From the article:
US imperialism deliberately provoked Russia into a war with Ukraine
Fucking lying tankie scum.
Also funny that alleged “communists” support an authoritarian (increasingly becoming totalitarian) oligarch capitalist state.
To quote a Portuguese comedian “the communists are still drunkenly believing that Russia is still communist”
It’s really about taking the opposite side to everyone else on geopolitics, because they were too gay to join QAnon. The communist stuff is just for decoration.
What a poorly written piece of garbage propaganda. It starts with the lie that the US started the in Ukraine, when it’s only Putin who wanted that war, and only Putin who can stop it. If it was a proxy war, would Trump be sucking up to Putin? If Ukraine was the US’s puppet, Trump’s surrender to Putin would have worked and Putin’s conquest would have been successful.
Instead, the Russian economy is struggling because a million soldiers were sacrificed at the frontlines while many others fled the country. It’s only China propping them up that allows Russia to continue their pitiful war.
Russia…
Ok, so far.
… emerges …
War ain’t over yet buddy. They ain’t “emerged” from anything.
…strengthened…
- Down over a million soldiers
- Basically out of tanks
- No air defence left
- Lost several irreplaceable AWACS and strategic bombers.
- The Black Sea fleet decimated and forced to hide.
- Running out of fuel.
- Economy set to collapse.
…from Ukraine war,…
…that it started.
…with profound implications…
How are we going to look after all the Russian citizens after the Russian state collapses?
for western imperialism.
Translation: Allowing countries to join a joint defence pact so they’re not an easy target anymore.
I don’t think I’ll bother reading that article. The headline was work enough.
LOL the russian economy is fucked up beyond recognition, they can’t stop the war or else their country snaps back into a fucking barter system - and even the russian economists say that.
and russia started that war, you lying piece of shit. also, they are not in war with NATO or else we would already have held a parade on the red square just to piss you off.
:))
ok tankie
Wrong instance
It’s currently a 182nd week of the 2 week police operation, Russians got to be tired of all the winniging by now /s.
I am glad this exists. How else can people who unlike me didn’t live under comminist regime get to appreciate the unique unconstrained by reality logic of a communist newspaper 😂
Yeah, sure. You 'member when everyone was afraid of the Russian armour stockpile, which is now scraps in Ukraine?
And, y’know, they’re pretty much down a navy too. Somebody might actually believe the “Ukraine’s being used as a pawn” stuff, stick with that.
Why are the communists supporting a fascist? Do they want Molotov-Ribbentrop 2.0?
What the sycophant Rutte failed to mention at this gangsters’ get-together is that the reason for this spending spree is the fact that NATO is massively out-gunned by Russia’s powerful military-industrial complex
I believe that Russia has more artillery shell manufacturing capacity. But in general, outside that, I think that it’d be pretty hard to make that case.

In a keynote speech in London last month, the NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte repeated a warning he has made in public at least three times this year: the western alliance is severely lagging behind Moscow on ammunition production.
“In terms of ammunition, Russia produces in three months what the whole of NATO produces in a year,” Rutte said on 10 June, adding that Putin’s war machine is “speeding up, not slowing down".
Rutte, who became chief of the military alliance in October last year, went on to repeat the same warning.
“Let me repeat it again. NATO’s economy is 25 times bigger than Russia’s. It’s 50 trillion (dollars), and the Russian economy is two trillion. That two-trillion-dollar economy is producing four times as much ammunition as the whole of NATO is producing at the moment,” he said.
The Estonian Foreign Intelligence Service estimates that Russia produced or refurbished 400,000 artillery rounds in 2022, multiplying its production more than eleven-fold to produce 4.5 million rounds in 2024.
An analysis by consulting firm Bain & Company for Sky News in May 2024 came to the same conclusion, putting the total number of shells produced or refurbished in 2024 at an estimated 4.5 million rounds.
In 2024, Europe and the US produced an estimated 1.2 million shells per year, according to the Berlin-based German Institute for International and Security Affairs, compared to Russia’s estimated 4.5 million.
It looks like RT and similar have been repeating the quote while not making it clear that Rutte was talking specifically about artillery shells:
https://www.rt.com/russia/623430-west-shocked-russian-arms-production/
Earlier this year, NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte said that “it’s simply unthinkable” that Russia “should be able to outproduce and outgun” the US-led military bloc. Under US pressure, European NATO states pledged in June to increase their defense spending to 5% of their GDP.
So if you figure that RT’s content probably reflects the messages that the Kremlin wants put out, the Kremlin is presumably aiming for an image that Russia is more-broadly powering past NATO in arms production.
And this Russia that has built up power, is it in the same room with us now? 😁
Had to make sure it wasn’t a joke.
