”The idea that Russia has endless resources is frustrating for the reason that it supports much of the rhetoric that the West can’t afford to support #Ukraine in the war because there’s no way they’ll outlast Russia. But in reality that’s not the case.”
-Anders Puck Nielsen
Yup. It’s not the Soviet Union. They’ll start to run into serious trouble by summer 2025 and that’s why they’re boosting these views with their troll army.

Who said _anyone_ has endless resources? When I look at what's being done to ensure we abandon fossil fuels it "endless European resources" is not a phrase anyone ever uses...

@tobychev @BorisBarbour Yes, no-one has endless resources. But what I belive mr Nielsen is referring to there, is something where Putin’s Russia uses history instead of the current state of affairs to paint a picture.
Both the Russian empire & Soviet Union did have an almost unlimited supply on men to send to die. In foregone eras lacking precision & mass-kill remote weapons that was a formidable threat.

Honestly, this turned much more silly than I could imagine.
All I will say in reply is: you should try finding the source of that quote, it will be instructive for where most of the things you said really come from.
