so still retarded 
LOLOL They bought a whopping 30 Mavic 3s from China and that was before the war. And most of those are still sitting in their boxes. Ukraine now has some 150 different companies and businesses dedicated to drone production. That's not counting the volunteers upgrading all the commercial-grade drones.Where does any of that garbage say that UKRAINE is MANUFACTURING 100,000 A MONTH dones.
They are using them in war. Yes.
They are buying from 2 sources, China and..
Ukraine currently has the capacity to produce 150,000 drones per month. That's not including land and sea drones.
But that doesn't sound like losing? Scott Ritter on X says Ukraine is losing.
Why is Russia running away from Kharkiv and emptying Crimea?
Winning: When you have to resort to motorcycles and glorified golf carts from China to keep your mechanized units "mechanized".
Winning: When you have to resort to bombing hospitals and murdering children because your military can't fight its way out of a wet paper bag.
Winning: When you enter a war with 200,000 invading troops and lose between 500,000-750,000 of them, against the poorest country in Europe.
Winning: When you lose 25+ naval vessels to a country that has no real navy to speak of.
Winning: When you suck the dick of a leader whose country has the 198th ranked economy because you desperately need his shitty third-rate copies of Russian and Chinese military hardware.
Oh good god. A video with a retard who hates America so much he has to pumps pidor propaganda.
He's a convicted child sex offender to boot. You know the ol' saying, you can always trust a kiddy diddler.

Is he really? WTF??
Oh found it
Scott Ritter - Wikipedia
Meanwhile, Russia's own sanctions on Western goods are screwing them over. After banning meat, fish, eggs cheese and other foods from the EU, Russian food processors have resorted to using a banned substance in Russia (and the EU), transglutaminase or "meat glue". So now they risk poisoning their population. Christ, Russia has shot itself in the foot so many times they're standing on their bloody ankle nubs.
Try harder. First link from a Google search- Wikipedia: William Scott Ritter Jr. (born July 15, 1961) is an American author, former United States Marine Corps intelligence officer, former United Nations Special Commission (UNSCOM) weapons inspector and convicted child sex offender.
Never mind, you found it.
Scott Diddler...He's a convicted child sex offender to boot. You know the ol' saying, you can always trust a kiddy diddler.
Even if Bedpan wins, he still loses. In order for Putin's potential ill-gotten gains to be of any value to Russia he's going to have to do a LOT of rebuilding in Eastern Ukraine. With money Russia ain't got.
British Prime Minister Keir Starmer knows Biden fucked up at the NATO Summit but just can't quite admit to it in public.
Starmer previously admitted, before being elected PM, that Biden's cognitive ability is waning.
How do we Brits elect a youngish leader with years left in him and the Yanks elect an old guy with Alzheimer's?
Believe it or not, Starmer wasn't even born when Biden fought alongside the Zulus against the British at the Battle of Rorke's Drift in 1879.

The only people who are losing are the poor souls getting killed on both sides of the front and their families . All those on all six sides making hay certainly don’t care who is winning .
Montrealer pleads guilty to helping smuggle weapons components to Russia
Some of the parts were used by the Russian military in its invasion of Ukraine

A Montreal man has pleaded guilty in the United States to helping smuggle electronic components to Russia, where some of those parts were used by the Russian military in its invasion of Ukraine.
Nikolay Goltsev, 38, pleaded guilty to a charge of conspiracy to commit export control violations in Federal Court in New York City Tuesday, along with one of his co-conspirators, Salimdzhon Nasriddinov, 53, a U.S. resident.
The pair used two front companies to purchase electronic components with both civilian and military uses — known as dual-use technologies — from U.S. manufacturers and distributers, American prosecutors said. The men then used front companies in other countries, such as Turkey, Hong Kong, India, China and the United Arab Emirates, to hide the real destination of the components.
“The defendants in this case orchestrated a sophisticated, illegal scheme to smuggle electronic components to Russia for use in its invasion of Ukraine,” Christie Curtis, acting assistant director of the FBI in New York, said in a statement. “By using front companies, they sought to disguise their treachery but were ultimately exposed and brought to justice. These cases are critical because they undermine the global sanctions regime designed to isolate adversarial nations and protect international security.”
Some of the electronics shipped through the scheme were recovered from Russian tanks, helicopters, drones, missiles and other military equipment seized on the battlefield in Ukraine, according to U.S authorities.
Prosecutors say both men knew about the military applications of the electronic components. In a communication intercepted by U.S. authorities, the two men discussed the possibility that one of their shipments had been detained by U.S. officials because of Ukrainian allegations that parts from the same U.S. manufacturer were being used in Russian bombs.
“We need to figure out why they keep holding the package,” Goltsev wrote in a text message to Nasriddinov. “I don’t really understand how they figured (it) out.”
In February 2023, Nasriddinov wrote to Goltsev to wish him a happy Defender of the Fatherland Day, a Russian holiday that celebrates Russian and Soviet soldiers and veterans. In his response, Goltsev wrote that they were “defending it in the way that we can.”
With Tuesday’s guilty pleas, “all three defendants have acknowledged their involvement in their scheme to provide more than $7 million worth of material support to the Kremlin in its inhumane attacks on Ukraine. Nikolay Goltsev, Salimdzhon Nasriddinov and their co-conspirator co-ordinated the deployment of over 300 shipments of restricted electronics that were ultimately used on the Russian battlefield,” Ivan J. Arvelo, special agent in charge at Homeland Security Investigations New York, said in a statement.
Goltsev’s wife, Kristina Puzyreva, pleaded guilty in February to conspiracy to launder the proceeds of the export scheme. She is scheduled to be sentenced this month.
The couple lived in Ste-Anne-de-Bellevue before their arrest in Brooklyn last November, during a trip to visit Nasriddinov.
According to court documents, a pre-sentence report found that Goltsev was “controlling” of Puzyreva, 32, and isolated her.
However, in a sentencing memorandum filed with a U.S. federal court on Monday, prosecutors argued that Puzyreva acted independently and knew what she was doing.
In a text message to Goltsev, after a May 2023 drone attack on Moscow, Puzyreva wrote: “What is Putin waiting for. He needs to destroy Ukraine,” before describing Ukrainians as “losers” and saying she hates them while using an ethnic slur.
Prosecutors are seeking a 24-month sentence for Puzyreva. She has also agreed to forfeit $351,000.
Prosecutors say they have seized nearly US$1.7 million from accounts linked to the scheme.
Goltsev and Nasriddinov, who initially faced 10 charges, could each face up to 20 years in prison after pleading guilty to the single charge of conspiracy to commit export control violations, prosecutors say.
