You're really struggling dude, maybe you should go back to LSU and see if you can get some remedial help in statistics?

If that chart is arms sales that would makes sense, during war time and sanctions their sales decrease, but that is not what he was talking about.. he is saying those countries would rather. You can't buy what isn't for sale or can't buy just like the article you posted is saying or implying.

Jesus. He never said the sales didn't go down in that specific post, of course sales went down. You posted the article and you didn't even read it.

Russian arms sales have been declining since 2010. Sanctions exacerbated the trend, and watching Russian equipment perform poorly for the last two years, have driven away long time customers.

You really are terrible at reading bar graphs, aren't you?

Maybe you'll do better with a line graph?

It has nothing to do with bar charts, it has to do with factors as to why they might be decreasing.

Dinosaur sales went to 0.... you jump to the conclusion people don't want to buy a dinosaur. But I want to buy a dinosaur.

Sales can go down for a number of reasons - productions, export bans, import bans, U.S. pressure, lack of resources, sanctions, wars, etc. He never claimed any sales amount in that specific post, the article you posted is saying/implying/assuming why they think the sales went down.

Posting a bar chart does nothing to address that specific post, not really, I mean you can have the opinion but I don't think you have really provided much of value. The U.S. generally is going to restrict NATO countries from buying from them.... this isn't something new and is exactly what Turkey has been dealing with i.e. threats.

I am only talking about the specific post of his you reposted, where you said how many times can he be wrong. Its not really much of a right/wrong thing.


Its like saying what is the most likeable automobile than you produce sale charts for automobiles, but the thing is... people might like other cars that they didn't buy for a number of reasons. He is basically saying countries like Russian weapons more, a sales chart basically doesn't help much in the context of this, imo.

You could surmise, maybe. That doesn't make him right, imo, but as a generally opinion I tend to agree with him.

All you pro-Russian, American haters may get your wish and get the US/Russian War that you want.

Congrats Benedict Arnolds/Judas Iscariots.

It has nothing to do with bar charts you moron. You are using a bar chart to say its a fact that these countries would rather U.S. weapons, that's can't be assumed due to the article you yourself posted They are mostly unable to buy Russian weapons due to the war and or most likely can't due to the sanctions.

Hey guys on March 24th I prayed to the moon god that night it would a full moon, what do you know it was a full moon.... my prayer was answered.

The Russian are not selling as many weapons because there probably isn't many left to sell and than sanctions, of course the bar chart is going to say all that. You posted the article that says or implies exactly that.

Hey guys the bar chart for live dinosaur sales went to 0, boy, we need to fire our sales and marketing department. Dinosaurs R' Us 😂

Is this some type of troll, I really have a hard time telling.

I have the guy on "Ignore" and haven't bothered to read his post. But could it be that the sanctions or threat of sanctions is a likely factor in some of these countries not buying from Russia?

Feng Yujun, one of the China's leading Russianists and a professor at Peking University: Russia is sure to lose in Ukraine – The Economist

Four reasons why Russian Federation will lose to Ukraine, according to Feng Yujun:

  • The first is the level of resistance and national unity shown by Ukrainians, which has until now been extraordinary.
  • The second is international support for Ukraine, which, though recently falling short of the country’s expectations, remains broad.
  • The third factor is the nature of modern warfare, a contest that turns on a combination of industrial might and command, control, communications and intelligence systems. One reason Russia has struggled in this war is that it is yet to recover from the dramatic deindustrialisation it suffered after the disintegration of the Soviet Union.
  • The final factor is information. When it comes to decision-making, Vladimir Putin is trapped in an information cocoon, thanks to his having been in power so long. The Russian president and his national-security team lack access to accurate intelligence. The system they operate lacks an efficient mechanism for correcting errors. Their Ukrainian counterparts are more flexible and effective.
His conclusion is as follows:

  • Russia will be forced to withdraw from all occupied Ukrainian territories, including Crimea.
  • Russia's nuclear capability is no guarantee of success. Feng Yujun gives the example of the United States, which left Vietnam, Korea, and Afghanistan with no less nuclear potential than the Russian Federation has today.
  • Kyiv has proven that Moscow is not invincible, so a ceasefire under the "Korean" scenario is ruled out.
  • The war is a turning-point for Russia. It has consigned Putin’s regime to broad international isolation. He has also had to deal with difficult domestic political undercurrents, from the rebellion by the mercenaries of the Wagner Group and other pockets of the military — for instance in Belgorod — to ethnic tensions in several Russian regions and the recent terrorist attack in Moscow. These show that political risk in Russia is very high. Mr Putin may recently have been re-elected, but he faces all kinds of possible black-swan events.
  • After the war, Ukraine will have the chance join both the EU and NATO, while Russia will lose its former Soviet republics because they see Putin's aggression there as a threat to their sovereignty and territorial integrity.
  • According to Feng Yujun, the war, meanwhile, has made Europe wake up to the enormous threat that Russia’s military aggression poses to the continent’s security and the international order, bringing post-cold-war EU-Russia detente to an end. Many European countries have given up their illusions about Mr Putin’s Russia

He’s implying the US and UK active defense of Israel last night while not actively participating in defense of Ukraine over the last two years means the west doesn’t care about Ukraine. Or cares much less than they care about Israel at least.

Oh, and the Ukrainians are also upset that the Americans have been dragging out the $61 billion aid package for 6 months, but the Congress is now going to rush an emergency aid package for Israel in the next few days after last night.

If the US (allegedly) assisted Israel directly in air defense last night, then why won't they (directly) do it in Ukraine?

Perhaps because your angel/hero threatened Nuclear Holocaust if anyone got involved. Maybe that is why.

Such a great leader you root for who openly talks often about killing billions with Nuclear Weapons.

Meanwhile in Ukraine, Pervomayskoye was liberated yesterday outside of Donetsk/Avdiivka area and today the Russians liberated Bogdanivka outside of Bahkmut/Artyomosk.

It’s more due to the US has consistently stated they would directly intervene in the defense of Israel while consistently stating they would not directly intervene in the defense of Ukraine. The stooge is taking a Captain Obvious moment and using it for more capitulate propaganda for the orcs. Which I’d guess is fairly common today and he’s just doing what he’s told by his stooge handler.

Putin is a traitor to Russia.

He turns on his Christian brothers to ally with traditional Islamic enemies of Russia

Gets in bed with China who hates Russia and wants Vladivostock and Eastern Siberia back

He claims Ukrainians are Russians but he kills them and Russians by the thousands (basically killing his own people)

He isolated Russia going against the ideals of Peter the Great and Catherine the Great by making enemies of all of Europe

Basically he is the equivalent of Kaiser Wilhelm II in that he can't make friends, makes enemies, and ruins his own nation.
