On DU contamination after the Khmelnitsky arms depot explosion, resistance of S-400 to reverse engineering, the overmatch against NATOistan's Wunderwaffe, the prospect of Israel joining BRICS etc...:

Remember the new Wunderwaffe that were the Brimstone missiles? Swept under the
rug and memory-holed already after completely failing. How about the Hellfires,
remember those? And the AGM-88 Harms? They were supposed to have completely
wiped out all Russian AD. Have you ever heard of one even hitting an AD system?
They don't mention them anymore, have you noticed? How about Harpoons? Seen a
Javelin hit lately? Or a Starstreak? How's HIMARs? They do about one strike a
month at most now. Patriot was unceremoniously destroyed and sold on the Dark
Web in its first week. How about GLSDB's and JDAMs, seen them taking out Russian
command centers lately? I haven't. And on and on it goes.

I stated yesterday that fighter jets is the arena that has the single largest
disparity between Ukraine-Russia. You're going to supply what, a token force of
10, or 20, or even 50 fighter jets against a country that has an airforce of
4,200 total, about 1,500 of them being fighter/bomber/attack craft? It's a drop
in the bucket and will make no difference at all. Russian jets are simply
superior in every conceivable way, outnumber them by grotesque amounts, and are
actually aided in the theater by systems like S-400, A-50U AWACs etc., which can
network radar details to them, while the poor F-16s will be all alone
(U.S. AWACs can't reach from Polish border).

By the way, early reports state Ukraine may be getting the Block 50/52 F-16s
which, as I understand it, have the new AN/APG-83 radars swapped in, which are
radars derived from the powerful F-22 AESA APG-77. However, I'd still recommend
for people to look up the power of the legendary Zaslon-M radar of the Mig-31
and even the Irbis-E of the Su-35. There are many arguments on whose side is
superior, depending on who you ask, but despite having certain draw backs, the
Russian radars have longer detection ranges and I'd favor them against the
F-16. Not to mention many people forget that the Su-35 is actually built to be
somewhat stealthy, with radar absorbent material and certain redesigned angles
on it are said to make its cross section half that of the Su-27 it's based
on. There is just no logical argument that can be made for the F-16s standing
any chance.

But besides that, Russia stretching this out means rebuilding their industries
and massively ramping up their production, training new generations of skilled
workers which will allow the construction of entirely new factories and
production lines. The West claims to be doing this, or rather attempting to, but
it's going no where near the pace compared to Russia because the West doesn't
have the human capital, energy, materials needed for such ramp ups as their
societies and supply chains are currently undergoing huge stagnation and
malaise.

...

It would be hard to pull Israel away from the Western bloc in my opinion simply
because Israel is the brainchild of UK and is likely controlled by MI6. Many
conspiracy theorists believe that Mossad controls the world, controls both
CIA/MI6 but it's really the opposite. Israel was always the 'forward operating
base' for the UK to gain a foothold into the Middle East to continue their
Sykes-Picot and Great Game imperialism. MI6 of course completely controls and
owns the CIA as well, and controls the entire U.S. establishment by way of it,
but that's another story.
