If you had legitimate knowledge of secret artillery stocks, you wouldn't be posting about it on a public forum.

5% of GDP is a significant amount which I am extremely skeptical of Western countries being willing to dedicate to sending aid to Ukraine

Yes, obviously. That was my point. Again, yes, this is all obvious and doesn't contradict my point. The problem is that the population of most NATO countries is not nearly dedicated enough to the war for that to be feasible, so it is irrelevant. Barring a large change in circumstances, no NATO...

I should clarify that also that I am of the opinion that either the US or the EU on their own could definitely outproduce Russia if push came to shove, though I do question the willingness of the West to make the civilian economy sacrifices necessary for high military production. They could of...

Nope, don't know the answer to any of those questions. Does @Husky_Khan know the answer to any of those questions, or really any details about the manufacturing and industrial sectors underlying the raw numbers he linked to from the World Bank? Do you, since you thanked him for the link he...

What figures did I site? It's also pretty obvious that those figures don't connect too much to warmaking capacity, seeing as highly placed as Ireland is, a country with almost no heavy industry. But just as an example, the US steel industry's market value was twice that of the Russian steel...

This appears to just be the dollar value of manufacturing, which isn't a particularly useful metric for measuring warmaking capacity. A shell that costs 19 times as much to make in one country is not necessarily 19 times better or more useful.

The same can be said of much of the US, yet I doubt you're going to be questioning whether the US nuclear arsenal is functional.

This is a "One swift kick will send the whole rotten structure crashing down" level of bad take. Assuming you're enemy is completely incapable of accomplishing anything generally doesn't end well.

It also rests on the bizarre assumption that China would just sit there doing nothing while being attacked and completely brushes off the possibility of China launching nuclear weapons which apparently wouldn't affect the US at all.

The fact that Palestinians continue to be willing to support violent resistance to the Israeli state shows this to be nothing more than a ridiculous self-serving lie. Even if your claims about Arafat creating Israel were true--which they aren't--it would be irrelevant as they are now firmly...

What qualifies a culture as not deserving to continue? Industrialized mass murder of infants via abortion being both legal and often outright celebrated, perhaps? We can talk about what cultures should or should not exist if you want, but you might not like my criteria and the judgements I put down.

Whatever lie you want to tell yourself so that you can pretend you don't want to commit cultural genocide. Your good buddy Putin thinks the same thing about Ukraine.

Lots of nations had never been states at any point in history prior to their independence. You are just utterly ignorant about the history of nationalism and cannot differentiate between the idea of the state and the idea of the nation.

Statehood and nationhood are hardly the same thing, or was their no Polish nation for the entire 19th century? Austria-Hungary was a state but not a nation, while the Basques are a nation but not a state.
