As Putin escalates the war in Ukraine, some Russian officials and businessmen have questions about how many missiles Russia has left and how long it can sustain a bombing campaign.

“No one is happy with the status quo,” the Russian state official said. “It is clear that a military or political victory will not be possible. But a loss is not possible either. This is turning into the situation in chess known as zugzwang, when each step is worse than the next and yet it is impossible not to move.”

The forced mobilization has already dealt a blow to Putin’s popularity, one of the main bases for his legitimacy as president, and when the dead bodies of reservists begin to return from the front, the situation could worsen, the Moscow businessman said.“In several months, there will be a very negative dynamic in Russia: a worsening of the mood in society,” he said. “Everything depends on the front.

Economists and business executives say sanctions are beginning to hit the Russian economy harder, with budget cuts already being imposed — while a proposed price cap to beon Russian oil sales from December would be a further blow. The Russian president “will run low on cash … He needs cash to pay Iran and North Korea for weapons. But we will see in December a completely new reality,” said Sergei Guriev, the provost at the Sciences Po university in Paris.

I cannot understand how it is possible that the WP believes that 🇷🇺 will run out of missiles, 🇷🇺, like the 🇺🇸, are arms manufacturers. That's not going to happen. But what is then the intention of this simple lie, to get 🇨🇳 into the conflict, the real danger for the 🇺🇸.

The only can stop this war is citizens of Russia.

Be subtle, but these Russians should let Putin know to stop this disastrous war with Ukraine!!

Is Putin's gamble is escalation will get the West to force Ukraine to the negotiating table so Poo Tin can have a face saving way out, and is hoping this happens before he runs out of ammunition?

The main question is not how many missiles putin/ russia has, but what quality are they? Below is the answer to this question.

As long as Russia selling it energy

From March through to September...here is a handy list of all the times the west has said Russia is/has run out of missiles. Here is an analysis of the wests ability to provide them to Ukraine.

Such heavily one sided coverage of this conflict, in all forms of media. It raises many concerns.

Just the way the usa want it
