  It's not something to test. Obviously. But it's something to keep in mind too when Putin waves his dick around.
context: What have they been doing this whole time?
  Is that a signal to dial back the corruption a bit? >
  
  Impossible. Without corruption nothing gets done in Russia. >
  
  And with corruption, nothing gets done in Russia... >
  
  Yes. >
  
  Such a great system that it’s been around since the time of the Tsar. >
  
  It truly does control the masses, sheeple. >
  
  "Remember how you used to import chip to make weapon?  Now you make chip instead." 
  "Um, sir?"
  "Chip made of metal you have metal you make chip make chip then make weapon."
  "Yes sir!!" >
  
  “Good thing we have all these knock off game boys from China. That should work.” >
  
  Chip can control great Russian game Tetris, can control missile guidance too. >

  Dmitri! No wait dontruck explodes >
  
  The beatings will continue until morale improves. >
  
  My dad knew somebody who came over from the Soviet Union. Their town’s primary industry was making pants at a factory for the surrounding area. The system was such that the workers had a weight quota per day, which resulted in them only making XL size to hit that limit faster so they could go home early every day. 
  I feel like that story really sums up the general mentality that led to their current situation. >
  
  I read about a tractor factory in Soviet Union where the production was also measured not in tractors produced, but in tons. This led the factory to outfit each tractor with an overweight engine. This made them just about useless as tractors, but the numbers looked good. >
  
  One story I liked was about healthcare - they had a system where hospitals were ranked by how many healthy patients they hold, I guess logic being that the more people are taken care of the more healthy patients there will be or something. So the top hospitals were pretty much useless as they'd just keep doing routine checks on healthy people. >
  
  I read about the healthcare industry. Their metrics were based on total weight of patients discharged.. so they all got fat on vodka and stew. >
  
  Hah!  He called it a war again. >
  
  This is like macron telling the French national team to just "play better" so they didn't lose the world cup. Pointless comment that changes nothing. It's not like the will just realize, "oh shit, I didn't think of that" and just improve. >
  
  Russia never invested in its people. Their economy is reliant on natural resources. Their military is dependent on western technology. Asking them to up it’s game was better asked before the invasion. >
  
  Counting on the renown Russian efficiency! From the photo,  Shcheglovsky Val Director General Alexei Visloguzov can't even correctly puff-out his chest. >
  
  Funny it is still being called defence industry >
  
  Putin ready to send more Russians to the slaughter. >
  
  Like it hasn't so far. Pure propaganda to justify the shameful results and get him a few more days until somebody leaves a window open >
  
  It is a war now, huh?
  Whole SMO has been shelved, I guess.. >
  
  Putin openly calls it a war while thousands of Russians are still in prison for that exact statement. >
  
  OHHHH that always works. I love giving my team the “play better!” talk >
  
  Ok dickwad.  With no resources we'll, uhh, (checks notes) materialize what we need to build zee best weapons from thin air. >
  
  Nearly a year in he's asking them to start ramping up production? >
  
  Cool.More sudden fires in factories. >
  
  Still no answer for HIMARS. >
  
  Russia is a shit show. >
  
  "for fucks sake, you guys... get it together" -Putin (probably) >
  
  "He's upped his game...that we must match...with much more game!"

  most of their brains left russia or died in ukraine.  i think it's a bit late for this, Putler >
  
  So they are turning whole of russia into a war machine, to fight a war they most likely cant win, for a piece of land they dont really need? >
  
  It took forever for them to realize they needed the US to get to the shale oil. Once we opened that Pandora's box the rest is history. >
  
  "We're embezzling the money as fast as we can already sir!" >
  
  Reddit desperately became a dumpster of "putin says" news. Fuck this shit and fuck anybody giving a stage for terrorists. >
  
  Vlad thinking, “Maybe I should wear a cape with this pose.” >
  
  What? Were they using their shitty tech and logistics to lower Ukraine's guard? Russia's tech is horrendously outdated. Russia is broke. And to add, if Russia really is as broke as we can see...
  Their nuclear arsenal is likely useless. Because it's $1,000,000 per warhead to maintain them. meaning for just the payload alone, not including the missile and other necessary tech. >
  
  Let's not test your premise about the nuclear arsenal.   If even one works,  that's bad.
