🇷🇺 Russia produces more weapons and ammunition in three months than NATO does in an entire year, NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte said on February 13 in Brussels ahead of NATO Ministers of Defense meetings.

“We will discuss today the defence industrial base and how to produce more. We are not producing enough. And this is a collective problem we have, from the US up to and including Türkiye, and including the whole European Union, Norway, UK, we have fantastic defence industries, but we are not producing enough,” Rutte said.

The alliance’s Secretary General emphasized that NATO does not produce enough weapons compared to Moscow.

“No, I wanted to say Russia is producing in three months, what the whole of the Alliance is producing in the year, and this is simply not sustainable. We have to ramp up the defense industry production,” NATO Secretary General stressed.

Rutte added that increasing defense spending will also be on the agenda of today’s ministers’ meeting.

“We have to spend more, not only because the US expects that, because they expect Europe to take its and pay its fair share, but also we have to spend more because we know the threat coming from Russia and from other adversaries is increasing,” he stated.

On February 12, US President Donald Trump said that he does not consider Ukraine’s NATO hip practical, but stated that Washington will continue providing aid.

👍🏻 Like for Russia-Putin, share for USA/Nazi/NATO 卍

Russia is a silent slow killer💯they kill and destroy you little by little by little every day. I Stan Mother and Father Russia 😎

Not surprising

Russia is in a direct war while NATO isnt

Russia concentrates all its money only on weapons.

Is that even something to be proud of?. No much difference between them and that North Korea.

Ok

UKRAINE-RUSSIA WAR; A BRUTAL LESSON IN GEOPOLITICS AND WAR HISTORY

The war in Ukraine has claimed millions of lives and brought chaos into the doorstep of western Europe once again ever since the balkanization of Yugoslavia.

To my fellow readers, Yorubas and non Yorubas, I will beg you to leave emotions and humbly learn what Gorbachev called "realpolitik", we call it Geopolitics. Geopolitics is war, history, politics and conquest. To understand it, is to crack the code of how our world works, therefore I am begging us to please use Ukraine-Russia scenario as an opportunity to decolonize our weak and naive minds as black Africans. Before we start this brief intellectual journey, I will like to State it categorically that I am not pro Russia or pro West, I am just an African pouring out my thoughts as regards the future of our world.

The world is divided into two blocs namely;
1. The Superpowers
2. and the rest of us.

Who are the Superpowers? Superpowers are regional or global bullies. They use their soft and brutal power to crush lesser empires and lesser countries. That has always been the way of the world from the time of Babylon to the times of the Ummayid caliphate till this present moment.
We saw what Trump did by unilaterally renaming the more 300 years old Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America. That's the definition of Superpowers! Can or UK try that in 2025? No! But America can do it, Russia can try it and China can dare it. The three powers are regional superpowers!

Ever since the fall of the USSR, we only had one Unipolar power in the world which was the United States of America. USA was able to use her economic power to turn European colonial powers into vassals of America. It created NATO and other proxy organization to build an American empire.
The rise of China has created a rival super power that is far more capable than USSR. The emergence of Putin has also led to the rise of a resurgent Russia which is slowly rebuilding its Russian empire brick by brick.

Ukraine is the European country sitting on the black sea which has a considerable ethnic Russian population in its Eastern axis. The politics of Ukraine is tored between pro Russian elements versus pro Western elements.

Ukraine and Russia are the bread and food baskets of the world and Europe especially. Cheap Russian Gas and cheap steels and other goods from Ukraine has been one of the things sustaining the prosperity of Europe.

This are my postulations as regards to the whole scenario;
1. European powers underestimated the military and economic resilience of Putin and they thought they could Ukraine another Slavic powerhouse to cannibalise Russia.
2. They thought Russia will be afraid to confront NATO in Ukraine.
3. They expected an internal coup detat to destroy Russia from within because of the cost of the war on Russia but Russia was able to build a powerful war time economy that wasn't expected at all.

Now let's talk about what Ukraine lost in this war-
1. 1/4 of the population of Ukraine have left the country as refugees permanently and might never return to Ukraine till eternity.
2. Ukraine has lost nearly 25 percent of its land mass to Russia.
3. Eastern Ukraine is like the Lagos and Niger Delta of Ukraine. Russia has taken it away from Ukraine.
4. Ukraine has lost 80 percent of its sea access to the black sea meaning that Ukraine is almost transforming from a coastal sea powerhouse in 2021 to a landlocked country in 2025.
5. 60 percent of the mineral resources in Ukraine is now in the hands of Russia.
6. Nearly 1 million Ukrainans have lost their lives.
7. Western multinational corporations have bought nearly 60 percent of the remaining fertile soil in Ukraine as a compensation for assisting Ukraine in the war.
8. The less than 40 percent mineral resources in Ukraine has been sold out to USA as a collateral for loans during the war.
9. Russia now control almost the entirety of the black sea.

10. He who controls Eurasia will become an Empire and Russia understands this and they won this war.
11. Ukraine will not NATO.
12. Ukraine will not EU.
13. Ukraine will probably self implode after the war is over.

Conquest is a legal means to acquire land in the international rule of law. Israel took Golan height and Mount Hermon from Syria via war till today and nothing has happened.
Turkey stole Northern cyprus from Cyprus since the 1970s, nothing has happened and the world moved on.

This is the definition of power and Geopolitics.
I hope we learnt some lessons.

Russia, despite its size and its acclaimed supposed stupendous military might, has been struggling to subdue Ukraine since 2022—an embarrassing display of failure. But even that doesn't compare to Nigeria’s historical gross ineptitude. Despite being backed by global superpowers like the Soviet Union, Britain, Arab world and Egypt, Nigeria still couldn't achieve anything meaningful on the battlefield against a blockaded Biafra. Instead, its only "victory" was the mass starvation of innocent women and children. Both Russia and Nigeria seem to be nothing more than oversized burdens to their respective continents—offering nothing but chaos, stagnation, and disgrace.

Both countries deserve a well crafter recognition on worlds epic failures and crass ineptitude.

Both countries are just endowed with oil and gas and a pile of densely dumbest idiots in power. Thank God Ukraine cut Russia into size. Russia will think very very carefully before invading another country.

SeverusSnape:
Russia concentrates all its money only on weapons.

That's not an excuse.

You're telling me a whole 32 countries cannot outproduce 1 country?

I thought you all said the US has more firepower.

The Ukraine war really exposed the US.

NATO should pay their fair share and stop having entitlements over US business especially in the Middle East.

The US wants to protect its closest ally in the Middle East, and a safer US means a stronger NATO, so NATO should leave sentiments and let US handle business in Gaza.

Subdue what? Define what victory means to you

70% of Ukraine's mineral resources is in Russian hands.

Why does the whole NATO cry every 3 days about Russia? Russia will do this Russia will do that.

You think you know better than them?

Russia is pounding Ukraine day and night non stop. Taking cities by cities.

Should I show you pictures for you to see entire Ukrainian cities flattened?

If you think Russia is weak, let NATO step foot in Ukraine first.

Even their boss, the USA have denied Ukraine out of fear.

Of course till 50 years from now, The GREATEST nation on Earth (USA) will still have more firepower.
Russia is expending all its resources for weapons is not something to be proud of. How is their economy faring?. How are the citizens faring??
Like Russia like North Korea, Like USA like South Korea. Where would you rather be?.

We are talking about the second strongest military in the whole world fighting against a non rated military, even Ukraine is occupying a part of the Russian federation

NATO Secretary General who has access to Intel and information you'll never have is telling you Russia is producing more firepower than the US + NATO combined but we should believe you over him right?

Even Biden said the same thing last year. But you can keep deceiving yourself.

Hmmmm.....

It's not the amount of weapons but the effectiveness of them

Find out how fought the second world War, the lightning speed they used to take over big European powers like etc. United Kingdom managed to escape by the whiskers

RealLordZeus:

Russia has always outproduced NATO.

Check their history. They produce missiles like bread

Lol. It's not about mass production. It's about effectiveness.

We saw how effective they were in Iran and Syria.

U say all dis bad things about Russia yet u still need their oil and gas ..... With all your useless sanctions, Russia did not crash... Na una suffer am

NATO’s gotta ramp up production fast if Russia’s outproducing them three to one! 😆

K. Yet to conquer Ukraine and buying drones from iran

You don't even understand English. Producing now does not mean they have more. The US of A has enough stockpiled in their arsenal, far more than russia will ever have.

Same way Tinubu produces hardship dan all past Nigeria president e no go better for all hands dat voted apc

You and know the fight is between Russia and NATO.

Do they want to provoke Russia.
Why are they scared.

The world is coming to an end
