I dont have any evidence but keep wondering if there is a public response and a more hushhush realpolitik thing going on under the surface

      Thatonecoder raised an intriguing countertheory, that they could be quietly putting together their own homegrown version (likely with rare parts from the US i would add). Hope they are

        If they are making their own then they aren’t using them. I refuse to believe that they wouldn’t if they could. Therefore the US has probably told them to not use them in exchange for steady re-supply or intelligence access.

          This is a game of shadows, too; Russia can’t know about it until it is too late for them.

    What’s happening is that, unlike the Europeans, the US is trying to find an off ramp because they understand that they lost their proxy war.

    There is a higher chance that Ukraine has made their own missiles, and this is all a distraction.

          They have no large scale manufacturing at this point because Russia can hit anywhere in Ukraine with impunity, and does large strikes on daily basis now. On top of that, Ukrainian energy grid is on its last legs now. https://archive.ph/vRYOO

          If you actually believe these stories of Ukraine working on their own missiles then you’re a highly credulous individual. The article you linked is from August, and we’ve seen zero evidence for any of what it says being true. I guess some people still can’t learn to spot bullshit after having been lied to by western media for the past three years.

            That source also says Ukraine is extremely resilient, doesn’t it? Even if their energy grid is “on its last legs”, they can make contracts with foreign manufacturers, and find other solutions for civilians.

                There is no person wanting a society with equity and unity more than me. However, no country has done that so far, and, at this point, I believe there have to be civil wars in many, many countries until that point.

              The same source that’s been telling you that Ukraine is winning the war. But hey if you still believe that, what else is there to tell you.

    You have not heard of the Big Chungus missile that is coming over post haste? It is all over Telegram.
