What Rules-based Global Order are you referring to? We're witnessing the gradual loss of the Holy Land (Palestine) when the so-called "Rules-based Global Order" arms, finances, and protects this brutal land grab and the suppression of the indigenous Palestinian people?

Iraq, Afghanistan. Libya, Somalia, Syria, Lebanon, and Yemen were all invaded and the people in these countries were massacred. You know the culprits who did it. We're refugees all over the world because of the consistent Western interferences in our internal affairs, and you want to preach me "Rules-based Global Order"? It is really shocking you admire this evil system.

Let me tell you something bro: The so-called "Rules-based Global Order" is the Yajuj-wa-Majuj World Order. It is an evil system which is designed to subjugate us. Alhamdullillah, they met their challenge from others. Let us hope and pray they will eliminate each other by deploying nukes against each other.

So because of these injustices did you support the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan as well?

Good, it looks like we see them coming

Unlike Ukrainian industry, the Russian defence firms are still working. Unless you think sanctions have crippled Russian ability to make 152mm shells?

Then they can use Belrussian ammo, central Asian nations like Kazakhstan can provide from their stocks, China could transfer the huge number of air to ground weapons they got when they purchased SU 27, SU 30 and SU 35 and let's not forget North Korea.

Russian defence industries will be able to churn out low tech weapon systems without any problems. Higher end might be an issue.

No doubt that, Russian stocks of low-tech ammo are enough to fight WW2 few times over, but they need to get them to the frontlines.

Currently Russian logistics is busy hauling vehicles, and heavier munitions, which can be launched from further away. That's logical.

Eventually, they will start going more towards tube artillery as their FOBs start running dry, but for tube arty the weapon/munition ratio is more important. Tube arty also needs way more trained artillery officers, whom they already lost a lot in Kiyv to counterbattery, and bombing

This is why we are seeing humongous amounts of 152mm SPGs being delivered from Russian reserves to the East. Russia has mostly abandoned 122mm calibre, unlike Ukraine.

The question is, whether they will make it in time. First Russian armour regiments are already trying to advance without long range support.

152mm range advantage will not matter much if they have to get up close to not to hit their own, or fire on entrenched positions.

155/152 advantage is mostly relevant in in offensive, when your armour can overrun enemy lines after the barrage, without letting enemy return long range fire, or in artillery duels with no own attacking forces close to the enemy.

I believe that recently the Russians pegged it at 5,000 roubles per gram.

It might be different now. Whatever the current situation, there is a determined atempt to fix the rouble to gold. I am told that Russia is the world's largest holder of gold, and China isn't too far behind.



It's so strange that what has been stated by academics and diplomats clearly, that this is due to the eastern expansion of Nato, is totally missing from the mainstream media.

I know, thats why I am asking if Russian citizens can buy gold at 5,000 ruble per gram.

If they can, I am going to russia to buy gold. Free money.

I can buy at least 200 rubles for every US dollar. With this gold price im getting gold at a major discount, like 50%+ off the gold spot price. Its basically free money

So my guess is Russia doe not allow its citizens to buy gold at this price. This is only the price Russia pays you when it confiscates your gold.

152mm range advantage will not matter if their first units already sit few hundred meters away from the enemy, and they will risk hitting their own, and/or getting hit by close range Ukrainian arty which was already entrenched there if they want to get close.

Russia mainly uses precision guided artillery these days. Cuts down on ammo usage. Easier on logistics.
