Sounds like a problem for the oligarchs to fix.

At this rate they will decline to US rail network levels. You’d think their neighbor to the southeast might do something about it. Isn’t Russia part of BRI?

Yup, Russian railway networks are going to collapse right after Russia runs out of ammo and troops on the frontline.

Nah, Ukrainian army collapsing is what’s actually happening. Even mainstream western media is now admitting archive.ph/n8GEl

Yet, here you are still guzzling the same recycled propaganda that you’ve been fed for the past two years entirely uncritically.

I’m just reposting, friend. You’re “guzzling” just as much propaganda as I am. Truth is lost in war and it doesn’t matter what I believe will happen. We’ll see what happens when it happens.

What I’ve been predicting would happen for the past two years is what’s actually happening. And now we’re at the point where even mainstream western media is openly admitting it. My position hasn’t changed this whole time. Meanwhile, people who predicted that Russia would collapse economically, that Russian military would run out of ammo, and all the other nonsense have a lot of explaining to do.

I mean don’t take my word for it, read the FT article I linked above. Explains the situation in plain terms.

Sounds like western propaganda to me 😁.

But in all seriousness, I am mostly disbelieving that we have nostradamus manifest over here

yogthos ,
@yogthos@lemmy.ml avatar

You don’t have to be nostradamus manifest to understand the basics of how economics work or historical literacy. Plenty of western experts understood what a proxy war with Russia would look like, and explained in great detail why it must play out the way it is. You keep on believing whatever you like of course, reality doesn’t care about your opinions.

Mhm, this is why nobody has been able to predict shit about this conflict, is it? Including you of course.

yogthos ,
@yogthos@lemmy.ml avatar

Plenty of people, including myself, were able to predict a lot about this conflict. Go back and read my comments over the past two years if you don’t believe me. Go look at what people like Brian Berlectic, John Mearsheimer, Alex Vershinin, and many others have been saying. The fact that you’re utterly ignorant of what the expert opinion is on the matter says volumes though.

db0 OP ,
@db0@lemmy.dbzer0.com avatar

My peep, I don’t care that much. I don’t assign my self worth by deluding myself I can predict the outcome of a military conflict between two nation states with millions of people which I can’t influence whatsoever. But do go on believing you’re prescient as fuck. So long as you get to feel smugly superior, it’s all that matters. Peace.

I love how you just keep making personal attacks in lieu of having any actual point to make. Feel free to point out what I’ve said about the conflict that’s been wrong though. Peace.

The FT is actually a tad bit more reliable than more mainstream outlets like WaPo or the NYT. It’s targeted towards people in finance who want more matter of fact reporting and fewer opinion pieces.

True. As Tarfah who died in 569 said:

Days will show you what you were ignorant of.

And will bring you news someone you did not provide.

And will bring you news someone you did not sell to at all

and did not set a time for him.

The sanctions have contributed to a ball-bearing shortage in Russia, which has affected locomotive maintenance in the country. This has led to a rise in malfunctions on the network’s trains and an increase in the number of vehicles being suspended, Russian newspapers Vedomosti and Kommersant reported in February and March this year.

Sanctions work, just add time.

Take away Russia’s balls and everything falls apart.

yogthos ,
@yogthos@lemmy.ml avatar

Imagine genuinely believing that Russia is unable to produce ball-bearings on their own.

TranscendentalEmpire ,

Large roller bearings are actually pretty difficult to produce cheaply and reliably at large scales. I don’t really see this as being unbelievable considering 75% of all bearings used in rail are produced by 10 companies in Japan, the US, Germany, and Sweden.

Creating a production line completely in house and at a scale that would be sufficient to supply one of the largest rail networks in the world be a Herculean task for just about any country.

“Trust me bro, the entire Russian railway network is going to collapse in five days bro, for real this time bro”

sunzu , (edited )

The VChK-OGPU outlet, which is widely believed to have ties to Russian security agencies, reported Monday, citing an unnamed source, that the railway network's deputy head Sergei Kobzev told his subordinates at an internal meeting "that the situation is critical."

"The complete collapse of the entire railroad network in the country could happen in days," the channel said. "[Russian Railways] chiefs have been ordered to work to the point of exhaustion. Those who fail to cope are threatened with dismissal and 'execution.' This is the motivation."

Russia's Justice Ministry added VChK-OGPU to its "foreign agents" register earlier this month for "dissemination of false information aimed at creating a negative image of the Russian army."

Igor Sushko is a Ukrainian military blogger and the executive director of the Wind of Change Research Group. He shared what he alleged was a leaked audio clip of a meeting between Kobzev and his subordinates, in which he says that the "Russian rail network is on the precipice of total collapse."

Smells of propaganda but fuck Russia hopefully their rail system collapses though.

I’m like… surely they will just buy these from China now?

sunzu ,

I am sure china is increasing its capacity to do just that, market does not sleep.

aramis87 ,

Those who fail to cope are threatened with dismissal and 'execution.'

Sounds like motivation for the rail chiefs and their families to hop a train out of the country.

IphtashuFitz ,

Sounds to me like North Korean style “encouragement“.
