Sure, that's already happening even with the dual use supplies. But it will make the supplychain more complicated and less steady and it will give us more clout on the countries reselling to them(China doesn't want lose access to the west, it's more about Central Asia). It will also make it cost more, but that's of no concern to these people.

But the high officials and oligarchs don't want to drink vodka for commoners, they want wine, cognac & whisky from the west.

We really should sanction exporting alcohol to ruskys, if only to save ourselves from Dima's delirium maddness.

JD Vance spreads HIV

~rumours.~

If he does I would like the Secret Service let her punch him back just to see his orange surprised pikachu face.

Was it really extinguished, or did it just burn through all the fuel?

So unable to accept being proven wrong you descended into elementary school level ad hominem attacks, pathetic.

You:

The T-34 is a direct design descendant

vs

The article you link:

The T-18 and its derivatives were essentially unsuccessful designs, ..., and in the meantime a number of foreign tank designs were available for production.

You were simply wrong.

WDYM? English Wikipedia article on T-34 also mentions origin from Christie's designs.

That's wrong. T-34 was an evolution of the BT series tanks, which themselves evolved from designs of Walter J. Christie, whose licence Soviets bought in the beginning of 30's.

EDIT: And to be pedantic: Although it was directed from Moscow, the main tank plant was in todays Kharkiv, Ukraine - so it's more accurate to talk about Soviet tank program.

You lie, moskals have been observed to continue stealing, raping, killing and ethnic cleansing long after any hostilities ceased in many armed conflicts before. Their behaviour in Bucha and elsewhere proves they haven't changed one bit.

Yes. Yes, we did. And what are you going to do, khuylo yebanyy?
