Putin can’t offer Xi anything that China relies on from the US since Russia isn’t a value-added economy.

Russia extracts raw materials and sells them on the market, and is already leveraged with pipelines to supply some of China’s insatiable demand for oil/NG, but not aerospace systems, precursor chemicals for plastics, machinery, agriculture, soy, grains, resins, synthetics, pharmaceuticals, waste & scrap, Navigational/measuring/medical/control instruments, etc.

Imagine China’s airline industry without the US, or their food, medical, electronics, transportation, manufacturing, etc. Russia is in no place to fill the demand on any of these multi-billion dollar industries.

Russia is extremely poor and backwards in modern technology advances, and lacks the infrastructure to make any of this stuff.

Russia slashes airline engine production as domestic airliner production flounders



The US has China by the scrot and there isn’t anything they can do about it. Just the rules of the road.

yea,Russians can't build shit. the T-34 was no good at all against the German tanks of 41-43. AK is a POS that only been in use for pushing 80 years,Makarov misfired 1/2 the time,mig 15 never matched the f 86. bull shit. we and the Germans had better trained tank crew,grunts and pilots. that was the winning factor. the Germans were hugely successful at 1st but got so over extended that they had no chance to win,prob after Smolensk '41. we did feed the Russians enough to win like FDR wanted.
i keep harping on your blather. but WHY should we be involved at all in Ukraine,Caucasus or eastern Europe. you always carry on like a neocon that thinks we can,should or could control everything everywhere. protect our shinning allies and throw as many bodies into the mix as needed. seems like you believe that our MIC deserves whatever sacrifice needed to keep them fat and happy. you present a lot of facts mixed in with a lot of questionable conclusions. looks like you think pissing away trillions on foreign adventures is more important than rebuilding infrastructure here; places like Maui,NoCarolina,LA,FL. i mean,after all,keeping Z and his crew rich and powerful is what really matters.
hate to think it but it starts to look like Trump is out of his depth re foreign policy. does he want to continue to goad Russia or does he want to normalize relations? either way this mineral deal is a delusional pipe dream. he might be on to something with the tariffs. if we have China by the balls,we'll see if they keep creeping farther into the Pacific. that might be a big deal.

Richard seems like he doubts my info about @koshkin and ZCO’s relationship, and maybe doubts Koshkin’s FOV discrepancy claim? Not sure.

Some subsequent posts of mine are providing some evidence to the contrary. He must’ve mentioned it in a video, which is harder to find, obviously.



Sigh.

Can you guys tell me why, exactly, you are mad at a guy who suggests the OP buy a ZCO?

Click to expand...

You have zero, 0, absolutely no info of a personal knowledge. Just what someone else posted on the WWW interwebs. That is a fact. But you pass it along like gospel.
Again: Jesus Christ didn't make everyone happy.
Not a bit mad. You are playing a two faced game. And you know it.
Go ahead and say some bullshit that you are just passing along a one off something. That's exactly what it is. A one off. It's nothing you have first hand knowledge of. Just some bullshit you read on the www. A one in ten thousand reviews.

I went back and looked after @mendozuh mentioned it and you are correct. I missed that at first. Really, there should at least be an option drop down to buy the additional mount if they are that modular.

Alright, this has become borderline insanity.
All I was trying to do was decide on a finish
for an old end table I'm working on, and my
brain saw this so I have to use it.
It's y'all's fault.

Any poi shift or accuracy issues, I saw a couple negative reviews/experiences on rokslide with those types of issues. Seems perfect for my needs (6gt being the largest I plan on shooting suppressed for now)

POI shift is normal in suppressors.

And as mentioned you would be smart to get a .30 can unless you got money to burn as it will be very versatile and used on what you have and .30 as well. If you just want to buy more cans then that’s cool too. I bought three this year already. lol Take a look at the Dead Air Nomad Ti XC. Will do everything you want and you can change the end cap if you want to .223 but really not needed.

It is reported that some had video, but we were unable to confirm as of this report.

And you act like you’re being an advocate for the original poster, he’s bought his ZCO and dealt with be directly long ago.

I’m driving right now, but don’t put words in my mouth. I have a good relationship with Elia and anything like that. I can discuss with him personally, but that is scummy as hell as making things up.

Bumpski, price drop

I absolutely do this…

I'd love to share this serial number list, and other serial number lists, but at this time I can't. However, in time all of this information and more will be released.

Just sanity check me then on the ones I pulled from old CMP listings:

Serials are separated into major serial prefixes (S652, S653, S654, S655) and then broke down by last 4 (e.g 84xx separated from 86xx but all within prefix S652 range). 31 rifles have been listed (that I found). 28 listed as XM-3, 3 listed as XM3, most recent not listed as XM3 at all).
