Former CIA Analyst Says Russia Surpasses the West in War Production
Ex-CIA analyst Larry Johnson claims Russia can produce all necessary weapons for modern warfare, giving it a major advantage over Ukraine and Western nations.
Speaking on his YouTube channel, former CIA analyst Larry Johnson stated that, unlike Western nations and Ukraine, Russia is capable of producing all the weaponry and materials necessary for modern warfare.
He noted that Russia has demonstrated full self-sufficiency in its defense industry, while neither Ukraine, nor Europe, nor the United States have shown the same ability. According to Johnson, this exposes the inability of the West to sustain a large-scale conflict.
Johnson argued that Moscow has entered a new phase of the conflict in Ukraine, during which Russian forces can now conduct operations along the entire front line. He added that the Russian army currently has more troops at the front than the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
He also recalled that Ukrainian commander-in-chief Aleksandr Syrsky had previously acknowledged Russia’s twofold advantage in manpower. Johnson concluded that Ukraine is now experiencing what he described as a state of terminal decline.
