Russia have no resources to start a war, today's Russia is not the CCCP who was a superpower.

Most wars start because of the resources.

But OK, let's go back to the tractors, until we're not closed.

Tractors from the old USSR was not very popular in Western Europe, Belarus and Kirovets. East Europe brands like Zetor and Ursus was much more common.

If NATO backs Ukraine he can have as many he likes, all the Russian friends of Putin have almost all theyr money invested in the west, poff, all that are gone, the Russian people are not isolated as in the old days and I'm not sure Putin is so popular, usually it's a big difference between propaganda and real life. A invasion gone wrong will probably end the regime.

And that’s the $64,000 question. WILL NATO back Ukraine?

Well, Those Kharkiv tractors don't appear to be cute small "special purpose " tractors!

Are they building for the domestic market?

No sense in trying to compete with the Italians, and their Lamborghinis (SL&H) ;-)

Belarus were imported here for a while about 30 years ago. A lot of people liked them because their simple designs made them easier to work on.

Then you have this Belarus, not Ukraine but it's USSR history

This line of large Zetors/Ursus was quite popular, very modern when they came out, now we are in Warzava pact area.
