    Congratulations. You just told EVERY Ukrainian citizen and soldier that they MUST resist Russian aggression to their death. Good job ensuring that your losses will now be even higher Russia.

    If you believe the 'publicly' stated numbers on stocks. I'm SURE that our govt is honest about that kind of thing. Just like they were honest about how fast the SR71 was...

    :unsure: internal monologue, "Now, when should I declare my own moral and physical victory over all I survey?"

    @Bacle Oh, yeah, I get the links. Though I do forget how badly the press is 'filtered' for overseas consumption, in both directions.

    Man...that's stretching REALLY hard to find a way to link two things together.

    Were those numbers actually in US Dollars, or were those numbers in Rubles or some other currency?

    Let's be honest. War doesn't give a crap how new your tools-of-death are. IF they work, use them. If the DON'T work...you'll just lose.

    I'm pretty sure whoever is left at that point would bring Russian nukes against China.

    It's the 2nd part of that sentence that will likely prove false. Making the Russian psyche consciously accept that...may not be possible.

    I shall clarify my thought process... China has supported Russia (and the Nork's support of Russia) in order to get Russia to bleed more on the Western Front. I believe that Xi/CCP is waiting for Russia to start collapsing before they move into Eastern Russia for 'humanitarian' reasons.

    I'm pretty sure that's why China has enabled the Nork's sale of weaponry to Russia.

    not politics exactly, but this is apparently a thing...not me but someone else's statement: "Haha. An late christmas present my dad got for my brother just arrived.

    Completely legitimate target. Gathering of troops are legitimate targets. War sucks.

    If you can kill your enemy, do so. If you can kill them where they think themselves safe, do so. It will ruin their morale and fatigue them.
