I don't know if I can take a technical seriously if it's built on a Land Cruiser frame. Seriously, if it's not a Hilux and there was actually some kind of engineering blueprint behind it's design, is it a real gun-truck, or just a professional military's pale imitation?

Ladies and gentlemen, the aristocrats United States House of Representatives! Y'know, I think the thing that really aggravates over all this independent of all and any argument over funding levels or priorities or anything else on the specifics of the topic of Ukraine, is that it's the final...

Counterpoint 1: Ukrainian aid in 2022 was notably diverted to corrupt ends--thus Zelensky's whole anti-corruption push and sacking of generals and officials through 2023 (besides the hope it would engender more aid). Counterpoint 2: Ukrainian aid isn't meant to win them the war, it's meant to...

Russian resiliency in the face of the last two years of losses/setbacks (some of them rather dramatic--the failure to take Kiev in the opening and all the fiasco around that, and Ukraine managing a successful-ish offensive in 2022 that got land back, not to even mention Wagner going rogue...

Oh those poor Ukrainian bastards. They've been saddled with something terrible: Western talking-heads. https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/msnbc-political-analyst-malcolm-nance-reveals-he-joined-fight-in-ukraine Apparently some yabo-commentator from MSNBC up and full-on enlisted in...

The Bucha allegations include a mass grave. And occupation forces throughout history quite commonly use public execution and display of bodies as a means of intimidating locals into compliance or out of guerilla activity.

The sperging overreactions of some US and (more-so thanks to their long-existing fuck-fucking with speech) European governments (and corporations) to Russia-sympathetic or Russia-simping stuff is silly, probably counterproductive, and in violation of a higher principle of speech and...

In fairness, it seems like the Russian high command invoked the Ghost of the memetic WWII American army as well--nobody knowing what they hell they were doing to such a degree that the enemy wouldn't be capable of knowing either. Thus them not informing officers of invasion plans until the...

Doing a search, two people in the thread seem to have vaguely defended 'Ghost of Kiev'--both by defending not the actual factual definite, inarguable existence, but the plausibility of a Flanker pilot downing helicopters/transport-planes or frogfoot ground-support craft in sufficient numbers to...

People criticize this without seeing the ingenious truth. Nobody is concerned about the Russian cloning capabilities three identical actors imply. Perhaps especially if it is focused upon the production of XX-chromosome possessing humans? Presuming there are no post-production kinks (hehe) in...

...US really had no role whatsoever in fomenting ethnic conflict or nationalism in the Balkans. That cat was thoroughly and completely out of the bag and running around the block impregnating strays since the Hapsburgs. American didn't have to do shit to foment Albanians. The impetus for the...

Nonsense. Russian military planners, in their Zap Brannigan-like genius, accounted for the accumulated corruption and ineptitude of the most plebian of Russian units by concentrating them into the area which would inspire the most fighting by the Ukrainian neo-nazis. Thus they capitalized upon...

Territorial defense securing critical food infrastructure near Kyiv. Or, for the even more meme-y caption: "Sergey, secure the burgertown!" ...I do feel bad for laughing at shit, but this war has produced a lot of just absolutely surreal stuff (not present in the above, but I continue to be...

It somewhat strains credulity to think the same western politicians who have been exceedingly friendly to the PRC over the last two decades would be intentionally waging a secret-war in Afghanistan for the purpose of harming the PRC via a method as roundabout as the denial of assets? ...For one...

Per wiki there's actually no Ticonderoga class of the US' in the Nato Maritime Response Group 1 anymore and a (very brief) bit of looking at the maritime tracking site doesn't have any other US ships popping out at me in the area (though there was a USNS Sisler in port in Norway...A ship whose...

This doesn't check out. After all, it's commonly-accepted conspiracy theory (read: fact) that birds are a psyop and really just government drones. The government would have no need to train drones, they would just order them to perform the desired action. (No clue how accurate the summary in the...

Banderites is probably the more accurate. Fascist acceptable colloquial, but that somewhat indelibly ties to the Nazis while they're more akin to the other various fascist groups of eastern Europe that sprung up historically and "only" supported the nazis (or ironically, Wagner group, or the...

If the problem gets solved, you can't start charities to rip off or get awarded nobel peace prizes for bringing attention to the problem. *stares bitchily at Al Gore and the one nordic-country girl they got to replace him when he got less photogenic*

In fairness, the case can be made with a good bit of justification that this is because America's leaders since the collapse of the Soviet Union have valued their own pocketbooks, reelection prospects, and/or ever-fleeting and fickle global opinion more than they have US security or sovereignty...

A whole lot of pretty heinous stuff has gone down in a lot of countries with SWIFT removal never being a thought. Larger issue is probably the lesson being demonstrated of how giving up nukes for promises of territorial integrity from three of the big boys on the security council is worth jack...
