Yeah lets ignore the low level civil war the EU nd US have been in since 2020 with Covid lockdowns and government assaults on our liberties well before Putin saw his chance.
You think this is
new? We had left-wing terrorist groups running
terror bombing campaigns on US soil at the peak of the Cold War, while the entire Democratic Party and major cultural institutions like Hollywood simped for the fucking Soviets.
And they
still lost. You do the math.
If you think western oligarch rule sucks, you don't want to see eastern oligarch rule up close.
This. 95% of the stupidity seems to stem from "well, this side bad, so other side good, right?" No. No, not one fucking bit.
Russia posts about a captured ATGM, or has like two guys out in a field with one, obviously they must have captured loads of them, because of course it's totally impossible to have a handful of guys stand around in a field for a minute in order to lie about having captured tons and tons of enemy weapons, a handful of soldiers and one missile is a huge investment that couldn't be faked. You continue to believe this despite these alleged training videos showing up for weeks, but footage of captured weapons actually being used hasn't surfaced.
Can you explain this odd disparity of trust and differing standards here?
Hey
@Chiron I'd like an answer to this too.
US actively targeted civilians in the GWOT
Ah yes, we blew up a wedding once upon a time so that's totally the same as systematically targeting hospitals, laying waste to entire suburban neighborhoods with sustained area bombardment with MLRS and using incendiary weapons - not white phosphorus, but outright thermite incendiaries, on suburbs.
Hey check this shit out. It's called
a DIME bomb; Dense Inert Metal Explosive. Basically it's a bomb that uses tungsten dust as its shrapnel - it vaporizes anything within 15 feet or so, but as the air resistance slows down the tiny tungsten particles very fast, anything 17 feet away survives unscathed. Or how about that
fabled Hellfire missile with pop-out sword blades? Specifically so you can take out some bastard in the left-hand seat without hurting the guy on the right. But yeah, go on and tell me about how America makes mass-murder of civilians a fucking
doctrinal norm.
they are fighting this with technology, not manpower,
Which is a dogshit plan given that you need manpower to take cities, even with all the technology in the world on your side, and since Russian logistics are rail dependent they
have to take cities since they control crucial rail yard junctions. Chernihiv and Konotop being two key ones they never took, which effectively cost them the battle of Kyiv. And if they want to work
around the problem that means running supply convoys around the major road junctions in those cities on shitty, narrow surface roads that provide great cover for ambushes. And the fact that Ukraine was going to use such strategies isn't a shock, the US has been
openly training the Baltic states to use unconventional/asymmetric warfare strategies against a potential Russian invasion for years now. So their inability to even provide a single IFV's worth of convoy escort at the beginning speaks to fucking
stupidity. And even after they wised up, you know what you simply cannot do without when it comes to securing long supply routes? Local control and
local patrols. And that equals
manpower.
and are winning given the destruction of most of Ukraine weapons and supplies. The US wouldn't be wrangling 50 year old Soviet gear in mothballs for them otherwise.
What the fuck are you babbling about? Of
course they would. Ukraine started this war with less of every kind of equipment than Russia did, so even if they had not lost a single tank NATO would still want to get them as many weapons as possible. Even if they started with
more, NATO would still want to do that because the sooner the war ends and the more damage inflicted on the Russian army the better it is for NATO. This is a
full scale war, you fucking numpty. You don't take half-measures, you don't fuck around, you go all in, balls deep.
Capiche?
I take it you forgot about our shitty exit from Afghanistan and endless world wide commitments to maintain the US global order.
"MUH AFGHANISTAN!" cries the vatnik as he wishes away eleven carrier battle groups and the most powerful airforce on the planet. "MUUUH AFGHANISTAAAAAAAAAAAAN!"
Only if you believe Ukrainian and US propaganda.
Coming from someone licking Putin's taint that's not very convincing.
Excuse me, but what the fuck is this standard for "high operational tempo"?
The Syrian Arab Airforce? Perhaps Eritrean or Ethiopian?
For comparison, one typical US supercarrier, you know, a big tin can cramped with lots of aircraft bouncing on the sea, can generate about 100 sorties per day, and up to 200 with accelerated, wartime procedures, while the new Ford class can to get up to 270 for a short time.
Meanwhile, the Russian airforce, operating from comfortable airbases on land, struggles to equal even 2 of these.
For comparison, the coalition forces in Desert Storm had an average of around 2500 sorties per day during the 43 day campaign. That's why this mess is being called dollar store Desert Storm.
lmao
this
It's called being able to read a fucking book, zoomer. I know something of computer networking, oil extraction, military matters, political science and economics myself. I even know something about nutrition and diet because I lift. You don't have to be a fucking expert to call out clowns making shit up as they go along.
No they just want to erase all countries in the world slowly for their global empire while they peddle pornography, tell us pedos and zoophiles are normals and that misandry is ok.
In term of priority ranking, "resisting the pedo globalists" is less pressing than "survive and defeat the nation literally invading your sovereign soil in order to systematically destroy your state and genocide your people." Best part is, nation that has done the latter will have a much stronger sense of identity and thus ability to resist the former.
