West Taiwan getting real annoying lately.

What a brutal reference.

Don’t forget, jews have to own the entire holy land before the apocalypse comes and god sends them to hell, according to evangelical Christians.

The people voted!

Ironically enough, Republicans used footage of Russians stuffing ballots as evidence of democrats stuffing ballots.

Too fucking true. Describe any left leaning principle without using any buzzwords and they’ll agree all day.

Wait, did jeren flip? I know whitsit said it was evidence for the globe but didn’t concede his stance.

That means you’re buying mass produced shit from China, the brand means nothing, and you’ll have better luck on aliexpress.

IGN overrating games is like… Their whole thing. Dissing them because they said BF2042 was good when it wasn’t is like talking shit on the rain for making things wet.

“10/10 IGN” To describe shitty things has been a meme for over a decade, I think.

The missile is just more saber rattling until it actually does something. It’s kind of pointless to use it against Ukraine. They have plenty of other missiles that will reach, even a hypersonic one, though that hasn’t turned the tide much. And if they reach out and touch anyone else, it’ll spark retaliation and maybe even a broader conflict.

But I was specifically referring to vehicles, ammo, and tactics. Russia has been fielding truly ancient Soviet stock. T-90s are rare. I don’t know if they even have T-14s on the front anymore. They’re losing vehicles faster than they can make new ones. It’s not a huge issue because of the massive Soviet stock, but they’re still fielding inferior vehicles and depleting stockpiles.

Ammo-wise, they’ve leaned very heavily on north Korea for the past year at least. And as for tactics? Basically none. A huge portion of the soldiers are poorly trained, and basically sent forward in meat waves. Ukraine won’t try to hold indefensible locations, so it does work to push them back slowly.

Russia can’t really be considered a paper tiger here

Specifically, I mean in conventional warfare. Not nukes.

We’re about 3 years into a 3 day SMO. For all of the previously mentioned reasons, Russia could not go toe to toe with any other major power, especially elsewhere. Their logistics are suffering and the front line is next door. Getting counter-invaded was a massive embarrassment as well. Additionally, they lost the proxy war in Syria, either due to pulling resources or Ukrainian involvement with the rebels.

Ukraine is being demillitarized

I guess they’re trying, but at what cost and to what end? If the idea is that they’re afraid NATO is going to encircle and then invade them, they kind of overplayed their hand. Everyone now factually knows Russia is a paper tiger, and they’ve squandered a significant portion of their Soviet stockpiles and hundreds of thousands of killed and wounded for a few km of land. If NATO wanted to invade, they could get to Moscow in no time. I assume putin is keeping his best reserves near Moscow, but we’ve seen from the kursk offensive that russian capabilities behind the front lines are severely lacking.

Also the bit about reducing NATO military power… The US made bank selling HIMARS to Russia’s neighbors after seeing how effective they were. They’re stockpiling to protect against Russia.

The same, son of Dan “20 minutes of action” Turner.

Yeah he started going by his middle name after being convicted for raping a girl behind a dumpster.

If the war kicked off because of NATO encirclement, and there are now two more NATO members than before the war… What’s the end goal?

Of course. Can’t forget the propaganda as well.

One or two of ours have discovered how to turn on the heated blanket.

Did that get uncancelled by any chance?

Weren’t you saying you ML mfs don’t support authoritarianism like a week ago?

Silence, imperialist.

It is if I only get my news from it!

Tell her to sell the houses and toss the money in an index fund. Housing is a good investment because people treat it like one and cause scarcity.
