Ukraine

[ElNono]

Leftist ideology crumbling in the face of reality.

There's no second amendment in Ukraine, and they're fighting for their government and to keep their democracy, not against it.

Trump s should take notes.

You aren't buying russian resources and they won't last long. Just need to convince EU to off Russia. These corrupted skunks doesn't want to have any economical consequences for their countries. It's same as in 38 when Hitler was invanding Czechoslovakia and they swallowed the pill. And what has come then

Their GDP has shrunk 30% over the past 10 years, and it's about less than half than the German GDP. The real economic dent is going to come from Europe though.

But, IMO, this is more about Putin trying to write his own legacy than anything else. He's been a dictator in power for 23 years, and has nothing to show for it.

Nobody said they had a second amendment.

This, and he is offended by western countries not taken him into their logde, not taking him seriously

What ARE you saying?

Spit it out.

I expect Biden to shut this down like he shutdown the virus.

Chicken nathan scared of honesty, among other things.

Why is the truth so terrifying to libertarians and fascists?

Are you in favor of this invasion by Putin, Nathan?

There is also a theory floating around that he has some COVID induced paranoia. More than one leader has noted that Putin's personality has shifted a bit recently.

Could just be isolation and information bubbles, but... one has to wonder.

Leftist ideology crumbling in the face of reality.

No one on the left ever said the second amendment was just about hunting. That is another lie you believe to be true.

The guiding principle of conservatism and libertarianism is dishonesty. both groups are incapable of having honest discussions.

150,000 troops cannot effectively control a hostile population of 44,000,000

Russia struggled with Chechnya, and there are only about 1,600,000 of them.

The number of people who will fight will go up with every indiscriminate bomb or s that kills civilians. That is a fact of insurgencies.

They will last a lot longer than many think for this reason. If you think that is not true, then you have not been paying attention to Iraq and Afghanistan for 20 years, and vietnam before that.

Do tell what kind of precision you are accustomed to.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Precision-guided_munition

Russian precision weapons tend to be laser guided dumb bombs, as opposed to GPS guided missiles. Better than nothing, but not the kind of surgical thing we see when our own military uses such weapons.

90's tech, as opposed to 2010's tech. It's cheaper, and easier to make/use.

Hope that helps.

And yet in every decade including this one, regardless what precision tech you use, you have to officially apologize for bombing civilians, allies, not to mention the number of friendly fire incidents you have internally... Such amazing tech, everyone else can only dream of such precision

Probably the best site to get solid information on how the war is going:

Debka

Russian forces closed in on the Ukraine capital from four directions amid heavy air and missile bombardment. Residents dived for shelter, maintaining that the bombardment was the heaviest they had seen since Nazi Germany’s assault on their town in 1941. Western military sources expect Kyiv to fall to the Russian army before the end of Friday, setting the scene for regime changeover.

Those sources estimate that Russian forces sustained around 450 deaths on Thursday, the first day of the invasion.

It's true though. Russia is a paper tiger.

Putin specifically warned Biden personally to stand down and not intervene, nor interfere. Biden has obeyed to this point. Is he a snortin' by having Putin threaten his very existence, our existence? I imagine he is fit to be tied.

Still the biggest threat to the US not named China and can still send you back to the stone age with the push of a button. Which is why Brandon's gonna sit tight and watch them stroll through Ukraine.

GD rights, DS. & he'd damn well better not intervene. He's-been-warned!

Well, for Putin and Russians NATO missiles close to Russian border is the biggest nightmare. You see, russians speak about America every day. They believe in things like Merkel and Macron are american henchmen. And more and more. And Ukraine is like Russian territory which USA has stolen from them. So Russians do believe that if they won't return the Ukraine, the US would soon attack them.

Putin is a cold war product, former KGB agent. So American weapons on former USSR territory is pretty much personal. It's as paranoid as US was about communists, even worse. Their world is still bipolar, so they aren't at war with ukrainians really. They truly believe they are fighting against USA

"Mazel, mazel, good things."

But as deeply true as you are in this correct assessment, On, you'll play getting our state run media CNN, and even FOX to state this bitter truth (lone exception being "former KGB agent") in this country. You will grow old, gray, and you will die before that ever happens, but like I said we got the KGB part down pat.

those guys never stood a chance. But that they wouldn’t just lay down their arms is reflective of their resolve.

im all for less military spending

Their resolve got them.killed
