I haven't talked to anyone on the right that supports Russia invading Ukraine. They might not trust the media, and think they are being lied to. They might think corrupt politicians were egging this on. It's almost impossible to be on the right and not support the self determination of Ukraine.
The left has no moral foundation except power. |

There's a decent following of the Russian orthodox church in the US, and normally they've been great, but everything has changed in the past few years with some in the church as Putin has been getting involved with firing/jailing/etc pastors and priests who don't conform to what he wants. |

View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Originally Posted By PurpleOtter: Kyiv, Ukraine In a move hailed by pro-Western Ukrainians, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy unplugged three television networks overnight that he said spread Kremlin-funded "propaganda" and served as a bullhorn of an increasingly popular pro-Moscow party. But his ex-Soviet nation of 43 million is polarised linguistically and politically, and the move may prove risky for the political fortunes of Zelenskyy, a former star comedian who hails from a Russian-speaking family. Millions in Ukraine's east and south are Russian speakers without necessarily being pro-Kremlin and their votes propelled Zelenskyy to the presidency against all political odds. Zelenskyy was elected in 2019 with 73 percent of the vote, a staggering figure for a rookie politician whose only experience in the halls of power was the role of an accidental president in a popular TV series. But recent polls show that Zelenskyy's approval ratings have fallen well below 40 percent, reflecting the public's growing dissatisfaction with his inconclusive policies and constant cabinet changes. One of the fiercest Kremlin foes and most successful reformers in the former Soviet Union applauded Zelenskyy's move to close down the 112, NewsOne and ZIK news channels on Tuesday. "He surprised everyone who said he was not capable of decisive steps, and he made the step none of his predecessors had been able to take in the past decades," Mikheil Saakashvili, who served as fellow ex-Soviet nation Georgia's president from 2004-2013 only to be expelled and end up as Zelensky's adviser on reforms, wrote on Facebook. |

IMO, if its WW3 time, and I hope it's not, but if it is, it's not something we can just skip by appeasing tyrants or whatever. It's one of those times that comes around every so often in history where a bunch of innocent people are going to die of warfare again, because humans love that stuff, even though they don't like to admit it.

After Johnson in his speech levelled Ukrainians having an instinct “to choose freedom” with the 2016 vote in the UK to leave the EU as a “recent example”, politicians in both UK and Europe criticised the British PM...

Why do people think this is the other way around? Especially given the Russian attitude towards UA in general? |

NVA operations were meticulously planned and rehearsed, but they were very set piece. They were top down planned and not really good at adapting to change unless they had preplanned contingencies. Eastern peasant armies, like Japan Norks, China and the NVA, as a rule excelled at defense and fieldcraft, but were pretty centralized. As were the Russians. Organizations that excel at decentralized decision making, such as the Germans, Israelis, USMC, SOF, and sometimes the Army; generally tankers, do it, but you have to teach it and conjure training events that encourage it and reward it. It’s not an accidental thing. Come to think of it, you could say armies are never decentralized and never empower subordinates unless they make a conscious choice to be that way. It never accidentally happens. |

A rarity. 1) Russia should not have invaded Ukraine. 2) Everything should be done to help Ukraine beat Russia without provoking Russia into war.

Originally Posted By CharlieR: Human nature. Experienced tankers know the TC. Needs to have the head out of the turret. Situational awareness is incredibly important and especially against dismounts being blind is a bad state of being. In urban terrain at close range tanks button up and without dismounted infantry helping out seeing and talking, everything slows down. The other piece is psychological. If you are the lead tank and you know you’ll be the first to get hit? The urge is to creep along and try and see them first. Just makes you a better target. Smart leaders have their lead 2-3 vehicles leapfrog; psychologically you can convince yourself your chances of getting hit are now 33% or 50% not 100% and the outfit moves forward. But when you tell the lead tank: we will advance until you get shot at then a poorly trained crew or one that knows they’re outmatched by javelins will creep. Under those situations the dismounts should get out and start screening forward, maybe with artillery or rotary wing on call; but none of that is happening. The lack of good leadership and training can be overcome, but that takes talent, time, and low casualty rates so your leaders can survive and learn and not die. It seems the Ukrainians are taking advantage of that. View Quote Thank you for posting this. That is something that was easy to see from early on. There are endless data points that one could use to analyze the poor performance of the Russian military. You guys talk about the mentality going back to WWII, the mud, or corruption, etc, but it could just as easily be as simple as lack of intellect. A lack of cohesion. It really shows that it all boils down to the intelligence (a loaded word) of those operating the equipment. You cannot simply stuff bodies into uniforms, call them soldiers, let them take millions of dollars worth of equipment into a war, and expect them to know what they are doing. You could do that in trench warfare probably, but not today. And since it is war, there are no re-dos. Never mind the fact that the equipment your boss gave you is now sitting captured and destroyed in a foreign land. Which is a problem of great magnitude by itself. All I could think about when I saw those AA vehicles abandoned was, man, did the guys that abandoned those even realize their strategic value, intel value, or worth? Probably not. Probably just some young, and dumb, conscript with a short attention span. All the years of confidential work to build a state of the art AA system, and to keep it confidential, down the drain because some dude went to take a piss and got captured. As you said, the situation does not permit them to learn from mistakes. Crazy to think about how something that simple could be the culprit behind their incompetence. It is like a flowchart, a concept map, everything they do should be connected together, in harmony, except none of them can actually think in that way because they were probably never taught to do so. |

Can someone give me a quick summary on wtf is going on? The Democrat-controlled government says Russia is the bad guy so Biden Derangement Syndrome makes them deduce that Russia is the good guy. You can still know Dems are garbage and hate Russia….even if they also don’t like them. People act like they will short circuit. If a Dem enjoyed an orgasm half the people on this site would cut their dicks off. I think its a little deeper then just going the opposite of the dems. There is no credibility or trust in our leaders and government so people are rightfully skeptical of anything they do and what purpose they are opposing Russia for. I'm skeptical. Anything this administration does or says regarding Ukraine is not done for the right reason and they likely have an agenda behind it which is not in our interests. That said it should still be very obvious Putin and Russia is a bad guy as well, you're correct it definitely doesn't have to be either or. |
