Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By realwar: UK military chief says 'Putin has already lost'  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yFsw4H8gMBE'Putin has already lost' says head of British Army: Admiral Sir Tony Radakin, the Chief of the Defence Staff, said that Russian President Vladimir Putin overestimated his military's power with his invasion of Ukraine, which has run into fierce Ukrainian resistance that has inflicted devastating losses on Moscow's armies. As long as the middle and upper echelons of their military establishment remain alive, Putin has not lost. Let the rabid dog retreat to lick its wounds and you end up having to deal with it once more. The heads of the hydra need severance. Only then will that society begin to join the rest of the world. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By HIPPO: Agree. Not to carry anyone’s water, but it could also be to bleed out the Russians and weaken pooty. Xiden's main goal is to get rid of Zelenskyy. Zelenskyy was looking into the Hunter corruption and some prosecutor officially named Xiden as a suspect. Xiden gives zero shits about the Ukrainian people, Putin or Russians. Xiden just cannot appear to sacrifice or sabotage Zelenskyy publicly. He will do the absolute minimum while warning other countries like Poland to stay out of it all while claiming they are doing all they can for Ukraine. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By realwar: British soldiers pack thousands of helmets and equipment for Ukrainian troops https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I7PSgfXdgE8My worry from watching this video is that in their zeal to provide helmets, while also complying with the bureaucrats and bean-counters requirements to "sanitize" them of British markings, they send only partially usable equipment. I hope they made a separate order for camo covers and suspension harness.  This might be an area that ARFCOM can help; if we have contacts inside Ukr, or we just start seeing people in Ukr with British helmets but no helmet covers or inadequate/missing suspensions, we could try to solve that for them. |

US is happy to let Russia keep Crimea. They are worried that if they provide too many weapons and too much technology, Ukraine will attempt to retake Crimea after the russians are removed from the rest of Ukraine. This will prolong, escalate, and intensify the war in the region. Further, I think the US and the rest of the world owe Ukraine this much: leave all the sanctions fully in place until Russia returns to the borders they agreed to in the Budapest memo. |

Just a tiny poison pill that makes the whole idea sound as absurd as it actually is. Ehhh.... I think the problem with that is that everything about marxism-leninism post-Lenin involved a complete lack of any sort of moral compass or integrity whatsoever. They went from "the means are justified by the ends" to "the means are justified because they are the ends". No piece of paper, handshake, promise, principle, or anything else would constrain those people - to a degree the world had never really seen before. Even back in the days when a people invariably named themselves "the people" in their own language and considered outsiders to not be human, they at least treated their own better. Not the Soviets - fuck everybody, they all get the big marxist weenie 24/7/365. I think it's now becoming clear to those old enough to remember the USSR, that too much of Russian society and government is still stuck in that state. And I don't think that the Russian culture/people/nation as we've recognized it the last couple of centuries is going to be given a second chance. This is starting to look like the opening push to secure the title of "All-time dickheads of humanity". Does anyone really think this is going to end without carving up Russia and making sure they only have their own pool to shit in? This doesn't mean I think there is a practical or safe way to get to that state - or that we should broadcast it as a goal - but I think that's just the way things are.

Yep, and fuck throwing those. lol It's like throwing the explosion equivalent of an 80mm mortar 15 yards. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cHvxddudkGELooks like they would be good in an urban setting to drop on a tank or a group of infantry? |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By RolandofGilead: Can someone confirm if this is true, and what it REALLY means? Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By RolandofGilead: Originally Posted By CS223: https://t.me/UkraineWarReport/1767 Russia Central Bank Announces Ruble Bound to Gold! 5000 Rubles per Gram The Central Bank of Russia has officially announced that, as of March 28, 2022, the Russian Ruble currency is BOUND to Gold. The rate is 5,000 Rubles per gram of gold bullion. If Rubles are bound to Gold at 5000 Rubles per gram, and there are 32 grams per TROY ounce, meaning one ounce of gold would cost 160,000 Rubles, then converting that to US Dollars means Gold is $1600 per ounce when using Rubles, instead of $1,928 per ounce using Dollars. Russia just wiped out about thirty percent (30%) of the value of the US Dollar, worldwide, when it comes to Gold Bullion. Worse, because Russia will only sell its oil and gas in Rubles, and Rubles are now fixed at 5,000 Rubles per gram, anyone wishing to buy Oil or Gas will need to either pay in Rubles or pay in Gold, and they won't get the US Dollar value for the gold they tender as payment! Can someone confirm if this is true, and what it REALLY means? It's propaganda as Russia doesn't have enough gold to adopt a gold standard. Further, Russia doesn't have the pull to set the price of gold worldwide. The western banksters do. |

It is described as having been captured by his people or someone aligned with them and brought to him. It shows him driving it around and how it only has a few miles on it. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Lieh-tzu: This question is up to Ukraine and Russia. Russia says they won't give it up, but their forces are so degraded Ukraine could take it if they were willing to pay the price in blood, equipment, and treasure. Further, I think the US and the rest of the world owe Ukraine this much: leave all the sanctions fully in place until Russia returns to the borders they agreed to in the Budapest memo.

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By THOT_Vaccine: We spent billions building russia back up from the low point of the ussr. Maybe they just need a clause in the constitution that says something like: "Anyone that wants to be President for Life, must pass a trial of Snu Snu and fuck 10,000 of the heaviest women in the country first." Just a tiny poison pill that makes the whole idea sound as absurd as it actually is. Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By THOT_Vaccine: Originally Posted By RolandofGilead: Originally Posted By Bassgasm: Originally Posted By RolandofGilead: Originally Posted By Lieh-tzu: Originally Posted By RolandofGilead: I'm on board with most of it. If you tell Russia "we're going to keep fucking you dry no matter WHAT you do" then there isn't much reason for them to stop the war is there? In fact, it's more reason for them to continue to fight- because they will NEED to win. They need a reason to believe their lives will be better if they stop fighting. The fighting ends, and the sanctions end, when Russia restores the borders it agreed to recognize in the Budapest memo. Until that happens, more Russians will die, more expensive Russian equipment will get destroyed. Yeah man, that's pretty much exactly what I'm saying. Telling them "do what we say....or don't...either way you're still getting the star spangled weenie" isn't a very effective technique to influence people. I'm not sure what the right balance is. Russia should face lasting enforced consequences for this invasion. Maybe not Treaty of Versailles level, but it should hurt. I'd also argue that every day this thing drags on, they should have an incentive to consider a way out. The bulk of their military is bouncing around in the input chute of a wood chipper, and with each passing day, they permanently lose more of it. I agree there should be a balance, I also don't know exactly what it is. I would argue though that the people advocating to be balls deep in Russia for ever are incapable of thinking more than maybe 15 minutes into the future and understanding 2nd and 3rd order effects of a decision like this. I'd argue the ultimate goal is to end hostilities and ensure Russia plays nice in the future. Fucking them hard for eternity doesn't do those things, it simply satisfies one's thirst for vengeance (which I understand). We spent billions building russia back up from the low point of the ussr. Maybe they just need a clause in the constitution that says something like: "Anyone that wants to be President for Life, must pass a trial of Snu Snu and fuck 10,000 of the heaviest women in the country first." Just a tiny poison pill that makes the whole idea sound as absurd as it actually is. Russia needs to have the hurt put on them for a long fucking time. The soviets traded their uniforms for business suits and it didn't make any difference Not an eternity but a good fifty years of sanctions should do the trick for those dumbasses. I'm sick of their bullshit and they need to be ended. |
