The tech forums are still pretty good sources of info and fairly devoid of GD'isms, but GD itself has been a mixed bag of as you said support, but also trolls, memes, and general level dislike toward a variety of subjects and individuals.

I think what we're seeing now is simply the result of years and years of HYPER-POLARIZATION by both sides of the American political isle. It has become standard practice now for both sides to take contrarian positions for the simple sake of being contrarian. As a Conservative, it's been frustrating to see those on the right take up Russia's mantle simple to stand opposite of the ProRegressive. 10 years ago Romney correctly stating that Russia was our #1 geopolitical threat in the world. Obama and the left laughed at him off the stage. Here we are 10 years later and the left has willingly forgot about that moment in US history not to mention the shady dealings of Biden in Ukraine well before the war.

I have no doubt in my mind that if this war had happened under Trump, both sides of the isle would singing a different tune.. simply to be opposite of each other.

Ain't that the truth.

You know, call me old fashioned or naive, but this plays a big part in it for me as well even though I try to keep the focus on the geopolitical strategic significance of helping Ukraine oppose Russia and how it benefits us directly.

The US isn't perfect but through our history we've been a force for good, helping and defending the helpless, because we were forged from tyranny ourselves. It's what we do. The normal people are the ones that see an old couple in a car torn to shreds by autocannon fire or a father and son's last words in a drainage ditch as they bleed out next to their dead dogs, have their blood boil, and want to rain hellfire down on someone that would do something like that to innocents just trying to break free from a century of tyranny and live their lives. The fucking weirdos are the ones that sociopathically say, "Not my problem, Europe can deal with it." Sometimes good has to sack up and deal with evil, no matter the cost or what it takes. We're good and we have the power to back it up, ergo we do it. The minute we don't, we're no longer the good guy.

I'm sure the nitpicking paste eaters, if any of them had the sacks to poke their heads out in this thread, would sit and say something pedantic like "Do you want us involved in every conflict around the world trying to save everyone?" (insert SpongeBob retard meme). My response is, "If we had the means, I absolutely would love to see us eradicate evil where ever it resides around the world. If I could Thanos snap evil fucks all the way from Xi and Putin, down to the smallest Third World warlord selling sex slaves, from existence, you're goddamn right I would."

In all seriousness , Putin should get the same treatment as Admiral Yamamoto on his way to Bali. Shoot him down with an F22 with a Ukrainian Rondel on the tail. No one will ever know.

Is it me, or does the 2nd T-64 have New Mexico license plates?

The one Prime pictured, in the red media file hotlink.  My PANTSCON is very low and I'm severely undercaffeinated.  But still


Nah, took a screenshot. Flipped it inverted colors. Did a nearest neighbor interpolation and upscale. Then contrasted heavily.
Top of the license plate is a single word that has cyrillic letters in it ... I think. It's also underlined. New Mexico tags arent underlined
...
Shit I'll post it

Maybe the lower number represents destroyed tanks, and the larger number represents destroyed + UKR-captured?

Total loss to RUS = destroyed + captured/surrendered

2,400 destroyed stretches credibility. Depending on who you belief, Russian could only field 4K - 5K in a perfect world - and they probably don't have tank crews and mechanics for that. Some of those are in far flung republics, and they can't leave the entire east wide open for China to march in.

Sure they can.  Russian defense policy in the east long since gave up the thought of going toe-to-toe with China conventionally and just went to nuclear deterrence.  Russia has also completely (and verifiably) stripped all conventional forces from western borders they claim to fear invasion from (i.e. Finland) thus proving their invasion fears are a lie.

Count me in as another conservative who is a staunch supporter of Ukraine's right to self-defense.  I don't get the Putin sympathies on the right.  Nor do I understand why people are so quick to brand someone's support for Ukraine and agreement with providing weapons and resources as some embrace of liberal policies and approval of Biden.  Not everything is black and white.  Not ever act a Democrat or Republican admin takes is right or wrong.  Some things we all should be able to agree upon and preventing Russia from gross land grabs premised on fictions and carried out through human rights violations seems worthwhile all around.  I get that there are complexities to UK's past and this admin, questions about corruption, etc., but at the end of the day, none of that seems to change the base assessment that supporting UK is both morally sound and sensible from a geopolitical standpoint.  

Anyway, all of this is to say, I hear your frustration.  You are not alone.



I don't think it is a hatred of Ukraine, I wish them all the best and they should be able to buy all the arms on the US market or foreign market they want.  

I know most of the people in my circles (retired military, IC, defense, etc) have a desire to not get involved in foreign entanglements under the leadership of those who have time and time again proved they will make the wrong choice.   We have seen the consequences of following the orders of the "grown ups" being advised by the IC as we spent a large portion of our adult life overseas fighting these countries wars for what?  More debt?  A lot of good men dead for no reason? The US in worse a strategic position than when we started?  


Also I think I find it annoying that anything not 100 percent inline with the narrative on Ukraine is automatically dismissed as Russian propaganda, it has become the I stand with Ukraine crowds version of racism.   Like it or not both sides in this conflict are putting out a lot of propaganda.

I see a lot I/O-propaganda posted here.  But it’s not only Russian I/O-propaganda.    

Since I see a lot of the stuff on the high side I avoid posting things about dispositions, total numbers, intention, effects, etc, etc that may inadvertently reveal something that should not be revealed.

Understandable, and it is pretty clear that Ukrainian IO is better than Russia's. I understand why you can't call it out. I think the difference is you apparently need to have a clearance to know for sure if some Ukrainian IO is in fact IO, meanwhile we have guys posting stuff from ZH and RT and websites from the buttcrack of the internet with St George ribbons on them that ANYONE should be able to spot as Russian IO.

Ahh, I had heard the rumors earlier, so this could get interesting.  Thanks for the catch.


A lot of the GD smooth brains who think Russia isn’t going to crumble under their own internal pressures are pretty special.

When Russia is pushed out of Ukraine there is no “regrouping”. They (or their current strongmen) collapse.

Great find and an important development.
Also indicates what I said a couple of times before; the west needs to get ahead of the Armenia situation.  The EU brokering a deal is a step in the right direction and a huge indication that the principal parties (Armenia/Azerbaijan/Turkey) no longer see Russia as the primary factor going forward.

I'm still laughing at the Idea Ukrainian cats are running around in tanks with out of state plates.

I also think this is hilarious.  Something about Ukrainian tanks going into the line against Russia, sportin' retro-cool US car plates.  Something very, very post-modern about that.  I was surprised no one on Twitter (that I could find) had pointed it out.

Somebody should run the plate and see if that things properly registered:

That is pretty much what rocket artillery looks like, and why you need mass for it to work.  

The MLRS mitigated that by loading the rockets with DPICM so the hundred of little bomblets per rocket made sure there were not gaps in the fall of the munition.

It would be a shame if the Belarus President's car exploded.

I'm sure there are two, maybe even three, people that would be sad.

He's shown every sign of wanting to stay well the fuck away from Vlad's war though... To the extent he can without getting some radioactive soup in his diet.

It explains though some of the impact marks I've seen in drone footage I had assumed where actually inaccurate artillery vs a single rocket barrage strike

More cultural than ideological. Socialism corrupts but that's true if nationalist or internationalist.

There aren't any nazis anymore, and that includes those who want to pretend to be nazis. Nazis were pretty specific.

Anyone wanting to denazify isn't talking strait.

Some of these guys just seem to hate everyone and everything, everything is a great big conspiracy and the whole world needs to burn down.  Imagine rooting for ISIS or something.

It does illustrate how hard it is to tell where you’re being shot from.  The UA guy flanked to within 10 yards of the guy’s hole.
Two more invaders down - may God have mercy on them.
