Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By amanbearpig: Enlighten me on how Tucker Carlson is supposedly some Russian mouthpiece?  Extremely doubtful but many people here immediately paint over others with a wide brush. Thus when a reasonable person points out that not wanting the US to get pulled into defending Ukraine is a position one can have without being a Russian stooge they pile on with calling you a idiot/ stooge/ fool etc. We see this behavior all the time here on pretty much every issue. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By WildBill375: I don't think anyone believes the narrative that Ukraine, after all this time and with Russians on the border in mass are going to start hostilities. Got to be braindead to believe that stretch. I don't think Ukraine is going to decide to attack Russia, but I could easily see some local commander with an itchy trigger finger and a grudge to settle start shelling. To be honest he wouldn't have anything to lose, if everyone believes Russia is going to attack, and no matter what happens any "attack" on the Russian side would be immediately deemed a "false flag". *shrug* I don't really believe any thing either side says to be totally honest. I don't like Russia and don't trust them or Putin, but I don't have any particular reason to trust those giving the "Ukrainian side". No offense meant to you of course, BerettaGuy. |

Side note: Just gotta' say, you're the first person I've seen using that "pay-triotic" label and I find it amusing.

Pay-triotic fits many of them - think big box churches with pastors who makes tens of millions of dollars as an analogy. Look up any Alex Jones/Info Wars reports on Ukraine from 2014 (or around 2008-9 on Georgia) and you will see 100% Putin praising and Ukrainian-condemning news reports. Jones launched Watson and his current reports are the same, just like his other reports on Ukraine from years ago. There was information that Watson worked for RT News at one time but Jones uses RT News as gospel and worked very closely with them and some of their hosts, often interviewing them on his show and vice versa. Sure, all of the sites I mentioned have information I agree with on the 2A, natural medicine, free speech, etc. but some of these sites are either duped into thinking that Putin is some freedom loving Christian who is defending them against the New World Order (which is bullshit since Putin is a globalist) OR they are paid shills. Most of those sites are donor supported and it's very easy to get money funneled to them from the Kremlin - just ask Paul Manafort... |

Most US units don't want to carry them around. I went to Javelin training in 06. Consisted of a computer simulations and we had a live fire demonstration where 1 student was allowed to fire one at the tank range. They are designed so you can airburst on open vehicles or explode after penetration. Solid choice for any enemy armored vehicles. Ukraine has tanks as well. Many Russian tanks were destroyed in 2014 as well as Ukrainian t64's. |
