Quoted: I think we have invaded ALL of our neighbors... View Quote Let’s see: Canada? Yes, during the Revolution and War of 1812. Mexico? Yes, War with Mexico and more recently the Punitive Expedition with Pershing. USSR/Russia? (As viewed from Palin’s house) Yes, Polar Bear Expedition after WWI. Caribbean neighbors: Yes for Cuba, Haiti, Dominican Republic, Grenada Central America: Yes for Panama, Nicaragua. Okay, I’ll say plausible. We’ve invaded pretty much all our neighbors. |

Quoted: Shit I’ll admit it. I’m not dying for some Democrat politicians and blue haired liberal commie fucks to end up calling me a racist simply because of the color of my skin. That’s the way it always is in western countries. Conservative men go and die for their country and what’s left? Liberals. They destroy our names and call us terrible people then pray for communism. Well I’m done. Fuck em. I can move to Mexico or Brazil. Canada and Australia are prime examples of good nations completely taken over by liberal ideology and we’re no different. I’ll stay and fight the political fight and do what I can but when the bullets start flying I’m out. View Quote I think you're looking at this wrong. Perhaps we just need to make sure the bullets are flying in the right direction. I'm not sure what "fight" it is that you say you'll be out of when you make your "escape" to Mexico, Brazil, etc. Home is worth fighting for, but if you're talking about getting sent off to some foreign conflict that is clearly a bunch of politicians' wet dreams, then I'd say you have a valid argument. But I'm not running anywhere. Mexico?...Brazil?...what's the old saying?..."you can run but you'll only die tired." I'm not going to some third world shithole. I don't have a death wish, but I'd rather fight the enemy in my own shithole with the hope of killing my enemies foreign and domestic. Those democrats and liberals you mention do indeed need to be removed. If it doesn't get done in the next 2/4 year election cycles in a massive way, then the political process is pretty much over. They're not running me out of here. |

Quoted: And the gov of the country we live in is just as corrupt View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted: Quoted: This is no wolf attacking sheep. Both sides are corrupt to the core. Not saying this fast justifies the invasion, but don't think Ukraine is little miss muffet. And the gov of the country we live in is just as corrupt Politicians start wars, people suffer from them Maybe neither GOVERNMENT is innocent. But the Ukrainian people are pretty innocent. So in that case these are wolves attacking sheep. But the sheep are fighting back. |

View Quote Probably artillery firing anti-armor submunition dispensing shells. Light armor gets shredded by that sort of thing. Even just normal air bursting HE can probably punch big enough holes in a BTR to matter. Or they had just dismounted and got shredded in the open. In any case, that's probably a motor rifle company or more worth the VDF wiped out. Russia can win this thing via attrition, but Christ almighty, someone ought to tell them this isn't 1944 and lend lease isn't going to kick in to give them new trucks. At this rate I'm starting to think Ukraine might just end up pushing the fuckers back into Russia and then keep going. |

Quoted: I kind of figured Ukraine would get rolled over like Georgia, Crimea etc. not turn into a bunch of never held a gun euro type citi dwellers rushing to get AKs. I heard the tale end of a NPR interview with a man who said he was enlisting, even though originally he was from western Ukraine and his wife and kids were saying they should all flee back to their home town. He said he never imagined being involved in warfare but he was going to fight where he was. Next interview was with some woman who was referred to as a "human rights activist" she was complaining that she couldn't flee the country fast enough. Apparently fighting for human rights doesn't actually involve fighting for human rights View Quote NPR will probably praise the armed civilian defense of Ukraine and in the same breath complain that no civilian needs an AR-15 |

Quoted: Being pro-ukraine, anti-invasion is seeking a diplomatic solution (i.e. agreeing to stop Eastward expansion of NATO). As has already been said, Ukraine is indefensible from a conventional invasion. I see a lot of Pro-Establishment types in this thread that want a lot of unnecessary death and destruction of Ukraine. The type that are responding hook, line, and sinker to Jen Psaki's establishment line and Biden's Wag the Dog. You can try to dress that pig up with lipstick, but at the end of the day Ukraine is lost, lots of people are needlessly dead. The Establishment's Cold War 2.0 is well underway, and Perpetual Tyranny in America is at hand: Perpetual Tyranny: Endless Wars Are the Enemy of Freedom Again, if you want to help Ukraine, sign a deal. If you want to actually hurt Putin, reduce the price of oil & gas. At under $20/barrel Russia's economy and large scale war-making ability would implode. No fighting necessary. View Quote |

Quoted: Since 2014, the United States has provided over $2.5 billion in military aid to Ukraine, following the Russian annexation of Crimea and invasion of the Donbass. U.S. assistance to Ukraine has included the provision of trainers, selected defensive systems (such as counter-mortar radars), and more recently, Javelin anti-tank missiles.

I can understand OPs post, How the heck does Russian armor get to the door step of Kiev in just 1.5 days?! That blew my mind.
That didn't age well, I am kind of thinking that Russia is getting beaten with a rod. The only thing that makes me think otherwise is the fact that Russia has posted no propaganda about winning. I thought they would be showing dead Ukrainian soldiers all over the place, burned up vehicles and carnage they left behind. Their Army groups in the North and South seemed to have mauled any opposition, but the eastern group has stalled. Wouldn't Russia try to show that they are dominating the fight? There has been almost ZERO propaganda that I have seen that shows any type of Russian success. Key tactical victories thus far for Russia: 1. Getting to Kiev in 1.5 days, that was insane. 2. Securing water for Crimea, everyone knew this was going to be top target, Ukraine unable to slow or stop this. Took them less then 2 days. 3. They are about to secure the land bridge from Crimea to separatist region, land area roughly 200 miles long, in about what, 5 days? These are fast and major tactical objectives the Russians wanted to achieve, taking Kiev may take weeks, but Russians are stalling in the east. From the anti-Russian propaganda that I have seen, it looks like they are getting curb stomped! I don't know what to believe. I just pray it does not go Nuclear. |

Quoted: This has put a lot of (low-intelligence) people in a difficult spot. Biden said Putin was going to invade Ukraine and that it would be a bad thing if he did. To a lot of GD, the fact that Biden said it meant two things: Russia wasn't really going to invade, and even if they did it must be a good thing. So now they're wrestling with the reality that Russia DID invade, which made Biden's prediction about that part correct. (And blows up the theory that it was all just a fake crisis to distract from Canada and trucks and the c-word). But Biden also said an invasion would be bad, so they're grasping at anything that reinforces the idea that Ukraine deserved it, because that could still make Biden wrong. Being so blinded by hate for one enemy that you can't honestly evaluate the actions of another is a major weakness, which we seem to have a lot of right now.

Quoted: I have a feeling that your boy, Putin, is going to end up taking it in the pooper over this fuckup. There is little to no win here for him. All of this for what, some farmland? Maybe some ore? He's fucked himself with this mess. He'll be stuck in Ukraine spending money and lives, or he won't hold the country long enough for any of this to be worth it. Long term outlook not so good... View Quote Far more than that. I could see the farm land as an insurance policy to feed Russia if the predictions on food shortages comes true. This pairs nicely with Russia's position as the top exporter of fertilizer products. Russia was already facing a water shortage in Crimea thanks to Ukraine blocking canals that typically supply the region with water. If Russia lost the ability to transport water in to the area, they would lose the Black Sea Fleet home ports, their only warm water port, and access to the Med would be crippled leaving their bases in Syria to wither on the vine. Getting booted out of SWIFT long term might be better for Russia and quite painful for us. China and Russia has been working for almost a decade on breaking the petro dollar. If China moves with Russia, and they have good reasons to do so to prop their most important ally up, the two could spark major financial issues if those countries, and their client states dump the dollar for the new Chinese/Russian system. Watching how China plays this will tell a lot about our next five years. Also remember Klaus Schwab said Putin was a member of the leadership program of the WEF. If true Putin has ties to an organization that has the sway to make things happen in the financial world. Also remember if Russia is out of SWIFT they cant repay loans to other nations, effectively wiping their debt while leaving the lenders with a black hole in their finances they need to bandage over. Maybe this is another snowball that starts the next global market crash. Ukraine is also more than gas lines. Lots of people have not noticed that Russia has not built a large surface combatant larger than a large corvette since the collapse of the USSR. A few years ago they lost their largest naval dry dock in the Kuznetsov accident. Ukrainian ports used to build to large number of their large naval vessels. Russia also lost the factories that supplied large numbers of tank engines, jet engines, and other things needed for their military. Just so happens Russia has difficulty getting reliable engines into their new vehicles in sufficient numbers. There's more, but I could easily see why Russia will take a hard line on this. |
