I would assume, even with russian logistics, they'd get more combat suitable packs closer to the front (probably with parts of their previous owners). Do not attempt to equate what a western army does with the Orcs. We produce highly effective soldiers, they produce dudes in uniform. |

Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling with terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand?... The Organs would very quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and transport and, notwithstanding all of Stalin's thirst, the cursed machine would have ground to a halt! If...if...We didn't love freedom enough. And even more we had no awareness of the real situation.... We purely and simply deserved everything that happened afterward." Aleksandr I.

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By jungatheart: Originally Posted By anonimovaca: I think Putin ordered the attacks on the pipeline. He’s like a toddler when their parent takes away a toy as punishment. The toddler smashes the toy saying “I didn’t want the toy anyway!”. That’s why I believe people are asking the wrong questions “who stands to financially benefit from the damaged pipelines?” It’s not about money, it’s about Putin being a petty little baby. Putin is trying to show that he’s in control. Germany saying that it will not buy Russian gas, that put Germany in control of the situation. Russia emanating the pipeline says “WE are the ones that say you can’t have gas, NOT you”. Just saying that wouldn’t mean anything. How else will Russia prove that they will not turn the gas back on? The only way to prove that, is to damage the pipeline. Putin also is showing that he’s cutting ties with the EU for the long term. He’s willing to hurt the Russian economy as long as it also hurts the EU economy, it doesn’t matter if it hurts Russia more than the EU. As a bonus he gets to use it as propaganda “the whole world is against Russia, woe is me!”. The Russian public gets riled up. Putin can use it as justification for attacking infrastructure. It also creates additional chaos and uncertainty in the energy markets. And Russian people are going to fall for it, because “why would Putin blow up their own pipeline when they control whether the gas is on or off?” They don’t comprehend what a petty narcissist Putin is. Good post. Only critique I have is: "the whole world is against Russia, woe is me" I think Putin has quite a bit of paranoia so he believes the world isn't against Russia but, against Putin. Another possible angle I’ve not seen mentioned in this thread: A suicide pact. Theory: Putin ordered it to destroy the option of someone thinking they could bump him off and get back to business as usual. He’s cut that option off for other elites so as to limit their options for alliance against him. It does make a degree of sense. I saw this in another thread elsewhere, not my original idea. |

That does have a certain insane Russian internal logic to it. |

I didn’t fully understand who I was quoting. For reference, here’s a real Soviet-era sidor, which is hi-tech compared to that junk (genuine harness, compartments). Interestingly, this one is from a Ukrainian seller. https://www.ebay.com/itm/264086529335?hash=item3d7cc8a537:g:omIAAOSwxkFcElwz&amdata=enc%3AAQAHAAAAoGmkcUPPyXCSvC8GzOp5y%2FrtPIiWCW%2FLvkLiqunofwCtTosoS73k5xLibu6Kr5x63BJ6LZpr0BhoE3bYPsAi5xNlBKn3ToPzxa%2FxovZVf2Y%2BbRHsTu31e8n8Etab%2Bxq%2FgoH8aqydt6B1H341%2BzgGE7oe2IpWJsyLCMEaQCIhh2tdu79Tbsyk9g4LZG%2B6av5zCZSNwi%2FSmA0Fbay8vKTtZlE%3D%7Ctkp%3ABk9SR9zHjLDxYA  Attached File |

My gut says this is a big part. They’ve been told to damn the torpedoes and get on with it; things are that bad. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Charging_Handle: How many years did we have to suffer through all the bullshit from Russian fan boys talking about their beloved S300 and S400 systems as if they were unstoppable? HARM was useless against them they said, because the launching aircraft would be shot down by the magnificent S300 and S400 long before they could even get within range to fire a HARM. And should the unthinkable actually happen and a launch aircraft managed to get inside the S300 envelope, then the HARM would be blown out of the sky by the SHORAD systems protecting the S300/400. Funny how those guys have disappeared now that their unstoppable SAM systems are getting fucked up by early 1990s era AGM-88B HARM missiles and their supply depots and troop concentrations ravaged by HIMARS, which they also have zero capability to deal with. Russian systems and Russian operators aren't worth a cunt full of cow slobber. The only folks who can seem to get decent performance out of Russian air defense systems are the Ukrainians! That is likely because they are more intelligent and better capable to tweak and adapt to capitalize on the sgtrengths and minimize the weaknesses of these systems. I can't wait to see what kind of work they'll be able to do once they get their hands on NASAMS, Iris-T and eventually longer range systems such as Patriot or the Mamba/SAMP-T. The skies around Ukraine would likely look like the opening morning of bird season with all the shit falling out of the sky. It's funny how so many Z-Boys/Russia Bros/etc. have just faded away, now that all their "truths" have been shown to be so much bullshit. |
