Guys we kicked ass, I think we are at about 5k and I’m going to owe some battle swag. Akulas got some stuff, Babas got some stuff, we will pay our debts. To the fucking Russian troll, just stay where you are and don’t snoop around here.
I’ve been on defcom 3 since I got back the first time. My neighbors a ret marine the others a us Marshall, just fucking poke your head round here. It’s country but loaded with game cams and hunting dogs, everyone knows our family and what we do. Anyway, Guys let’s keep it going one more night, announcement tomorrow, if someone drops 2k I’ll give up my most cherished Ukraine possession, given to me years back by a hero who we saw in Mauripol video kick ass. He’s dead so please don’t buy it from me. An Azov police badge pre-dark sun removal (ie before they were forced to remove it) Actually scratch that, not selling it, would be a dishonor. I can and will get guys patches and flags though who threw in the big $$$.

Troop numbers? Locations or even operational details? Are you nuts? Add NATO generals and Allies who work with other Allies? Does NATO keep secrets? Dam Son turn on the TV. How much would Russia pay or promise or what wouldn’t they do to get that kind of access? They wouldn’t threaten to expose your presidents finances? Polonium your tea? Kidnap your stupid teenage daughter? It’s pre ww2 level opsec going on. It’s compartmrntslized like a giant intelligence op. Southern commanders don’t know about what’s going on or intended in north. I’m not sure the president even gets involved because he knows his entourage is target numero uno. He just gives general permissions, goals, and limitations. then They kick all but say 10 guys out and that’s it. We might give a how the usa would do it with some imaginary us force, they might take parts of that but it’s 10 smart trust worthy guys and maybe 2 are westerners of proven value in strategy. Likely Retired. I can put some names out there but won’t. I don’t know for sure. And there are some it modeling geeks but they are Ukrainians or adopted Ukrainians. |

After Mauripol and the death of all the wounded hero’s in that cleanup op, plus the dick cutting video, plus the rapes of children on video, I was worried we see some line them up and shoot them stuff, I get it believe me, the temptation and anger only grows exponentially once you see it but I’m glad to see the high road by our guys. |

But what if I lag!? I'm DEAD! I also heard that there are no respawn points in RL." You do get one respawn, but its on a very long timer and you might have problems if you did naughty things in your first life. |

Money should not be the question to solve the russian problem once and for all. If they fail because of lack of our support then our children will have to finish the task but at much grater cost EXACTLY!!!! Ive said it before, I don’t want my two boys fighting Russians and Chinese in Poland or Guam 10 years from now. Russia gets away from this intact, the cancer will grow back, maybe a little more slowly. But grow it will. Better defeat one now than worry about the other. Together China and Russia presented a big problem for us long term. We can make a war with China unlikely and winnable. |

You want to be mind blown, read what he wrote BEFORE the invasion.

He also understood the dynamics and responses in the west - namely calling Lend Lease - indicating he knew that the west would take this as an existential issue and put western production might behind Ukraine |

The only thing that makes me unhappy about this thread is that I don't have time to read more than every third page.

The Russians seem more than capable of going even lower than where they are now. |
