I mentioned this several times before, but remove all the bullshit about Castro, Communism vs Capitalism, etc., and think about just why the Cuba Missile crisis was so destabilizing and dangerous: it had placed the nuclear trip wire right on the front door of one of the major nuclear powers, and in a country that had historical grievances with said nuclear power. What has the US/NATIO essentially been trying to do by trying to woo Ukraine into their fold? Placing the nuclear trip wire right on the front door of one of the major nuclear powers, and in a country that has historical grievances with said nuclear power.

Our institutions are run by idiots that take zero lessons from history.

I mean this is what I think of whenever any starts crying about Russia going into Ukraine; if Khrushchev had been a doddering senile faggot like Biden and let his apparatchiks run the USSR who refused to back down, the US going into Cuba would have literally destroyed the entire island as the Soviets had tactical nukes they were willing to deploy there, and so did we. Plus there was Curtis Le May in the Joint Chiefs who went batshit insane in his old age and was demanding to nuke the USSR immediately and got snarky with JFK when he told him to lol calm down, forcing his resignation.

It's not a question of not allowing it to get this far since Biden himself was propping up and financially enriching himself from the Ukraine so of course he was letting them taunt Russia. This is a complete breakdown and failure of US statecraft, forcing Putin to believe he had no other choice but to act, because that's what we expect him to do. It's depressing to have solid proof the US is manned by retards and imbeciles.

Yes, I'm sure the world's financial institutions will start adopting and using a SWIFT alternative control by an authoritarian oligarchy, third world shithole with 0 rule of law that somehow manages to get sanctioned every 2 years by all relevant world economies, minus China.
There's nothing banks and financial institutions love more than the uncertainty of the next day and the possibility of getting your transactions funneled by the Kremlin just because they feel like it, with you not being able to do anything about it.
It's over Globalfinancialbros the Russians won this time, I knee to the glorious God Tsar shirtless Putin clone number 521.

Because when this is over Russia wants them to be a functional country with a Russian puppet president. Pissing off 100% of the population and wrecking everything doesn't really help that happen.

They were 100% real. I don't know why it's even debated. Back in the day life was cheaper. The marksmen courses were taught to tens of thousands of men and women. Not exactly "sniper" but close enough. Most of them didn't do well.

Pavlichenko was a powerhouse for war bands because her sex. Soviets knew how to exploit PR. After the war she trained others, 100% legit, married and had a kid. Fucking Woman with capital W.

I agree that these are PR stunts, but this shit works, every little bit helps.

There are female marksmen, but you don't send those to the front. First off there are no opportunities to take propaganda pictures if they're out fighting. If they're out fighting they risk getting killed or captured which would be highly demoralizing. In every case where women have actually fought on the front it's shown to be more of a burden than a gain because the female soldier will be unable to physically keep up with the male soldiers, and the male soldiers will make reckless decisions to protect the weakest member of the unit.
