Can't "sanctioom" you when you have your own YouTube, your own PayPal, your own Twitter, your own Whatsapp, and your own videogames. China is based in this aspect. Russia has their own Facebook though, VKontakte.

Oh it is front engine. That's kind of odd for tracked vehicles, but it is a good idea when one thinks about it.

I swear, every damned article trying to talk about the Russian military strategy is approaching this with babies first RTS levels of thinking.
"Russia have two million troop, why Russia no use two million troop?" - Saturating an area with your guys just means saturating an area with targets for your enemy to shoot, for little benefit. Russia has no need to commit to big bloody field battles right now, they squarely hold the initiative and maneuver advantage. This isn't WW2 where large formations had to be roughly guided into each other due to lack of low level communications equipment/technology. Russia is currently presenting an excellent example of early post cold war ideas, with highly mobile forces avoiding engagement and surrounding areas of high resistance to cut them off, taking advantage of advanced communications to coordinate those moves.
"Russia claim air superiority but Ukrainian planes still fly?" - Because air superiority does not mean you've destroyed every single air associated threat - it means your air forces can operate with minimal enemy intervention while being able to guarantee complete intervention on your enemies air operations. Ukraine can still launch jets - Russia is just completely capable of engaging any of those sorties as they see fit. Which is why high density targets like the armor convoy didn't get struck, launching would be guaranteed air casualties for the Ukrainians, and being outnumbered from multiple angles in BVR air combat is a death sentence.
Journalism is dead, and ego killed it.

I already tried but he's a dumbass and literal schizo (diagnosed and medicated).
Thinks the End Times are here and all that bullshit.
Do they let the mentally ill in Ukraine's armed forces? I assume they don't give a shit at this point.

They let Ukrainians in, so signs point to yes.

Where were the aircraft launched from?
What aircraft were used?
What weapons systems scored the kills?
Honestly, the kill count is about 40% of the Highway of Death in Iraq and which had a fully functional Air Force and Carrier Strike Group in the area. They want me to believe that some Ukrainian pilot, that gets 50 hours of training a year, can meet 40% of Gulf War numbers with a lot few and much shitter planes?

I've been reading Ukraine has been moving the bulk of its armor and heavy munitions to the west. Don't know if that is true, but it would check out. A literal reverse of what the Russians did to the Germans. Use strategic cities as a shield to get time to rally a massive force and then counter attack. They could never have won in a straight up battle on the Steppes, but if they can break the Russian Armored columns in Urban warfare, they could flip the tables.
Apparently the American Javeline system is exceeding all expectations. Its not only wrecking tanks, but in direct fire mode it doubles as a Surface to Air missile.

Chair à canon, aka cannon fodder is a phrase that predates modern warfare, I'm sure they'd let him in. Just lie to him and say he has to have a certificate of good conduct and mental soundness. Fake it if you need to.

They've been letting people out of prison and drafting them so I'd assume he'd get in.

Someone really needs to do a effortpost on Zelensky's corruption and Ukrainian oligarchs in general. Anyone know if anyone has done that? Not referring specifically to this thread, just in general.
Reminds me of that Tianjin explosion at a fireworks factory. Maybe a fire started in a gas plant or something? Probably get blamed of Russian sabotage or something.
Did they really dump Fauci? Have I been under a rock when they lynched him?

To be fair, this exact same thing happened to the Allies after D-Day. Every bit of news that comes out makes me think “this is just like Market Garden”

Tell your friend that the things the Russians (or Ukrainians, depending on which side he joins) will do to him are going to be way worse than what the four Portuguese guys who took his "man" purse did.

tell him that if he really wants to make an impact he should travel to russia instead of ukraine and do a terrorist attack against the government in moscow
worst case he gets killed, but if he's unironically considering volunteering for the losing side in an ongoing war then he probably doesn't care about dying anyway
bonus points if he gets caught and causes a massive international incident, just imagine the giga shitstorm if some american gets busted trying to bomb the kremlin lmao

While Russia is said to not be using their air force, Ukraine just possibly lost their chance at getting a new one.

The only winning party are the defense contractors that will need to resupply all the nations with the ATGMs they are sending over.
