Common battle doctrine is for tanks to avoid conflict with other tanks. Engaging another tank is almost sure fire way to disable your own, even if you win.
This line of thinking has been around since the things were invented, people think wwii was some metal free for all, but actual tank v tank combat was exceedingly rare and usually only occurred in cases of guaranteed victory.
You mean War Thunder isnt historically accurate????

I'm just waiting for the Moscow stonk market to open bro. Can't imagine why they're keeping it closed. Maybe you can provide some information and context
No I can't do that because I don't know much about stock markets. Most of that stuff seems like a casino to me and I don't trust it.

So you are saying that propaganda should be allowed and isn't propaganda, because banning it from youtube makes you butmad?

This might be the most retarded take ever, if you are honestly taking any sort of informative content from a STATE RUN media corporation on youtube you should just off yourself.

I see the wisdom in why Null decided to ban new user registrations.

I had a conversation yesterday with somebody and they were like "We need to ban all Russians from the NHL". I asked why and they said "Because they are Russian". I countered that "I bet you thought we need to send all the Muslims back after 9/11" and I got that vacant NPC stare. It's become increasingly clear that after 9/11 the only problem a lot of people had was that it was a Republican president and not a Democrat making the decisions and that their distaste for xenophobia was only a tool of criticism but not an actual belief. Xenophobia is totally cool as long as their guy is doing it.

Was this posted? They're doing cancel culture on a whole ass country now.

It's funny only the Pro-Russians feel this way. Or the "im totally neutral guys here is a RT report on the current situation".

Any "female fighters" in Ukraine are just puff pieces for people to YAAS QWEEN SLAY over in the West. That shit happened all the time in Syria with the YPG "women brigades".

You have to be Pro-Russian to believe that not all Ukrainians want to die in a pointless war? I know you're trolling but your starting to sound like an unhinged ziocon.

I said before, and I’ll say it again, the more Russia is pushed into a corner, the more the strike back from Putin and company is more guaranteed to happen and the boogeyman of Russia won’t just be a story. And some people will cheer because of who Russia is going after.
What’s Russia’s status on Israel? I’d imagine Iran would be pro Russia is America is backing Ukraine.
Good news guys, turns out my government (Bongistan) is perfectly ok with me going to another country to satisfy my bloodlust, so long as it's the right people. Absolute lunacy.
Will you take up the government on that offer?
And they'll fall for it again and again and again without a doubt. They'll believe what they're told to believe.
Except this time, there’s a more than zero chance we get people going six feet under.

In the meantime, America is having an identity crisis over being pro isolationist or pro interventionist.
If democrats somehow get NATO to escalate to full blown war or get boots on ground not only are they done forever but the entire states will be done.

Be thankfully democrats are so greedy and power hungry that they won’t pull into a nuke lobbing fight because they can’t be obnoxious and demand people do stuff for them when everyone is dead.

And after the ashes of humanity rise up when everything is settled, they will curse the democrats afterwards who emerge from the bunkers and immediately try to murder them.

So, chances are good it’s going to be isolationist and sanctions only.

but isn't Bongistan England?
UK is a Union of nations, it's odd for the historically separatist and neutral party of Northern Ireland to take a side in a European conflict.

Ireland was entirely neutral in WWII, for reference - and even sent condolences after Hitler's death. It's extremely concerning that both Sinn Fein and the Republic's politicians to go "Pff Neutral? Fuck that lol"

No really, you look like a moron. The CIA and friends just tried running a coup in Kazahkistan a month or two ago and Belarus during 2021. This is in addition to Ukraine itself having a coup run on it in 2014 which is the centerpiece of the current war. These sanctions are more financial than anything, money is like water, it gets choppy when its disturbed but quickly will find its level again. Almost all of the Russian banks are moving to the Chinese alternative to SWIFT and this is a fucking disaster for the West, it speeds up the rate of "de-dollarization" globally and increases the power of the 21st century's dominate nation. Crypto (for the common man to avoid financial embargoes like this) and CIPS (For the banks) will be the death of Western soft power.
 
Never played COD, but I mentioned briefly int he end of my post of further negative Russian depictions in media. Since maybe around Euromaiden or so Russians have been depicted as shady ruthless mobsters, similar things happen to Serbs as well, except Serbs are usually depicted as war criminals in hiding who ordered the deathes of entire Albanian villages.
To be honest I can’t think of any positive Russian depictions in media unless they have no noticeable accent.
