Looks like someone is still a little salty that his Grand Army of Mud People can barely gas up a 40 mile column, let alone storm the capital.
p. s. By now, in terms of timeline, the US had pretty much wrapped up its invasion of Iraq. Complete with conquering a capital three times as big in terms of population.
I disagree on it being legit: a massive intelligence fuckup like 9/11 happens and instead of holding our internal bureaucrats accountable, we blame some camel humpers that weren’t even holding Bin Laden. He was in Pakistan.
The invasion of Afghanistan has more to do with the Taliban killing the poppies and its hurt on the US pharmaceutical industry than some butt hurt sandnigger.
Well I guess it does make sense that the guy everyone is betting against has to pay more for mercs than anyone else. Or they expect this war to be over pretty soon, which it probably will be.
Something that I wonder about, does anyone have any info on the Ukrainian military's stockpiles before the war started? Most countries really don't keep a huge stock of munitions on hand, in fact I remember reading during the height of the Cold War that most European militaries only had about two weeks worth of supplies for full scale conflict.
Now I know when everyone thinks of an Eastern Bloc country they think they're full of those warehouses of AK's like in Lord of War, but those old Soviet stock piles have been depleted over the years getting sold off to other countries and being sold on the surplus market so Bubba down at the range can shoot his garbage rod, so that's not what current Ukraine has.
So basically, unless someone is shipping Ukraine a shit load of 5.45 ammo, it's possible Ukraine might be outta ammo soon if it isn't already.
This is just from the last 6 months and only the USA. They've been shipping weapons to Ukraine since at least 2014.
They received lots of hand weapons + ammo, lots of javelins & manpads and that seems to be a lot but on the other hand only a few tanks, armored vehicles, artillery or jets.
Enough to keep them fighting and enough to keep them on a leash. (see Iraq in the 80s)
Channel 1 - battalion commander, drones
Channel 2 and 3 - 1st Company
Channel 4 and 5 - 2nd Company
Channel 6 and 7 - 3rd Company
can't quite make out the others
Channel 10 might be Sniper

NATO is doing great at cosplaying Britain and France in 1939. No-fly zone in Western Ukraine is literally free and very easy to implement (no need to destroy Russian SAMs). NATO planes are in the air 24/7, why not use them for something meaningful?
MUH NUCLEAR WAR argument is BS. US can send Ohios in Mediterranean and Trident II flight time to European Russia and Urals would be 5-6 minutes. Most of Russian nukes are there in silos, on the ground in more or less pre-determined areas or on RPKSNs parked in Barenz Sea bases (it's too expensive and dangerous to keep them at sea and they can't get anywhere close to US coast anyway). Bases of strategic bombers are also known. If the US strikes first, it can destroy 90% of all Russian nuclear forces before they can retaliate, and then there is anti-ICBM defences to deal with what's left. US will spend 100-150 Tridents on this (5-6 out of 14 SSBN Ohios) and will keep enough ICBMs to further deter China. No large cities/civilian infrastructure will be targeted which will reduce collateral damage.
Dreaded "Perimeter" system is a bluff created precisely because no chain of command can react in 5-6 minutes. It's important to make the opposing side believe that your ICBMs will launch automatically, when in fact there is always a human pressing the button. The best argument of it not existing is that numerous early warning system activations have never led to nuclear missiles being launched, human decision has always prevented it. And because the whole scenario of nuclear war is so unexpected, the reaction time would be longer (ensuring attacker's success).
Either NATO deals with Putin here and now, or it would have to deal with him later when Russia is recovered, decoupled from EU, allied with China and the West is even more dead and gay than now.
"supplies and volunteers are not legitimate targets"
i'm at a loss for words
also i'd assume "azov naval base" is a regular ukr navy base unrelated to the paramilitary unit, just named after the sea it is located on (sea of azov)
cause i seriously doubt that a militia group like azov batallion has ever or will ever operate warships
I could see it being true for certain things, specifically smart bombs/precision guided stuff and some spare parts. If it's pre cold war, they should still have a mountain of spares and ammo for it though. Post Cold War stuff may be a different story. Unless they run out of food or something. That would be fittingly ironic given the history.

You really dont think the russians have nuclear submarines? it doesnt matter if you achieve total success in your larpy plan, the submarines will surface and dust the US a half hour later.
Poorly made guns and ammo tend to have squib rounds. Where the bullets get lodged in the barrel of the gun. Creating a seal. Then when you fire another cartridge, the muzzle is no longer the path of least resistance for the explosion pressure. Or in non-autistic terms, the gun blows the fuck up.
Lol no. No one is going to be a battlefield janny for these fools, not even the people they are pretending they are there to help. They will simply stawp poasting one day, and no one will know for sure what happened to them (though it won`t be hard to guess).
The two men looked down at what was left of the strange, green-haired foreigner with the video game tattoos. “Who was he?” Yevgeny asked.
Ivan was busy stripping the corpse of all of its brand-new tacticool gear. “He would be very angry about that,” he said as he fished the man`s prized iPhone from his pocket. “Very sensitive about pronoun. Idiot dead now anyway. Come on, let`s go.”
Reports are coming in that the soldier, the Hollering Hog of Mariupol has personally killed 50 DNR Separatists in his quest to wipe out a notorious group of Portuguese Foreign Fighters who are rumored to fund their operation through the sale of goods stolen in their native country with Purses being their preferred item to snatch and sell. Reports also state that the Soldier is incredibly brave and impervious to pain (Rumor is that “Oxyberries“ are involved) and has survived off of nothing but Alcohol since arriving in Ukraine. The Hollering Hog announces his presence to his enemies by constantly yelling about “Ayy Lawgs“, a man that he claims fakes having cancer that he confesses his homosexual feelings towards, traitorous alligators and an unnamed child molester. He has also been spotted doing that height comparison thing the bad guy from Boondock Saints 2 does with corpses of Separatist fighters, professing that he is not 5'1 while doing so.
