Given that they're apparently capturing stocks of it from the Ukies, familiarising yourself with the weapon is never bad. The eggheads can deal with the reverse engineering later.


Lend-lease? America happily bankrolled the war effort from 1939 onwards, but it never triggered any reprisals from the Axis powers. Really, it was the oil embargo (lol) that eventually pushed the Japanese to do Pearl Harbour and finally drag America screaming into the war.

America was also instrumental in supplying Great Britain as Germany attempted to cut it off with submarines.

The main reason for Germany declaring war on the US after pearl harbor was that they were inching towards war anyway due to incidents between German subs and american vessels. Might as well switch over to unrestricted sub warfare sooner rather than later and hope to knock out USSR before a front could be opened in the west.

Much like Putin nowadays though, that decision is generally dismissed as Hitler being crazy. The thought of anyone having differing interests or reasoning than whatever the current western media zeitgeist is for the moment is so unthinkable that this individual must be somehow mentally unstable.

the U.N.'s 1948 Genocide Convention, which both countries have signed, does not allow an invasion to prevent one.

Yeah, because if anywhere suddenly decided to fire up the ovens ready to reduce the semitic population in their nation they wouldn't end up with at least half of the world invading them literally for that reason.

This shit is really weird. Why would you post so much to shill your book if you are in such a dangerous situation where you will likely die and not benefit from the sales of your book?

Well, I don't know, it reads like a "put your money where your mouth is" moment for Western democracies and the US. You were all buddy-buddy with Vlad whereas Eastern Europe has been shouting in your ear for 30 years that Russia cannot be reasoned with and now, faced with Vlad actually following through with his word, wouldn't you want to do something about it?

Or rather, your government. You elected those governments, did you not?


Imagine being so terminally online that any frank conversation on emotions and their manifestation is dismissed as "reddit talk"...in a very angry fashion.

Seems like you’ve perfectly adopted the east European attitude of getting on your knees and begging someone else to fight for you.

At the end of the day, America could guarantee Ukraine’s victory in this war single-handedly, but it won’t because it simply isn’t worth it. Ukraine acted as if it was a core American security interest and could shit on Russia with impunity, it’s not America’s responsibility to bail Ukraine out.

As for WWI, its actually a bit complicated than that. But its mainly the result of British propaganda (very excellent play by play, mind you) and Germany's unrestricted submarine warfare making US anxious. Then the Zimmerman thing happened..

There was also that whole business of the Lusitania, which wasn't sunk because the Germans are just evullll, but because the Lusitania was smuggling weapons to Britain.

The Germans gave fair warning to Americans:

Lo and behold, the British played fuck-fuck games to increase the likelihood of the Lusitania crossing paths with a German U-boat.

I'm pretty sure it's just the IG mirror.

So is Mariupol done then, or is the fighting still going on elsewhere?
Click to expand...
Azov and mariupol were basically being shelled nonstop 24/7 for days so far. They have dug in hard so even with an HQ knocked out its unlikely they are down and out, they are more than war-wise enough to disperse positions throughout the city, if anything they probably lost some spare equipment and a way to phone home.

Ukrainian TV host uses Adolf Eichmann quote to advocate genocide of Russians and killing their children
View attachment 3076288
“I allow myself to quote Adolf Eichmann, who said that in order to destroy a nation, you must destroy, first of all, its children. Because if you kill their parents, the children will grow up and take revenge. By killing children – they will never grow up and the nation will disappear,” he said, while a photo of Eichmann appeared on the screen.

>Since you're already calling me a Nazi I might as well embrace it and genocide your entire race.
Diogenes pissing on the person calling him a dog was funny, but this is just sad. Instead of pulling the cord his crew even doubled down by editing in an actual nazi. And now that the west doesn't like it they're trying to put the blame entirely on the presenter? What a jewish thing to do.

So, instead of a purported "outside control" of Ukraine by the globohomo (as many counterculture people suggest), the Ukrainian state should've accepted a direct control of a corpocratic state, almost indistinguishable from globohomo, except maybe, living standards.

No, they should have spent the past decade and a half actually getting ready for it, The Eurozone was perfectly fine Funding Russia's military for years by buying oil and natural gas from them until a month ago where it became "REEEE RUSSIA BAD" when up until then if you at all said "Putin is a bad man, we shouldn't do business with him" you got told...well I will let Biden's previous boss say it.


It is way too fucking late to stop Russia from taking over Ukraine, It is something that should have been nipped in the ass when Russia invaded a country for the first time, but nope The West continued to outsource Jobs and Energy Production to hostile powers, something Ukraine profited from for Decades.

Do I like Russia? Nope Do I like Putin? Fuck no, but actions have consequences and quite frankly every time Zelensky gets up and talks I find less and less sympathy for him. Especially when he outright fucking lies in front of Congress. "THIS IS THE WORST WAR SINCE WORLD WAR 2" my fucking ass. He had the fucking balls to go up in front of Congress and say that Russia invading them with the Kid Gloves on (do any of us really think that Russia couldn't just fucking level Kiev in a day?) and bitching when Russia doesn't fuck around with the "NOOO YOU CAN'T BOME LE SCHOOLS WE STATION TROOPS IN!" any more than the Jews do when Hamas does the same shit?

The only actual way this shit show ends with justice done is if Zelensky gets drug out by his own people and raped to death with a Broomstick and Whatever proper heir to the Tzars of Russia shows up and uppercuts Putin and declares themselves the one and only true ruler of the Vodka Niggers.

Ah, I knew someone would bring up Lusitania. But look at the date, its 1915, the Americans only joined the war in 1917. And after Lusitania there were many American ships being attacked by Germans as well. The thing is, Lusitania was not a big reason for the US entry to the war. But it was used extensively by the Brits to influence the popular opinion of the war in America. The last straw was still the Zimmerman Telegram

Not sure if this article has already been posted:

Some copy-pastas from the article:
"Recruits say they are often waiting for weapons and training, leaving them feeling exposed."

“Pure hell: fire, shouting, panic. And a lot more bombs and missiles.”
That is how Swedish volunteer Jesper Söder described Sunday’s attack on Yavoriv, the military training base in western Ukraine pounded by Russian missiles that killed 35 people, according to Ukrainian authorities. Russia said the death toll was much higher.
Söder said he led a group of foreigners including Scandinavians, British and Americans out of the base and back across the nearby Polish border."

"... many of the volunteers at Yavoriv had no previous military training, he said."

"But some arrive to discover that there are no weapons, protective gear or proper training in a multilingual force short on organization and breeding a sense of chaos."

"He added, “Even though you’ve got the best of intentions to help people, you could basically be cannon fodder.”

It also names a few 'volunteers' by first and last name so it's pretty easy to find a few their social media:

I bet they're running a priority system for the foreign volunteers for who gets resources. Any snake eaters are probably getting bundled into groups by language, assigned a liason, and are pretty much running their shit the way they're used to. Russian-speakers with military training are probably getting bundled into the reactivated reserves and moved along that way, while Russian-speakers without training are probably headed for whatever excuse for basic training Ukraine still has going. Non-Russian-speaking veterans are probably the most tricky group to deal with, because they can either teach them Russian, or form them into units under the command of a bilingual Ukrainian officer and try to give them a crash course in Ukrainian doctrine and equipment. Then there's the people with neither, otherwise known as the Reddit Brigade, and are likely the lowest priority for equipment and training in the whole of Ukraine at this point, just on virtue of how much effort it's going to take to get them up to speed compared to everyone else.

Why, yes, this is rank fucking speculation, how could you tell?
