The photos of the Azov Youth are pretty disturbing, kids as drill sergeants yelling at other kids and the kids being visibly freaked out. Azov are real scumbags and I'm saying that as someone who has a lot of sympathies for the nazi ideology.

Heckin wholesome child soldiers fighting to line Ukrainian oligarchs' pockets. History will remember your crimes Russia!

They're just a typical Jew-run group of "Nazis." Like I've said, these types of people do not model themselves off of the NSDAP, they model themselves off of what the Jews said the NSDAP was.

Can't wait until I hear about how the US will be in Ukraine to stop the nazis' funded, just like they ended up in Afghanistan to stop the Islamists they funded. 2012-2014 was wild.

They just think Hitler was really cool and so were his lampshades. Maybe one out of fifty might be able tell you what the economic framework of National Socialism is before sperging about jews.

Gotta give it about 20 years or so for the cia to cut them lose with all of their training so they can become disillusioned the US “partnership”

Real NSDAP was a worker's movement with a paramilitary wing. Jew-controlled Nazi movements skip to the paramilitary part, and at least in the US, the ranks are filled with undercover glowies.

In my opinion the closest thing the world has to the actual NSDAP is the Proud Boys, and it's a pretty vague semblance.

It appears America and Russia have the same "upgrade the current over developing new" tech tree path.
It's just America has more money power, and more people interested in America being dominant in terms of technology and force capability.
How many times has there been a new weapon system announced by any country, and then a 5-10 year backtrack towards adding shit onto pre-existing equipment because their new design ended up being a boondoggle?
Many tanks, many light attack vehicles, many armored personnel carriers have been "developed" only for the military to send out their boys in the same old shit with some new armor welded on, with a new scope on it.
The T-80 just ended up being a new autoloader system for the T-90 which is an upgraded T-72, no?
Logistics apply to manufacturing, and development is expensive.
It appears that most development has been put into electronics and dealing with better and better munitions.
For all the "FUTURE SOLDIER" programs with integrated HUD systems, MAXIMUM ARMOR, and buzzword tactical system mk0v1a, both Russia and US are still fielding AR-15s and AKs albeit with optics and lasers now.
I'm pretty sure the Challenger is still apex tank, but it also hasn't had to do shit. Thats the irony of all this military development. It's a big prick waving dick contest until shit hits the fan, and everything devolves back into trying to hide your shit from the new laser-guided-heat seeking up your ass missile-rocket-bomb.

I do feel the M60 Patton had more soul compared to the Abrams, which is pretty effective at owning hajis and camel jockeys.

IIRC and I learned this from Metal Gear Solid Peace Walker.

The Abrams and Leopard have a common ancestor in the form of some joint tank program that involved a 152mm broomstick to pwn Soviet tankers.

I would have loved to see further developments in the Patton lol.

Yeah, I'll tell you a little secret: They're all like that. Goring was a fatassed, flouncing opium addict, Himmler was a magic obsessed nutcase with no chin. Look at any of the threads we have on neo-nazi groups and individuals on this forum and note all of the redneck drama that they get up to that inevitably leads to their catching a case. They have the same problem that the commies have. They all drink from the same poisoned well of false assumptions about the nature of society and the human condition and it leads them to blunder into the same mistakes over and over again, no matter how many times they insist that they've fixed it this time.

Look, I'm sorry that the Russians make such a shitty antipode to degenerate western wokeness but fucking christ, dude. You're bitching about one country's oligarchs while they're being invaded by another country where everything is run by oligarchs. We are reaching levels of vatnik that shouldn't be possible with this kind of rationale. Like, it's Eastern Europe, what do you expect? This level of warcrimey slav-on-slav bullshit has been going on since 2014, it's just that they kept it down to a dull roar these last few years.

The rest will tell you what the economic framework of National Socialism was... and then start sperging about the jews.

People seem to forget how humilating the 2003 invasion was for the US, troops were begging parents to pull together collections at work to buy fucking personal body armor and troops had to personally purchase armor for Humvees and to ad-hoc weld panels onto them since some of the humvees were sent over without the canvas tarp shit they used to use for roofs.

Welded on armor for vehicles:

Unarmored humvees in woodland camo no roof, enjoy that sunburn soldier!

The best part about the armox is we were stacking so much on our trucks, it was blowing through suspension, steering, & brakes at probably 3-4x the normal wear rates; even with RFI "upgrade" kits, and even with KBR around to handle scheduled servicing.

Even better was *none* of our trucks had been uparmored before going downrange, and we started Mad Max'ing our shit only *after* doing our own version of a thunder run through Baghdad and Balad.

Romeo 9 was one of mine; observe the armox water-bottle holder, and not visible is the dispenser/magazine for my D-cell batteries. This image was taken fully six months into a 15 month deployment, and we *still* didn't have everything uparmored yet.

The sheer state of Russian PMCS has kicked my PTSD into gear harder than anything else, and they still rolled into Ukraine with newer/better shit than we had.

Those kids are probably going to have some awkward memories when they get older trying to remember their childhood.

I hate both sides in this fiasco, one is backed by Globohomo and the other is different blend Globohomo but with the quiet part removed. Only reason I support Ukraine is it's their country's very existence they're fighting for at the end of the day. Also, I get to laugh at Russia because it still fancies itself a superpower.

Was Albert Speer giving somewhat of the truth in his book about the Third Reich as I have heard some folks dispute it as Speer blaming all his shortcomings on others and trying to rehab himself.

Are there debates among unironic Nazis over this situation over what to do?

I just want to watch Redditors get owned by Russkie airstrikes because one retard had to post on the internet. People really have no idea how much metadata is broadcast every time you do this.

Seriously though ordinary Russians are pissed about the situation, it's dangerous to speak out about it though. What a fucking stalemate.

I'll settle for a few of them shrink wrapped to poles tbh.

Russia knew full well that this war was not going to be easy.

We don't know what the Russian General Staff are thinking or planning, but I doubt they'd make an assumption of that kind. And as we won't know anything about what was and or will be said in these planning meetings for generals for some time, who knows what the Russians think?

The problem with such arguments is that Russia's invasion makes no sense unless they thought it was going to be that easy to secure their objectives. If they faced opposition no more competent than they faced in 2014, it'd be relatively easy for them to take the rest of Luhansk and Donetsk oblasts for the breakaway republics; take the Kherson and Zaporizhzhia oblasts to secure water and better land access to Russia for Crimea as well as full control of the sea of Azov; and maybe take partial or full control of Mykolaiv and Odessa oblasts to seize all Black Sea claims and secure an overland route to Transnistria. Especially if they succeeded in capturing the government in the opening days or causing them to flee the country in a largely unopposed thrust on Kiev. In such a scenario - particularly if the civilians were indifferent or supportive - there wouldn't be enough time or fighting for a major international backlash to be organized, the areas in the east most likely to put up genuine resistance would be easy to paint as neo-Nazis, and they could conceivably get away with it with no more than a minor increase in sanctions from the US and maybe its allies.

Under conditions that they've actually faced, they're nearly a month into this with no end in sight, have casualties in the thousands including some high ranking officers, are laying waste to multiple cities including ones with large populations of Russian descent, huge portions of their international trade is fucked, and they're looking at putting themselves into an unfavorable relationship with China or India to keep trade going. Unless they're insane, there's no way that they thought that what they could gain from this war would worth the problems they've faced thus far and will face in the future if this is the level of resistance to their invasion they expected. Even blatant assassinations of Ukraine's top government officials in hopes of getting ones more favorable to Russia would have given them fewer problems and been more likely to see good results.

I'm more worried about what happens when we create a country where every third person seems to have access to some form of shoulder fired missile.

Was Albert Speer giving somewhat of the truth in his book about the Third Reich as I have heard some folks dispute it as Speer blaming all his shortcomings on others and trying to rehab himself.

I have no idea. I trust nothing from post-war nazi memoirs because they were all trying to dodge the rope and be employable after the war. It very quickly turned into a circular firing squad. What is known is that Goring had a weird fetish for vintage german uniforms to a dandyish level and Himmler did organize an expedition to the himalayas to find the Aryan homeland.

Also, I get to laugh at Russia because it still fancies itself a superpower.

That is worth the price of admission. Watching real time vatnik crow-eating has been a fascinating experience. They really thought their shit didn't stink. They watched the disaster that was western filibustering over the last couple decades and just assumed they would do better. Because stronk.

The backpeddaling for their clusterfuck of an invasion has been a sight to behold. The biggest downside for me is that most are just too ignorant of what's happening to properly understand how much of a goatfuck this thing is. Any kind of publicly available OSI is dismissed as propaganda if it shows any hint of reality. Instead we just watch them slowly lower the bar of what they consider to be a victory. A sort of implicit recognition that things aren't going very well.

So why didn't the Nahzees just all immigrate to Nepal instead of ruining Europe and nationalism?

They could have had their autistic little "we wuz pajeets an' sheeit" enclave away from everybody else.
