Zelensky can stop begging NATO/US because The Thief of Kyiv is at it again.

I'm thinking the same thing might be happening in the states, too. Most US military recruitment ads I see feature women and nonwhites.

Maybe darkie and Rosie the Riveter can go Die en masse for the Jew this time. Come on moral crusaders, time to show your patrioTISM. It's time for Whites to get a turn to stay behind and fuck all the military wives.

Zelenskyy is playing for keeps lol.

I live in a NATO country lol. The more neutered Russia is the better especially since the country in question is a large pile of resources. I hope Ukraine will stave off this invasion, they not only would make a strong NATO partner especially now that the west is glorifying them (rightfully so) and they are tough as nails but they are also valuable partners in business. Why would we give up on these people who have shown the world they are willing to fight tooth and nail against the Reds.

So it seems you also live about 50 years in the past. Russia is not our main competition or threat, China is. What Russia does have is natural resources in abundance and all those resources will now go to our main threat at a discounted rate. Yet somehow you see this as a win.

Get with the times.

Yeah but the blown out armor is Russian, I mean I don't think they need to lie about dead Russians its not like they are hard to come by same with Ukrainians. In short it would be easier to just film a dead Russian then set up an elaborate scene with actors. Like they are at war there is more dead body's lying around then anything else lol.

How do you know the armour is actually Russian? The "Z" alone isnt exactly definitive. Coupled with the fact that the Ukies are allegedly capturing a lot of Russian armour anyway.

They'd probably make them REMFs. Someone's gotta scrub the heads and haul junk around. If it takes 6-9 months to teach zoomers that, then Heaven help us.

(Which is precisely why it will take zoomers 6-9 months to learn to be jannies and pack mules.)

If I could rate you thunk provoking, I would.

I also found pic related in a thread where people are talking about that SSS tweet. Apparently, they've been making "in case of a draft" tweets for a while now, near half a year since before this Ukraine thing started. I don't necessarily agree with everything in the post, but I found it notable enough to include here regardless:

Everyone is getting their share.

If Russia collapses or is weakened China is in a bad spot. China on their own as of this moment I am not worried, the combination of China and Russia is a worry. Right now the west is destroying Russian military at a rapid pace, things are going good for the west.

Also: Vince McMahon, you don't get an opinion if you're simultaneously lauding Zelensky's draft while also dodging it.

What if Vince McMahon is a Redditor?

What if Vince McMahon is a Redditor?

In which case I am doubly displeased at him avoiding being obliterated by a GRAD. While extoling the virtue of people being forced to. This part is the main thing I consider subhuman.

Numbnuts, China is getting a new client state out of this. Putin will gladly sell Winnie the Pooh gas and oil for a discount.

If Russia collapses or is weakened

Then China is in a prime spot to seize petro and mineral resources in Siberia, as well as Vladivostok and surrounding territory that a Chinese general said was rightfully Chinese with no reprimand last year

You guys over estimate China just like you over estimated Russias Military prowess, while under selling the power of western nations. Imagine thinking the Globohomo will lose in this exchange lol. Just look at a map. Look where China is, Look where Russia is and then Look at the rest of the world.

To be fair Globohomo thought they would lose too.

 

[Spicey McHaggis]

Even though BMPs are basically the cannon fodder of the IFV world, this thread is making me wish I had one.

This thread is making me wish I had a cargo ship and some armored recovery vehicles. My inner milsperg and milsurp gun nut have been going crazy looking at all the abandoned armor. For the first time in my life I have envied gypsies, just because they get to steal all the cool toys I've always wanted

Underestimate yourself, and overestimate your enemy. Hubris is how you lose. That's precisely why Russia is tripping over their own dicks.

Where is the US relative to "The rest of the world"? The US is more isolated geographically than China is, if that's what you're going for.

 

[Fanatical Pragmatist]

Honestly this is half the reason I'm rooting for the Ukies in all this.

Russia: "Kyiv will fall within 36 hours"
NATO: "Kiev will likely fall within 48 hours"
Ukraine: *lens flare eyes* "The fuck it will"

Underestimate yourself, and overestimate your enemy. Hubris is how you lose.

This is exactly what the US did in the Gulf War and it ended with a shitload of burning T-72 & T-62 tanks in the desert for like 2 mission kill Abrams and 1 dead Bradley IFV...
