Yes, easily. The main thing that people forget is that the anti ship ballistic missile meme is just that, a meme. They’re great in concept but there is no way in hell they’re actively guided on reentry. Chinese talk mad shit but they can’t project naval power worth a damn.
The problem is that these larpers don't have handlers anymore and have a lot of guns.
You think people weren't being tortured for having the wrong ideology until nazism was a thing? The nazi stuff is because the nazis is the one group the slavs can identify as being anti Kremlin without having to go full burger. Pro putin civilians would be tortured, nazi or no. It isn't an ideology that magically turns people into irrational anti-russian beasts. The Ukrainians have fought against the Russians before the nazis were even a thing, and they will likely fight them long after as well.
You can blame Stalin for some of that. You guys wouldn't have had to pay for a lot of it had he destroyed or returned it.
They would need air superiority and their amphibian capabilities are shit. They’re not ready to invade yet.
Am I being trolled
Switchblade drones, Starstreak, NLAW, newer variants of Stinger. It's not like capturing a working F-35 or anything (China already stole most of those blueprints anyway), but it'll keep the nerds in Moscow and Beijing busy for a while. No doubt Ukies have passed along any interesting Russian hardware to Nato too.
I don't think it's the fashy haircuts and weird virgin windmills that put people off, as much as their enthusiasm for torture, murder and rape. Unironic veneration of WW2 war criminals is just a pretty obvious clue that they're not good guys.
Hahaha with fucking what, that equipment is as good as gone and you ain't getting a cent back i mean even if Ukraine was willing to pay for it their economy is utterly fucked from now to a decade, assuming any semblance of stability is restored.
I never said that.The problem is not in the torture or struggle itself, but what it is based on. Most people do not want to change their language, and the language of their parents, and even more so, to be threatened by their ethnic origin.
It is the ideology. For example, since Khrushchev, Russians have lived happily with Ukrainian for 60 years, and in the last 10, some Ukrainians have started shouting "Muscovites" to the knife, apparently due to strange genetics.
Homo sapiens killed and exterminated Neanderthals. Unicellular creatures kill each other. What is your argument?
I'm not familiar with America's ability to defend taiwan, especially on a naval front. I genuinely don't see why we couldn't and I would appreciate someone smarter than me explaining why or why not.Am I being trolled
If all China had was some ballistic missiles, this would merely be a moderately retarded take. Unfortunately the Chinks have a large, modern and increasingly capable range of ships, subs, aircraft and cruise missiles - not to mention their space assets so they can see what's going on - and Taiwan is only 100 miles off the Chinese coast, so trying to sneak a carrier battle group in during wartime would be suicidally megatarded.
Personally I don't give a shit about the Azov Battalion being Neo-Nazi LARPers (especially since the Russians have their own share of Neo-Nazi LARPers) but it does make their unbelievably comical incompetence and the spectacular mental gymnastics both the mainstream media and the ADL perform in order to SIMP for them funnier. I don't see the Azov Battalion as a reincarnation of the Waffen SS, but as a bunch of lolcows on par with r/VolunteersForUkraine with the difference being that Redditors have achieved actual results (such as retaking some hamlets in the northern front).
Well every 50 years or so that happens in that area of the world. The Soviets were equally as much assholes towards the non-Russians when they were in charge. Every non Russian group that has been in either the Russian empire or the Soviet Union have tales of Russification of their culture and the oppression of their language.
Not trying to actively kill each other is a far cry from "living happily". From 1960 to 1990 there are countless incidents of anti soviet Ukrainians being jailed, shot, put in house arrest, and performing suicide as protest against the Soviet regime. The anti-soviet sentiment can be seen in the Ukrainians who fled the USSR who made monuments to SS units and were vocal opponents of the USSR.
That nazism isn't the underlying reason for why the Ukrainians don't want to be ruled by Russians. It certainly wasn't necessary in 1920. We're coming back to the original point that you're whining about nazis more than a jewish college girl in america.
It's just very funny watching shitlibs trying to defend nazis as they desperately recite points from their favorite journo. Also it's very funny when shitlibs cry about obsession when someone disagrees with them.
I mean it is funny that you've got CNN and ADL defending nazis. But I'm seeing more seething than laughing.
I mean I hope you don't think of me as a shitlib. I would personally argue that any right winger who defends Russia's "denazification" and "anti-fascist" war of aggression need a moment to reflect exactly what they support when you've got Russian oligarchs and Putin sending Russian peasants and central asian serfs to kill Ukrainians or die far from home just so the leaders can relieve the glory days when they were marxist pieces of shit.
Dead slavs either way? Based!
I'm by no means a military expert, but I think that as a layperson it's safe to say that getting your shit pushed in almost every time you fight someone who isn't a civilian and losing losing almost the entire territory you were "in charge of" to supposedly incompetent vatniks as I more or less said in an earlier post and failed to make any gains (unlike Redditors), does not make for a stellar track record. But what do I know, I'm just an observing layperson judging things by their results.
