So Kate, you admit there wasn't election fraud in 2016?

I think Putin saw these nuclear war aftermath movies like Threads and The Day After, which the guys who criticized him on this point should see. Btw, would these guys even go further as doing a false flag just to start WWIII?

Threads and The Day After are overrated. A Boy And His Dog is the true post nuke kino, to the point it's the inspiration for 99% of most well known nuke fiction. Also lots of rape, which makes it more accurate to what would happen than most depictions. Also one of the best ending lines in all cinema. Seriously if you've never watched it, it's super good. If you like Fallout it's basically an actually good Fallout movie

She pretty condemned her own beliefs right there in that tweet. How funny.

He doesn't know who Kate@ImSpeaking13 is lol

I kind of do and what state that being Minnesota. I already know what her face looks like.

But why is *this* tweet of all tweets important?

• Nobody cares about it (5 comments only lol)
• It's no different to ye standard librul opinion

There's nothing we don't already know so the only reason to post it here would be for the reactions to it (which will just be "haha liberal retarded"). There's no point to posting the tweet other than for farming updoots.

I’m just showing that Feminist of today are so pro war that feminist of the past would condemn them. Tim pool brought it up when he had Richie mcguinness mom on his show

That film only works because the dog is a sentient mop.
In reality it would a two-headed pitbull called Nigel.

nigger you are on kiwi farms dot net
the entire reason this site exist is laughing at retards

 

[smartypants302]

She doesn’t follow the coverage of the war on the ground she rather sit in the ivory tower and watch people die.

I do believe that a not she.


Is there another reason why this conflict has attracted some kind of holy war fervor of troons other then it was the new egegore?

One notable post-nuclear book is Alas, Babylon, by Pat Frank. Been out many, many years, read it as a kid. Deals with people in a Florida town when a nuclear war happens.

Another interesting post-nuclear book is Tomorrow!, by Philip Wylie. Came out in 1954, set in two cities across a river from each other. Lot of buildup to the attack, lot of discussion about civil defense. One city is far better prepared than the other. The cities are hit by a missile, with predictable consequences re civil defense. We defeat the Soviets by exploding a nuclear submarine turned super-bomb in the Baltic Sea near Leningrad. Book ends by seeing both cities' reconstruction and recovery well under way.

Both these books are worth a read, readily available on Amazon.

We might also add "On the Beach" who was filmed in 1959 in Australia.

Amazing film and I'm glad I had the privilege of seeing it on an 70's era film print with warping and discoloration at an old movie palace in Hollywood.

Another great and undersung post-apocalyptic movie is Six String Samurai, which is probably the closest we'll get to a good Fallout movie. The perk of the same name in New Vegas is a call out to Buddy Holly in the movie.

The whole movie too is up for free on the distributor's youtube channel as well.

So the grind will continue....

The original book by Nevil Shute is extremely powerful.

Threads fucked up everyone of a certain generation in the UK as they showed it in schools in the 80s.

Anyone read war day or the 2020 commission report since those are my recommendations

 

[Feline Supremacist]

Isn't the Road Warrior post apocalyptic and post nuclear?

 

[redicart]

I did think about it. The problem is your interpretation of the word "spending".

The west isn't spending shit. It is dealing out surplus defense articles valued in those amounts. Articles that are already manufactured. Articles that aren't rusty pieces of shit in Siberia. It's a bookkeeping number and something to put in the paper to say "we're helping!" but ultimately meaningless. As if someone could accurately calculate the value of a used M113.

In exchange for these articles NATO is having their rival on the global stage and it's main threat get it's ass reamed by a bunch of wheat farmers and scattering the less rusty bits of their leftover Cold War antiques across the steppe. This is capability that Russia cannot afford to replace. This is their warchest. Countering it is the main reason the west has that stockpile of defense articles to begin with. Russia cannot afford to requip with T-90Ms and Armatas to go charging into Poland afterward. They can't afford to build another Moskva (or have a shipyard to do it). Once this war is over Russia is not going to have the ability to be a credible threat to the security of Europe this side of nukes. It is effectively military disarmament by proxy.

This is entire the motivation for giving the Ukrainians aid. They are ready and willing to take Russian scalps and smash the warchest. You bring up Vietnam. Yeah, it's like that. But the Ukes are the ones wearing black pajamas in the rice paddies and we are the ones sending AKs and MiGs and SAM systems into Haiphong Harbor. $40k ATGMs to cause $4.5m near-irreplaceable modern tanks to eject their turrets. Old Stingers to knock down $15m Ka-52s. John Deere tractors snatching abandoned multi-million dollar TELARs. How many T-90Ms and Ka-52s did Russia start the war with? How many can they produce a year? 10? 20? Who is the one losing economically here?

And all for essentially the cost of shipping and maybe a rounding error worth of new procurement in the defense budget. The Ukes kicking in Stugna-Ps, T-64BVs, Neptunes, and BTR-4s with their own homespun but also sizable defense industry is just a bonus. So I wouldn't bank on them running out of equipment and ammunition to fight this war. The west can ratchet it up any time they choose to. The US prepositioned European equipment was moved to Poland a month ago. It's just a matter of handing over the keys.

The US is not sending out some kind of cold war surplus. We either used it up in the past twenty fucking years in our own wars. Or we gave it away or sold it since 1991 to other nations. We aren't giving the Ukrainians Dragon missiles. We gave those bitches away a long time ago. We are not giving them worn out old and obsolete shit. We are giving them some of our war reserves. War reserves that we have to be replaced in an inflationary economy.

Not just Vietnam dumb ass. Afghanistan and Iraq. We are spending tons of money. It is hurting our economy. But, you want an outcome so you propaganda your ass off trying to get it.

What could happen is Russia just plods its ass off in the dumbest way possible. Throwing "rusted" shit into a fight and take its time. Sooner or later, Jimmy Carter is going to show up in Moscow talking about peace. Once Ukrainian refugees start to "settle" in, crime is more than likely going to start going up and the native Europeans are going to detest them. The more refugees that Russia helps into Europe only helps Russia not Ukraine.

In WWI the Germans were forced to retreat from Paris. They lost the war. It took four years. Are you in this for four years nigger? In 2001 the US took Kabul and the entire country of Afghanistan. Almost twenty years later we left in utter defeat. Are you into this for twenty years nigger? The Germans went up against an army that almost got its ass handed to them two years previous by Finland. They got all the way to Moscow. A few years later Russia was raping the shit out of Berliners. Are you in this for the long haul nigger?

Based on what I know of my own countrymen they get really wound up about things, cry havoc, and want war. After about a year they start yelling and asking why we are spending so much money on other peoples wars. The fucked part of my countrymen is they are so very gullible for propaganda. Ukraine is the current "Great Adventure", next year it will be something else. Time is not on Ukraines side.

God is on the side of everyone despite knowing the ending. Would you stop a play you wrote just because you knew it might not end well for any party?

Looks like dylan burns is over in the Ukraine fighting

Both sides artillery sucks. Russia in particular is proving to be so inaccurate the only way they seem to be able to hit anything is with a saturation strike. We are literally seeing a repeat of World War 1 tier trench warfare in places. If they were up against American Artillery they would be fucked by counterfire, where every American round would land exactly where it was intended too. Even the unguided ones, while the Russians would be left spraying impotently back and missing the US howitzers by a good 500 meters or more.

This war is going to come down to whoever shoots their rifles most accurately.

Okay, listen, this HAVE to be you, I have no other choice but believe this way.
