Ukrainian Defensive War against the Russian Invasion - Mark IV: The Partitioning of Discussion

You are right. Humans are not the type of animal to have a predisposition to fight, WW1 and WW2 were flukes. I know when someone is fighting me I think to myself I can't afford to fight the guy who is attacking me he is slightly bigger and has a better looking bank account, he has better endurance then I do especially when engaged in a brawl with 50 other people some who are allied with me. What retarded point are you trying to make a global conflict is not really a choice it is just what happens when you have people who disagree with each other. I will bet my life that WW3 will happen, most likely within my lifespan it is probable to occur because humans like fighting over shit.
You can have the urge to fight all you want. But you have to have the capability to actually fight. No one except the US has this. Russia doesn't and you are seeing this lack of capability in action now. Depending on your opponent to be weaker than you is not a good strategy. This is what the Russians did.

The only person being retarded here is you. You are watching Russia lose to a dirt poor Eastern European country. How they fuck are they going to fight a global conflict when they can't even deal with a small regional one? Russia isn't a superpower anymore. It's not even a regional power. It's a minor regional power at best.

China's military is no better. It's a bunch of old Russian stuff or upgraded Russian hardware. Their economy isn't doing so well. The sanctions placed on Russia would topple China in 6 months to a year. Their navy is still considered a brown water navy. Russia's fail war in Ukraine has caused them to rethink screwing with Taiwan. Taiwan had 70 years to prepare. Ukraine had a little less than a decade.

Everyone else is shit tier and can't fight a global conflict. Meaning no WWIII.
I remember reading recently that Wagner was trying to recruit from outside of Russia, imcluding in the US. Wait a minute, Wagner recruits from prisons, someone just posted Chris' bond. You better start running Judas Connor Moon, Chris and his Wagnerite warband are comin' for you!
They ran ads on pornhub. It actually happened. Join Wagner. It's the best way to die. I guess that's what they said.
It's 120mm, same calibre as NATO. The difference is that the barrel is rifled, so the tank can fire HESH, and it uses two-part ammunition so that the propellant can be stored separately, in water-filled containers to reduce the chance of fire if the bins take a hit.

It's been recognised since that HESH isn't worth the faff.

e: the rifled gun was also cheaper, because the UK had already developed it for the Chieftan. Buying in a foreign gun would have been more expensive, and at the time there was no actual compatibility between the US and other NATO members. The Chally2 had to maintain backwards compatibility with the Chally1 for supply and maintenance reasons.
The Challenger has a smooth bore option from what I heard in a video about the tank. I don't think it happened till the Challenger 2. I think Challenger 3 is supposed to be smoothbore.

Only youtuber I usually go-to is Perun, though a lot of that is because I actually find dry shit like geostrategy and military procurement/logistics interesting. He also tends to be fairly balanced all things considered.

Perun is the only Youtuber that doesn't require an entire mine of salt when you watch his content (or an entire glass of scotch). He sources his shit, and while I don't agree with everything he says or concludes, but he always makes a solid case for how he got there. He also doesn't "uh" "um" and "..." through a Pradva/CNN article while providing the most tepid takes and equivocations while trying to hit the 10 minute algorithm mark.

And while he's got a Ukraine bias he's not a Yooknik and is able to acknowledge when Russia does something right/Ukraine done fucked up.

He's also the only person I've seen manage not not make a PowerPoint presentation a snoozefest. It's good for car trips or flights.

Yeah, the Challenger Lethality Improvement Programme, or CLIP. It was just a single tank, as far as I am aware. Of course, the Challenger upgrades have all been a gigantic clusterfuck, because it wouldn't be the UK if things went smoothly anywhere in government.
 
Against another tank the Chally is (ideally) going to be shooting L27 penetrators.
Rifled guns aren't as effective as smoothbores at shooting kinetic penetrators, but they can still fire them and would still cause more damage to an enemy tank than a HESH.
Provided the HESH hits the parts of the tank protected with composite armor i.e. turret face and upper hull glacis. Shots to the sides and rear will be very unpleasant even to the most current tanks.
(now the Wagnerites & Mobiks hunkered down in a pillbox or behind a concrete barricade on the other hand, might seriously need to worry about HESH)
Since most vehicles that are not a tank don't have composite armor HESH (HEP) will destroy them just as easily as bunkers and earthen fortifications.

But since the only country still making HESH for the English rifle 120mm cannon is India for the past few decades. Ammo availability or lack there of is going to render this line of discussion rather moot very quickly.

I know it’s the bloody Warthog Channel which is concentrated levels of Holhol autism… but are those actual fucking Studebakers? I’m actually seeing that, right? 1942 era Lend Lease gear towing artillery?
Honestly with regards to straight up WW2 vehicles being pushed into action, my bets the only way this will actually happen is part of some two bit "womans battalion" style propaganda desperation to shame conscripts into fighting harder and to show how super duper existential the war is to the serfs

Odds are they will then be kept well away from the front lines for "morale" purposes (all while the government retard who planned the operation pockets absurd amounts of money for organising this shitshow and sends glowing reports to moscow as to how super-duper effective this has been for the conscripts fighting spirit) until some conscripts pull the shortest of short straws and are ordered to drive T-34s to the front lines against Leopards and Challengers solely so their mangled remains can be used for propaganda photos

They are sended to be used n a parade in Moscow, not to fight a battle in Bakhmut.

Probably - I guess because decorations on platforms. And ruzzia used parade-ready T-90 on frontline some time ago...

I don't even know what you're arguing. Fuck the US.
A lot of the shit going down in the US right now, such as Antifa and BLM, are funded by China. The US elite is far more buddy-buddy with the Chinese elite than at first glance, especially on matters of economics. Not for nothing have there been several controversies with the Bidens getting money from China. The migrant caravans that emerged during the Trump presidency were funded by Soros-affliated NGOs. There's a whole range of "activist" organizations that aren't tied to any one state in the world, such as the WEF.

I mention China and NGOs to bring up the fact that this isn't (just) a US thing or a NATO thing. It's an entire network of globalized elite power schemes and simultaneous geopolitical competition and cooperation. And having studied history, I have seen no evidence that this network is in any way immune to disruptions derived from internal developments within various states, especially given the Internet, which is by far and away the most important thing humanity ever invented after the steam engine.
 
are funded by China
holy shit what absolute fucking cope, just blame the Jews like a normal person, pretending China has somehow been pushing for LGBTQIAP+ cultural dominance for 30 fucking years when they force Disney to photoshop gays kissing in their movies and were barely anything but rice farmers when Hong Kong was taken back is ridiculous.

You retard gorilla niggers drinking the boomer coolaid and blaming everything on communism are fucking sad.
 
Russian goverment is still clinging to their gay op, even after it was geolocated to Donbabwian territory that has been held since pre-2022. Screenshot_20230328-111218_Twitter.jpg

When you try to posion enemy you don't drink the poison yourself. And you will try to prevent own kids from drinking it.

For example: as a guy from Bosnia I will be perfectly happy with AIDS skyrocketing in Serbia (didn't like them at all) and it will be possible that I will support legalization of krokodil in Serbia but I don't want to see this in Bosnia.
 
From what I hear, (((they))), whoever they are, are pushing the gay shit on the West exactly why it sucks and makes the west look gay, but (((they)))) hardblock that cancerous ideology shit on their own turf. It's not just China, Russia and the ayrabs have also been known to throw secret money at all the ultratoid lunatics fags for them to keep causing a scene for gay nigger rights.

Also someone said Soros and China are working together? From what I recall, Soros hates China to death. So who knows what the fuck is going on in those secret world dominator orgies between them.
 
While I can have some sympathy for Null's unique situation, his points are not new or original

"I hate this imperialistic power and feel not free in it, so I'm going to support another imperialism larper with even more draconian laws and less freedom?"

For a country like Ukraine, there is no choice. In this war, they can either be a slave to US or ruZZia, and any Ukrainian citizen with half a brain knows which side to take. You can take a car ride from Belarus (ruZZia slave) to Poland (US slave) and see the drastic difference in life quality and freedom.

US has massive flaws, but comparing the level of actual freedom it gives you to adversaries (ruzzia, china, iran) is like night and day
