Which makes me wonder how everyone is gonna react when Russia publicly strings up hundreds of drone operators, foreign mercenaries, and officers. I swear. Drone operators in particular are going to be treated like snipers in WWII who got captured with explosive ammunition.
For better and worse they (NATO) have always taken pains to escalate slowly against Russia. This enabled Russia to steadily recover from the blunders early in the war but it has also tied Russia's hands regarding escalation. If you had dozens of Bradleys rolling into Kursk in 2022 Putin might have pushed the button and certainly would have ordered a general mobilization. Now it's seen as a manageable crisis and the response is comparatively muted. For America this gradual approach is ideal because it weakens Russia and binds Europe to the American side as long as the war continues. For the Ukrainians this approach is less palatable because they simply don't have the economy or demographics to continue a war of attrition for another five years (i.e. the length of the Iran-Iraq war) so they constantly push the envelope hoping either for a breakthrough or for a Lusitania moment after Russia retaliates.
A-10's are garbage and only usable if your facing sand niggers armed with with AK's. It only lives on today because of pork and political reasons.
This is the most appalling part of the war - the psychopathic drone operators.
you just reminded me of this channel im in, honestly forgot when or why i joined, but it's basically what you said except replace orcs with hohols, VSUshnikovs, banderaites, etc
Because it feeds into their myth that the RUAF are close to collapse and that Russian troops are low quality as a whole.
Ukraine has the second largest stockpile of Soviet equipment, are they deliberately using Russian markings and uniforms?
Yes, Kiev is fighting Russia/Novorossiya. America is fighting Europe and Europe-based companies.
I can't say for sure but some have made this claim.
Probably.
Wearing the uniforms is not a violation provided you wear your own underneath. This was made explicitly clear at nuremberg. Technically neither is using vehicles. Its considered a legitimate military deception so long as its used for the purposes of things like surprise attacks or infiltrating enemy lines. Attempting to use them for a false flag attack on the other hand is another matter and absolutely is a war crime
Reminds me of the book Player of Games, where an entire civilization uses a mega-chess equivalent wargame tournament to determine political positions every N year. Didn't work out for them either. Chess is not a great predictor of military strategy. Maybe it was back in the days, but modern chess is deep, deep autism, way too specific to chess than to be applicable to the real world.
Precisely. The only excuse one can have for not hating the USA is a lack of education.The US Govt has a history of not giving a crap, much like Israel. Nuking civilian centres, carpet bombing entire countries, spraying entire jungles with Agent Orange. While the press says "dictator of the month" is a lunatic, the US Govt is projecting.
To further illustrate this point, the biggest losses for both the Ukrainian and Russian air forces have been among their Su-25s, a plane that fulfils the same combat role as the A-10 and was developed at about the same time as the A-10.
We have detailed accounts of quite a few of Napoleon's chess games, since it was popular at the time to record your games turn by turn. He was ok, neither particularly bad nor particularly good.
This is overly optimistic. Bakhumt, Avdiivka, and the new north offensive have all occurred when the Ukies were actively feeding reinforcements into those battles and we still saw major breakthroughs/advances. And that was with the Ukies sending some of their best units. I'm not saying a collapse will occur, but to say it can't is over optimistic.
It sure is hilarious that the best "warcrimes" you can come up with are. One, nuking the Japanese, which was done before laws regarding war crimes was passed. Two, use of area bombardment, which isn't even a war crime. Three, use of agent orange, which again isn't even a war crime. I'd expect someone to mention the torturing of Iraqi insurgents or something similar, not utter nonsense.The US Govt has a history of not giving a crap, much like Israel. Nuking civilian centres, carpet bombing entire countries, spraying entire jungles with Agent Orange. While the press says "dictator of the month" is a lunatic, the US Govt is projecting.
