I found This, which is an 2009 video of a youtube channel called ricewynd playing I presume Star Trek Bridge Commander. The video is simply titled "Proof" and shows a federation ship against a marauder of some kind. Judging by the video content, the simple title, and the era it was uploaded, it was likely uploaded to a forum of some kind regarding this game. Thanks to his other content we already know that Fagzor Pig is a trekkie and horribly autistic, so this is likely a match.

The difference between that and Ukraine was Germany and their allies were very much a threat to America while Russia is a shadow of it's former self.

I think it's also because American MIC is geared towards dunking on sand people with expensive artisan-made materiel. Can't give Ukies 1000 of M1s you don't have engines for. Can't send Stingers you don't produce. Can't send hundreds of ATACMS when you refurbish/upgrade ~300/year.

Russia still is a threat in that they can nuke the US off the map. The problem is their power projection is all but gone. They don't have the navy they used to, and that's saying something

Russia doesn't need its fleet to project power in Europe or Central Asia. If anything, fleet consumes resources that are better spent on the Army/Air Force.
Scrapping/selling Soviet capital ships was one of the smartest decisions ever made (although they didn't scrap enough, Kuznetzov absolutely needs to go, Petr Velikiy needs to go, Pr. 1164 needs to go). Anything that can't dive and is larger than a frigate is a white elephant for Russia.

It's setting themselves up for long term pain. Not building or modernizing ships now will set themselves up for decline. I firmly disagree

Building frigates and nuclear subs is necessary, but trying to revive carrier program and sinking money into maintenance of legacy large ships is

If Russia wants to keep its empire intact, it needs a high-low mix. A frigate does not make a good command ship, too small. A Kirov is a airgroup killer, it's mere presence a deterrent. I agree on building more frigates and subs, but they need some heavy hitters to lead.

That's how fleets work. I'm a ship nerd man. If you want to be taken seriously as a navy, you need a variety of ships. Overemphasizing on one aspect fucks the balance of the entire fleet. You will get countered as the rest of the world adapts to your tactics. You need to be flexible.

But I agree on one thing. This PoS that their own crew finds cursed:


Needs replacement. Build a Charles De Gaulle sized CATOBAR carrier, make it nuke powered to lower maintenance, and get rid of this scrap heap

Also double post, but I find this interesting. A paper came out a month ago on the F-35 vs the A-10

https://www.thedrive.com/the-war-zone/a-10-vs-f-35-close-air-support-flyoff-report-finally-emerges

The tests took place in 2018 and 19 but weren't released until now. The A-10 actually still does pretty well in the ground role, better than the 35 in many aspects. LP has talked about both planes. Take your bets if he brings this up

People forget that we are removed from the days where the motivating pathology in the MIC was "Everything you know and love could be vaporized within the next instant. Try to resolve this, by any means necessary". If you've ever been blessed enough to have dealt with military equipment firsthand or at the very least know about milsurp, you'll know that outside of the skunkworks absolutely nothing in military service is artisanal.

At this point, is there any real evidence thar Russia could power project at all into Europe?

 

[Corn Flakes]

At this point, is there any real evidence thar Russia could power project at all into Europe?

Sure. The evidence is burning in fields all across southern Ukraine right now, thanks to Western aid. Russia has visually confirmed lost at least 2000 MBTs so far. That's more than all of Western Europe put together, and they have more still in storage to refurbish and rebuild. They still have substantial cruise missile production. And if there's any part of their arsenal that's probably still worth a damn it's their rocket forces. The ICBMs might be rusting, but mid-to-short range missiles are much easier to build nad maintain. They're not in any fit condition to strike against America but Europe is still very much free game for them.

We're lucky Russia is so fucking corrupt, because if Putin managed to put someone who actually knew who was doing in charge of their military, Europe would be in trouble. Had their gamble of pushing straight towards Kyiv to secure a quick victory actually worked and Ukraine had folded quickly, you can bet your ass they'd do what they've been doing for decades now: come up with a bogus casus belli, grab a chunk out of a border country just small enough to avoid a military response from the rest of the world, incorporate it as a new "republic" in the Russian Federation, then pick another target and do it all over again 5-10 years later. Russian irredentism is nothing new, and they don't even try to hide it.

Actually, Venezuela's Maduro seems to be taking a page out of Putin's book as he eyes Guyana's newfound oil. What are the NAFO guys saying about this one? Does it even register to them since it's not in Europe, or is it fine because Maduro is a leftist and therefore Their Guy?

The A-10 still underperformed in Desert Storm when all of the advantages where in its court. Then Air Power Survey is pretty damning more sorties than most other airframes more crew KIA and fewer targets killed.

They've taken what? 20% of Ukraine? It's right on their border and they are into year 3 of this?

I just don't see how it's possible for them to successfully invade a NATO nation.

As for Maduro, it will be impressive to see if he can get his starved military forces to do anything.

The argument has been the 35 does everything better. It doesn't. Even if the A-10 "underperforms", you're still replacing it in the ground attack role with a worse plane for it

I think in a way no matter how the wars goes through, it'll lead to a stronger Russian Army. Assuming Russia doesn't collapse or balkanize, which was more of a prospect a year ago, but becoming less likely as time goes on. One that will have to rebuild itself but stronger nonetheless with a stronger and more focused MIC behind it. Russian Army today, I'd argue is an improved military, still a ways to go though. One that is hemorrhaging equipment but nonetheless learning valuable lessons even if it fails at it multiple times beforehand.

In a way, and I know it may sound insane to some, I believe that if the Russians were able to take Kyiv in the beginning. If the Ukrainians didn't put up much of a fight, the rot within the Russian Army would still continue to fester and they would be worse off for it.

If they do take Ukraine, all that western tech will be theirs compared to the beginning, true. Also more land to mine and farm and stage nukes. Not to mention victory will boost morale. They WILL have taken significant losses to their navy however. The Ukrainians have gotten good hits in on that front.

 

[Exceptional individualist]

Oh for fuck's sake. Ani has a movie review. "Conspiracy" from HBO on the Wannsee Conference, where the Final Solution was put into orders. I watched the movie, it was fine, glossed over a lot. But Ani is here to tell us it's the "Scariest movie ever". Is this whole hour going to be "Hey, have you guys thought about us Jews? Holocaust, right? You owe us."? Probably. Either way I'm diving into it.

Edit: Two minutes in and he's showing B Roll of that anime where big tit highschoolers kill zombies. This is his super serious video about the bureaucratic decision to enact genocide.
View attachment 5533535

You know what really got me about that vid. The upload that “inspired” him to make it was 15 minute long. Ani has managed to stretch his version out to 4 times that.
I swear to god half of it is dead air. I assume he thinks we’re going to need a moment to dwell on his poignant statement every time he says “muh natzis bad”. If you cut out all the anime bs, the 10 minute intro and al the pauses it would only be 7 muinits of content, have some respect for your audience.

Also alien is scary because you don’t know what the monster is, that’s why half of the best horror films / stories are so spooky, the unknown. Sorry but the natzis aren’t scary and I really have whenever some nasal voiced tard tries to tell me bad mustache man is the sp00byist thing ever.

(Also fucking lol at the retard putting the soft core porn big titty anime in his super cereal holdout is super scary because it could happen again video)

Also also, imagine comparing China virus to a zombie plague, faggot.

I am of the opinion Russia will eventually win at a great cost. Mostly due to the fact that Ukraine's mostly held up by Western powers which are now currently diverting their attention elsewhere or stopped caring. Eventually the support will dry up and Ukraine will buckle. Russia would be quite scathed population wise but will be victorious regardless.

Honestly it depends how far their people are willing to go without buckling. Russians aren't exactly known for stable governments. If they keep it together, you might have something there.

Wait a minute, Animarchy is straight? I swear to god I thought he was a fag or a tranny chaser at least.

Either way I'm diving into it.

I saw the whole video, and yeah, I agree with Ani that is a good historical movie also a bit rare since it focus in a very mundane aspect of the Holocaust which was it's planning and makes it interesting and entertaining, but scary? No, that's quite the stretch for a regular person, maybe for terminally online lefty could be scary, since they think that all their "opponents" are just cartoonish villains and not regular people.

Also, lmao what's the music from TNO? One of the most (in)famous mods of Hearts of Iron IV, it even has its own thread here on the farms.

Like other posters have suggested there are other historical movies that could be considered scary, such as: Come and See or Son of Saul. To this list I would add Sometimes in April (also by HBO), about the genocide in Rwanda and The Killing Fields, about the Cambodian genocide.

Fun fact about The Killing Fields, the guy that plays Dith Pran, the Cambodian man that escapes the Khmer Rouge regime, was an actual survivor of said regime. His tale is quite harrowing, since not only he was obstetrician and gynecologist, he also wore glasses and if you know anything about the Pol Pot's regime then you know that the mere fact the wore glasses was a death sentence, so he had to hide the fact that he was a doctor and that he used glasses. But that's not the worst part, he together with this wife were sent to a concentration camp as part of the Year Zero campaign. His wife would die during childbirth together with the baby, his wife needed C-section but he was unable to perform it since that would have given away the fact that he was a doctor, meaning that all of them would have been killed.
