Russia vs Ukraine anyone watching this ignite?

[BigRed]

that is a lot of money.

Not when it is free.

 

[cobber]

So Putin leveled a shopping mall with a ballistic missile?

 

[BugI02]

I'm sure those funds were legitimately earned through wise investments - just like with our politicians

 

[KG1]

Tit for tat I guess. I think it was reported upthread that one of the most combat capable Ukraine brigades were wiped out by Russian troops in another city.

 

[DadSmith]

I would love to have my own BTR-80.

I've seen a few videos showing farmers towing tanks, and various APCs ... but where are the Russian crews?

They just left on foot and left farmers take their vehicles worth millions without fighting?

Russia doesn't use them antiques do they? (Mig 21)?
I question this as propaganda.

 

[DoggyDaddy]

Tit for tat I guess.

I still want to know what "tat" is. Because I want to get some so I can trade it for the other...

Watch a T72 turret head for orbit after an AT hit at <50 yards.

The origional panzerfaust took a lot of guts to use, like that distance, it was "whites of eyes".

I'd like to see what a whole brigade of the "other" looks like. Gotta be a mountain bragade.

LMAO!! Comedian Lewis Black talked about trusting our government. They use to teach us children to duck under our desks in a nuclear attack. Our government told children that in case of a thermal nuclear war, a WOODEN desk would save us.....lmao.

The desk won't save you from the nuke.
But if the nuke hits else ware, it might be a good idea in case something comes down from the ceiling, such as a vent cover, light assembly, etc
Same for a tornado.

And so it begins.

 

[cobber]

I think the gist is, they run out of gas. And the bored hungry Russians inside abandon them

If they're anything like the old timey Soviet soldiers, they're draining out anything remotely intoxicating and drinking it. Once this is all over the missing soldiers may show up, terminally inebriated, in ditches and barns throughout Ukraine.

 

[BigRed]

And so it begins.

Indeed.

 

[rooster]

Wonder why this Ukrainian politician kept their mattress money in dollars and not euros or rubles. Maybe because the people paying them pay in dollars….

Just speculation of course.

 

[ancjr]

I got word that Jeb Bush successfully invaded and conquered all of Ukraine today.

Did he bore them to death?

 

[gregr]

I think this is a good explanation for why someone has to do something about Putin and this naked Russian aggression. The same thing has been said over the years about Hitler; that had it been dealt with earlier, that it may not have erupted into a world war. Pacifists and isolationists will poo-poo this, but it has merit.

This is how World War III begins

Providing Kyiv with+ighter jets and other weapon systems could help turn the tide. Refusing to do so may only prolong Ukraine’s agony.

I think this is a good explanation for why someone has to do something

This is the kind of rationale that leads us into gun bans, unjust wars, and economic catastrophe. Nothing good is ever accomplished in the name of "doing something."

Either you have very easily defined goals, in which you take actions in pursuit of those goals, or you end up doing dumb ****.

We have easily defined goals, the defense of NATO partners. Russia has not hit NATO partners yet. Therefor no action is necessary. When or if they do, then taking corrective actions makes all the sense in the world. Until that point, you are watching Russia deplete their military assets and weaken themselves further and further. It would be stupid to get involved when they're still willingly flushing their military assets down the toilet without us having to expend any lives.

Ron Paul: It All Comes Back To NATO – OpEd

When the Bush Administration announced in 2008 that Ukraine and Georgia would be eligible for NATO membership, I knew it was a terrible idea. Nearly two decades after the end of both the Warsaw Pact and the Cold War, expanding NATO made no sense. NATO itself made no sense. Explaining my “no”...

Anybody pick up on the antisemitism angle yet?

We can't disband NATO. Who would take the dollar in trade ?
