Re: Millions of us might be **** if we ignore the Russian-Ukraine war

Sort of makes a thermobaric bomb look like a firecracker doesn't it.

Re: Millions of us might be **** if we ignore the Russian-Ukraine war

China knows well that an escalation to nuclear war in Ukraine (read Europe) will lead to it being the unwilling recipient of a great amount of nuclear fallout. The result of this would be, of course, catastrophic so better to adopt a pragmatic "non-aligned" or even anti position on Russia rather tha...

Re: Millions of us might be **** if we ignore the Russian-Ukraine war

I can't seriously believe this will ever happen. I'm tempted to guess this was the Mongolian way of giving Putin the finger.

Actually, if they are tough males of the Mongol bent I may feel more concerned about these than the present mobiks. :ymdevil:

Re: Chaos in USA

Historically open carry was the standard, concealed carry was considered the choice of potential criminals. There are still States where open carry is normal in rural areas, I have even been to a bar in a small town in Wyoming where there is still a notice at the doorway saying check your gun before...

He's got to have a really good insurance policy, perhaps Vlad foolishly put the instructions to down MH17 in writing.

Re: Millions of us might be **** if we ignore the Russian-Ukraine war

I'm wondering how a fighter could hit a drone by impact and still RTB. A bit more than a birdstrike.

Re: Chaos in USA

“It joins an already existing, pretty robust literature showing that politics [and] polarization do have life-and-death consequences,” Montez says. Might be interesting to see a similar graph of health resources per head of population. Red States tend to be more rural and have greater area to popula...

Re: Millions of us might be **** if we ignore the Russian-Ukraine war

It seems we could be seeing things warming up on the Kinburn Peninsula, this may be a real push or it may simply be a ploy in an attempt to reduce the pressure on Bakhmut. As you can see from previous posts I have long favoured a move East from Kinburn as a useful move for the Ukrainians. Let's look...

Re: Millions of us might be **** if we ignore the Russian-Ukraine war

Fox, following this rabbit-hole would cause us to get into a discussion of ethics not only in combat but in life itself which is a much deeper and more involved subject than we could ever investigate on this site never mind in this particular post so better to stop here. We have both been in positio...

Re: Millions of us might be **** if we ignore the Russian-Ukraine war

Fox your convoluted viewpoint is BS. The poor guy is standing in a shallow hole, possibly dug by himself because the soil is freshly disturbed. He has clearly been in captivity long enough to get a cigarette and start smoking it, if the Russians have not searched him thoroughly by now what the hell ...

Re: Millions of us might be **** if we ignore the Russian-Ukraine war

Fox, with the Bakhmut situation added to the general picture in Ukraine there are a hundred different ways the play could proceed. I strongly suspect that the future will be a matter of taking advantage of unexpected events as they occur. For example, Ukraine may have a long term plan for a countero...

Re: Millions of us might be **** if we ignore the Russian-Ukraine war

There are video clips of the execution itself available - I have not watched them. From reports the soldier knew he was to be executed because the shots occurred so quickly after he said "Salve Ukraine". It appears that the rifles were already trained on him as he spoke. Not only video evidence of w...

Re: Millions of us might be **** if we ignore the Russian-Ukraine war

I personally don't think they would go for full encirclement because of the losses it would cause, chopping off the pincers and extracting the meat would be enough. Being forced out of Bakhmut with losses would be a huge disaster for the Russians and it would put Putin's power on the ropes. It all d...

Re: Millions of us might be **** if we ignore the Russian-Ukraine war

Denys Davidov reports that Ukraine has moved reinforcements into positions around Bakhmut, in a wide arc from the North through the West to the South West, which could threaten the Russ/Wagner forces from the rear. I have been nervous about Bakhmut for several days but could not believe that an army...

What do they mean by Air Defense, the aircraft was sitting on the ground when it was hit by a ground based unit. Perhaps they need some Rock Apes.

Re: Millions of us might be **** if we ignore the Russian-Ukraine war

A very clever strategy, spread your own troops more thinly while bringing in more fresh combatants against yourself. Never mind, this will only take three days.
