    It's only Czechoslovakia. Surely Hitler will stop there. No way he goes for Poland.
    Russia is getting SHREDDED by Ukriane

    Hope this helps

    Someone has failed to grasp that some of us are not at our first rodeo.

    When you can’t address what you’re being challenged with, you just poast FS shit like “Putin cocksuckers.”

    This thread has become a one person virtue signaling parade for 40 pages now.

    Give peace a chance. I remember when that was cool and not a sign of appeasement.

    None of us have Putin on our wall of great world leaders. On the other hand, PGOS will not concede that we are not Team America, World Police. We never voted for that, it's just used as an excuse to funnel money to the MIC. And when PGOS is asked to point to any success as Team America, World Police and how it benefits the US we just get ignored and he claims we are on Team Putin.
    Team America has managed to be a hegemon in a world with less conflict than at any other point in world history. Countries like Russia are trying to disrupt this. And no, dont equate middle East bullshit to a land war in fucking Europe.

    Team America has turned Japan and Germany from bloodthirsty conquerors to stable Democratic Allies

    Team America saved South Korea from the commie horde, and now they went from a backwater to a tech giant and crucial ally.

    Team America has had some blunders too, but even now countries like Vietnam are quasi allies because they fucking HATE china.

    Being a total isolationist is not the move. Bitch and moan all you want, but America is number 1 and the world knows that. They do not want to fuck around and find out.



    Your guy Joe has let the world go to shit. My guy Trump stopped wars and prevented wars.

    Yes and now we're short of all that stuff and production isn't what it used top be and will take years to catch up. Better hope China doesn't want to jump.

    Javelins are old as shit dude. 80s


    If the US is using javelins on China its because Chinese tanks are rolling around in Gorst.

    Hitler/Germany > Putin/Russia. When do we get to Soviet Union 2.0 with 5 million Russians under arms?
    We dont, and we should be thankful for that. Russia is likely done invading it's neighbors for good.

    If they had a successful Special Military Operation, Im sure a bunch of Stan countries, Moldova, etc. wouldve been next.
    Ok, Domino

    Lot's of military sh*t is from the 1980s or earlier. M1 Tank 1980. F-16s that Ukraine wants 1978. B-52s 1955. The Javelin anti-tank missile was introduced in 1996. Other than that, you pretty much didn't make any point or sense at all.

    Bot and I have tried to help you see through the bullshit. We have posted a TON of information from a ton of different sources.

    And we are the ones in denial?

    Fuck off.
    I didn’t name names.

    When you can’t see the difference between Team America and conflicts like WWI and WWII I don’t know what to tell you.

    I’ve had enough of your “3000+ Russian tanks destroyed” sources.

    I’m rooting for peace. You’re believing the BS that this will weaken Putin. Remember when the Left mocked Romney in 2012 for saying Russia was our greatest threat?

    Where did they all go?
    Chickenhawks can't cheer for peace.

    No profit in pacifism.

    No it's not. Poland was never in a position to beat back Germany. The Oregon blitzkrieg was new to warfare.

    None of that shit is part of the modern US arsenal except for maybe some Abrams that are so upgraded they don't even resemble the old shit. Abrams are in the process of getting phased out.

    You probably think the M16 is cutting edge.

    You probably think that the strawman is cutting ass. You think we sent 1996 javelins to the Ukraine? And its not from the 80s. All of our stuff if upgraded. On a B-52 there probably isn't an original bolt on the plane, but we still use it. Same with the F-16s the Ukrainians want. Your original point is that we are sending out of date equipment. We aren't and the stuff we are sending will need to be replaced. We are years from replacing the MI.

    It is cutting edge. It's just 4" shorter barrel with a collapsible stock. A simple barrel and stok swap and it's same same. Front line in the entire military right now. New gun not in service yet. You are stupid.

    Weird thread going on here. Even the dimmest of bulbs in America must be seeing that we should not send one more fucking dollar to Ukraine now. Jesus. If it's a whoosh thread, well OK. But this PGOS cunt needs to own up to it.

    Sad to see so called Americans bend over backwards to defend Russia of all fucking places.
    Welcome to 2015 Hillary

    Get some new material

    Russia Russia Russia led to covid covid covid led to Zelensky lighting his country on fire. Allegedly

    Maybe you and Vindman can get cocktails
    2015 Hillary was grasping at straws. It was fake news

    Russia actually invading their neighbors? Another Tuesday in world history
    Not under Trump

    If you weren't such a fucking blockhead you might get a clue

    Vindman and his ilk attacked American democracy just like they accused Trump

    I support America. Go suck Zelensky dick

    It all fake news. Hello?
    No shit. We agree on Trump.

    If you werent such a blockhead, youd understand that sometimes you cant have constant wet dreams about Trump and realize that life goes on
    So go ahead and reward the assholes who did it. Are you getting a cut or do you suck cock for free?


    It's all fucking fake.

    What is fucking fake about Russia being a constant menance to the world? Explain away that one...

    The isnt the first rodeo
    Ironic, because this describes you perfectly on this topic


    How so?

    Who has defended anything that Russia has done?
    A good number of people in this thread
    Provide a specific example. Sounds like there’s a lot to choose from so should be easy.

    Acknowledging the realities of the situation as it stands is not defending anything. You refusing to do that is just fandom, not analysis.

    Lots of "Russia had no choice, NATO is expanding" sob stories, without understanding why NATO exists in the first place

    Lots of "bio weapon labs" takes to justify the invasion

    Lots of "Ukraine is full of Nazis" takes because they have a few groups of paramilitary Neo Nazis like every other country, including Russia


    All excuses the Russians themselves use to justfiy invasion and genocide.

    No one but a select few buys it
    Many on here think it’s an unwinnable situation as it stands. You think it can be done with an unlimited budget and timeline and that we should be spending money for punitive punishment.
    Disagree.

    Ive said several times this is peanuts to the US and it doesnt involve US troops


    Hope this helps.

    It doesn't.

    Allowing Russia to continue to invade and bully their neighbors will cost FAR more in the long run.

    And might actually involve US troops doing the fighting and dying

    If we can supply Ukraine with older weapons and let them do the fighting against the Russian horde, why not?

    This is what Bot and I have been saying

    It sucks this happened, it sucks Biden and the Dems routinely have this shit happening because they dont take hardline stances, everything about it sucks. But the milk is spilled, and Russia is getting a lesson in fuck around and find out.

    You are so delusional you called my picture of blown up Russian armour propaganda.
    Ok they had the lesson now lets negotiate a damn end to this so innocents on both sides stop dying... this song describes it best...

    https://youtu.be/LQUXuQ6Zd9w
    Just surrender the Rhineland comrade. It's the proper thing to do... for peace.
    In 2022 Ukraine and Russia were making significant progress in negotiating an end to this War. The key was Russia pulling back and Ukraine renouncing NATO ambitions. Boris Johnson flew to Ukraine and blew it up. Why won't either you or PGOS address this?
    Why does Russia have the right to dictate a sovereign nation's alliances under the threat of invasion and violence?

    Use your big boy words.
    Let’s say, for the sake of discussion, Mexico joined an alliance with a China or a Russia. Then let’s say that 3rd party decided to put weapons systems on our southern border.

    How would you expect the US to respond? Would you support, say, South Africa saying the US has no right to dictate Mexico’s alliances?

    Run me through the thought-tree there. TIA.


    This is what about ism. Hth.

    But let's play the game. Why would Mexico want to align itself with either Russia or ChYnA?
    No, it is not. It is a principled analogy based on a principle you espoused that “[x-country does not] have the right to dictate a sovereign nation's alliances under the threat of invasion and violence?”

    Please to be defending said principle, or give valid reasons why y-variable might justifiably cause a deviation from principle.

    Thank you.


    It is, in that regardless of how the US would act, it is a principle. That's the definition of what about ism.

    ATBS, I said I would play, now explain, why would Mexico want to align itself with either of those countries(existing) alliances?
    Hypocrisy.

    You can't move on to discussing the terms of y-variable when you haven't set the predicate for why, or how, a deviation from x-principle might be justified.




    No country or man can pass the "he who has not sinned casts the first stone" test. That doesn't make right or wrong any less a thing.

    Unless your a moral relativist but I doubt that's your position.

    This is textbook whataboutism. Again, I've been arguing with Kremlin and CCP trolls for 20+ years now.

    I'm pro American unlike PGOS so when I engage in whataboutism it's to make a point, not condemn America

    The US has a long standing no malarkey rule for the western hemisphere

    Grenada, where we called in Clint Eastwood, Nicaragua, El Salvador, Peru, and Chile among others have met the CIA when the Soviets meddle

    Cuba was lost and democrats started supporting the Sandinista and Venezuela commies which makes things more difficult

    Note that the democrats party has not been outlawed even though they support our enemies

    Nobody was easier on the Soviets than Teddy and the gang

    It all matters for a long walk to get perspective

    America, like every country ever, has interests. It deviates in that it's interests are guided by principles to some degree rather than binary self interest.

    My argument is that it's in our interest to strategically, and marginally, support Ukraine.

    You can disagree.

    So is the Ukraine shredding this week or strategically losing?

    Hard to keep track

    Russia is inching closer to...capturing the 57th biggest city in Ukraine
    Battles aren't fought over the population of the citizens, they are fought for strategic geographic positions in order to win the next battle.

    @PurpleThrobber doesn't want to take Vantage for the campgrounds.
    Sure.gif

    Nothing strategic about Kyiv, Kherson, Kharkiv

    Explain the strategic importance of...bakhmut
    Strategic enough for Zelensky to throw thousands of soldiers there to die. I’ll take his word for it.
    They held off Russia for 9 months there.

    Whether or not they use the opportunity to counter attack soon will make or break that decision
    Thanks for making my point. If it didn’t matter they wouldn’t have fought for 9 months.
    Why not? Theyve bled the Russians on a scale of 5 to 1 and tied up a lot of Russias best troops there

    They are going to counter attack soon. Lipo
    Tbf the Ukrainians need like 8 to 1 to successfully break the red army.

    Both sides are hoping this battle will attrition the other into oblivion.

    The Ukrainians hope that they kill enough Russians to destroy both political and strategic support.

    And the Russians are hoping to force the Ukrainians into a single point defense that saps them of their professional troops.

    Either way the US wins imo.

    I came to the thought today that old school covert support would be fine

    It's the grandstanding and all the morons crowing about how America and Europe need to do whatever it takes.

    Just the worst fucking people. Literally like Putin

    Not my team. No longer my country
