Welcome to the Hardcore Husky Forums. Folks who are well-known in Cyberland and not that dumb.

Can we offer this Ukranian solider a scholarship?

    You cannot be taken seriously and only play the fool when resorting to "attempts" at insults when engaging in adult discussion.

    No, because if the West is retrofitting a T55 - it's probably going to have state of the art thermals.

    The kind Russia can't really domestically create.

    People in Russia are taking pictures of the T55s on the move lol




    edit: quoting on vanilla is glitchy as hell recently

    So the answer to the question is actually yes, the same soviet T55
    (With possible upgrades , armor, and a new name)

    Good lord, do you really believe russia is going to run decrepit antiquated equipment onto the battlefield knowing that Ukraine has upgraded the same tanks?
    Doesn't Russia have any intelligence?

    If they have lost all their new tanks what makes them think 1950s crap isn't going to become scrap metal faster?
    And don't you think the russian military knows how to retrofit their own tanks if they were that desperate?

    How do you know when/ where those pictures were taken?
    (Clearly its a picture of an old tank on a train)

    Have you heard of propaganda? Fog of war? Misinformation?

    Do you know what the 2012 smith mundt modernization act is/did? (Please read it carefully)





    I agree, quoting on this system is frustrating

    That is a very sobering assessment of the precarious situation Ukraine finds itself in. They have done an amazing job militarily in this David vs. Goliath situation, but when David is out of stones and you keep sending Goliaths shit usually doesn't go too well. I have been happy to see Russia exposed for the bumbling inept dolts that they apparently are, but I sort of always knew that Putin would never let this go, and population and military capacity would one day catch up to Ukraine. This is Alamo shit. The Texans fought valiantly but at some point the ammo ran low and 4000 vs. 200 just gets overwhelming.
    Russia is a slow moving, inefficient giant blob, like always. The blob doesn’t care about losses and will eventually get its shit together, like always.

    PGOS Putinexpected them to move like seal team 6 into Kiev and then the English Channel in a few months if we didn’t intervene.
    So there's that.
    conveniently ignored by the Russian dicksuckers
    Seems like someone is hoping to jump the line. Just what it seems like. Don’t twist.

    Fixed that for Checkers 45 pages back.

    McGovern wanted America to come home and take care of Americans

    I will never apologize for supporting that. EVER

    He was America First before it was racist. He was UBI before Yang was born. Instead of the massive waste of the welfare state we have now

    And he wasn't a waffle



    They were.

    They want Trump.

    Business is HORRIBLE.

    Ask CNN.

    It’s cute that PGOS thinks every Ukrainian soldier is there because they want to be. When this thing first started their military was stopping buses and cars headed out of Ukraine and pulling all military age men off.

    But Still.

    Tough week for the Russian sympathizers and enablers

    Even DeSantis read the room and took the reasonable stance

    https://nypost.com/2023/03/22/desantis-brands-putin-a-war-criminal-who-should-be-held-accountable-for-ukraine-invasion/?utm_source=reddit.com


    He doesnt think Ukraine should have an open check, which is fine, but he supports them

    Cope.

    Flip flop = reasonable stance

    DeSantis needs to worry less about the gays IMO. That shit has sailed.

    If he focuses on secure borders and the economy he probably wins

    I believe Ukranians have the right to defend themselves. Fuck off you fucking genocide apologist


    The Ukrainians decided to defend their country against invaders even at the cost of their own blood. That's their right.

    When you're reduced to slogans, you've lost the case.

    He took a shot and went for the kill early. Then realized that wasn’t going to work and went back to what Russia is good at, artillery and being able to outlast the other side.
    Sure. I'm happy to watch Russia expend another generation to try and subdue Ukraine.
    No matter how many Ukranians die in the process.

    Sound policy. Unfortunately real warfare is not a video game.
