Re: UKRAINE WAR - 2024 thread

I think what I am annoyed with is the "Ukrainians deserved, if not outright forced it" attitude. And not much evidence for that "deserving" beyond repeating Russian statements. I remember Russia reporting that they found and destroyed CIA backed up bio weapon labors. (Well, they ...

Re: UKRAINE WAR - 2024 thread

As they invaded the area, wouldn't have Russia found and highly publicized the evidence for that genocide if it had happened?

Re: UKRAINE WAR - 2024 thread

Including that Zelensky hired them? Afterwards kill them, so that they can not "review" their confession, and do it "legally", so who wants to avoid questioning the credibility of those confessions, can rightfully do so.

Re: UKRAINE WAR - 2024 thread

Reading the last few pages, I feel I have to admit that I liked to play Panzer General and sometimes I name my space battleship Bismarc. We all know what that means. If I would try to summarize these pages, it would look like: Those Ukrainian nacis are sending the Africa Corps expeditionary force to...

Re: UKRAINE WAR - 2024 thread

It depends on alot of factors. if Russia near-Immediately apologized and offered a ceasefire for negotations to end the war, then possible nothing. However, if Russia handled it badly, ("it was his fault, he went into a war zone") and Greece declared war on Russia over it, then that could...

Re: UKRAINE WAR - 1 YEAR AND GOING.

Logistically this is already a world war. You can barely name a country that is not supplying either direct direct war materials or components to build said materials from.

"Russia has serious problems behind the facade" does not equal to "Russia is on the verge of collapse on the front".
Declaring the two as equal and then flaming I just do not feel right.

So, elimination, "russialization" or the hope that Russia will never go for a "wheat world monopoly"? Definitely not fair options for Ukraine.

Same with "Russia has the right to security". Who do not want, will not ask "Emm, what about Ukraine's right to security". Or with the Ukrainian genocide of Russian minority - that somehow failed to show up on the census. (Or maybe it is not logical to think that a minority being...

Re: UKRAINE WAR - 1 YEAR AND GOING.

How do they try to justify the "don't join NATO" part ? Because I don't see anything else that would stop Russia from trying again once they have rebuilt their military. Simple, in their interpretation NATO declared that it would not expand beyond Germany so now NATO is the evil aggressor...

Re: UKRAINE WAR - 1 YEAR AND GOING.

The Ukranian losses (manpower) seem to be out of proportion compared to the gains. How long can they keep this up? I was thinking whether there is any change in the Western military design to put the focus on quantity instead of quality (T-34, M4 anyone)? I can fully believe that an XY tank is as mu...

Re: Mace V Jango: No Reek

Without the reek separating Windu and Obi 1 and attacking Windu, he would have not tried to finish the kill.
Jumping for the lightsaber (instead of firing at Windu with missile/flamethrower/lasso/pistol) was very stupid. From the end of Windu's distraction he had no chance, jetpack or not.
