Can we have another Russia war in Ukraine thread?
Or is the mod hassle and poor throwing outweighing any interesting news potential of it?

Re: Israel orders mass 'evacuation' from Northern Gaza, humanitarian crisis certain to ensue
*walks into thread* *sees meme comparing Israelis taking cameras to the SS* Yeah, okay, I mean Israel is committing genocide, but I feel like this is still just a tad beyond the pale. Why is it beyond the pale? Just because they won't do the comparable act of putting them in gas chambers? Is that t...

Indifference. I have zero streaming services, and don't have time to watch either

Re: UKRAINE WAR - 2024 thread
The US Army, hopefully. We certainly spend enough on it. The problems with this are many: 1. Risk of runaway nuclear escalation makes this a non-starter; 2. There is a stark divide in the US national security apparatus about whether opposing Russia is the priority or the real conflict is with China...

Re: Israel orders mass 'evacuation' from Northern Gaza, humanitarian crisis certain to ensue
The IDF statement on the WCK attack: https://www.idf.il/190614 It's obvious that that's just sacrificing a few scapegoats on the altar of public relations. According to that, the IDF had determined that there had been two gunmen in the aid trucks the convoy had been unloading and they had assumed t...

Re: Israel orders mass 'evacuation' from Northern Gaza, humanitarian crisis certain to ensue
What I don't get is, how does Israel benefit from that? I mean the news organisations have for months been pointing out how much of a powder keg the whole region is and how many powers have it out for Israel. Israel doesn't; Netanyahu does. The instant the war's over, he loses an election and goes ...

Re: Haiti collapse
The UN stepped in as a result of the 2004 Haitian coup d'état. This is no different conceptually. Do I expect anything to happen? Probably not. I don't remember the UN being much use during that 2004 mess. I could be wrong. Either way, I do not see the UN going in with "peacekeepers" in a...

@J Well, costing Russia a billion in rebuilding but losing ten billion USA support isn't a great trade, but since the gop is currently blocking the support anyway... Outside of pure rebuilding costs, and short term disruption of Russian military supplies, I'm not sure that damaging oil supplies and ...

So 50% of the two battalions. Would you like to estimate the number of fascists in the russian army, you know, for balance? :roll: You'd have a hard time doing that easily, since unlike Ukraine, the Russian military isn't lousy with troops who feel comfortable openly adorning their uniforms with fa...

I don't think there's ever going to be actual peace , as opposed to the sort of peace you get where everyone's busy rearming, until and unless Putin is removed from office in favour of someone who might plausibly come to the negotiating table in good faith. Why would the Ukrainians sue for peace wh...

Re: UKRAINE WAR - 2024 thread
Reading through the above, seems more likely to be a 2:1 ratio. Which is also the NATO ratio for aggressor: defender with Russia being the aggressor. Possibly slightly complicated by injury patterns and new roles. Minefields tend to lead to missing feet, but that wouldn't impede a drone pilot. Doubt...

Re: UKRAINE WAR - 1 YEAR AND GOING.
Ending the war is not Ukraine's choice to make, it's Russia's. They can end it any time they want by leaving Ukraine. Is this a concession that Ukraine has no path to ending this war via victory at arms? I do think EnterpriseSov should/could make their wider position clear. I'll go first: My views ...
