War in Ukraine

[NorthDallas40]

8 powered wheels with massive mud terrain tires mounted to them.

It’ll work better than you think it will.

Same configuration as our Stryker and they work fine. These vehicles aren’t as heavy as a MBT thus the distributed pressure by the road wheels isn’t so high that it warrants full tracks.

Wheeled personnel carriers. How is that going to work right now with the mud they have right now.

It's not going to be muddy forever.

Ras isn’t the military expert he thinks he is.

I'm no military expert, but I know Ukraine has been asking for APCs, and that they are planning an offensive in the coming months.

You don’t pretend to be one. Ras thinks the Russians’ human wave tactic is still effective in modern combat.

It's a Politico quote. That good enough? Better wake up.

Macron also argued that Europe had increased its dependency on the U.S. for weapons and energy and must now focus on boosting European defense industries.
He also suggested Europe should reduce its dependence on the “extraterritoriality of the U.S. dollar,” a key policy objective of both Moscow and Beijing.

Europe must resist pressure to become ‘America’s followers,’ says Macron

Kudos to you on finally reading the actual article, rather than relying on the tweet of a medical doctor on Australia who has previously been caught fabricating information.




The third paragraph, which you conveniently left out, provides the necessary context for the quote.

You laughed without even seeing that Politico was the referenced article before your google fu. Now who looks foolish?
And the third paragraph doesn't change the context of his quotes.

I read the article yesterday when vatnik Twitter was all on a rage about it; they too attempted to make an issue out of a nothingburger.

So it is a non issue for you? Not exactly the kind of rhetoric needed right now by Macron.

"Rhetoric" indeed, as his statement lacks any sincerity, or meaningful content.

Especially given the reality of France and the EU's arms production:

And France's energy import portfolio:
International - U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA)

Feel free to continue salivating over nothing though, just wipe your chin before you go out.

Why the nasty comment? Just because I disagree with you?

You vote for Biden?

You get your feelings hurt because reality doesn't support your interpretation, or because I said to "wipe your chin"?

You vote for Biden?

No.

What relevance does my last presidential vote have on the subject of Macron's statement?

Be an ass then.

 

[Rasputin_Vol]

Arestovich is saying this? It must be bad if the Baghdad Bob of Kyiv is coming out like this.

WTF? What's gotten into Arestovich?

 

[Rasputin_Vol]

South Korea being tapped dry... I swear... we are scouring the planet looking for ammo while simultaneously hoping that Russia runs out.

 

[BeardedVol]

Lol you're really bad at this. When pressed on the issue, his complaint is that the corrupt governor of Zaporozhe, who was appointed by Zelensky, was caught stealing humanitarian aid, and subsequently arrested.

You always know when the Ras account has a shift change because they start to quote the previous workers posts..

 

[KnoxLandcruiser]

siap

I would suggest giving a listen. Jordan Peterson and Senator Mike Lee discuss russia/ukraine. I hope everyone maintains the ability to reconsider their position....and with not just this issue but all issues. I know I'm guilty of not always doing that.

Jordan Peterson podcast link hopefully

Why should anyone listen to an unqualified Jordan Peterson discuss Russia and Ukraine with a Senator, who's basic position is "Putin is bad, but America should appease him and let him have Ukraine, so he won't get closer to China or start a third world war"?

Appeasement, does not work. It didn't work in 1999 when Russia invaded Chechnya. It didn't work in 2008 when Russia invaded Georgia. It didn't work in 2014 when Russia invaded Ukraine.

It's not going to work now.
