War in Ukraine

[Orangeburst]

Oh I am pierced thru the heart. Your rapier like wit has left me speechless.

What a moron.

I asked you for a source to your comment about Stalin..yet like a vag hat pussed away. So like I said, you are FOS

 

[ABINGDON VOL FAN]

Really?

Yes that is correct.

 

[landscapingvol]

Believe you will and have a good weekend. It will be warm at least.

You too!

My high school chemistry teacher told us that he was a 2nd LT and had already been slotted to be on the first landing wave. As he said, can you imagine the life expectancy of a 2nd LT in the first landing wave. According to him, about 15 minutes. In his mind there was no debate about using the bomb.

Got no problem with using the bomb on Japan. They hit us with a surprise attack, the Bataan death march, chemical experiments on prisoners and using troop ships with American POWs to shield their ships.

Same with Dresden, Hamburg, etc. He who sows the wind shall reap the whirlwind.

If someone asked me if we should bomb Japan, a simple "Yes." By all means sir, drop that ****er, twice!

I rarely resort to overt name calling, but you're an idiot and should stop talking.

I chuckled.

How would they know?

Either names got leaked from within Belarus or cyber attacks recovered names.

Ukraine’s NATO Membership 'Will Not Take Place': German Chancellor | ZeroHedge

“I also made it clear in Moscow and in my visit that this option [Ukraine’s membership of NATO] is not on the table and will not take place,” he said during an interview with German public broadcaster ZDF.

“I said publicly that we all know that Ukraine’s NATO membership is not on the alliance’s agenda today,” he added. “That was understood by the American president, that [was] also understood by the French president.”

Scholz said he shares Russian President Vladimir Putin’s security concern and clarified to Putin that Ukraine will not be allowed to join NATO.

“The Russians were worried about the control issue of their security. [Putin was worried] that NATO has a military setup and rockets in Ukraine targeting Russian territory. That is why we tried to make it clear that this will not occur,” he elaborated.

Other than a farmer towing a missile launcher and a picture of a tank with a Z on it, can anyone provide an accurate update of the day's news? I've been super busy and had heard there might be an imminent amphibious assault and major city invasion.

Honestly..this concerns me more than nukes..

Odessa.

But outside of these Twitter stories, same as yesterday.

Then maybe we need to do one of two things (or both):
1. Lower the levels of hubris and bravado and actually try to work with China, Russia and ??? in a multipolar world
2. Bring back our industrial capabilities and maybe better prepare ourselves for any future encounters with these nations

Prepare? That’s just crazy talk!

I agree, but I identified this as a problem about 20 years ago. We're going to have even bigger issues when China cuts off pharmaceuticals, rare earth metals, and a ton of parts that we need to repair and maintain manufacturing and military equipment. U.S. corporate and government leadership have created huge levels of risk due to ignorance and greed.

So did you give speeches about it, testify before Congress? How exactly did YOU identify it as a problem? China and Japan have been economis issues for far longer than 20 years. You blame CEOs. How is it their problem? They don't own these companies you are complaining about, they run them. They are paid to do a job. I think your real issue should be with the American consumer. Make a difference, don't worry about the price, buy American. Your ire is misplaced.

 

[allvol123]

yes, according to a map posted last night. However a mad individual with a god complex wouldn’t let that stop him.

Perhaps the guys setting the bombs with family in said downwind area would consider it.

The Ukrainians are going about this all the wrong way. They need to let all the Russian forces arrive and then IED the crap out of them. Hopefully they are planting them now

VDV convoy west of Kyiv got slaughtered.

Literally.

Posted a tweet earlier of a T-72 with all its' ERA blocks taken off. Those can be combined with other elements to create IEDs.

There is a loud and vocal socialist element in the Democratic Party. AOC and the squad and Bernie Sanders. Do you see anybody in the Republican Party who promotes socialism?

I see factions in both parties that support idiocy.

1. After seeing Russia inflict a military conquest of a sovereign nation, I will have to pass on Russia and this massively imbedded relationship with the CCP. I tell you what, I have not had to consider such philosophical debate in decades, even though I partake in it daily subconsciously on here, but some mixture of Hobbes, Rousseau, Locke, Clawsowitz, and Realpolitik create basically every opinion on this forum. Quite a soup of so many and different veggies and how much meat. We do seem to be moving toward all meat or all veggie...almost literally..lol

Ok, I am 5 in, so feeling whimsical.

I’m not a government official or politician. It’s not my job to fix the world’s problems. I don’t have ire toward CEO’s. However, it is a simple fact that CEO’s and politicians place emphasis on extremely short-term results. Long term ramifications of those decisions made for short-term results are somebody else’s problem. That is why we now sit in the vulnerable position that we do.

Dresden was a dark chapter

What a crock of s.
Don’t dish it out if you can’t take it. Obviously Germany and their superior race couldn’t take it.
