War in Ukraine

[NorthDallas40]

Remember when the "rules of war" were you stand shoulder to shoulder across an open field to be an easy target but you don't shoot officers? Was that a "good" rule? Was it noble? Had the revolutionary fighters adhered to that rule, we might still be a British colony.

Nope that was stupid. But they at least were practicing that stupidity among the combatants

Wars used to be fought for territory. Now we fight, kick their ass, then spend trillions building back what we destroyed, and turn it right back to the ones we were waring with in the first place.

I don't mind the rebuilding once the war is won. Our post war relationship with Germany and Japan are great relationships to aspire to. But we have those relationships, in part, because we won the war convincingly and overwhelmingly.
Again, if a war is worth fighting, it is worth winning.

Oh I’ll stand by my comments as posted as offer General George Patton as a reference.

The object of war is not to die for your country but to make the other bastard die for his.

We’re very good at executing the main purpose of war, making the other bastard die for his country, we completely suck at administering the overall picture.

Patton or MacArthur???

Standing and position according to who? The West who has ostracized and sanctioned them for years or Russia’s new BFF alliance with China, who by the way makes virtually all the goods sold in the US and will gladly sell those same goods to their new buddy and will also gladly buy what Russia has to sell.

Mainly according to their own citizens, but also in the eyes of the rest of the world.

Patton or MacArthur???

That was Patton. George C Scott even used the line in his movie speech

Great movie. Stands the test of time, too.

Who exactly is going to physically invade Russia, shackle Putin and drag him into the world court for his war crimes? Convict him in abstentia and do what, issue more you’ve been a very bad boy Vlad sanctions and strong statements. Like he so obviously gives a crap about more sanctions and the West’s opinions of him.

Probably no one. He will be despised by more of his own citizens and the majority of the rest of the world and have less power and money than he otherwise would have had.

 

[McDad]

I am comforted China has refused. Good thing we can trust their public statements.

 

[davethevol]

China is speaking out both sides of its mouth. Don’t believe anything regarding them not helping Russia.

Starving Ukrainians have resorted to 'attacking each other for food' and looting pharmacies in besieged Mariupol, Red Cross reveals as deputy mayor says 1,200 bodies have been 'collected on the streets'

• Mariupol has been without Power, Food or Water for days amid constant bombardment from Russian forces

Bodies are piling up on the streets of Mariupol where starving Ukrainians have resorted to fighting each other for food in the desperate conditions in the besieged port city.

Residents have been sheltering for days without food, water and power in below freezing weather amid constant bombardment from Putin's forces, which saw a maternity hospital shelled yesterday, killing three people including a six-year-old girl.

The Red Cross said the situation in Mariupol is so harrowing that people are 'attacking each other for food' on a day in which not a single person was evacuated to safety from the under-fire city.

Supplies are so low that residents are melting snow for water and children are not being fed, with an estimated 1,207 people killed and bodies lying among the rubble.

Medical supplies are running low and pharmacies 'were looted four to five days ago' amid the freezing conditions which drop to -9C at night with people huddling together for warmth in underground shelters.

Sad. De-evolution.

Of note, they will continue to pay their employees for now.

Destroyed Russian tanks. A bunch of them. Looks like most of them actually were bogged down in the mud.

Husband of Slain Ukrainian family says Wife is Still Lying on Morgue Floor

The grieving husband and father of the Ukrainian woman and two children killed while trying to flee Kyiv five days ago says his wife’s body is still lying in a body bag on the floor of an overflowing morgue.

Sergii Perebeinis arrived in Kyiv on Wednesday to bury his loved ones but said their funerals had to be postponed because the morgues are full of civilian victims of the war.

He said the body of his wife, Tatiana Perebeinis, was “lying in a black bag on the floor” of a morgue.

Perebeinis did not say where the remains of his children — Mykyta, 18, and Alisa, 9 — were.

“Trying to hold on but it’s really hard,” Perebeinis said in a Facebook post.

The family were killed by Russian mortar fire as they tried to run across a damaged bridge in Irpin, just outside of Kyiv, on Sunday.

What makes you think that their military or nuclear arsenal is deficient? Because of what the news is saying?

Yeah Russia is doing great lol. You are a fool.

It was dumb, first person you shoot should be the officers. Sometimes that includes your own.

Can't be that serious over there...

 

[landscapingvol]

Is your claim based in fact? And does it excuse our hypocrisy of bombing countries back to the Stone Age for alleged biological weapons?

Is my claim based on facts that Russia (Soviet Union) invested far more into biological warfare than the US? Yes, you are welcome to research the Soviet Union's biological weapons program. It dwarfed the US' program in terms of investment and duration. Who did we bomb back to the Stone Age for their biological weapons program? I assume you are referring to Iraq and no we didn't bomb them back to the Stone Age but I agree that was a stupid war as is the current war in Ukraine.
