War in Ukraine

[hog88]

Hey, we're sandwiched between 2 great democracies, how could we not trust Canada or Mexico to enforce "global law"

I want to see Trudeau give the speech announcing him sending Canadian boys into combat to enforce an international court ruling.

Noice. These little things are simple, fast and deadly. But.... 100 is nothing. Must be a trial run and/or Pentagon's concerned about them getting in Russian hands.

Wonder how many. Surely they’ll just be smaller reconnaissance drones. Would give Ukraine more Forward Observers. Ukraine uses drones to call in accurate artillery strikes, as some tweets posted here previously posted show.

Especially if they have to travel through the US to attack Mexico.

 

[luthervol]

And what will they do?

In this particular instance? Tell Russia to withdraw or they enter the war.

They are probably like the balsa wood planes I flew as a kid, unless everything is just right they go straight up and do a loop and come back down and kill the entire platoon.

I think we all know who the rest of the World relies on to the be the International Police Force and that is the United States although when we volunteered for that position I am not sure but I definitely don't recall voting for it

 

[luthervol]

Which also means virtually nothing, especially when the public gets tired of getting hit in the wallet.

Some people regain a little perspective when they see innocent people slaughtered and whole cities wiped out.....but as you can attest, not everyone.

If we're talking the ones with the rubber band and red plastic prop... yeah, usually broken to bits after one or two flights.

In reality this is what they will do.

I don't see a rush to the recruiting offices or a general call to arms.

Once again if you are for businesses doing " as they see fit' then you would be against ANY government agency mandating or making rules on a how a business operates. In other words that barber shouldn't need a license to open his shop and the government should have had no right to tell them they needed to shut down temporarily during the pandemic.

Second if every janitor, CNA and food service worker at the hospital decided to quit that would be a major problem. Bet you would be singing a different tune about how important they are then.

I'm also not the one who brought up this topic yesterday. You did. You have a bone to pick with someone who does not believe the government or any private business should be mandating vaccines. And what's funny is you are clearly rattled by someone who you perceive as part of the working class.

Anyways. I believe you need to share your thoughts with the people in your company who you see as unskilled. Please feel free to do so.

Three things I have found out about you. You love masks, you love vaccine mandates and you hate service academy football.

Damn, DonjoVol. You're a broken record playing over and over again repeating the same nonsense in thread after thread.

Didn't you see a recent poll that asked people that were democrats, republicans and independents what they would do if the US was invaded like the Ukraine was? A majority of the democrats (52% I think) said they would cut and run and leave the country about (60% I think) of the republican and independents said they would stand and fight. It's pretty sad either way.

Until they don't.
If nothing else, this is showing us the necessity for stronger "world" response.
And that will be one of the lasting results. Just as WWII brought about the UN.
We now more clearly see that those institutions need a little adjustment.

There is a growing public outcry and thousands have rushed to join Ukraine.

 

[VolStrom]

$6k/each? Yeah the government doesn't buy a 6" crescent wrench for that little. That is probably the starting price with no controls or bomb, those options add another $600k to it.

Again, no one can answer the question, how does picking a side in this ridiculous conflict help the average American citizen. If you're worried about Ukrainians, they are taking foreign fighters and there are people who will pay your way over there.

I'll take your concern seriously when you put your son on a plane heading to Ukraine.

 

[KB5252]

Not really. A legal ruling merely opens the door and offers the justification for enforcement.

Legal ruling is merely opinion until sentence or other consequences are imposed.

Has anyone asked China how they would feel with a more Westernized Russia?

Only for the US, for the Euro trash it's a goldmine.

Azov Destroying a Russian Tank in Mariupol recorded by a drone - Ukraine War

Cool video.

Amazingly dumb tactics where solo tank captain plus zero foot soldier support.

Took multiple hits to knock it out. Buh bye.
