Yo Joe!

Its all fun & games till 12 dudes in kayaks with a grenade launcher & machine guns insert in a waterway and silently penetrate your perimeter, blow up your coms, then light you up like Christmas in Times Square.

Wait till the Russians respond with attack canoes.

We’re sending 10k of these.

The Garrett STAMP (Small Tactical Aerial Mobility Platform) was a two-person aircraft prototype made by a division of AiResearch Manufacturing Co. of Phoenix, Arizona, for the United States Marine Corps STAMP program, in the early 1970s. The prototype took off and manoeuvred by means of a ducted fan, much like the Harrier. Unlike the Harrier it had no wings and had to depend on the fan’s thrust for lift at all times. This gave it an expected range of 30 miles at a speed of 75 mph. The power came from a Garrett TSE-231 turbine normally used to power helicopters. The turbine gave 1050 pounds of thrust by running at 6000 rpm. Two persons sat in a closed cockpit adapted from an OH-6 helicopter.

So the intention is to launch them in the general direction of the enemy, and hope that the debris and body parts of the occupants hurts them pretty badly.

A few of the news clips I’ve seen say that the russians are getting absolutely routed the last couple of days.

Any news on your end about that?

[ins]

Well, it remains the same. It seems like Ukraine is separed between 2 tactics.

1. Grind as many Russians as possible. The reasoning is Russia can not afford another mobilization.

2. Go forward trough Zaporozhie and Crimea. Their September campaign has been concentrated om blowing up everything in Crimea and weakening the Russian Black Sea fleat.

Otherwise Russians have been duying in record numbers the past few weeks.

As the offensive turned out to be a huge stinker, I very much doubt a massive rout of Ivans.
It’s yet another instance of “we’ve always been at war with Oceania”. You guys keep on cheering but it will lead to more misery and death. Eventually even resentment towards the US.

I’ve been told that could never happen.

Russia is about to get Hoff’d by Ukraine.

Again.

[Reichsritter]

Russia is about to get Hoff’d by Ukraine.

Says the lgbtxyz superhero and nato speaker every week.

Let’s see what else they said

“we are killing so many Vietcong, we are so winning!” (paraphrased)
“mission accomplished” (Afghanistan, circa 2004)
“we are winning over hearts and minds” (Iraq, circa 2005-2010)

Not only do they lie about the background of a conflict (and they DID lie about each and every one), the numbers are also usually hogwash.
Granted, compulsive lying is not America’s prerogative
Soviet propaganda was constantly going like this

“vee are decisively krushing ze west even hharder zis year”

But wait, maybe there is a connection. Maybe, just maybe, if you keep lying and cheating and betraying, your whole empire might crumble.
Just a wild thought.

[SkyzykS]

You sound a little chapped.

Did a chunk of the berlin wall fall on your toe or something?

@Reichsritter

if you keep lying and cheating and betraying, your whole empire might crumble.

But… isn’t that how you build an empire in the first place?

[Reichsritter]

This is just healthy disgust because of so much needless killing.
What was your feeling when the Taliban routed the Yanks?

@zecarlo

Screw the empire.

Russia can just leave the heck out Ukraine and everything will be fine. Otherwise Russians will be grinded on the war machine until they uprise. Knowing Russians however they will continue duying. Which is a good thing, we will have a brutally colapsing agressor and war monger which wont be able to recover in decades.

At what point did that happen?

@Reichsritter

If you could snap your fingers and your most ideal scenario would become real, what would that be?

[Reichsritter]

@ins

This is child-tier politics. Why do you even bother?

@SkyzykS

At what point did that happen?

Those bearded goat herders captured 60000 vehicles alone. In my book, that’s a rout.

@SkyzykS

If you could snap your fingers and your most ideal scenario would become real, what would that be?

Regarding Ukraine, I reckon?
That’s really difficult because global politics is a zero sum game and most players are psychos and assholes. The best outcome would implement a lasting peace, curb the US’ insane ambitions, keep Chinese greedy fingers off Eurasia, stabilise Russia while simultaneously initiate the crowning of Putin’s heir who’s hopefully more of a visionary while still shaking up Europe just enough for a cultural shift.

Wether Ukraine remains or gets partitioned is largely irrelevant, given that they lost their state years ago. As the invasion cannot be undone, it would be best (especially for Ukrainians) if Russia managed to force an immediate peace. Washington’s strawmen would be ousted while at the same time a smaller Ukraine would somehow regain true political sovereignty (yeah, we’re already in la-la land).
Europe would undergo some turbulence but come out stronger and finally manage to include Russia in a more meaningful way. The globalist PMC called Nato would be no more.
Bereft of its superpower status, the US experience a similar transformation and become sane and productive again.

You mean when we withdrew and left them there? Ok.

@Reichsritter

Ohh. You’re on the verge of being honest! Look out!

@Reichsritter

Oh! Even closer!

@Reichsritter

and finally manage to include Russia in a more meaningful way.

Oh yeah, about those zero sum psychopaths…

Why doesn’t Europe want to include Russia in a more $$$ meaningful way?

Its not because they’re a bunch of lying megalomaniacal fucking psychopaths, is it?
