It’s like watch shitty trash TV, like Honey Booboo or like watching a car crash. Some people just can’t look away but they know it’s horrible to stare.
Reporting any military's official statements as absolute fact during the early stages of a war is as irresponsible as thinking Mother Jones's articles represent reality.
No idea what the situation on the ground is at this time. I have seen enough combat footage coming out of what appears to be Ukraine to suggest that the Russian aircraft certainly seems to be deploying counter-measures to anti-air weapons and acting as if they do not have Air Dominance yet.
This is bigger than you. You can either let the community do what it's gonna do, or tomorrow there'll be a KiA3: Back to the Future where it's acceptable to talk about the first real war since 1991.
I’d be quite happy for you little fascists to split off and do your own thing, tbh…
Then you can circlejerk each other to your own content, and leave the rest of us to ooh, I dunno, not spout literal fucking Kremlin propaganda every hour of the Amerimutt working day…
I don't see total air dominance in Ukraine even now.
Neither do I.
Frankly it seems to be every argument against modern peer-vs-peer war, that it'd be a missile slinging shitshow where everything that vaguely resembles a fighting vehicle is worth blowing up with a guided rocket. This is why I'm so doubtful of a Chinese invasion of Taiwan, because you can't dismount infantry to clear out missile crews in the middle of a fucking ocean.
Those are just guided rockets. The Eastern Europeans are using mass volume of fire at basically anything that can move. Mass dumb rocket barrages are pretty uncharacteristic of a modern military, but they're doing it anyway... which can only suggest that the level of fighting is a Khe Sahn style slog where they were bracketing NVA attacks with massed artillery like it was WW1. There's so much chaos on the ground, I'm wondering if even the Command and Control staff have a clear understanding of what's happening beyond a general understanding of where the front probably is.
I can only imagine that a Chinese invasion of Taiwan would actually be more insane and intense considering that although the Chinese have an equipment advantage, the level of deception and maneuver that Taiwan would have to sustain would be even more intense than anything we've already seen.
I haven’t really looked at the other .Win sites, but if this is an indication of what this place has become/is becoming, I’m not sure it can survive, really…
The pro-Kremlin disinformation/downvote everyone else brigade is utterly alarming…
We were better than this, only a few weeks ago. I’m really not sure what happened to “the community”… 😕
How the fuck did a Gamergate forum become literal Pravda.com, lol??
Well given what the drama board is doing…well I’ve got some time here to look into things and might be using the Eastern District of Missouri to find out…
It is pretty funny to see the reddit comments waxing lyrical about how they never expected to see another European war in their lifetime.
Like, really? You never expected to see something which happens every single lifetime?
It’s like watch shitty trash TV, like Honey Booboo or like watching a car crash. Some people just can’t look away but they know it’s horrible to stare.
They only hear of what they are told by the mainstream media.
The media doesn't like to talk about the sequential human trafficking wars.
To be fair, that was long before the average redditor was born.
Yes, really.
With as bad as Europe had gotten I couldn't envision anyone wanting to take it over.
It's not even the first one in my lifetime and I'm almost a millennial.
I guess most of them weren't alive for the Balkans.
My nitta.

All 4-5 of you? lol
I am letting the community do what it's gonna do. I'm just reminding people to be cautious about what they see.

The whole place has become full of this shit, man…
OP is the main perp, but it’s not just him…
Holy shit it’s tiresome, though. I hate to say it, but it is absolutely killing open discussion in this place…
I really don’t want to tell you how to do your job, but we’ve gotta be better than just a Kremlin/Pravda digital propaganda arm… 😑
That's what you are all here for. That is open discussion.
Makes me wonder who really is funding the entire whatever .win is calling itself these days...
I know, right??
It’s disgusting…

People were demanding a No Fly Zone in Ukraine. Looks like the Russians delivered.
It's almost like technology and strategic observations are handy.
Weak men create hard times.

Ah yes, the notoriously “independent” Russia Today…
Gee, what a reliable source you have there! shocked Pikachu
I’m sure they’re not biased at all…
You mean RT is biased when publishing government statements ?
