It's only the first direct confrontation if you ignore the army of contractors, advisors, liasons and observers.

Extraordinary claims require...

Though obviously, what TentElephant said is correct. If I were Russia, I'd capture as many Western subjects as possible and use them as bargaining chips and in order to humiliate the corrupt West.

I wonder if it's like the Russian volunteers who were all dudes on vacation or whatever the line in the media was back in 2014.

I love the little text excuse at the end.

"It's perfectly tactically sound to blow 6 AT rockets blindly shooting the countryside, to 'signalize AT capability' before we retreat, also those rockets are heavyyyyy~ guys and I have bad ankles. P.S. plz send another million in aid, we need more boom booms"

America is the aggressor here - we literally have the US Secretary of State on tape stating who should be installed as the new head of state by their revolution in 2014. No conservative should support the current Ukrainian government, because no conservative should want the left-wing enclaves that spring up around capital cities like Washington and London to have the same rioter's veto over their own elections.

Sadly it's very believable, if they were led by US command structure. For years, the US has a massive issue with being able to think outside the box when it comes to strategy, that in war games against the British they are often humiliated because they think numbers and tech alone win when an effective and fast moving smaller forces that can adapt quickly can devastate a large force, just look at special forces like SAS

This mentality spreading to their PMC's are not surprising.

According to an interview I saw with a British volunteer, it sounds like the problem is that US volunteers are so used to fighting with instant air and artillery support being just a radio away that they are not used to this war and most fights being with sparse artillery and no air support.

Considering the other instance I know of US troops fighting Russians in Syria where they DID have air support ended with the Russians getting absolutely massacred, I am willing to believe it.

All that said, I still think the US is in shape to win a war with Russia or China. It may be closer than I would care for, but we have seen US tech is so ascended compared to anything our enemies are rocking that we still win in the end. And honestly, I am happy about that, because it means our only true enemies are ourselves, which means all we have to do is beat the Uniparty, and that is more doable than the Doomers claim.

Also, speaking as someone with experience and having talked to people that take part in those war games, I wouldn’t put too much stock in them. Because they are always weighted heavily in favor of REDFOR and against BLUEFOR, sometimes to the point that it defies actual, real world capability. Because they are supposed to be about learning techniques and command under pressure, not actually simulating a fight.

Im just rooting for shit to hit the fan. Economy/finance is shit. Gay, troony stuff promoting. Race division and social caste system based on oppression ladder.

Faster the west collapse, the better it is for the rest of the world.

We are definitely in a shit spiral and we need something to knock us out of it.

I kinda prefer living, so I'm not rooting for a nuclear war or anything, but I really think we need some sort of back to basics disaster that eliminates the "women are equal to men", troon shit, BLM, etc. social crap because people are more concerned about putting food on the table and real things.

Russians are getting their asses kicked by Ukrainians and coping by deluding themselves that they're fighting the entirety of NATO.

The Ukrainians are certainly being given enough weapons to arm all of NATO. Sure, 90% of it is getting embezzled, but that's still a lot left.

You mean the arms which you Putin bootlickers said would have no effect?

The Russians are killing far, far more Ukrainian soldiers than they’re losing. They seem to be steadily achieving their stated goals of demilitarizing Ukraine and (as they put it) denatzifying their government. And NATO is doing everything short of putting boots on the ground… how much money has the USA sent Ukraine so far? How many missile systems? If you’re posting on this forum you should know to question the mainstream media narrative. It’s jarring to me to see someone here take at face value the EXACT narrative that you’d see peddled in the most insipid cable news shows. Like you had a glimpse behind the curtain with gamergate but you’re going to take the State Department at their word?
