One of the things about nuclear weapons that third-world shitholes don't really understand is how much maintenance they require. They have to be constantly cared for because they are always in the process of destroying themselves. Everything about them decays and falls apart. The maintenance is frequently more costly in terms of knowledgeable man hours than their original creation.
I've seen tons of news about Russian whizbangery tests and verification... what I've not seen in a very long time is any sort of verification that the crap they produced in the 90's (every actual warhead) will even go bang anymore. Am I wrong? If not, then the whole "We will fucking murder the whole world" threat is just epic buffoonery. |

In a new interview with Fox News' Bret Baier the Ukrainian president explained what a true victory for his war-torn country would look like. 'A victory of truth means a victory for Ukraine and Ukrainians,' Zelensky told the Special Report host. 'The question is when it will end. That is a deep question. It's a painful question. Besides victory, the Ukrainian people will not accept any outcome.' 'We do not trade our territory,' Zelensky told Baier. 'The question of territorial integrity and sovereignty is out of discussion.' Over a month into the invasion Zelensky reiterated his desire for Ukraine to join NATO. 'It's hard for us to talk about NATO because NATO doesn't want to admit us,' Zelensky said. 'I think it's a mistake because if we join NATO, we make NATO much stronger. We are not a weak state. We are not proposing to make us stronger at the expense of NATO…We are an addition, we are the locomotive. I think we are one of the important components of the European continent.' More Guess that sums up how the peace talks will go. Ukraine would be fools to give up any of their territories so I'm glad to hear they stand strong on that. In the end it doesn't even matter how the "peace talks" go because Russia never honors their agreements. Russia's "word" even in writing means less than shit. |

Anyone else get the feeling that many Europeans, even those actively fighting, seem to see this conflict as fantasy and a stage production? They can't report on a battle without a shit ton of music added to the narrative, as if they're trying to get movie production status. Even where there are dead soldiers and civilians, they always add some kind of music as if it were a video game.

The West is doing this with the ultimate hope that Putin is replaced with a more reasonable leader. That is the best case scenario. The worst case scenario is that Russian opposition fails to materialize and the war escalates anyway. Western response to that obviously remains unknown and hypothetical. However, I strongly suspect that the West is prepared to act decisively when necessary. Putin has shown himself to be an existential threat to Europe and the US. The Western governments will never admit it, but a first strike has to be on the table right now. View Quote Not with fhb as president. He will never launch. He and the party are afraid of going down in history as the instigators of a nuke exchange. Remember, as Putin and company mentally live in fantasy land yet make decisions in reality, so does fjb and the democrats. Different fantasy but shared reality. Thus, as the well seasoned meme goes "never underestimate fjb ability to f##k things up. If decisioning in reality is required, guaranteed fjb will f#ck it up. |

View Quote Yes, but hard to see/highly edited down. I think when this is over we will see thousands of hours of high quality video we haven't seen yet. The Ukrainians are very careful to release minimal information/videos, and much of the population is compliant to help out. I can't easily find them, but there's been at least one t64 hitting a Russian t72, and a few t72s firing and killing Ukrainian tanks. Then of course we have the azov bdrm4 killing two ifvs and a t73 all on ir cams. |

You are seeing movie production values to reach as wide an audience as possible with the message you want to convey. I don’t think that means the people in or or near it don’t take it seriously. Look at the use of the word “orcs” to describe Russian invaders. This is a really brilliant propaganda weaponization of language, literature, and film. It uses the imagery of the excellent Peter Jackson films (with the books backing them up for those who read them) and makes a direct connection from that to Russian behavior in Ukraine. Ergo the Russians must be dealt with as orcs are dealt with. Whoever came up with that association deservers a fucking medal and a nice cash bonus, seriously. Calling Russians “orcs” - a non-existent fantasy trope - doesn’t mean that people don’t understand what “orcish” behavior is in the real world. I saw another video recently which uses a “soundtrack” that was extremely reminiscent of the original Terminator movie, while panning across scenes of widespread destruction. This brings an unconscious memory to mind of the post-apocalyptic scenes of Terminator 1 and conveys to non-Ukrainians that this could be you. Your cities will be turned into ruins unless Putin is stopped now. It’s an effective tool. |
