Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By GlockZen: Ukraine is expendable it always was, I mean if Ukraine joined NATO you think that would prevent Ukraine from being wiped of the map in a first move. If you live next to Russia, North Korea and China and they are your neighbor, you are first in line and you will be a pawn in the game. Its just a reality of the world as terrible as it sounds. The Ukrainians have done amazing things, but in the end whatever is necessary to protect the Western way of life, and buy time against Putin will be done. Sounds evil but its always been that way, talk to a Cuban, Vietnamese, Afghani, a Czhech, a Pole. What is the alternative we go all in on Ukraine. Zelenskyy needs to come to terms, he has done amazing, he is the Spartan holding the line. He has awakened the world to Putin, he has changed the response matrix in Europe, and Ukraine will hold territory, and rebuild. Russia has paid a terrible price, they will not recover from this. The problem continues to be how to maintain relations with the moderates, everything moves in cycles, there was Gorbachev, at some point there will be another. No matter how Putin spins this back home, the Russian soldiers on the ground know the reality, the commanders know, the politicians know, the insiders know, the Russian youth know and the world knows who Putin is. If Ukraine government stays in place, with Zelenskyy the popular hero who held of the Russians, that is destructive for Putin. He accomplished not much he took some territory and got some more reserves, but the world is done with Russia. Putin is going to drown in oil, he won't be able to give it away.

Signs that the Russians are giving up on the roads... That's a good indicator that you're mining the roads well enough.
Now mine the obvious tracs next to the roads and start boobytraping anything related to a battlefield pickup. If it's something they want, use it to kill them. |

A prayer for Ukraine:
May we bow our heads?Dear Lord, Heavenly Father, you who know all things We face again a mighty foe, a vast host. An enemy more than twice our number. But you have taught us to fear not, to trust in you. When the Philistines came before them, the people of Israel feared the giant Goliath. Their army was in terror. No one had the courage to stand against the mighty warrior. Then you brought forth David, a mere Boy, and Saul armed David with his armor and he put a helmet of brass upon his head. Also, he armed him with a coat of mail. And David girded his sword upon his armor, and he assayed to go. |

People are probably going to lose their minds for me saying this, but I believe Trump did admire Putin. He admired how Putin ruled single-handedly, he admired how Putin is loved by his countrymen. For a narcissist like Trump, that is the most potent drug you can give yourself. That's not to say that Trump was in Putin's pocket - just that he didn't exactly stand up to him like you already mentioned. |

I should by all rights agree on 90% of things with people on here as a gun loving conservative but the derpy right has lost its mind and worse,sold its soul. https://www.ar15.com/media/mediaFiles/56204/44E4F5C8-0156-4786-B0F0-71921A102EFA_jpe-2302253.JPG We are living in a time of bewildering propaganda. Maybe you should stuff the name-calling (Derpy? Fuck off.) and help orient people's sensibilities. I get your perspective. You are coming to this from a small weak country and you fear being devoured by Russia. I come from a large powerful country that can have major cities turned into an uninhabitable wasteland in a nuclear exchange with an adversary who has lost everything and has nothing left to lose. Dealing cautiously with a nuclear adversary is at the forefront of my sensibilities. Or is that Derpy of me. The fact that you quoted his post defending yourself speaks volumes. You're afraid(and cozy)....we get it. Let's just let Putin do whatever he wants, because nukes. Last month they were all, “Why should I care?” Now they’re all, “I don’t want to get nuked!” |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By MattyCR: Originally Posted By AROKIE: wrong.

Bet you the cost of a bronze ARFCOM membership that in one month Ukraine is not in the EU Deal? That depends on whether the Russians have been forced to withdraw or not. If they have, Ukraine will get welcomed into the EU because they have resources the EU want to be able to somewhat control (like oil, gas, and wheat). If the Russians are still there in a month, things get a little murkier. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Star_Scream: We have that here in GD. There's a thread where people are cheering for the russians shooting up the Sky News people and wondering when they get to do the same. Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Star_Scream: Originally Posted By Durka-Durka: I'm seeing right-leanding dudes comment that I turn to regularly about domestic issues, who are very knowledgeable about American politics, try to comment on war with the same authority and it's a clown show. We have that here in GD. There's a thread where people are cheering for the russians shooting up the Sky News people and wondering when they get to do the same. If the media wasn't a mouthpiece for the globalist Left, and didn't spend all their time and energy lying about the Right, and Right political candidates, and those who support them....acting a a third column to constantly politically crush them.......those folks wouldn't feel justified or glad that reporters are getting shot up. Just like if the EU/US elite hadn't directly interfered in internal politics to cause a "regime change" in Ukraine, just like they did in Egypt, Libya, and attempted to do in Israel........and hadn't subsequently used Ukraine as a base for anti-Russia propaganda and political operations, demonizing and attempting to politically overthrow Putin, Russia wouldn't be invading it. Just like if 9/11 hadn't happened, we wouldn't have invaded Afghanistan. Just because they didn't use guns and bombs, doesn't make what the Left did to and in Ukraine "OK". This isn't rocket science, we were supposed to learn how this works in grade school. The grade school level lesson here, is you can only push someone so far, before they retaliate. Everyone who thinks Putin is the bully here, is ignorant of all the shit we pulled in Ukraine before it got to this point. They are falling for the old trick of taunting someone secretly, until they retaliate openly, then labeling THEM the bad guy. So, let's reduce it to the playground level. One bully (the EU/US Left/Soros/their ilk) sat on the corner of Russia's desk and keeps poking him with a sharp stick. Whenever the teacher is looking their way, that bully has a shield called "media" that they put up and it blinds the teacher to what is happened. At what point is Russia the child justified in kicking the shit out of the bully sitting on the corner of the desk? Those who point to Russia as the aggressor are no different than the fucked up school administrators who, when faced with two kids who got in a fight like I described above, studiously ignore the first actor's repeated provocations, but then blame and punish the second actor who finally stands up and throws a big punch. |
