The Russians haven’t shown they are capable of putting together a real offensive.


I’m talking about the Ukrainians. The Russians “put together a real offensive” when they took the territories they already annexed.

So they needed an offensive to take territories they already “took”?

It will be down a long time. It had burning fuel on it for hours. The integrity of the steel has been compromised. The expansion and contraction that the bridge is experiencing every day from temperature changes is going to make it worse. There is no way for the Russians to be sure that section of bridge isn’t going to collapse under the weight of a heavy freight train. That section of bridge is going to have to be cut out and replaced unless Russia wants to run the risk of it collapsing which will lead to even more damage.

It has nothing to do with the music itself I hate music played over combat footage.

I didn’t think it was possible but you’ve managed to make an even more idiotic comment than you previously have. Please please please tell me you’re just a stupid little kid and not a grown adult. You’d just hand over Texas to Mexico? Please say you aren’t a grown up.


True freedom is my ultimate ideology. Yeah, initial invasion fight like hell, but if the Texans legally wanted to secede to form their own country or go join another country and aren’t violently coerced into it, I think they should be allowed to do so.

So I’d be a fricking hypocrite if I said “no” even if I personally don’t like it (I’d be pissed at Texas in this hypothetical in another words). I know what I’m requesting of Ukraine saying they need to let the Donbas go in the name of peace, and I’d be a complete piece of shite for not saying “yes” to that hypothetical. So wouldn’t like it in that hypothetical, but I need to remain consistent in my ideology.

after all of this Ukraine might become the most western country in the world. It will be hilarious to watch them pass Russia in every single meaningful category

It’s about the money for them and they don’t care about the lives they’re destroying. That’s my point.

Delete - could not verify number of troops trained by Britain. Seems to be around 5000 so far.

If Taiwan voted the join the PRC, then no, there’s nothing I can do about that. Even if I don’t like it on a personal level, that may dodge a bullet of World War III.

But in that scenario Taiwan is voting themselves into the PRC. Save for the human rights abuses that would follow that I would find appalling, it would alleviate my fears getting into this with China save for their now more direct access to the Pacific Ocean.

But Russia will match them with 10,000 picked up walking down the street handed a rifle and sent to the front the next day…..

If taiwan freely and legally votes to join the PRC than we obviously should allow it. Luckily that isnt going to happen and luckily China is so far from actually being able to invade that we are decades from having to worry about it

The thing about BKR is he goes back and forth between actively trolling and then seeking info/trying to provide actual data.

At least one of your personalities needs to remain consistent. It might reduce the self-confusion that plagues you.

Ukrainians love for anything western is part of the reason they’re so anti-Russian. They have been forcibly part of Russia for decades and the last 31 years of freedom have given them a chance to develop their own identity. They don’t intend going back to Mother Russia’s bosom.

I mean, this is also what I think. I'm just not sure. It is, after all, a two-track bridge, meaning that it's built to handle the weight of two heavy trains at the same time, and maybe their engineers think that the bridge is still strong enough to support one train.

I just don't know if we can be 100% sure right now.
