WWII because Germany controls Germany and Japan controls Japan


For frick's sake what a ridiculous argument.

Japan nor Germany are controlled by the same regimes that controlled them before WW2. That's because those regimes lost the war. Unlike the Taliban.
The Taliban controlled Afghanistan before and after the American conflict. Not only did the Taliban win, they seized billions of dollars of war equipment from the US as we fled like pussies.
Stupid to fight a war in Afganistan really. There's nothing there to win.

Are you really this stupid?

Also, on that video, interesting that it's stamped azov in the lower right corner of the screen as in Azov batallion.
The only NAZIs still being paid to fight by their govt.

No it shouldnt be, they had a clearly defined goal. The political control of the land between Iran and Pakistan. I dont know what we were doing for 20 years and however many trillions we spent. "Winning hearts and minds"?

And speaking of Afghanistan, since Russia invaded Ukraine, they’ve lost most men in the three weeks they’ve been there than they US lost in Afghanistan and Iraq combined.


How many Russkies did Germany kill in WW2? It only matters if you can run out or if you care and the Russians arent in danger of either.

leveling entire cities, cutting off their food and water supplies while bombing evacuation routes. You can throw whataboutisms out but the Russian invasion is really indefensible by anyone who's remotely objective (hence pretty much the entire world condemning the actions)


Solid take.

Holy mackerel. Which cities have they leveled? I recall what Dresden looked like after we leveled it in 1945. It was not pretty, but war never is.

Sucky Cheese and Slo Jeaux have to be two of the biggest idiots on TD. They think that the US lost WWII because Germany controls Germany and Japan controls Japan. They actually believe the US should still be in Afghanistan just so they can say "we won". frick people who think like that.


Are you fricking retarded? Are you not able to differentiate these situations? And by the way, the U.S. still has military bases in those countries. What's our military presence like in Afghanistan now?

One of them lived long enough to pop the top hatch.

Also, I've seen some speculation that a lot of the reactive armor packets are either worn out to the point where it has fallen out of the bags or it was never put in there at all.


My god.

Conscripted or nor, many educated Russians I know feel war against Ukraine was/is justified. They mainly have seen ethnic Russians getting killed in the Don Bas since 2014. The 8 years of selective reporting on Putin's guerilla fighting there has shaped their mindset in favor of the war.

Well, our equipment is still there, but it's just not us using it.

That’s not a t-90, instead a T-64.


So is it a T-90 or T-64, and does the T-64 even have reactive armor?

Rushing a retreat for political points usually has that effect.

And thats not indirect fire as the video says. Those are javelins



Javelins are a top-attack weapon that fly up then down directly at the top of the vehicle. Those were side impacts, so likely NLAWs.

Defense contractors. $$$$$$$$. That's what dragging Vietnam on for so long was about, and likewise for the Middle East.
