The 77th Infrantry Division would be the counterpoint to “older conscripts are harder to train and can’t keep up”.

Or raise them a bit higher

Ah, another hexbear genius that thinks Putin and his cabinet would survive if they dropped a nuke.

Hmm. They could use agent orange. Maybe bomb Ukraine to the same extent the US bombed North Korea.

Never work, they’d have to have aircraft that could cross the border

And there’s always tactical nukes. They could just start nuking Ukrainian cities one by one, dropping leaflets to warn them of what’s coming beforehand. It might even be more humanitarian if you consider the loss of life that’ll otherwise happen due to the human meat grinder.

Was going to ask if you’re serious, then I saw you’re from hexbear, so you are dumb enough to believe that Pootin might get to use 1 nuke, max.

Well, seeing at the beneficiaries are Ukraine, yes it would be worth it. I know you’re either paid to believe or have been huffing the glue that is the reasoning posted on lemmygrad, hopefully you’ll recover your morals or your senses one day.

edit: For reference to the glue sniffing

Your one correct statement in this thread: Negotiating a peace with Russians is more dangerous than anything that happens in the war zone

It is. If you check NightOwl’s post history, you’ll see everything they post that’s war related is FUD/anti-Ukraine

A tRuE fUnCtIoNaRy - the best a tankie can come up with when a tankie gets called out for their bullshit

While the British don’t know as much about war crimes as the Russians, this time they’re technically correct. Technically correct is the best correct.

Depleted utanium is a war crime

Actually, it’s not. Quoted from the British article about the DU rounds they’re shipping for the Challenger 2s:

The UK MoD insists that the depleted uranium shells it is sending to Ukraine are not prohibited by any international agreement.

It says that under Article 36 of the First Protocol of 1977 Additional to the Geneva Conventions of 1949, the UK’s depleted uranium shells are “capable of being used lawfully in international armed conflict”.

President Vladimir Putin has warned that if the UK does send depleted uranium shells to Ukraine, “Russia will have to respond accordingly, given that the West collectively is already beginning to use weapons with a nuclear component”.

The MoD replied in a statement: “The British Army has used depleted uranium in its armour-piercing shells for decades. Russia knows this, but is deliberately trying to disinform.”

Stating the use of DU is a war crime is just Russian mouthpieces repeating Kremlin lies.

Imagine defending a regime that targets hospitals and schools for missile attacks and rains white phosphorous down on cities.

If the Russians cared about anything beyond their own expansionist agenda, they’d retreat and end the war they started. If you actually cared about the suffering of Ukrainians, you would stop being a mouthpiece for that regime.

No, the only fascists are the ones that crossed the border into Ukraine and are currently being pushed out. According to the article you linked, it states it’s not possible to conclusively prove who launched those cluster munitions in October.

I’ve noticed the Russian Fascists haven’t had a problem using cluster bomb on civilians, targeting hospitals and non-military health care facilities and generally committing random warcrimes.

You know, the simple solution for the war crimes to end would be for the Russian invaders to admit they fucked up, retreat to the borders that were recognized in 2013 and start preparing for the trials at The Hague.

But, Putin is too weak and much like Tankies need to tank… Russian fascists need to fash.

Yeah, “dronie” would be the correct term a tankie would use for a person who supports a country that was invaded by fascists defending themselves.

It’s a tankie, that’s their answer to everything they can’t strawman around.

Russia, the living embodiment of: You can tell when they are lying because their lips are moving.

Honesty shocked we haven’t heard “killed by the Ukrainian Nazi terrorists” yet from the Kremlin.

You’re consistently framing this as a war between the USA and Russia.

He does that because he knows Russia was wrong to invade, can’t admit it and needs to make bullshit up to sustain his world view.

As everyone seems to say: Tankies gonna tank

Another vote for TrueNAS core here. Have been running it for a couple of years with no major issues.

It’s amazing how many people who say “you need to read xxx” have never actually read it…

The Parties agree that an armed attack against one or more of them in Europe or North America shall be considered an attack against them all and consequently they agree that, if such an armed attack occurs, each of them, in exercise of the right of individual or collective self-defence recognized by Article 51 of the Charter of the United Nations, will assist the Party or Parties so attacked by taking forthwith, individually and in concert with the other Parties, such action as it deems necessary, including the use of armed force, to restore and maintain the security of the North Atlantic area.

Thats from the NATO website. Doesn’t say they need to convene, it says that any member is allowed to respond in any manner they deem necessary.

NATO countries have more than 10,000 troops deployed in Poland. The last time Russia played a game of FAFO with the US,it ended poorly. Repeating that with NATO would be infinitely worse.

And no, despite Russian fanboy insistance, the US isn’t low on ammo. From the Secretary of the Army’s testimony to congress:

“[the Army is] comfortable that the amount of lethal assistance we’ve been providing is not eroding our readiness, but we keep a close eye on that.”

There may be issues with the amount of excess the US has to give away, I’ll believe that when I see the US govt stop sending it.

The new version of lead.
