  1.  @benachiesween  Human waves is the WORSE attack one can make against a fortified position. You get mowed down in a shooting gallery. Just look at Vuledar.

  2. There are weak spots in the Russian line, particularly between Vuledar and Zaphorezia. Punch through and either roll up behind them or make a split dive towards Melitopol and Mariupol.

  3.  @livingtribunal4110  Yeah, you sure showed me. Try actually debating what I said rather than acting like a seal barking and clapping after getting a fish.

  4.  @mattburns8839  Thank you for proving that you don't actually have an argument worth making. If auto-correct putting in the wrong word is the best you can do, you have already lost the debate. Learn to debate as well as to code. “I always cheer up immensely if an attack is particularly wounding because I think, well, if they attack one personally, it means they have not a single political argument left.” ― Margaret Thatcher

  5. Not is it not. Even Democrat lawyers say that you cannot count each transaction as if it were a separate crime. How about you try reading the RICO statute before you speak in complete ignorance.

  6. No, you have zero clue how the legal system works. Time on the statute of limitations does NOT suspend just because he leaves the state. Even Democrat lawyers refute your claims. You are grasping at straws.

  7. So it is okay to just accept the failures of autocracies but not the inherent weaknesses of capitalism? Nice to see you are not interested in honest debate.

  8. Are there two Korean nations or only one? Taiwan and mainland China have been separated far longer than the Koreans. That alone is reason enough to justify Taiwan's independence.

  9.  @CountDuckEgg  Perun, a defense logistic channel got into that very topic and if you actually watch his videos, he even cites the sources. Yes, Russia can produce shells, but even by Russia's own numbers, they are burning through shells faster than they can produce them. It nicely explains why the number of fires at the start of the war have now dropped to barely a thrid.

  10.  @boink800  True that. But I consider it good debate practice to wrestle with them.

  11. Tacitly, they have made gains, but on a strategic level, they have lost spectacularly. NATO is not more united than they have ever been since the 1980s. More members, and now with Finland as a member, Russia is even MORE vulnerable.
    2
  12. I tend to think the latter. As a British flag officer, he KNOWS that there is zero difference between "tactical" and "strategic" nukes. ANY use of nukes is a strategic escalation resulting in launch of Trident ICBMs.

  13.  @brokenrecord3095  Sadly, that is the madman scenario. In that someone with nothing to lose will take the whole world with him in an atomic Armageddon.

  14. The euphemisms were originally Russia making excuses. The Ukrainians adopted it to mock and disparage them.

  15. I take claims of Russians destroying Patriot batteries as seriously as I take their reports of destroyed HIMARs and Bradleys.

  16. Or as Teddy Roosevelt said, "speak softly, but carry a big stick".

  17.  @michaelmazowiecki9195  I agree with you on all of that. Going forward, the best situation would be a partitioning of the Russian Federation. Several smaller national boundaries would help to quell violence and animosity between the local populations. Chechnya and Dagestan should be a single Republic. Tuva should be a separate country. Yakutia should be independent. And several more could be listed as well.

  18.  @douglastaggart9360  Russians flew Egyptian aircraft during both their wars with Israel. That was simply a continuation of the practice started in Korea.

  19.  @spidif2544  Yeah, several military experts laughed at Billy Mitchell when he argued for Air Power and warned that there was a glaring weakness in the defenses of Pearl Harbor. Exactly 15 years (minus 10 days) after he was court-martialed, the Japanese conducted the attack on Pearl Harbor exactly as he predicted.

  20. I would argue that burning down Twitter is just as important to human survival as space travel. Social media has become a net negative on stability in the world, and the people previously running Twitter were purposely throwing gas on the fire.

  21.  @davidcjupp  All people on the left think they are in the center. If you believe in censorship, you do NOT believe in open dialogue. If you have to silence people you disagree with, it means you can't effectively debate nor refute their augment. And no, just because someone disagree with you does NOT mean they are a "right wing extremist". "When you tear out a man's tongue, you don't prove him a liar, you just show to the word that you fear what he has to say," -George R.R. Martin, author of "A Song of Fire and Ice", more popularly known as "Game of Thrones".

  22. Calm down. Half the hype on BOTH sides of the conflict is overblown. But what you can be assured of is that the Ukraine being able to hold out as long as they have against a numerically superior foe, defying ALL expectations is itself a victory. The fact that Russia failed to take Kiev or advance anywhere except in Luhansk is already a win for Ukraine. Keep things in context.

  23.  @ajaykumarsingh702  When it comes to amphibious operations, it favors the defenders. Taiwan isn't trying to cross the strait.

  25.  @bgandjsco1  And what if Americans decide to go over there like many did in Ukraine? Are you going to stop them?

  26.  @hgv1883  Taiwan doesn't have to go through the strait. They can bypass it.

  27.  @ascoop22  When Trump took office, the economy soared in just three months. The economic decline came with the lockdowns of which Turmp had zero control. That was LOCAL governments acting fascistic. It NEVER improved under Democrats, only ever getting worse. If everyone knew about Europe's over reliance on Russia, why didn't they DO anything about it? Why did it take Trump stating the blatantly obvious out loud? And why even then they mocked him rather than change their ways? Your problem is that your personal contempt for the man is blinding you to logic and reason. You can't let the man have even one good day which only discredits you, not him.

  28. Agreed. South Korean, Taiwanese, and Japanese students are a safer option as contrasted with mainland Chinese. Heck, even diaspora Chinese populations such as Indonesian and Malaysian Chinese are a safer option.

  29.  @badluck5647  "Asian" in the Commonwealth and the US mean different things. For those who still count the late Queen as their monarch, "Asian" tends to mean Pakistani/Hindu/Indian. For the US, it tends to refer to Northeast Asia, particularly Japan, China, Korea, and Taiwan. Both tend to agree on "Indo" as referring to Southeast Asia.

  30. Agreed. People seem to forget that even Nelson Mandela served time in Jail.

  31. You mean the guy that even CNN doesn't think is believable?
    2
  32.  @gigikontra7023  Yeah, that was part of my point about dismantling the devices. You and I have the creativity to think outside the box. But this guy clearly can't think outside of his official talking points. A clear case of Pavlov's Dog.
    2
  33.  @thepoliticalanalyst5684  Your point being? I guarantee you that with American help, those codes could have been compromised. At a bare minimum, they could have been dismantled for components, particularly the radioactive material to be used in power plants. If giving them up was so symbolic, then why make such a big deal about it? You are trivializing the hand-over. That Russia got to keep the warheads instead of them being dismantled IS a big deal.

  34. Nobody forced Poland, Finland and the Baltic states to join NATO. It was Putin who invaded Ukraine. Stop blaming the victum and apologizing for the bully.

  35. "This Harpy"? How sexist of you. Ad hominin insults like that don't make your argument, it discredits it.
    2
  36. And Konigsberg!

  37. What are you talking about? Both the Kharkov and Kherson offensives occurred without air superiority. While it will greatly facilitate an offensive, that does not mean it is impossible to happen without it.

  38. Considering that it didn't start under Turmp, but Ukraine DID under Biden, I think you are blaming the wrong person.

  39. Wishful thinking. Not surprising from people who listen to the legacy media.

  40.  @besmartvoteblue2702  They said that in 2016. They said that in 2020. Keep drinking the copium dude.

  41.  @danmayberry1185  Pence was Grima Wormtounge. He whispered poison into his ear.

  42. How? Details, not just emotional hyperbolae.

  43.  mark Mierzejewski  That is exactly what Joe Biden did.

  44.  @G_Demolished  Good, because foreign nationals don't get a say in American politics. And as for the American people, buyer's remorse over Biden is strong.

  45. And yet Trafalgar says otherwise. You clearly have never actually met a MAGA person.

  46. And the Dems are not? Spare me your moral outrage, the left is all about political retribution.

  47. Funny how the European elites hated Bolton in the 2000s, but now that he is anti-Trump, they just love him.
    1
  48.  @TheAmazingAdventuresOfMiles  Trump fired Bolton, remember? Have you asked yourself why? Could it be due to the fact that Bolton tried to get Trump to invade Iran and Trump refused? Your Trump Derangement Syndrome is blinding you to hard facts that shatter your own narrative.

  49. The man who wants to invade every country in the middle East? If you love to send your own sons to die for John Bolton's ego, that is on you. Don't waste the lives of other people's children just for one man's vanity.

  50.  @paladro  Are you shill for the neo-feudalist global elite?
