  1.  @benahaus  you know what he means.. or you're stewpid. It's a decoy missile with no payload meant to saturate an air defense system so the actual payload missiles have a higher chance of getting through...

  2. I would limit offensive weapons to systems which directly inflict damage. Decoy systems do not deal direct damage, they aren't offensive systems they are enabling systems. Like, an older plane using a sensor pod to enable it to detect threats from greater distance and thus still be relevant in modern warfare. Or even a scope, alone it's worthless, put it on a sniper rifle and it becomes the enabling system for landing long range shots. *sorry I'm just nitpicking I guess

  3.  @feelincrispy7053  Then what is an AGM-88 HARM? Counter defense or offensive missile? Or Both? *I liked your comment, it's not critique just wondering.

  4.  @HereticDuo  i feel the exact same way., Anything holding a gun or enabling something holding a gun pointed at our Ukrainian brothers is a deserving target of war. They can always refuse conscription and take some jail time or better escape imperialistic terroruzzia all together

  5. ​ @supertuscans9512  EU will happen in 2 to 4 years max, and it could happen much sooner depending on how the steps to combat corruption are being perceived by the bigger EU countries. Access to single market likely even faster ( and rightfully so, we 'the west' should do everything in our power to welcome Ukraine to the democratic side and make sure this pays off for their voters. Also, Budapest Memorandum is still clear, as is the UN -> Ukraine's borders are those which include Donbass and Crimea let alone any other regions the orcs are still holding. NATO can not happen until Ukraine is formally at peace with Russia. Instead, they will keep receiving NATO weapons, NATO will share intel with them, NATO will set up maintenance and supply chains and before the end of this year NATO will have provided more modern airplanes to the Ukrainian air force and will continue to train Ukraine's military. Which is I think as good as we can ask for. NATO can not let any country join with an ongoing border dispute, it would mean triggering article 5 the moment Ukraine becomes a NATO member and there are still orcs inside it's sovereign borders. So let's just give Ukraine EVERYTHING they need to get those orcs out, and then we can have them join without issue with the benefit that their military will already be not only trained in NATO doctrine, but also the most battle tested and hardened military units currently serving under NATO flag.

  6.  @skinniestfatman5641  But it's also 'counter defense' for the exact same reason, it takes out enemy radars which denies them anti-air capabilities; target acquisition and tracking as well as removes their awareness of linked/future strikes on other targets ( which rely on the HARM to enable them to strike undetected/unopposed ). But I agree it's an offensive weapon, since it definitely packs a punch and it's meant to take out a target not just blind it or distract it. I'm just thinking that it still also falls under 'counter defense', especially anti-radiation missiles fit that description perfectly.

  8.  @supertuscans9512  I'm sorry, climate change has already affected food prices what the heck are you talking about? Sounds to me like you don't know what you're talking about if you think climate change hasn't already affected global markets even beyond food/famine. Rebuilding plans for Ukraine will partially be done with frozen assets, though legally this needs some 'reinterpretation' of certain laws. But you're right, it should punish the elite and the enablers, not feed a new generation with more or less justified feelings of being unjustly punished. Ideally, Russia would get leadership which would accept responsibility and not only withdraw their forces but also agree that with their shrunken economy it's better to spend their resources on their economy then on their military. The trick isn't removing Putler, it's making sure Russians get leadership which focuses on economic prosperity not territorial expansion. Sadly Russia is democratically more in line with Turkey ( or should I say that the other way around )? State media control goes a long way sadly. In the 90's there was a small chance, I remember there were even talks of Russia joining NATO... but the entire current generation has been brainwashed to think 'the west hates us' while the west couldn't care less unless they invade other countries. And those who aren't brainwashed are to scared to speak out for the most part. The silent majority therefore in Russia might not want this war, it doesn't mean it will show in 'elections' there. Btw, can't link because off our Youtube overlords... but -> 'Results showed that 22 out of 26 studies from 615 articles, identified in the meta-analysis predicted the food price ratio would be fluctuated up to 28% before 2020, while the ratio will be marked up at 31% from 2020 to 2049 and then will scale down during 2050-2100. The compiled ratio was estimated at 26% in the long period between 2000 until 2100 under climatic weather events. Drought was a significant weather disturbance with a 32% increase in food prices.'
