  1.  @christosswc  Afghan population decreased during the Soviet invasion and increased during American occupation. Just saying.

  2. Several Japanese cities burned to the ground conventionally. It didn't succeed.

  3. But it wasn't terror bombing. Serbian tried to preserve forces by concealing themselves and changing positions so the pilots simply skipped ahead to the secondary targets.

  4. Gulf was one sided in hindsight. At the time people were saying it was going to be George HW Bush's Vietnam and it would be a months long meatgrinder.
    2
  5. No, because cities had already burned to the ground prior to the deplpyment of nukes. If terror bombing worked, surrender would have happened much sooner.

  6. Electric power has gone down and back up in Ukraine multiple times. Russia still had to give up Kherson. It's a good way of winning the war if you win. If you're just losing, it doesn't win you anything

  7.  @grahamstrouse1165  And modern artillery can be picked off too.

  8.  @bruceinoz8002  the US also developed aircraft, counter battery radar, long range precision guided rocket artillery, etc.

  9. Nice Russian talking points you have there. Russian analyst Atomic Cherry estimated 25k KIA and disabled Ukrainians as of August 8th. About 6 months of war. Even if they took 25k irrecoverable casualties in the last 4 months, that's still only a quarter of their original army out of action. Meanwhile Russia had the bulk of their professional army destroyed. The assistance has been paid for. Stockpiles were purchased years, if not decades ago. Javelins cannot shoot down airliners. You are ignorant.

  10.  @AussieMaleTuber  But that's not true. There's not a single mainstream source saying that 40% of weapons are missing. If that was true - how embarassing for Russia. They're being defeated by a military at 40% capacity. Official Russian statements are cope. Moskva is returning to port under its own power, remember? I scoff at that because Russian officials have lied since the start. Including about not invading Ukraine, just doing exercises.

  11.  @janhaanstra2245  in the US people who are not liberal calling themselves "liberals" made it less of a badge of honor.

  12.  @PalleRasmussen  there was a surender narrative for the population and for the military. The military didn't give a fig about a city being wiped out, the US had done it before. The military wanted to continue the war despite the Emperor.
    1
  13.  @PalleRasmussen  I read perfectly. You claim terror bombing worked. I said it didn't because the military wanted to keep fighting and they may have had to disobey direct imperial orders. It was the futility of the fight that convinced most of the military to stop and accept the orders.

  14. There was going to be a land invasion later. The proponents of air power argued that an air campaign could start something like two weeks earlier. So the outcome was guaranteed, the delay tactics were nullified so it was time for negotiations.

  15. The US didn't stop any gas. Germany refused to certify NS1 and Russia halted deliveries on NS1.

  16.  @gerilac86  Again, they bombed infrastructure because Serbs wanted to preserve their forces for their little genocides. The military fighting off an invader? No, it's to use against civilians. American pilots who have talked about their experience said what happened, they got called to bomb the military but they ran away, so they moved to the next target in line. Even getting told off by their superior officers because they kept dropping bombs on facilities that already had been bombed instead of causing more destruction to the country. The Yugo army's combat capabilities were missing in action. If they wanted to fight they'd get a fight, but their role was oppressing unarmed people and combating organizations like the KLA. We could have won militarily, if the Serbs showed up to the fight.

  17. They secured the airport because there was no point in forcing them out after the Ukrainians shelled the runway.
    1
  18.  @Keiranful  The militia was quickly reinforced, and you can't land transports under mortar fire. Even a fragmentation mortar would turn a jet-fuel laden aircraft into a funeral pyre. So your argument is backwards. The initial objective was failed because the defenses were not suppressed enough to land, and later the runway was cratered so even the reinforcement of the initial VDV forces could not accomplish the ultimate goal.

  19. US manned aircraft would wipe the floor in Ukraine if they were allowed to intervene, what the hell are you on about?

  20. T-62s are not doing very well.

  21. I've seen bodies split apart and corpses charred into coal black. I've never seen a ties up person executed on the side of the road.

  22.  @1KosovoJeSrbija1  I don't have only one source. Maybe your sources who have been saying that Russians are winning all this time are wrong? Maybe they lied to you?
    1
  23.  @daroniussubdeviant3869  it's still not proof that terror bombing works because several Japanese towns got conventionally burned to the ground before.

  24. Projection. It's Russia who sends wave after wave into artillery kill zones.

  25. How do you feel about guzzling Russian propaganda straight from the tap?

  26.  @matthabir4837  Flat earthers are the ones claiming Russia is right and the West destroyed the pipelines.

  27. Sure. Is it going to work? No. Russia still gave up Kherson. The infrastructure attacks are not delaying the inevitable.

  28.  @springbloom5940  Don't know what's that supposed to mean. Russia has attempted to break Ukraine's will and they keep getting pushed out of Ukrainian land. Now they're setting up defenses for Crimea. Hell of a 3 day special operation.

  29. Nice cope. NATO servants? Remember when most of NATO disagreed with the Iraq war? So the US went in with Brits, Aussies and a few Polish special forces. Muh existencial crisis. All they have to do is go home. We don't want their backwater country or their people. No, the war would not have been over. Ukrainians would be killing Russians in the streets of Kiev. I always heard of 22 suicides a day in the US armed forces veterans. I bet the Ukrainians would make the Russians do 50.

  30. The New Atlas said HIMARS was a nothingburger months ago lol he's a doofus

  31. Pilots were given primary and secondary targets. Because Milosevic cared more about preserving his fighting force and had the military equipent concealed and moved to avoid a fight the pilots skipped to the secondary targets. If the Serbs wanted to fight we would have given them a fight but since they wanted to play games we played games too.

  32. They had to resort to Iranian drones. Funny how that works. The 300 bil weren't "investments" lmao

  33. Mercenaries fight for profit and are not part of the armed forces. Volunteers in Ukraine get contracted into the Ukrainian military and receive Ukrainian papers, and their pay is lower than working at McDonald's.

  34.  @altergreenhorn  lol we all know this isn't true. They already used reservists, they were the BARS units. These are mobiks.

  35.  @iangreenhalgh9280  A year of service doing fuck all. Everyone knows the conscription in Russia is a wasted year. Ukraine has the capacity to train their own troops. We just expanded it. Why would we want to leave resources untapped? Ukraine can generate troops, we want them to have even more. We want them to win. Simple as.
    1
  36.  @iangreenhalgh9280  Love how your comment is shadowbanned. Try using less "strong" words. Conscripts could not legally be used in Georgia, Syria or CAR. So returning those people with 1 year experience in cleaning toilets and getting beat up to military service doesn't gift them military experience. The war veterans already have been fighting for Wagner, Redut, etc.

  37.  @nivkorah683  The Republican Guard in Iraq was well equipped and determined, and their training was superior to most forces in the region. They managed to preserve many combat units so them avoiding destruction in battle was what allowed Saddam to put down the rebellions. When Saddam changed tactics and had his most determined loyalists dressed as civilians and holed up in cities to create a meatgrinder for the coalition, they skipped the cities and kept moving towards Baghdad to bypass the defensive rings. I think we do pretty well. We can face the enemy twice and even though he gains experience to throw us curveballs we manage to succeed.

  38. Meanwhile Ukrainians asked for tanks, and used them in offensives.

  39. Aircraft used to be faster but the age of the interceptor ended with the ICBM.

  40. You do realize they financed and trained half the communist uprisings, with the other half being backed by Maoist China, right?
    1
  41. Then why didn't they declare surrender after the firebombings?
    1
  42. The civilian infrastructure had been targeted before. The plan to attack the grid was cooked up before the bridge attack. We can't be playing basketball and you threaten to shoot my family if I score. Ukraine is planning to win a war and thus they targeted the supply lines. Trying to come aroud and say Ukraine received "fair warning" is outright demonic.

  43. Let's see infantry against an Apache with Longbow radar.

  44.  @almitrahopkins1873  So? You can't hit an Apache that can lob missiles from behind hills and hit you without your Stinger seeker ever being able to see the heat signature.

  45.  @lllPlatinumlll  then the argument isn't about the bombing but just doing things that make your enemy act irrationally.

  46. Seethe.

  47. The firebombings achieved similar effects, and didn't.

  48. They shut off NS1 citing nonsense oil leaks. They just smeared oil on a control panel.
    1
  49. You misunderstand. Russia spent two decades crafting a weapon. Specially made for us. They pointed it at our collective heads and pulled the trigger. Misfire. At that point, what is the course of action? Forgive and forget? Or take the malfunctioning weapon out of the assailant's hands and use it as a blunt instrument against his skull?

  50.  @Lovemy1911a1  We cut off trade because we need to starve their war machine. How can you blame us?
    1
  51.  @Lovemy1911a1  We consider Ukraine to be one of us. And they will become a EU member after the war. They have attacked our friends, and even if they were not our friends we think it's an injustice. Their revenue comes from an increase in sales. If you are having a panicked firesale, that doesn't mean you're good at business. The major buyers are getting their reserves filled so they cannot take much more unless the price is right. Remember when during lockdowns jet fuel went into the negative? Almost nobody was flying to reserves were full and ships had to dump it or lose money. That's Russia. The Russians started the economic war by making us dependent. Economic stability? Russia is an unstable supplier. It won't blow up in our faces. Russia is relying on Iran because their weapons manufacturing has issues.

  52. The swarm of drones will take massive losses against any unit with access to airburst cannon rounds. Meanwhile a tank and its crew can survive multiple clashes with the enemy (who has tanks, RPGs and ATGMs).

  53. But the firebombings were just as destructive and didn't end the war. Russia also conducted an orderly retreat from Kiev early in the war.

  54. Most civilian casualties in Donbas were accidents with mines or unexploded ordinance.

  55. "Resisting" lol

  56. Nice try, vatnik. Also, pretty sure you used a slur. Wonder what happens if I decide to report it for hate speech?
