  2.  @Edi_J  it's literally recognized as a racial hate term, stop trying to justify racial hate (also you can be racist against your own race bud) also stop trying to appropriate Tolkien into your propaganda, the man absolutely hated propaganda and would want no place in your justifying hate in his name especially racial hatred that he spent years denouncing it's absolutely pathetic that you would try and appropriate a man so vehemently against racial hatred and propaganda into your justifications for racial hatred and propaganda. Absolutely pathetic

  3. ​​​ @crawkn bro you realize US Veterans have stated the way the US trains to fight wars wouldn't work in Ukraine or really any war? in fact NATO tactics failed pretty spectacularly (still laughing at German trainers saying "oh a minefield? just drive around it") this isn't Desert Storm where 20+ nations support you and you have 3,000 plus aircraft working unimpeded for weeks on end. This is two large nations with two large militaries going one on one, the US would face heavy casulties in a war all the same also what's your source on Russia not being trained for a modern war? according to Major General Vadym Skibitsky, Deputy Chief of Ukrainian Military Intelligence "We are not fighting the same Russia as two years ago, we are not repulsing the attacks of conscripts who don't know what they are doing. We are facing a new beast now, under a unified command with a single vision, their soldiers are being trained on things they have learned from the war, they are adapting" Contrary to the echoe chamber you live in, Russia has mainly been taking in Volunteers over the last year to replace its combat losses, and is currently training and expanding multiple units for the Summer Offensive, even ISW has stated that Russian troops are receiving far more training than they were at the beginning of the war and are seeing longer training times than what the Ukrainians are

  4.  @crawkn  my guy, the war was always going to devolve to this, again this isn't Desert Storm (which is the US only real go at "conventional war" in the last 50 years or so) where you have 20+ nations and thousands of aircraft working unimpeded, NATO doctrine specifically plans to give up territory to form a solid defensive line and then push back against Russia/USSR our doctrine literally plans to cede territory. You won't see another war like Desert Storm happen most likely ever again, just not going to happen, near every single war in the modern world that has seen near peer or countries with large armies and air defenses has resulted in trench lines, artillery duels, or protracted wars also Russia has never relied on Human Waves, ISW has for the past two years been trying to discredit and crush that narrative as there isn't any proof of massed infantry assaults. Russia for the past year and a half has mainly been using small Platoon or Squad sized assault elements, rarely do we see anything larger (and when we do you can expect to see it plastered over western media) and the results lately haven't been pathetic, Russia has captured 20+ towns and villages in the last month, two Ukrainian brigades are almost surrounded in pockets around Ocheretyne, 3 Ukrainian brigades have been disbanded in the last two months for abandoning their positions. and speaking on casulties, from a purely textbook view Russia is actually taking the amount of casulties you would expect to see when assaulting entrenched positions over flat land when your enemy has an elevation advantage (which Ukraine currently holds in multiple sectors) also I think you are reading Ukriniforms stats which regularly state over 1,000 Russians dead or wounded a day and even western sources have stated its best to take those numbers with a large grain of salt as most western estimates put Russian wounded and dead at an averag of 300-500 dead or combat wounded at most

  5.  @crawkn  also just to cement what I said about NATO not expecting a rapid war against Russia/USSR, the A10 fleet was expected to be completely wiped out within a month of war against the USSR. NATO planned on abandoning (and our doctrines basically still do) most of Europe to form a solid defensive line in France or Germany

  6.  @crawkn  my guy what you are failing to realize is your entire concept of modern war is a the Gulf War, a war where 20+ nations, 3000+ aircraft and one of the largest infantry forces assembled since ww2 worked basically unimpeded, that's not going to happen again. Take one quick look at any modern war where two armies with capable air defenses and large ground forces went to war and guess what happens? Trench warfare, static lines, massive casulties. NATO doctrine to this day plans on ceding territory to Russia to form a solid line, the only nation's defying that so far are the Baltic states NATO doesn't train to breach large minefields, they don't train to breach dense fortifications or operate under intense EW and AD, dozens upon dozens of NATO veterans fighting in Ukraine have wholly stated that the way NATO trains and fights left them wholly unprepared for a war like Ukraine (which NATO would face if we fought a nation like Russia or China no matter what your fantasy world believes) sure NATO will win in the long term, but we will take casualties, we will lose ships, we will lose airframes and pilots, we will see units get bogged down in infantry on infantry fights. Because Russia isn't Iraq
