  1. Russia is scared shitless of the US and will do anything to avoid war with them, worrying about ww3 is silly
    12
  2. Russia is scared shitless of the US and will do anything to avoid war with them, worrying about nuclear war is just pure fantasy
    11
  3. yeah and they only sent 4 HIMARS, then they sent more, you understand it's possible to send more right?
    10
  4. american taxpayers are paying to maintain a bunch of old shite, better to send them to fulfill their purpose
    9
  5. Russia collapsed twice in the twentieth century, so it's not exactly outside the realm of possibility
    8
  6. single digit civilians were killed in 8 years, meanwhile Russia flattens Grozny and kills 10-20% of the entire Chechen population
    8
  7. it's unlikely Russia can afford the tritium for thermonuclear weapons
    8
  8. dont make fun of glorious chinese knockoffs this is final warning from china
    8
  9. yeah it's like these fools forgot about desert storm or something, we already know what Abrams vs Soviet armor looks like and its a slaughterhouse
    8
  10. A-10 would be able to do what Ukrainian frogfoots are currently doing, lob rockets from over the horizon, which arguably could just be done from the back of a toyota
    7
  11. you blockade the straights of malacca and in 6 months 500 million starve to death in the dark, not a hard war
    7
  12. we're only giving them old junk nothing we actually want to use, still enough to defeat russia
    7
  13. yeah and spending 2% is a triumph, only 2% and you can ensure your safety, historically countries would spend damn near everything on defense

  14.  @pilotmanpaul  the cream of the Russian army was lost early in the war, they ARE using the monkey models
    6
  15.  @rorymcclernon4674  the corpses become cover to subsequent human waves and can become a problem
    5
  16. Putin has more red lines then a candy cane and we routinely cross them with no ill effect
    5
  17.  @highjumpstudios2384  I've also heard the infantry is vulnerable to bullets
    5
  18. even if this was true (it's not) it would be a small price to pay to be rid of Russia forever
    4
  19.  @juanspicywiener  for the same reaon the Moskva had its fire extinguishers locked up, corruption. you cant store H bombs long term you need to constantly resupply the tritium which is very difficult, even the US struggles with this, also once thing we learned with START is that their missiles are all sitting in 20ft of water
    4
  20.  @jimmyjams9036  huh? even one of the middle NATO powers like France or the UK could take Russia out with little trouble, also there's this new technology called stealth which renders planes more or less impervious to the mythical Russian AA (which is so great it can't even manage to stop HIMARS) furthermore the airpower would be augmented by an overwhelming cruise missile strike paving the was for the huge amounts of 4th gen fighters still in service, which are far better and exist in FAR greater numbers then anything Russia can bring to bare. literally the only countries that need to fear Russia is its's weak neighbors
    4
  21. Leo 1 is old but it's fast so it's a good infantry support/defensive tank
    4
  22. China is on the brink of collapse itself, and they are easier to defeat then Russia, just blockade straights of malacca and half the population starves in the dark in half a year
    4
  23.  @pilotmanpaul  Russia's best has been mostly destroyed already, why do you think they are using human wave tactics already? are you simple or something?
    4
  24.  @martinilopez1  let me know when you guys capture bakhmut
    4
  25. it's a shame the brits went with that silly rifled barrel due to their strange obsession with hesh or it would make things easier
    3
  26.  @nicolasbascunan4013  this isn't ww1 or ww2 with huge formations its small groups, with a tac nuke you kill a couple people and accomplish nothing
    3
  27.  @jakemocci3953  giving a bunch of old junk we aren't going to use anyways to defeat the russian army isn't the same as a foreign war, you understand that right?
    3
  28.  @duitk  no you build the wall out of tanks obviously
    3
  29. From the state of the Russian army i wouldn't be surprised if they had to resort to molotovs soon
    3
  30. I support Ukraine because Russia getting ANYTHING from this war will send the message to other autocrats that they can do the same and many more wars will be waged, and let me preempt your "b-b-b-but american imperialism" with a yeah other stuff exists
    3
  31. i've always had a soft spot for leo 1, yeah its low armor and old but it's fast and makes a decent infantry support/defensive tank
    3
  32.  @benhooper1956  it's also better then a toyota hilux with a recoiless rifle in the back
    3
  33. if we sent troops it would be the most one sided ass whooping since desert storm
    3
  34. yeah thats true but the German army is bad on purpose, though they seem to be coming to their senses. we'll see though
    3
  35.  @jimmiller5600  I thought he meant that Russia would collapse before then
    3
  36.  @theimmortal4718  that's true but it would have been nice if europe didnt' let its militaries atrophy into borderline uselessness in the first place
    3
  37. orcium
    3
  38. If you want peace prepare for war
    3
  39. I think it's unlikely but Russia did collapse twice in the twentieth century so it's not exactly outside the realm of possibility
    3
  40. yeah interesting how Russia is being defeated without NATO even having to fight, not how i pictured ww3
    3
  41.  @jimmyjams9036  NATO doesn't rely on arty they use overwhelming air power and cruise missiles, then they send in the tanks to clean up the few survivors (see desert storm) meanwhile Russia can't even take Bakhmut after a year of banging their head against it, i'm not really sure what sort of dream world you live in that you think Russia i a serious threat to any country in NATO, and this was before Russia lost the cream of its army due to incomprehensible ineptitude and corruption.
    3
  42.  @tetraxis3011  Russia would have pulled this sht in the baltics already if they weren't in NATO
    3
  43.  @jimmyjams9036  how long do you think it would take NATO to take Bakhmut if they needed to? if it was NATO vs Ukraine for some reason it would take NATO about a month for NATO air forces to destroy Ukranian air defences and then another month of ground operation to clean up. and Western tech has come a long way since then while Russia's is even further behind then sadams was in desert storm comparatively. Sadam had a million man army also and guess what they also used Russian anti air weapons. As far as integrated air defense goes Baghdad was the most heavily defended city in the world (with the mythical russian aa) and a large airforce and the US walked all over them. no thinking person can possibly think that Russia would have any hope of even making a dent in nato forces. Russia has no answer to stealth, Russian AA cant even manage to stop non stealth HIMARS from ruining their war. it absolutely WOULD be a walk in the park, and that's before the war with Ukraine where they lost anything, the teeth of the russian army has already been taken out by Ukraine for crying out loud, and Ukraine doesn't have a scary army. I'm not sure how anyone with half a brain can look at the last year of disaster and think russia is a credible threat to ANYONE except their weak neighbors
    3
  44.  @theprogressivecynic2407  EXACTLY tell it to @jimmyjams
    3
  45.  @jimmyjams9036  do you think if the US had F-35's in Vietnam that those numbers would have been different? you realize that Isreal flies F-35's over s-400's in syria and they cant do shit. as far as Casualties go the war would look alot like desert storm + geography. the West is DECADES ahead of Russia when it comes to technology. All the old Soviet expertise is long gone and Russia is totally dependent on western tech to do anything.
    3
  46.  @jimmyjams9036  First of all i'm not sure if you've been keeping up but Isreal HAS agreed to send weapon systems to Ukraine the Russians DO turn on their s-400's in Syria and cant engage shit, there is nothing that would make Russia happier then being able to shoot down an F-35 for the propaganda points. Being able to detect that there are stealth aircraft operating in the general area and actually being able to engage them are two very different things. The reason that F-117 got shot down is because the Americans flew the same flight path at the same time day after day and some clever serb noticed this and shot it down. Which reminded the Americans to never underestimate their enemy, and it's a mistake that they will NEVER make again with stealth aircraft. Furthermore the stealth aircraft around today are orders of magnitude more advanced then that old relic designed in the 80's. and even if the Americans had ZERO stealth aircraft and had to rely on 4th gen aircraft they would still have air supremacy in a month. those satellites that can spot whales can also see SAM sites so what you do is you launch a massive barrage of cruise missiles destroying a bulk of Russian AA, then you send in the F-16's to wild weasel the few survivors then you mop up the rest, ezpz. and thats assuming the Russians weren't completely incompetent WHICH THEY ARE

  47. If NATO was at war with Russia it would be the most one sided face roll since desert storm
    3
  48. multiple sources seem to indicate that this timetable will be accelerated, but who knows for sure.
    2
  49.  @nicolasbascunan4013  Russia is sared shitless of the US and will do everythng to avoid war with them, putin has more red lines then a candy cane and we routinely walk all over them with no effect
    2
  50.  @Knight_Kin  mostly it's just junk Chinese knockoffs of Russian junk, also witht he chip ban coming into effect China's ability to build new stuff is dubious at best
    2
  51.  @garretttobin7451  um even Gorbachev said there was no promose, it exists only in putins wet dreams, also if the Baltics etc hadn't joined NATO they'd have gotten the Russian treatment already "oh no Russian nationals are being oppressed we better go save them"
    2
  52.  @BertoxolusThePuzzled  you live in a fantasy world, according to the UN report in 2020 8 civilians in the donbass were killed on both sides of the line by hostilites by shelling 17 by mines and a 1 by other causes in 2021 by shelling it was 7 and 12 by mines, so all the shelling resulted in approx 1 civilian every 2 months, which OBVIOULY is cause for invasion, meanwhile Russia flattens Grozny and kills 10-20% of the entire population, you are parroting Putins propoganda numbers as fact
    2
  53. Russia is NOT THE SOVIET UNION, russia cant even make ball bearings anymore they are a complete joke
    2
  54.  @paddy3002  you been spending too much time on twitter
    2
  55.  @paddy3002  careful globohomo agents dont get you!!
    2
  56. we've sent loads of bridging equipment so far...
    2
  57. let them eat tanks, genius
    2
  58.  @morganingemarsson9494  Yeah, Russia is already resorting to human wave tactics and despite what some may think Russia isn't the soviet union and cant afford loses like this indefinitely
    2
  59. because there's thousands of Abrams and 31 is just the start
    2
  60.  @jamieimbusch  what's your point? it's like saying we fought Russia in Vietnam. If NATO was fighting for real it would look like desert storm + geography and be one of the most one sided ass whoopings in all of human history
    2
  61.  @BertoxolusThePuzzled  Russia can't even make ball bearings anymore they are far from competent
    2
  62.  @BertoxolusThePuzzled  Russia doesn't produce ANY tanks a month, T-90's are just refurbished T-72's and all the electronics are bought from a 3rd party for a huge mark up. Also BRICS isn't an actual organization its some tech bro's investment fantasy, are you simple or something?
    2
  63.  @BertoxolusThePuzzled  holy shit you're retarded. BRICS AS A TERM OR CONCEPT DIDN'T EXIST UNTIL SOME WALSTREET BRO INVENTED IT TO DESCRIBE HIS INVESTMENT STRATEGY. DO YOU UNDERSTAND??? PLEASE LOOK IT UP BEFORE YOU SAY SOMETHING ELSE MORONIC. if you think any of those countries care about each other you really are delusional, do you think India and China give a rats ass about eachother??
    2
  64. Egypt can manage, i'm sure Ukraine will figure it out
    2
  65.  @tetraxis3011  do you have reading comprehension trouble? 1. if US and china are the ony ones that can take out Russia then why are they losing to Ukraine? 2. I never said the s400 can take out HIMARS i said Russian air defence cant take out HIMARS, this is known BECAUSE HIMARS ARE WRECKING RUSSIAN SHIT ALL OVER 3. you understand that being able to detect stealth aircraft operating in a general area and actually being able to engage them are two very different things, and no russia has nothing that can engage stealth aircraft reliably please get a clue. If stealth is useles then why are Russia and China trying frantically to develop (inferior) stealth tech of their own?
    2
  66.  @jimmyjams9036  no Israel said turn off your AA or we'll destroy it, thats the agreement, Russia woud love to say no but its AA cant touch F35, and Isreal agreed to send missile defence to ukraine
    2
  67. yeah Russia cant even take bahkmut in a year and have done nothing but lose ground since the original shock of the attack wore off, against a non scary ukranian army that poland would absolutely trash 1v1. but yeah they are totally a threat to NATO. Idiot
    2
  68.  @jimmyjams9036  its russia vs Ukraine with some old junk we weren't going to use anyways.
    2
  69.  @jimmyjams9036  your right though Russia super scary, they are just farting around outside Bakhmut sending human waves and t 62's for the last year to trick the Globohomo westoids into thinking they are weak. hey remember when they dug in by Chernobyl and got acute radiation poisoning, then suicided the cream of their army on a brain dead attack on Kyiv that any general would tell you had a zero percent chance of working
    2
  70. go watch some videos of their training, where they do karate and jump over fire. and not as a joke they are actually serious. literally everything about their army is a joke, training, leadership, morale. Their MBTs keep ammo spread around the hull so any sort of damage results in a catastrophic explosion. The only new tank they have tried to build in the last 3 decades is the t14, and they've managed to build a dozen or so in the last 15 years, and most of them are broke down. nobody except their weak neighbors take these fools serious
    2
  71.  @jimmyjams9036  with START we learned that all their ICBM's are sitting in 20 feet of water, our subs famously follow their loud ass strat subs around and would have them sunk before they get their launch doors open, their only real allies on the world stage are Syria and North Korea, all others like China and Iran would stab them in the back if it benefited them in any way.
    2
  72.  @judelanoue9334  Russia cant even make ball bearings anymore are you on glue? also since the chip ban china can't make much more then smart blenders these days never mind defend the straights of malacca
    2
  73.  @patrickjanecke5894  Yeah if china manages to make landfall in force by some miracle i'll eat my shoe
    2
  74. Why surrender when they're winning?
    2
  75.  @jarink1  yeah without complete air supremacy helo's are a death trap in most cases, unparallel in militia stomping though
    2
  76. presumably western aircraft are next on the list of stuff we're sending
    2
  77.  @Achmedsander  also this is Russia's last war as they are in terminal demographic decline, so once they are spent here we are done with Russia, forever.
    2
  78.  @peteratgoogle2241  The China town in my city is mostly Chinese, hopefully China doesn't invade!
    1
  79.  @BertoxolusThePuzzled  um no its literally some wall street guys investment portfolio there are no signed treaties and it's not a real organization and not any one of those countries would piss on another if they were on fire please learn some basic information before you embarrass yourself further
    1
  80. Russia already using t-62's, what they going to use against NATO t-55's? super scary. you know part of the reason the Moskva sank, aside from incompentence is because they had to keep they fire extinguishers locked up because people kept stealing them, thats the sort of country Russia is, a complete joke. nobody takes them seriously in the west, except you apparently
