@stovedmatt5514 It’s ambiguous at best, and even if it was a white flag, it doesn’t mean a buttoned up tank commander can see it through the smoke. Even from our better view from above, it looks like a piece of white fabric stuck on a tree branch.
It’s too bad, but you don’t always get to surrender in the middle of a fight. You don’t get to call time out while someone is shooting at you. If you didn’t take the opportunity immediately after the shooting started, you’re just going to have to hold onto your ass until after and hope you survive long enough to surrender.
The smartest thing a Russian soldier can do is surrender at the first opportunity. It’s patriotic, too, as he’ll be able to help his country after it loses to Ukraine. Right now, the Russian soldier is throwing away his own life while helping Putin throw away the well being of Russia.
Speaking of “the Russian soldier” what was the deal with the lone soldier returning to the trench? Was he a one man OP or just out taking a crap? Or is a soldier taking a crap considered to be a one man OP? Fart twice, really loudly, if you see them coming.

Do you even know what the Cuban Missile Crisis was? Do you know how it was resolved? Here is the shortest version that maintains accuracy: the U.S. put nuclear missiles in Turkey. In retaliation, the Soviet Union began putting nuclear missiles in Cuba. After a very dangerous stand off, the Soviets removed the missiles from Cuba and the U.S. removed the missiles from Turkey.
As far as engaging in weird hypotheticals, you’re already ignorant of Mexico’s relationship with the U.S. You seem to be ignorant of the fact that Mexico is not a compliant ally of the U.S. and never has been. Just the same, your hypothetical is absurd and useless when you already have a perfectly good example which you yourself mentioned. Cuba.
Cuba is a very close neighbor of the U.S., slightly more than 100 miles from Florida. Despite Cuba becoming a communist country and aligning with the Soviet Union, the U.S. never invaded Cuba. It never attacked Cuba. The last military action the U.S. saw in Cuba was the Spanish American War, in which U.S. forces fought WITH Cuba against Spain for Cuban independence. The U.S. has had very unfriendly relations with Cuba since Fidel Castro deposed Bautista in 1959 (actually more like since 1960, when Fidel fully embraced the USSR as its patron), but they’ve been peaceful.
So there you have it. The U.S. has had an enemy on its doorstep for over 60 years now and has never invaded it.
If you want to bring up the Bay of Pigs, make sure you mentioned who actually invaded. Answer: Cubans, not the U.S. military.

@frf5000 There is one person at the top of the chain of command, who is the top civilian executive as well as the commander in chief of the armed forces. That person, the President, CAN send our country to war intentionally or unintentionally. However, it’s also true that Presidents have consulted with others and build some sort of consensus before doing so.
So your technically wrong. But the person you replied to, M Vega, is a dummy with no clue about how our constitutional government is supposed to work and has worked for over two centuries, and why we chose an executive branch distinct from the legislative branch back when the constitution was written.
He’s basically saying, “Isn’t anybody troubled that we have an elected leader, rather than a politburo? Gosh, I sure am!”
Going back to your being technically wrong, you’re also sort of right in practice. As I said, an American President has the authority. But that doesn’t mean he has absolute power. In a democracy it’s not enough to give an order, you have to have competent people willing to execute that order. If an order is completely insane, they can block it long enough for you to be legally relieved of command.
Our President doesn’t have absolute power and we have safeguards. I think that might have been what you wanted to say.
