  1. Can you explain why you believe modern Russia is communist, vs a hyper-capitalist kleptocracy?

  2. Missiles don't just flash out of existence when they get hit. Other fires were caused by falling debris, and a bus was set ablaze.

  4. Botski reported. May you soon be drafted.

  6. Much like how a shield doesn't need to outpace an arrow to stop it.

  7.  @paulomora5942  Clue: You don't need to equal the speed of a missile (especially a very unmanoueverable missile) if you're in front of it. You're saying that an arrow is faster than a guy with a shield, thus it's impossible for the shield to stop an arrow.

  8. Boring, predictable bothsides. Also, the only ones I've ever seen talking about the Ghost of Kiev are Russian botskis.

  9. It's like how sending tanks would have no effect on the war whatsoever, but would still be an escalation for some reason.

  10. It's interesting to note how the Botski Brigade have gone into absolute OVERDRIVE over the failure of the wonder missiles / the Patriot launcher being damaged. Perhaps their handlers are aware of how it defangs Russia's nuclear threats if the hypersonic missiles are shown to be reliably beatable.

  11. Yes, hence why you get the rhetoric about Russia never losing / never having attacked anyone. Like how WW2 only started after Hitler invaded the USSR.

  12.  @CMY187  Russia's situation also shows the dangers of aimless, "they're all as bad as each other" political cynicism, and a popular attitude of "I don't get involved in politics". Refusing to support a lesser evil increases the risk of a greater evil.

  14. Thing is, even if it's "just" 100K, that's still downright catastrophic compared to every war Russia's been in after WW2. And against any overreporting, that also needs to be adjusted for Russian underreporting.

  15. Hypersonic missiles are old technology. They simply represent a path the US decided not to pursue, they're not a super new sci-fi weapon.

  16. Human, or Russian? A system like that doesn't evolve naturally, it takes an active culture of oppression and systemised bigotry.

  17. Money, and targeted propaganda. The far left get told Russia is heroically standing against American neocon imperialism, while the far right get told how Russia's super-cool strongman leader is purifying Europe of all that decadent tolerance.

  18. I love how you took a bloated figure that could only be reached by lumping in Ukranian civilian casualties, and then randomly doubled it.

  19. Low-effort, botski, low-effort.

  20. I think like a lot of nationalists, Putin loves a romanticised notion of his country if it were Made Great Again, but dislikes just about every part of what it actually is.

  21. "Article Five".

  22. Show your evidence for that (not including worthless Russian referendums with an armed thug at every polling station), because the polls conducted under a democratic government reject your alternative facts.

  23. Also, "ethnic Russian" means jack and all, and the pushing of the narrative that ethnicity or language corresponds to political support for Russia is a well-known Kremlin tactic used to justify invasion. It's just as meaningless as Britain deciding to invade Australia to "free the ethnic British".
