  1. Ha, right up there with them claiming they "destroyed" more HIMARS launchers than the number sent to Ukraine to begin with lol.

  2. Between 4-6 HIMARS GMLS munitions hitting a building that also has ammo stored inside can absolutely do that. JDAMs are being provided to Ukraine, but I don't believe they are in theater yet. They still have to be fitted/adapted to the launch rails of the MiG-29 and Su-27 (maybe Su-24 and Su-25 too).

  3. I believe these guys were regular mobiks, not Wagnerites. The Wagner orcs are mostly bunched up in Bakhmut.

  4. Likely in the middle. The 600+ figure came due to Russia's history of minimizing death counts by about 10x. But realistically, this building probably contained 100-200 Orcs.

  5.  @schokobar4133  Annex Kaliningrad? Uhhh, okay. Huh?

  6.  @schokobar4133  They haven't even admitted how many people died on the Moskva yet.

  7.  @schokobar4133  Awesome. FWIW, how, exactly, would Russia stop a potential western annexation of Kaliningrad? The Baltic Sea is now a NATO lake (thanks to the SMO), Russia's bomber fleet would be destroyed by F-22s and Eurofighters in theater, the Flanker pilot complement simply cannot tangle with western adversaries, the S-400 has proven to be a paper tiger, and Russia has next to no logistical means of transporting materiel to Kaliningrad. The only risk to NATO would likely be to AWACS and tankers, with the MiG-31 armed with the R-37M missile. Russia could go nuclear, but at that point, Russia ceases to exist anyway. Frankly, one wonders how effective Russia's nuclear deterrent even is at this point, given the poor performance of seemingly EVERY other piece of military kit.

  8.  @schokobar4133  Because, frankly, we don't really care. It seems Russians are obsessed with Americans, thinking we're going to "invade" you or attack you. Before Feb. 24, 2022, it was rare for Russia to even be discussed in the USA. Nobody here goes to bed at night thinking Russia is a threat to us. Nobody here wakes up in the morning angry at Russia and wanting to invade it. It's just not particularly important. What would we want to do with invading and occupying a country that is financially decrepit, ideologically backward, barely developed since the 1980s, with a population brainwashed by propaganda? You can have Russia for the rest of eternity – we just don't want you invading your neighbors.

  9.  @schokobar4133  You commit war crimes as a matter of policy. Send criminals out of jail to terrorize Ukraine. Launch missiles and drones into civilian areas. That's Orc-like behavior. Russia was always respected in America, even as an adversary. That is no longer the case. The animalistic and disgusting behavior of your people in Ukraine has turned an entire generation of westerners into haters of Russia. Obviously nobody actually wants to annex Kaliningrad, but it's fun to think about, since Russia really couldn't do much about it if we tried. But we won't – because we're not backwards-thinking barbarians looking to subjugate others.

  10. Sounds good to me! Whatever countries or alliances wish to repel the aggressor state will be remembered fondly in history.

  11.  @asdilia693  Well, sure it was. The deal was that Russia goes home. They will not, so the war continues.

  12. The Ukranians know that when they intercept an outgoing call to a Russian number, some Orc is gonna spill the beans on his location. This is what happens when you have a military made up of untrained, unprofessional slobs who probably spend half their days soaked in vodka.
