    Ukraine Invasion - Please do not post videos showing attacks/similar

    I wonder if it was GLSDB. I hope so and I hope Ukraine will be getting thousands of them soon.

    Ukraine Invasion - Please do not post videos showing attacks/similar

    Well if they had to get completely out of Ukraine, I'd say them losing Crimea and the parts of eastern Ukraine they previously occupied would be a lot more than a slap on the wrist. It's a moot point though as I don't think they'd take that deal anyway. I also wouldn't want us or any other...

    Ukraine Invasion - Please do not post videos showing attacks/similar

    That's often said but it doesn't make sense to me. By the war being drawn out, it's meant Russia has now had time to go to other evil states to negotiate and as a result, Iran and North Korea will be getting who knows what tech from Russia in return for the ammo Russia needs from them. Iran...

    At least he's made his position abundantly clear now. It was only a few weeks ago people were arguing about how pro Ukraine he is. What I don't like is I'm still using Twitter, although only to read. I only started using it to follow what's happening in Ukraine as the mainstream media...

    He's done some good (with questionable motives) but that does not excuse the harm he has done and most of the good he did was near the start, and then at some point he seems to have switched sides. You might find it comical but I find it bizarre how he has a legion of fans who want to defend...

    Slight correction for you - you are taking what Musk said as fact when it's currently unclear what happened. Something stinks though because even if he had previous disabled Starlink around Crimea like he claimed, why did the Ukrainians not know about it? I find it hard to believe he would...

    The source is Musk himself. He has posted that it wasn't activated in that area and he was asked to turn it on and refused, which somewhat contradicts what CNN reported. Whichever is true, he's a complete ****

    It's a shame Ukraine haven't managed to properly finish the bridge off. Sadly what the Russian's are doing will probably be quite effective at stopping sea drones. They've also protected against truck bombs with security checks and x-rays of vehicles entering the bridge and it sounds like...

    I would add a couple of more reasons to your list. 1) Russia is using them anyway, so the main reason against them is some don't explode, are left on the ground and might get picked up by a civilian years later. Since Russia is using them anyway, that's going to be the case in Ukraine...

    If the US launches some limited strikes against Russian assets in and around Ukraine, that does not automatically escalate into a massive war. Even if you're right that eventually there will be a red line, it sounds like your solution to that is to let Russia win and they can have Ukraine...

    I don't know, they've hit a lot of targets and it seems like they don't tend to fire them one at a time but fire a number of them at the same time at one target. However many we gave them, they must be getting through them. America and Germany also have equivalent weapons so hopefully they'll...

    Turkey being kicked out of the F35 program wasn't retaliation for not buying patriots. It was because the US didn't want Russia finding out secrets about the F35 or being able to test the S400 against it. If Turkey had bought some Russian tanks or something, that would have been fine, but the...

    Well they already officially annexed Zaporizhzhia and Kherson so technically from a Russian perspective, Ukraine already are attacking and taking Russian and there are no nukes being fired. Although I think your point is still valid in that they've illegally held Crimea since 2014, so it's not...

    Hungary should be booted out of both. The problem is the lack of a mechanism to do it. The EU has strict rules on entry that ensure countries joining are free democracies with low corruption but no system for kicking a country out when that's no longer the case. I don't think NATO has any...

    I really don't see that happening. Turkey would also veto it and I suspect a number of European nations also would. At the end of the day, if some NATO members want to become active participants in the war, they don't need to get Ukraine into NATO first. I don't really see that happening either...

    I think it's a combination of things. One large part of it IMO is people like MTG are just pretty stupid so they are unable to see the big picture. They just see the US giving lots of money away and think it's just pure charity, without realising what the US gets back in return or the...

    The reason I'm sure it isn't nonsense is it's very well known that Putin has been isolated. Any meetings with the real Putin are either done at a massive distance with comically long tables, or the person meeting him has to go into isolation for 2 weeks. Someone said as much on Russian TV...

    I think we would have been trying to give them to Ukraine but wouldn't be allowed. We were able to give them Storm Shadows because we built it. Same with the Challenger 2, which then made everyone else feel they could give modern tanks. With ATACMS being American, it would require them to...

    Ditto. I wonder how many storm shadows we gave them though and how many they have left. We only ordered 1000 or less and have used some of those in other conflicts. I don't suppose we gave them our entire remaining supply and they are using multiple missiles per strike it seems.

    I would blame Trump and his MAGA loonies for that. He's always idolised Putin and tried to screw Ukraine over when in office. He and his followers have been talking **** about Ukraine throughout the war. Tucker Carlson's show had millions of viewers until he was fired recently and he regularly...
