Napoleon 1/10. Woeful. One of the worse movies I have ever watched.

I could never warm to WW. Zelda is one of my favourite series but I found WW such a let down. Far too easy, no memorable dungeons and sailing...

Hitting targets inside Russia has never been on the table. Ukraine will have to, and are, creating their own weapons to do that.

Taurus/Atacmus will make next to near no difference. What can it do that stormshadow cannot? Take down a symbolic bridge linking Crimea to Russia? It has no value without being able to cut the land which Ukraine has no hope of doing. The stupidity of the EU countries knows no limits. We will...

Russian corruption is more than balanced out by western incompetence. Ukraine's moral must be in the toilet at this stage.

It won't work in football. Even if the refs utilised it well. We have a sin bin in Irish Gaelic football and it doesn't work. It works well in rugby as the clock is stopped when play is stopped. Once someone gets a blue card we will just see people rolling around on the ground using up the time.

NATO is effectively done. The US clearly cannot be trusted on anything. Not much point having an alliance with a country that could turn on you everytime an election occurs. Europe needs to protect itself, but even within Europe there are too many divisions for that to happen effectively.

Unfortunately right after Germany announced that they were increasing military aid next year a German court ruled that the governments budget was illegal as it broke spending rules. So savings will have to be made and some of that might be the aid to Ukraine.

The Senate and House control the purse strings. The president doesn't. A split Congress can lead to the deadlock we are seeing now.

The damage is already done. It shows Russia how weak western resolve is and that Russia's 'wait them out' tactic will likely work. Poland surely knows this. Is that a sign that they don't believe Ukraine can make any progress with their offense? US support is basically just phoned in at this...

You think that questioning posters that have said they enjoy watching these clips, or find them funny, is taking a fake moral high ground?

Last I heard it was 109 Bradley's and about 65 Leopard 2 tanks delivered. We don't really have enough info to know if the losses were worth what what gained but they cannot sustain those loses, the IFV losses anyway, for very long. Hopefully the US announce more in the coming weeks.

3 or the top 4 selling Switch games are Wii U games. The Wii U had better first party originals than the Switch. The Switch was a success because it is a handle with a option to dock it. Nintendo handhelds have always sold well and the Switch is no exception.

So simplistic. Hardly a surprise from a Trump fan. The leverage worked both ways - Germany hoped to control Russia by making it dependant on it's market just as Russia hoped to have some influence over Germany. It turned out neither had as much control as they hoped for. So 'Russia totally...

It will also make US fossil fuel industry and US weapon manufactures a fortune. It has also made the EU far less competitive which will make the US much more attractive at least in the short term to medium term. The war is great news for the US, terrible for the rest of the world.

Deleted. Old news.

You said he just had worthless scrap metal. He has already sold some of the vehicles to be put back into service.

Did you read the article? He admits the tanks probably need 1m euros each in repairs/upgrades. He has already sold 46 m113 to the UK with the purpose of sending to the Ukraine. I think the Gepards have been looked at but it was deemed they would require too much work to make them viable. The...

GLSDB could be in the next package. https://www.aljazeera.com/amp/news/2023/2/1/us-readying-new-2-billion-ukraine-weapons-package-report

Supplying more of the basics should be a first priority, not small numbers of fancy toys. 11 months in and the ramp up of shells/mortar seems to be non existent. A few days ago the head of Rheinmetall said they are capable of increasing the production of 155mm shells from 70k to 500k - why...
