Crippled Russia running out of weapons as embarrassing war ending looms

[Primavera]

The broad is almost my age and has more balls than all the men put together with the possible exception of Bernie.

I'd take her in a minute. I can even overlook her Oklahoma accent because she's that good.
Given her background, it's a miracle, so I guess that there's hope for everybody--if they've got the 170 IQ,

Bernie Bullshit would have been even worse than Biden.

But not worse than Trump

Its time for the Russians to decide who comes after Putin.

[Hawkeye10]

Chinese propaganda is now very clear on the message that Putin fucked up not knowing his military situation. That extreme incompetence demands accountability in the Empire.

There is some serious wonder if maybe the era of the tank is over.

[Hawkeye10]

The next war might be all about missiles and cyber war.

Dont count on those aircraft carriers being useful.

I think so. Javelin are "fire and forget" unlike a regular TOW missile that has to be guided in on wire
Drones as well.

Next are aircraft carriers,and that would be a monster loss for the USA
But carriers have a fleet around then and can fight back (AEGIS etc)

hypersonics are the game change there though

This is one place where we must I think cut Putin some slack, we are all learning in real time by what happened in UKraine, it was not completely at least forseeable.

Its worth remembering that VDH said at the jump that the side that cant prevent the other from getting continuous reinforcements almost always loses.

it was forseable if you saw what happened in Syria and he should have

Putin made the mistake of fighting the war on China's timetable (ground thawing), taking too much at one bite
If he had simply taken Donbas he'd be about where he is now - or at least much better able to strike the Black Sea
And NATO wouldn't be pounding him..he should have seen the USA has no compunctions about going all in on the non-NATO state when Biden laughed off the Lavrov "red line" letters

You have changed topics....lets finish the one we were on first:

Was it forseeable that the age of the tank is now over?

Did we know that before Ukraine?

If you're a stereotypical timid American, you are going to be afraid of anybody with an actual plan.
You believe in moderate solutions for radical problems, which, of course, is psychotic.

[Earl]

The Russians are world pariahs now with their war crimes in Ukraine.

Their military appears to be inept and morale low.

The tipping point indeed. Not good news for the Russian Federation.
