    Then you know dick about what the word 'whining' means.

    Anyone who defends a bully makes me puke.
    Like you are now.

    Piss off and try learning what words mean BEFORE you use them.
    That way, you will not look like someone who CLEARLY thinks he is FAR smarter and educated than he really is.


    Bye now.

    Yes.

    You keep saying that then always come back for more. It's one reason why I know you are immature; you act like a woman but I know you aren't one.

    Sadly, that about sums it up.

    However, not ALL Israeli's are Zionists.

    Stone and Hawkeye make themselves a target because they have routinely strutted around the board bragging about how great their judgement and predictions are.

    I don't do that.

    Moon is a Kremlin stooge.

    How does that give Russian permission to invade Ukraine as a whole and commit mass murder of civilians?

    As for the OP title?

    That is largely true.


    Russia has largely destroyed her reputation as a mighty, conventional, military power.


    I have said it before - I think Russia was 100% right to help free the Donbas Oblasts who voted over 80% to leave Ukraine.
    And who Ukraine had been attacking - and killing/murdering thousands of people in - since 2014.

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2014_D...us_referendums
    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/War_in...%E2%80%932022)

    Kiev were NOT the 'good guys' before February 24.



    But since February 24 - Russia have become the 'bad guys'.

    Putin was morally wrong and a COMPLETE MORON to invade Ukraine proper.


    I (and others) said before the war that Russia would have FAR, more problems taking Ukraine then many seemed to think.
    They are NOT the USSR.
    Their military power is far smaller/weaker then it was during the Cold War.

    Putin CLEARLY, blew it.
    The question is now?
    Can Russia expel him, so they can pull themselves out of this mess?

    Given the quantity of flagrant racism, overt misogyny, outright death threats routinely posted on this board, I would say you have bigger fish to fry than complaining about my threads.

    Actually, whacking it is worth whacking 20 or more tanks. ARV are made in very small numbers and are very valuable on the battlefield for recovering damaged and broken-down tanks. They can be a major force multiplier as they keep more tanks operational and in battle.

    It is not that the Ukrainians or the West are so great, it is that Putin did not understand the capacity of the Russian military.....it is way more corrupt than he knew and he got told lies by his subordinates that he did not know were lies.

    This sort of failure is not allowed in the New Chinese Empire.

    Putin has to go.

    Putin leaving almost certainly will not result in their taming vis-a-vis Western demands, Russia is now firmly controlled by China which will not change...and they chinese are out to kick our asses.
