    It's funny that you believe a guerilla force can fight a superpower to a standstill. Isn't the excuse the Democrats use for banning guns is that guerrillas are no match for tanks, bombers and regular military forces? Which is it? LOL

    The history of the war speaks for it self. LOL. Anyway, the argument for banning military style guns for ordinary civilian use has nothing to do with guerillas vs. tanks. LOL.

    Jesus fucking Christ you're a moron, Ms. Moon. No wonder Arabs always lose wars in the end.
    Are you still lurking about, you filth-impregnated dumbass ? Geez, you're a shameless, racist prick. And a masochist.

    Agreed.

    Tanks are best on open ground, but more vulnerable to homemade weapons in urban areas.

    Vietnam was about stopping the communist takeover of a country. The invasion of Ukraine is about one man wanting to steal a nation's sovereignty.

    Like Martin, you're not getting the point, Lurch, but that's okay since you weren't even born yet at the time.

    You tend to spout the standard Liberal dogma without realizing that it's Democrats who got us into WW1, WWII, Korea and Vietnam. LOL

    Is there really any doubt that the Russian Army is poorly led, poorly trained and given poor equipment because Putin's Oligarchs are robbing the country blind?

    Is there any doubt that the Russian Army is getting its ass kicked daily?

    The US was in Vietnam for about a decade and lost over 56K men. The Russians have been in Ukraine for less than a year and have already lost over 20K men. Why else is Putin threatening nukes if he wasn't desperate about getting his ass kicked?

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Casual...tal_casualties
    Russian and allied forces
    70,000–80,000 killed and wounded
    (20,000 killed)
    Nope, there is no doubt Putin's getting his ass kicked. Notice I didn't say, "Russia" because the people of Russia are not behind this war. Like the OP says, Russian men and women are fleeing the country - they don't want any part of Putin's criminal invasion.

    I don't recall spewing any "liberal dogma". All I said is we lost. And I was alive during the whole thing, Boomer.

    We did lose.
