  1. It’s basically a big “fuck you” to Putin. Let’s see how much of a tough guy he is when it’s time to risk an actual conflict vs NATO.
  2. No way the kid on the far right in that picture is older than 16.
  3. If we have a semblance of a functioning OL next year we will lead the conference in scoring. But after 15 years of shit OL I’m not ready to make that assumption.
  4. Putin cares about retaining power above all else. Using nukes is almost a guarantee that he loses that power - either because he’s dead through MAD or by the entire world invading to depose him. The standard Russian playbook in this case is to continue ratcheting up the purges and accusations of traitors.
  5. All these weapons designers have to love the fact that their babies are out there getting to perform in the real world. The Neptune is a pretty new system, right? I assume this is the first time it’s been used in an actual conflict.
  6. Russia is not going to recover from this for 50 years, at least. Economic isolation and military futility will define their future. And every bit of it will be well deserved. ETA: Another underrated aspect of this is the complete destruction of their ability to undertake espionage / foreign influence operations. Not only are all their spies being sent back to Moscow, their TV stations and websites are being blocked all throughout the Western world. Even the troll farms are going to be ineffective. If you even vaguely hint at sympathy for Putin or the Russian cause at this point you’re immediately outed.
  7. Lol at “the wounds contain unconsumed blood”. Certainly if the Russian were around they would have consumed all the blood, right?
  8. I find absolutely nothing redeeming about the Russian nation.
  9. At this point I would support deployment of a NATO peacekeeping force up to the current lines of contact minus some arbitrary buffer (10 miles, 20 miles, whatever). Given the absolutely barbaric behavior of the Russian invaders I don’t think we can allow a second push to occur in good conscience. If they’re going to launch nukes it won’t be because of this - they’ll manufacture a reason if that’s what they plan on doing. But this is crimes against humanity level shit.
  10. We owe the Ukrainians a debt of gratitude for this. You just know that Putin and Xi had already planned how they were going to capitalize on the “quick victory”. No more axis of evil.
  11. So it looks like Russia invaded with 200k troops so that they could commit petty theft and then retreat? This Putin guy is a genius.
  12. Other than shelling Mariupol into the ground, is Russia actually gaining ground anywhere in the country right now? I know we are biased to pro-Ukraine news but it really seems like they are being pushed back along every front right now. The best news I have read is that tank production (and presumably, other armored vehicle production) is completely shut down meaning they can’t replace any of these equipment losses.
  13. You know what? I’m gonna expand NATO even harder now.
  14. Russia is terrible and contributes nothing to the modern world. It’s no wonder volunteers are flooding in from across the world to fight them.
  15. This burning ship seems like a really big deal. Massive equipment losses and propaganda value.
  16. Russians are a bunch of shitheads and deserve the decades of international scorn that are going to follow this invasion.
  17. If Belarus invades, I feel like it would be fair game for Poland to step in and wipe them out.
  18. Why is the Russian military full of doughy, pasty, fat dudes? Is PT not a thing there? I guess vodka may be the simplest explanation.
  19. The Russian military is a joke. Their tactics seems to be stuck in 1940 while their logistics are stuck in 1340. Leadership is non-existent.
  20. Between the officers getting killed on the frontline and the ones getting purged at home, the Russian army is going to be led by NCOs pretty soon whether they like it or not.
