Русский корабль - иди нахуй

[Gatorubet 30238]

I believe the USSR's economy was stronger pretty much at all times than Russia's has been since it fell.  Plus the nature of that system inherently put more resources into "defense." 
I think we were always rightly suspect of how good really were Soviet forces and weapons and I think that goes double or triple today because their economy is weaker and the kleptocracy form of government is less inherently able to support defense.
So, to the extent we're being shown that Russian forces are overrated, that's probably to be expected.  Unfortunately, I don't think we can take that completely for granted.

How to you replace the shit wrecked by the Ukrainians when your less-than-California-GDP economy is wrecked by sanctions?

You can’t.

Which leads to, after being pantsed by Ukraine and the world seeing that your Russian Military Giant Cock is really a micro-penis, how do you continue to make the West fear you?

You show you will eradicate civilians - and “look - I have nukes to go with my crazy no morals policies if you have a problem with that!”

I think they feel they have to go all Medieval to walk away with any kind of legit Western belief they can’t be fucked with. If you lose the fight people laugh at you. If you lose the fight and you slaughter your opponent’s family after, nobody will fuck with you even though you lost.

Dunno. Trying to think about the “why” here.

The UN should come in at set up refugee camps for Russian POWs.

Isis was awful because they had very polarized, philosophical beliefs. They believed in their souls what they were doing was right even though it was misguided. 

This is just being a bitchmade pussy. It will be remembered for all time.

I feel like that’s a complete miss on your part. If you don’t see anything ideological about this invasion you’re not looking very hard.

Might that have been a Ukrainian offensive hit on the thermabolic launcher?

That’s not how thermobaric, or fuel air bombs, work. Imagine being able to drop a BLEVE type explosion anywhere you want with a munition. 
 

A hit on the actual munition by a drone or something doesn’t allow for there to be a gas cloud with delayed ignition.

Got to hand it to Nicole. She has survived two preemptive tactical nuke strikes. Her response was kept conventional and defensive only and she continues to fight. How does she survive this? If she were to fall does she resort to carpet bombing the thread with nudes as a last resort?

More like Dr. Strangeclimax, amirite?

Oh, I agree with that point. The difference is this is just the will of a lunatic leader commanding people who have no real stake in the war and who by most accounts don’t fucking even want to be there at all. It’s a vanity production for a narcissistic megalomaniac.
Those Russian soldiers are destroying religious temples sure, but the difference here is that some of the destroyers actually subscribe to the beliefs they represent. That’s a big yikes if I’m Putin.

if you killed a leader of Isis, another one would step up to fight the holy war. If Putin died of a heart attack today at 1:00pm this war would most likely be over at 1:10pm.

Question for folks that may know: I was reading up on descriptions of the thermobaric weapons, and I understood them to be similar to BLEVE explosions. Is that an accurate association?

[FartingMonk 3606]

I think with regards to oil we are overlooking the big picture and how Russia selling oil at a discount doesn't hurt Russias bottom line as hard as we think it does. We have to remember Russia has been selling oil at Pandemic prices for 2 years at 40 bucks.  Even if they take that haircut at 80.  They are still double at what they were selling at.  Someone will buy it and not give a fuck.

If there is this kind of dissent in the ranks of the FSB (the modern day KGB) then shit is about to get real.

There was clearly dissension before the war. Putin publicly confronted and castrated his spy chief in front of the cameras. He then released it to the public.

He doesn't do that unless he is trying to suppress dissension.
