Why can’t we just freaking have Star Trek economy already.

No the war can end when Ukraine pushes Russia out of all their stolen land including Crimea.

I totally misread what you said. My bad man! I’m fighting pink eye right now so screens are hard. =-S

Yeah turns out people being oppressed fight back, funny how that works huh?

So you want oligarchs to be in charge? Lmao that’s certainly a take.

I think this next century is going to be that of the middle powers.

Countries that are agile, looking to innovate and solve problems, and work towards equitable futures for everyone.

America is all in on oligarchy and the nouveau riche, and nothing else. There is zero investment in the common good and zero care for the nation as a whole.

Why in your world does Putin deserve to save face? Why should he keep any land he took?

Of course not. Israel started a war and now wants America to fight it.

So much for being a fucking ally. What a pathetic country.

This could literally be mentioned in the historical annals of idiotic military blunders in history.

Hey Republicans lurking on here, way to fucking go guys. You’re so fucking stupid that you collapsed our reputation in the world and now we’re a fucking laughing stock and because of your seemingly infinite level of abject idiocy, we now are legitimately in a national security crisis because of this wanton waste of our national defense assets.

Great fucking job, morons. Take a fucking bow.

Seriously fuck Israel. Between this Epstein shit, the USS Liberty, the numerous times that fucking pariah of a country has drug the US around by the fucking cock to do it’s bidding.

It’s beyond pathetic. We need to cut this country off.

Ukraine could run out of troops. But Russia could suffer another military coup. They almost did with Wagner. Russia is also running very low on S400 launchers. Ukraine could break down Russia’s AAA over the battlefield, and when that does happen, they can systematically route that area of operations.

That is certainly a take on the situation.

Sure, but there’s a few differences between now and WW2.

Russia doesn’t have a lend-lease partner so lost material is very hard to replace, whereas Ukraine has multiple defense markets to purchase material from.

Russias only advantage is their manpower. The issue is they have had degraded capacity to adequately replenish their war materials. Eventually this will hit a critical mass that will swing the war in Ukraines favor.

Totally

The ‘Middle Powers’ need to all unite. The US is no longer a trusted ally on the world stage, and without a reliable foil to China, they can bully their way into whatever they want to. If these countries all stand against the Chinese they have a shot.

There is no good way to do this. They’ll take extensive casualties ingressing into the country and soon as they’re on the ground they’ll be swarmed with Shaheeds. The US is not prepared for drone warfare. It’s really as simple as that.

Oh totally I’m not disagreeing there. The Israel is on the back foot here and expecting the US to bail them out. But like, there’s no avenue to do that when they expended all their defensive missiles.

Sure. But for me the strikes aren’t about soldiers lost it’s about how much interceptor ammunition Israel has used and how much do they have left.

Iran is sending missiles and drones that are relatively inexpensive, and Israeli defensive munitions are finite. Shaheeds are in much more plentiful supply than defense munitions.

It doesnt seem like they’re degrading Iran though. At least from the media I’m seeing. They seem to be hitting civilian population centers in Iran and Lebanon.

Without a doubt. I just have to spell things out sometimes for my own psychological health.
