It’s what the US always does. Russia claims to have this or that so the US builds something to defeat it. It’s happening with China now too.

The cognitive dissonance my country subjects me to is fucking cruel and unusual.

Israel, via AIPAC, can and has ended political careers. Ukraine doesn’t have anywhere close to that kind of influence.

You have the year wrong on the last one, it was 1991 and that action by Bush was significant. It was the turning point for Israeli lobbying in the United States. After 1991 AIPAC got serious about splashing money around to influence US politics.

If you want to know how far that went read this transcript of a phone call that happened on Oct. 22, 1992 between President David Steiner of the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) recorded without his knowledge by New York businessman Haim (Harry) Katz.

It’s absolutely shocking.

They are only asking to target places that are being used to actively attack them though.

Are they? Because I see Ukraine using drones against infrastructure and sending them against the City of Moscow itself. That isn’t wrong of them however it does lead to legitimate questions about where exactly they would strike with other weapons.

They’re not going to recover from this dip in the population for a very long time.

They are never going to recover. Russia is going to continue cycling downwards until the country comes apart. In 20-30 years everything to the East of Perm will be lost. What Russia went through in the '90s is going to be the “Good Old Days” by 2050.

Because too many mods are power tripping assholes and I say that as someone whose been a mod in various corners of the Internet since at least 2000.

The best mods, and admins, are nearly invisible and as close to drama free as possible.

I somehow stumbled onto that video a couple days ago and watched it in amazement.

but to what end.

The AFU has created a situation that Russia cannot ignore or back away from. They simply have to send the men and equipment to try and force the AFU out. If they don’t the AFU can, and likely will, continue to gobble up Russian territory and that will eventually impact Russian logistics enough that they won’t be able to continue to fight in Ukraine.

Russia has already tried responding with dribs and drabs and the AFU simply chews them up; that means in order to successfully counter and push the AFU out Russia is going to have to show up with mass. Many thousands of men and lots of materials all at once, which will make a big juicy target as they try to enter the battlespace.

If Ukraine can get the necessary equipment into the theater, and so far it looks like they can / are, they will absolutely CLOBBER the massed forces that Russia has no choice but send. When I say “clobber” I’m talking about the destruction that Rocket Artillery, Howitzers, and Jet Fighters could have delivered early in the invasion when Russia was sending miles long convoys straight down highways.

Think “Highway of Death” between Kuwait and Iraq from 1990.

Dunno if that will happen but the way Ukraine is setting this up it’s within the realm of possibility.

Here you go: https://picarta.ai/

I hope that Iran doesn’t listen. It’s long past time that this grudge match is settled.

Why do you think the EW-System can only pretend to be a single bird? They’ve got a dozen VMs running on each plane!

Could be Hypersonic bald eagles if they put the impersonation system on those new MAKO missiles!

Still can’t see in the dark. That’s why we need backpack patriot batteries.

Shotguns are ineffective against drones more than 100ish yards away. ISR drones commonly work well beyond this distance. Shotguns are also ineffective against FPV drones because their high speed demands marksmanship and fast reflexes in order to hit them. Shotguns don’t work against any of them in the dark because you can’t see them.

So the take-a-way here is that we need to shrink Patriot Batteries down to fit in a backpack and make 100,000 units so we an assign them at the platoon level.

Like, bruh, I’m a dude, but I’d rather see a bear than another man if I was on a solo backpacking trip.

I think you may have a skewed perception of the risks, at least where I live. As someone who is out in the wilds of the Rocky Mountains on a frequent basis I’d much rather wander into another man than a bear. Here in Wyoming Brown Bears, aka Grizzlies, are now mauling or killing multiple people per year during wilderness encounters however I haven’t heard of a single random wilderness encounter where a man attacked or killed someone in at least a decade.

If you are hiking somewhere that only has Black Bears than yeah you are statistically safer with the Bear. If you hike here though you are statistically safer with the man.
