Pener Kropoopkin posted:Americans can only make large scale battles in Civil War movies. Yes, Americans only made expensive superhero mo...oh that Civil War. The last properly expensive larger scaled war movie made by Hollywood IMO is Kingdom of Heaven. But I am not sure if I should group it in the "historical fantasy" genre.

genericnick posted:He's not a secularist, I don't think, but he had a falling out with the AKP. Gulen is indeed not a secular politician. He was an ally to Erdogan's agenda to stomp out the secularists of the CHP. He's got a network of Gulen schools that the AKP sees as a direct competition to its religious influence program through Diyanet

https://www.bellingcat.com/news/uk-and-europe/2021/11/17/inside-wagnergate-ukraines-brazen-sting-operation-to-snare-russian-mercenaries/quote:The operation had begun as early as 2018 as a run-of-the-mill intelligence-gathering campaign by GUR MOU. By late 2019, following the success of Ukrainian rendition operations such as the retrieval of former separatist military commander Vladimir Tsemakh, the project had taken a more ambitious turn. By early 2020 it had morphed into an opportunistic sting operation targeting hundreds of former mercenaries idling away during the Covid-19 lockdown in their home towns and villages across Russia. At this point, a number of outcomes were still under consideration. These included terminating the operation after sufficient intelligence had been gathered or luring the targets to a third country — such as Hungary, Poland, or the Baltic nations — and requesting their extradition to Ukraine. Is the scandal that it failed or that Ukraine was planning to use false accusations to bring down an international flight full of its political enemies. Since this is Bellingcat, it's a limited hangout so what exactly are they leaving out. Makes me wonder if the arrests in Minsk were the whole point, that helped drive the wedge deeper between Lukashenko and Russia, which played into the post-election protests. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-53592854

Yeah Long Day's Journey into Night was really good.Red and Black posted:I don’t know. I doubt it, but I can’t really evaluate that claim without knowing what the evidence is for it I also don't know if there's any evidence for intentionally losing war games to boost the military budget but there is evidence of pressure to fudge war games to make the US military look better than it is (see the infamous Millennium Challenge 2002 where the 'enemy' side sunk 16 US ships including an aircraft carrier with swarms of speedboats and the response was to say it was unrealistic and restart the exercise) so this probably cancels each other out at least.

Atrocious Joe posted:https://twitter.com/NikaMelkozerova/status/1465002114690830338?s=20 Zelenskyi is his own kind of inept and vindictive, but Butusov is also definitely too lost in the sauce and high on his own farts. Censor.net has been an awful pro-Poroshenko hate-filled propaganda rag for years. If Zelenskyi's petty grudge is what brings it down, it's not going to be a huge loss for independent media, but I'd still much rather the law wasn't applied selectively only against the people who criticise Zelenskyi. Atrocious Joe posted:https://www.bellingcat.com/news/uk-and-europe/2021/11/17/inside-wagnergate-ukraines-brazen-sting-operation-to-snare-russian-mercenaries/ It's both.

ModernMajorGeneral posted:Yeah Long Day's Journey into Night was really good. oh my god this never goes away please stop using this as an example. the general in charge of the non-us forces did such things as 1) say that his forces were using motorcycle couriers to avoid message interception and then model them as arriving instantly 2) model those speedboats as each being able to hold multiple anti ship missiles and fire them off with no recoil, and a whole bunch of other incredibly dumb poo poo that rightfully got the game called and redone becuase those are stupid assumptions and not what the war game was about. this is not one of the many, many examples of the US millitary being stupid, this is a stupid nerd wargaming fight that the losing nerd got so butthurt about he leaked it to the press to make himself look better by repeating this bullshit, you are basically a bystander at a warhammer tournament going "wow that guy screaming at the ref has a point, space marines are overpowered and would totally lose against nids" please stop for a second and think about how "THE US LOST ITS LAST 16 GAMES IN TAIWAN TO CHINA" and "REMEMBER THIS ONE TIME THEY CHANGED THE RULES SO THEY WOULDN'T LOSE" compare as statements
