thanks for the pdf and discussion of airborne troops in the modern day, that's super interesting poo poo

People think the Russians are crazy for airdropping armored vehicles with the crew inside them but the US airborne doctrine is real sicko poo poo, push out the good anti-tank weapons (javelins) in door bundles (better hope they land close to where you need them) and have no armored combat vehicles at all; the heaviest AT weapons you'd have until heavies start landing are AT-4s, but only like one or two per squad. US paratroopers are uniquely squishly and are extremely reliant on the air force.... which rolls back to the previous discussion in the "US will lose WW3" thread about how the US Army has nowhere near the mobile ground-based AA capacity Russia does. Basically if you can offer a remote resistance against the USAF or Naval aviation let alone actually fight them on equal footing a lot of US doctrine falls apart.

there were a couple of reports of ukrainian APCs attacking donetsk both before the independence recognition and the start of the invasion but the time gaps between the attacks and russian responses seems too small for them to actually be used as casus belli

There isn't one because the western strategy, forced by capitalism, is literally impossible and would require a quantum leap in battery technology that will probably never happen.

But nuclear is expensive and intensive enough that it basically requires government intervention which the west is intentionally incapable of.

more or less the latter, general 'well if you're not going to acknowledge agreements and sanction us for protecting our territories we'll just take all we can' with the Putin 'what even IS a country' history weirdness to create some fake academic element to it.

no that's the point. Putin said some kinda vague threatening 'we can make things worse if you want to' thing, a lot of blob freaks are saying that meant he meant nukes, so now NATO's gotta go "UH WE ALSO WILL DO NUKES TO YOU SIR!!!!" like it's loving MAD all over again.

Also I should point out that the battery technology necessary to do this literally does not exist and probably never will. Nuclear is not just a solution to climate change, it is the only one. No extant technology can replace it.

In great empires the people who live in the capital, and in the provinces remote from the scene of action, feel, many of them scarce any inconveniency from the war; but enjoy, at their ease, the amusement of reading in the newspapers the exploits of their own fleets and armies. To them this amusement compensates the small difference between the taxes which they pay on account of the war, and those which they had been accustomed to pay in time of peace. They are commonly dissatisfied with the return of peace, which puts an end to their amusement, and to a thousand visionary hopes of conquest and national glory, from a longer continuance of the war.

MOSCOW, February 24 - RIA Novosti. The ISS is waiting for an uncontrolled deorbit to Europe or the United States if the sanctions affect cooperation with Russia, Dmitry Rogozin, director general of Roscosmos , said on Thursday.
Earlier, US President Joe Biden said that new anti-Russian sanctions would hit the Russian aerospace industry, including the space program, in particular, to create ships if possible. According to him, US and allied sanctions will limit Russia 's imports of high-tech products by 50%, which will have a significant negative impact on "the possibility of modernizing the Russian military industry.


"If you block cooperation with us, who will save the ISS from an uncontrolled deorbit and fall into the United States or Europe? There is also the option of a 500-ton structure falling on India and China. Do you want to threaten them with such a prospect? The ISS does not fly over Russia, therefore all the risks are yours. Are you ready for them?", he wrote in his Telegram channel.

Rogozin explained that the correction of the station's orbit, as well as its avoidance of dangerous encounters with space debris, is carried out exclusively by the engines of the Russian Progress MS cargo spacecraft.
