SchrodingersCat posted:If the United States and Russia were direct neighbors, yes. Yeah people looking at the US defense spending numbers forget this. The US can steamroll Canada but the US fighting a war thousands of miles from its borders is always going to be tough. Like the US is never saying it can take whomever in a straight fight. It's saying it can take them while it bounces on one leg and sings the national anthem backwards. I think any country that isn't a total crater like Iraq was before they even showed up is gonna be a way different story.

the krokodil orc poster has a whole article about the war crimes of Soviet partisans during the Continuation War http://blog.vantagepointnorth.net/2019/12/forgotten-war-crimes-soviet-partisans.html quote:The Finnish counter partisan activity was conducted mainly via tracking the murderers with small Finnish “Sissi” units. Soviet partisans suffered heavy casualties when ever they encountered actual Finnish combat units. Undoubtedly the most notable commander of the units chasing the partisans was Lauri Törni, who later, under the name Larry Thorne, fought as a US Army Green Beret in Vietnam. guess what unit Torni was in

that's about 90 km as the crow flies, or 130 km roughly following the roads, from the Belarus/Ukraine border near Chernobyl in about... 30 hours?

Fall and destroy the enemy." From the replies it sounds like there's an expected clash there? Not clear, shockingly.

ASB News is total nonsense. How much of that footage is peace time stuff? The casualness is still weird to me. Like if there's active fighting and tanks are getting blown up and these tanks are taking up positions in the city you'd just drive around them? "loving tanks I gotta get to work!"

Either it's ground troops fighting over the same airbase earlier or the VDV have resurrected themselves somehow. Either way there are some Russians about 8km out from the capital. https://twitter.com/Osinttechnical/status/1497099622384349184 https://twitter.com/Caucasuswar/status/1497101470889656328

The US can steamroll Canada but the US fighting a war thousands of miles from its borders is always going to be tough. No war against even 2nd rate powers is going to be a cakewalk for anyone. Now that everyone has cruise missiles blowing up the other guys stuff is super easy. We’d crater them more than they’d crater us but it would hardly be a victory for anyone.

people posting about the casualness of it all: its been a bit over 24hrs, most people don't understand that they now live in a warzone. it is a surreal experience. moreover there have been studies done on how slavs respond to high danger situations with indifference, so its a combination of all these things

So right now the areas to watch are Kherson and Kiev, those are the two current big areas of russian assault. Whatever chances the Ukranians had at stopping an assault on Kiev is now meaningless now the the Antonov VDV have linked with russian ground forces

Daniel Dales Dick posted:That jackoff thinks they're an op. A lot of stuff they posted about troop movements the night of the invasion was wrong. US cable news was repeating the stuff about Odesa and Mariupol ASB got wrong too. ASB is sympathetic to Russia and I wouldn't be surprised if there's some straight up Russia disinfo mixed in. People are also posting Michael Weiss, who's a psycho that repeats what he is told by the CIA. I figure it all sort of balances out.

The US can steamroll Canada but the US fighting a war thousands of miles from its borders is always going to be tough. The entire reason the US spends so much on defense is because of the obscene distances that they actually want to be able to project force. Russia, China, and other actors don't care so much about military matters on a global scale so they can focus on a much leaner military built for local and regional engagements where they can take terrain and set up forward bases to reconsolidate and then move towards their next objectives.
