I have a pacifist friend who is constantly tying himself in knots trying to both-sides this and I feel a vague disgust at them. I just can't understand the rationale: I'm all for not shooting people and working for peace & understanding, but when it's the loving Russian army at your door coming to shut down your independence and to take away any and all who dare to resist, any and all alternatives to going at them with everything you got are not really alternatives. Celebrating the Ukrainian's resolve and heroism in the face of an existential threat is the natural and commendable human reaction.

If you think Putin believing this war would be easy - is crazy. People get high on their own supply. Nazis believed the United States wouldnt be able to mobilize troops to Europe until the 70s. The Japanese believed their brown eyes gave them a nighttime navy advantage over their enemies blue eyes.

Well really many of them were recruited by Western governments and the Soviets for their scientific knowledge. And de-nazification in Western Germany is generally considered a failure. But yeah, they shot some in the head.

WaltherFeng posted:Pretty sure that answers the "does molotov work on russian armor" debate. these are molotovs combined with barricades. molotovs themselves are not very effective weapons, they are more like desperation weapons. not as good as a gun, but better than a rock or something. however, there are very few vehicles which appreciate being in flames, so that is one of the points in favor of a molotov - a better-than-nothing way to light some bullshit on fire. all combustion-driven vehicles have to breathe air to move, and they have a much harder time breathing fire than air. plus also, air ventilation for the crew, various poo poo tacked on to the outside of the vehicle which is now on fire, and so on. props to the ukrainian militia for technique, you don't just want one molotov, you want a dozen or more of them, just constantly coming down like a gently caress you curtain on the thing you're trying to kill the biggest question i have here is, why are russian military vehicles trying to ram barricades??? like, the better thing to do would be to hang back and shoot enough bullets and shells at the barricades to (1) scare off anyone nearby from trying to gently caress with you (2) clear out the barricade enough so that you don't have to slam your vehicles into it. what in the gently caress is the plan here?

It's necessary, but it's to important to remember that it is another person you are killing. Sometimes it is important and neccesary to do so. Something can need doing and still be not good. acidx posted:Cool man, think we've hashed out your position on the matter I'm just trying to respond to people. I am sorry if this is derailing things.
