"We don't need to camouflage our CP, just pull up behind some trees and we'll be good to gOH BLYAT" edit: It feels good making this comment after the countless times I've had to deal with camouflage netting going up and down all day every day in the sweltering heat at Ft Polk. For some reason the netting was always infested with wolf spiders and black widows which made every instance an adventure. bees everywhere fucked around with this message at 20:17 on Apr 30, 2022 |

Air bursting munitions in there. Haven’t seen Ukrainian footage with those before. That’s a full battery or more firing also, not just ones and twos like many of the videos. Edit if you assume 10 to 12 seconds per gun that’s way more than a single battery. I count 32 flashes in 22 seconds. So like a whole battalion. Everything in that tree line is fubar.

30 rounds in 22 seconds. Idk the size of the guns but if they're small, fast and will trained like these, you could pull that rate off with like 5-6 gun crews I think. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hAc1CnKqSyo

Radio war nerd 324 on the first Chechen war is really interesting. Russia made alllll the same mistakes, and Yeltsin launched it for the same reasons Putin likely did, as part of some internal power play that had nothing to do with the reality. While the Chechen side’s strategy and forces were different than Ukraines, Russia did like all the same poo poo. In the first days morale troops just gave up or refused to advance when encountering hostile unarmed civilians, then later switched to senseless brutal war crimes once they started taking losses a couple weeks in. Ran unsupported uncoordinated armored assaults with unclear objectives and no infantry support right into heavily fortified cities.ElMaligno posted:My hot take on this thing is that if NATO countries support Ukraine against a belligerent Russia that its killing civilians, we should also support Palestine, Yemen and other countries suffering under similar circumstances. Exactly why this “based nato” poo poo is nauseating to me. Last time I checked Turkey’s “demographic correction” in Syria is a NATO operation.

Last time I checked Turkey’s “demographic correction” in Syria is a NATO operation. Turkey is acting extremely on their own there and that has nothing really at all to do with NATO. They've been hugely, massively at odds with American efforts in and around Syria, to the extent that the US was putting American units physically between Kurdish groups and the Turks to keep turkey from attacking Kurds. Idk if the US's efforts are especially NATO related there either, but probably more of a case could be made there than with Turkey. Turkey has been on the NATO shitlist for what they've been doing in Syria, doubly so with the s400 bullshit. Herstory Begins Now fucked around with this message at 21:14 on Apr 30, 2022 |

My first listen was their most recent episode, which was full of uncomfortable "Why aren't we hearing the Russian side of this?" followed by an uncomfortable fly-over of Russian massacres. There was some insightful rips into neo-con ghouls, but I was soured when they ended with a "Bring back the A-10!" appeal, which I'm amazed those people still exist. I'm going to give their historical stuff a chance since everyone I know insists that's their strength, but it wasn't a good first impression.

I’d argue that this conflict as well as the one with Georgia inherently involves NATO in a way that the conflict in Yemen doesn’t. And the Isreal-Palestine issue is just completely different. I still agree that we need to stop the Saudis from doing what they are doing, but I see that as more of a U.S. responsibility. WRT the Palestine question, I don’t think a two state solution will bring peace. Israel is a first world country with the best of everything available to it’s citizens. I don’t know if you’ve been to a Palestinian town but you can tell from. The highway whether a town is inhabited by Israelis or Palestinians just by how the builds look, because Palestinians live in a third world reality due to decades of deprivation. Making Palestinians full citizens with full rights and treating Palestinian towns and villages the same as Israeli towns and villages in terms of funding, and upgrading the physical capital of Palestinian areas will do a lot more for long term peace than a separate Palestinian state. The should also probably be some kind of power sharing built into the constitution such as they one they have in Lebanon.

I know they’ve been going for years and I’ve only listened to maybe a dozen eps after it was recommended here and really liked the US civil war eps and learned a lot, but I don’t know a ton about their histories although their opinions seem non-problematic from my limited sample set. It was odd in their ep right before the Russian invasion when they were dismissive of the absurd idea Russia would invade and I know they weren’t alone in that prediction but it helped me to classify them as an above average source of info but not all knowing. They had an interesting interview with an author about sci fi literature and right wing influence and that was informative especially about trouble at the Hugos, but some parts seemed under researched. Yes some sci fi authors express a fondness for fascism. No, while he has written many books about alt history Harry Turtledove does not want to live in a world where Germany or the CSA won.

One thing RWN talked about in Grozny is that Russian units did not have interoperable comms, maps or orders beyond “follow that guy” even at our above the company or battalion level. This meant Russian officers had to personally run around Grozny in enemy territory between ambushed columns to find out what was going on or what they should do, which unsurprisingly killed a lot of them. Wonder if that’s a big reason so many Russian general officers have been getting got.Jarmak posted:Notice the very first round that hits bullseyes the big tent in the middle of the treeline. Wonder if they opened the barrage with an Excalibur round or some fancy laser-guided poo poo (did that ever get deployed?). It’s probably a weird situation where despite not having air superiority Ukraine probably has like near perfect ISR with drones and foreign intelligence so they don’t have to guess while I can’t imagine Russia given their track record is actually giving anything actionable fast enough to their artillery or bombers.
