Comrade Koba posted:loving lmao that they brought out two loving Blackhawks for this and had teams of ~elite operators~ rappel down into a garden to arrest two middle-aged homeowners. what did they do, serve up a meal for their guests? Special Forces units are always trying to justify their existence, expense and elite (or “elite”) status. RCMP ERT was asleep at the wheel when Turkish diplomats were killed in Ottawa and the Residence stormed and when the FLQ kidnapped the British Trade Commissioner and Provincial Labour Minister, so now they deploy full teams including snipers and EOD to Indigenous pipeline protests.

Tankbuster posted:lol if russia leaves them to die again. And by lol I mean evil. At a certain point political objectives and military ones being incompatible will cause a rift because doing things like this undermines what armies are for. First in the practical sense that if you’re not using them to control or even contest terrain why have them in the field, and second in the moral/morale sense that if you’re not going to fight for people what are you fighting for? It’s no good being kept out of the fighting. Canada was the only Commonwealth country kept out of the North Africa Campaign because that idiot King wanted to keep casualties low, so as to avoid another Conscription Crisis and not upset Quebec. In a lot of ways that mirrors what’s going on here, actually. Well, all that did was delay the lessons learned in battle until Sicily. Moreover, the Army, aware it was being kept out of combat while the RCN and RCAF earned laurels, had a weakened position in the inter-service rivalry and distribution of resources. At the fighting level, these years were a low point marked by three years of endless exercises on the Salisbury Plain, which damaged morale and fighting effectiveness, becoming routine rather than valuable training. Bored soldiers are the most dangerous to themselves and others and the Provosts were kept busy as Red Caps had to deal with trouble in the camps and garrisons, and venereal disease further sapped the strength of the Army. The last point militarily is that it also led to the Army sent to Northwest Europe lacking sufficient infantry replacements, because by avoiding North Africa, Canada had not been exposed to the reality of brigades being lost in an afternoon, as the South Africans had at Sidi Rezegh. South Africa also had to avoid conscription, and therefore casualties, for political reasons but they learned early on there were limits to this. It’s why they, like the Poles, fielded only an Armoured Division in 1944, and fought cautiously, though bravely. Canadians fought with their usual drive, absorbed large casualties and in the end had to conscript anyways. Diplomatically, this timidity for obvious political calculations hurt our relationship with the Commonwealth, weakened Canada’s position among the Western Allies, who previously held us in high regard for being the shock troops of the Western Front, and reduced our ability to guide the coalition. Making up for this put us in a difficult position, and led to politicians eagerly taking on a difficult sector in Italy, our own beach in Normandy and the Hard Left Flank in NW Europe, once again creating the very casualties the harebrained scheme was meant to prevent. Finally, it led to deeper resentment of French Canada, ironically creating the very result it was meant to avoid. When Conscription finally came in late 1944, and Quebec bitched, moaned and avoided doing their part there was marked hostility from English Canada. If the Russian Army has to come to grips with the Ukrainians and win the war on the battlefield, they’ll ultimately suffer more casualties than if their politicians had an ounce of backbone from the onset, when they could have rolled over the Ukrainians in two weeks and nearly did before stalling out. The Russian public isn’t going to appreciate that this was all avoidable and won’t be grateful that mobilization was deferred when it happens anyways.

Yeah, Civ 4 taught me that if you invade another Civ half-assed, without building a big enough attacking force and shifting all your cities over to producing military units then your invasion will simply stall out, the enemy Civ will chip away at your doom stack until it becomes ineffective and then they'll counter-invade with a bigger, better doom stack of their own. Putin's obviously never played Civ 4 is what I'm saying.

Frosted Flake posted:If there was that sort of consensus, then why not mobilize and do it properly with 700k men in two Combined and one Tank Armies, and drive deep to Lvov and Kiev from the onset? The divide is that the Russian government is a bunch of neo liberals like every other European nation. They thought they could just keep things business as usual while Ukraine fights a little war on its own. Nobody really expected the kinds of escalations that happened. Like you said, the forces that were unleashed on both sides aren't something the rulling class wants but they are forced to keep taking one step after another on this path and nobody knows where we'll end up. Edit: Follow up. Putin is described as a Russian nationalist in the sense is that he is willing to organize and bend the Russian rulling class to follow the interests of Russia and the rulling class. Dealing with the west is fine, as long as Russia comes first. Pro western politicians like Navalny are allowed to exist, but they're not allowed to undermine Russia's interests with impunity.

Iirc, the way that Ukraine was approaching the advance into Crimea meant that they would essentially outflank and make useless a bunch of Russian prepared defenses. Still strange that they'd pull out without a fight.
