Leopards are supposed to be "good" tanks. Guess Ukraine must've run through the stocks of old Soviet war gear from Eastern NATO.

stopping the war is the same as admitting that Russia was right to start the war in the first place. The war can not stop until Russia either ceases to exist as a nation on the world stage, or if they are reduced to such a degree that they can literally never undertake military action against a neighbor for any reason ever again

Maybe the Russians could exist as a sort of pre-industrial society, where Russians work to produce agrarian goods for the civilized people of the world until they are no longer capable of working in the fields at which time they are disposed of. Obviously you wouldn't need as many Russians as you have in the world right now for this purpose so there would need to be a transition to bring the population down to a point that is easier to maintain going forward.

2014. Somewhere in the Steppe we found fifty tanks. We needed mechanics and drivers. Men who had served up to 20+ years were found. Where my comrade was only one got turned over, one was dropped in the river. These were Soviet tanks and drivers. NATO has them different. And operation, and repair and electronics. Something that the Khohols do not know how to do. That is from 300 tanks they will drop not 60, but all 120. And then the battle. Recently at Belgorod our guys took bourgeois light armor. It didn't even fire. They knocked out the drivetrain and that's it. Khohol gunner forgot which button to press. In general, western quickly fades away. Other philosophy of design. That is why the tanks were not given.

Two conclusions - first, tanks without tanks drivers (repairmen, staff, etc.) garbage. The second - it is not only us with little green men. For now it looks like a threat - if you push we will steamroll you. With regular NATO divisions. We'll see what happens next.

yeah sorry it's not a syq, the first part is a reflection of the attitudes I've read from the NAFO people who rail on about how Russia is an inherently dangerous civilization that has always terrorized their neighbors so there can be no real peace with them except from a position of absolute strength, the second part is the vision the Nazis had for the slavs post WW2

Sure. This kind of posturing and will they won’t they is fairly normal, particularly when the conflict is still considered far from militarily decided/stalemated by both sides of the conflict.

Russia’s claim that Ukraine is unreasonable makes sense from a posturing perspective and the perspective of Russia’s desire to annex 4 oblasts.

Ukraine refusing to sit down just to walk away the second Russia demands 4 oblasts or else also makes sense.
have the ukranians considered an ingenious device to reset time to before boris johnson scuttled the peace negotiations in pre-annexation ukraine

This is completely different. mlmp08 is assuming that the statements of anonymous US intelligence officials are true, which is obviously way more reasonable than making a mild hyperbole about something that is actually correct and supported by evidence.

Stuff keeps being set on fire or blowing up in Russia.

Is it some outside malevolent force or just corruption and neglect like every time something burns down, blows up, or collapses in America?
