I miss Fentimans (and Pyraser), but I'm glad it's not easy for me to get, or I would have drank all the teeth out of my skull, probably dead from diabetes. I rarely soda unless I go abroad.

Arrath posted:Christ 15 -> 500k is one hell of a return on investment. It’s not. Any maintenance and storage on them has already killed him. He might be making a small profit on them but not infinite money. In Finland, it wasn’t hard to buy BMPs. Many Finns also bought them from auctions from Checzia and Poland in early 2000s. They sold for a few thousand euros often, but you were responsible for transport out, which already upped the price. My ”neighbor” (few miles in the country side) bought some BMPs for a business retreat adventure park. Flat 2000€ each and I don’t think they ever made back what they ended up costing in fuel and maintenance. He stayed afloat with renting out the T-34 for movies and other things. Even now sometimes Finnish Army auctions will sell Ural trucks to you for a few thousands. Enjoy 10mpg and oil additions instead of changes.

Fragrag posted:In Belgian news, 40 privately-owned Leopard 1A5s are in a warehouse and their owner is loudly complaining he can't sell them because Wallonia won't give him an export permit for them. leo 1's have like no armor. they are better off just using t-72s at least they moved some of the ammo from next to the driver in the a5 version quote:The resulting Leopard 1A5 was based on 1,225 vehicles of the Leopard 1A1A1 model. The turrets were again modified for the 1A5, both in order to store all of the new equipment, as well as to move more of the ammunition into the rear of the turret, as opposed to the left side of the driver where it had previously been stored. The new turret was able to mount the newer 120 mm gun from the Leopard 2 if desired, although this option has not been used. ded fucked around with this message at 01:35 on Jan 29, 2023 |

Alan Smithee posted:im permabanned poster Beefeater1980 When I lived in England I remember being able to buy pasties with various kinds of curry in them at train stations. Absolutely A+ drunk food. There was also a late night curry house with lovely 70s fake leather booths that served rabbit and venison curry. Also A+ drunk food. If you bought two orders of it for takeout you could barter one for a free cab ride home if you hailed the right driver. Vincent Van Goatse fucked around with this message at 01:42 on Jan 29, 2023 |

The Leopard 2 at least has better crew protection and blow out systems unlike the T-72.

There was an article a few years ago about how real estate works In Moscow. Russia.txtquote:Selling Real Estate in Russia? Are You Crazy? quote:They found a two-bedroom apartment and secured a mortgage as well as a buyer for their former home. As closing day approached, the couple had one task to complete. Each would need a certificate of sanity from a psychologist. quote:In one common scheme, agents collude with property owners to sell homes and then race to petition judges that the sale should be invalidated because the seller was temporarily insane. Buyers lose their cash, sellers keep the homes and sales agents — and judges who may be in on the scheme — pocket millions of rubles. quote:This fall, one group of real estate agents, as all agents do, followed a cardinal rule of the property market: location, location, location. They were looking for a quiet spot with few neighbors and good waterfront access — to dispose of the bodies of customers who had gotten in the way of their making, well, a killing in the market. quote:There are people who lived to tell of harrowing Moscow real estate transactions. Last year, state television reported that a gang of brokers kidnapped about 30 Moscow apartment sellers over eight years and then kept their properties. The former owners, mostly alcoholic single men, were put to work as slave laborers on a remote farm. https://www.nytimes.com/2018/12/25/...&smid=share-url

The abject misery that the average Russian just takes it as their lot is beyond any comedy. Life just sucks, and it never gets better. After you get rescued from the slave labor real estate farm, you get sent to Ukraine without supplies to rush against a machinegun nest.

Gaius Marius posted:The literature this war is going to be producing decades from now is going to be sublime Correct. Just like every other decade. Having read a decent number of Russian literature from inter-war to end of the CCCP, the theme is always "Life is suffering, misery is constant, we have no future, suffering is our lot".

Cugel the Clever posted:I know a lot of folks around the forums like to seize on any and every opportunity to proclaim America a failed state. A lot of it does represent real, profound social ills in desperate need of redress, but reading about the insanity Russians have to suffer through highlights just how loving rotten a country can get without "failing". It’s profoundly remarkable how absolutely meaningless the average Russian is to anyone in power of any sort. And sort of crazier is even how well the average Russian just accepts it. I recently saw news of how injured Russian soldiers who get to hospitals get abused in them and their last bit of money squeezed out of them. A video taken discreetly of a double amputee Russian soldier getting beaten by the nurse who demanded he send his paycheck to her, and she tosses his food, which I presume to be some sort of gruel, to the floor. And then a series of text messages of that soldier or someone else in there texting his wife ”please come get me” and the wife saying how she will try to find a car to borrow to come as quickly as possible and the soldier just details how he’s getting abused and he ends it with a soul crushing ”you know how it is here”. Who do you complain to? Who would care? It’s just the way it is, after all.

I complain about how disengaged Canadians/insert western country citizens are from political issues, but I truly cannot understand the relationship between the Russian people and the Russian state. Things must have been catastrophically hosed in 1918 to move that needle.

Not really, the monarchy just pissed off the army badly enough that they joined regular bread riots and things got out of hand. It's why both the Soviets and modern Russian leadership spend so much on spying on the military and suppressing/purging anyone who seems too competent.

The answer, if both historical precedent and common sense are to be trusted, is to form some sort of "collective action" or "union" with your fellow disaffected war buddies. Preferably an ideal time is when they're handing out heavy weapons to anyone who can breathe.

Preferably an ideal time is when they're handing out heavy weapons to anyone who can breathe. The only problem is any Russian general who was too popular or has realized how raw of a deal the Russian people were getting, has had a tragic window accident, or took a bath inside of a duffel bag, or were cleaning their loaded sidearm when they accidentally shot themselves twice in the base of the skull from behind.

I don't put much stock in the general staff of our high functioning shitshow of a military, why would the russians at all care about the administrative authority of whatever general they are nebulously assigned too. You have the big sticks, be your own general. Its how it worked for thousands of years. Just find some charismatic guy on russian mil tiktok who doesn't seem to want to get you killed
