Gsv gently caress your god (love the culture ref btw) makes some good points the tankies can't really refute. Here's another good one

GSV gently caress Your God posted:

I think sanctions should continue on Russia indefinitely. They should be made far more complete. There should never be any trade between them and the West until the Russian state collapses.

As we recall the last time Russia collapsed and balkanized in the 90s it had the fantastic results we can see today. We need more of this, and also it should be treated like 90s Iraq.

I imagine the flare ups are due to everything in Ukraine and Europe going so swimmingly well that people are just overjoyed at the current situation.

Definitely not lashing out at one another in pointless impotent rage because the plan isn't working out and primacy of a nation is at stake. Better to rage and deny rather than revise.

Ultimately well, it keeps them off the streets.

honestly I think all the war threads should be closed, including this one. Maybe make smaller topic based threads about the status of bakhmut or other major current events in the conflict instead?

Just seems like chat about the essential morality of the conflict is always hyperaids and breaks the brains of everyone involved, and as funny as specific meltdowns sometimes have been, i don't think it's a good idea to leave this thread open to get flooded yet again by psychos threatening to unironically kill people because they've decided posting is a literal warfront or whatever

I mean most economic connections are already severed besides some gas coming in from a single pipeline (which Europe very much still needs).

I don't know if it needs to be a war thread but it doesn't seem really fair not to be able to dicuss the former Soviet Union. Also, the war is still a big topic even in an international sense. Honestly, it sounds more like their problem to be honest.

I thought that CSPAM thread was too spicy for me, what with the overt calls for genocide, support for certain Chinese actions in Xinjiang, and claims that George Soros was controlling particular aspects of international politics, so I�ll probably settle here and enjoy nice sensible discussions instead

Anyway I hope this thread doesn�t get closed too.

e: this is off-topic, my bad.

also who in their right mind would ever sympathize with europe given what theyve been up to.

also im convinced the t14 armata is russias f-35, people have completely forgotten how and why they make tanks and planes anymore

F-35 has actually seen action while the t14 hasn't? It is fun to dogpile on to the F-35 in a vacuum with it's cost, lovely availability rates, etc... at least it is getting used. For some reason after the sanctions in 2014 Russia stopped making the T14 :thunk:

Also, fascists in Ukraine, meh, there are no more or less than in every other nation on earth. If anything the scary fascist Azov batallion has been disbanded albeit after getting elevated to heroic status after Mariupol(guess whose fault it is?)

lol Christ. Is this what was going on in GBS?

It�s a national ideology founded on romanticizing a subregion collaborating with the literal Third Reich, and blood and soil nationalism. How the gently caress is claiming Bandera as the founder of the nation anything less?

The F-35 has seen very little action considering how many there are of them and how much money has been dumped on them. Also, the T-14 was unveiled in 2015, even then I don't know what mysterious technology that they need they couldn't just get through other sources unless you believe Russia can't free just get the electronics it wants at this point. I think the Russians realized that expensive new tanks really aren't the answer and they could upgrade multiple existing T-90s for the same time and cost of a T-14. The T-14 is still being produced (there is evidence) but it is at low rates.

it's good imo. without megathreads you're not likely to get the density of posters that generates weird side tangents on eastern european nationalism, gas pipeline details and/or nazi family background info of EU officials who say braindead poo poo
