Fell Mood posted:I disagree with the idea that an opposing voice has merit simply because it is in opposition, with no regard to logic or common sense. If everyone in the thread is agreeing that 2+2=4, I wouldn't say that someone saying 2+2=5 is a good thing that breaks up the "circle jerk", and the idea that Russia went to war in Ukraine for reasons similar to US imperialism is bizarrely wrong. there are in fact cases where 2 + 2 = 5, depending on the number of significant figures you are using

Punisher Skull? You bet. Totenkopf on your flag? Yep. Time to post this officially! —— Mlmp8 is not “good” per se , but since they are a pedantic crank dedicated to arguing in Ukraine threads across the forums I must support their right to come in here and make dumb posts.

Slavvy posted:How is the bullshit even supposed to work didn't the principle get debunked completely Eh its really really common. Maybe you are thinking of UCP which made you universally findable because of the poor color choices, but CADPAT and MARPAT seem to do fine in their intended environments. Russia and China also have plenty of digital camo too, and it serves more purposes than just hiding you. E.g. identifying you to your allies. And it looks Cool and futuristic so the soldiers can feel like badasses in the best their country can offer. and maybe easy to print, and probably does as fine a job just breaking up your outline as "regular" camo.

was digital camo ever found to be actually good? I've only ever criticism of it that "nature doesn't look like that" or something similar, which intuitively means it's really effective at camouflaging people, but I don't know if that's simply a knee-jerk, "common sense" reaction

Fat-Lip-Sum-41.mp3 posted:America has troops in Europe. The ruling class will side with the US to the detriment of their citizens. Swedish state broadcaster has been going crazy about identifying spying operations, posting their own "investigations" about Chinese owned companies insinuating they share technologies with china, eventually turning over lists to security police and them going "hmm yes troubling indeed". Like the article was insinuating the leadership of loving Volvo was in cahoots and responding to some insidious party member indoctrination board, with the whole thing being that Chinese national security law that brought the Alibaba group into compliance with regulations. But because it uses language that can be translated insidiously it means The Party has agents everywhere and you cannot tell apart private and government ownership etc etc. It'd be hilarious in its deragement if it wasn't so maddening. The point is that the leadership at SVT is all upperclass with a literal married-into nobility editor reporting to SÄPO in which the top brass is literal married-into nobility. They did the same with a suspected Russian spy list which i assume is just a printed list of employees at the embassy which has always been 20/80 diplomats/"diplomats".

dk2m posted:it’s honestly embarrassing. whatever hope I used to have for western leftism, especially after covid suddenly showed labor the power it has and it was immediately squashed by the financial class by raising unemployment, has completely evaporated. we’d rather have pointless street battles with each other over the same wedge issues rather than truly changing the power structure. anyway, this isn’t about ukraine anymore and me just being resigned by the bullshit, so I’ll stop It’s not that the willpower isn't there. I met plenty of good people fighting in the streets during the cool times, but it’s all incredibly dangerous. Specially to organize anything meaningful. The people best suited to do the organizing also have the most to lose. That nazis are more openly accepted in the society tells you how hostile an environment it is.

Digital camouflage looks cooler than regular camouflage. And as we've discussed, that's the only thing anyone in the military making decisions cares about.

I called Kagan and asked him why he sees the Ukraine war not as something that we’ve stumbled into but rather the natural extension of this century-long arc of U.S. foreign policy that he’s been writing about. Kagan’s answers will comfort some and discomfort others, but it is important to have this discussion

MR. SULLIVAN: Well, first, Russia has done what it frequently does when it is responsible for something, which is make accusations that it was really someone else who did it. We’ve seen this repeatedly over time.

I demand that western diplomats stop wearing modern business suits and start wearing only period costumes from the 17th and 18th century as worn by the French and other EU nobility of old. No long neckties, just hand fans to cover their mouths and titter behind. Powdered wigs are optional but encouraged.

dk2m posted:I’ll be the first one to admit that Russia is a lovely, hollowed out, neoliberal state that is run by a comically corrupt type of kleptocracy. they got hosed so hard in the 90s that they still haven’t recovered. the problem is, because they haven’t recovered, it’s still causing problems. It's a paradox that you made up in your head. Reorganizing their society to become used to the benefits of a war economy? Are you loving kidding me? They've hollowed out the most productive generation of their population to either the draft or the dodging/fleeing of said draft, lost so much of their military assets that they're bringing out rusted equipment out of storage from WWII, and are having to basically beg China for assistance in everything, and you think this has somehow strengthened them? Your argument might hold weight when applied to a country like China, e.g. preventing China from acquiring advanced microchips might — might — result in them developing their own domestic capabilities that might one day rival those of the West. But Russia is not China. As you yourself noted, even before it invaded Ukraine, Russia was a lovely state run by a corrupt kleptocracy. Regardless of what happens to Ukraine, this war has all but guaranteed their demise as a country.

StashAugustine posted:Tbh I'm not sure if the first and second statements are contradictory They're not contradictory, but they are both wrong. There's no sane understanding of "imperialism" that results in an understanding that Russia is similarly imperialist to the US. Even if you believe Russia was wrong to go to war (which is understandable, given the costs of the war), the contemporary history of the region is basically one that involves the US/NATO directly being hostile to Russia through countries like Ukraine (and in ways that involve propping up nazis, because those tend to be the most powerful groups that have been opposed the USSR/Russia in neighboring countries). Russia's own actions here aren't analogous to what the US has done in countries like, say, Iraq (which is a bizarre comparison I've seen on many occasions regarding this war).
