Nonsense posted:Putin is pretty stupid if he doesn't pre-emptively assault Poland lol GMT almost almost on the money Next War: Poland, the fourth volume in GMT's Next War Series. This game moves the action from Asia to Europe and allows players to fight a near future war in Poland as the Russians and their allies invade and NATO responds. Only a portion of Poland is shown as Ukraine is assumed to be in the midst of a grinding civil war. The Russians are not the behemoth of the Cold War, but they possess good material and a much better trained army. The Baltics may fall quickly, although their forces may put up some resistance and make an appearance as reinforcements, and the front quickly establishes itself in eastern Poland as the Russian 6th and 20th Armies push forward while NATO rushes forces into the area spearheaded by the Allied Rapid Reaction Corps and followed up by whatever nation's troops respond to the Article 5 declaration. The question is, can NATO stop the Russians or will Poland be overrun?

Frosted Flake posted:It's the biggest loving scam in the world. We had a civilian contractor come in and train us how to use a fire extinguisher on a fire extinguisher simulator during basic training. I got to go to a big simulator with real fire and smoke. That was after basic though. For some reason I kept getting sent on a bunch of damage control assignments both on ship and off even though they never sent me to a rifle course.

Starsfan posted:2) Prigozhin's private catering company was paid over 1 billion USD to supply the Russian army with food over the last year, which I had no idea was going on but apparently has made Prigozhin a rich man.. We were all mocking Prigozhin for being a jumped up hot dog salesman, but I guess sometimes that line of work can really pay off!

Thats usually the first lesson they teach you in fire fighting, always call for help on anything you can't immediately put out, because fire can get out of hand real fast

Starsfan posted:Not going to post the stuff in here but there seems to be video evidence posted in the usual places that the target in Kramatorsk was actually a hotel that was housing a bunch of Ukrainian soldiers and western war tourist types.. So is the story that the Russians missed the hotel and blew up the cafe on accident or that the cafe never existed; it was a hotel? Or is it some other thing? Or they hit a hotel and a cafe, but they figured blowing up the cafe was worthwhile in order to kill someone else who might have been near the cafe?

Just reading when titans clashed and this passage jumped out at me for some reasonquote:The German OKW confidentially “informed” its Soviet counterpart that the troop buildup in the East was actually a deception aimed at British intelligence and that Germany needed to practice for Sea Lion in a region beyond the range of British bombers and reconnaissance aircraft. In a June 1941 newspaper article, Propaganda Minister Joseph Goebbels leaked disinformation that an invasion of Britain was imminent. Goebbels then ostentatiously had the newspaper withdrawn from circulation and put himself in simulated disgrace for his “mistake.”

mlmp08 posted:So is the story that the Russians missed the hotel and blew up the cafe on accident or that the cafe never existed; it was a hotel? Or is it some other thing? it sounds like the story from the Ukraine side is that the Russian collaborator they claim they have captured who was apparently the one who was informing on the soldiers was tasked with figuring out what time the soldiers were typically at the property and using the cafe.. Maybe the Russians figured that it would be easier to take out more soldiers while they were all jammed into the cafe eating shoulder to shoulder than when they were in their separate rooms in the Hostel. This is coming from the Ukrainians mind you.. that they have arrested a collaborator who was snitching on their troops who were routinely at this property *and who were apparently the large majority but sadly not the only victims of the missile strike You can admit that you just read the GBS thread where they are crying about another Russian war crime targeting a civilian pizzeria and came in here to poo poo on the tankies without realizing the fact that the place was packed with soldiers /mercenaries at the time of the strike. **and yes from the video I've seen it looks like the property that was struck was a multi story hostel/hotel with what was presumably a restaurant located at the front of the property. Both the restaurant and the rooms section of the property were heavily damaged by the explosion.. the Restaurant looks completely leveled and a large portion of the multi story section of the building has also collapsed... it almost looks like the building may have been hit by more than one missile. it's not a pretty scene.

Starsfan posted:I think added on to Prigozhin's motivation was apparently his catering company was having it's contracts with the Russian state systematically dissolved.. it seems like beyond providing food and services for the military, he was also involved in supplying the Russian school system with food and potentially other contracts as well. He ended up getting progressively squeezed out of that racket, saw the end of his influence and business speeding up at him on the horizon, and he decided to do something incredibly stupid. Putin was putting a lot of emphasis on how much Prigozhin's companies depend on state funding. Apparently Prigozhin didn't understand his role, and Putin can't let it go.

Interesting discussion: https://youtube.com/watch?v=Z1DDUyNUHQ8&feature=share "In the days after the attempted coup by the Wagner mercenary group in Russia, what do we know? The Western media coverage was generally drooling. Why did Yevgeny Prigozhin start an armed coup attempt against the Russian government? Was the US involved?"
