Amd I imagine Ukraine's biggest tactical drone threat are just civilian drones thatbhave been repurposed. We send them billions and my friend still had to buy a 500 dollar drone from.B&H to send to his cousin's Marine platoon to use for surveillance. That was in constant danger of being stolen by other units and that at least once they.had to risk their human lives to go recover from no mans land after the Russians knocked it out of the sky

In the shadow of conflict and contention, Laozi spoke to a disciple, troubled by the whispers of the Ukraine war:

"Listen not only to the voices that echo the song of tankies or Russian tales, but seek wisdom in many gardens. In the discourse of war and peace, remain, not to accuse but to inquire, for in the dance with diverse truths lies the path to enlightenment."

remembering is a normal thing that humans do. but exposure to the red star has rewired the brains of tankies so their normal memories are scoured away and all that remain are helldumps. if this isn't obvious to you then i question if maybe you're not a putin puppet yourself.

Why? They'll just rewrite their past to be in accordance with their current beliefs. It's why every lib was against the Iraq war when asked now but there was huge support for it when you look at polling from the past. The only problem would be anything they personally wrote on the internet that can be dug back up by their posting enemies.

he didn't make the best impression. probably some degree of difficulty with English but I still wish he went into more detail.

Liberals are Nazis with Nazi beliefs that just don't want to be publicly called out for them.

Yes but to be fair, they don't know their beliefs line up with nazism because they never looked any deeper at it, they've just understood some beliefs aren't okay to speak of other than in dog whistles.

They've figured out you have to denounce ""islamists"" rather than Muslims or a particular practice rather than religions or cultures. They won't say we should execute all disabled people but they'll advocate ending welfare to "bust those who don't contribute" with no response on who those people are because they've been in it for so long they only talk in dog whistles and don't even realise theyre not saying the whole thing, to them "those who don't contribute" is an obvious group but they're not allowed to say it and their brain blocks all thoughts on what "busting" them would practically mean.

It's Goodwin making the internet "law" after being called a Nazi a hundred times and refusing to read anything else but a summary from Wikipedia.

yeah, some of my friends are kinda like this. you have to be very delicate if you want to attempt to point out the logical conclusions of where their beliefs go.

I'd say it's a lot simpler; Broken clock, US has started so many wars it stands to reason one of them would be good, this time a democrat is in office so he must have a good reason, etc.

It's a desire to absolve their guilt for being in the center of the empire, augmented by a media blitz across multiple formats. They want to have The Good War, the one their great grandfathers got to have.

When it turns out this war, like the last one, the one before that, the third to last one, the fourth one, etc., was actually terrible and had a net negative effect on the world, they won't have to ruminate on it. They were truly powerless to stop it, they were tricked into it, the press will publish retrospectives on how it was a bad war (that they heavily promoted, and only after it's finished or cannot be stopped), the only people still bringing it up are Trolls, all the great ways to drain your excess guilt & doubt in the system.

There's actually a hebrew saying for this; bokhim ve-yorim, or Shooting and Crying. You commit unspeakable atrocities, then you speak up against those atrocities, and then you repeat.

They might not have any nefarious motives for this, and might genuinely believe that they are in fact using their weary experiences to warn future generations, but more subconsciously it's to cleanse ones soul of the contradictions in a 'liberal' empire that must quench its thirst for blood.

What difference does that make? Drones can't take and hold ground and they suicide every time you use them as anything other than an observer. If you've got a drone that can actually launch missiles the cost goes up greatly and puts you in the size category of small aircraft aka instantly dead if it gets anywhere near a manpad.
