Mr. Apollo posted:I always hear "every war has always ended in a negotiated settlement". Is this true of WW2 also? I was always under the impression that it was the Allies presenting their terms for unconditional surrender to Germany and Japan and telling them that if they didn't accept, the war would continue until there was no one left to agree to an unconditional surrender. If you try to look for actual cases of a negotiated settlement where one side does significant concessions in exchange for a lasting peace (what is suggested Ukraine should do) it's hard to find any. The Vietnam War had negotations and an officially signed Paris Accord but the war ended with the North achieving total military victory over the South. No negotiations were done in the Falklands War except on the surrender of Argentinian forces in Port Stanley. All of the wars Russia was involved in after the end of the Soviet Union have ended either with Russia taking what it wanted by force (Chechnya) or taking part of it and freezing the conflict to be resumed later regardless of any agreements made.

Maybe a year ago there was a story about Russians rigging a BMP to be remote controlled, loading it with explosives and driving to Ukrainian lines. I don't think it was very effective though, especially considering the shortage of afvs.

It is not. Germany's surrender was completely unconditional. Japan's was unconditional, but with the understanding that the emperor would be allowed to retain his throne.

I don't think it was very effective though, especially considering the shortage of afvs. I've seen a couple videos of this happening and them getting blown up prior to making it to troops. They were massive explosions. I think they loaded them with anti tank mines. Content: drone production in UA is ramping up: https://kyivindependent.com/deputy-minister-ukraine-can-produce-150-000-drones-per-month/ quote:Ukraine has the capacity to produce 150,000 drones every month, and may be able to produce two million drones by the end of the year, Strategic Industries Deputy Minister Hanna Hvozdiar said on air on March 5. Also another russian ship got taken out by naval drones, unsure of details but seen the vids. LifeSunDeath fucked around with this message at 17:36 on Mar 5, 2024 |

squarely taking a lesson from their encounters with isis in the mid-2010s. unfortunately for the russians, ukraine has even more widespread anti-armor than syria so vbieds didn't have quite the impact

Nitrox posted:Хуй means Cock/dick/penis in Russian I took it as "Li Hui" is pronounced pretty similarly "Lee Way" as in the word leeway...the thing you want in negotiations. (Hui is more like "h-way" than it is "hoo-ie" which I think is the pronunciation of the Russian word you have there) But I guess there are multiple funny things if you pronounce it slightly differently.

Hungary's president ratified Sweden for NATO, so it's just left for the US to rubber stamp everything now that all NATO governments have ratified right? Welcome to the club Sweden: https://www.reuters.com/world/europe/hungary-president-signs-swedens-nato-membership-ratification-2024-03-05/

Yeah, there's only a few technicalities left now. The remaining steps: - Hungary deposits its ratification paper at the US State Dept - NATO formally invites Sweden - Sweden hands its accession paper at the US State Dept – and becomes a NATO member immediately. For Finland, those 3 steps happened inside like half an hour because they did some trickery that allowed everything be done in Brussels where everybody involved was in the same building at the same time. For Sweden it might take a day or two.

I wish it had not happened. As if it wasn't enough they sold out the Kurds, they were also glad to lift their arms embargo against Turkey. I do not think this was a good path for Sweden to pursue. Good luck to them.

From a realist and practical standpoint, Swedens short or long term interests are not in Turkey, but in their own backyard. How many major wars have they fought against Russia?
