If Russia is having this much trouble with Ukraine, even with NATO pocket change, imagine if a dozen NATO countries all pitched in at once versus Russia lol

Su-57 is a prime example of everything wrong with the Russian army. It's always 20 years behind NATO now. The Su-57 is a great dog fighter but you aren't dog fighting anyone when F-35's are dropping missiles 300km away to blow you up.

At which point russia would pres butan and nooks go farting all over the place, most most likely staying in their tubes or into various ditches around moscow to a succession of sad clown noises, after which half of them fizzle out and the rest go pop, and that'll be the end of that.

If you ban someone, they can just rereg immediately. A probe keeps them away for a while longer.

OK but what if the country responds to the first barrage of cruise missiles by striking back at NATO bases? Like, the NATO forces send a barrage of cruise missiles at AA sites in the bad guy country, but then the bad guy country responds by sending a barrage of cruise missiles at NATO airbases?

This is what I mean, the western/NATO playbook relies on a massive discrepancy in military power. But if the country can actually fight back, that changes things.

that's what russia tried with ukraine, but even despite the massive discrepancy between the two russia didn't do nearly as good as they expected.

Usually when useful idiots and propagandists come crawling out of the woodwork, insisting Ukraine has just lost the war as russia is about to send the reanimated corpses of their elite batallions, it means that something very bad has happened for russia.

I don't think this is an accurate summary of events. You say Russia gave up on having a "real" economy, do you mean, like, FIRE stuff? Because Russia has always been a petro state. And their economy has grown during the full-scale invasion, due in large part as I understand it to government investment.

Russia is doing more trade than ever with China. If a country is doing full and free trade with the largest country in the world, I think that kinda by default rules out them having become a pariah state.

Russian victory would get them not only the territory but a ton of experience fighting modern western weapons and tactics, and keep Ukraine out of NATO.

And if we're going to talk about which side in this war is sending out conscripts "half armed", well,

Russia' economy has grown largely due to military industrial complex. Which produces things that immediately get destroyed, and also you cannot eat them and nobody in civilian economy wants them. Money is being spent on things that are completely useless other than for war.

Mostly because handing out a 100K to a idiot poster is amusing and a ban+30 doesnt last as long. Perma is for the really hosed up poo poo.

100K's are also used for when a mod/admin may want to rescind the probation after a year or so for various reasons and not initially done because the poster is poo poo.

“You have to think in your own interests. If your partners say: 'We are giving you seven Patriot batteries tomorrow, but we ask you not to do this and this and this,' then there is something to talk about. But if you don’t have these batteries, there is no help package and at the same time you are asked not to do something, What should we talk about? Then everyone survives as best they can," the Ukrainian Minister of Foreign Affairs said.


He is right.
