redshirt posted:I know why it's happening - Russian actions - but it's sad to see much of the world re-arm after so long, much of Europe and Asia was disarmed for the most part after WW2, and seemed to like it. I wonder if this represents some of the reluctance of Europe to respond to Russian actions now, that it was a good period of time and they don't want to see it go away. The European NATO countries were quite heavily armed until 1990, unfortunately they got cocky and signed the Conventional Forces Europe treaty according to which Russia could move stuff to Siberia to avoid having to destroy it and the European nations could not. In theory, they could have moved their tanks and howitzers to places like the Falklands, Guyana and the Antilles to also get them out of the treaty area but they decided to play it fair. All those massive tank and artillery storage sites now being watched to count how much is left are from way back then.

MrQwerty posted:MTG doesn't know poo poo about anything FTFY The lady is so nuts that she was kicked out of the "Freedom Caucus" (the coalition consisting of the other Putin rimjobbers/Trump worshipers/"build the wall" types) for being too crazy. Although, it was funny when some of these "leftist" groups who "just want peace" had to start furiously backpedaling when they realized that their positions were aligned with, and publicly supported by, the far right nutjob lady.

It was Johnson stopping it from being voted on and a handful of under developed people like MTG or Gaetz making noise about it. depends on the conservatives. I know plenty even trump liking ones who are fine with backing ukraine or think biden isnt doing enough and we should article 5 already. that being said a big section which are either hardline trumpers or weird religious nuts or ultra nationalists run full isolationist or believe russias bullshit for various reasons. The_Franz posted:FTFY this. most of them are true believer idiots or oppertunists, maybe like 20 years ago, the GOP had enough brain boyz to keep them in line. lol now.

Yeah, the European NATO members were pulling their weight in the cold war. Take as an example the Netherlands, a small, not particularly warlike country with a population of 15 million people at the time. In 1990, we had : 2889 infantry fighting vehicles. Down to 766 now. 913 main battle tanks. Down to 18 now. 418 units of artillery. Down to 116 now. 211 fighter jets (F16). Down to 42 now. 14 navy destroyers. Down to 6 now. After a lot of hand wringing, and a lot of political and logistical maneuvering, the UK, US, and western europe between them finally managed to send 90 or so tanks to Ukraine. The Netherlands of 1990 could fill that order by itself , and not really break a sweat doing so.

Lol what. You're claiming that some tankies actually reflected on something and changed their position? Did they somehow manage to arrive at "actually Putin is quite bad"? I find that hard to believe

I am entirely ok with Russia launching a full scale air land and sea invasion of Ireland just to see out of sheer curiosity how “Road Bowls”would be weaponized against the invaders. To see the stuffed turkey in a track suit figure of the mighty Pa Flood off the TickTalk doing big underarm stone lobs against some sea air rust etched T14s and watching them fast bowled stones punch big holes in the armour. It would be grand.

I find that hard to believe No, they just slightly altered their posturing to try and not appear as though they were in league with a right wing whacko, even though they all want the same outcome in this case.

zone posted:https://twitter.com/NOELreports/status/1780945360170402065 Russian air defense seems to be pretty good at stopping air attacks. Maybe not quite in the way the designers intended, but the warheads were destroyed at the air defense (not by the air defense).

Ah, don't worry, we have a plan for that...  Seriously though, I'm pretty sure the real plan would be "surrender instantly and hope that the UK isn't willing to share a land border with Russia and eventually decides to do something about it, and also hope that 'something' isn't 'sell Northern Ireland to Putin...'"
