Dnders even if you scoff at the problematic language if you don't see the inherent truth in that post theres little hope for you.

Last I heard they were all in storage awaiting scrapping. Nothing operational.

Ukraine however still operates a few hundred modified T-64BM Bulats.

So either it's Kiev trying to cover up more desertions among it's eastern units having brought along armour this time. Or Russia dragged out a few of storage, slapped some blue and yellow to the side, and intend to claim it's obvs local ukrainian deserters on account of Russia not even having any of those tanks anymore.

Someone with better knowledge of t-64 variants will presumably be able to differentiate the modernized Ukrainian version and any fake-Ukrainina tanks from Russia. But honestly the west has done a stellar job of he-said/she-said reporting instead of pointing out obvious propaganda so far, so look forward to more "it's unclear who the heavy armour column rolling in from the east are, the muscowite accented tankers have removed their arm-patches".

Apparently they have video of 3 tanks and several bmp units crossing the border.http://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-27849437

Reminder that Japan allowed a video game to be made and sold where you can graphically rape children. Should have nuked them a couple more times tbqh.

And Parsons did a hentai review of the game complete with pics which is still available for some reason.

This doesn't feel like a bluff, they're literally sending tanks and other weapons.

I think Putin can smell weakness and knows he'll get away with minor sanctions to separatist leaders. I mean Crimea is basically theirs now they barely mention it. The whole debate right now is over the Eastern territories.

France, the only nation to lose wars to the Brits the Krauts, the Spainards, and the Slopes in the last 150 years and they still get to claim world power status because unlike the rest of super gay europe, they're down with nukes.

:cis:

They've been riding that Napolean wave for too long.

Mexico would be a crater. Israel shows way more restraint than any world power would given a similar situation. Look at Chechnya and how China handles EVERYTHING

Frankly if they just went out and did the proper response to these things they'd get way less flak. The "restraint" just encourages them. Its not something they respect.

Yea from what we've seen in videos and poo poo they have commanders/specops from russia calling the shots and directing poo poo because theres no way the rebel "leader" whose wasted 24/7 is putting up the semi-competent defense like they have been.

For my own sanity I pretend that those are just people trolling the protests

A lot of em' are, it was kind of a thing at my uni at least. Although id still perfectly believe some of those people would be dumb enough to believe that.

I don't think the current influx of kids crossing the border is really worth mobilizing 1000 guardsmen. Now if there'd been a really steep uptick in cartel bullshit that would be something else, but this smacks of just being another part of his pathetic attempt to rebrand himself.

Theres like tens of thousands of unescorted kids crossing the border next to drug smugglers and other human traffickers. Surely you can see why this is bad and something to get a handle on. Political grandstanding aside.

Except the guardsmen aren't actually allowed to do anything, so it's just going to be a much more expensive repeat of that Minuteman nonsense.

What do you mean? I figured they'd be watching the border and intercepting people who came across? They'd have the legal authority to do that unlike the civvies.

Except they wouldn't, they'd need to contact local authorities or Border Patrol to actually detain someone. TXNG could only be working in a non-law enforcement capacity observing the border for signs of illegal entry, for whatever its worth.

Gotcha. Thanks for the info. I guess having the extra eyes to spot kids coming across could help :shrug:

You know how "gently caress the system" kids in America go to an Occupy protest or make some wicked cool banners in college? In the Middle East they country hop playing jihad.

lol we literally invaded a country for no loving reason and nothing came of it

Yes, authorized by our Congress and publicly noted so if anyone had a problem it could be aired publicly and against a corrupt dictator nobody liked.

None of this official "no we didn't" when anyone with half a brain knows they did. Don't compare the two.

Authorized by Congress based upon intelligence that was incredibly circumstantial at best, and blatantly false at worst. I wasn't aware that a dictator whom "nobody liked" is judicial pretense for starting a war.

Are you serious?

Don't try to make it out to be some sterling example of American jurisprudence. Granted, I'm speaking with the benefit of hindsight, but the world would be an incontrovertibly better place if we had never invaded Iraq and Saddam Hussein was still in power.

I agree but that has literally nothing to do with what we're talking about. Its a complete nonsequiter.

quote:

If you want a different comparison, try Yemen. Russia's actions in Ukraine mirror ours there. Of course nothing happened because of them. When you're big enough and have enough leverage, you have quite a free hand to run around with.

We have Yemen's OK for that and we aren't trying to bring down the yemeni government, just terrorists even they don't like. You are reaching hard here for a "Amerikkka does it too!" comparison and it just isn't happening. I don't even know why you brought this up when the topic was "Russia has committed acts of war against the government of Ukraine"

Yeah basically Hamas can't get its guys to figure out that when you launch rockets out of a UNRWA school courtyard you have to make sure the school isn't in the rocket's path. Oops! It's cool, when you post the deathcounts from 'due to the war with Jewish aggressors' you can count on the Western press to change that to 'from Israeli shells.'

And even if the Israelis show pictures showing the impacts clearly on the wrong side of the building you can get your Hamas guys who also work for UNWRA (as stated before they're thoroughly penetrated) to route up a statement of disagreement and grave concern. Safe!

Frankly I'm surprised UNRWA admitted they've found a third school used as a Hamas missile magazine / launch point. Doesn't say if they gave those missiles back to Hamas, too.

I clicked into the dnd thread out of curiosity and its shocking how much hamas cum they'll swallow and nod their heads asking for more. Even from wherever you stand on the issue its just unnerving.

It must be terrifying for those poor Israelis having to live with such a threat.

Do you mind if I mortar your neighborhood with your friends and family a few hundred times a month?

Don't worry though I'm a terrible shot.
