BIG HEADLINE posted:The Russians had enough time to track F-22s over Syria to know how/what to look for. Given that we know they've got S-400 batteries in place I don't think we'd want to roll those dice. IIRC, the USAF specifically had them fly with stuff on external hard points so the Russians/Iran/whoever couldn't get profiles on them for when they fly completely stealth.

Anytime someone brings up NATO did this and are entirely to blame, just say "It's a defensive alliance" and then walk away, because there are better things to do with your day then argue with dipshits who want to throw out talking points they heard from Jimmy Dore or whatever.Mr. Nice! posted:NATO did not in any way force Putin's hand here. There are literal NATO countries on the border with Russia and none have ever attempted to do anything to Russia because outside of defending against their bullshit, no one really cares.

CBJSprague24 posted:I'm also fascinated as to dragging this on long enough leads the populace to go "gently caress this" and try to overthrow Vlad. It's been hectic so I can't remember if I saw this here or somewhere else but anyways, but someone pointed out that the intelligence coming out of Russia has been pretty solid compared to where it was 5-8 years ago. The speculation is that much of it is HUMINT coming from people plugged into the higher echelons of the Russian Military and the oligarchy because they too, see how stupid this whole enterprise is. So I mean, with that in mind, it's not outlandish that someone might try to remove him.

Duzzy Funlop posted:edit: Agreed with the rest of your post but on this, nah, take it from me, gently caress Gravel "Institute". I was an early supporter and was happy to see them say they were going to attempt to take Prager U's bullshit head on, but all they've done is get high on their own supply and put out their own terrible bullshit that sells false narratives. A lot of these assholes seem to think just because they want Medicare for all, they're also righteous about everything else. Jarmak posted:I wonder if the linguistic and ethnic similarities will cause a defection problem. There was that video posted a day ago of a Ukrainian telling a Russian soldier that if he wanted to drop his gear and change into civvies, he'd hide him in his house from his unit till he could turn himself over to Ukrainian forces. Otherwise, gently caress off and I'll shoot back at you if you shoot at me. Can't imagine stuff like that was an isolated incident. Hyrax Attack! posted:I’d believe it, some far left folk I’ve known in the Seattle area can wind up with bizarre ideas from their echo chamber. One guy thought all white people should be made to leave the city, except he’d be granted an exception for his work for socialist candidates. He also became fixated on the idea of running his small business in a way to minimize profit because of something Chapo said, until his wife yelled at him that they had a baby and only had health insurance because of her crazy hours and that no he would not be adopting a 15 hour work week. He’s gotten better since then. Genuinely believe the cure for a lot of this kind of stupidity is to "log off".

Bored As gently caress posted:The amount of intel their HUMINT assets are giving them has to be massive. Mentioned this earlier but there's a reason they've been getting better Intel from their HUMINT assets as of late, and it's not because some Russians suddenly love NATO or the US. Make anyone look at the reality of their assets or lifestyle suddenly evaporating because of someone else's stupidity or bad decision making, and I'm sure they'll tell you things they wouldn't have ever dreamed of telling anyone outside of their circles even a month ago in hopes that it might stop that from happening or continuing. fknlo posted:I can’t imagine that Putin doesn’t end up falling out a window if the oligarchs think that becomes an actual possibility.

Marshal Prolapse posted:It’s worse when you have to see it on the Jersey of your favorite basketball team and on the floor at the Wells Fargo Center. Oh hey I know that feeling. My MLS team, DC United, revealed their new sponsor last week, a crypto firm. Queue idiots running into the teams subreddit spamming links to buy crypto and NFTs while telling fans that our team was in "good hands"  , which makes no sense since all they are is a front of jersey sponsor, and nothing else . Pretty sure they were all banned after being told to gently caress off because no one in the fanbase gives a fuuuuuck about crypto.Anyways to make this tangibly related to the thread topic, home opener was on Saturday and they had a moment of silence for Ukraine and there were a ton of Ukrainian flags and signs of support around the stadium. To my knowledge, no one on either team is from Ukraine, but even still, it was nice to see  psydude posted:US Treasury just froze all assets of the Russian Central Bank and National Wealth Fund in pre-trading hours so they couldn't transfer them out. This basically means they have no way to guarantee depositors in the event of a bank run (which is already happening); the Russian banking industry will likely implode. It would be very cash money to see videos of US Marshalls seizing some yachts right about now.

Pine Cone Jones posted:Edit: Also I'd love to see what China's reaction to this escalation is, I'd like to hope that they're telling Russia to turn it the gently caress down. From all the tea leaves reading I've seen, the impression seems to be two things. One, China is a *tad* annoyed with part of Russia's justification for invading Ukraine, namely the whole recognizing two Ukrainian provinces declaring independence and Russia swooping in to recognize them. Cause China would prefer that maybe great powers don't start giving precedent to other countries that they can start recognizing territory as independent states that other states feel are rightfully theirs for whatever reason. Had Russia left that part out of their reasoning as to why they were invading, it's probable China would be far less neutral then they are right now. The other, is China is pretty confident in itself that they are the ascending great power, and there is zero upside for them to jump into this on Russia's behalf when they can just continue to let things play out and reap the rewards. If Russia want's to tank their economy and give China more openings for foreign investment and what not, no skin off their back. Arrath posted:It's very strange to me that A-10s could potentially operate as designed, against the Russian loving Army without getting immediately blotted out of the sky by, you know, the world class IADS the Russians are supposed to possess. It's like having Jordan being benched for reasons beyond your control, but you're watching Muggsy Bogues just score dunk after dunk despite feeling like it shouldn't even be possible.

Am I wrong in thinking that even with Sweden and Finland not being apart of NATO, that Russia invading either would A)Go far far worse than this invasion has, and B)Likely bring about an even more engaged response from NATO and the EU? No disrespect intended towards the Ukrainians because they are currently punching well above their weight, but I feel like the militaries of both Sweden and Finland are far more capable of putting the hurt on Russia if they chose to invade.
