I love how the combined firepower of the Sevastopol naval base can't bring down a motorized canoe
It's an interesting echo of Millennium Challenge 2002, maybe lessons were learned.

"Soon after the cruise missile offensive, another significant portion of Blue's navy was "sunk" by an armada of small Red boats, which carried out both conventional and suicide attacks that capitalized on Blue's inability to detect them as well as expected."

Yeah, except that's an old and tired lie that originated due to interpersonal rivalries in the military and later was latched onto and propagandized as part of the war on "decadent and weak west" waged by, among others, Russian agents.

So pls don't spread it.

Oh yeah for sure, there's a lot of bullshit around that (especially the "motorcycle couriers") I just find it interesting that someone found a way to make "tiny boat swarm attack" actually work in the real world.

The Great Game is still happening but it has increasingly become a spectacle of pathos and regret, like octogenarians fist fighting.

It honestly surprises me how much the UK is supporting Ukraine, given how thoroughly corrupt and rife with Russian money the Tories are.

Just to confirm, you're cheering for a famine?

For anyone confused, slurm was making an ill-advised reference to a Dril tweet. Probably should have explained and moved on.

Generally speaking the ANZACs are by necessity aligned with America + Western Europe while also being extremely aware that China is one of their most important trading partners.

“I hope to be back to give an Easter mass here,” said Fedak, who was picking up pieces of wood that had been the Tenth Station of the Cross before it was blasted by a shell the day before. “If it is still not safe here, I have already prepared my paperwork to become an Army chaplain,” he said.

What a badass.

My only issue with the thread modding is that sometimes people catch a minor probe for making jokes, but as aphid says, gently caress it, it's a sixer, who cares.

:siren: New OP is live. :siren:

I'm not excluding that it'll get tested by the more adventurous goons, so please give it a few weeks to settle down.

Serious question; why not just start a new thread with the new OP and link the old one from it? Start fresh.
