Al-Saqr posted:russia being open to ending the war with only half of Donetsk/Zaparozhia and none of kharkov and losing Kherson would be a spectacular backdown from them and an admission that they just ate too much poo poo to be able to go on. Thats the proposal from the US side (Sullivan), note that they dont report Russia's response (which was probably "lol, lmao, we're not paying Ukraine")

I'd assume she were using Casualties for KIA, because that's what the average person is going to interpret casualties as, and in that case you can use the smaller KIA number instead of the larger KIA/Wounded/Captured/Missing figure. The officers bit was obviously a mistake, unless it's very easy to climb rank in Ukraine.

Bad poo poo certainly went down at Bucha but I had a good laugh at "that was where they sent the meanest, cruelest psychopaths, the kind of people who love to murder......not me though, clerical error." And that he didnt see anything but he did see an officer chasing a guy around while yelling "Stop! He did a rape! Thats a rapist! He raped on my watch and oh boy am I going to give him a kick in the rear end!" Real post-soviet grifter levels of anecdotes

Al-Saqr posted:trying to attack Lviv would be a military blunder thats even bigger than ever other military blunder russias had up to this point, theres 0% chance it would succeed especially at this point of the war. Believe the point is that they're allegedly keeping military-aged males in Lviv (to be conscripted), rather than to be setting up a defense against Russia in Lviv

Even with the rosiest numbers Finland + Sweden would make up a smaller budget, smaller army, in a less important geopolitical location; Finland and Sweden's entire ocean-facing border is consumed by Norway, who is already a NATO member, while Turkey overseas the length of the Black Sea and shadows Syrian ports. There's no benefit to swapping Turkey for Swedland were that even possible, besides a more confident paper bag rating.

Someone asked for a post stressing how much Tim Snyder sucks, in the absence of a better one heres mine from last thread:Neurolimal posted:Most of the GBS thread hatereads this one, so its worth briefly touching on why Snyder is a grotesque hack, who is only tolerated because his 'research' was beneficial to EEuropean nationalists post-USSR. First I'd recommend Israeli historian Omer Bartov's review, of which you can read a sample of here, for a critique from someone who is stern on the USSR (but not rabidly aggressive) and boasts a respectable pedigree. If you do desire a more aggressively anti-communist critique, you could look into British historian Richard J. Evans' review of the book, who manages to quote fascist enabler Anne Applebaum's work while still calling out Snyder's ham-handed attempt to equivocate the Holocaust & Holodomor as equal racial purges. Esteemed American philosopher Thomas Kuhn's Great Men and Large Numbers: Undertheorising a History of Mass Killing not only equates Snyder's """"work"""" to the earliest iterations of Double Genocide Theory, but also critiques the pulp as lacking the local nuance that was vital to the execution of the Holocaust & the incompetence of the Holodomor. Israeli-German historian Dan Diner's Topography of Interpretation: Reviewing Timothy Snyder's Bloodlands derides the book as presenting it as a polono-centric reimagining of the war & its associated events.

Tafferling posted:Also, fascists in Ukraine, meh, there are no more or less than in every other nation on earth. If anything the scary fascist Azov batallion has been disbanded albeit after getting elevated to heroic status after Mariupol(guess whose fault it is?) while Russian fascists are still merrily warcriming and hammering its own soldiers heads in. Welcome to the thread! I'd like you to answer some questions, if you would be so kind. 1. What was the public opinion in Ukraine wrt Russia and Yanukovych, prior to the 2014 color revolution? What caused Yanukovych to step down? 2. What happened when Zelensky confronted neonazis shelling the DPR? Did the president of Ukraine stop them? 3. Have there been any race or genocide-related controversies with regards to Ukrainian politicians serving abroad e.g ambassadors, foreign ministers? 4. What will happen if Ukraine gets control of DPR territory, and the people there do not want to be Ukrainian? 5. Do you believe in the idea of a moral army?

Since we're back on the value of superplanes, might be worth dredging this up: https://twitter.com/witte_sergei/status/1536808901357625344?s=20 To get it out of the way: the poster is of a weird branch of tsarism that really likes the weird compromise dude that everyone else made fun of. He's pro-Russia, but like most tsarists anti-USSR. Thread basically goes into how the USSR and Nazi Germany had completely different mechanized ideologies; the Soviets calculated early on that tanks do not survive for long on the battlefield, and the likelihood of them seeing repeat battles was low. Because of this, they standardized tank production to three models, with single factories capable of producing nearly the entirety of a tank, with minimal luxuries or craftsmanship details. They existed to be giant guns that you rolled into a fight, and to do so as cheaply as possible without compromising that role. The Third Reich, however, had an obsession with artisanal superweapons; why have a hundred tanks when you can have a mega tank? Why have an artillery farm when you can have a single absurd artillery cannon that doubles as a train? Why have cheap guns that merely fire, when you can have personally milled symbols of the regime that fire...with style. Intricate metal boxes that would be ferried around several factories and take an eternity to build. A part of this was the bizarre libertarian structure of the party where wunderkids would compete for Hitler's attention on their projects, but I'm sure German pride in their engineering factored in as well. The result, as we all know, proved the merit of the Soviet approach; a Russian tank went into battle, it ended up inoperable, a German tank went into battle, it ended up inoperable. One of these were in greater supply and were easier to repair. It didnt matter if the german tank had thicker armor or fired farther or whatever metric ww2 LARPers like to bring up. Flash-forward to today; on the Russian side their victories are being fueled by cheap and reliable tanks capable of performing their jobs, while the enigmatic modern tanks are either hidden away or underperform in the face of their hype. On the Ukrainian side a million firearms paired with a thousand types of tank loiter the place, either irreparable or in too short a supply to matter, while the Ukrainians ask for the next superweapon that will turn the tide of battle. All this is to say, I don't think it matters at all which country can produce slightly more hangar queens. Especially as this war has shown how vulnerable planes ultimately become.

I also wanted to dredge this up because in one of the few visits to the GBS thread they were on a spiel about how the soviets had uncomfortable tanks because they Hated human life, which is some real Enemy At The Gates bullshit.
