Antigravitas posted:Improved interconnections are already planned: https://transport.ec.europa.eu/news...t-2022-07-27_en The US/NATO buying Ukrainian grain and then shipping it to Africa on the cheap seems like a good way to counter the influence game Russia is playing in the region. But of course it's not that simple.

Rappaport posted:Hitler blowing his brains out, Germany divided, and Japan getting nuked twice and surrendering before a peace treaty. And of course the Soviet block forming, and all that other stuff with the "little powers". Could you please clarify what you mean by this allegory? Is Putin's Russia Germany in this example? Japan? Yeah, basically marching on Belgorad should be kept on the table, but only as a last resort if Putin goes Maximum Hitler after the Russian military is fully shattered.

Tuna-Fish posted:Not even a little bit joking, precisely this happens a lot every time someone is rounding up undesirables. It's the reason there were so many innocents in US torture prisons in GWOT. It's the reason the purges in USSR spiraled so far out of control. The worst part is that the point someone starts collecting lists, people understand that it's a race to get the people you hate on the list before they do it to you. Salem witch trials too. Also I gotta tip my hat to OP's post/av combo.

Shifty Pony posted:Tanks are called tanks because the UK told nearly everyone involved that the large plates of steel and such they were fabricating were for large mobile drinking water tanks to supply soldiers near the front lines. Interesting, I believe the proto-tanks were called barrels? Also lol @ Time, truly The Internet Never Forgets.

Brain65 posted:More and more I think this stunt was all about money. Russian MoD probably didn't pay the group or withheld some payments because "it took you way too long to clear Bakhmut", subsequently wanted to force Wagner to fold into Army; Prigojin starts s#it to get paid, gets to 140km of Moskow with a full S300 in tow, money changes hands all of a sudden, mercenary group turns back and goes to Belorussia while their 'new recruits they got out of prison' go fight for Russia under new contracts (contracting out of prison being made legal today as well). Putin stays silent the whole day because he knows what motivates Prigojin ($$$) and sees this as a good opportunity to get the upper-hand on a bunch of generals and also see which other generals would betray him. I was hoping we'd get more of the https://youtu.be/dEbE3fGfF-o experience, but alas.

Herstory Begins Now posted:Not in the sense of it being particularly credible as a school of thought, no. there's still extremely a purpose for hard to destroy vehicles and if anything battlefields getting increasingly destructive and dangerous just makes protection more important. Wrt this conflict in particular, we're not actually seeing almost any of what the current upper end of tank survivability actually looks like. Until there's better data on how active protection systems actually fare I wouldn't base all tank doctrines on the performance of tanks in a conflict that is currently 95% Russian tanks. We're definitely seeing some value in tanks being at least tough enough to let the crew escape after they're blasted.

NHK World is reporting that the Ukrainian pilot known as 'Juice' was part of the *unit* Ghost of Kyiv. Just thought it was interesting seeing that name pop up on a public newscast.

Paladinus posted:I haven't watched the videos but I think I've been making a similar point here. Putin's ideology, if there is one, is more about being the real Europe or the real Western civilisation, of which America is the most prominent example, than whatever brand of Eurasianism some prefer to focus on. A lot of it is a simple aspiration to be specifically a great Western empire as envisioned by anti-imperialist propaganda. America did terrible things all over the world, therefore, to be great, Russia must do some terrible things or be left behind, etc. This is partly why far-right European parties and people like Tucker Carlson are such mainstays in popular political discourse in Russia. They are viewed as someone who represent that mythical 'real West' thing that Putin wants Russia to be. This is something I feel the multipolar world advocates are missing: it doesn't work if the other poles just want to do what the eeeeevil unipole was doing. Russia and China have imperial asperations of their own, and BRICS is not the SuperFriends.
