International Russia/Ukraine Megathread V13

@LeonardoBjj
Why is it that big muscular guys always fail the first week of Ranger, Special Forces, and SEAL training here in the US?
Lack of motivation and mental toughness. All 3 schools are 75% mental and 25% physical.

Mike Tyson: "I was very fortunate to have Cus D'amato teaching me and molding me. One of the most powerful things he said was: "Boxing is 75% mental and only 25% physical. People think it is the other way around."

- They fail fireman training here too. The truth is that you remove the juice, and your body is working with bellow baseline production, so motivation is gonne also, recovery. Strenght stays for more time after suspending the use, but is uselles without the mental aspect. Is easy for a tough guy to get jacked if he wants, they just sell muscle on a counter.

I know i would fail too.

 

[LeonardoBjj]

I mean that article you linked is Seals so maybe they’re a little different I really couldn’t say.

Also when I say jacked I mean like old school UFC style jacked, not strongman jacked. To be clear not all of them are that way, but I would say maybe half the ones I’ve met were.

-The guys in frontline are living on rations, barelly any food or sleep. So the muscle mass reducess.

I mean you're obviously a person subverted by Russian propaganda, lmao

For example Orban is advocating to stop assistance with letal aid in order to end war.

If this will happen today, almost all ukrainians will relocate to EU.
Cos Putin wants all ukraine and in reality United Russia wants in the end of game ALL Ukraine sooner or later but ....without ukrainians.
And ofc ukrainians are more interested to get normal benefits in EU rather than to walk into filtration camps and torture chambers.
Orban didn't had offered that Hungary immediately will accept all refugess we already have.

He should be ready that number of refugees in Hungary might be higher than number of hungarians in Hungary if we will stop to deliver Ukraine lethal aid.
It is reality.

You expect me to click a rumble link? lmao

Use your own words loser (except you can't because you're entirely subverted by propaganda and you need other people to do your thinking)

Doesn't change the fact that you're entirely subverted by it does it?

@ColemanwastheGOAT lmao

Have you followed up on your boy Gideon Rose recently? (Someone I'm sure you never heard of until someone linked you a clip and you're easily influenced)

i have a feeling all of Putin's opponents will end up dead

Ya it’s weird how they all seem to perish or get sick. He prob knows he’s a dead man walking anyhow or will spend some serious time in the can and has nothing to lose.

If communist party will not protect him, he soon will have health problems.
While communist party isn't on paper so powerful like United Russia, they does have support in some russian nationalists circles and these are ....in all institutions and political parties.
Therefore their impact isn't so low.

 

[SandisLL]

From upper level persons in russia Shoigu isn't nationalist, Patrushev and Medvedev are nationalists, Gerasimov and russian PM are nationalists....

I can imagine after he made that announcement he must wonder what is in every bite of food he eats or drinks.

I guess we'll know in a month or so.

I think in 2 weeks or less it will become apparent that Russian fortifications, like most Russian superweapons are just propaganda.

Ukrainians are having trouble with minefields and pre-fixed position artillery, not trenches both have been dealt with for the most part and i don't think Russians have the time to prepare new minefields.

I think you’re probably underestimating the Russian army’s ability to dig trenches and set minefields with artillery support - they are a defensive army in nature after all, and have had months to prepare.

Whether they have the manpower and ammunition to utilize the defences seems to be the question

 

[SandisLL]

Prigozin never was Nazi, he is all about money.
He negotiated with Utkin to create Wagner group and Utkin yeah is Nazi + he had hired as wagner officers bunch with Nazis ( guys who turned too " hot " for official rus military or OMOH )...
Later started to hire guys who had military experience, good shape AND financial problems... like gambling debts etc....

Initially wagner were secretive and didn't conducted open recruiting process.
They used agents, guys who knew in their area potentially suitable persons and talked with them some probe talk... then if probe was positive, talked again.
They tested these candidates in shooting range etc and if were statisfied, offered gig.
,& Ukraine war changed wagner till Prigozin openly told that he is wagner " boss " , started massive advertisement campaigns and open hiring processes.
Later they started to recruit in prisons....

Not necessarily doubting you, its just I've been wrong (as have many others) about many things about this war, so I'm really just all out of predications. We'll see in October when the mud starts if you were right.

If you go to any hard labor place you will rarely see muscular guys for the same reason, bigger muscles = less stamina.

They doesn't have time...
While they does have special missiles models for Grad 122 mm and Uragan 220 mm MRLS systems specially designed and produced to be used for distance minelaying to dispress anti perssonel and anti tank mines. I had posted about this stuff and mentioned some missiles and mines models.

No really understimating that ability, but the coordination and willingness to do what's needed on time while Ukrainians are currently on the offensive.

Maybe that will happen in other directions but the Tokmak direction i don't see that happening, it took months to build the current minefields, but somehow Russians will be able to do so while on the backfoot? doubtful.

- They fail fireman training here too. The truth is that you remove the juice, and your body is working with bellow baseline production, so motivation is gonne also, recovery. Strenght stays for more time after suspending the use, but is uselles without the mental aspect. Is easy for a tough guy to get jacked if he wants, they just sell muscle on a counter.

I know i would fail too.

We have problems to recruit firemans because job is dangerous.
Usually they get injured if something falls on them or contructions under guy collapse ....
For fire we have enough protection etc...death cases and GBH type stuff isn't rarity exactly cos constructions etc collapsing.
