Russia/Ukraine Megathread V6

[SanchoMF]

Have the Switchblades been seen in action yet? Really curious to see how the 300 will be used.

Poland was not even a country prior to WW1, the territory was partioned a hundred years prior between Prussia Kingdom.

Say what now? The kingdom of Poland was founded about a thousand years ago, but their identity as a people in that part of Europe precedes even that. Odd claim.

 

[brothir]

There is no sentiment against Ukraine as a nation or its people. But carry on

What a thing to claim. The attempts at erasure of Ukrainian identity are so obvious you're blind to miss them.

Germany had control of the territory, but yes Polish people existed for centuries. Either way there is no wish from Russia to erase Ukraine

Stugna-P rapid fire. Would be even better if the aiming device/laser designator would be separated from the actual launcher so that they could reload it right after firing instead of waiting for the in flight missile to hit its target.

Dont think so, have not seen any footage.

You should visit Europe more often, most Europeans hate Americans.

Your "flexible" comparison is unsubstantiated. There is no sentiment against Ukraine as a nation or its people. But carry on

I do hope you're being sarcastic with your "most Europeans hate Americans" comment. I've been treated with nothing but respect when I go over there and I've been in France (rumored to be harsh to some Americans) around 8 times over my life.

I'm a Black guy BTW.

With plutionium it is widely known since 1960 ies process.
There looks that implosion design is most technically challenging process for crude 1945 th type device.
With uranium enrichment: it is technically hard but widely known since early 1980 ies.
Simple cannon type design is really crude, however this needs considerably more HEU than implosion design.
Implosion design: again the same problems like with plutonium.
Simple cannon type with HEU sadly IRL is doable with skills like advanced car mechanic does have. No degree needed here.

No mate, either the gun-type or implosion assembly method are complicated for an atom bomb. Fission = Splitting (U-235 or Pu-239) Kiloton range. An advanced car mechanic cannot built this contraption. Let alone play with U-235.

A Hydrogen (thermonuclear) bomb would be even more complicated as it takes an atom bomb to start the process. Fusion = Bringing together. Megaton range. How the Pakistanis, of all people, managed to do this is truly amazing.

Erase? No. Subjugate? Absolutely.

Why would I be sarcastic? I'm talking as an European. Its naive to think US is a hegemony because people love America, its down to military presence after WWII, wealth generated and language influece/culture.

Chinese are more hated yet they are taking markets from US.

Peep is russian troll.
Kremlin's propaganda looks that loves to use some comfortable parts from history.

No one with brains care's about what think about history Peep or other Kremlin's trolls..

Russia never was a country, part of Russia belonged to Mongol Golden Orda!

History specialists from Russia.

Also, sorry, when Poland was united kingdoom, German countries didn't had sole united state. They were separate kingdooms.

Btw before this German kings and dukes were vassals under Pope : Germany was part of Papal state too.

There was even older period with some german tribes and their rulers...

In 1550 for example, Poland was kingdoom while Germany was not 1 single country but separate kingdooms. Well developed countries but not 1 single country.

Ohh, this cool history.

Yeah, phrases used by Peep are...with intent to dicredit countries and nations.


There was period in history when Belgium and Netherlands were under Spanish king.
Let's reintroduce again?

Let's go further: Brasil was under Portugal's king.
Argentina under Spanish king.

Let's go and maybe return Mexico and some part of US to King of Spain?

We are not talking about the UN Security Council. We are talking about UN membership.
Again: "The General Assembly can suspend a country from membership if it commits gross and systematic violations of human rights."

I get what you said but that article says that the Security Council (of which Russia is a member and has a veto right) has to first recommend that they be removed to the General Assembly. So I don't see how they can be removed if that's the case. And this article also states that.

Under Article 6 of the UN Charter, a member state can be expelled from the organisation if it has “persistently violated the Principles contained in the present Charter.”

But this would require the UN Security Council (UNSC) – the group’s top body – to recommend that a member state be removed, which would then be put to a vote to all 193 nations in the UN General Assembly (UNGA).

To date, no member state has ever been kicked out.

https://www.itv.com/news/2022-04-05/could-russia-be-kicked-out-of-the-united-nations

If this is true then it's pretty fucked up. The top 5 permanent members can commit atrocities and they can never be kicked out.

Also NOW to talk here is Russia or U.S more hated in europe, sorry, Russia's reputation now is most likely worse than North Korea's reputation.
North Korea at least isn't filling EU/EEZ with refugees.

Yeah, and they all want US help through NATO. They can go fight the Russians on their own. It is American blood and armament to defend Europe. Much like WWII, since Europe needs 'adult' supervision to get things done during war.

Dumbest and most desperate shit I've seen here today. Seriously, what kind of sorry ass loser would you have to be to come up with something like that?

Almost all the anti-american sentiment in europe is directed towards the government + politics and not the people; but we almost universally hate our own governments too (the French are the champions at this.)

I don't think I've ever met anyone who's had a problem with American people, they're generally well liked across the continent.

You sound triggered by common knowledge. But if it makes you happy: US is a superpower because we Europeans love America. Its the power of love
