True but funny they are letting their mind run wild. Fun side note that is like a hundred plus million of tanks just in the clip funny.

It's a good idea for everyone to get ready in case. I think the UK and US will be the first to get hit though. Canada getting their ducks in a row if that's what it was isn't a terrible idea.

It's a reference to Russia not caring about their troops.......

It's why I agreed with this

It's also why I said this

Seems the biggest difference is America value's it's troops lives more than civilians of whomever they've invaded. At the start of this invasion seems the Russians were far more willing to risk its troops lives when dealing with the civilians.


Conviently you leave that second part out every time.......

Considering you said



Looks like we agree. So.. mind sourcing me these projections?

See, now you conveniently omit all the other quotes I just listed. Also, the comparative operator is still key "value's its troops lives more than civilians of whomever they've invaded." It's initiating a comparison, whether you want to frame that comparison as "Russia values Ukrainian civilians more than Russian troops" or "US values Ukrainian civilians less than American troops (by extension, more than Russia values Russian troops)", it still does the same operative work.

So whether you frame it as Russians caring little about their own troops relative to civilians or a lot about civilians relative to their own troops, you're drawing a comparison. And I'm arguing that comparison is flawed. You continually beg for projections when it's obvious that this right here is the whole debate. You believe the Russians care more about civilians than Americans. Thus, you assert that they've been using "kid gloves" or that the casualties are low. I argue that you do not know that the casualties will be lower at the end of the invasion than the US, who allegedly doesn't use "kid gloves" and cares less about civilians. You need to prove that statement. I don't need to come up with projections that the casualties will be similar, equal, or greater. The dispute is around your characterization of the Russian army as caring about civilians more than the American army. You have still not proven that.

Toronto Canada got a scare where huge number of tanks traveling over a bridge for what Canada said moving for a training exercise. But during this time people were shocked. The official statement was training but people think something bad.

I would call him an ex friend being I haven't seen him in 20 years and only stay in contact on Facebook but he brought this up. And it's really sad. She worked at his company.

Much-loved mother, son, 18, and daughter, nine, who were all wiped out by Putin’s bombs as they tried to flee city of Irpin during sham ‘ceasefire’ in photo that sickened the world
  • Tatyana Perebeynos killed alongside her two children during shelling in Irpin
  • Russian shelling rained down on the fleeing family despite promise of ceasefire
  • Deaths sent shockwaves across globe as pictures showed bloodstained bodies
  • Ms Perebeynos had been a high-ranking accountant who was holidaying with work colleagues in the mountains of Georgia just days before war broke out

The Javelin is taking over what the Stinger missile did to Russian helicopters back during Russian War with Afghanistan to Russian tanks. It also answers all the dumb Russian tanks are superior to US made because they are smaller an lighter less chance of getting bogged down in the mud talk. Seems like all tanks in the higher gross tonnage range have the same problems as well as tire dry rot on their troop transports. Seriously Russia getting exposed by their lack of understanding of the terrain they are fighting.

Lol good lord.... this will be my last response to you because this is ridiculous.

I don't believe the Russians care more about civilians. I believe they are more willing to risk their soldiers.

At the start ( like I actually said ) they were using kid gloves... you agreed... whatever the reason.. ( I didn't give one, you did )

Your statements of me saying I meant America doesn't care as much as Russia is laughable.. if I wanted to say that... I would have..

I don't have to proove the Russians are more caring because I never claimed that.......

I don't have to proove anything bud. I know what I meant when I typed it. If it wasn't clear my bad.

its troops lives more than civilians of whomever they've invaded." It's initiating a comparison,

Yes. It's troops more than civilians... the comparison is right there... it's not code for Russia.. otherwise I would have said America cares less for civilians than Russia.

Anyhow all the best bud

And then, suddenly, I remembered an interesting situation with some downed Boeing, blamed on Donbass separatists several years ago…

Well actually it is beeing blamed on Russian army officers in charge of the BUK that shot the civilian plane down.
I remember Russia releasing a (photoshopped) "satelite image' of a Ukrainian SU-25 flying towards it in a desperate attempt to prove their innocence

I have seen less than a handful of weapons held/previously held by russian that has optics.
I remember one retard who said that they'd be issued optics in war when I asked why do you hardly ever see them with optics.

Plenty of people opposed the war in Iraq in the UK. There were big protests about it. The more people are like you though, the more you can imagine it happening to you, and this is Europe ffs, the cradle of western civilization.

It would be weird if it were not so would it not?

These were stingers with seekers developed in 1978 th.
Now even 2010 th production is oboslete and US produces more modern stuff than this was in 2010 th.:)
 
Ukrainian General had secured talks with US and European military leaders over choke points where Russia was setting up forward operational bases to launch strikes, medical and resupply missions to Ukraine capital leading many to believe Russia getting ready to move into Kiev by encircling the area in at least 3 points. It also sounds like Ukrainian General is convinced this will happen very soon and he has at his disposal thousands of trained fighters at the ready and equipped. It could be entering the bloodiest fighting yet seen according to reports scary stuff. This may explain Ukrainian President Zelenskyy being photographed outside for the first time in what seems many days possibly ahead of a major move by Russia towards the capital.
