We seldom find ourselves in the firing line, yet we do comment on the events that happen around the World.And my objection is that this is an attitude that is easy to take when you're not in the firing line. — Baden

I expect he'll end up getting more than what he asked for before the war. And a real danger is the longer it goes on, the more he may demand. — Baden
If some Ukrainians (they are not, as I keep having to repeat, some kind of homogenised entity, they are 40 million diverse people), if some Ukrainians ask for help in the form of military aid, then our governments (and us in our role as their mandate) have to decide whether it is in the best interests of humanity at large to give such aid. It is totally up to us to decide what's best for them, that's the nature of the power relationship. We have the weapons they need, so we must decide whether what they're asking for is in their (and other people's) best interests. — Isaac
Your narcissism surpasses your contributions as a subject of interest by some margin. — Isaac

the idea that anyone will win is propaganda. Everyone will lose on both sides, because that's what a war of attrition is, the last man standing takes possession of the smoking ruins. — unenlightened

As long as the Russian army is fighting in Ukraine, there are few Russian soldiers on our border and near my summerplace (which is on the border). :smile: — ssu
Don't underestimate yourself. Just in comparison, would you have thought Western people would fold so quickly in line with covid lock downs? Also, now it might look that West Europe is bound to have the energy ties to Russia. In one year it can be different. — ssu

@Vegan Zombie They are human same as you and I, they (soldiers) had a choice to fight for a cause. We humans strive to become more than what we are, we try to have a good society, and blood is a price, sadly. War is something almost nobody wants but through history it(war) is needed.

Stopped everything I was doing when I found this vid to watch. This is the most RAW and some of the most intense war footage I’ve ever seen. Nothings not shown. from intense ass firefights to just smacking that basketball around and managing to still find some fun things to do. This is probably the most underrated youtube video i’ve come across in a very long time. Thank you and everyone else for your service, even with the film can’t imagine what you all went through. not even sure how y’all sit down with balls that fkn big

Just goes to show how ridiculous it is in video games when nothing jams or malfunctions, you don’t need to worry about timing and headspace on the 50, you can flick the Gustav open with two fingers, the AT4 slides apart like it just came off the production line… thank you and everyone else in these clips for your service. Many feel obligated to share their opinions these days but few could ever do what y’all do — youtube badass

I can just imagine the phone call to Donald Trump asking if they have clearance to use the Moab. I bet you it was Trump's idea he was probably like okay these a-holds are dug in can we drop a nuke no can't do that okay what's the next best thing oh the Moab that's right and then in his Trump famous voice he says do it just do it, do it.

That's funny the guy took some shrapnel in the butt lol. — Jack
That's the attitude that Putin is basing his ideas on using nukes to "escalate-to-de-escalate".I will welcome Russian tanks in my street if it avoids a nuclear war. Nothing, absolutely nothing, is worth a strategic nuclear escalation. Freedom be damned. I prefer to live and find the relative freedom possible even in the most autocratic regimes. — Benkei
No. It's not their only option. How about starting with a) oil & gas embargo, b) migration crisis, c) naval blockade, d) whatever else. Having a panic attack like some about nukes in truth is the last option.... yeah ... true, but that just means Russia's only option to deal make their point of Finland not joining NATO is with nuclear weapons. — boethius
Finland is closer to war than it has been for a long time. But it's not so close as in the mid 1930's at all. It's still just your average political crisis. That's not a reason to hyperventilate, but to think calmly about the situation.I don't feel all that safer about the fact Russian soldiers are tied up in Ukraine and NATO is escalating tensions ... with the explicit goal to bleed the Russians and collapse the Russian state, which Russia has said it would use Nuclear weapons in that exact scenario NATO desires. — boethius
But does @Benkei feel the same way?If he uses nukes his presidency is over. I'm sure he realizes that. — frank
