Official Russia vs Ukraine War Thread

So you live in a country where you aren’t a citizen and never will be, can’t vote, don’t speak the language, aren’t accepted just tolerated, culturally isolated, treated with suspicious and contempt, discriminated against, stereotyped, limited in your moments, not free to go everywhere, etc.

Germany is sending tanks to Ukraine to expel Russians.

Ukraine-Russia war: Germany agrees to send 2 battalions of Leopard 2 tanks after heavy pressure

Germany has approved to send Ukraine up to two battalions of Leopard 2 tanks following weeks of stalled and frustrated negotiations as the war rages on.

This opens the door to other countries, including US, to send more tanks to Ukraine.

Currently, 500 Russian soldiers are being killed each day, not bad for “$300 a month.” 😀

Think about how much it saves Russia and Wagner to have all those soldiers dead, rather than on the payroll.

You must have responded to the wrong poster. I am none of the above things you mentioned.

I am white, male and an American citizen who speaks english.

It's time for all of Europe to go all in and back Ukraine 🇺🇦. Send tanks, guns, soldiers, etc before your grandchildren have to speak Russian.

Can't wait for Russian conscripts to be blown to kingdom-come by Western tanks.

Ouch, baby!

Ukrainians in western tanks basically makes them useless tanks.

They've shown themselves to have rather sharp learning curves on all the other weapons systems they've received. Been using it all quite effectively against the Russian invaders.

Another genius prediction from '5 days, tops'

Coming soon to a theater near you: more dead Russians, forced to fight for no reason.

RU is pursuing a full on Aleppo strategy in Bakhmut now. The images from Soledar are shocking. Every building has been destroyed. Nothing is left. RU is going to win Bakhmut simply by destroying it and everything around it. However, unlike Aleppo, which was largely an aerial bombing campaign and lobbing artillery from a very safe distance, RU is losing massive numbers of personnel and equipment in this campaign. RU has been rushing infantry reinforcements to Bakhmut as bodies have piled up. This may jeopardize RU's ability to launch their big spring offensive. Further it is not clear whether Lukashenko is willing to commit Belarussian forces to Putin's spring offensive. He has done a lot of saber rattling but has also had very high level talks with Ukraine on security assurances that UA won't try to strike RU forces in Belarus. Unlike Putin, Lukashenko is hated at home and was almost overthrown over a year ago. Entering the war would risk another revolution at home. And if that happened, the new government would surely want RU forces out of the country, which could possibly open a new conflict for Russia in Belarus.

The tanks from the West will be a big help, but the level to which RU is willing to send infantry to be slaughtered is yielding small gains for RU. Russia's willingness to make wholesale sacrifices of its conscripts is unlike anything seen since the battle of Leningrad. A new mobilization of 1.5 mil and a spring offensive by RU while the country is burning through foreign reserves could mean that this spring is a do or die event for RU.

We can add M1 tanks to the extensive list of things you know nothing about.

These tanks are nothing like fire and forget missile systems. It takes a lot of training to be able to use them. The fire control systems are computerized. If you don't know how to align the gun with the computer you'll never hit anything you shoot at it.

Plopping an amateur into a ferrari doesn't make them a proficient driver even if you give them a few weeks of training.

Max Boot wants Troops on the Ground

Kill em all and let God sort it out.

Max Boot is one of the dumbest people alive. His endorsement of anything should be all the information an intelligent person needs to oppose it.

AdultRoom just can't help telegraph his pro-Russian/anti-American desires and wishes.

Ukrainians will do fine with the tanks. Ukrainians that are already experienced with tank technologies and operations will undergo sophisticated training in the UK, Germany and Poland (and maybe even the US, on the hush-hush) on the M-1 Abrams, Leopard 2 and UK Challengers. They are going to kill A LOT of Russians later this spring and summer.

31 Abrams

28 Leopards (14 from Germany and 14 from Poland)

12 Challengers

Probably another 20 or so from other countries (France, Portugal, Netherlands)

That adds up to a lot of dead Russians (for a mere $300 a month). The average scumbag Russian bozo isn't even aware of what's coming down on them.

Still not clear why you bed wetting morons think being pro-Ukrainian makes you patriotic Americans.

It doesn't, but being a Putin fluffer does automatically make someone anti-American. It doesn't matter how many American flags you put on your truck and Twitter profile, or how many times you call yourself a patriot, it's impossible to support Putin and America at the same time.

That's because your misguided and extreme biases render you incapable of even formulating the issue correctly. The issue is why you think being pro-Russian doesn't make you an un-patriotic American. It clearly does.

Not giving a sh*t about Ukraine only means you "support Putin" to stupid people.

100,000+ Americans die every year from fentanyl pouring through our wide open southern border. Forgive me for thinking the $50+ billion we're wasting in Ukraine could be better spent to help actual Americans.
