For the US at least, it's one of many consequences of the Citizens United ruling by the Supreme Court. Russia has spent quite a sum of money bankrolling susceptible individuals. There was always at least some level of foreign money influencing politicians in the past, but that ruling opened the floodgates. And boy has it bore rotten fruit.

Please show me a follow up video with a cluster munitions strike on that line, it would be glorious...

Also to note the UK press for a few days there kept harping on about having to conscript UK citizens if the UK government ever got involved in a war with the Russian cunts due to our smallish army and I had to laugh, Russia can barely contain Ukraine and it's hardened fighters and the press seems to think that if NATO got involved we'd need to conscript lol, sounded like Russian propaganda meant for the idiot masses with a similar cognitive ability of a Russian, fuck me the air superiority alone would decimate the front line, all of the EU countries would be flying in from all directions hitting them left right and center, it'd be a glorious bloodbath without any help from the yanks

It's a real possibility that the alt right movement kickstarted by bannon might have used Russian money. Before even Ukraine, they were on the same wavelength: fuck EU, fuck NATO, fuck China.

Perkele!

Yep, in less than 3 months, those damn beautiful finnish bastards gave such a raping to the Glorious Red Army of the Retardssians that they couldn't sign fast enough a treaty with them so they could turn their Berserker Blood Rage on the Nazis. After getting a taste of them, first the Russians then the Nazis couldn't get their ink on paper fast enough so they would stop grinding them into bloody paste. Not for anything it's called the Winter War, it was fought entirely within the 1939-1940 winter.

Now, they still go around in skis with rifles, only now they're high powered rifles. They train women and men alike, although only males are conscripted, women are voluntary conscription. 80% of the male population is trained and in reserve, with refreshing courses every few years. Willingnes to fight against Russians is at an all-time high of 83% women and men, meaning almost all the adult population of Finland would like to make them a new one, kids weren't asked but I bet you will find lots of little bloodthirsty bastard vikings and shield-maidens. They make the most Gucci AK anyone makes, a true and brutal beauty. Furthermore, they have the most modern and most quantity of artillery in Western Europe, check a few vids of Finnish artillery and rocket salvos if you wanna watch some war porn.

Yeah, nah. India poses literally zero military threat to NATO and the west. India's annual defence budget: 67 billion. NATO combined: 1.264 trillion.

I think the key thing here is people need to differentiate between political muscle and actual, proper military muscle. Yes, these countries can cause the west a lot of problems in certain small geographical areas, but if we talk about an actual scaled up military conflict, it's David and Goliath.

NATO's spending, readiness and might dwarves everybody else. This is why we don't see more large scale conflicts, or things like India and Pakistan turning into a proper hot conflict. Get past the headlines and social media bullshit and it's easy to see how scared everyone still is of the US and its allies.

what will happen when situation becomes critical at the front? and why biden needs to wait for that?, i know the discussions still on going, but at this point everything is clear where everything stands i bet this inpassing aid to ukraine not just political games, republicans are compromised by trump and trump by putin, so biden could use EDA authority and f**k republicans and border at the same time, but slow joe waits for things to get worse.

Ukrainian forces destroyed a Russian Su-34 fighter jet in the eastern Luhansk region. Andrijus Kovaliov, the representative of the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, said this on Ukrainian television, Ukrinform reported. According to him, the Russian Su-34 plane was shot down in the Luhansk region on January 29.

I would not judge spending with combat effectiveness that nonchalantly. Next I will be using the budget for Rings of Power to judge the success of the production… as if money waste were not to happen.

Again, India alone is not a territory you would be able to invade on land easily let alone keep, if Vietnam and Afghanistan are any indication (at a much smaller smaller scale), same thing in terms of blocking food production, industrial activity, etc… even carpet bombing the country which would leave you with a lot less ammunitions.
Yes, you could kill a lot of people and still not break the country. Again, I think we are grossly overestimating one side and underestimating the others.

Why are people talking about war with india of all places ffs, its a democratic country and only has beefs with its immediate neighbour, those big mountains in the north have kept it and china from ever embroiling in a proper war

What's the cost of F-16s to Turkey?

 

[CSJ]

if Vietnam and Afghanistan are any indication (at a much smaller smaller scale),

Two wars which were not symmetrical/conventional warfare, so there's no indication.
Go back to the Gulf War, where it was easily identifiable belligerants; though I'll concede there was a massive power imbalance in technology/doctrine/intelligence etc.

Vietnam and Afghanistan you were fighting an asymmetric fight with almost hidden enemies amongst civilians.
India has an air-force, a navy, military bases etc that are so much easier to spot and work against.

It's why Ukraine is what it is, the technology at use is almost even, with uniformed troops. They aren't fighting inside Kyiv wearing civvie clothing, it's out in battle lines.
It's why Israel bombs an entire building that might have Hamas inside, they know you can't fight guerilla warfare with conventional means and low collateral, as shit as it is to think about; they know they can't win soley with a ground force going room to room. They do a lot of it, but they also take a heavy handed approach to save their own.

Dayam, another Orc ship sunk by the country with no Navy

Was gonna post this right now.

Don't pass this folks, this is the best naval warfare footage since the Moskva sinking, and I would say it's much better since you see all attacks that reach target and then the aftermath.

Dayum, this is the most comprehensive and clean footage of how helpless the Russian Navy is, they literally RAPED that poor CORVETTE(not boat please lol, a corvette is orders of magnitude better and more important) through all sides, bodies on water, and then a true 'A Captain always sinks with his ship' moment.

Fantastic fucking job, lads. The Black Sea is yours, wreck any interlopers that dare to stay against that.
