It's the whole reason he's catching blowback here.... Comon - just go back a page or two (or go into the Elon musk thread).
I have seen his tweets, but I have not seen him supporting russia. I don't know what you are talking about frankly.

Largest Czech TV channel now goes ALL IN on the joke and and does a weather report with map of Russian Kaliningrad "annexed" to the Czech Republic
Královec rightful Czech land.

There is tons of companies going on Social media with this meme. I also like that some people from Kaliningrad saying that they are ready for their Czech citizenship : D

They laughed, but the BeerStream 1 will be built and it will be big and beautiful! No longer the citizens of Kaliningrad will have to toil day after day just to come home to a sad bottle of vodka, soon they will be able to wash away their daily sweat with the most glorious of potables: Czech Beer!

Nice guess... Unfortunately the orc guessed wrong.. (shot dead orc, etc etc, may be troubling to some)



Adding a Nitter link, some folks prefer that.



Said this before, but the only thing I find truly disturbing about videos like this is how closely real war footage now resembles an FPS, thanks to camera advancements and video games technology. Squint hard, and that shit could pass for CoD.

Wow, what a surreal world we live in I can just sit here at my desk eating leftover lasagna and casually watch a real person get absolutely blown away in combat happening on the other side of the globe.

Edit - I don't mean that as sympathy for Russia or anything. It's just odd lol. I can take a break from work and go "click, click, click lets watch some fuckers die in almost real time"
I went through this during the Iraq/Afghan wars, YouTube and other sites that shall not be named were still in their infancy.

However with the advent of go-pros and smart phones, The amount of raw combat footage we get daily from world conflicts is staggering.

It truly is a interesting time to be alive.

There's been loads of chatter on different telegram channels about how Ukraine is gathering a ton of equipment for a new counteroffensive in Zaporizhzhia oblast. Russia likely has their hand fulls with Kherson and the Northern front so they probably have a minimal number of forces down there. I think its only a matter of time before we see them get routed on yet another axis.

In Ukraine, your supply chain is in front of you.

Something unusual is going on, live in Delmarva. A lot of Military Air activity that's out of the norm. Anyone know what's going on?

I'm not sure if it has to do with the Russian Ukraine situation, but rumor has it they are looking for something near Norfolk.

Dunno... Don't think so. Delmarva is a cool part of the country though.

I feel like Pablo.waiting.gif for the next Ukrainian advance. We've been spoiled this past month with the 2 huge pushes in the NE and now the big southern push.

Unfortunately Ukraine properly took more than they expected and will have to completely clear out their new areas to make them safe. Plus build new logistics closer to the advanced frontline. There's probably also the welcome headache of removing all captured Russian equipment and vehicles to repair, salvage or scrap.

Very interested to see if they can take Svatove in Luhansk and the Dam in Kherson before winter. A push towards Melitopol would be welcome also. Hopefully they don't take more then a week more to consolidate. We want more!

This is the same mindless terror driving much of the anti Ukraine commentary in this thread.




Because wanting the war to stop with Putin gaining anything really is anti Ukraine.

It’s intellectual cowardice of the highest order. Pretend you support something, but not enough to take an actual stand on a complicated issue. It’s like saying you’re “pro-life with exceptions”.

Not a fan of WW3? Neither am I. Doesn’t mean shit though, Russia’s still inside Ukraine’s borders and citizens are still being actively brutalized. Giving Russia everything they want as a “peace solution” incentivizes them to continue their behavior yet again, and kicks the can down the road. A non-solution.

Maybe he could start another poll. DAE h8 war????

There’s more worrying implications. If the west backs offs to nuclear threats he’s next going to test the waters of NATO using the same threats, probably by invading a Baltic State.

And at that point if whoever is president in America decides it’s not worth the risk, that’s the end of NATO.

The dude just needs to shut up. The more he talks about the situation the more he shows he has NO fucking idea what he is talking about.

His appeasement policy was more about giving Britain time to re-arm than it was about giving in to Hitler...He knew war was inevitable but he also knew Britain wasn't ready for it in 1938.
True, but it showed weakness that Hitler exploited. If England, France, and the rest had presented a united front and they all said "No. We will not allow this. If you try it there will be war." If the that gauntlet had been thrown instead of meek appeasement and disunity then Hitler might have thought twice. Or at the very least delayed his plans. It's why he allowed things to continue at blistering pace. He knew they were not ready and that they were not unified enough to stop him. Chamberlain caving in and showing weakness confirmed all the suspicions that Hitler had over the strength and unity (or lack thereof) of the West. It was the signal to him that it was rather now when they were unprepared instead of later when they might be.


I understand though. No one wanted war. Such a decision would have been entirely unpopular across the board even though it was necessary at the time. But how do you expect the common man and woman to understand that?

It's kinda obvious the way Musk has troubles getting words out of his mouth that he has a pretty good GPU for engineering paired with a shitty CPU simulating the human being.

It also gave time for Hitler to rearm. It also gave time for the USSR to rearm, and for Germany and Russia to strengthen their alliance, including hammering out the Molotov-Ribbentrop agreement.
But worse than that it prevented a coupe to be perpetrated by some member sf the Wehrmacht and Czech partisans.
Now mind you this coupe would occur before Hitler became as powerful in Germany, as he would later.
All that Chamberlain had to do, was to stand up to Hitler, make his plans fail, and have him lose the public support.
When Chamberlain conceded to Hitler, Hitler became a hero for the German people, and the Oster Conspiracy crumbled.

Like Hans Bernd Gisevius, said after the war:
"Peace for our time? Let us put it more realistically. Chamberlain saved Hitler.

I could reply in depth, but this thread isn't the place to replay WWII history from a 21st century safe space.

Back to Ukraine...

No one wants nukes thrown around nor another world war to happen. It's not a question though of should they/should they not or they should do this/not do this or do that instead or whatever someone else's thoughts/opinion on the matter is. This is simply a question on one country's freedom in the face of an oppression/genocide. Period. Should today if Ukraine decides to give in to Russia and stop the war, I will accept it. Should today Russia launch a nuke(s) and Ukraine decides giving Russia a double fuck you and continues on, I will accept it.

I'm thrilled that Ukraine hasn't accepted tyranny in the face of the odds and no matter the stakes. They are a brave and intelligent people right now and deserve to fight as long as the aggression is howling on their doorstep. They have every right to say fuck Russia's insincere "peace" because it is still as of right now Ukraine's fight and Russia's fault. The history and stories looking back will see it as such.

Musk should drop the texting, stat charts, and board meetings to go read a book, see a movie, or take a stroll down a historical war sight. Not everything in life is about business, progress/growth, getting what we desire, or avoiding what we fear. I suggest something like Braveheart for him or anything from WW2. The only difference now is everything is more modern but that's not a difference that matters. So yeah, anyone that thinks its "nuclear war" or whatever "FUD" that's the stake right now is a coward.

These are the same people that (would've) looked the other way when Hitler was doing his thing because they do not want war. Same goes for the elon fanboys in this thread talking to other people about "talking shit when living in their mother's basement", that are so cowardly they would throw a whole nation under the bus because of their own self gain.

Nobody except Hitler like figures (Putin) want war, but what are you going to do otherwise when a dictator acts like this? Give him what he wants because "you do not want war"?

Of course we cheer when Nazis get their comeuppance but I rather see them fuck off back home and clean house there instead.
