Anarchism forecloses on the possibility of change by
nullifying the potential to build political power and take
control. This is why it's so beloved of breadtubers
regurgitating state department talking points.

"If you've been following real expert Russia analysis then
you'd know that experts have been forecasting a showdown
over NATO expansionism for many years. If you follow
imperial spinmeisters then you think it's just Putin being a
monster because he's evil and hates freedom."

I think its extremely difficult to argue he isn't a complete
psychopath, that polonium tea poisoning is one of the most
sadistic murders I can imagine, he wanted that guy to suffer
horrendously. He is an utterly ruthless psychopath, he fist
the definition perfectly, I'm no foreign policy expert but
if he isn't I really really don't know who is

I know most of this, I've watched that full length lecture
with that guy a while back. I was of the same opinion of
this woman until fairly recently when I realised even if
NATO expanded the buck stops with Putin deciding to invade
or not, you can do something he doesn't approve of by
ultimately its him who is war mongering isn't it

I don't think you can acquiesce to people like Putin, I mean
Ukraine isn't even in NATO and he has invaded, so this NATO
Expansion red herring is a moot point in my eyes. If NATO
didn't exist he would do this. Anyway this is just my
opinion

i like the way this discussion reflects on different angles.
it helps to talk about it with people who fall onto
propaganda, for example folks who fanatically believe t.v.
is 100% lies. i find it reassuring that there is no tabus,
yet my estmation of the situation matches in general. its a
bit like a political talkshow trying to put light on a
topic. but instead of accusations and local politics power
struggles its more about theory and getting the facts right.

He's like a professor or something in Israel of military

interestingly enough all aspects i could think of have been
shown.
the question whether or not the nato is to blame (or
partially to blame).
what the military and other options are. that germany would
rather have the swift exclusion as a last resort if russia
cuts our gas and coal, which if im correct were even
existent during the cold war. sadly for the ukraine i feel
germany doesnt have many options, because cutting us off
would hit us, the rest of europe and the russian people more
than putin. and we dont have any military apparel to expel.
for now all we can go with is cutting off russian banks and
tech trade and a few other things directed towards putin and
hope that the russian public acceptance of this war further
decreases.
feels really shit to turn up the radiator now i must say
though,
but id gladly agree to energy cuts if it were to help or
possible.

most western countries spent their military budget
(billions) on the F35 stealth jet. this jet can't actually
do stealth, is a lug to turn in combat, and is basically a
piece of shit plane that wouldnt last in a dogfight. it's
not agile enough. the western governments are literally
putting profit for military companies above our defence
capability

what the nutty historians recommend is a plane called the
a10

LAZY_TITLE

i think they cost about £100,000 for each plane, the plane
is heavily armoured and has a giant cannon for blowing away
enemy troops on the ground. i think it can take off
vertically but im not sure, havent looked into this stuff
for a while. it's like a flying tank, the purpose of it is
to backup troops on the ground, let them see over hills and
mountains and give your own light infantry ground support.

portable anti tank weapons would be good, also rpgs and
machine guns, snipers rifles, and many many bicycles for
every citizen.

i dont know much about drone warfare...

The Fairchild Republic A-10 Thunderbolt II is a single-seat,
twin-turbofan, straight-wing, subsonic attack aircraft
developed by Fairchild-Republic for the United States Air
Force (USAF). In service since 1976, it is named for the
Republic P-47 Thunderbolt, a World War II-era fighter-bomber
effective at attacking ground targets, but commonly referred
to as the "Warthog" or "Hog".[4] The A-10 was designed to
provide close air support (CAS) to friendly ground troops by
attacking armored vehicles, tanks, and other enemy ground
forces; it is the only production-built aircraft designed
solely for CAS to have served with the U.S. Air Force. Its
secondary mission is to direct other aircraft in attacks on
ground targets, a role called forward air
controller-airborne; aircraft used primarily in this role
are designated OA-10.

The A-10 was intended to improve on the performance and
firepower of the Douglas A-1 Skyraider. Its airframe was
designed for durability, with measures such as 1,200 pounds
(540 kg) of titanium armor to protect the cockpit and
aircraft systems, enabling it to absorb damage and continue
flying. Its ability to take off and land from relatively
short runways permits operation from airstrips close to the
front lines, and its simple design enables maintenance with
minimal facilities.

The A-10 served in the First Gulf War (Operation Desert
Storm), the American–led intervention against Iraq's
invasion of Kuwait, where the aircraft distinguished itself.
The A-10 also participated in other conflicts such as in
Grenada, the Balkans, Afghanistan, Iraq, and against the
Islamic State in the Middle East.

The A-10A single-seat variant was the only version produced,
though one pre-production airframe was modified into the
YA-10B twin-seat prototype to test an all-weather
night-capable version. In 2005, a program was started to
upgrade the remaining A-10A aircraft to the A-10C
configuration, with modern avionics for use with precision
weaponry.

The U.S. Air Force had stated the Lockheed Martin F-35
Lightning II would replace the A-10 as it entered service,
but this remains highly contentious within the USAF and in
political circles. With a variety of upgrades and wing
replacements, the A-10's service life can be extended to
2040; the service has no planned retirement date as of June
2017.

A10 is a fantastic plane! they can fly back with a half a
wing missing, and they have a armoured bathtub around the
pilot made of titanium, great for killing tanks!

if only we had just melted all this into the ground when we

also, arent guns useless when nukes are still around?
ukraine certainly could use all military apparel now and
they have the second largest army in europe, but i feel once
the nato border would be reached its all or nothing.

actually i wasnt thinking of supplying them to ukraine
i think we should be buying them for the uk
and bicycles for all people who live here

the government in uk and europe should legalise the same
weapons they have in america, ar 15?

we're not really prepared for war.

boris is an asshole,im not really a fan of the government or
opposition but we'll miss them if putin somehow kills them
all.

i admire the bravery of those ukrainians who died on that
little island, but then it was pretty dumb to leave them
there to die for nothing without any anti-ship or anti-air
weapons.

the level of strategy going on is pathetic. what happened in
syria from the government during the recent civil war there
was the state army's useless generals and leaders got killed
early on, then the battle hardened fighters became the new
generals and leaders for syria's side. i can see that
happening in the uk. our leadership will crumble then people
more suited to war fighting will step up.

8 years Ukraine has been shelling Donbass with NATO support
and barely a peep from our mainstream media. 14,000 dead
including 100 children.

Ukraine's previous President, Poroshenko, and his policy on
Donbass: "We will have jobs—they will not. We will have
pensions—they will not. [....] Our children will go to
schools and kindergartens—theirs will hide in the
basements (cellars)."

i heard someone talking abut the minsk agreement yesterday
in german tv and i agree that the conflict hadnt gotten
enough attention before the russian´s military attack.
doesnt change much imo as i also still believe that its not
the fault of the west/nato. not even negliglently. it
remains the wrong decision to attack a country and putin
willingly broke a number of agreements for example to leave
them be after 1991 when ukraine gave up all their atomic
arsenal in exchange and the reason putin gives for his
attacks are just ridiculous, while we argue what we did
wrong. it feels like a woman defending her wife beater
husband. however im willing to be fair and listen to all
arguments.

ah, cmon. stop supporting this crap, by undermining
ukraine's right as a country to be sovereign

putin is not even interested in ukraine, he has great fun
destabilising a country of 40 mio. people. make the lives of
40 mio. people miserable is no excuse for anything

he played his hinterfotzige scheisse for much too long. and
it didn't even work out. so he made this war plan. I bet he
worked at least 5 years on it

and he had least 20 years to find a better way to deal with
his concerns in a much better way and especially do good in
his own country

most fighters right now are young russian cannon fodder.
next line of fighters will be sent by kadyrow. he will take
on small step after another

this will go on for the next years, if the russians
themselves won't do anything about it

the full declaration of war speech from putin. fighting over
who started it at this point is dumb. we need to get ready
because the russian bear is furious right now.

if you read the chapter 6 (last chapter) of the rise and
decline of the state by martin van creveld you will see what
replaces our governments and states is stateless areas of
disorder.

biden wont be there in 5 years time, he'll be dead or in
hiding like saddam. civil wars all over the place.

what we need to do is unite all states vs stateless
disorder, otherwise the chaos will get out of hand.
