Like yes sure, Russia is a very reactionary country but I wish the westerners good luck with trying to destroy Moscow the way it did Gaza.

Did these people forget the cold war?

This is not to say Hamas or the Houthis are weak ofcourse. Palestinians keep killing the IOF despite the JDAMs.

    I first remember Russia was out of ammo and Moscow was about to be invaded any second now.

    Then I was told the TB2 drones were going to end Russia.

    Then I was told it was their lack of numbers.

    Then I was told it was their lack of winter clothes (no, they really said that).

    Then I was told himars would absolutely end them.

    Then I was told no it’s the cluster ammo.

    Then I was told the Leopard would end then.

    Then it was the JDAM.

    Then the Abrams and challenger tanks.

    Dont forget the french CAESAR

    You can check. All of those were about to turn the tide in a major way.

    They’re fighting the most hardened, experienced and numerous army in Europe, a trained and well equipped military with what is effectively the second largest military budget on the planet. And they’re still gaining ground.

    Meanwhile israel is getting absolutely owned by random bakers wearing tactical flip flops and firing homemade RPGs. Who don’t have air, ground or naval support whatsoever.

    Just like Americans got owned twice in a row in the same region before.

    Liberals have no idea what an actual war is. All their countries have done is fighting colonial expeditions before being told by their history books it was an unquestionable win and the complete lack of achievement or victory was actually the entire point of it.

      I first remember Russia was out of ammo

      I remember when Russia was out of ammo and fuel, stranded in a 60km convoy outside Kyiv, and Ukraine scored exactly zero hits on the convoy

      If I remember right it actually did happen that the convoy ran dry on fuel for a few days and it should have been disastrous for them. The fact that they weren’t eaten alive by Ukranian Su-25s should’ve been the wakeup call for libs

          Excited for a wave of “How nuclear winter could be a climate crisis game changer” Op-Eds, as mushroom clouds spring up all over Europe.

            You’re too late. in a fit of (actual, literal) mania I wrote a white paper explaining how we can ground-detonate nukes in the Sahara to create a massive planet-cooling series of dust clouds. Sure, there will be some undesirable side effects, but tritium makes your bones strong.

        Pulling mothballed F-111s and F-4s out of the boneyard to ship them to ukkkraine by boat because they sure as shit can’t fly, and insisting that this marks a major turning point against the RuZZian uruks and that victory is imminent

        I still don’t understand the hype around F-16s. It’s an ancient platform and it’s not like Ukraine can maintain any form of air superiority long enough to deploy smart bombs…

          No, see, yes they can because the F-16 is just that good.

          You simply do not understand how much better our fighter jets are than Russian fighter jets. American air power could win instantly if we wanted it to. We’re just choosing not to deploy it.

      You forgot the classic: the Russians forgot to turn the tires of their trucks.

      Dude predicted all Russian trucks would break down in no more than 3 weeks because they all forgot to turn the tires based on a single “enhanced” photo.
