Putin vs Ukraine.

[ZenOps]

China launches its first "mini" manless aircraft carrier. On the idea that it will be nuke fodder I guess. What does this have to do with Ukraine, probably nothing.

There is also an obvious question now that not many would dare ask.

Should North America be kicked out of NATO. Or maybe worded differently, is Europe worth saving? It would be a hell of a seperatist movement. Trump did not particularily like many NATO nations, more for the fact that most of them didn't contribute much in terms of raw dollars.

Lets not forget, Canadians are now militarily aligned with nations that arguably were the most savage in terms of raw hundreds of millions of deaths - ever.

Will Finland accept USA Black Soldiers with open arms, or send them to the front lines as meatshields? I'm going to safely say, hamburger hill.

Finland ain't joining.

2 reasons.

The only reason their borders are where they are is a treaty with Russia.

And second reason is Turkey, Croatia and Hungary hate those back stabbing fucks and won't let them join.

The US will lose control of Nato and that is why thebUS will dismantle it.

Can we lock them both into this thread and leave it out by the trash can for pickup?

America was built on slavery, confrontation and war.

But they have never take care of their own.

Expected result.

No baby formula either.

Well... To USA credit, war does tend to be far more profitable than slinging pizzas or making cheese.

That being said: Making cheese is still quite profitiable.

Hungary declares state of emergency. Putins eye seems to be fixed in that direction. A lot of Russians died behind the sheds in Hungary.

Can imagine taking in refugees by the millions is putting a strain on everything.

Shockingly honest look at how badly the war is going for Ukraine, from the Washington Post.

If Putin is using vacuum bombs, its absolutely devastating to enclosed air cities and people in buildings. They are tactical in that they tend to vaporize people, but leave most non-flammable structures intact.

Terrifying weapon, but only a slight upgrade to napalm - of which the USA used extensively in Vietnam (in open forest)

[ZenOps]

As for automated AI or remote controlled robots: Never felt it was "true" conquest. If you want to claim physical land in a war, at least one human must have set foot upon it.

If you simply go by robots, the first rover that planted a flag on the moon would have been adequate claim. And then it wouldn't be the USA.

Likewise, you can't just have a soldier fly over the area (like McCain over Vietnam) bomb the population to zero - and claim victory. At least one human has to have a foot on that soil for it to be victory. If Putin were to physically set foot in Kiev, I would consider that a undisputed victory for him and a loss for Ukraine.

Just a ramble as robots begin to take over the battles.

Is this was still going on?

[Shlade]

Well we're blaming all the inflation and gas prices on it. So.... I guess so....

Consume MSM news, wait for new news, consume new MSM news, rinse and repeat. It held attention for way longer then I thought it could.

We didn't give a shit after Crimea. We didn't give a shit after MH17. Why would we care now after getting out the popcorn for a month or so.

[ExtraSlow]

I'm actually surprised how little this has held the public and political interest of "the west". This is uncomfortably close to "real Europe" like Berlin or Vienna.
