Total collapse of US/EU/NATO policy both military and economic, damage to European society may be irreparable

I guess your sons are too old to be drafted now?

[DannyTN]

Russia is out manned, out gunned, out missled and out nuked, and they know it.

Russia has lost almost 1000 tanks in this war already. They’ve do have a lot of artillery to assist in their indiscriminate murders of civilians. But it’s no match for western weapons.

[catnipman]

russkie trolls seem particularly attracted to posting on FR their crude and ridiculously unbelievable propaganda ...

ya’ll REALLY need to up your game on stuff that might POSSIBLY be true ... in the mean time, your nonsense is particularly enjoyable for a few laughs ...

[DannyTN]

Probably not. But my son is working on a doctorate in Physics. They wouldn’t put him on the front line. He would be assigned to advanced weapons research.

*Piss’n in the wind,

Bettn’ on a lose’n friend

Making the same mistakes , we swore we’d never make again

And we’re Piss’n in the wind, but it’s blowing on all our friends

We’re gonna sit and grin and tell our grandchildren*

The people willing to appease Russia are the batshit crazy or scared silly ones.

Now we know you favor communists

---

Nope I don’t favor communists. I favor a real democracy and a real democratically elected, law following government. The American government is not that. Parts of it are fascist, parts are communist, and parts are just like the mob. Like Putin’s government, the US government is illegal. And I am not going to cheer-lead for the folks who wrestled control away from the American people.

[kiryandil]

Welp.

THIS is going to make for an awkward September in Europe:

Heavy Norwegian gas maintenance adds to energy price pressure

OSLO (Reuters) – Norway, which has overtaken Russia as the biggest gas supplier to Europe in the wake of the war in Ukraine, will curtail its gas exports significantly next month [September 2022] due to heavy maintenance activity, with some work deferred from earlier this year.

As the Russian flows in Nordstream One go to zero...

“a full spread of hypersonic missiles”

There is VERY LITTLE defense against those...if any.

They claim they MIGHT be able to shoot them down in the middle of the light phase, or glide phase. And that is a big IF.

Launched off the eats coast the targets are toast.

+1 As long as former Vice President Biden (and that’s all he is) remains installed in the capital with the collusion of the deep state and big tech, we’re not the good guys. That may change in the years ahead if God hasn’t completely forsaken us. But presently, we have to face harsh realities: we have zero moral authority to dictate terms of conduct to other nations. Putin has a hundred times the legitimacy as a leader as Biden and with 80% approval among his people, he actually IS the will of the people. So anyone with a Putlerphobia really has a problem with Slavic people. But consider that the Slavs are one of the precious few peoples that are free of the Globohomo agenda. Don’t be so sure you want them defeated.

If history serves me correctly, the Russians are among the best at winter warfare. For those who have never enjoyed the experience of military maneuvers in very cold weather, let alone combat, it is the most physically and mentally exhausting experience known to man.

I will never forget a week in February 1979, at the German training range at Todendorf, for our Vulcan live fire training.

I have never been so cold in my life: northern winds from the Baltic Sea pushed the wind chill well below zero degrees Fahrenheit. Damn bullets were bouncing off the Baltic. We were using gasoline in our space heaters to stay warm, to no avail.

I never wanted to see that place ever again...then I was volunteered to be the XO for the summer season. LOL, that turned out to be one of the best summers of my life.

[kiryandil]

Our "government by coup" is preparing to jail a former President, because he threatens the vermin who seized power with a rigged "election".

We got Commies in DC running things.

[kiryandil]

LOL, that turned out to be one of the best summers of my life.

Summers in places that get really cold in the winter can be gorgeous.

[Antioch]

Russia has 30,000 tanks in long term storage. More than everything in America and Europe by a factor of 3.

[Flash Bazbeaux]

Ukraine is collapsing, and the prognosis is grim. Experts say Ukraine could continue to collapse for months, even years.

[entropy12]

Europeans may be lot of things but they are smart enough to be very afraid of Putin’s nukes.
Russia is spread over 12 time zones.
Europe is 7 times more densely populated than US.
A nuclear war will finish off Europe. Russians can just move to another time zone in Siberia

[entropy12]

But Zelensky will get NATO membership in absentia.
