Well, I’m not a Catholic! Just a crusty ol’ Lutheran Missouri Synod with a streak of independence and a smidgen of “good Klingon” mentality. We’re all “indoctrinated” — it’s kind of a matter of degree. But, we (or at least I) have a choice.
If a Japanese pilot was told “fly into that carrier or you will be shot now”, or sent home in ruin and dishonor, yeah, I’d have a problem with that. And I would oppose indoctrination to suicide as a system. But, I hold no rancor toward those Kamikaze pilots. I certainly see no “indoctrination to suicide” beyond normal Western military bravery in any significant part of the Ukies’ military.
Is a US soldier indoctrinated by evil if he sacrifices himself on a battlefield to save his platoon? Say, calling in a strike on himself? Seems to me Christ had something to say about that, too... (Yes, that’s an extreme example, but where does one draw the line?)
Anyway, didn’t really mean to get so far off in the weeds philosophically. Do you have any thoughts regarding my questions about the hit itself?
Russian leadership has not essentially changed in centuries. Even freaking Yeltsin said Russia wanted all of Europe and all of Asia.
Noted. I have a buddy saying a location triggered explosive is possible, but I don’t have someone formerly in the biz of designing weapons targeting systems advising me on this one.
Unfortunately the change was only skin deep.
In my younger days, I killed quite a few ducks out of a boat that looked a bit lime that.
It can be argued that the truck exploded adjacent to the fuel tanker . The resulting fire and exploding fuel was much greater damage to the bridge by a rocket.
First degree explosion. It was all premeditated and executed.
With the damage, supplies destined for the Russian troops are cutoff for some unknown duration
Where I draw the line in this century is at deliberate or wanton attacks directed primarily at civilians, which attacks have little or no chance at greatly reducing casualties, and, particularly, where the purpose is terror of a civilian population as opposed to taking out a military target (including logistics.)
Wantonly spraying Israeli civilians with missiles is terrorism. Accurate attacks by Hamas on Israeli army bases would be fair game, in my view.
Epic birthday present to Comrade Putin from Zelensky!
Stick one of Musks Starlink boxes in that and you have a satellite guided bomb with a long range and a very large warhead.
Revision: Accurate attacks by Hamas on Israeli army bases would be fair game, if not made from heavily populated civilian areas, in my view.
Heh, I didn’t think of Starlink...
They haven’t been communist for over 30 years.

Are you advocating something from that?
Ivanpresto, I thought it was your cigarette that blew up the Crimea bridge.

Globalist Propaganda!!!
All you do is attack people here. Can’t you make any constructive arguments?
What suicide bomber would that be?
Oh, I’m sure you always thought Ukrainians were suicide bombers. What other revelations do you have for us?
Hush Neocon
