Popular Post ozimoron Posted January 27, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted January 27, 2023 Just now, SunnyinBangrak said: Because your statement is so overly simplistic that it is laughable. Russia did not just wake up one day and decide to invade Ukraine for no reason whatsoever. The west meddled in Ukraine's internal politics which for the Russians was unacceptable. Why can't you not grasp this is not a black/white situation? War never is. Russia planned the invasion for months and lied that they weren't going to invade. It couldn't get easier to understand. Nor could the war crimes. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Putin has been planning this for years he laid the ground since before his stealing of Crimea and the Donbas he went to great lengths indeed as far as helping a (at best) a useful imbecile in the White House to weaken Allies and hopefully kill or weaken nato oh yes there maxim pre mediation on this war of subjection and extermination slava Ukraine ???????? kick the invaders out! 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hanaguma Posted January 28, 2023 Share Posted January 28, 2023 For the cost of one Abrams tank, you can buy 50 Javelin anti-tank missiles. Plus training on the Abrams is a 22 week course. So when will these machines actually arrive and will they do much good? From my time in the military, tanks were not considered defensive weapons anyway. They are best used on offence. So why does Ukrain suddenly want offensive weapons? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably to mount an 'offense' against Russian forces illegally occupying parts of Ukraine. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're a vet and you couldn't figure that out? I thought the purpose of arming Ukraine was to stop the Russians, bleed them white, then force them to the bargaining table or to retreat. Not to mount offensive operatrions. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not to mount offensive operatrions. You thought the goal of arming Ukraine was to freeze the battle lines into an indefinite war of attrition? A war decided when one side decides it can bleed no more? Where did you get that idea? The purpose of arming Ukraine was so Ukraine could defend itself and kick out the Russian military.
