Ukraine

Have some sympathy guys - the "I might miss the father-daughter dance" clock has also moved in step

Sounds like Germany is now agreeing to send around 40ish Leopards and let other countries send theirs. If you believe the UK Daily Mail.... I won't hold my breath.

Looks like Der Spiegel is reporting the same.

What makes you think the world will be safer if Russia conquers Ukraine? I think it is quite obvious that the world is safer if Russia fails, is driven from Ukrainian land and the regime suffers mightily if not collapses from it. That would be a major disincentive to any other countries, see China, from pursuing imperialistic goals.

Well thank you, but I’m not the Nobel laureate I was referring too. You’ll have to contact the nerds in the article.

I was just down at the graveyard, send them a hustler, job over. Lots of good stuff to throw back into service.

I built one of those. From Revell I believe. Yep.



And Testors glue, never understood the attraction.

It was wicked. Made to carry a single nuke, nothing else. Won’t help the energy crisis though, those engines were built to take it to hell, one way. Mach 2

No where in that article do they say the danger would be less of the West didn’t support Ukraine. The blame is solely on Russia. Nor do they say that the risk would be averted if Russia prevails.

If you agree with that, then it sounds like your post was basically saying, “shocker - strongman nuclear power invading neighbor raises risk of nuclear war”.

B-58 was one sexy plane though.

You think the world will be safer if a nuclear power known for military hardware disappearing through graft turns into a failed state?

Can you explain that one to me? Seems emotionally gratifying and not very well thought out IMO.

You would think that anyone wanted to get their hands on some Russian nukes would be doing everything they could to help Ukraine destroy Russia so they could get their hands on said nukes. Now is the best chance those terrorists groups will probably ever have to make that a reality.

Maybe the replacement state won't be as criminally incompetent as the current one.

Pretty dumb of Putin wasn’t it?

It’s all a master plan, just like why Lavorov just signed a fir visa free travel with Eswatini today. The booming, rich, nation formerly known as Swaziland. 8D chess.

I'm pretty sure they still have a legit king. Not some fake ceremonial head of state like the Euros, but a real deal absolute ruler monarchy.

[Bunion 2020]

Brothers in Swaziland got it figured?

Maybe the next time I wonder if I should trust a fart instead of sharting myself I'll actually just gain a jet engine and fly around with red white and blue contrails coming out of my ass for a while but it seems like a stretch.

Cus ya know, assessing the consequences for that maybe not happened are part of risk assessment.

[Buster Highmen]

I read that Russia is bombing Ukraine with over self inflated contrarians.

[leroy jenkins]

So I should trust that fart is what you're saying?


Also I'm not a contrarian. You're a contrarian.

In all seriousness though I don't think pointing out naivety in hoping for a nuclear power to become a failed state is contrarian at all.

You just said nothing, it’s incomprehensible

Why the world needs Ukrainian victory:

1. To halt atrocity
2. To preserve the international legal order
3. To end an era of empire
4. To defend the peace project of the European Union
5. To give the rule of law a chance in Russia
6. To weaken the prestige of tyrants
7. To remind us that democracy is the better system
8. To lift the threat of major war in Europe
9. To lift the threat of major war in Asia
10. To prevent the spread of nuclear weapons
11. To reduce the risk of nuclear war
12. To head off future resource wars
13. To guarantee food supplies and prevent future starvation
14. To accelerate the shift from fossil fuels
15. To affirm the value of freedom

Two key points on nuclear weapons:

• Ukraine gave up nuclear weapons. Russia, a nuclear power, then invaded. If Ukraine loses, countries that can build nuclear weapons will feel that they need to do so to protect themselves.
• A Ukrainian victory makes two major war scenarios involving nuclear powers less likely, and works against nuclear proliferation generally. Nothing would reduce the risk of nuclear war more than Ukrainian victory.

Why is everyone so hung up on JP4 as the fuel for the M1A1 when everywhere I look it can apparently run on basically any fuel commonly available like kerosene, gasoline, diesel, etc?

Harder to maintain? Needs a conversion kit?

Apparently the Abrams engine generates more horsepower with it preferred ultra high test fuel. The other fuels produce less HP and apparently cause more engine wear.
