And we aren't trolling when we say you'll sign your own death warrant, as a nation, and as a person.

the richest nation on earth with a military budget larger than the domestic budget of dozens of countries combined, couldnt stomach a fight against dirt poor cavemen, armed with cold war and WW2 relics, on the other side of the world, who were so culturally alien to them, they might as well have been from mars. And you're going to pick a fight with people who all they have to do is wear a Bruins hat and they pass for an American?

Ask the Russians how the occupation of their Ukrainian cousins territory has worked out. If you could speak to the dead that is. Those who are still alive, live looking over their shoulder for the rest of their lives.

    I sure as hell wouldn't want the job of securing logistics in the northern woods with a bunch of angry Canucks running around.

    And yet, you think you haven't succumbed to American brainrot.

    It just sounds weird to call your enemies cavemen honestly. I know they’re the fucking Taliban and stuff, but there’s something to it that is hard to explain. If we’d be talking about Sam Losco on the other hand, that’d be a different story as that guy is a literal caveman.

    The Russian occupation is actually turning out more or less fine, the Russian government is better at finding and eliminating organized dissent than at pretty much anything else. They've been having some trouble against the regular army however

    Weird, I seem to recall there being some very big explosions happening in Russia like all of the time.

    I guess Russia is very good at rooting out organized dissent and preventing commando operations, just very bad at enforcing no smoking rules around explosives?

    What makes you think those are commando infantry operations by locals rather than airstrikes from ukraine

    What makes you think it makes a difference? Targets in Russia are blowing up either way.

    Also some of the big booms in Russia happened far enough away from Ukraine that it's unlikely a drone strike. I suppose they still could be, but the drone operator would need to be inside Russia to make that happen.

    if they were local ops, they'd be happening more or less uniformly all over russia instead of what we're actually seeing, which is that they're happening near the ukrainian border and steadily moving further out as ukr drone tech improves
