I am ok if Europe wants to send troops to Canada to defend against the real enemy—the United States.

Ukrainians: "the Germans are here to liberate us from the Russian yoke. And they actually mean it this time!"

Tbf Poland would be joining them this time around.

They did last time too, just not quite as voluntarily

They're allowed to take out one German tank with light cavalry, for old time's sake.

You know...as the battlefield becomes ever more automated, there might be a very brief window where the winged hussars could make a comeback.

Let's say you have a battlefield riddled with smart drones. They have image recognition and immediately attack anything resembling a tank or other military asset. Do you think anyone bothered to program the drones to seek out and attack a unit outfit like 18th century Polish cavalry? A charge on horseback just might be able to ride completely undisturbed through the right kind of drone-controlled battlefield.

THEN THE WINGED HUSSARS ARRIVED

Ukranian drones are already equipped to target the latest Russian logistic vehicles, donkeys.

These always remind me that I'm a dumb American.

Assuming the internet exists in the future...

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 minutes ago

It's a bold assumption.

I work almost entirely on things that use/need the Internet, and I know enough about how it all works that..... The Internet existing in the future, is not guaranteed. At all.

Poland: "What about attacking Russia alongside with an ally?"

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 hours ago

No thank you. Defensive alliance, sure. But not attacking. We're supposed to be the good guys, after all.

[–] [email protected] 28 points 7 hours ago

Aye, I could do that.

Germany: "i thought these days would never come again. Fighting russia with poland and france like we did late 1700s and early 1800s"

The original band coming back for one more single.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

Wouldnt say it was a band. Napoleon forced some of the germans, the others joined because they wanted to be on the winning side, and the poles fought with Bonaparte for their freedom

[–] [email protected] 5 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

So like a supergroup. Like the Highwaymen.

I know Charlemagne doesn't fit the definition of a Supergroup, but that's simply because when the term was coined, Christopher Lee hadn't joined any bands yet. So the creators of the term forgot to leave in the loophole that any band with Christopher Lee is also a Supergroup.
