Ukraine and Only Ukraine. If it isn't about Ukraine then fuck off

[Olsonist]

Anecdotal information can be deceptive. Infantry is deployed without artillery support by everybody at times.

I get the reason to dismiss the Russians as idiots and mindless orcs for propaganda, but it's important to not fall into the trap of believing one's own bullshit. They are not idiots.

Just for shits and giggles, here is a pro assessing the Russian attempt to take Kiev. He teaches at West Point. He clearly sees them as nowhere near as stupid as we are seeing depicted in the press, twitter pundits, and assorted cheerleaders in social media.

In related news, the Memphis Grizzlies are an NBA dynasty.

Nah, pretty sure you're still firmly wedged on there, actually.

FKT

you don't really matter to me.

Everyone has a plan.
It's what's happens when the plan turns to shit that matters...

 

[kent_island_sailor]

lol, you say all that like I just fell off the turnip truck...
fuck 'militarism'.

I assume wherever you are to say that is a safe and peaceful place. You are doing the equivalent of trying to get donations for gun control from a guy in a gunfight with a psychotic neighbor that has invaded his house and killed a few of his kids and the dog already. Not a good day for this, call back later maybe.

There's a chapter in War and Peace. I think it's the night before Borodino. There's a strategy council amongst the general staff and it goes late into the evening, later than necessary. Finally Kutuzov, knowing that the planning was an exercise in futility, says to go to bed and that sleep was the most important preparation.

He's playing a role opposite you.


Both roles have their pros and cons...

I can agree with that.

Fortune favours the alert...

Being nice to your neighbors and not settling things with guns and killing works a treat for Costa Rica. Their neighbors don't want to wipe them out of existence.

So how many divisions should their be on the Canadian border?



We can play this game all day. Or at least until d'ranger feels the need to interfere.


How about we both agree that different situations call for different solutions?

as if that's not abundantly clear, eh.
I state my personal contempt here in a general sense, for all kinds of reasons, even ones that transcend the human world and impose upon the natural world.
I empathize with more than just a certain species of hairless monkee, see.
