Russia-Ukraine War - News and Developments PART 2

[Vergennes]

Mobiks are understanding what their real role is : Cannon fodder. To be honest I have zero sympathy for them,they aren't criticizing the war or Putin but only about their "conditions" equipments and pays. They deserve everything that happens to them in Ukraine.

hmm... "forcing" someone to be a Genghis Khan. We already know every barbarian has an excuse.

Well, that's a problem with humanity itself.
I look at it in this way.
See when a Tiger, Lion, Jaguar, Leopard etc. kills, they have this killing in their eyes, they are hungry, they are in a frenzy.
Look at Reptiles doing that, there is nothing, nothing good or bad in their eyes (actually animals are never bad in a human sense) but crocodiles tearing apart something, no matter the victim is making noises or not (depends on how large/strong the croc is and where it bites first etc.) the crocodile works like a machine.

And that is the thing.
We say this/that is "humanly", this/that is a rule.
I can understand Taliban who fight the way they are doing it. Because they would be completely obliterated in a open battle, with uniforms, their technicals and maxium a few BMP-1/2, T-55/62. They could do nothing except going to their paradise with this rule-based-fighting-way.

So they have their style, according to their rules.
Civilian clothes, not clear visible patches etc.
But then they are LUCKY that Americans aren't rounding up the males in the village where a classical Taliban attack happened.
TBH, today there are really no reasons to execute randomly 10+ civs for a partisan attack, you can check who used a rifle, can enforce rules before things like that escalate (forgery-proof and remotely readable passports, fast testing smoke traces testers, killing/free fire zones in remote areas (with drones) AFTER 2 weeks of warnings etc.)
So the Americans are, because of their based values, castrating themselfes in order to obey the(ir) rules (mostly).
They are at disadvantages against the Taliban who make their own rules.
You can't really get them in a sense that it would make a difference.
That's a problem, for the Westerns who are there (arguable).
I personal don't care if they Taliban house OsamaBinBathing, why shouldn't I, he attacked Murrica, not Germany.
Otherwise the Americans had other ways to get him instead of wasting so much money (and lifes, of all sides).

If we wanted to, Iran would be made of glass. Every time an Israeli ship gets hit by a Shahed, Israel hits 4 Iranian ships.

How the shadow war between Iran and Israel is affecting shipping

The Mercer Street incident has once again brought the shadow war at sea between Iran and Israel into the spotlight.

Iranian ships don't like being near Iran either:

Retired US general Ben Hodges, the former supreme commander of US army in Europa makes a predictiion:
the decisive battles will be fought at Mariupol and north of Crimea. Ukraine army will prevail in Summer 2023.

"Ukraine wird im Sommer ihr gesamtes Territorium kontrollieren"

Der Raketeneinschlag in Polen ruft Ängste vor einer weiteren Eskalation des Krieges hervor. Der frühere Oberkommandeur der US-Armee in Europa, Ben Hodges, schätzt diese Gefahr im ntv-Interview als gering ein. Er rechnet vielmehr mit der Befreiung der Krim im nächsten Sommer.

USSR did the type of fighting you are suggesting. They lost. USA did a lot of stuff like this, but not as much, they still lost.

This idea that you can brutalise a population and make them surrender just doesn't stack up with reality. Just look where Afghanistan is, surrounded by Pakistan and Russian satellites. Pakistan trained the Taliban and owl feed the Taliban with arms and money and people. With a combined population of about 200 million, these two countries were determined that US failed in Afghanistan.

Did US have the capacity to genocide Afghanistan? not really, Pakistan had nukes and an endless supply of Pashtuns. There is also china and Russia who would get involved. Once US did something like that there would be a massive proliferation of nukes as all others would know they will suffer genocide next. The US would upend its own world order by doing this.

Trump was the first to realise that this war should not go on and I'm sure he asked the generals how he could win, and unsurprisingly they told him that he'd have to kill 10 milion people. He knew this was not possible and admitted it.

The world works on a system of alliances. the big fish cant just eat the smaller fish. As we can see in Ukraine. If this was possible there would now be only one country left that conquered all the others. There is no such country, and this system, that we have now allows the safety and relative sovereignty of most countries that exist today. Thats why we have countries like Slovenia and north Macedonia. They are easy to conquer and subdue only on paper. The current world order and system of alliances allows them to exist and have a voice. Same with Afghanistan and their (now we can confidently say "legitimate") government.

Russia has for centuries killed Ukrainians and many Eastern European nations

however this time Ukraine had balls to stand and fight

they handed Russia a defeat they wont forget in a long time

but I have this feeling next year the Russian counter attack will come after Winter of preparations

because historically speaking thats what Russia has always done

Ottoman beat the Russians back until all of the land around Black Sea belongs to Turks

then after 200 years Russia comes back

so lest see what happens

Russian losses now exceed 8,000

One of the few advantages of the Russian tanks are their low profile.

T-72 is 2.23 m in height , T 80 2.202 in height . compared to the Abraham Tank - in height 2.44 m

Add to that the low turret , that the Soviet model usually have , and they have an advantage when hiding and firing behind a hill or a ramp.

Now imagine trying to hide behind a ramp with this contraption attached to your tank. You would be spotted from miles away.




~

actually the low profil is much more of a disadvantage than a advantage...
low profil turret = extremly limited up and down gun movement... means tanks like T-55, T-62 etc. cant fire from hull down positions and need to completely expose their tank to shoot downhill and cant fire uphill at a step angle ...
