A bunch of tech-focused men have shitty views about women? Color me shocked. /s

The guys who can’t muster up the courage to talk to a woman sure have a lot of opinions about them, don’t they?

You’re welcome to think this but the situation on the ground is not negative.

For now they’re essentially off the table. They seem to be supplying equipment and components not actual military weapons systems like AAA or APVs or things like that.

This absolutely can change in the future, but it’s China’s benefit to have a weaker Russia. So, they are making money but not directly helping Russia win. If that makes sense. At least that’s what it looks like from my limited perspective.

Who’s cheering? I see people not caring that the shoe is on the other foot, and the people who were having rooftop parties to watch Gaza get destroyed are now on the other end of that equation.

Supply lines and logistics.

Ukraine’s military equipment is a mix of NATO surplus gear (ample supplies of such gear in most NATO countries, or found on the global markets), homegrown drones/missiles (can be replaced), and various other equipment for sale in the western MIC.

Russia’s primary equipment is gear that was made in Russia or in former Eastern Bloc countries like Ukraine. Russia’s equipment being finite comes from two things; they are burning through their vast Soviet surplus at a rate that is not sustainable, and their domestic and their domestic production of equipment cannot backfill those losses of the more modern equipment.

A bunch of the lynchpin systems Russia relies on cannot even be manufactured anymore, so when radar systems are destroyed, the replacement of such equipment cannot be easily done.

A vast majority of people in Israel support the policies of the country. They supported leveling Palestine. They support attacking Lebanon. They support bombing Iran.

They’re just mad that Iran made their munitions to counter against their iron dome and their air defenses.

The amount of money that we have wasted at the behest of Israel is staggering. Trillions of dollars. Every single dollar stolen from our people, to advance the interests of an ‘ally’ who has literally attacked our soldiers.

You’re probably the type of person to think the south was winning the civil war, until they didn’t.

Russia’s long term strategy ends in failure. Every week that Ukraine still exists, they are one step closer to losing.

Russia’s equipment is finite, Ukraine’s is not.

I was agreeing with you?

Agreed.

The one side moved into a neighborhood, and then started shit with all their neighbors.

Emotional responses aren’t rational.

It’s not about targeting the whole thing it’s about targeting links in the chain. If you took down 1-2 links in the chain the frontlines are impacted.

You don’t have to celebrate his actions, but you can understand them.

If someone wantonly murdered your entire family, chances are the next actions you would take would not be rational.

I hope they do. Israel has harassed Lebanon for ages.

Israel is having us fight Iran for them while they invade Lebanon. Seems to be working out well for the Israelis from their end.

Meanwhile our soldiers are dying for them, again. I’m so over this ‘relationship’ we have with this fucking country.

Oh fully agreed, man. It’s so fucking pathetic.

They already are saying that it’s a problem because Biden didn’t do anything.

Republicans are fucking feckless when it comes to their blatant lies in the media.

That tends to happen when Israel attacks them and their allies all the time. And no, this is not an invitation to debate ‘who shot first,’ this is a stark statement to say that they both have been attacking each other for decades.

I live in Los Angeles, and the price of gas for premium is like 5.60 or higher. It’s ‘high’ for us but not insane.
