This might be a little tougher than Putin thought...

There are so many things wrong with this statement…
this. FDR was using every bit of political skill he possessed to ever so slowly prepare the US for the war he knew was coming. Simply keeping the Selective Service Act in existence was a minor miracle. All well and good to say we should have intervened in 1938-39. Completely overlooks how unprepared for war the country was, and how strong isolationist feelings still were.
for comparisons sake, we entered WW1 in April 1917. It would not be until 1918 that American troops began arriving in France fully trained and in sufficient numbers to make an impact.
He doesn't get it
Because his "idols" are all Putin-lovers and he cannot break through the cognitive dissonance that they're the ones who created this mess.
Still seems to be some confusion.
Ukraine invasion: 40-mile Russian military convoy nearing Kyiv, satellite pictures show
The column is made up of armoured vehicles, tanks, towed artillery and other logistical vehicles and is believed to be around 17 miles from Kyiv.
ANYTHING that is not a military/strategic target is a war crime, bro.
No; we're giving Putin the choice to save ALL the families.
If 20 oligarchs/families get offed vs thousands of Ukrainian families, it saves thousands of lives.
Japan's success in the invasion of China was linked to them sending their troops with little/no food. They had to take it to survive. Not saying it's the same but just sayin..
Comes towers wouldn't make it. They could get charged foe the children's schools but comes towers is certainly a strategic target.
Totally get it and think there is certainly some "burn the bridge behind you" going on here.
Some people just like to hear themselves talk, no matter how silly they sound.

@Joes Place @Whiskeydeltadeltatango please take your argument here.
A quick search through 3 pages of your recent post has you comparing 6 different entities to Hitler. If you want to continue the conversation in another thread we can work on finding you some new descriptors.
LOL, no
China had a 19th century army, compared with what Japan had.
Food had little to do with it.
Tack on the racial animosities of the Japanese believing their were the Master Race in Asia and you have the formula for atrocities.
I think some of you are way, way ahead of yourselves after five days.
I don't think any options should be off the table, including a no fly zone. Russia doesn't get to just do whatever they want because they can scream "nukes!". It wasn't like that for 40 years of the Cold War (when the world was much more closely balanced on each side), and it's not like that now.
On the other hand...its been five days. War is hell and we haven't seen this kind of war for a long time, our whole lives for most of us, and we've NEVER seen it this up close. We're not, nor should we be, shooting down Russian planes in less than a week.
This is very likely going to take a while, and it's going to be horrifying. Ukraine is going to continue to receive weapons and supplies from the entire world. Russia has almost no support and they won't be able to keep this up indefinitely. We shouldn't be scared, but there's a long, long way to go before we need to engage directly.

To "Hitler"? Or to "Nazis"?
You continue to ignore that what Putin is doing right now is EXACTLY how Hitler started.
Only your rightwing media in American is cheering Putin on. In the 1930s, western nations mostly ignored him rather than actively cheering.

It’s not my thread you derp
They are strategic in the minds of the Russians and for normal war however it would seem like Musk beat them to the punch is what I was saying. Like blowing up the enemies horses when they have access to vehicles.
Interesting...wonder what to make of that second comment...

Sherman's March was the same. It's nasty but it's a part of modern "total war."
Do you want to further this in the other thread or let it fuxking go and maybe start finding words other than Hitler to describe what it is you are going for?
I'm not interesting in wrestling a pig in this thread.
And this is why the Russians might be being "risk averse" with their troop deployments...they're not worried about getting them killed, they're worried about them quitting...
Sooooo, basically eliminate the families of the only people who are perceived to potentially be able to influence him? Got it.
I would guess the average Japanese soldier was slightly more motivated than the average Russian soldier.
That's what I was saying. I don't know enough about starlink but isn't taking out a comm tower like cutting your neighbors cable who uses satellite? (Poor analogy but I think you see what I mean)
Damn...Putin's cost them the race walking championships...
