China doesn't want an empire, it wants stability. For Ukrainians, there isn't such a choice. They can either become Russia's bitch again or be bombed to hell and become Russia's bitch again. The prospect of quagmires and instability hasn't dissuaded America nor Russia from a myriad of invasions in the past few decades, only the threat of confrontation with other world powers has kept that peace, peace through actual military security. Ukraine never had that, and the west refused to give it. Our only willingness to come to the defense of the Ukrainians is by ensuring their cities get blown up and citizens becoming either refugees or massacred instead of a bloodless takeover. Ukraine could have had its regime changed in 2022 like it did in 2014, without chaos and war. What's the benefit for the common citizen to take up the desperate ethno-nationalist cause against foreign imperialists, if that cause is doomed?

You have to be very tough and there is a vetting process that is difficult. You wouldn't be able to make it.

It's what they consider fit for duty is much higher than your militia guy for example.




Hahaha

We had it so good in the Navy. 3 hot meals and a bed, 365 days a year. Coffee available 24 hours a day. The ship's store was only open during business hours, but you didn't leave home port without a good stash of gedunk anyways. We had a Russian Helix (Ka-31) fly onto our ship from the Admiral Kuznetsov (Soviet era carrier, and sister ship to the Chinese Liaoning) for a tour, and I watched these dudes dump fresh Benjamins (possibly counterfeit) in the ship's store buying American shit, especially candy.

Russia don't have the resources or the Ukrainian support to control the country, either directly or indirectly. They have the resources to snuff out the government, kill civilians and put in a puppet who might last a few months. Intel suggests Yanukovych is being prepped as the puppet, and we know just how popular he was. So it's not doomed at all, it just comes with a heavy cost

I just explained to you that this particular unit that you are praising has a history of all kinds of crooks and criminals serving. You should also look into stuff they did in Africa, foreign legion was used there to colonize counties and deal with tribal rebellion and such.

While you're at it make sure to look into Algerian war

You're blaming the foreign legion for France in it's entirety's stupid colonialism. It collapsed for a reason.

Hollywoke Reminds me of

Reminds you that not all TV shows and movies aren't documentaries?
