to be fair he is an honest representation of a wider group mindset re: there is only good on one side and there is only evil on the other.


I never like the either you stand on my side or you are evil mentality.
The world is a lot more complicated than this.

Once you start dehumanizing a particular race, religion or creed that is where everything collapse.
You will create monsters within yourself and create monsters around you that will unleash endless wars and hatred.
And hatred breeds personalities that will create beings that are capable of mass genocide and Armageddon.

Wars, hatred and genocide. This is what pushes humanity forward like nitro boost. And when the ashes of war eventually fall down and bloody veil goes off homo sapiens sapiens starts to think how to apply war machines in the household. Circle starts again in 100 years when hatred bar is full. It's like a menstrual cycle. Always ends with blood until pregnancy and we are yet to see something new to be born.

yup. The only hope we have at times although it sounds pitiful is to hope that it doesn't happen in our region where we stay or reside.
And when the world is reasonably peaceful, work hard and make money so you can move freely to places which are safe when shit hits the fan.

I kinda did that in a way.

If peski falls, avdiika is fucked.

Also if soledar falls and the nearby hills, bakhmut is fucked.

Kinda true in a way. They lack a higher power who they sometimes put their faith in to keep them in check.


they become the "higher power" why i refer to them being in their own "godhood" atheism is a death cult if we are just "evolved" creatures what do we really owe each other when it is just competition for resources and who is "evolved" more than the other. might makes right can only be the real mantra. things like love are only just a figments of random chemical reactions and dont really exist.

we do live at an interesting junction. the historical record is recorded and it shows us the horror of "no God"
atheists like to tout Friedrich Nietzsche but i think he knew what was to come with God being "dead" perhaps why he became insane?

sadly atheist are not really logical creatures and reject what is right in front of them. asininely stubborn creatures

1himars is 12 Russian launchers, because of increased precision.
Himars destroyed like 40% of Russia front-line warehouses, this is a big hit. But as I said, Russians will probably find a way to improve their logistics so that it might be short term change only.

silly, anyone who thinks 12 missile launchers can turn the tide of anything are beyond brain damaged.

It is just another wonderweapon like:

Switch blades,
Nlaw
777s
bayraktar

etc War is a massive combined effort. Artillery is one of the most crucial pieces, and russian artillery advantage is probably 20x the ukrs, even if they got 200 himras the russians would still have a massive artillery advantage.

It is true russia has a relatively weak navy, airforce and electronic capabilities etc. But when you talk about artillery? nope. Every system nato has russia has an equivalent if not better when it comes to artillery. Their entire army is based around their artillery capabilities.

I updated. That one picture of 3 days doesn't really mean anything. There are operational pauses, movement, replacing, rotating etc, you want to look over weeks and during the equivalent cycle when artillery is actually massively used.

All the artillery pieces in the world aren't going to matter if you can't supply them with ammunition. If HIMARs are strategically obliterating the ammo depots, then Russia has nothing but giant metal straws.
