Good analysis by a former US Army Lt Colonel why western heavy weapons in reality might not play as big of a role in the Donbas.

Zelensky asked for tanks, anti-tanks,or Jets / offensive drones because Russia changed tactics and is now rolling with tanks in large rural areas; it's easier for them to take small cities, village. Easier to loot too probably.
He said that Ukrainians have not much to rivalize against tanks. Not sure if they used all their anti-tank weapons or if they also need more safe mobility in the areas.

So the Cherokee can take back the Midwest? Or not because they used to own it. Huh?


Please tell me this is a meme. People are still using the "return land to the native Americans" nonsense argument? Do you realize how often land changed hands well before whitey even showed up to the new world, not mention how long ago it became whitey's land, and what the right of conquest means?

It’s the same level meme as it’s somehow Putins right to take back counties because they were once part of RU That was the posts stance. Stop getting triggered and read the posts before you react to the “left” omg he must be wrong!!!

Right of conquest is just might makes right. Yep, about the level of moral understanding I expect from you.

Go Putin…Russia already lost once to America (the Cold War)…they (the Russian ppl) wanted blue jeans, gum and McDonald’s. It happened.Awesome, let’s work together! After this latest provocation, just for the simple reason of being down whomevers throats they can, it’s America that cost the lives of Ukrainian people, not Putin. If you speak or know Russian, go type zelensky in search engine…this dude was and still is a clown…I can send a video of him doing a sketch of a Putin puppet “buying” democracy for a skit.

All in all, war isn’t good. It isn’t the answer to anything. On the grand stand of things (just on from my point of view) i hate how it has effected Russian people all over the world. I even dislike more how it effected my Slavic brothers towards me. For what? So one country could put nukes near another country and show “superiority”? That’s a joke! This whole worlds economy is integrated and if any leaders were worth a damn, they’d admit it and look for resolution.

You have obviously exhibited that you believe might makes right in any scenario in which the leaders you support have the advantage. Your moral high horse here is nothing but a lame donkey.

It’s gonna be a bad analogy from me but what if I told you that if you insult my wife, I’ll deck you in the face? Idk who you are, idk if I’ll win….my wife doesn’t belong to me and is a free person…

Concept here is you’re threatening my position and I chose to act.
