how? do nothing and your inaction has killed more people. Pulling the lever effectively means saving three people, i can't see an angle from where that is a controversial position to hold

off topic but i never fuken understood this problem. Like literally. your action can save 4 people, what's the reasoning behind not pulling the lever being a morally valid choice as much as pulling it?

might just be me, but i feel like administering the punishment in a more sensible way sounds like a better option than making it so the possession of CP only gets you a slap on the wrist

whole Kharkov front is crumbling under the action of a few DRG's. The numbers are also exxagerated, more sensible bloggers talk about 2 to 4k russian soldiers. It's becoming clear that the AFU can somewhat hold pre-prepared position in hot areas, but has no capability to redeploy reserves to new fronts.

The poor 47th fire brigade must be spending more times sitting on cars and trains than actually fighting

iirc John Oliver talked about a particular missile silo which is so old the computers still use punched cards, and there is no soldier who is actually trained on those systems. The door of that same silo is also always open, because it broke and they don't know how to fix it

they make it look so easy, it's frustrating

tbh this is already the case when it comes to the air/sea war. Recent wargames show that in the moment of an attack, the US fleet and airforce in the pacific get missile'd to hell before even being able to operate effectively

"i don't want my words miscontrued" bro no one cares about you or your words

same thing you say to people who had relatives killed by Stalin

"there is a good chance they deserved it"

by the way i see it, voluntarily settling in a land that's being colonized and ethnically cleansed comes with accepting the idea that you and your family are at risk of suffering retaliation

For real, western nations really need to get a grip and realize that no one is scared of them anymore. Russia has shown the world that you can fight back against NATO and win. Yet countries like France still seem to think that they can terrorize modern independent nations like they terrorized african tribal communities.

The biggest issue is that the French army, much like any other western army, has no experience in fighting peers. The only two countries in the world which have that are Russia and Ukraine. French officers themselves admitted that the russian army is not the main (arguably only) reference when it comes to peer-to-peer combat operations.

French troops would not fare any better than the élite, nato-equipped ukrainian brigades that smashed their heads against the Surovikin line.

I will say this tho - i never thought i would live to see german tanks burn on russian soil again, and i am sort of excited to see the french being beaten out of russia again

redditors when they have to realize that the mighty ubermensch superior german engineering tanks get blown up by an atgm like literally every other tank
