The main desirable traits for them to have would be spineless and cowardly lol.

Hi Cookie

Interesting business plan I must say, generally those types will poison you or slit your throat while sleeping especially if you make them live in fear or subject them to humiliation. Then there are the women both the pretty and less so, I am thinking Nuke could likely depose you with your own people.

All hail King Cookie Crumble

Good points, so I would pick a couple of the unattractive ladies who are besotted with me to be tasters.

I`m pretty sure I can avoid being nuked. I would seek to expand my realms power, but should we encounter a crazier foe than me I will have to resort to some butt kissing. Dont laugh, everyone has to kiss some ones butt lol.

Hi Cookie

Might be hard to hide the numbers of dead food testers so besotting might be a full time job

I have revised my plan. After the apocalypse:

Step 1: Crown myself God.

Step 2: Carve out a vast realm.

Step 3: Force all the people to worship me under threat of execution.

Step 4: Have them construct for me the largest, most impressive, most expensive, most utterly magnificent statue in all of history. One that can be seen from the surface of the moon.

Step 5: Probably get assassinated as my megalomania ascends into the heavens. But so long as my statue is finished and I get to see it, thats okay, I`ve achieved my life`s purpose.

It's not too late for trumpers to board the first flight to EUrope and stick a flower in each Kanonenrohr

Hi Cookie

Would you settle for a box of chocolate chip cookies instead.

Bradley's roll east through Germany. The Russian voice in the background doesn't sound enthusiastic

 

 

russian took the video of himself swearing at Bradleys, saying he would hit them with artillery right away. 

I wonder what made him so disoriented that he ended up in Germany instead of Donbas. 

[Helen of Annoy]

And to make this perfect day even better, this is essentially an obituary by kremlin for this Nosferatu. Composting him won't change russia for the better, though, they're just fighting for power and Nosferatu became too much of an annoyance while not producing anything that resembles victory.

Ukraine does want F-16. Now. 

[DarkHunter]

Seems so far 22 Leopard 2A4, 14 Leopard 2A6, and if the speculation is accurate 30 to 50 Abrams tanks for Ukraine.  Netherlands wants to buy 18 Leopard 2A6 tanks for Ukraine.

Hearing rumors of 12 countries planning on supply Ukraine with 100+ Leopard 2 tanks.

Ah, there they are. Back in late autumn, russia "misplaced" one million winter uniforms for their orcs. They found something that will suit them better. 

 

[Helen of Annoy]

Three more "Alligators" and one Su shot down by Ukraine today, russian "offensive" in Zaporizhzhia region failed, kremlin published an "alibi" for prigozhin's probable death in near future, Western tanks are going to Ukraine, Fs will follow... if I wake up tomorrow and see the cure for cancer was found I won't be surprised  

'night, guys. Kiss a vatnik for me while I'm gone. In the forehead. With a toilet plunger.

The guy is a legit military target, even though this is nothing but Kremlin warning or promise.

Logistics nightmare but necessary.

[Duke Wellington]

In WW2 Britain figured out that Germany only had 2 ball bearing plants. Once bombed, the war went downhill fast for them.

Instead of 100,000s of Ukrainians dying, and us wasting all our military equipment, all that is needed is a bit of thinking. What do tanks or artillery need and with which Russia only has one or two plants making?

NATO may struggle to keep up with Russian military technology:

Not really, those are relatively small numbers that would end up being mobilized in chalks.

Anyone who has been part of an EDRE here in the states will agree.

Believe me I know logistics. A lot of different tanks. The Leopards use diesel and the Abrams use aviation fuel. All use smooth bore ammo but the British tanks use a rifles barrel and has a different sabot

Not completely accurate.  America uses jet fuel in Abrams tanks but the engine is able to take jet fuel, gasoline, diesel, or marine diesel.  Essentially if it combust and is mostly a liquid the Abrams tank engine can use it.

None of which should be showstoppers when putting together movement plans. Details but not details that derail, as an old load planner used to say.

They’re extra ordinary conditions. . I bet these tanks haven’t come alone either. Tankers and mechanics would follow to train and advise. Spare parts also. Probably have the tanks working in different regions or theatres

Maybe you should stick to your violence porn in your own country seeing as how you would be willing to kill your own citizens on your streets over political differences.

My opinions seem to cause you distress.  Get over it.  I'll say what I think as often as I choose to.  It harms NO ONE HERE.  Trying to suppress speech seems to be your MO.  Get over yourself...  Those whose bravado includes essentially ignoring the very real risk of a nuclear weapon, aren't impressive for their "courage".  They just seem to be terminally wrapped up in a vicious kind of tribalism.  You stick to doing YOU and I'll mind my own business.

This could be a long battle and I hope Russia does not resort to Nukes.

I do, as well.  The greatest danger sign imo, is the faux bravado about Russia never using a nuke, even if they are being humiliated and pushed out of even Crimea.  One does not have to support Russia or its aims to credibly point out the dangers.  Those here who are cheering on like this chaos is some kind of game don't impress me at all.  I get the feeling they'd cheerfully shut dissenting opinions down, or worse, if they were given the power.  People like THAT are as dangerous as any Russian or Ukrainian.

…just a general observation about this war concerning SAM use. The price of these missiles is astronomical. Upwards of half a million for an IRST-T to a million dollars for each missile. You can really do some financial damage to an adversaries budget by using a $20,000 loitering drone to tie up a million dollar  missile. Surely there has to be a cheaper way to destroy this threat in a cost effective manner

I've heard that Patriot missiles can cost between 3-5 MILLION dollars per unit.  That's, PER MISSILE.
