If you’re worried about good education, can it be considered good education

Путин: «Вообще, вся эта возня вокруг дополнительных поставок вооружения, на мой взгляд, имеет только одну цель — затянуть как можно дальше вооруженный конфликт»

То есть все уже идёт не по плану? Или всё-таки пока ещё идёт в точности по заранее продуманному и выверенному плану?

#Ukraine: A collection of a few of the weapons currently used by Ukrainian army: FN F2000 Tactical and M4A1 assault rifles + Beretta M9 and Glock 19 Gen 5, donated by allies.
Classic Soviet Tokarev and Stechkin APS pistols + a modded AKS-74U are also seen.

The FN F2000 Tactical 5.56 assault rifle here is rather interesting - unlike previously seen F2000s, it has a picatinny top rail. The same variant was used by the Belgian Special Forces Group before they swapped them for SCAR-L- so perhaps that is the source.

I gotta say, Zelensky is pretty good at knowing what to say and when to say it to extract the most support from the west

Before there was a lot more importance, at least on the surface, of bold tactics, encirclemwnts, paradrops, that kind of warfare

#

where now seems to be just "lob shells at rhe other till one side breaks"

#

and I wonder if here is where the sheer numerical superiority of the Russians arsenal begins to threaten ukraine

hopefully the continued weapons shipments can make up for that

but I am concerned

himars has gigantic range and pinpoint accuracy, they need to get it asap

although i will add that once himars starts getting delivered, ukraine will need quite a few for them to start making a real difference. just 20 or 30 won’t cut it

#

often times a small amount of great weapons is still inferior to a large amount of good enough weapons

#

although i have heard some rumors that ukraine’s requests for artillery are partly a trick to make the russians let their guard down. they advance, thinking ukraine is out of artillery, only to get obliterated by the battery they didn’t expect to encounter. i hope there’s at least some truth to this and ukraine still has a semi-sufficient amount of artillery left

I forgot which year that was

tired scaffold
#

I wish I knew how to word what I want to say here

#

the problem is
if someone's not in a position to do anything about an awful situation
it's really bad for their mental health to dwell too much on it
and it's also really bad to expect them to do something about it when they have no power to do anything

#

The media and the govt are the main culprits

#

who have done wrong

#

The media don't tell people about it, on purpose, fhe government ignore war crimes and massacres because oil money :DDD

lilac sparrow
#

Well to be fair, last time the government tried to intervene with one of those border conflicts, our troops were videotaped being dragged behind cars until their heads fell off while the people were cheering

#

So we pulled out

#

We help in Nigeria, South Africa and such, they are friendlier there

fierce arch
#

of course western news are gonna focus on things that happen close to the west

#

and the war in yemen and syria are not changing nearly as quickly as ukraine

lilac sparrow
#

Yea, this ain’t the first nation that Russia invaded in the last 20 years, it’s the one that is the closest to the west that we do care about it

split aurora
#

I'm not saying intervene

#

I mean "Stop giving Saudi Arabia planes"

#

We're militarily arming the saudi's

fierce arch
#

when has america literally ever cared about funding oppression

split aurora
#

yeah thats true

#

what's moral and what's politically convenient, very different

fierce arch
#

if theres money in it for the taxpayers they're in

#

i dislike the fact we fuel us military planes in shannon airport personally

#

though its some deal that was made and i dont think we can rescind it

lilac sparrow
#

Nato ally, we also fuel other country planes in our airports

split aurora
#

I dislike how many US bases we have here

lilac sparrow
#

German?

split aurora
#

...in large part, due to Harry Dunn

#

Harry Dunn was a 19year old brit, riding his motorbike

#

The wife of a US-Diplomat who worked at a nearby military base was going the wrong way down the road

#

slammed straight into him, killing him

#

She rushed to a plane to america

#

And america refused to extradite

#

Sooo she murdered a brit, on British soil, and is getting off completely scot free

#

and that pisses me, and a large part of the country off

lilac sparrow
#

Yea thats fucked up

split aurora
#

(Happened about 2019, under Pres Trump)

fierce arch
split aurora
#

Yeah

fierce arch
#

ah

#

it does make sense because of nato though

split aurora
#

My thoughts on NATO are... mixed, and I don't know enough to state a view either way

#

It makes sense why we have them

lilac sparrow
#

No, if manslaughter happened then she should be extradited

split aurora
#

but I dislike them eitherway

split aurora
#

Sadly america is... america

#

and there's nothing we can do

lilac sparrow
#

Do you classify murder differently? There should be a reason

#

Car crash, unintentional, would land you 5-10 years if I remember correctly

fierce arch
#

nato gets a bad rep because of the countries part of it but honestly its done a lot of good

split aurora
#

The police ruled it Death by Dangerous Driving as the official charge

lilac sparrow
#

Yea

#

Was it proven she was driving on the wrong side as well?

split aurora
#

Yeah, by CCTV

#

and her own admission

lilac sparrow
#

Did your country already try her for this

#

Only asking because we do have double jeopardy where we will also refuse to send her back if she was already found not guilty once for this crime

#

If not I guess this entire case was lost in politics

split aurora
#

We can't "try" her without her being here

#

There was a civil case in Virginia, US, where the Dunn family got an undisclosed monetary payment

#

In  March 2021, Sacoolas' lawyer Amy Jeffress said that, since the charge pending in Britain against her would not usually result in a prison sentence in the US, her client was not inclined to return to the UK to face trial. Jeffress also said that her client would be willing to undertake community service in the US and make a "contribution" in his memory, as well as meet his family.

#

Shithead.

#

Sadly it seems she's gonna get away with it

lilac sparrow
#

If that’s the case then there is nothing that can be done

split aurora
#

The only possible card we could pull is

#

"We'll trade Assange for Sacoolas"

fierce arch
#

is this a like one time situation or does it happen often

lilac sparrow
#

She can still be tried in criminal court

split aurora
#

But we already agreed to give up Assange

#

In the 1980s there was a big protest outside the Libyan embassy jn London

#

one embassy worker fired a gun out the window

#

and hit a nurse in the crowd

#

because of diplomatic rules... our police couldn't enter the building

#

or arrest the shooter

#

without the permission of the Libya Government

#

who said "lmao no"

#

so we expelled the entire embassy, and relations have never recovered

#

Diplomats travelling to embassies are allowed to carry Diplomatic Bags

#

Which cannot be legally searched or checked

#

by the host nation

#

on entry or otherwise

#

that's been abused to smuggle in guns before

fierce arch
#

diplomatic bags have been used for so much spy shit too lol

split aurora
fierce arch
#

diplomatic rules exist for a reason but they can be easily abused

Theres more then a few stories of people living in embassies

#

during operation just cause, the leader of panama was actually able to hide from the us military by camping out in the vatican embassy

#

they weren’t allowed to enter so they just blasted rock music across the entire embassy until he surrendered

#

at one point the guys on the speakers were taking song requests lmfao

split aurora
#

lmao

#

#

The United Nations General Assembly and the Organization of American States condemned the invasion as a violation of international law.

#

sounds very just guys :p

Watching Zakharova (the spox for the Russian ministry of foreign affairs) answer questions is truly a test of a patience

#

"Ms Zakharova, can you comment on Putin‘s remarks that it is his duty to return what he deems historically Russian territories to Russia?"
"You see, back in Kosovo…" goes on a five minute long rant that completely misses the question
"Will you please answer my question?"
"Oh, also, let‘s talk about referendums in the DNR for ten minutes"

Oh that bitch

I still remember how a maternity house in Mariupol got hit a hour later when she said there were azovs hiding in there

The Russian military says more than 307,420 children have been relocated from Ukraine to Russia since the Feb. invasion began. Moscow presents this as a humanitarian feat, but the admission could serve as evidence in a genocide case, one day. https://t.co/oEXMDGJyFU

(It’s not clear how many of these kids were from the self-declared DNR & LNR vs. were removed from more recently occupied territories.)

Оппозиционная фракция консерваторов в бундестаге потребовала "немедленно и заметно" увеличить поставки тяжелых вооружений Украине "как в количественном, так и в качественном отношении". Проект резолюции может быть рассмотрен на следующей неделе.
