They lost some in Iraq. But not many. And not in a conventional environment.

Thanks, sounds like some losses but not while being manned by US.(?)

I know we lost one in the 2003 thunder runs into Baghdad. Many others were damaged but repairable, the destroyed tank was hit with a French made anti armour HEAT round from a close distance.

Because you can just sneak one under your jacket and walk out of the tank store.

A direct interjection into the war with Russia,

Why?

If they nuke the US, they get nuked in return.

If they nuke a NATO member, they get nuked in return.

If they nuke Ukraine, they get NATO or US intervention and get their butts quickly kicked out of Ukraine and probably lose their Baltic and Black Sea fleets, maybe the Med, too.

So exactly what rationale would motivate Putin to escalate directly against NATO or the US?

Straw man: I can’t think of anyone saying Ukraine is winning “handily”.

Always enough to keep it going.

Never enough to end it.

Your handler should give you a brief lesson on how nukes from Russia would reach the US. (Hint: They don’t come over the Atlantic Ocean.) That POS ship with the hypersonic missiles would be sunk before it could burp.

So, if that is indeed true and the war is essentially over, why are the US, Germany and Poland sending tanks to Ukraine?

Because like in WW2, even when it was clear the Germans were going to eventually lose, we had to keep sending ammunition, trucks, tanks, etc to the front.

We built 11,000 M1s. Not sure how many are still serviceable at what upgrade point.

“Biden wants to protect one of the most corrupt countries in the world.”

Where does the US rank on the list of corrupt countries in the world???

- start the list with the Senate and all their ill-gotten gains

Their military will need to be trained …likely by US “advisors” in the field

They can be flown to the US for training or be trained in Poland. No need for US "advisors" in the field

That's just what I have been trying to find... TY!
