“Yea and he was 100% sure he could subdue Ukraine and make it a vassal state in 2 weeks.”
Link please.
I guess that will be a good all around test for the system.
Because Ukrainian firing of HIMARS at russians is a common everyday occurrence.
Large HIMARS barrage stocking stuffers for the invaders #HIMARSOCLOCK
You are comparing apples to elephants.
Here is a single HIMAR truck, which can drive around and hide in a forest if it's lucky.
Here is PART of a Patriot battery guarding Tel Aviv. Right out in the open, not hidden, not "mobile" in a tactical sense. It's only "mobile" in a deployment to mission location sense.
“Back when I grew up America was about freedom and liberty, about protecting and defending weaker countries from aggression.”
The America that I grew up in bombed the crap out of Serbia for sport, ignited wars around the world (Syria, Egypt, Libya, and they’re now trying in Taiwan). Perhaps a little spanking in Ukraine will put an end to that aggression.
From a French state-owned newspaper
Always notice the propaganda: the headline is designed only to keep the “2-sides” mentality, the slow-rolling war and money laundering operation, and the acceptance of eventual all-out WOAR, alive and well.
“BTW how’s the weather there in St. Petersburg?”
Kabar is in South Carolina. It’s time to put an end to this Russian-agent junk on FR. So please put an end to the personal attacks, they’re growing old.
“note that this is the same lying doofus who thought he could conquer all of Ukraine in a month”
Link please.
I read these posts and debate with 90% of the anti Ukraine crowd.
The things they post are despicably Anti American.
And now after a year of this you’ll ask me to list it all
It’s constant -
“Our government is more our enemy than any foreign power”
“Everyone is lying except Russia”
“We forced Russia to invade Ukraine”
“I’m behind Putin in this war”
“We are racist because we aren’t fighting in Africa, only Europe”
“Putin is just what’s needed to clean up Western Civilization”
“This isn’t the country it was 100 years ago (duh) and this (AMERICA) is our enemy”
“This is an American plot to invade Russia, start WW3....”
And countless shameless propaganda pieces for our enemy.
IF you ascribe to any of that you are not being patriotic.
And further they NEVER debate the strategic interests of the USA, which they know zero about. It It’s all accusations of the USA being in a “globalist plot” to remove Putin and install homosexuality,one world government etc.
You need to look at your bedfellows. They are NOT America First they are MAGAINO’s - in name only.
“you conveniently forgot to mention that Serbia was attacking countries around them, and massacring civilians”
Link please.
“Russia is protecting the Russian oblasts from mad man Zelinksky. You know him—the new BFF of Hunter and Joe (and Soros and Gates and Schwab).”
I think what might really anger this bunch is that Russia WILL PROTECT its people when in danger, and its friends when they can (like Syria) - while the US leaves them to be conquered, if not massacred (as in Cambodia).
Oh stop your childish nonsense.
Patriot is not designed for hypersonic defense and being destroyed by a hypersonic missile will do NOTHING to change anyone’s mind about the system.
It will do as much to reveal Russian hypersonic capabilities.
Nice try.
Pure propagandist. Talk to your buddy here who just complained about how patriotic he is.
What a joke. Pure Tokyo Rose propaganda 24/7.
Now you’re bringing up Cambodia, which was brought about by your ilk.
“IF you ascribe to any of that you are not being patriotic.”
Being patriotic DOES NOT have to consist of following Biden and his handlers BLINDLY into World War 3.
Americans are, for now, still allowed to gather facts (from sources other than the Western media) and draw their own conclusions, and when you guys can convince us that Ukraine is worth WW3, we might even join your side.
Oh please , Luhansk and Donetsk are majority Ukrainian. My wife is a Russian-speaker from Alchevsk and is a patriotic Ukrainian. Why are you repeating the same fictional Moscow talking points? The Russians spent millions in 2014 creating the fake separatist movement. The atrocities committed by Russians in the Donbas are countless.
“My wife is a Russian-speaker from Alchevsk and is a patriotic Ukrainian.”
The nice thing about these forums as that we can say whatever we want about our personal lives and no one can verify it.
For example, I could say something similar, but opposite, about my wife just as easily, and also claim it to be true.
