  • Fascinating. It's only for laser printers, but the real interesting bit is that they did it for 20 years before it was public knowledge.

  • For one thing, this is a violent land grab. For another, this the effort and will of what... 50 countries? Vs about five: China, Russia, Iran, North Korea, Venezuela. And those 50 countries are on average much more democratic than Russia and it's allies.

  • Why would countries just ignore global authoritarian threats

  • How is this different from someone saying "let's just give Hitler Poland"

    Are you saying the Ukrainians should stop fighting? Is that what you would do if someone invaded your home?

  • No doubt it's complicated, but some key factors are

    • Availability of ammunition (cluster munitions may help here)
    • Destroying artillery before advancing (the daily numbers have been looking good)
    • Removing mines before advancing
    • Disabling logistics (e.g. strikes on bridges, warehouses)
    • Waiting for a lucky opportunity

    It doesn't cost them much to do things slowly, but keeping the Kremlin on its toes and embarrassed is good. The longer Ukraine holds on, the more equipment they get, like F-16s, Abrams, and ATACMS.

  • I wouldn't call it anything yet, Ukrainians haven't even used the bulk of their fresh troops and equipment.

  • Yes, I'm not arguing that the US is good, I'm saying I prefer it to having the authoritarians take over.

    • NATO's latest moves could bottle up much of Russia's naval power

    Jump

  • Yeah, if there was an actual war with Russia vs all the NATO countries, they'd only be able to sail from Murmansk and way over near Vladivostok

    • I thought about doing it
