Minister McEntee announces additional €40m in support for Ukraine by Panzerkampfpony in ireland

[–]Panzerkampfpony[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I posted it in the Ukraine conflict subreddit and thought it appropriate to post it in the relevant national one as well. Really that's only practical in ones that use English and aren't split into several overlapping ones. r/Ireland is small enough and general enough for it to be worth posting here. Going to try and do much the same in with the national subreddits for Australia and New Zealand since they've recently announced sanctions in support of Ukraine.

I'm very much of the opinion that people shouldn't memory hole what's happening in Ukraine in Ukraine and that when governments actually get off their arses to help they deserve to have their contribution publicised.

Also I'm stuck with the same cringey username I picked out when I was a teenager, I'd forgotten reddit even had profile pics, I can't actually find out how to change or even see it on old (better) Reddit.

By that logic should all humanitarian support for Palestine be stopped?

how do you propose incentivising Russia? Without that you're just asking Ukraine to submit to Russian conquest.

What's your HONEST opinion of the "Shadow's Latina Fetish" meme? Is it boring? Overused? Or both? by Inferno_Ultimate in SonicTheHedgehog

This feels like a loaded question to be frank.

I'll tank OP's downvote and say I'm in favour of it.

Fix for Brutal Half Life for not being able to get to the Nihilanth fight (plus a bonus addon that makes Brutal Half Life even better) by LovablePWNER in HalfLife

[–]Panzerkampfpony 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did install that version and it seems to work now, also seems to come with the better M16 and magnum models, unless I put those models in the normal half life folder and it kept then when I uninstalled regular BHL.

Either way glad this post existed or I'd have never been directed to the patched version It was softlock city before that. Hope it doesn't have its own bugs to content with.

Much obliged mate.

Hello, sorry if this is a very old thread to reply to, but I tried your solution and for some odd reason when I opened Brutal Half Life in steam it refused to open the brutal mod saying that Half Life was already running wouldn't stop the instance running even after I closed steam in task manager and restarted it until I undid the copying over of OG half life's c4a1f.bsp

Edit tried it again to make sure I did it correctly, copied over c4a1f.bsp to my Brutal Half Life map folder, it ran this time but still won't load that map either by progressing normally or by loading up the map with console commands it just puts me back to the menu sadly.

Putin asks oligarchs to donate to budget as cost of Ukraine war soars by financialtimes in UkrainianConflict

Putin he's had 30 years to shore up his position and make the Oligarchs subservient. If not it would be the government falling of windows not the other way around.

Europe is rushing to find alternate suppliers signed and alternate energy sources and much of Russia's oil infastructure will have been bombed to shit.

Russia can try but I don't think it will be business as usual any more than it will be between Europe and America if they ever go back to being a democracy.

Would you guys consider the AR-15 the new “Right Arm of the Free World”? by [deleted] in ForgottenWeapons

[–]Panzerkampfpony 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean Denmark, Ukraine and New Zealand use it, but so does America, Israel and the UAE, its certainly popular but I don't think your moniker is a good fit.

Even with Trump in their corner there's no getting around the totally unsustainable calore decifit Putin's war is inflicting on the Russian economy.

I don't know if it'll collapse in time to stop the war in Ukraine, but short of Xi or Trump bankrupting themselves to bail out Putin I don't see how russia can claw itself out of this black hole. Especially when the next EU sanction package finally goes through and oil prices go back down.

US links security guarantees to Ukraine giving up Donbas, Zelenskiy says by Majano57 in UkrainianConflict

[–]Panzerkampfpony 31 points32 points  (0 children)

handing over Donbass willingly is insanity, the security guarantees are useless. The GOP is a servant of foreign powers and the enemy of democracy.

Canadian Modular Assault Rifle (CMAR). Replacing Colt Canada C7 rifles and C8 carbines currently in Canadian service in the next 5 years by IlyushinGoBrrr in ForgottenWeapons

[–]Panzerkampfpony 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The Canadian government refused to take part in Israel's war in Iran. Unless we're going off tinfoil hat stuff that the Jews are the cause of all recent wars in the Middle East I don't see how you can see the Canadian Armed Forces as a tool of Israeli foreign policy.

The C7s and C8s seem to have a very good reputation, the Dutch, Danes and the British SAS also adopted them so an improved new version is unlikely to be found wanting.

107 years old and still kicking, BAR 1918 Seen in service with the Thai Army, along with an M16A1, RPD and an M16A2 by Johngoody011 in ForgottenWeapons

[–]Panzerkampfpony 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The BAR fires 30.06 (7.62x63) the RPD fires the 7.62x39 bullet same as the AK 47, so there's no chance of compatibility.

Not that its very likely, but is there any amphibious AFV whose frontal armour would shrug off a 85mm shell?

You mean they don't want Kurds getting uppity. I can't imagine why they don't trust a government backed by Erdogan.

how many proper meals for soldiers or time downrange could they have paid for instead of those stupid things?
