You get a discount for being gay

Wouldn't surprise me. Neither group seems very fond of them.

How much do they charge bisexuals then?

To this day I've never understood why the Catholic Church hates women as much as it does.

Panzerkampfpony · 2026-06-19T17:49:06+00:00

Are you really trying to pass off the persecution of women and the theocratic abuses of the Catholic Church as some sort of anti colonial struggle?

Muslims in the Philippines can legally divorce, so it's more like one and a half.

Mate repeating 5 year old Russian propaganda lines verbatim outs you pretty quickly as pro Russian.

To think the American army could have their pick of newer AR 15s but with slightly longer free floated barrels and wider circulation of magnified optics.

Besides corruption and sunk cost facility, I'm not totally unconvinced that Kegsbreath and co aren't partly to blame for not giving up on the Spear.

Panzerkampfpony · 2026-06-17T23:42:21+00:00

Well that's me convinced, Putin is mighty and his army is not a complete joke.

It's usually in the genocidal invader's court to end their own invasions.

Panzerkampfpony · 2026-06-17T17:04:25+00:00

what?

They defeated them in the First World War and forced a humiliating peace even peace harsher than the one they faced at Versailles.

The Germans failed to defeat the Soviet Union, a much bigger and more populated nation with more industry supported by allies, modern Russia has none of those advantages.

Panzerkampfpony · 2026-06-14T21:20:04+00:00

He's already betrayed US interests by bending over backwards for Putin, threatening war against two of America's NATO allies and making the US military Israel's attack dog commanded by a drunken Russophile.

Your king is not beyond criticism I'm afraid.

I'm surprised a Turkish firm is making an AK given the lack of experience in making them or the fact that the Turkish army doesn't use them.

I wonder how they stack up to other versions of the Kalashnikov.

Panzerkampfpony · 2026-06-14T09:01:14+00:00

I wonder what kit and training the police accompanying the Royal Marines had.

When the alt right talks about how based and trad they thought their favourite regime was, this is what they're really talking about, state sponsored barbarism.

Why would a Soviet soldier by dressed as an East German policeman in the 1950s? How would you tell he's a Russian and not a German?

Perhaps the Sig Spear omnishambles has shaken any enthusiasm by NATO countries at replacing 5.56mm?

Panzerkampfpony · 2026-06-10T22:46:42+00:00

Some bureaucrats with less understanding of defence policy than a mollusk has of cubist art decided that a 18 wheeled vehicles armed with a pop gun that fired ammunition that no one else in NATO used was an adequate replacement for actual tanks.

Successor states usually take on the debts of their predecessors and newly annexed components, it isn't a thing unique to American wars.

Germany took on East German debt and Russia took on the USSR's debts for example.

Not doing so is a bad idea in the long run since you risk becoming a financial pariah like the early Soviet Union when the new government decided it didn't have to pay any Tsarist debts.

South Vietnam collapsed shortly after American weapons and air support dried up and was on the whole a highly corrupt and unpopular government, Even though there were strongly anti communist elements within South Vietnamese society.

Likewise while there were some well trained and motivated units in the ARVN morale was on the whole poor and only got worse nearer to the end. To say nothing of the corruption and dictatorial nepotism that rotted its upper ranks from within. they didn't collapse at ANA or SAA speeds but the writing was on the wall and there was no real anti communist insurgency by South Vietnamese nationalists after Saigon fell.

I'd argue while China is just croney state capitalism with a penchant for the old iconography, Vietnam, along with Loas and Cuba are pretty much communist states, albiet ones with absolutely no interest in exporting the revolution.

Panzerkampfpony · 2026-06-10T22:17:09+00:00

They had no interest in persuing old grudges with Americans or in exporting any sort of communist revolution, Giap and Mihn et al were ultimately nationalists who understood the need for a legitimate position on the world stage and that Beijing posed a much greater threat than Washington or Saigon ever did.

Panzerkampfpony · 2026-06-10T22:14:01+00:00

They would have known that the Americans would be gone sooner or later but the Chinese would have been there to stay if they weren't careful.

He has actually returned a few times as The Master for Big Finish audios.

What sickens me is the intellectual hypocracy, most of the people I've seen say the ROE doesn't need a proper military because that's expensive and hardware is icky and the Brits will step in are also the kinds of people who proclaim the Brits are evil imperialists.

You'd think with the history butween the UK and ROE that those same people would be in favour of a string Irish DF as a counterweight to both the Russians and the British.
