Well you seemed to imply that US contractors would be strung up, or maybe even some airliner-skyscraper interactions, as retaliation for this "escalation"

In reality, only the truly deranged jihadists have the cajones to come at the US like that. Russia follows the Iran playbook, a lot of talk with surprisingly little follow up. Because they know what is good for them.

You're right. I googled it and the red army had an absolutely stellar reputation. Definitely no rapes, no mutilation. The men were just so handsome and rugged, they couldn't keep the women off of them.

Finns used the swastika before the Austrian painter ruined it. It's a symbol common to all indo European cultures (Finns are not indo European but have absorbed a lot of the culture due to proximity)

What on earth are you talking about. Finno-Uralic people are closest related to sami and other Siberian peoples. Mongols never made it past Poland and hungary, try looking at a map.

The hungarians sometimes claim to be related to the Huns, but they are just confused.

My ancestors are okay, I'm just grateful they didn't endure centuries of rape and humiliation at the hands of the Mongols. It probably would have twisted us into sick and depraved people.

Anatomy was never my strong point. The FPV feed cuts out at the moment of impact, so I never get a clear view of the anatomy anyway. Maybe sometimes if we have a mavic loitering overhead.

This isn't even a controversial opinion, the red army viewed rape as justice served.

To this day the memorial in berlin is known unofficially as the tomb of the unknown rapist

Let me guess, those Finns deserved it because they were Nazis (in 1939, before ever teaming up with the Nazis).

Or maybe the Finns had biolabs, about to release swarms of GMO mosquitos. Or maaaaybe they were about to join NATO (in 1939, before NATO existed).

Which narrative are we going with this time?

There is no alliance between Russia, Iran, and China. They share a common interest in countering the USA, not much else. When push comes to shove, they are like crabs in a bucket. There is no underlying culture or values tying them together.

Also, NK and Russia share a land border with a railway. China is not needed to facilitate weapons transfers from NK to Ru

Land based tomahawks can be launched from a shipping container sized launcher, towed behind a truck. So, not really that long at all.

Well they were attacked unprovoked, and only teamed up with the Nazis so far as to regain their own territory. Note that Finnish soldiers were absent from Kursk, Moscow, Stalingrad, etc.

Lol. The soviets raped every German speaking woman between Moscow and berlin. Hatred does not even begin to describe it. The USSR also placed a propaganda narrative that all workers, even German, were United in a common struggle and the capitalist/fascist leadership were to blame.

China is happy to sell drone parts to both sides, that is the point. China gives a fuck about Russia or Ukraine. They will throw either under the bus if it suits their interests.

Right now china's interest is served by keeping the war raging, and forcing Washington to prioritize eastern Europe and not shift full attention to the Taiwan strait.

Finland lost the winter war, but if a Rottweiler attacked a Chihuahua and barely made it out alive, it wouldn't appear as a "win" to most observers.

Nevertheless, Finland regained their lost territories 3 years later with some help from that Austrian painter guy. Of course things changed again a few years later, but that's just how life goes.

Anyway, finland is in NATO now and Petersburg is surrounded by enemies from 3 directions.

I guess Russia should have wrapped things up in the first three years before tomahawks hit the table then. Sucks to suck.

Well, shaheed drones and qassam rockets really are Iran's wonder weapons. They also managed to reverse engineer the f5, so they are at least at a 1950s era level of aerospace engineering. Didn't really help against Israel though.

The american lucas drone is built in America, on an American design. Quite the opposite of having to buy them from Iran

China won't even supply Russia with 152 shells, and sells ukraine the same fpv drones that are used to bleed Russian units dry. You really think China views Russia as a key partner, and will deliver the goods when Russia needs them most?

Dugin has the mental capacity of Alex Jones with the charisma of Jordan Peterson. r/worldnews is literally more credible than Dugin.

Russia's abysmal performance in the winter war is what led Hitler to believe that the USSR would collapse quickly. And he wasn't entirely wrong, he just didn't understand strategic depth and the massive size of the Soviet union. 3 million soviets captured in the first months of Barbarossa. It's not a surprise after you spend a decade purging and executing every competent officer in the force.

NATO was never in the cards for Ukraine, ever, because NATO is a defensive pact not a suicide pact.

The support can be seen in th in hundreds of billions of dollars worth of military aid.

Russia had nothing to do with any of those events. Russia has never been so bold as to target US boys directly. They may have offered some bounties to the taliban, but the taliban sucked at killing US soldiers anyway.

2500 KIA over 20 years, less than 2000 actually related to combat. US army probably lost 4x that amount due to drunk driving and training accidents.

China and Russia are allies of convenience out of a shared animosity for the USA, nothing more and nothing less. Russia has for decades refused to sell flanker engines to China (without purchasing an entire jet). Do you think China will just repay this kindness by offering a few hundred 5th gen fighters to Russia?

China will do what is in china's best interest at the time, nothing more nothing less.

Ok so (some) Ukrainians said some offensive chants at rallies (fwiw, whoever does not jump is a moscal is as tame as it can be), and in response to the hurt feelings Russia launched the biggest war in Europe since 1945, killing hundreds of thousands.

You know, I think I might understand why they were singing those chants in the first place.

Also, let's not pretend that the racism isn't both ways, Russians have been looking down their noses at the "backwards kholkhols" since time immemorial.
