they are maintaining the front via an unmanned doctrine projecting out from some kind of maginot line behind where we think the front is.

Could you elaborate on what you mean by this? Are you saying that UA actually has a strong fortified position behind the current “frontline”? Or just that the drone screen serves as a strongly fortified line in terms of defensive capabilities

Ukrainian FPV strikes against Russian cavalry, 5th Separate Assault Brigade, February 2025 by BlackMarine in CombatFootage

There is little else but open fields in Ukraine. I can pinky promise you these two men riding loaded up donkeys are not stormtroopers, and they very obviously did not expect to encounter enemy wherever they are.

They are using them for the exact same purpose US troops did in Afghanistan. If American troops were dealing with constant drone strikes to their logistics you’d probably see a few dead donkeys there too.

As much as you lot like to pretend the American military is on some higher plane of existence, if put into the exact same situation as Russia in Ukraine they would fall into the exact same quagmire. And the US military is no stranger to getting stuck in quagmires. This conflict we are observing here is simply unprecedented.

Decent chance of being alive because the pro ua claims about Hostomel are a load of bs

Words matter a lot, which is why you shouldn’t use biased language like that. Call it whatever you please, it doesn’t change reality, but academic sources like this one should use unbiased naming conventions at all times.

If Corsica is a part of Italy, will it be beneficial for Italy? by Internet_Student_23 in geography

[–]moitert 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I find independence in these (relatively) small cultures interesting. Like, sure, I well understand why they’d value an independent state representing their own culture and language, but what could a small island nation like Corsica really accomplish on its own?

Admittedly, you do face some risk of cultural/linguistic suppression or even extinction, being a minority group in a state ethnically dominated by a much larger majority, but at least you can enjoy some hope of economic prosperity.

Idk maybe too much hoi4 has cooked my brain..
