With Fox now having one of their own injured, I wonder if they'll change their tune. Sadly I doubt it. And sadly it wasn't Cucker. But that would first require him having a pair to actually go anywhere dangerous first.
Ukraine is saying the missile that hit Donetsk was Russian, not theirs. Given other false flags, it is possible though I doubt there is a way to find out.
I don't know. A lot of these people are poor and haven't got much. And dying for your home could give them more purpose than most of them have every had. Plus, most of these people believe there is something better waiting for them. I mean, I'm not a Republican and I believe that too, but that's not the point. The point is: Dying is easy when you ain't got shit, believe you are doing it for something, and believe you will get something better than what you had for doing it.
It is 99% certain to have been Ukrainian. I mean, let's take a logical look at things. First, Ukraine used Tochka's against cities/close to them back in 2014/2015, second, Russia has fully rearmed to Iskanders for some time already, remaining Tochkas were put into reserve, third - Ukraine has fired artillery on Donetsk all those years and especially now after the war started. Why stage a false flag for something like that? It's nothing new. Russia being comically evil is an easy excuse, but not a logical one.
Add to this the drone which fell in Zagreb. Unless Russia has managed to give the old Tu-141 more range just for false flag, assuming they still had left any after spending them for target practice then it could have only been launched from Western Ukraine (50 year old crap, inertial navigation likely failed and here you go, no specific malice by Ukraine). Add to that other Tu-141's from Ukraine falling in Russia and Crimea - most likely used for wasting AA missiles/covering Tochka launches as false targets.
Oh yeah, and it flew over Hungary, making Russian launch even more impossible.
Welcome to war, it sucks.
Conversely, any invasion of the US would likely focus on rich urban areas which are predominantly Democrat.
Sure as fuck the GoP "militias" wouldn't be lining up to defend those urban areas. There'd be a lot of "I'm gonna defend this bit of dirt that nobody in their right mind would bother taking" and patting themselves on the back for it.
Like, grats, dude, you've "defended" Bumfuck, Nowheresville. That'll show 'em.

On top of the fact that if a foreign army was going to march through their rural town, these bumpkins wouldn't know where or when the army would roll through. That's why intelligence is important. You can't set up a proper ambush if you don't know where the enemy will be coming from. But let's say he got lucky and camped out on the one road the day the convoy rolls through, as soon as he took that first shot the armored vehicles would be on him. But wait! He has his buddies from his hunting club to camp out with him!! Sure, they take out a few soldiers but these bumpkins likely won't be making it out alive. And unless there's more groups of bumpkins up the road to do the same thing the convoy will just keep rolling through.
Absolutely! Couldn't agree more! Those poor Neanderthal GoP Trump losers should defend the rich Democrats urban areas because other than that they have no real value anyway.
No, they should help defend on the front line, rather than leaving fellow Americans to their fate while limiting their defense to areas of no strategic importance.
You can bet the rich urban areas will be helping to defend the entirety of the US, not just the rich urban areas.
But your low-effort sarcasm is noted.

I wasn't being sarcastic. I completely agree. Let the unintelligent apes be on the frontline while us incredibly talented and intelligent lads sit comfortably safe in our urban areas. Because why protect our urban areas when we have these low IQ disposable tRump supporters to use? They protect us on the frontlines and they will take massive casualties. This will lower their voter turnout too so that evil Trump will never come back! This is war after all and we all need to make sacrifices. Our young especially need to sacrifice more so our old politicians can add another zero in their bank account.
Great call on using those disgusting peasants as cannon fodder I wouldn't have thought of that myself!
Probably better for the planet too.
This is a weird post. On the one hand you keep repeatedly telling us that it's impossible to tell what's going on in Ukraine with any accuracy. Fog of war and all that. Then you fall over yourself ruling out the possibility that this could have been launched by Russia, despite explaining in this very post that these missiles used to be used by Russia, meaning they could easily have brought one out of their old stores for this very purpose.
They also have a history of making false flag attacks, including some well documented (and laughably amateurish) attempts in the early days of this war.
Yet you manage to be 99% certain that it's Ukraine that fired this.
It's an odd position to be so certain about, and does raise questions about what is driving your posts here.
When challenging a Kzin, a simple scream of rage is sufficient. You scream and you leap.

Did they run out of the expired Cold-War era MRE's already? I guess those videos of Russian conscripts knocking on doors and asking for food might have more validity to them than I thought.
Seriously though, outside of nukes will anyone take the Russian military with any level of seriousness for the next few decades?
