The Ukrainian War V: Tanks For The Memories

[Fractalnavel]

Benefit of the doubt: maybe it was a historical reenactment parade - ? Theme music: "the way we were".

[Stellar Colonies]

Perhaps Ukraine could have donated some of Russia’s tanks back for the parade.

Then they could be involuntarily returned on the battlefield.

Even if it was a historical reenactment parade, it's an awfully lacking one.

By that logic, it'd make sense for an American Revolution parade to be just 10 dudes in uniforms on both sides, with General Washington wielding a foam cosplay variation of King Bradley's sword in place of a sabre while riding on a donkey.

How patriotic can that make you?

I dunno, it's going to take some time for all those tractors to tow back the broken down, deserted tanks nobody's bothering to repair.

What a truly pathetic display by the increasingly pathetic Russian government.

The singular thing I miss about the Trump admin, is that he would've scheduled a parade for today, and trotted out every top of the line thing he could just to piss in Putin's Cheerios.

If Trump was President he'd have visited Moscow to congratulate Putin on the biggest military parade in history and got on RT to complain that the Democrats won't let him have a big parade.

It's fair to ask whether Russia would be faring this badly in Ukraine with Trump as the American President, but assuming it had, Trump would totally kick him while he was down, he's exactly that kind of person tbh.

Trump certainly has no loyalty to anyone, there is that.

Yeahhh probably, but let's imagine trump didn't simp for dictators for half a second

With Putin we can't be sure if this is:
- Deception pure and simple
- A move to take the public into a new phase of the war through a sobering take on the reality of war costs
- A genuine worry about security of the parade (now if that's the case, what the hell does that mean!?)

It's pretty obvious that Russia wouldn't have done this if Trump were still in power.

When Russia invaded Ukraine, Trump praised the genius of Putin's actions.

On what basis? djt's limp and withered one ball?

Yes? Why wouldn't he? He wasn't President, so it wasn't as if the invasion occurred on his watch.

If he were President, do you really think his superiority complex would've allowed him to stand by as Russia invaded Ukraine? No.

Russia knew this, and would not have done it if Trump was in power.

Stand by? No, definitely not. We'd just be sending tanks to the other side.

The only reason the invasion does not happen if Trump is in power is if Vladdy P is too busy getting the sloppy jaloppy from him.

Pretty much his entire outlook on Russia was wanting Vlad-senpai to notice him, so, yes. Obviously.

To be fair he changed his tone around Bucha. I mean most people did, but for Trump it was a bit odd imo. With that in mind yeah there's no way Trump would let Europe support Ukraine militarily or economically, much less support the Ukrainians himself.

Fascists are fascists. They're bad regardless of who they fight for or who they believe in. "Reasons" don't matter when the result is Nazis.

The topic is the Russian invasion of Ukraine, not your own personal shortcomings.

The topic we were discussing was the Azov batallion, which is very much related and connected to the topic. Again, continue to make up boogeymen in your head.

[Theodores Tomfooleries]

Forty-Two.

Dude thinks that Ukraine is preordained to become a vassal-state of one sort or another regardless of the outcome.

Because every alliance is a form of serfdom, obviously.

Even though if Ukraine joined NATO, they'd be the top third largest military in the alliance.

With a military like that, you can even tell your allies to get off your lawn.

As for Russia... has anyone else noticed that the Baikal mainline is under new management?

Ukraine is the third largest military in the alliance... and tell me, who is the second and first largest?

And what would trump do differently than the current president which would prevent an invasion? Biden has probably been doing virtually as much as a US president could do to help Ukraine without causing world war III.
