Sometimes saying something that makes sense. Trying to learn from smarter people and trying to make a little fun to make the hard topics a little lighter.
@the_engi_nerd making this statement. He wants to ready the country/Europe to break free of American weapons dominance, and it will cost society a lot. There will be pain, a lot.

@NotWoofers Unfortunately Ukraine has leaked way to many details about the missile before it was really operational. Russia still has a quite good spy capability.
I would love it when we only hear about a new weapon when we see the smoke coming from a Russian target.
@John_A_Ridge Russia was massively successful in making us all believe that anything was potentially escalatory.
Now we all know it should have been done. The cost is in Ukrainian lives.
@RyanO_ChosenCoy A while ago I suggested to attack civilian planes when parked without passengers to rack up costs for Russia. You blasted me for it being a war crime. What is the difference here ?

@DefenceGeek I recently unfollowed him. With Venezuela there were weeks of posts like "tonight/soon/happening now...".

@RyanO_ChosenCoy@M0nstas It is good he gives the arguments he has, but the tone at the beginning and end is rather distasteful.
To call you an armchair general is rather awkward.
It seems to be a sign of the times that when there is disagreement, you just shout louder and insult.
