@ZoeGutier I have a leather jacket (motorbike style) from h&m which is closing on 20 years, still looks and wears great. Trashing a whole brand doesn't make sense, they sometimes have great stuff, sometimes garbage
@osintPk I wonder if americans realize how little of this force projection would be possible in practice without their network of allies and their logistical support.
@IAmLA40 I somehow doubt a Sicherheitsdienst (SD) Hauptsturmfuhrer would tremble before, or consider a Wehrmacht Major a superior. They were the top level of the Nazi security aparatus, answering only to Heydrich and Himmler himself.
@Mariu55vensson@AchillesRenault@CCrowley100 that "swinging" is actually how the polish saber (szabla) was used. The fighting style is called "krzyżowa sztuka" (cross-cutting). It's very different than western sword fighting style.
@AchillesRenault@CCrowley100 The duel in the movie is almost move-by-move depicting the one in the book. All the "flourishes", hand changes, throws, are depicted like this by the author. As for the swinging, read about the polish Szabla, this was actually the fighting style with that weapon
@LJamesRice@CCrowley100 It would have been, if Wolodyjowski wanted it. He didn't though. He was playing with Kmicic, such was the skill difference between the two. The moment Kmicic says "finish it, spare me the shame", he gets it. Read the book.
@ArchmagosKiran@oldstocky "boy", I live in Romania, I've been in the army, and I know the training and level of conscripts. Conscripts were not doing shooting drills, they were gathering crops. Stop talking about things you have no idea about.
@Mylovanov so... let me get this straight. If, hypothetically speaking, Russia can protect Crimea and Donbas better than Ukraine, they have the right to take them?
@clashreport The numbers are completely irrelevant. The presence from each of those countries matters. They're not there to fight, they're there to send a simple message: you f*ck with Groenland, you f*ck with all of us.
