There is definitely some criticism justified. But it's about balanced criticism, as the other poster said, rather than seeing everything in binary categories
Large scale production of Napalm should be a walk in the park for Ireland.
Which I wrote in my comment "or if Putin will convince Belarus to enter the war separately"
Again we don't know if Belarus will enter the war or not. I've never come across any info that Putin has two weeks to live, there are some rumours he's had medical issues, there are videos of him not looking well at all, however these are rumours and speculation.
We don't know.
Reserve tanks can't be sent til 2024, operational stock from the army could be sent immediately or Ukrainians trained up in them.
We all know why Germany is not sending them, it's the same reason that they have prevented others sending them, prevented others sending other equipment at various stages.
There will be great ingenuity in finding ways to avoid sending them for as long as possible.
Rhemmeintal are a private company,
They aren't the German military,
It's like asking the US to send F35s to patrol Ukrainian skies and Lockheed Martin saying sure it could take 3 years for us to send a few aircraft, when there is over 800 F35s operational now
Lost her son in Dnipro
Putting faces to the massacre in Dnipro:
A Russian missile killed two young mothers in Dnipro who were best friends
"I can't believe it... Pain and tears. Dnipro. Volunteer, highly professional dentist Olga Usova, who was my doctor after our rotation, is already in heaven... The little son and dad remained an orphan, as well as her friend Irina Solomatenko, who also died... Olya is a very kind woman, intelligent, sincere, who helped the Armed Forces so much and everyone she could... And she died from a Rashist rocket... Olya left behind a bright memory, and Russia is forever Mordor, which must be erased from the face of the earth, "said Andrei Belyak
, a friend of the deceased Olga
I hope that promised revenge is served very cold indeed.
Hypothetical case,,,,Putins 3 day war had worked, and shortly after, he is on the border of East Germany...... and Scholz calls the military and tells them I want those Leopard's on the border, and I want then now!!! Only to be told, Herr Scholz, sorry to report, but ze Leopards are all in ze Workshops...maybe next month?
Tbh JM I'd not be surprised one little bit if that was actually something that could happen. Since the Cold War a lot of kit was mothballed, and more, attitudes shifted from readiness to ah sure what's going to happen.
Zombies-
Interesting. The lass in the biege coat was pretty forthcoming. What strikes you about such vids is that the old are usually gung ho(then again they know they won't be the ones dying), the young tend to stay quiet and dodge the questions. The fear of saying anything is palpable, even on the pro putin vids where they stick to the script, but it's pretty clear quite the number of young Russian people are not happy campers.
Yeah, even miles away from Moscow and the Kremlin, Putins octopus of intimidation runs deep.
So basically, are all these German tanks effectively worthless??? Maybe that's the reason Scholz is delaying? Trying to get at least some of them operational? If they were that bad, why would that even be on the donation list?
"I'm not political" might be a euphemism for 'fuq Putin'. It is the easiest way out though.
What exactly would you like European nations to do? Declare war on Russia?
Why not .? Besides the use of nuclear weapons, what can they do ?.... they cannot even take a town in Ukraine at this stage
That's pretty much what some want, they think it would be a conventional war, over in a matter of weeks/months with minimum casualties.
The reality would be nuclear Holocaust, hundreds of millions dead and a century of hunger and death all over the world.
War fetishism from lads that wouldn't volunteer at a charity shop never mind actually go out and fight.
The feeling of helplessness in these videos is also noticeable. The interviewees feel the country is so oppressive and autocratic that even if millions of people took to the streets to protest, it wouldn't have the slightest impact on Putin. We're talking about an out and out dictatorship. I'm always amazed that the western Putin bots adore the regime, but I guess they are all closet authoritarians who don't like this old democracy malarkey and would much rather live in a dictatorship under a despot type.
We have been hearing the same argument from the same people in some cases for 9 + years we can't stand up to putin,we have to sit back and let putin do whatever he wants because putin has nukes ,
Let not try stop the invasion,he has nukes , let's not put a no fly zone over Ukraine before this all starts ,he has nukes, let's not help Ukraine their all far right neo Nazi's and corrupt,but he has nukes....
We're all going to die ........
I read somewhere recently that in the muddy winter conditions found across much of Ukraine even more mobile vehicles like fully tracked main battle tanks can be fairly immobile in the mud. I don't trust what I see announced in social media is the full stry of what is happening on the ground. If I was organising a counteroffensive against the russians in Ukraine the last thing I would be doing is announcing exactly what equipment they are going to be facing. What is announced in social media is going to be known to the russians. Whatever NATO equipment is being sent to Ukraine, I see no reasons the russians need to know anything about it until its grinding down their positions occupying parts of Ukraine.

Send him home ....
He wants asylum, sense of humor at least
Russian s300s deployed close to the Belarusian/polish border,
How sick would it be if they were used to launch attacks on ukraine
NATO countries need to send their tanks to Ukraine. If the will is there we could have thousands of Abrams, Bradleys, Challenger 2, Leopard 2, AMX-10, rolling in formations and blasting their way to Mariupol.
And?
What contingencies have you considered?
These are the same clowns who complain about big government and erosion of their civil liberties. Then they hold up Putin as an hero to their cause. You couldn't make it up.
No ones asking anyone to declare war. They're merely asking them to supply the military equipment needed. Why is it ok for Iran to supply thousands of drones, or DPRK to send shells and artillery but off limits for the west to supply Ukraine. Typical bullshít Russian double standards.
I hear Pampers is on sale in Tesco. Be quick!
Contingencies?
The contingencies are they are already on the way. All are now being supplied by NATO leaders,

You've been beating that dead horse since February yet here we all are, no closer to annihilation than we were then. Time to find another irrational fear.
