Re: Russian/Ukraine War Discussion Thread V
I have never watched that movie from start to finish. My mom used to watch it a lot when I was young and always shoo'd me out of the room. I will have to watch it soon.

Re: Russian/Ukraine War Discussion Thread V
The Apocalypse Now Redux Version is a much better version IMO. Apocalypse Now Redux is a 2001 American extended version of Francis Ford Coppola's 1979 war film Apocalypse Now. Coppola, along with editor & longtime collaborator Walter Murch, added 49 minutes of material that had been removed from the initial theatrical release. It is a re-edit of the original version. |

Re: Russian/Ukraine War Discussion Thread V
Wanted to say this for a while, lets take a look at some factors as to why Ukraine has no chance of defeating Russia at this point in my opinion: 1. Russias military industrial complex is now running 24/7 producing munitions, guns and tanks while Ukraine has no military industrial complex. Ukraine relies strictly on charitable handouts. No army can survive long off of charity no matter the size of the contributions. 2. Russia has implemented a brilliant military strategy even though it may not look like that to the naked eye. Russia knows they cannot take Ukraine at this time so instead they built impenetrable defenses over the past year rendering Ukrainian forces virtually powerless to make any further significant gains like they did back in September. Ukraine should have gone all the way when they had the chance. That window has now closed. And because of all the money and equipment donated to Ukraine, they must continue to make moves, there is simply too much pressure on them to keep this war at a stalemate. Because of this, Russia is simply going to bleed Ukrainian forces dry by consistently defending occupied territories from Ukrainian counter attacks, while inflicting catastrophic losses on UA forces. Once Ukraine is depleted of men of fighting age, Russia will simply move right in and take Kyiv without a fight. This of course will not happen this year or next year. Russia will maintain this strategy for the next 4-5 years. They are experts at dragging out long term conflicts. 3. Ukraine has already lost a significant amount of men not far off from what Russia has already lost in the war. Won’t be long until they start recruiting 16 year olds to the fight. Russia meanwhile has a population three times the size of Ukraine and is for the most part fully behind the war and willing to lose millions of men all in the name of victory. Only chance now that Ukraine has of successfully pushing Russia out of its territory is if NATO enters the conflict, in which case it will be World War 3 and we will all be dead anyway, so we know that’s not going to happen. If I am wrong then I will own up to it, but I doubt that I am, and I think what I pointed out here is already playing out, sooner than I thought it would. |

Re: Russian/Ukraine War Discussion Thread V
Cool, so, if victory's assured anyway, why don't you and Faust go ahead, sign up with the ruSSian army, and throw yourself at Ukrainian guns? Ah, yes, the might of the Soviet war machine, dusting off T-55's while Ukrainians train on American-built Abrams. If you Soviet simps had a nickel for every time you lie about shit, maybe you wouldn't be so desperately jealous of Western wealth. Yeah, you two are the real winners in this war |
