Which global war made UK a superpower?

Meh, there are about 1000 m*scovite soldiers there and that’s about it, everyone else is mostly old people and people with 3+ passports. But if they are going to attack - good for them finally that fucked up appendix will be destroyed. Both Moldova and Ukraine will win from dissolution of this ‘state’.

Racoons are cool, good thingn that I’m not using it.

I really shouldn’t have posted that id cover photo at all, it was heat of the moment thing.

Lemmy is full of (mental) children pretending to be commies and supporting m*scovia and china, m*scovites themselves are pretty rare in my experience (or blocked by piefed instance dunno).

nesc@mastodon.social Yeah, I’ve made an account 5 or whatever years ago specifically to create a deepfake. Whatever, you’ll somehow invent another dumb shit to accuse me of. You are really exhausting and unpleasant person.

I’m really getting tired of speaking in circles, and this thread goes nowhere, but I’ll bite.

Old asian guy was summoned because you are reiterating idea that m*scovites are dumb and inept and can’t adjust. They are neither, they are - insidious, callous to their own, and deadly serious about prosecuting whis war. They won’t collapse in a matter of weeks, due to sanctions or singular (they are singular, hundred small strikes a day is nothing) long range strikes that will stop their oil operations, or men shortage. And in the event of immenent collapse of their empire every other country would support them as long as needed so they can continue to exist. That was the point that I’m reiterating third time in this thread.

I don’t get what are you trying to say in the second part of your message. I’m a deepfake? Everyone who isn’t extremely upbeat about fighting a war with regarded fucks that can’t just nuke themselves and command that actively sabotages our effort is secretely m*scovite?

I’ve really preferred oxygen theme to the current kde one, didn’t know that it’s still alive.

You what? Where did you find “googled photo of a passport”? I’ve literally made a photo of military id with Ukrainian camo pattern (ММ-25 - 25 here means year it’s sorta multicam but with different colors, became standard codified pattern) pants made in 2026 lying on the floor, if you can google it I’ll eat my hat.

I’m not denying that m*scovites has online presence and that they use direct propaganda, inderct approaches, FUD and a lot of other psychological methods, in which message did I deny such a thing? Stop trying to argue with voices in your head and read what I’ve actually written.

I’ve never even pretended being a military expert, I’ve literally written it in another reply. Stop looking for your online friends in every account, I don’t know nor read a single post from soviet glorifying instances since year or more that I’ve found out how vile they actually are and not just pretend commies.

I have no idea who davel is, I’m not a high military strategist, average guy conscripted into military, before that I worked in IT. What you describe isn’t a win condition, it’s a cope that will prolong this war for another round and we probably will collapse by the end of this round. I’ve moved out of occupation twice, this war goes for most of my adult life (last 12 years). Sorry if I’m a bit less optimistic about m*scovia collapsing soon due to devastating whatever, that surely will work this time. Only real deterrent is nukes - a lot of them, but our only plant that can easily give us usable nuclear device in a months is closed. Because Chernobyl scary.

You should try reading Sun Tzu, swell guy, for his time, he explained in plain terms things like: you should supply your army, it’s better not to go into obvious trap, etc., among other things there are statements about not dismissing abilities of your enemy. I do get it that you aren’t in military and probably really far away from this war, so any news that you get are extremely biased in the direction of “soon this conflict will end and everything will return to how it was”. Anyway, yes, we are in strategic offence, in no way does it make this our win. There is a single win condition for Ukraine as a nation - collapse of the fucking empire, and nobody will allow this. It will be preserved in some way. Win condition for m*scovia is essentially obtained, proles will gladly eat whatever, biggest cities are alright - nobody cares about some siberian or whatever natives dying. And we are under constant pressure to not hurt the enemy too much under threat of witholding help.

Reality holds a realpolitik bias, so we are being supported just enough so we won’t fail too fast but not enough to win in any meaningful way (cue kherson offensive plans leaking out and blocked by unpredictable chain of events that slowed down material supplies, zaporizzha offence being stopped and other funny stories).

And, yes, criticizm is normal, our president is a strongman-pussy and we should have made not nukes, god forbid, it’s alien technology unubtainable with modern technology, but at least our own artillery gunpowder plants, our own shells made by millions a month, other things that don’t require alien technology from the last hundred years in some measurable quantities and not in the last year or so (supposedly).

Ask yourself why is it that units themselves manufacture Blyskavka/Molniya/Lightning drones for example. They cost less than $500 apiece, can fly up to 50 km with tank mines, making one requires close to zero technical knowledge, any workshop can make them by hundreds every month. And we are using our own money, and limited time, and limited resources to make them. So yeah, I think there are plenty of reasons to view our efforts as half-assed at best and treasonous at worst, when facing an enemy that has tens of millions of people in reserve and aren’t afraid to use them.

Design itself isn’t that hard to get, actual manufactoring is far more important and requires a lot of expertise in my opinion.

There is a huge dependence on chinese (no matter what flavor) components, everyone should step up their localisation efforts if they want to be at least somewhat independent. If your country can make something like esp32 (even if not as small or powerful) completely at home it’s a huge win.

And they were constantly attacked all that time, insane. Ottomans were fucked as well , no one actually came better from that siege.

What? Linux is the dominant OS right now.

Now show a similar photos with a military id, lol. (fyi camo on the background is ММ-25, and the costume itself is штурм-1 iirc which are very recent and won’t be in any ai training materials)

Anyway, what I was trying to explain in my first post that you dismissed as pro-m*scovian propaganda, is that 1) most ‘analysts’ operate from very far away and with very limited and often public information. 2) m*scovites are dangerous and inhuman to their own 3) they are adapting very well to drone warfare and have a lot of resources put into this war. (examples where they are far ahead of anyone including us are: visual odometry and non-gnss positioning systems, fiberoptics fpv drones, crpa/anti-spoofing gnss antennas) It’s very simple to say meh they are dumb fucks that are going into meatcube, they are, but not all of them. There are sadly plenty of very well trained people and smart engineers. There are “judgement day” pilots and “rubicon” for example and “rubicon” now has like 10 of drone pilot schools, and they train decent pilots by hundreds every month.

m*scovia isn’t struggling, they aren’t losing ground every week, they don’t actually feel the war, it’s not even funny when news report that they are losing and soon there is going to be peace. At best we get another ten years before another war in such scenario.

Dunno, you tell me which country I’m serving.

There is a big gap between what news report and what people in the military see. I’m writing this in english because it’s an english speaking forum, and discussing what I personally see and feel isn’t in any way treasonous.

Because it didn’t halt, m*scovia can and will throw people into war, we literally can’t. Out of 10 conscripts 5 will leave or aren’t fit enough due to medical condition, 3 more will be incapacitated in the first weeks-month after basic training, that leaves 2 at best. And those soviet fucks generals are still there, Syrsky - our commander is one of them. We still train and deploy insane amounts of infantry, our doctrine when it comes to (fpv) drones is behind m*scovites. They are taking remains of dumb Donbas slowly. We are insanely lucky that at least some small amount of sane people can force at least some of the command to do something not out of soviet books. We are lucky that they (enemy) have same problems but worse. And our drone forces are insane in how inefficient they are when it comes to people, because they have almost carte blanche on technical and educated people we are in situation that ground forces (dunno how to translate) are lacking in not just technical but in generally smart people, when drone forces use people with decades of technical experience as simple drone pilots. There are like two people (including myself) in my whole batallion that can deploy vpn and explain what and why are they doing. It’s all very bleak tbh.

Arguably long sieges of the past were worse, e.g. 20 years long siege of Candia.

He can use whatever word he wants, why should anyone care about his preferences?
