You understand that if Ukraine didn’t have to ration their ammunition, they would be able to repel Russia without much problem. It’s not an issue with manpower in the slightest. Also Xi has told Putin not to use nuclear weapons, and Putin has to do what Xi wants (unless Xi gives him a sock).
Yes but a well placed himars strike can turn 100 russians into 0. The problem is that Ukraine has to ration their ammunition. The reason Russia is taking ground at all is because they just have more meat than Ukraine has bullets.
Russia is using donkeys for frontline logistics and sending battalions of severely wounded/disabled people into battle to soak up bullets. They also don’t rotate people off the frontline like, ever. They’re not doing ok. Yes they’re taking a small amount of ground, but they’re bleeding themselves dry to do it.
China sees themselves as top dog in the world. The name for China in mandarin Chinese translates to “the central kingdom”. They want to exert economic control over the world rather than military. They want to be the country that all the other countries go to for help. Essentially they want the USA’s old job.
Pretty sure its P for pedofile not pee.
Agreed. I have my piano wire at the ready just in case.
Or… Trump can pull the us military out of Europe, Canada joins the EU, and we seize American and russian assets to build a truly massive army.
Regrettably
Pretty sure they didn’t vote for him either.
After Hitler built a cult for himself, some senior nazi officials tried to assassinate him in operation Valkyrie. They didn’t think they would be able to retain popularity without him unless he died a martyr, in which case whoever took over would be able to use it as a rallying cry. If trump is assassinated, that’s exactly what Vance will do.
What the tech Bros think they’re heading for is nazi Germany. But don’t forget they’re in bed with the fundamentalists. You’re actually looking at a Christian version of modern day Iran. Once musk and trump have exerted control over the population, they’ll be “taken care of” and you’ll get Vance for the next 11 years.
Russia only cares about Moscow and st Petersburg. Britain and France have more than enough to turn those two cities into glowing glass craters.
One of you should learn to shoot straight.
Colour me shocked.
Unless you get good with a sniper rifle its going to stay screwed for ever. Or if you actually have the gall to try to annex one of your neighbours. Then we’ll take care of your problem for you.
If it’s the only way to expell the Americans? Sure. I’m not sure you fully grasp how much Europeans hate inviting the USA to every party. Like if you take all the worst aspects of Germany and amplify them and then make them speak English, that’s the USA. I’m not just talking about the fascism.
He wants to hire them to work in “acquisitions”.
First off the suicide rate in the Nordic countries (with the very notable exception of Greenland) is actually lower than the states. It’s just higher than other parts of western Europe.
Second, Norway has a larger proportion of the population in active service than the states. Much larger when you include reservists. Also there is national service here so in a pinch a large proportion of the population can be called up.
You have to consider that Norway has a. Population of 5.5m so you should ask how Norway stacks up against Atlanta (met area).
As for the equipment I have no idea what we spend it on. But the navy seems pretty well equipped and the air force uses f35s so I guess it’s mostly up to date. Also Norway isn’t the easiest place to invade geographically. None of the roads are really good enough to drive tanks on. And the whole country is connected by bridges and tunnels which are easily collapsed if necessary.
Also there is very tight cooperation between Norway, Sweden, Finland and Denmark. So you really can’t look at any one of those countries in isolation.
The annual return on Norway’s sovereign wealth fund is over 100 billion euros. So there’s that. It’s really not going to impact us if a chunk of that is used to buy weapons. The money is just getting reinvested for a rainy day and it looks a lot like it’s shitting it down rn.
Does that include the ballot images that musk created on his behalf?
