In the last months, suddenly, there is a lack of armored vehicles visible on the Russian side. Even though they are currently on an offensive. Why the abrupt lack of tanks and IFVs? Kind of doubt they are completely out of them

Could it be that Russia has saved up its armor for a large mechanized push for their summer offensive now that Ukraine is completely exhausted?

>>63867571
They have been on the "summer offensive" for almost a month now.

At this point it honestly seems like the vatniks are saving their few remaining armored vehicles for internal policing duties.
Very few get sent to Ukraine these days.

>now that Ukraine is completely exhausted?
again? damn it's the third time this war

IF this is true then it’s just going further down the trend of the war to stop caring about armored vehicles and devolving into ww1 style light infantry. Russian front-line troops are peasant minorities whose value in Russian society is basically nothing, just surplus population, unwanted serfs. If neither side has the organizational competence to do large-scale operations, and minefields / drones are everywhere so that even small-scale operations are impossible, why should Russia continue blowing its industrial capacity on armored vehicles which are useless anyway? To protect surplus serfs? All the army can apparently do is walk into defensive positions to spot them for glide-bomb attacks, so why through industrial capacity uselessly into meat recon?

>>63867597
Ziggers will read all of this, agree with it, and then somehow think this isn't a sign that they need to stop trying to win the war on terms amounting to complete Ukrainian surrender

>>63867535 (OP)

Anyway, the only notable thing they've built up is manpower/meat and the various kitbashed civilian vehicles to transport them. Expended in the tens of thousands for several kilometers, per usual.

>>63867707
Where have you been the last two years?

>>63867707
To be fair, North Korea is actually doing really clever stuff. So get this, Russia is running out of food, so they basically forced Belarus to sell them loads of potatoes at a cheap price.... And then Belarus ran out of potatoes due to bad weather last year. So Russia has to find potatoes from somewhere. Guess what North Korea did? They bought loads of potatoes and greenhouse and farming equipment from Russia in exchange for the military aid. Soon North Korea will have a supply of potatoes to give to Russia (what, you expect it to go to the people? LOL) and will be able to exchange them at a much better price in exchange for what they really want - missile tech and other materials they can't get due to sanctions. North Korea has a desperate desire to upgrade their AA systems. Which are by and large sub-10km range Soviet/Chinese 'flak guns'. They do have SAM but they're Soviet/Chinese old stuff BAR their Pongchec (spelling) 5 which I BELIEVE Is a knock-off/domestic developed S-300. There is also rumours of a Pongchec-6 (again, spelling) but nobody knows if it is real or has good capabilities. But North Korea has about 60 SAM sites, mostly around Pyongyang which are in turn protected by about a dozen older 'flak cannons' to prevent helicopters etc from disabling them. So North Korea are desperate for both missile tech to make their nukes be able to hit USA and SAM tech to protect them from potential bombing raids.

So if Kim says 'I give potatoes and you give me S-400 blueprints' then I can see Putin agreeing. Which makes disabling North Korea's shit a lot harder.

Who was in the wrong here?

>>63867649
This is the most likely answer, either that or they are holding back their few working vehicles to prevent a coup or to equip troops on other fronts (e.g. Finland and the Baltics), they have been talking about 'being at war with hato' since the damn war soured for them, and it is the only other option IMO.

Either that or they are throwing them into the wishing well, and hoping their offerings will change their fortunes in Ukraine.

Russia absolutely does not have a surplus of serfs. They were already in a sketchy demographic situation before Monke threw literally over a million men into a garbage disposal, shit is going to go from bad to worse in the next 20 years even if Ukraine 100% collapses and Monke can make a victory speech in Kyiv tomorrow, and that's purely from a demographic perspective, I'm not even including the fact the economy is being held up by toothpicks and the entire Soviet stockpile of vehicles has been emptied.

Norks have actually been trading military aid for an enormous agriculture boom. Starvation hasn't been an issue for them for awhile. They have plenty of rice. What they've been lacking is leafy greens, fruits, and protein. Which Putin's gold just financed.

The era of Norkies being lank manlets is over. Their average height is going to jump four inches and malnutrition drop to European levels in the next 50 years due to this.

>>63867588
that is honestly the most likely answer.

>>63867894
Well, that depends if it actually goes to the people and isn't sold to Russia for more military tech.

>>63867991
It may or may not. What's important is that the infrastructure to keep growing it in enormous greenhouses is there now.

>>63867535 (OP)
They are saving them up to invade the baltics. Its not like they can get through ukraine anyway, so monkes next big gamble is to occupy balts so they can slaughter their males in ukraine and hold them hostage to force an end to ukraine aid

There is a reason balts, soon after agent oranges taco behaviour became clear, started massively fortifying their borders. So it's up to them and poles to break the last teeth of the zigger mongoloid

No, they every so often launch small mechanised assaults on areas they've been struggling with infantry only so they can actually get some infantry in there.
It gives the mobiks some morale to move another 200 meters along with them till they explode.

It's just part of the puzzle, forcing Ukraine to disperse Anti armour along the front instead of just anti personnel drones and snipers, the probe also has a chance of mild gains.

It's all attritional, unfortunately not particularly good attrition.

>>63868289
The DPRK is already a monarchy, honestly he should just go full feudalism. Just leave a commie nametag on it. Perpetually squabbling Dukes are a fine way to keep your power nice and safe and at least if they are actively competing it puts a mandatory cap on corruption because the less corrupt ones will be more successful and outcompetes the really corrupt ones.

>>63867571
Now THAT'S a cope.

Anyway, Russia as lost most of it's armored vehicles, and the economy is so bad that they can't even hide it anymore.
They finally announced the country will face a recession, so they can't keep this for much longer until the country economically collapses.
The west just needs to keep Ukraine alive and kicking, and toughen up on the sanctions.

Those are surplus breathers from Russia’s perspective. Ever notice how NO ONE in Moscow even PRETENDS to care about this mass loss of life? As long as THEY’RE not dying the war is fine, they only care about the inconveniences. Imagine your country went to war, but 90% of the troops who died were brown and black minorities — would you care that much? No you would not. It’s a similar vibe in Russia, except they don’t have such a strict social requirement to virtual signal, so they’ll cheerlead "theirs" but never bother moralizing over the deaths of so many — because to a middle class Russian the peasants are unwanted surplus serfs who should honestly all die, and dying for Russia is the best outcome. When Russia "freed" its serfs it was just a codeword for GETTING RID of their serfs. The elites got tired of having to take care of them. This is the unavoidable fate of all low-IQ populations after the Industrial Revolution — until the West invented the equality religion to politically stymie the overwhelmingly powerful middle class which had arisen from high-IQ populations. I’m not pushing a message, just explaining how the world works.

When ukranians torched their lost tech bombers the leadership immediately defaulted to ukranians operating on MI6/CIA directed op with ukranians as grunts.

Finally, in balts case its not really helpful they cucked to stalins ultimatums in WW2 instead of greeting the "liberators" with winter war 2.0.

Trump is utterly powerless — not just re Ukraine, but national policy overall. Trump could literally make it his singular life’s goal to help Russia and it would make NO difference. Just as no one can seemingly do more to help Ukraine, no one can actually do any LESS. To illustrate how powerless Trump is, Hegseth was forced to eat shit and tell Congress that he "misinterpreted" Trump’s orders to stop military shipments of aid. Why? Because the system was about to rip Trump a new hole for even TRYING to do something not approved by the power structure so Hegseth stood up and pretended to not speak English in order to cover Trump from reprisals. REMEMBER I TOLD YOU?? Trump could NOT stop aid, and that it wasn’t up to him? Who was right, remind me please.

you're not as retarded as all the (You)'s suggest. this would at least make sense, and be wiser to prepare for... however even the 'endless' soviet stockpiles are getting pretty fucking low everywhere except in dagestan and chechnya, and that risks a power imbalance if we end up with a third chechen war. there's a serious risk that if those two split off and dug in that russia would be in trouble there. so i think it's just as likely that the internal politics of russia demand that they not lose any more so that if those two states get rowdy there's still a chance of maintaining power over them...

i stand corrected though, looks like the chechnya ones are a little emptier than they were, and the dagestan ones a bit more full... even so, seeing a few that appear to be getting torn down...

>>63868530
same base in 12/2020, so seems like even the holiest of people in russia are getting at least some of their bases emptied for banan.

>>63868438
You've got it wrong. Trump would have theoretically been able to issue the order to halt aid but solely because it wasn't his order, Hegseth was out of line.

He also has power in the sense that Republican congressmen need to be careful when navigating him. The fervent anti-Trump republicans were almost entirely voted out in primaries post-2016. So guys like Lindsey Graham who would like to see every man woman and child in russia burn via nuclear hellfire, need to be conciliatory now. Though in theory, congress does have the supermajority to override a veto on the sanctions bill.

>>63868530
Kadyrov will remain loyal as he is dying and monke has guaranteed his families safety after he is acked. It will have to be some internal clan power struggle where yearly tribute from muscovia weights less than forming a personal kingdom

what good is a tank in the current meta? they just get spotted while still way back in the operational staging areas and swarmed by drones the second they approach the front

russia's way of fighting might not be the best, and it costs an absolute fuckload of casualties, but it's just about the most effective approach they can take given the tools at their disposal. small groups, spread out, making fast probing attacks constantly - day in, day out. most get pasted but some fraction gets a toehold and allows reserves to infiltrate, forcing the ukrainians to retreat as they're left in exposed positions under heavy fire, their resupply gets interdicted and they run low on stores themselves.

>>63868530
Speaking of Chechnya, was Kadyrov allowed to resign, or is he still in charge of the country?

>>63868702
>>63868705
From what I understand of the free russia legion, it's a total hodgepodge in terms of why russians join it. Some are pro-Western democracy advocates. Some are trying to reinstate tsardom in some form. Some are anarchists, communists, or just plain have a bone to pick with the russian government. Some actually like most of what russia does, to include invading neighbors, but think Putin needs to go. And then you get a good number of ex-Wagner (hundreds to 1000+ depending on who you ask) who decided they'd rather fight for Ukraine than get absorbed into the russian army or get exiled to Africa.

These guys would absolutely tear each other apart in a russian collapse scenario, but for now they're somewhat unified as rebels.

Almost 30,000 artillery pieces destroyed, and like 46 just today. What is making total artillery death take so long to occur? I know FPVs are like 80% of casualties nowadays and yet a ton of people on the frontlines are still complaining about artillery, but finding cannons on the battlefield should be like finding a needle in a haystack at this point. Seriously, what gives? Do norks and iranians have infinite barrels as well?

>>63868899
ukr counts mortars as artillery too so its hard to get a read on actual full size artillery losses best guesses are from satellite storage counts which looks like about half so probably still have a ways to go. Also russia is buying them from NK. we will see the death of armored vehicles before artillery.

>>63868899
>What is making total artillery death take so long to occur?
It's a slow, gasping death. The rate of russian artillery fire today vs 2023 is way way lower because of that attrition, despite their shell production being higher. Both sides also make liberal use of infantry mortars

Interesting question. It depends on what you think their war goals are. What they’ve stated is denying Iran nuclear bomb access and facilitating popular revolution. What they won’t state directly, but imply is that it seems to be aimed at drawing the US into war with Iran, and what some infer is that it’s about keeping Bibi out of the courtroom.
So far the first goal is a “maybe”, the second is a “probably not, but could change”, the third is “Successful So far”, and the fourth is “ask again in 2 weeks”.
Israel appears to be dominating kinetically, but that’s not the same as winning and it’s a much more mixed bag when we look at that score than when we merely cheer at the IRGC getting bodied.

>>63869528
ah. thanks putin almost made me worry

>tanks are obsolete
the only correct opinion in this thread

>>63868546
Trump has the legal authority to order the military to stop using military logistics to move aid into Ukraine. This would be reversed in court because the President is NOT allowed to interfere with aid sent via Congress, which is WHY his admin said from the very start that it was a TEMPORARY pause in aid. Now, Im sure they didn’t imagine it would be THAT temporary — because someone told Trump he’s out of line and he’s going to get smashed. Hegseth clearly understand the orders he’s a high-IQ white native English-speaking American executing his role as Trump’s Secretary of Defense. Hegseth did NOT “misunderstand” Trump’s orders, he simply agreed to eat shit in order to cover Trump from the potential blowback by the power structure. THAT’S the real world. The Trump admin gamed out a high-pressure tactic to get Zelensky to negotiate, and the power structure shot it down instantly. Trump’s power to order the military exists in theory ONLY, and it’s not just Trump, every President since at LEAST Bush has been powerless to make it do anything. Obama ORDERED the DoD to shut down Gitmo and they simply laughed in his face. In Trump’s first term the DoD routinely ignored Trump. You think Biden DIDN’T cajole the DoD like crazy to get involved in Ukraine which ended up with State having to carry the whole project? /k/‘s understanding level of how power works is very cartoonish and utterly divorced from reality.

Russians are currently experiencing shortages in their workforce, the guys in the army getting well paid and Niabulina having to print cash to keep the war going has put russian population at risk of starvation.
Now, I will say something you will not understand but this is not really for you:
No man in the street in their right mind would support a regime which perceives and uses him in the way Russia does to its own people, this is why you cannot win, you already made this a fight to the death, at core you, russians/russian supporters/"neutrals", demand other countries be subjected to a slow (or fast, given the situation) death sentence.
You say "undesirable minorities", what do you think ukrainians will be under your rule?
You are contemptous of not just other groups but your own peoples lives, and no, this is not about DEI or feminism or all the other subversions and lies you promoted for decades, but the most basic sense of some other man existence's value, Russia as a civilization has failed at this.

The video group appeal propaganda was, ironically, started by the Russians. Early in the war it seemed like every day on TG there was a new video by "Ukrainian" soldiers appealing to Zelensky over awful things were — and they always ended the video with "SLAVA UKRANI" making it totally legit. At the time I just laughed at this obvious propaganda and shook my head at the thought of the low-IQs it was meant for. I had NO idea that just months later that Ukraine would copy the format and that TO THIS FUCKING DAY /k/ would be here unironically bringing this retread-grade propaganda up as if it were real.

>>63869518

I honestly don’t know because I have no fucking idea what Israel’s actual war goals are.

>stop Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons

While they definitely set back Iran’s nuclear program by a few years at least, they’ve also created a very pressing reason for Iran to continue pursuing it regardless of the cost. It won’t mean much unless they totally destroy every last piece of infrastructure capable of supporting said program and keep it from being rebuilt. That’s likely going to require direct American involvement.

>topple the Islamic Republic of Iran

They’ve probably been more successful at this than permanently neutering Iran’s nuclear program, seeing as how the Iranian state has suffered both a catastrophic loss of face and is essentially leaderless at this point. But unless someone is actually willing to put boots on the ground and march to Tehran, it could all easily just come to nothing.

>keep Netanyahu out of prison

I suspect this is going to backfire spectacularly for him in the long run and will ultimately lead to his fall from power, and that this is one of the reasons why Trump is getting cold feet about committing to direct American involvement.

this has always been their goal, and none of the real 'peaceful' ways were stopping it - quite the opposite, they were giving iran the benefit of the doubt for the global community and at best slowed them down slightly while building up more grounds for them to expand further in a justified manner. Messing with them now, in turn, is related to the next point

>But unless someone is actually willing to put boots on the ground and march to Tehran, it could all easily just come to nothing.
the boots are already on the ground - it's the iranians themselves. A foreign country putting boots on the ground in middle east to create democracies and nation-make has never worked before and will never work without insane cock and ball levels of effort, moeny sinking, generations passing, etc etc. On another hand, creating a power vacuum and spinning the gacha to see who you land on is better, and the best way is to pound the current leadership into submission. Or ask the perfidious brits and americans about what they did when iran stopped being a democracy in the first place.

>I suspect this is going to backfire spectacularly for him in the long run and will ultimately lead to his fall from power
you are right, but this is also the reason why. Netanyahu has entered this spiral and there's no getting out of it - you need the eternal state of war, or a clear reason, be it legal or popular, for the population to NEED him, and that spiral started before hamas did the big funny 2-ish years ago. It's an all bets are off situation, but scoring an 'i have achieved peace with iran' prize could promote his ultimate destiny from being dragged off onto the streets to being put in some remote village to live off his years in relative peace.

For various reasons, that doesn't really work. Aside from anything else, units have wildly disorganised entry routes so it's not a band of brothers with camaraderie and loyalty, it's just a bunch of random scumbags with mostly the same problems but even then, internal hierarchies ensure no true equality which means no true peers.
So nothing can be done that requires cooperation or solidarity.

There might be an up tick in shootings and escapes but they're too spread out in time to be sure of a trend.

>this has always been their goal, and none of the real 'peaceful' ways were stopping it

My understanding was that was quite a bit of debate within Iran as to whether they should commit to building a nuclear weapon and that the pro-nuke crowd more or less won out after Trump threw out the original Iran deal during his first term.

Furthermore, ever since the Russian invasion of Ukraine (arguably the American invasion of Iraq even), there's been a growing international sentiment that the only way that nations can decidedly protect themselves from foreign aggression is to possess nuclear weapons. By attacking Iran over its nuclear program, the Israelis have only further validated that belief in the minds of both Iranians and non-Iranians. Which is why I said that the only way for Israel to achieve their stated goal of stopping Iran from going nuclear is to totally and completely destroy the infrastructure capable of supporting it in a way that it can't be rebuilt. If they half-ass it, the Iranians will double down the first chance they get and a nuclear Iran will simply be a mere matter of time.

>the boots are already on the ground - it's the iranians themselves

Let's not forget how the last few attempts by average Iranians to force a change in their government went (abysmal failure, further doubling down, etc.).

>but scoring an 'i have achieved peace with iran' prize could promote his ultimate destiny from being dragged off onto the streets to being put in some remote village to live off his years in relative peace.

That's definitely what he's aiming for, but the only way he's getting it is if Israel wins and wins decisively. Even then, he might still wind up being dragged out of office in chains.

There's already power struggles happening behind the scenes, kadyrov's two other daughters got recently ousted so shit is bound to get funny fast

The Russian soldiers in that trench video were all unarmed, Russian propagandists then used this to cry about 'war crimes' despite the fact they were all rushing to the armory to retrieve their rifles which they didn't have permission to carry otherwise, with the cherry on-top being that Poccия-1 used the same footage, blurring the uniforms while claiming the men shot were Ukrainian

>>63873589

Point I was making was about drawing conclusions. A penal battalion existing does not mean all battalions are penal battalions. The Russian army is a massive hodgepodge that has everything from guys who are Azov-tier motivated and professional to literal cannonfodder who would kill their officers (and each other) at the slightest opportunity, and everything in between

>>63873614

Yes, more than 20 russian soldiers were already identified in the body bags. But generally a lot is being done to obfuscate this, i.e. a ton of bodies are split into body parts and mixed into different bags and so on. However...

>without even removing their uniforms or dogtags?
Yes, seems like some of the people doing this shit on the russian side said "who gives a shit" at some point and not only didn't remove the russian uniforms from some of the bodies, but literally left their dogtags and military IDs.

>>63879874
nta
They actually haven't used it much since building it specifically because of that problem. Usually it services very light shipments. The planning was probably done with the expectation they would move the line forward, drones wouldn't proliferate in range and number, etc.

This was one of the first large fuel shipments the line has has seen since being built.

>these people should just shoot their commanders

The constant meat churning is unironically helping prevent this.

If troops sit around in horrible conditions, they get angry, demoralized and most importantly - get to know who is in charge, where other commanders are and what alibi would work if a commander caught a stray bullet one evening. They also find friends who are as angry as them and would like to do a little mutineering.

If someone just gets to the front and is sent to die in an assault right away with a bunch of other new meat, they can't do a mutiny as they don't have any friends or even know who to mutiny against exactly.

I think the imminent regime change or whatever happens is going to take Iran out of the war.
They're already probably unable to contribute anything worthwhile and if they tried, Israelis would probably blow it up as soon as it got put on a truck.
There's a lot for Russians to seethe about.

>>63868489

That fucking cat

>>63867571
this makes zero sense within the russian tactical framework because they intend to send the high-units right after enemy defensive posture is revealed by the low-units
russians prized tempo and offense above all else, and so would not simply hold the strong units back after almost 4 years of war

especially when their fairly modern T-72B3s, T-80Us, T-90Ms, were all committed into battle fairly early on, even during the attempted drive to the capital
the only reason they would be holding them back at this late stage in the war is if they have not yet revealed ukranian defensive postures and have been wasting men and material on probing attacks for over 2 years
you would think after wasting so many frontline attacks for so long, the russians would at least have a vague idea of where best to commit their forces
it is simply easier to assume the obvious, that they just lack the ability to concentrate their strength for such a knock out blow at this point in the war, they do not have enough modern equipment to end the war decisively

Sure, they are trying to build new bases along the border but that won't matter jack shit if they can't crew them. They probably think that it's going to take a few years to sort out Ukraine anyways even in a good scenario, so those bases are only for post-war recruits.

The fact is that everyone that they can get is sent to Ukrainian front, vehicles included. Putin can't stop the war without losing face unless he gets SOME kind of win, no matter how small or ridiculous. So now it's sunk cost fallacy game. Send in the next wave.

Their internal security forces have their own armored vehicles, and those will not be sent to Ukraine. They have to stay visible on Russian streets to remind everyone who's in charge.

At a snail's pace with horrendous casualties?

Yes, im sure the massive amount of soldiers returning disfigured will be detered by the few HOMO troops that are left defending their country. I've already seen fucked up Russians returning from the front, they fight, they do crazy shit like showing kids a grenade, throwing it, and having them watch it explode (regardless of danger, if Russians can even comprehend danger, kek).

This war has gone on for about 3-4~ years (im drunk, cant remember the specifics, 2022 rite?), Russia will run out of people who can adequately run their country (aka, not negligent, self-serving asses)... Russia seems to like leaving the people on the front to die, as letting them return home may simply sprout a tree of hatred for the government. If the mobik is dead, he can do nothing,

Dont cry Mrs. he died for our heroic father Vladimir Putin! Putin wanted to give a gift for your sorrow, take it, love it. Dont waste it faggot.

>>63884197
>. Russia seems to like leaving the people on the front to die, as letting them return home may simply sprout a tree of hatred for the government. If the mobik is dead, he can do nothing,

Even better, if they're just listed as missing rather than dead, their commanding officer can keep collecting their pay, the government won't have to financially compensate their surviving family members, and the government can fudge the casualty numbers even further to look like the war is far less costly than it actually is! It's a win for everyone! Except the mobiks, but those guys are expendable, they're SUPPOSED to die. That last part isn't even a joke, that idea is deeply ingrained in russian "culture" since the days of imperial rule. Back when the czar ruled, peasants villages would hold funerals for their still living boys whenever they were drafted since they weren't expected to return.

The wounded can't slow down your operational tempo if you leave them in the roadside ditch.

>>63884023
>All bases near Finnish border have been emptied of any available men and whoever is left there is essentially bare-minimum skeleton crew.
I would have guessed that those bases are filled to the brim with kids who's families that can pay big bribes to the right people.

>>63885043
we think rich kids mostly go to navy, air force and the "elite"/loyal forces that are kept in reserve. And the "national guard" of course.

>>63869869
You think Kim Chong Ching will just give up 5% of his population like that after crying on camera pleading his serfs to plop out more babies?

>>63885050
medium bribes?

>>63883998
It's even funnier than that; Russia is outsourcing production to the Norks.

>>63880290
Russia inherited one of the largest stockpiles of weapons and armored vehicles the world has ever seen and completely squandered it in exchange for <20% of Ukraine.

>>63883998
>What is Iran actually contributing these days? I thought Russia moved to building shasneeds domestically
Artillery shells I think.
Yes Russia is producing sneeds (гepaн) domestically but ukie glowies are hunting those factories and they take some foxbat drones occasionally.
Norks are sending 25k workers to staff those factories and then return and build drones domestically in BESTKOREA.

>>63885089
>Kim Chong Ching will just give up 5% of his population like that
he will collect the paychecks, Russia pays for room & board and the workers are in factories, not in battlefield

>>63883979
BEE SEVENTEEN BAAWWMER?

>>63885479
It looks much worse when you consider the cost of acquisition of the good parts of Ukraine (Crimea) was essentially free. Turned a great deal into a comically bad exchange by doubling down. Some day people will learn to quit while they're ahead.

>>63883998
some sneed engines, some sneed parts, mortars, shells.

100mm shells in particular are basically all Iranian at this point. The existence of those MT-LB with 100mm MT-12 guns fitted on them are a product of that. Wouldn't exist without Iranian support.

BOOOOHMB SQUAD

>>63867571
You people have been saying Ukraine is exhausted since 2022

>>63886060
Those are going to run dry pretty quick, the DPRK doesn't use the round and Iran probably needs the factories to replace all the (different) 100mm they fired off from their KS-19s.

the eyes are off of ukraine so maybe Russia is taking a break because the pressure is off.

rather mindboggling that worst korea keeps acting as if it doesn't concern them

>>63872845
>the only way that nations can decidedly protect themselves from foreign aggression is to possess nuclear weapons
Yeah that seems to be the case. The problem with Israel+US attacking Iran over it and facing basically no concequences is setting the unfortunate precedent that pre-emptive strikes are fine in order to enforce nuclear non-profilation.
So in the future if say Germany, Poland, South Korea or Allah forbid, Sweden starts working on a nuke, Russia or China or Norks could cite this as a reason to attack

>>63889551
EU nations are under British and French nuclear umbrella, they don't have to build their own.

>>63889557
British nukes are arguably under US control, so no.

>>63889567
Britain has a sovereign nuclear strategy, you are wrong. Even if you're right, they're still under French nuclear umbrella.

>>63889571
I'm talking about delivery system used by british nukes

>>63889571
And France has a First Use policy.

>>63889557
Sure they don't HAVE to, but I imagine at least a few of them are starting to question if the French or Bongs are actually willing to eat a nuke themselves if shit actually hits the fan somewhere in Eastern Europe.
And just so that we are clear, I support more nations getting nukes because it's starting look like that the only way we can exist at least somewhat peacefully is a constant, globe-spanning mexican stand-off

>>63889567
>Mounted on self-sufficient submarines
????

>>63889611
France counts all of EU as its demesne. EU is its imperial project. In the case of Eastern Europe getting fucked, France would already be embroiled in that war

>>63889611
I'm not in favour of more small shitholes getting them (read; Iran) but it's undeniable that hot wars between major world powers have reached approximately absolutely fucking zero since nuclear proliferation

>>63889551
The reason Israel and the US can attack Iran and not suffer backlash is because Iran has pissed off all its neighbors, has acted as a continually antagonistic and destabilizing force for decades, has openly sponsored terrorism for decades, has openly and repeatedly stated their desire to destroy Israel and the US for decades, and has generally just done everything they can to be as unlikeable as possible to the global hegemon for decades. It doesn't work as well when the country being attacked has actual allies, some of whom have nuclear weapons. Western aligned states respect the NPT because nukes are expensive and having friends with nukes means you don't have to build them yourself. Rogue states want nukes because it means they don't get what's happening to Iran when they constantly piss off the people that can beat their ass.

>>63884023
Monke was offered a golden off ramp by trump, including official recognition of crimea as puzzian. He also has the perception of US kneeling in front if him in submission as a beta orbiter.

Get off the copium and update your script. There is no ending the stalemate as long as monke is alive and not acked by someone capable of it like ukranians. Only thing he knows is never compromise, always escalate and then double down. Behavior enforced by western softies over the years.

Opening a second front in the baltics, as they can't get through ukraine, even with ladas, is exactly something the seething and bored manlet would do. especially now that the us is brain dead and paralysed

>>63889640
>Opening a second front in the baltics, as they can't get through ukraine, even with ladas, is exactly something the seething and bored manlet would do.
Yes, he is retarded enough to do that. But he is also acutely aware how absolutely prepared the EU-NATO Eastern flank is for that and how EU regional powers (GBR-FRA axis) is ready to aid the eastern flank. USA is not needed to defeat the incursion.

>>63889551
Luckily nobody of those listed are physically capable of reaching them to do any serious damage. Norks would just get splattered by the far superior korean forces.

Nobody on the planet other then US air force can do something like the B2 raid. Last time anything coming clise to similar was UK strikes in the falkland wars with bombers that started out from the isles.

>>63889640
The problem with opening a front in the Baltics would be Europe closing the Danish straits for Russian ships and Kaliningrad being fully fucked.

>>63889648
I'm sure Kalinigrad has enough food and water to last the three days it'll take the mighty bear to capture Lisbon)))))

>>63889664
Europe wouldn't try to starve Kaliningrad. They'd even send free food in if there'd be any chance of famine there.
Every military installation would just be missiled/arty'd and then the land then left alone. Russian milbloggers are already now urging the military to withdraw all ships from the Baltic sea to either the Pacific or Ladoga.

>>63889671
>Ladoga
The fuck have those retards been smocking? There can't be many vessels in the Baltic fleet that can navigate Neva to reach the lake

>>63889612
he means the trident missiles

Britain and France could be subverted by pidor influence and then what? Better to build your own.

>>63889640
>Only thing he knows is never compromise
He instantly buckles down when pushed with actual force or credible threat of force. Back in 2008 Bush literally said "get back home or else" and russians turned back from being just a few miles outside of Georgian capital. The biggest issue is that western political class overall are cuckolds and the US one is even worse.

>>63889645
King Roach wouldn't miss an opportunity to diplomatically win with Europe and show off the mighty Neo-Ottoman military against an ancestral enemy even assuming NATO dissappears somehow so Turkey would also jump in.
