Makes too much sense. One party has a war and needs tanks, other has plenty of tanks just sitting in storage and a strong desire to help. It's basically like gravity in action.

Looks like his offer to leave the thread wasn't genuine at all...

Regardless, I hope all the illegal invaders get what is coming to them.

Seriously? You don't think Ukraine, which was invaded by Russia, would like nothing more for Russians to leave. Do you think they would continue to DEFEND THEMSELVES if the Russians left?

Serious question. How many here are willing to volunteer for service should Canada or NATO chose to formally enter this war? If the call were to go out for volunteers, Who here is willing to answer.
I am not.
Serious answer: No, I'm not willing. I'm 50 years old with bad knees and no combat experience. However, if someone came to invade my home I'd do whatever I could.

Serious question: how is your question relevant to anything?

How is neither side interested in peace? I think if right now, Russia said "Alright, we'll leave and cede all claims" that everyone would agree that sounds good.

Are you suggesting that unless someone is able/willing to go themselves, that they shouldn't support Ukraine fighting this war?

Look, I'm sure your heart is in the right place, I'm guessing you're one of the people that think Ukraine should have just surrendered to prevent loss of life. I think that's extremely misguided, however well intentioned

I'm sure Ukraine is interested in Peace once all their lands are returned and maybe some reparations paid to help with rebuilding their decimated country

The exact arguments from every Russia supporter I’ve come across. Trying to come across as some humanitarian, but unable to hide the fact that he’s cheerleading Russia to win.

Just ignore him.

Sadly, How many see a scenario where this ends like this? I sure dont. Once Russia is pushed back out of Ukraine, whats the next step?

To be fair, I bet there is a ton of transplant Russians that see this thread but don't dive in. A lot of the ones we encounter in society are ardent nationalists and secret Z supporters. They love their Russkiy Mir, just not enough to actually live there. We should be surprised this hasn't happened more often in the last year.

I dont know about you, but if this were to happen they should put that #### on TV!

I alone would be worth the cost of any subscription service.

"He's what now you say? We....we should find shelter. Immediately."

I’ve watch enough war movies. You just turn the knobs a bit then drop the mortar into the launcher and duck like a mother####er.

Gimme a real challenge like landing a C-130 fully loaded at night time. In a war zone.

Civilians, veterans of 2015, and a few army regulars in Sumy Oblast destroyed the 4th Guards tank division in the initial invasion last year. 4th Guards was considered one of the most elite anti-Nato units in the entire RuAF. Don't sleep on Jim from Accounting fighting for his home.

Or planting explosives.

"Face Towards Enemy"

Do I face towards enemy and throw it? Do I face my enemy? These instructions are nebulous and vague!!

But - tax season is here, so wouldn't you want some angry accountants with some steam to blow off on your side?
