Might be morbid I guess, but something satisfying about watching russian scumbag rapist invaders getting blown to pieces and probably ####ting their pants in fear for the last 30 or so seconds of their lives knowing that they are about to get blown to pieces.

I was going to say that the most logical thing to do would be to follow your own tank tracks back the way you came....but maybe that wasn't an option.

Apparently, the stories about the Soviet soldiers being forced to walk arm in arm across a mine field are likely old wives' tales, but maybe Putin and his thugs (the Wagner Group) are actually putting that into practice.

Zhukov almost bragged about clearing minefields with infantry.

It’s the Russian way. Always has been.

I get the same kind of joy from those videos as I do killing Nazis in the Wolfenstein games

Sorry, this is related to the war on a tangent as it shows Russia's overall regional intentions, regarding the alleged Russian plot to overthrow the Moldovan government. The Moldovan president said that would be saboteurs from Belarus, Russia, Montenegro, and Serbia were going to enter the country to incite revolts.

Quote:
Moldova's president accused Russia on Monday of planning to use foreign saboteurs to bring down her tiny country's leadership, stop it joining the European Union and use it in the war against Ukraine.

President Maia Sandu made her comments after Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy said last week his country had uncovered a Russian intelligence plan "for the destruction of Moldova", and days later the country's government resigned.

She said the plan involved citizens of Russia, Montenegro, Belarus and Serbia entering Moldova to try to spark protests in an attempt to "change the legitimate government to an illegal government controlled by the Russian Federation."
https://www.reuters.com/world/europe...ip-2023-02-13/

They took it as far as to ban Serbian soccer fans from entering the country for security reasons.

Quote:
Moldova has barred fans from attending a soccer match against a Serbian team, officials announced on Tuesday, a day after the Moldovan president said saboteurs from Serbia could be part of an alleged Kremlin coup plot.

The Moldovan Football Federation said it was "informed by the authorities of the Republic of Moldova about the impossibility" of allowing fans at a Feb. 16 match in Chisinau between FC Sheriff of Tiraspol and FK Partizan of Belgrade.

So Mr. MoneyGuy, what would you say was the greatest detriment to your eventual retirement?

"A psychotic Eastern European Despot hellbent on World Domination."

I see...and you didnt plan for this eventuality accordingly?

Biden needs to wait until all the chip facilities in Arizona are finished construction before he allows China to roll tanks into taiwan. He should have taken the beating over allowing spy balloons into US airspace and kept waiting.

My retirement plan accounted for reasonable risks that could derail it, but I never saw this coming.

The Doomsday Prepper community is thoroughly ashamed of you.

'Psychotic Eastern European Despot' is literally item #3 in the handbook on the list of 'Things to Prep for.'

It comes right after:

#1: Lizard Man Invasion
#2: Banning Kinder Eggs because Terrorism

and then

#3: Psychotic Eastern European Despot Hell bent on Global Domination.

Its right there! Did you not read the handbook? Why do you think they make the copies and hand them out at the meetings? Not for you use it as a coaster!

Personally, I think China is bluffing and just want to flex their muscles to take attention away from their recent shaming. I think they like the idea of the West getting tied up with Russia and are more than happy to watch from the sidelines. While the claim to be friends with Russia, they also have a power rivalry in Asia and they probably wouldn't mind capitalizing on a power vacuum from a Russian collapse, particularly in central Asia. I just don't see them wanting to waste their money and resources on this. The biggest threat from China I think would be if they moved on Taiwan however.
