his Twitter handle is in his ATOT sig and the pictures look like him.Got it, thanks. He's a lot more . . . unbridled . . . on Reddit than he is in OT.
Yeah, its' him. Who cares, he mostly posts in ATOT. If he posted in P&N, he would, sadly, be beaten up by the general consensus.his Twitter handle is in his ATOT sig and the pictures look like him.
There is nothing Orcs will not do to defile humanity. This one is straight from the Nazi Germany playbook.
POWs to the frontlines.
A Russian battalion comprised of Ukrainian prisoners of war (POWs) will likely deploy to Ukraine in the near future in an apparent violation of the Geneva Convention on Prisoners of War.
I am not much for concepts like Evil cause it implies a morality that is inherently subjective to the individual and historical perspective of the larger narrative.
But Russia is getting there.
Well then morality dictates that Russia must be destroyed. Fucked into submission.dude, you're way late to the party. This is "Russian" war doctrine for centuries.
Gotta weigh the probable outcome of continuing the path we're set on vs the potential outcome of engaging a nuclear power in an escalation race. Ukraine is eating shit right now but it's probably preferable to glassed cities (Kyiv included).Well then morality dictates that Russia must be destroyed. Fucked into submission.
I mean if we’re truly looking at Nazi Germany Holocaust level depravity, what other choice than going all in is there? This keeping Ukraine just in the fight and not enabling it to demolish the Orcs is bullshit. Bullshit. Also, EU troops, boots on the ground. Lets go. If we’re truly looking at another Nazi Germany, there is no choice.
Time to hurry up those first couple squadrons of F-16's. With AIM-120's on the other side (and assuming some decent radar coverage of black sea), Russian fighters won't be having time to shoot at commercial shipping.Well I guess the Russians having failed to successfully mine the port approaches are now willing to missile neutral shipping.
Ukraine has thus far refrained from attacking civil shipping headed to Russian ports. The Black Sea fleet does not remotely have the assets to protect their shipping lanes from USVs.

Really should…Russia continues to attack the world's food supply.
Russian ports across the world should burn.
That's an excessively liberal approach to the problem of Evil. People who repeated rape, murder and torture are inherently evil. We have this silly modern pop-sci approach to psychology where the perpetrator is transfigured into the victim. Yes, they may have been terribly traumatized as a child - that still doesn't excuse their behavior. To do so is to make an error which will result in history repeating itself in some sort of horrific way.I am not much for concepts like Evil cause it implies a morality that is inherently subjective to the individual and historical perspective of the larger narrative.

It is possible to both recognize that systems and trauma push people towards doing bad things and recognize that society should sanction those bad things.That's an excessively liberal approach to the problem of Evil.

Plus, you can hardly kill your way to eliminating the root of the problems that give rise to situations like this.It is possible to both recognize that systems and trauma push people towards doing bad things and recognize that society should sanction those bad things.
The only proper place for that air defense, to actually do this job, is on Crimea.A Patriot battery between Odessa and Chornomorsk would probably be preferred. Maybe they'll deploy the next one they're getting from Germany here.
Absolutely. My view on this is we should address underlying causes of crime (duh) while still prosecuting criminals, but also prosecuting them with mercy.Plus, you can hardly kill your way to eliminating the root of the problems that give rise to situations like this.
The problem is when these become ingrained and repeated behaviors. Then the transformation of a person's psychology from a distorted need to act out from not being loved enough (which can literally affect the brain's ability to develop properly) to full blown sociopathy. So, sure, one joins a gang (the system) or mafia because they feel like they are part of a family and are loved (they are not, generally) - but the repeated acts of violence for some reward transforms a person so disposed to become a ruthless sociopath who relationships are more transactional than genuine. That person accepts evil acts as being a good. In exchanging good for evil, they become evil - that point of no return (for so many). Makes me wonder what happened with Putin over the course of his life.It is possible to both recognize that systems and trauma push people towards doing bad things and recognize that society should sanction those bad things.

Ukraine cannot ensure shipping food without control of Crimea.
We sent them coastal defense Harpoons already, more couldn't hurt though. I'm sure the AFU is ready to use them given the right opportunity. Being able to target vessels hundreds of miles from shore is an issue when you don't have a navy though. Hopefully more drones and timely Western SIGINT can help them send more Russian vessels to sub duty. I feel like it's just a matter of time, like the Kerch.
