I'm down for that if it leads to the stock market taking a huge shit so I can accumulate stuff for pennies on the dollar. Two-birds, one-stone!
Russia must be bombed into blackout conditions.
Your WWIII fetish is really tiresome. How many times are you going to demonstrate here you have no business advocating strategy? This chickenhawk toughguy bullshit you espouse that would cost millions of lives makes you sound more sick than concerned. Just stop. We can help arrange dead Russians without mimicking the stupidity of their state media can't we?
Wait, Russia is allowed to attack Ukraine, but Ukraine is not allowed to attack back?
Ukraine should have the capability to attack military targets inside Russia as they are being INVADED by Russia.
I disagree with attacking cities and civilians, but the idea that Ukraine should not attack over the boarder is absurd.

Ukraine can use its own weapons, either native built or obtained ex-Soviet gear, but not US made/provided arms to strike inside Russia.
I disagree. I think we should allow Ukraine to attack in kind. Nothing loses more than trying to "limit" a war when you're being invaded.

Go piss yourself somewhere else.
If Russia hits energy infrastructure, we need to hit theirs.
Deterrence is a vital part of stopping wars. If they aren't bleeding, they will feel free to NEVER stop.
The problem with that is Taiwan relies on the West to run said chip fabs, both in materials and expertise.
It's hard to say what would happen to them in an actual invasion. Always some value in forensics right? China has the ability to not hit them with missiles, then there is pre invasion agent work. Taiwan has the latent ability to have everything pre-wired to blow, and they've had a long time to fortress up.
Deep water access and a platform out of the 1st chain is considered more valuable to the CCP far as I know, though we need to remember the level of national face it represents too. Xi has stroked this issue in particular because his intended legacy depends on it.
This is true, normally. The approach of NATO lead by the Biden Administration is a drip-drip-drip policy of pushing the boundaries in the offensive capabilities of the UAF. Part of this is necessity, the European nations came along slowly at first, except Britian. The second is to prevent Russia from over-reacting to a sudden uptick in the UAF's ability and then leading them to counter by introducing chemical warfare into the battlespace (or worse). This is all as best I understand it.I disagree. I think we should allow Ukraine to attack in kind. Nothing loses more than trying to "limit" a war when you're being invaded.
Either way this is another example where appeasement has backfired. For years everyone 'recognized' the one china policy in hope china would leave the status quo (that is Taiwan effectively as its own country); we should have declared Taiwan an independent country decades ago knowing if we didn't sooner or later what would happen (and yes i think it is a given that China will invade Taiwan - it is just a question of when).
The only way to stop missile barrages, is your own offensive weapons.
Russia must be bombed into blackout conditions.
Russia must know that fire will be met with fire, or they will attack with impunity.
Deterrence means knowing Ukraine can strike back. They've never had that capability, we need to give it to them. We need to ensure a deterrence exists. That will only happen if Russian cities go dark.
Russia launched one of its biggest aerial assaults on Ukraine overnight.
A spokesman says the country has no capability to counter the weapons used.
Jaskalas isn't just advocating for Ukraine to attack Russia but for NATO and all western nations to attack Russia directly. He has been doing so repeatedly in this thread.
