One person gets shot in the civilized world and all we hear from the left is whining about "thoughts and prayers."
A whole county gets invaded and the new leftist motto is "Thoughts and prayers now with new economic-sanction flavored marshmallows"

People of the Party of the Left are the biggest insincere sanctimonious self-righteous hypocritical assholes of all time.

Since it’s an anti air weapon probably not very good.

Hey, sometimes AA guns can be pointed level to the ground and used against ground targets. Memory serves, the Russians did that very thing while defending Stalingrad against the Nazi attack, pointed their AA down and used it against German tanks.

Probably not ideal though. And probably also wouldn't work with missiles as opposed to flak AA guns.

WTF are you talking about? A self determined democracy got invaded and the Left aren’t the ones cheerleading for the invaders.

The Right has plenty of guns—why not ship a few over to Ukraine and make *our* streets safer??

UK banned all Russian commercial air carriers from its airspace. Russia retaliated by banning all UK flights from its airspace.


Which demonstrates that it is true, whatever we do to them, they can do back. Yet if lots of different countries are doing harmful things to them, they're sharing the pain of the retaliation, meaning it is spread out among different countries, while Russia takes it from everyone. Also, Russia is weak economically and hence is quite vulnerable.

A wind turbine or solar panel might just be as potent as a tank or bomb in this case. It will just take longer. But once no one needs their oil and gas, they're caput. A third world country. Their military will decay and decline along with their economy. Putin and his cronies have stolen probably half the money paid by Russian taxpayers. The long game is he's running his country into the ground.

Fuck man this country is worse off than I thought. I'm seriously thinking of moving to Ukraine.

I dont hear any on the right cheerleading the attack... but they are saying that we need to do more than useless notion of passing UN Security Council Resolutions and economic sanctions...

Instead of sending thoughts and prayers, perhaps your glorious senile leader might send some forces to help fight off the attack...

I wonder if you realize how much your post says about you.

Do you want World War III?

Are you ignorant of the munitions, intelligence, and humanitarian aid US and Europe are providing Ukraine?

Get your head out of your fucking ass and think for a little bit. You can disagree with Biden and every other Western power in the world about putting our own boots on the ground in Ukraine, but don't turn this into some partisan bullshit. We are doing every possible thing short of war. Your rhetoric is doing Putin's bidding.

U.S. troops used them in this fashion to smash German fortifications on the western front and again in Korea. Hemingway describes the use in his war correspondence. Chinese human wave attacks didn't work so good against AA guns.

Booked your flight to Poland yet? You can sit next to the other poster in this thread calling for immediate escalation into a Europe wide war and play arm chair general. Ukraine needs you now!
