Why do you fuckers not get sarcasm?

When sentences start with a "but" as in..

but her emails..

it's generally saracasm.

And I fucking put BUT TWICE and put cartoons too rather than a wall of text!

huh?

There are like 5 threads in P&N already where you chumbas get into fucking NYC issues all the fucking time. That's the only point I'm making. How is any of that nonsense, that basically 10 of us around here give a flying fuck about, relevant to this thread?

It's a very simply comment I made. The thrust of your comment is immaterial. It's the mere posting of such content that is obnoxious. Just keep your dicks in the appropriate threads, please. We've already got to navigate tons of military weapon porn in this thread to get to stuff that is actually about the situation in UKR, but at least that content is sort of relevant.

Have to wonder if the mess in Israel makes it easier for these more potent weapons to do work for Ukraine. Russia doesn't have the stage anymore to bitch and moan about escalation.

Per NYT, ~20 ATACMS missiles were delivered to Ukraine.

Ukraine Uses Powerful American-Supplied Missiles for First Time (Published 2023)

Ukrainian forces attacked two key Russian air bases behind enemy lines on Tuesday, using American-made long-range missiles known as ATACMS, a U.S. official said.

This is a pretty reasonable first supply, IMO. There is no munition that we've provided so far that we've declined to refill them on so just the start.

Even at 165km max these will cause a good bit of havoc for the Russians forcing further dispersals of supplies and equipment at what were previously safe ranges. Once GLSDB becomes available to them those dispersed sites will also become vulnerable.

Ukraine is extremely excited to start using them, apparently Miley and Austin were against sending them but where over ruled by Biden

Inside Biden’s decision to secretly send longer-range U.S. missiles to Ukraine

Top officials were worried that Kyiv's offensive wasn't going well. So they had an idea.

That's disappointing regarding Milley. I've read interviews where he paints himself as a staunch ally of theirs regarding evicting Russians from their sovereign territory. I don't know how he squares that with refusing to provide them every reasonable tool they could use to accomplish that goal.

just saw another video of six launched over on combat footage. So that is at least 9 launched. Some air craft were getting toasted yesterday.

Don't confuse being a staunch ally and having an opinion with regards to weapons systems/escalation that differs from you.

This is good. Very very good.
The game "World of Tanks", which is absurdly popular in Russia, is selling Ukraine cosmetics packs to decorate your tanks in Ukrainian flag colours and symbols, and will donate the money to the AFU. Now Russians are being warned they could get 12 years to life for buying one

For people trying to understand how much it hurts to have World of Tanks turn on Russia, this would be like if Japan invaded Korea and Pikachu signed up to defend Seoul.

Reminder: US inventory of expired ATACMS is 1200 missiles. Block Is & IAs are non-compliant with DoD's CM policy and there are no plans to SLEP either those or the M48s & M57s which have also expired. It will cost millions to de-mil them. Send them all to Ukraine.

Nothing like large amounts of expired high-grade military offensive equipment which the enemy seems to have no counter for :beercheers:

We talk a lot about Russian stockpiles but people underestimate how large US stockpiles are.

Russia’s only hope is the US chooses not to expend the resources to destroy their army.

Poor emasculated Putin still trying to claw back some of his tough guy act after bending over for Prigozhin's coup. Ha.

Please be advised, poor, sad Uncle Vova, that this is not a threat and rather an update: your Kinzhal missiles have already been intercepted, and our surface combatants, unlike yours, know how to defend themselves.

Yeah, probably best you sit the fuck down shorty, limit your embarrassing losses to just one adversary and theater. You can't even handle your poor outnumbered cousins! You don't want to see what two carrier groups and mainland NATO assets would do to your already kneecapped military.

No point swapping out the warheads in these when PrSM is in production. When the inventory starts filling up with the new missiles, the ATACMs can be released.
