@gt12 Not having a crack at you, but this fails to address the desire of multiple countries to join NATO. Do these countries need to kowtow to the wishes of a failed state in order to guarantee their security. No one in Eastern Europe was Pax Putin.

Here's a bloke who obviously loves his job.
this war has been pretty "cool" for the access.
Troops are running around filming themselves on their phones fucking shit up. I watched a cool one yesterday of some Ukrainian dudes wrecking some tanks with RPGs. Then posing for a quick smiling shot.

@mariner4life and the amount of weapons coming in is mental. Sure, they aren't getting air support directly, but they have a shitload of gear to take out armor and air targets now. Pew pew lads. Crazy stuff for sure.

@tim Yes definitely. Kinda like MMT economics enthusiasts seeing inflation happening in front of them.
I guess for me, there's two takes I can't really get around; poking the bear and getting the claws, and by arming Ukrainians the West is increasing their suffering. Both those take away their self-determination.

@mariner4life That is a terrible movie by any measurement. Action was lame as fuck. Rambo 4 was such a massive return to form.
