I made the mistake of balking at some particularly unhinged Ukraine/Russia rhetoric offline yesterday and got called a vatnik, a tankie, a Russia lover and I was even suspected of being pro-Israel and apparently a nazbol Aimee Therese follower or something

I'm not even invested in this shit, I just find the insane saber-rattling and warmongering unsettling desolate

When someone tells you Putler's going to invade Estonia, Poland and Finland for Lebensraum next if he's not stopped in Ukraine, just nod your head solemnly

    as explained in the films & video games providing documentary evidence of soviet plans for a cross-pacific invasion such as Red Dawn, World in Conflict, and Homefront, an invasion force can totally be conveyed in an unscheduled, unescorted container fleet arriving on the west coast very-smart you were speaking to a true scholar of the art of war

      US CENTCOM: hey there's like two hundred container ships headed to our coast without any port destinations logged, should we check on that? Oh, right, probably just Amazon orders.

        Just fyi there's a tracking parameter in your link which Google/Youtube can use to deanonymize you. You should remove ?si=blahblah and everything afterward.

          I got it for free a while back and played thru the campaign and it absolutely kicked my ass, mostly due to my insistance on trying to rely on infantry more than vehicles lol. The final mission especially wants you to pile on with the tanks.

            infantry is absolutely dominant without a master on the enemy artillery, you get some boys ensconced in a built up area or better yet a sizable forest, they'll eat the enemy's lunch for an entire match. key is getting them to the good positions quickly, replenishing them when they take casualties, and utilizing the air-dropped infantry to expand your intel & area control. once it gets going infantry is fairly poor on the offense, but ideally you're getting enough points from dug-in infantry repelling the enemy to call in support for when you actually need to push

            technically this is multiplayer advice but the campaign missions play the same except there aren't point discounts/penalties based in role iirc
