    but generally better results

    Not only has the US not won a war since the 1950s, literally every nation that relies on high tech low production has fucking failed at warfare

    It's war. Things will break and get destroyed. There are no invincible Wunderwaffen. It is always better to have five tanks that are 80% effective but easily replaced and repaired over one single tank that's 100% effective but requires millions to build one single tank

    It's a lesson taught over and over again

    basically the zap brannigan special of throwing meat into the grinder

    This is literally Nazi WW2 propaganda that still gets repeated as fact. I'm sure you still believe that the Soviets only armed half their troops at Stalingrad

      So why hasn't Russia taken over Ukraine?

      And why are you bringing Stalingrad into this? You are literally saying it's a good thing that Russia is producing more arms etc and then saying Russia doesn't tend to operate by trying to use overwhelming numbers? Huh?

        That isn't their military goal, I know that planning military is beyond most American minds, but sometimes war aims aren't "take everything"

        And why are you bringing Stalingrad into this?

        Because you're the one who began by spouting the "human waves" Nazi myth that began in Stalingrad

        I know that it's really difficult for you Lemmitors to have a thought going, but I've heard that if you rub two braincells together you'd be surprised at the results. Don't strain yourself though

            I could lay it out in exacting detail but something tells me you would just continue to post Reddit tier gotchas like in the rest of the thread

            So instead I'm going to make it as simple as possible for your Reddit brain to understand:

            Annexing three Black Sea provinces =|= capturing the entirety of a country

        Because that isn't their goal despite what the NATO disinformation mills would have you think.

        Bombs aren't people. You can pummel an enemy with a metric shitfuckton of shells without sending in human waves.

            So what is their goal?

            Demilitarize Ukkkraine, which is being puppeteered by the world's largest rogue state and exporter of terrorism: the United SSnakes of AmeriKKKA.

            They have already annexed new chunks of Ukraine.

            idgaf

            They tried to push into Kyiv.

            To force Ukkkraine to negotiate for peace after the Banderite entity broke both minsk accords and the Great Satan broke the Budapest Memorandum. A process that was underway until Boris Johnson twisted their arm to make them keep sending people into the meat grinder

            Why should anyone believe anything they are saying when they've so consistently demonstrated that they can't be trusted?

            Because they have consistently shown they can be trusted, unlike the conniving Nazi Arming and Training Organization.

            Are you still pretending this is a "special military operation" that is for peace keeping lol

            yes-chad

            So why is Russia sending in hundreds of thousands of troops?

            Source or stfu.

        Where does this overwhelming numbers thing come from?

        Remember when the war started and all the newsmedia was making a big deal out of Russia invading with 150,000 soldiers? Meanwhile, Ukraine had triple that.

        You ever think your world view might be a little... curated?

        Because taking total control over Ukraine was never part of their war objectives?
