    The only experience with war that most westerners have is 30 years of low level conflict against militias in the middle east. They spent 30 years fighting people who barely had anything more than an AK and a dream, which allowed them to become convinced of their own invincibility

    Not a single person in the west has ever been confronted with a peer level conflict. They truly cannot even comprehend that their tanks, ships, and planes might be vulnerable. On the rare times they got spanked, like with the Nighthawk shoot down during the Serbian war, they chalk it up to pure luck

      convinced of their own invincibility

      Reminds me of an interview with a couple of chuds that went over to Ukkkraine to fight against Russia and they were so terrified they just about shat themselves and then hurried back home. Like wow Russia actually has like artillery and an air force and shit, who would have thought?

        Seeing redditchuds malding over being hit with Russian missiles hours after crossing Ukrainian border was absolutely perfect.
