“Humans are just imperfect crabs.” - @pH3ra@CubitOom@lemmy.ml
Trying to be the best crab I can.
They kind of opened the door to it by trying to carve up Europe, though, and China has no particular attachment to the concept of local self-determination. Also, this is NCD.
A man can dream :D
It’d just be so fucking satisfying: help, help, they’re invading us, we’re a sovereign nation, that’s our city, those are our people!
And not even Kim would send arty that was going to be fired at Xi lol… russia’s resources would evaporate overnight.
hey if it’s any consolation, the US is never going to invade fucking switzerland. we have our own mountains and cheese, and you can keep the nazi gold lol
Oh I forgot you retired your air force. Those F18s would have helped. And your ADA, what with patriot missile batteries, yeah those all sucked good thing you got rid of it.
pffffttt…
mate, I get it, you’re prior service <something> from switzerland; I don’t think you understand how under/unequipped some countries actually are. And you’ve got generations of potential defenders who are basic trained and ready to be called up. It’s hard to find much credibility in your premise.
no, it’s just that 20-40+ tubes are eliminated DAILY. which is absolutely bonkers. They’re losing a division of artillery every couple weeks.
you do realize it takes meatsacks to run the guns right?
and while you may be able to refurb some of the damaged tubes, the meatsacks are gone and you’re going to have to train new ones?
It’s not like literally all Russian artillery gets destroyed before firing off a single shot. Fuzing absolutely does make a difference
no, it’s like, mathematically obvious, that literally all russian arty gets destroyed before firing off their second or third salvos, you know, the shots ‘fire for effect’ cover, the ones that matter?
If you knew squat about field artillery you’d fucking know the first few rounds always require adjustment.
You’d also understand shoot and scoot. Apparently all these concepts are new to you.
What a fucking bellend, wannabe redleg pogue
Oh I hadn’t heard they removed THE ALPS.
wait, they haven’t?
then you still have tons of defense in depth bud. Trading space for time while enemies struggle to overcome MOUNTAINS because you bright lights popped the tunnel entrances gives you time to prep other shit.
sauce: They’re still there, right, the Alps? they didn’t go away?
had.
and they’ve got defense in depth. artillery covers every inch. Every Swiss man is required to serve in the military or in the alternative civilian service. I suspect they’ll be fine.
TSOS Denton?

edit: lol, can’t argue the premise or any of the points so, uh, downvoted lol!
it’s all you got huh slick?
I’d love to see a comparison to the best western 155 round, vs the best RU 155 round and whatever rice-filled horrorshells North Korea is sending russia lol
considering the rate at which UA is destroying russian tube arty I can’t imagine the fuzing will make much difference in the war.
what an absolute shit show.
Perhaps, even, no grift for oligarchs, wartime economy.
a button (or cron job) work at the speed of light.
good luck sneaking your invasion fleet across without anyone noticing.
TSMC and Taiwan have been expecting this.
Not any more, and what they bought was scrap.
US Army has a shit-ton of boats. Navy, afaik, none.
it’s a fascinating prospect - they have the population to exploit the resources russia has only scratched at. they still want Vladivostok back - since the Treaty of Aigun of 1858. The area’s demographics are much more asian than anything else.
China would benefit if it could get TSMC’s foundries undamaged;
tsmc has already said they’ve installed kill switches on these.
as for the rest, meh. relations have been better and worse in the past.
I suspect Taiwan has watched the war in Ukraine and built some fascinating surprises for anything crossing the straight en masse. Their population centers face China. I wish we could deescalate this conflict because it benefits NOBODY.
If anything, China should move north considering climate change. Russia won’t be able to put up much of a fight and there’s a shitton of resources.
Many T-64s smoldering on the fields of Ukraine were produced in the 60s even.
And you don’t need an advanced tactical fighter to blast golf carts.

wonder if it’s a magazine release setup so they can be dropped individually
