Since the Russian army can barely handle the Ukraine military... shouldn't a European country like Germany attack Russia and steal their resources?

[TickleMe4ForFun]

Russia is trying to show their strength, yet lost 6 aircraft in the first few hours. They aren't as badass as they think they are... so why aren't other countries attacking them while their military is spread thin in the Ukraine?

A week later, and the Russian military has STILL not taken over Kyiv!!! What a joke of a military!! The U. S.. now knows it could easily walk into Russia and disarm their nukes. It is just a matter of time before the Russians surrender!

2 weeks into this Russian invasion, and the Ukrainians are showing the world how weak the Russian military is! It is GREAT! The U. S. is now more powerful knowing only China can challenge us militarily. And China has too much invested economically to destroy our economy by having a military war with the U. S.

[SlightlyEccentric]

You realize Germany doesn't even really have an army right? It's pretty much a small defense force and even then they are not very competent in protecting their own country. Besides I don't think the Germans are very keen on the idea of invading Russia again.

[Soteris]

Great idea, except that Russia has nukes. Also no one I respect has really said that Russias military is all that bad-ass. They have some nice units but fundamentally Russia is a nation in decline and that is reflected in its military.

[El_Dugin]

Not being respected by a neoconservative like you is a bad of honor I guess.

[El_Dugin]

badge of honor *

[Soteris]

@El_Dugin Neoconservative? I am basically a socialist you know. Pretty much as far away from a neocon as you can get.

Just send in the British SAS or the American SEALs to "double tap" that mentally deranged despot Putin...Problem Solved...Job Done...Simples.

[EmmaMary]

Thank you for the MHGirl.

[SlightlyEccentric]

Yeah don't think that's a good idea since he ordered his nuclear force on high alert

[Gwenhwyfar]

Ukraine is putting on a better defense than Russia expected

[TickleMe4ForFun]

Imagine if the roles reverse and the Ukraine ends up getting Putin out of office! Lol

[Gwenhwyfar]

It’s possible 😊

[Kiran_Yagami]

Of course they've lost aircraft. This is the point where the Ukrainian defenses are the strongest. This is the point where Russian losses will be the heaviest. No-fucking-duh. Once their defenses have been softened and their anti-air batteries are destroyed, the Russians will have their way with them. Russia's strength has NEVER been in flawless execution. It's in overwhelming numbers and heavy armor.

[ShadezMcgee]

You can still lose aircraft and win a fight. USA did during WWII in Operation Overlord.

There is more to it than numbers. Order of battle, weapon capabilitirs, disposition, terrain and leadership shape a fight. Not numbers.

[AndrésC64]

I'm really having a hard time deciding how to respond to this. I can't tell if you were a troll or just plain stupid. If you ever heard of a thing call nuclear weapons?

[DARKCLOUD1945X]

Yeah, mutual destruction of all sound like a great plan to end all conflict, in fact end everything, no one will worry about anything anymore.

[EdwinLivingston]

Nobody knows the power of Russia. Russian military is dangerous and now they have a motherfucking leader.

[Agape93]

6 aircraft out of thousands. They don't give a shit about 6 aircraft.

[TickleMe4ForFun]

If they are as dominant, as they think they are... how did the weaker Ukrainian army take out ANY of their planes? Maybe they aren't as dominant as their egos believe!

[wankiam]

they can't take off on destroyed airfields though... your a friend so all i would say to you at this point is do remember to question American state media because here, we aren't being fed quite the same story

[Agape93]

Surface to air missile systems. So yeah its bound to happen. Don't be naive. Russia is going to unfortunately steamroll Ukraine.

[Agape93]

Exactly

[wankiam]

with that ammount of misinformation its hard to even respond to this

[TickleMe4ForFun]

Misinformation? Russia is losing this war after the 1st day.

[wankiam]

really... they have destroyed ukraines air force overnight and why? not to declare war or to harm civillians but to stop ukraine bombing donbass... do you not know about this stuff. its been like a civil war there fore several years now

[grega239]

6 aircraft lost... im no expert but isn't that part of a war?
Germany already tried invading russia. Do you know what happened?
They lost badly.

[TickleMe4ForFun]

No, the Germans tried to invade the SOVIET UNION which was comprised of Ukrainians. The Ukrainians and Belarussians were the ones that held off the Nazis.

[grega239]

No they didn't. Nazis got to moscow. Moscow is in russia.

[DCooper]

Europe has had 30 years to prepare for this. Surely they aren't all just standing around with their pants around their ankles again, right?

[DARKCLOUD1945X]

And if you believe that I have a bridge to sell you cheap. they will lose a few aircraft tanks and personal to sucker you in and clobber you. The Russians have one of the finest armies in the world.

[Dargil]

Modern Germany is a paper tiger. Their army is 180,000. Russia's is 900,000

[Likes2drive]

Good point but I guess they don’t want to start World War III with nuclear warheads being launched from Russia to who knows where

[UdontNeedtoknow]

Stay out of it. Let Ukraine fight there own fight. I don't want this to get anymore out of control and escalate to nuclear weapons.

[jasco]

Because germany military sucks. Russia has 100s of aircraft. Losing a few won't hurt it

[joeldalton]

lol. I didn't realize we had a military strategist on GaG.

[jahaims]

That isn't how it works

[Infinitely_Myself]

I dont think that is how it should work
