I dont think we should follow dumbass Lindsey Grahams line of thinking of shooting down Russian planes, but this does need a response. A strong one too. Expedited fighter jets to Ukraine and an official public cosign on the liberation of Crimea
I've got sparse knowledge on Military stuff, but someone gotta explain to me how Iraq, Afghanistan etc managed to push USA/Nato's shyt in to some extend and made them fall back within the last 2 decades with effectively ragtag resources. . . While Ukraine has the whole of Europe and USA supplying them yet are taking vicious L's against Russia like this. CACs arent really built for this right
Because you're not comparing the same thing.
An occupation war is a two step process : first, you invade the territory/take over the government then you (try to) hold it/fight the insurgency. Afghanistan fell after a couple of months, same for Iraq and that's what you should compare the current events to.
Because Russia is still in that first phase after a year so you need to wait til they capture Kiev then you need to wait until they fight the resulting insurgency to see how this war will ultimately compare to Iraq and Afghanistan.
You might wait a long ass time though.
Afghanistan was calm and under control. Even attacks on soldiers had stopped. Trump made the deal to pull out and Biden honored it so the taliban waited in the wings until D-Day.I've got sparse knowledge on Military stuff, but someone gotta explain to me how Iraq, Afghanistan etc managed to push USA/Nato's shyt in to some extend and made them fall back within the last 2 decades with effectively ragtag resources. . .

Remember those Afghans that held on to the landing gear and wings of the planes and made it to Germany? That was so dope.Remind me if Biden (rightly) hightailed the US outta there last year or nah? Taliban strolled right back in right (almost bloodlessly too)
I wouldn't hold my breath on that. The US is all in on this. Putin gotta go.
Or Spring...When the Ukrainian offensive hits this Summer
Those AR's had almost zero recoil. Wow.

Poland plans to give Ukraine Soviet-made MiG-29 fighter jets, becoming the first NATO country to provide long-sought warplanes since the Russian invasion began last year, Polish President Andrzej Duda said at a news conference Thursday. The first four are set to arrive in the coming days. Western governments had thus far declined to send fighter jets out of concern over escalating tensions between NATO and Russia.

Reporters - Documenting the horror of mass rape in Ukraine
In Ukraine, the justice system is now documenting potential war crimes committed by Russian forces, with the hope of one day seeing the perpetrators face justice. Like in all conflicts, women are the…

Does the US military teach recruits to shoot rifles from both right and left shoulder or from your dominant side/hand ? Or in general? We only shot a Mossberg shotgun in bootcamp and M9 pistol.

Dominant. They gave us an opportunity to try with the offhand, but we had to re-zero our weapons which is a PAIN, so most of us opted-out of that type of training. My weapon in SOI was the M-249 SAW and NO WAY IN HELL can you fire it lefty unless you get a brass adapter.
Nothing like a hot cartridge ejected in your eye.
Don't ask me how I know.
