    Not to be a tankie or whatever but I’m gonna be pretty peeved if NATO’s cope at losing escalates this shit into nuclear war. Threads did not make that look fun, like, at all.

    Do you want to hollow out the core of your professional military? Because this is how you hollow out the core of your professional military.

    Almost all NATO countries are struggling to meet recruiting quotas. Telling an undecided teen that he might be sent to die in Ukraine even if he lands a non combat role is recruiting suicide.

    The west hasn’t suffered negative consequences from war in recent memory. Maybe they’d be less belligerent if they did

    I feel France is leading the charge because you need a nuclear armed country to deter tactical nuclear weapons which are likely part of Russia’s strategy. However, France can’t match Russia on tactical nukes, they would need to escalate with nuclear cruise missiles and submarine MIRVs

    CIA agents, NED bozos, and American mercenaries were already there training/arming Ukraine two years ago, so I’m frankly surprised there wasn’t already noncombat troops there.

      The world wars were relatively brief as wars go. In and out. Four year adventure.

      Compare that to Vietnam, Afghanistan, and Iraq. This feels more like we’re setting up another 30 Years War.

        I don’t really think so. The level of brutality world wars pretty much always necessitate is the reason they are short. You cannot sacrifice that amount of people forever.

          Idk if I’d discount the brutality of Vietnam, between the cluster bombs and zippo raids and land mines and Agent Orange defoliant.

          That war was about as brutal as it was possible to get, shy of nuclear strikes.

          I think the WWs were, perhaps, more brief because of their scale. Very hard to maintain two fronts across central Europe for any length of time.

            Vietnam was different for sure, but it just isn’t the same situation as a world war where multiple modernized military forces are going at it with the most cutting edge technology and tactics available. I think another reason world wars don’t last as long is because they are wars that are much harder to extract profit out of too. You have to sink an insane amount of resources into it at the cost of pretty much all other economic activity.

      In the west for everyone in the PMC and upwards consequences do not exist and have never existed their entire lives. Bad stuff only happens to people far away or to poors that don’t work hard enough. Most of them genuinely do not think that it will affect them.

      The guilt of genocide can’t be pushed down anymore. Each subsequent war is a way to redeem themselves. It’s a form of long term self harm

      We should not for a second believe “oh we’re not going to send anybody who’d directly harm anyone,” but I believe most military personnel do not directly fight. Support/logistics needs are immense.
