all you’re going to do is blow one of his legs off. He’ll still be able to use his arms, hold his gun, and return fire. i’m sorry but this just doesn’t seem like it’s very tactically advantageous…
They can’t be bargained with. They can’t be reasoned with. They don’t feel pity, or remorse, or fear… and they absolutely will. Not. Speak English. Which makes bargaining really difficult.
I recently had two women handing out pamphlets. One was older, the younger one was very nervous and talking with a French accent. I just take the pamphlets, thank them and let them move on. I don’t see a point in harassing people who are nice and polite to me.
The JW are a brainwashed cult thatd collapse in a generation or two if you removed the leadership. I legit feel sorry for them, to be bound to such a group, too bad their founders are all dead cause they deserved far worse than what they got.
They’re nice and polite to you. They’re incredibly awful abusers to everyone they managed to rope into their cult, and especially to anyone who was born into it.
So no, they don’t deserve to have their fake niceness returned. Unless it’s to stall them to maybe prevent them from conning a lonely neighbor into their cult.
People will decide what is best for them. Blocking access to websites for having ad blocker or having no ad blocker is an asshole move. I know it is intended for pun, but still.
Encouraging and forcing is different. Just because forcing ad blocker on people is aligned with so many people’s view doesn’t mean that it is a great move. Anything that is forced on people is an asshole move.
Impossible to know for sure but pre-war the estimate was about 14,000 total with about 5,000 of them being “active”. The other 9,000 of them were in storage. If all of the number are accurate that means that Ukraine has destroyed Russia’s entire pre-war active tank inventory and the only reason that Russia has tanks on the battlefield now is because they are pulling from their Soviet Era stockpiles. How many of those even CAN be made to operate is anybody’s guess but I’d be surprised if they could get more than 2/3rds, or roughly 6,000 units, field ready.
I think it’s reasonable to say that the UA has destroyed around half of the total number of tanks that Russia is capable of fielding.
@Buelldozer I was looking to calculate the percentage, but holly crap, that's a lot!
Perhaps Russia is still using some of those tanks that are considered as "active" as it brought tanks from storage before. I guess it will still be a lot until Ukraine will destroy the last such tank from Russian Army's inventory, but it's still impressive for a nation like Ukraine, even with all the Western help.

That, plus the ones they’re continuing to build. It’s not like they’ve 0 industry.
according to perun this started happening some time ago with share of destroyed BMP-1 rising and BMP-2 falling (BMP-3s seem to be destroyed at a constant pace probably meaning that they are manufactured all the time) same thing happening with older models of tanks appearing in larger numbers www.youtube.com/watch?v=ctrtAwT2sgs
I know I previously linked a video of Covert Cabal counting tanks (see my other comment), but he just today released a video counting Russia’s IFVs in storage.
IRC IISS claimed 17500 before the war broke out. Remember that the Russians basically throw nothing away, so that probably includes tanks left to rot in a field somewhere. But they're not above sending soldiers to the front in a half rotten bean can, not as if they care.
