Ownership of Greenland is Essential to Our Security

FIFY.

Not following. Are you implying that Russia does not have nuclear weapons?

You have packages with fissile material and explosives.

Whether they will actually produce a nuclear yield is quite another matter.

Yes, we are stupid.

It's not about being stupid; it's about being poor. The weapons haven't been tested in thirty-five years and we know they don't last that long without continuous expensive maintenance. JH and LP appear to be calling into question whether Russia has actually been doing the required periodic refurbishment. The Ukraine war revealed that a lot of Russia's conventional weapons systems fail for lack of maintenance. Which isn't surprising given its overall resource limitations -- tradeoffs have to be made. So since Russia hasn't even been spending what it needs to spend on maintaining the weapons it actually intends to use, why should we believe Russia is prioritizing maintenance of weapons that are only for making threats?

Plus looting. Remember the empty Progress that got sent to the ISS? And the Chinese missiles found to be "fueled" with water?

It's not about being stupid;

No, it's about being stupid. You called russians stupid.
All modern nukes require constant and serous maintenance and material replacement, without that they become duds in just a few years.
But according to you, russians forgot all about that after 1991. At the same time you go and bitch about Ukrainian nukes which they according to you gave up in that memorandum. OK,

And what's next? russian nuclear subs don't exist. it's all fiction?

It's not a matter of forget, it's a matter of corruption.

Analysis of Land Army Maintenance Techniques in the War in Ukraine

"Based on the available photos, we can talk about the poor basic maintenance of some Russian trucks. Trucks are the backbone of any modern motorized military force. The photo we refer to shows potential tire damage on a multimillion-dollar Pancir-S mobile missile system. With such an expensive combat system, it is expected that its maintenance would be first class. However, this vehicle was left stuck in the Ukrainian mud just a few weeks after the war began.42​

​

If trucks are not moved often, the rubber on their wheels becomes brittle and the tire walls are susceptible to cracks and tears. The problem is common when tires are used with low pressure to cope with the muddy conditions that Russian forces have faced in the Ukrainian plains. When military truck tires are left in one place for months on end, the sidewalls become brittle in the sun and fail. No one has used that Pancir-S for probably a year.43​

​

For Western experts who specialize in U.S. Army truck maintenance issues, the condition of Pancir-S is a revealing mistake. “If you don’t do preventive maintenance for something that important, then it’s very clear that the entire fleet was treated similarly,” they say.44 Photos provide evidence of other trucks with similar problems.45"​

Yup. I have a cart in the garage that gets used rarely--no sun, but still the tires will eventually fail if I didn't store it on jackstands. I have yet to figure out a good solution for the wheelbarrow.

Turn it upside down?

I'd stand it on end up against a fence or wall. Turn it upside down and not use it for some time and you never know what might scare the bejesus out of you the next time you flip it over.

 

[SLD]

Because sub v sub isn’t that big of an issue. Air assets are the best ASW platform in open ocean.

You are assuming having Air assets.

True. But operating air assets over the open ocean from bases deep in CONUS is quite feasible and likely absent full scale nuclear war. Your not likely to be knocking down air assets from a couple of thousand miles away.

I do? Quote me.

Yes, you as a whole russophobe gang

I.e., you think of your outgroup as interchangeable parts. Good show. As for the "russophobe" bit, did it escape your attention that we're the ones saying Russia may not really be as scary as Russians portray it, and you're the one telling us that yes, we really should be scared of you?

 

[ZiprHead]

Does not prevent the UNusual expert here to claim superiority of american Russian shit.

FTFY

The real issue is that one cannot just decide that they want something someone else has and take it.

Everything else is just dick waving and actually wanting to take Greenland and Panama Canal is just a bunch of dick waving by an impotent demented psychopath.

Well, taking other people's stuff is pretty much human history.

Four endless years of this nonsense....and he's already topped himself, because he has yet to be #47 for even one second, and it already seems like a miserable eternity. He's. Effin'. Crazy.

It's certainly DJT's entire life story.

You don't shit about corruption in Russia.
The last dumb-ass who based his plans of invasion into Russia on Russian corruption and incompetence ended up burning in a the ditch. Just saying. And you are basing the war you started on the same.

Started with US military experts discussing Russian nuclear subs and ended with LP's troubles with wheelbarrow.

Which war is that, pray tell?

 

[barbos]

Which war is that, pray tell?

Russo-american proxy (through Ukraine) war.
First you tried to maidan elected government in Russia - did not work. Then you honestly believed that sanctions would destroy stupid Russia. Did not happen. Then you thought you can win if you give ukro-nazis enough weapons, money, training, intelligence, direct military planning and control. That did not work either. Now, you are caught with pants down and thinking how to get out of the situation without actually admitting the obvious.

They were so clever that they "forced" Russia to attack Ukraine before providing Ukraine with the weapons. money, etcetera.
That is some strange cleverness.

First of all, US/NATO did provide military support to Kiev Regime prior to 2022. Second of all, I repeat again, the plan was to defeat Russia solely with blitz.... sanctions.

Phobia!=scared.
Yes, western scam have schizophrenic views where on one side they say Russia has a tiny, irrelevant incapable army, economy, you name it. On the other hand they say, if we let Ukraine fall Putin's war machine will take over whole Europe.
Which one is that? It can't be both.
