The question is WTF are we doing?


Based on the state of the Russian Army and society I’d say we are winning.

If that’s the wests actual goal.

You call Russia and China being allies now, "winning"?

Would you?
Really?
By what criterion?




The Tsar Bomb ...
In 1961, the Soviets deployed the most powerful nuclear device ever tested (before or since). It was dropped from a Soviet bomber and detonated at 13K feet.

• The yield was ~50 megatons.
• The mushroom cloud was 25 miles wide at its base and almost 60 miles wide at its top.
• At 40 miles high, it penetrated the stratosphere.
• Everything within a 75 mile circle was vaporized
• Severe damage — enough to entirely annihilate any modern major city — extended to 150 miles radius, or a 300mi diameter.
• Windows 700 miles away in Norway and Finland were shattered by force of the blast.

The question is why, at what cost and what happens when the Putin regime is toppled? Did we learn anything from the decades long “wars” in Iraq and Afghanistan to all three of those questions?
