RE: Proxy war in Ukraine?
Indeed, damaging both for ukraine, and the notion that this is a proxy war.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

Kind of reminds me of German generals after WW2 creating the myth the Germany's were hopelessly outnumbered and that's why Germany's lost the war. Rather than the Reich's own incompetence and poor management.

I never said attack Russia. I said if you have an issue with wasted powerplants then take it up with Russia.

Hey, remind me, what did the us do then?

Oh, that's right, we provided 180b to the soviet union, compared to the 18b ukraine has received thusfar.

Do you think Russia is playing by someone else's rules?  

I am thinking that's not the case.

Yeah, actually. Chinas and Ukraines. It's not as if they just don't want to win, and wouldn't do worse if they could. You've got them eyeballing taiwan and using this conflict, and russia, as a natural experiment.

They play by their own rules; as I stated in That Gay Thread I think that Vladimir Putin is a puke.

Guess America was fighting a proxy war against Germany... Hehe

Or they were just giving them supplies to help stop an unjust invasion by an insane dictator. But no that's silly....... Dodgy
