[QUOTE=MaxQ;3797579]I do not think I have ever engaged in an ad hominem attack on yourself. I state judgments based on your posts and my knowledge.

No, that is an ASSUMPTION on your part- although indeed we may also disagree on the causes of the war. But I am as entitled to my opinion of the causes of this war as you are to yours.


Oh, useful idiot? And you do not consider "idiot" to be an ad hominem attack? You and I indeed have different views.



You suspect in error.

You make rather a large number I'd assumptions with no real basis in facts. You have in fact little knowledge of the degrees I have, the professional military education I have, or the military experience I have. Your assumptions appear to be based on your whim, rather than any demonstrable facts.

The internet has changed discussion/argument from basically private affairs into an instrument of war waged for the greatest prize.....control of public perception, and hence political/military/police power. I have pointed out at least 3 books, and at least one article from ISSW, that discuss this. It has evolved light years from propaganda, (which is your usual dismissive reply).

Horse$hit. What is there about a discussion of logistics and manpower you believe supports ANYONE's goals. The facts are the facts, validated even by the Ukrainian government. They are desperately short of manpower and have had many of their combat troops in the trenches for 2+ years without relief while taking massive casualties. Do you have any idea just how ineffective troops become in such a situation? Have you ever been in combat?

Which was horse$hit before, horse$hit now, and will be horse$hit if you repeat it. Repeating a lie does not make it the truth

.

Think about what YOU are doing. It's right out of Orwell's 1984​​​​​​​. You are accusing me of being a thought criminal. For that matter, you are acting like the Red Guards chastising some poor school teacher for a lesson plan deviating from Mao's little red book.

​​​​​​​That's both pathetic and laughable at the same time.

ReluctantEskimo

Yes. Let's.

You've spent the last 2 years and a good chunk of your daily ritual slinging RU propaganda for an audience of ~7.

At some point, you gotta wonder what you get out of it. Rubles ain't worth that much these days.

Sliceback

How about telling us about your degrees, professional milltary education or military experience?

Almost every talking head general out there thinks we should be supporting Ukraine *AND* we should be doing more.

Are you a 2, 3, or 4 star general who acutally dealt with manpower, logistics, international relations, and military alliances versus hostile countries? They actually have "demonstrable facts" behind their professional opinion and advice.

Oh yeah, same nose pickers sold us Saddam’s nukes. Generals whistle the Co. tune.

And it's far worse than it used to be because promotions now are more political than they once were.

METO Guido

McCarthyism in reverse. That & pee wee's playhouse at the same time. Tear down Gen. Lee on Traveller today, elect Frankenstein in Rayban's tomorrow.

Excargodog

You are about as inaccurate there as in most of your postings. Take a look at the number of views. Currently it's just north of 194,000. A couple of weeks ago it was 182,000. People are watching and learning. Nor is it "slinging RU propaganda" when I'm quoting sources as reputable as US military studies and air war college papers. You obviously haven't been actually reading what I reference. Equally obviously, other people have.

Generally speaking, actually presenting well thought out arguments is a more effective tactic than just slinging ad hominems and insults but you do you.

TransWorld

I liken the number of views like the number of views of a car wreck, as they pass by. People are fascinated by them.

Sliceback

Will we hit 300,000 views before you present you resume detailing your military career, PME, and degrees?

People aren't getting educated coming to this thread. This is more like coming to the 'Pol Pot International School of Military Studies'....where they kill everyone with any intelligence.
