    Troops worked on new maneuvers patched together from watching Ukraine fight Russia.

    Lmfao. So they’re fighting to every last Ukrainian as a training exercise, so that they can observe how to lose a war as preparation for losing to China.

        You know thats how the west sees Ukraine, because that’s the main propaganda they run about Russia with the “disposable hordes sent to die on the Frontline”.

        Every accusation is a confession.

        Pretty sure they consider USians equally disposable. And easier to leverage their deaths for manufacturing consent.

          Well, re:Iraq/Afghanistan, news of soldiers coming back in caskets very much contributed to Bush’s unpopularity. At the end of the day, chanting “we’re fighting for freedom! and democracy!” isn’t enough to keep 'muricans in hawkish zeal. It popped the popular perception that pointy end of the military industrial complex was only for brown people non-americans. Which is why proxy wars are the go-to now, much more secure in support from the metropole.
