America was a huge inspiration for Hitler.

No, it’s propaganda to maintain that this is meaningful or significant.

Russia is, indeed, having ammo problems. Asking North Korean for Korean War era stocks is absolutely not something a country who felt comfortable with their stocks of ammo would do.

I’m going to go ahead and bet this is another lie you were told. Ok I googled. It literally starts with “White House Says…” jesus man.

Russia, with a significantly larger Air Force cannot gain air superiority.

Significantly larger than zero, yes. What do you mean? Russia has all the air superiority?

It’s absurd that they could not before the NATO armaments showed up, and again, that they effectively cannot attack the civilian power supply shows NATO weapons outcompete Russian offensive firepower. Russia could not hold an island against a country with no navy!

It’s very hard to understand what you’re trying to say but I remember being told that they were attacking themselves in the nuclear plant. Remember that hilarious bullshit?

And if Ukraine is not advancing

Ok they’re advancing alright a couple of kilometers per 10k lives. Nice attrition rate. The Robotyne crap is just propaganda. They’ve got nothing but a kettle that’s soon to be destroyed. How do you believe any of this? They have you supporting Nazis ffs. Get your head out of the news and think for yourself.

You can read in more detail about that infinitesimal advance here.

Ukraine’s military said on Monday that its forces had retaken the southern village of Robotyne, a tactical victory that underlines the immense challenge Kyiv’s counteroffensive faces in punching through deep and dense Russian defenses.

The Ukrainian counteroffensive that began in early June has advanced only a few miles southward to reach Robotyne, in intense fighting with heavy casualties and equipment losses, and a similar distance on another axis to the east. The ultimate target of the thrust to Robotyne is the city of Melitopol, about 45 miles farther south, and more layers of Russian defenses lie in the way.

This is the topographic map. They’ve walked into the lowest lying aread surrounded on all sides by higher ground.

This is what they got for months of throwing tens of thousands of lives into the meat grinder for burgerland. Bravo!

But Russia ran out of ammunition last year didn’t they? Is the Ghost of Kiev not enough to guarantee air superiority? After all, he killed Putin on Snake island already and we’re now on like the third body double or something? And Ukraine is gaining ground. Fucking lol. The shit you american scumbags believe…

Losing ground? You sure? Who told you to think that?

Anyway, my point remains, the US has been shown up to have a shit military with a shit capability. Here, this is a good one:

Delaying deliveries of Abrams tanks could ensure that it enters service after the current period of intensified hostilities has ended, after which the vehicles will be less likely to suffer losses which could affect the class’ reputation - or that of the American defence sector.

Too late losers. Remind me, when was the last war the yanks won?

‘NATO hasn’t shown up yet.’

No idea who you’re quoting here. NATO hasn’t shown up yet because the US are a nation of cowards using the poorest country in Europe as its puppet state to fight their fights for them.

getting your defensive line breached and continuing to lose ground

Oh dear. And you’re accusing others of being in a propaganda bubble.

They’ve made a mockery of US/NATO’s military capabilities. That’s a win surely?

You’re not still believing in Russiagate are you lol?

Then they destroyed the most prosperous country in Africa and now it has open air human slave markets. Fucking yanks.

That’s just about some android bug that may be related. This is affecting all of lemmygrad and as far as I can tell, other lemmy instances too.

I must be in the minority here in thinking that this is virtually site-breaking. Whatever broke this should have been rolled back immediately.

I logged in after a few days to about 20 replies and had no easy way to tell what comment of mine people were replying to. I gave up searching after a while.

Poo

The Soviet union hasn’t existed for several decades. Are you a time traveler?

Not an answer. There was nothing good about it. It was a stupid waste of time and innocent life.

It achieved nothing but the killing of two innocent people and almost killing their daughter. What was good about it?

Nice, thanks!

I’m still trying to get a handle on how best to go about this. Which instance is best for a base account? If I use this one on lemmygrad I might find that a bunch of these won’t federate. But if I try to use my account on lemmy.world, it too can’t find communities on other instance.Example, your top one there, ableton@waveform.social made me check if there was a reaper one, it found one here:

Reaper@lemmy.studio

This ended up being a rubber ducking session and I found the solution myself. Here it is for anyone else who needs to know:

This is a direct link for the Reaper community on Lemmy.Studio:

https://lemmy.studio/c/reaper

and this is a link to the same community that you can subscribe to, from your lemmygrad account.

https://lemmygrad.ml/c/**reaper@lemmy.studio**

Hallelujah I get it now! Probably should have rtfm earlier.

EDIT: new problem to solve now is lemmy markup, HTF to format that second link in bold…?
