Ukraine-Russia War Take 2
Here is what the preliminary take on the Ukraine thread disappearing is:
The site was hit with a massive spam attack where hundreds of spam threads were created. In the case where, for example, I see a single spam thread and delete it, that is called a soft delete, and mods can still see them but forum members cannot. Those deletion can be undone.
When a massive attack hits with hundreds of threads, an admin uses a different procedure where the hundreds of spam threads are merged and then hard deleted, where the threads are gone, and no note is left behind. As I have mentioned with my own experience of just soft deleting a large number of posts, sometimes a post or thread gets checked or merged accidentally and is deleted by mistake. Dealing with hundreds of spam threads takes a sledgehammer, not a scalpel.
It appears that our Ukraine thread may have gotten caught up in that recent net of spam threads. If so, it is likely gone for good. I cant say this for sure, and am awaiting comments from admins on this issue. Yes, this sucks. And hopefully there was some other software glitch that caused the disappearance, and we may recover it in the future.
But in the meantime, I have created this new Ukraine-Russia War thread to enable the conversation to continue. Obviously continuity with earlier discussions will be lost. There is no way around that. So as best as possible, let's pick up the conversation with recent events and go from there.
If you have any questions about this, please post them in the mod thread, not here. Let's keep this thread going with posts about the war, not the disappearance of the old thread.
Thanks.
lol somebody has to do it cause clearly people like you will not.
Thats good, combat arms guys dont want pussies in their unit. If you think taking a dick in the ass is worse than getting killed then you need to get your head checked. your mission is to the guys to the left and right of you, it is not about yourself.
If the mission is stay alive and kill the bad guys, you have let yourself and your team down by getting yourself killed instea
Oh, I see. You would take one for the team. Laudable.
And we weren't talking about war, we were talking about prison. But it was convenient for you to move the goalposts there, so that it would make you sound all selfless instead of just a standard coward.

I mean I am happy to be labeled a coward by you , we both know you are more cowardly than I am so whenever you try to bring me down, I just see you there beneath me.
We were talking about war, in the war thread and you said if someone holds a knife to your throat or they are gonna rape you then youre gonna fight back.
you changed the subject, I thought it was fine to keep it going.
I dont know why youre so mad at me, maybe you should just give it a break.
I will give it a break also
What do those two countries have in common, that might make them want to ensure they have a standing and trained military ready to go? Come on, hazard a guess.
Well based on that theory and the fact that Russia will soon be invading Europe and Of course Canada and the USA we best start soon according to the Dems and left wing media
did he enlist in the army with the intention of immediately surrendering once the other army appeared over the hill. i dont get it
No, what difference does that make? Do you think going to afghanistan or iraq means you see combat?
Oh dude gtfo with that bs 😆
.When you mentioned Afghanistan and Eyeraq you were trying to give the impression you were like Arnold in Commando, massacring bad guys left right and centre and doing cool Magyver $hit making IED's outa sugar, twine and a magnifying glass. Then you get your bluff called and you're all like "hey what's the difference I still served even if it was guarding a warehouse full of paper clips in Boise Idaho, I put my life on the line for those paper clips!"
You're embarrassing yourself.
Seriously bro...

Well, my friend Tony did. He was in quite a high command post at the time, but he found himself in NATO HQ in Kabul during a notorious 24-hour rocket-grenade siege by the Taliban. I said 'What did you do?' and he said 'Well, if we wanted to hold a meeting we just went round to the other side of the building, and if they came round there we got under the desks.' He also has a number of combat distinctions going back through various Middle East wars to the Falklands War, and has captained large warships. And I know a bloke who served with a Guards battalion in Helmand, including in close combat.
pretty much everyone at this point
Wow. Considering your love for conspiracies, I would've thought you'd run with the spy opinion.😮
I don't love conspiracies. If I believe in some conspiracy theory it's because that's what the evidence dictates. I'm not going to believe some random Ukrainian girl is a spy just because she speaks several languages.

Something which was called a conspiracy theory ended up being absolutely true.
But it's fairly rare.
Most glaring example are:
1) "smoking gun" WMD in Iraq (completely fake, used to justify the war)
2) Libor conspiracy (bank interest rate conspiracy, huge fraud, among the biggest in history)

I mean, sure, those were cover ups. Were they ever really "conspiracy theories", though?
lol
as the war dies down and russia wins, will you pro war people still take the stance that it was best for ukraine to defend itself and lose hundreds of thousands of men while the end results are the same?
If I was president of ukraine and I did this, and lost, I would publicly apoligize and then kill myself. How disgusting it must be to quarterback the deaths of so many humans and then say it was worth it. Gross
lol
