Wood You Believe

For those not in the know, wooden armor does nearly nothing against any kind of munition that would threaten something like a tank. It’d be very slightly effective against the weakest drones (though posing a fire risk), do nearly nothing against anything greater than 7.62mm, and would be like air to anything beyond that. (There are some nuances here regarding HEAT rounds and shaped charges I’m not discussing.)

This is pointless and mostly dumb.

It’d take approximately 12 feet of wood (depending on type) to stop what three inches of modern alloy armor can keep from penetrating.

Ian Welsh: This is what winning looks like! Total victory for my most-adored Putin!

Everyone else: What the actual goddamn fuck?

(Warning: people definitely do die in the above video. Which somehow fucktard Welsh will also see as a victory.)

Scholzing

I guess that clown is fine with fighting Russia in Germany in 3-5 years. Well, he’s gonna get his wish. It’s interesting how when given a clear and obvious choice, Germany and much of the rest of Europe of their own free will just shoots themselves in the foot repeatedly. I guess they are really into self-harm.

Not Too

The liberals and progressives have become total nutballs about this, to a level I just cannot understand. They moved so fast from #MeToo to “If you can’t stand some sexual assault, being set on fire, or your kids being abused, you’re a MAGA loser!” I mean, what the fuck.

Engage

It amazes me too. That should have been the “Time to quit fucking around” moment and it just was not. NATO should’ve full engaged then and evicted North Korea and Russia from Ukraine.

And we did nothing. Nothing at all.

Old as ’62

Huh. Those T-62s are old. Shows the Russians really are near to running out of anything useful. Those tanks were last produced by Russia in 1975 — 50 years ago now.
