It's easy to miss at a glance, but the recently captured T-90M is one of the rarer, and more valuable T-90M's produced.
Why is that? This model uses Russia's domestically produced PNM-T gunner sights, their replacement for French sights they no longer have access to.
Not only will the tank itself be fully studied, but the west will now be able to see how Russia's domestic optics perform (probably shit).
for comparison
The French are probably breaking sanctions and still selling their stuff to Russia.
Macron has always been pro-Russia.
Nah, Macron just wanted to be the paragon of peace and diplomacy who prevented the war proving that the French should lead the EU in a post-Merkel, Brexit era. He was horribly humiliated and looked like a moron so you can bet he's fuming right now and wishes to personally have Putin slaughtered.
The UK should lead the EU, without rejoining it.
After the war it's going to be Ukraine. Biggest army, one of the biggest countries, most recently rebuilt with the next Marshall Plan money, natural gas reserves to fuel the rest of Europe.
Ukraine will be in shambles with quarter of their population left, whole cities destroyed and a million demobilized jobless men.
Now Poland on the other hand...
Poland is still not a Net Contributer to EU Funds, so they wont lead shit.
EU leadership is based on population not wealth. Same reason Central Europe is causing butthurt for France and Germany (who previously dominated the EU votes).
>Quarter of the population left
Imagine being psyopsed this hard lmao
>a million demobilized jobless men
Sounds like the CIA has what it needs to take over eastern europe.
Ukraine will for at minimum the next 5 years, more likely 20, be too devastated and indebted to truly lead the EU. Membership will immediately and significantly shift the balance of its economy and political webworks east, but in the near term it's more likely to become a hotbed of industrial and construction investment than a real kingmaker.
I think the biggest thing an EU Ukraine does in the immediate term is significantly boost the political clout of Poland and maybe the Baltic states, but between the tiny size of the Baltics and Poland's financial insolvency they still won't become the helmsmen of the union.
It's gonna take a while and a whole pallet of American cash but Ukraine's going to become the Texas of Europe and I can't fricking wait. Put Western Europe in charge of the economics, Eastern Europe in charge of the army and leave America/UK in charge of the intelligence and maybe then the EU can unfrick themselves.
>Ukraine's going to become the Texas of Europe
With israelites and trannies and no gun rights?
2 out of 3 for texas I guess.
low effort bait.
you're off topic too.
but ill bite.
texas is probably the most open state for gun rights.
we are one of the few states to recently pass anti troony laws (parents can be charged with child abuse for allowing children to be given elective surgeries and certain medications)
the israelites thing idk about but we have too many mexican catholics for them to be too much of a problem.
see HB 957 for a good example of being pro gun and anti fed
see any of the couple DOZEN "anti trans" bills that were proposed in 2021.
ukraine isnt gonna be anything like texas tho.
Texas gun rights are a meme. You’re half a step better than the looney liberals in Minnesota, and until very recently (prior to constitutional carry), were actually worse (look at massive list of places carry was banned). The only good thing about Texas and guns is defense of property.
Plus you’re the number one emigration target for people fleeing California, so shit’s not going to continue improving.
Is it forgone conclusion Ukraine really wants to join the EU of that cuts it off from outside trade and investment? The anglosphere is mostly backing this war why should tepidly-allied Europe benefit from the new blood and reconstruction ?
Since when is "The Anglosphere" a trade agreement or an organisation?
It isn't but being inside the EU basically excludes trade and investment from non-EU countries. It's not a given its to Ukraine's benefit to join the EU if it's getting loads of development anyway either as post-war goodwill or reparations, especially when the world outside the EU is much more economically dynamic and faster-growing.
That's not what Ukrainians themselves seem to believe.
>It isn't but being inside the EU basically excludes trade and investment from non-EU countries
what?
>being inside the EU basically excludes trade and investment from non-EU countries
In what bizarro moronic fantasy world exactly? The EU is one of the biggest and wealthiest markets in the world. Shockingly, investors and corporations are quite willing to put up with their policies, because even with those there's still a shitload of money to be made in there.
>In what bizarro moronic fantasy world exactly?
Bri'in, obviously. He's having a break between "footy" on the "telly", being soppy about the Queen and complaining about "fookin' pakkies" at a local boozer.
>being inside the EU basically excludes trade and investment from non-EU countries
You what m8? Are you avin a laff m8?
when is "The Anglosphere" a trade agreement or an organisation?
Since they are all friendly nations. Also frick people that don't speak English.
>should tepidly-allied Europe benefit from the new blood and reconstructi
Because now the us has a giant pro America and anti-french member in the eu
This. In addition to Bolan, Binlan, and the Baltics, the EU will have the most rabidly anti-Russian country on the planet as member. This bloc will prove quite a counterweight to pasta/kraut/frog attempts at re-normalizing relations with Russia. If they could kick out pro-Russian politicians from governing coalitions in Czechia, Slovakia and Romania, this could prove one helluva "cordon sanitaire".
>If they could kick out pro-Russian politicians from governing coalitions in Czechia
They are mostly gone now. Upcoming eections might prove tricky, but I don't think much will change. Slovakia suffers a worse situation, for some unexplained reason they have an unholy amount of russian wienersuckers.
What should be noted however is that Ukraine with their large, mostly conservative population (which is now also staunchly militant and nationalistic), will be a great counterweight to already struggling libleft/green wing of EUparliament. This mixed alongside clear path of Ukraine joining V4 structure could mean quite radical change in whole EU trajectory towards a very different kind of beast in upcoming years.
Couple this all with an obvious current European tendency of getting rid of the most absurd new left social experiments and things could be pretty interesting over the next decade.
Yes. Because here's the thing: When you join a giant protectionist trade block, you get to trade with them really easily. You also get to benefit from the trade deals that they have already negotiated.
The EU desperately needs more bodies to keep labour costs down and Turkey is now politcally unavailable.
Turkey was always politically unviable, muslims are unpopular and erDogan bragging about literal demographic warfare didn't help.
Slavs are unpopular too, but a lot more palatable.
Despite what some bongs think, the EU can be quite beneficial
You can just admit it was a bad call to leave. You don't have to play moron gymnastics.
NTA, I don't think it would have been, if they still had the Empire. But they don't, so it was probably a bad move.
Someone had to do it. Unfortunately, it didn't work, because the EU threw all their toys out the pram and showed how childish they are that one of their tea party members is leaving, and promptly forgot that maybe, just maybe, the 3rd leading net contributor leaving might mean something is wrong and needs changing, but instead of listening to us whine and taking in some feedback, they activated their EU "nationalism" sleeper agents that hypnotized every PoS (person of onions) in the Francosphere, and took it as an opportunity to wave around EU flags and "unify" under the common HATRED for us abhorrent Bongs. Fast forward to today, and this is the most powerful public organizational institution in Europe: https://youtu.be/CDT1lsaxOQo
All things considered, I think we will be Okay™ in the end.
LMAO, the sheer amount of Bong seething in this post.
Yeah. I hate them.
aren't you meant to be in mourning? I'm reporting you to Scotland Yard right now
That's effectively what's happened re: Ukraine.
Brexit was a mistake and you know it.
It wasn't, the EU is a disease that shouldn't exist.
Nobody cares, go whine in your local pub.
Apparently you do €urogay. How does it feel knowing all your whining wasn't enough to change reality?
I would be fine with the EU if it was just a free-trade agreement/customs union with other European countries.
Instead it turned into a cancerous abomination of an institution created by career politicians for career politicians to get rich off lobbying and donations.
These same politicians make moronic decisions against logic and reason. Like opening the borders to millions of 'refugees' aka fighting age men from active war zones, and closing down nuclear power because 'mUh EnViRoNmEnT' whilst opening coal and gas plants to cover the shortfall. That and becoming reliant on Russian oil and gas without any backup plans because we all knew they could be trusted.
That's why I voted to leave. Frick Brussels, frick Strasbourg and frick the EU & EC.
Kek anon, you've been sold down the river by your own career politicians. I know Lord Cash and Robin Birley personally (t. richgay) and the ERG are trapping you in a sinking ship while they prepare to completely monopolize British industry for their own benefit. And no - it's not some patriotic good. It's the same bonanza as Hanwiener giving government Covid contracts to his old fricking pub landlord. It's an oldboys game and the economy is rigged to keep them bleeding you dry.
Now you can debate me on whether the EU is any different, but trading away the benefits of free movement (when you still have the same amount of immigration) and a larger freemarket for an equally squalid amount of cronies is a dumb fricking take. If you're not working in London (and if you're not working in defence, show business, property or fiscal services) you're going to see your income go from Argentina 1913 to Falklands tier. And there's no way out. Scotland will leave for the EU passport, and the potato Black folk will continue to outgrow you in GDP.
In that case you have people at home you can holdd directly responsible instead of some unelected bureaucrat in Brussels.
>you can holdd directly responsible
Good luck suing anyone rich, especially outside a class action lawsuit lmao
The only way to control the rich is by having them compete among themselves
Britain's free from being ruled by unelected bureaucrats in Brussels and back to being ruled by unelected mandarins in Whitehall.
>some unelected bureaucrat in Brussels
Who was elected by the european citizenry or by people elected by the european citizenry.
>potato Black folk will continue to outgrow you in GDP
our GDP is fake ill have you know
Bring back the EEC.
Always have been.
>hurr durr Ukraine is important to the EU as an organization
Angloids are so fricking moronic holy shit
The U.S. should lead it. You’ll just be our official satellite and little b***hes instead of insinuating it. Well teach you socialism is bad and to hate that blacks and browns instead of sucking their wiener
>We'll teach you to hate that blacks and browns
We voted for a black/brown person on the presidential ticket twice in the last 3 presidential elections.
Feels good actually. I don't think I'd enjoy being a 2-ton Amerish*rt with quadruple diabeetus and always one missed paycheck away from homeless and a trip to the state-funded rape shack (a.k.a. jail/prison). Land of the free indeed. Free to be incarcerated, that is.
>People going to prison for debt
Not that I disagree that the US has problems, but people don't fricking go to jail for fricking debt
I was talking about the homelessness part. The U.S. practically criminalizes not being a docile lil' worker bee.
Also, you're just plain wrong:
>https://www.solosuit.com/posts/284
>The U.S. practically criminalizes not being a docile lil' worker bee.
You've never been to a part of the US that actually has fricking homeless issues
They're basically allowed to do whatever the frick, occasionally get fines they'll never pay back, and get their camps shuffled around the city.
>You're wrong
No your article is vague. You go to jail after failing to respond to a lawsuit, where you're basically sent to jail for disobeying the court. It's not as simple as "you owe me, go to prison lol" because if you show up you can negotiate for a settlement, where the Debtees get to bilk you for money longer and frick your credit over for longer, which is what they want.
They can't bilk you for money if you're in jail (only private jails get to do that, and that's a completely different pile of bullshit).
The Jails are too full of people who went there on drug charges anyway.
That's because the bottom feeders are mentally ill low IQ filth, not special visionaries. They need to be kept away from me and mine and I'll gleefully pay the state to do it because poors a shit who have never done anything for me.
>impoverishing large parts of your populace is actually GOOD
Enjoy your collapsing society, turbo moron.
The only thing that's being insinuated is your inferiority, colonial.
I have no idea how anybody votes for or puts any faith in a man who got groomed by his high school teacher and then MARRIED her. How the frick is his wife not in jail right now? Her literal children are older than he is. Is France just that fricked up?
have sex
Mature pussy game is mad.
t. Was dating 41yo when I was 33.
Unless you meant 13 that isn’t even close to the same thing
We all had hot teacher we wished we could bang, he just did it.
He's still a massive moron.
Not him, but there is a key difference between fricking your hot teacher when she is in her 30s or 40s and between then staying with her when she is ancient mummy tier. I've fricked my art history teacher when she was in her 40s, it is still one of my favorite sexual memories even now when I am in my 30s, and I still can't sincerely imagine sticking with her to a geriatric age while I am still fairly young.
The key difference is more the scruples and the life of the older partner. If you find someone attractive at 40, odds are they'll still be good to go at 50, and by the time they're 60 you're used to them. The problem is the rest of each person's life. A 20yo goes to college and gets a job elsewhere, a 40yo possibly has children and older family, and so people with large age differences grow apart.
She wasn’t hot though
She had that mom's charm when she was younger, plus there is the thing about her being your teacher.
I agree she is not my type. But we French have always had little care for the little fantasm of our leaders. American President cheating on his wife may cause scandals, but here, our President fricking around is expected if anything.
Real men frick b***hes. LOTS of b***hes.
Russia, no!
Everyone is "groomed", moron. Including yourself and your aversion to grooming by individuals, but forget marketing and propaganda...
>How the frick is his wife not in jail right now?
In America, drugging and fricking a 13 year old is called a felony. In France, it's called giving them a good time.
...unless you're a famous Hollywood director, in which case it's not "rape rape".
you know that guy fled the country and is hiding in France, right
Macron became president of the eu just before the war. He wanted to show all of Europe that he was the diplomatic napoleon. moron.
Macron is still saying we should not bé too harch and he fired the while ambassador corps of France other them saying he was a moron to trust Russia.
As a french i think hé is idiotic about this and going down the path of " i incestes too much into this to let it go"
Make our country looks even more like morons than usual
>He was horribly humiliated and looked like a moron
Can you expand on this?
t. brainlet newslet
Not that anon, but he tried playing peace maker in early days when Ukies did not wanted to give up and Russians haven't lost anything that bad, so neither side had any motivation for peace. He went to Moscow, called with Putin repeatedly with monke basically laughing at him and shitposting irl. Obviously, this alone does not bode well for infamous French ego, especially not JVPITER's ego.
The fact rest of the European countries laughed at him as well - vatBlack folk for implying stronk Russia needs to talk with Ukraine and normal people for cucking out to talks with Russia - did not help either.
The fact it in the end provided ZERO results apart from France being a joke for a week or so, a cherry on top of this sad cake.
Well actually he doesn't, but God I fricking hope he would just to piss you off. We frogs need money and russians are making tons of cash selling gas at inflated prices, plus ukrainians are winning too much right now, asking for free stuff, and not paying a dime under the pretense of protecting Europe, while Russia has demonstrated it was so shit it couldn't threaten one meter of european clay, which kind of defeats the pretense.
Also we both know if oil wasn't an issue, this war would be designed to last as long as possible to make more money for oil&gas companies as well as the US MIC who will need mo' money for the program of replenishing arsenals, especially european ones since yuro mongs buy everything in the US.
But this crisis is not a manufactured BBQ of adidas people by any shady interests and factions I swear!

Fricking Jacques here wants to talk geopolitics when a fricking hamburger company could end French sovereignty for profit.
LMAO. America's too chicken to try that shit on a nuclear power. Always was, is, and always will be.
>
>America's too chicken to try that shit on a nuclear power.
In 1967, De Gaulle kicks NATO out of France. The very next year, mass protests break out in Paris, the French government falls, and De Gaulle has to flee to West Germany. Coincidence? Of course not. It was the CIA's doing.
The Cultural Revolution destabilizes China and the possibility of a nuclear power descending into civil war becomes very real. But only a month after Mao's death, the Gang of Four are arrested in a bloodless palace coup. Then less than two years after he was purged for counter-revolutionary tendencies, the pro-capitalist reformer Deng Xiaoping becomes Paramount Leader. This dramatic transition from Red Terror to open cooperation with the United States could not have happened organically. It was the work of the CIA.
And Gorbachev was obviously working for the West long before the Wall fell. Do you really think he was stupid enough to try and out pizza the hut? No, he was one of the sleeper agents the CIA installed as part of the MKDeepdish program.
What is this moronic /misc/ tier fever dream that you're spouting wtf?!? The establishment of warm(er) relations with the US occurred during Mao's reign, not after.
I swear sometimes you guys spout your own fantasies so often you start believing it yourselves.
It was satire you window licking gorilla Black person.
>America's too chicken to try that shit on a nuclear power
No, they aren't. In no small part this is due to the fact that many places the US has an interest in knocking over already publicly blame western intelligence whenever they stub their toe while their domestic intelligence services glowBlack person seven hells out of their own population and neighbors and generally do a sloppier job of it than Langley does - unless you have an incontrovertible smoking gun, the government blaming whatever uprising or revolution happens on "American agents" will be seen as a hollow deflection and carry very little water in the face of genuine public sentiment, CIA-influenced or otherwise. Just look at the Maidan - yeah, western intelligence was all over that but it was the Ukranian people who clanked loudly enough to actually effect the change and Vlad from Kherson State who has four passports and sometimes shows up with briefcases of wrapped USD and very useful intelligence was not the one donning armor and attacking riot police. If Russians get pissed off enough to stage their own Maidan then the fact that the pushing is nudged along by Langley is basically irrelevant as far as they or the government they're pushing back against is concerned because anyone poised to lead the former will happily make a deal with the devil to get into power and the latter can't prove a damn thing. In a shitty little banana republic that always has been and always will be a plantation and where governance is a revolving door of misery and corruption then yeah all you need is a team of SEALs and a colonel willing the play ball but it simply doesn't work like that anywhere else.

WTF are you talking about?? Russia had already annexed Crimea, and actively waging war in Donbas since 2014. Under Macron's presidency, France went on to team up with Russia in backing warlord Haftar in Libya.
France is so focused on North Africa it's losing touch with what's going on in Eastern Europe.

Then again, only a moron would believe France, or any other country, make anything that contains electronics themselves. It's all made in China or some other asian country, probably assembled there too. Only the design is done in France.
Yeah, yeah dear french investor, but this is a better story than "they smuggled the matrices through civilians"
>Then again, only a moron would believe France, or any other country, make anything that contains electronics themselves
STM, NXP and Infineon are famous ones.
Intel has fabs in Ireland and will have another in Italy or whatever.
China doesn't make that much chips themselves, it's mostly Taiwan. There is quite a bit for other components in china though and ofc, it's all assembled there.
>ofc, it's all assembled there.
Mexico makes a fair bit of net equipment for Cisco etc. for sale to governments who don't want their intel service's routers to have big Chinese ears in them.
Only a moron would think that countries would let another country like China built their military grade electronics.
Uuuh electronics for satellites are still made by hand for ESA. In Europe, by qualified engineers. I have trouble imagining those big ass boards but it's how it is apparently.
>France, or any other country, make anything that contains electronics themselves. It's all made in China or some other asian country, probably assembled there too. Only the design is done in France.
moron. Defense (along with aerospace) is one of the main reasons places like the US and France still keep fabs around.
You sure have proof for that accusation, Ivan.

You know the sad part? That's not even true. Russia only has a handful of running T-34s for parade duty, and they bought them from Laos.
More like T-55
A T-34 covered in cardboard to look like an Armata.
HAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHHAAHHAHAHAAHAHHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH

Well yeah, that's a given. There has never been a Russian made optic that wasn't garbage.

put a tracker in it. wait until it is delivered to any place of strategic importance and detonate or tactical strike it.

No he's right, Russia should definitely wait until it is shipped to Ramstein and then tactical strike the US air base there
>The newly captured T-90M is an even bigger deal at first sight
It is not though it is basically a T72 and the T72 is compared to any western tank, shit. Basically the T72 was meant to be spammed in a zergrush. Its not a rival to anything and cannot operate independently well because its an expendable piece of shit. That's what the t90 is at its heart, an expendable piece of shit. however while being at its heart an expendable worthless piece of shit, now Russia can't even spam them for zergrushes as intended. So it is completely worthless shit.
British Defence Secretary Ben Wallace describes the "futile use" of cope cages by Russian forces as "nothing short of tragic... their commanders' failures to adapt before entering them into such a conflict is criminal".
>their replacement for French sights they no longer have access to.
ah, good, someone is paying attention.
I honestly didn't think propaganda would be this fun. I don't even have to do any research, just make a few observation, offer my critical analysis, and say what FEELS true.
So much easier than journalism, with its pretenses of 'truth' that it never honors.
>Russia's domestic optics perform
they probably designed the ones the french were producing for them, so i wouldn't get too excited.
Whats the point when it's obviously going to be shit?
If you know the details of it then you've also got a good idea of how best to frick with it.

didn't they buy a French production line for thermals? they'll run out of spare parts eventually, but will be able to pump out enough thermals for years to come
I'm still in disbelief at the turret bustle on this thing. I always thought the elongated turret meant they had a western style ammo bustle with a sliding door like an Abrams. Only for me to discover its literally just a fricking shitty box strapped ot the back of the turret that can't even be accessed internally.
Literally what the actual frick is even the point other than to seem more "advanced".
T-90 is literally a variant of T-72, renamed to sound less pathetic.
Me too, little frog, me too, I thought they finally cured this launching turret curse
