Current Affairs Ukraine

[PKwalnuts]

the British are INSANE

have no doubt they are running this war almost in its entirety including providing the men to conduct these sophisticated attacks

Ukro villagers cant carry this kind of stuff out. We saw on Newsnight yesterday what kind 'weapons' they are using in the main.

The Yanks may be a bit less mental in their approach actually

...and here you are on a forum surrounded by the most insane in the land

'While it never directly involved U.S. troops, the United States suppliedBritain with critical fuel, intelligence, and ammunition for the Falklands campaign, contributing significantly to Britain’s eventual military victory. However, the U.S. decision to support Great Britain, a NATO ally, against Argentina, an Organization of American States (OAS) member and signatory to the 1947 Rio Treaty, represented a significant break from more than a century of U.S. policy prioritizing hemispheric unity against extra-hemispheric powers. The United States’ approach to the Falklands conflict unfortunately confirmed some of the worst assumptions Latin Americans have about the United States and its role in the region.'

The United States Has Never Recovered From the Falklands War

The conflict confirmed some of South America’s worst assumptions about its northern neighbor.

In other words they supplied them with some stuff lol

That is filed under "hardly helped". Early days the US were not happy.

P&O contributed more.

Hardly helped...the UK taskforce were desperate for that help being 8,000 miles away from home.

If any Falkland veterans are on here I think they'll confirm it...

Thanks for your contribution.

Far more than you have offered.

Why would you think they would have no specisl forces to begin with? Ireland is a neutral country with a population of 5 million, yet we have one of the best trained special ops forces in the world.

Its tiny but they train with the SAS and the Green Berets.

Ukraine with a population of 40+m and a large standing army would've had a sizable special forces operation pre 2014.

...Ukraine would need more than a few hundred elite soldiers mate.

In any case, as I said there's a time dimension to this too - those men need years and years of training not just a summer in the Brecon Beacons.

You know what, I actually hope British special ops are in Ukraine making absolute mincemeat of your fascist hordes of criminals and bandits.

The only mincemeat being made is of the fascists they are directly supporting

So the country that was invaded without just cause = fascist?

What does that make Russia?

Wrong mate. Zero US man power in that conflict. SAS were in Chile a few weeks before, doing their stuff. Bro is Falkland vet, Paras, Welsh Guards, Marines done for Argentinian conscripts. Vulcan bombers helped as well.

Please provide proof of this, as I had three mates, who were Marine Commandos and were in the very first wave that went onto the Falkands and were there for the whole war. So they would know.

I’ve just sent two of them that post and both replied that it’s utter nonsense or words to that effect.

Will this do

yes, its not like they've been fighting for seven years prior to this war

The only dimension going on here is the one between your ears.
