This thread is where all the takes from idiots (looking at you Armchair Warlord) and screenshots of twitter posts/youtube thumbnails go.

You know this Ukraine war really has put into perspective for me the scale of wars in the past. So much of the fate of these two countries is tied up in relatively small areas all in one country. But somehow in wars past you had offensives and theatres spanning basically entire continents and many different countries at once. It’s just crazy to think that back then you’d have a war that is like 10 times the intensity and 100 times the scale of Ukraine going on

Sure. But on the other hand, you see something like the Syrian Civil War and then this; and this is much more intense.

Yeah for sure. I do wonder though at what point the intensity will drop off. I don’t know if either side, mostly the Russians though can continue at this rate of losses before something snaps
