The Ukraine war shows that instead of a small amount of the best equipment, countries need a lot of less-impressive gear, a Ukrainian industry rep said.
What was the kill count and displacement numbers from just Iraq after the 2003 invasion? Hundreds of thousands of civilians killed and something like 1 million displaced the last time I heard anything about it.
The purpose of the invasion/occupation isn’t stability. The purpose is funneling money and creating instability in the region.
Yeah that’s what I meant by the second part. No good at its stated goals of regime stability or whatever. Great at its unstated goals of slaughtering and displacing unarmed people.
The problem they’re running into now is that they’re trying to take on peer competitors like Russia as opposed to brutalizing small nations.
It was arguably no good at brutalizing small nations, either. Or at least not accomplishing its stated goals while doing that.
I’m sorry, the fuck what?

Sorry if there was confusion.
