  • OT: The war

    From Trevor Wilson@21:1/5 to All on Tue Jan 31 10:54:21 2023
    Two Russians speaking:

    “Hey, Yuri, did you hear we’re at war with NATO!”

    “Astounding, Ivan, how are we doing?”

    “We’ve lost 80,000 men, the storied 1st Guards Tank Army has been wiped out, more than 1,000 of out latest tanks are burned out hulks, we have
    to get old T62s out of storage to stay in the war, we’ve lost more
    generals in war than any nation ever, our flag ship is at the bottom of
    the Black Sea, we’re losing airbases hundreds of kilometers behind
    lines, land it took us 3 months to take was taken back from us in 3
    days, our fleet has retreated from Sevastopol, and we can’t come within
    300 kilometers of Ukraine’s coast without getting one of our few
    remaining warships blown up!”

    “That’s terrible, Ivan! How is NATO doing?”

    “Oh, they haven’t even started to fight.”

    Lordy! Maybe that accounts for Russia's troubles. Maybe the Ukraine is a
    more competent adversary than NATO would be.
