Well tbf drones are an extremely recent development. I don’t think any army in the world would have a shotgun manufacturing system in place for their soldiers as there has never been a need for them until now

I kinda like the design of the Baikal MP18 single shot 12 gauge shotgun. Not sure why, I just like simple. I'm sure most other single shot shotguns are way better, but it just seems like a true beater worth proudly neglecting.

I'm pretty sure SWAT units also have tactical shotguns and the militarization of police forces means that at least the groundwork has been laid for ramping production. Not really a flex but, err, yay?

I mean the value of the yen is very low against other world currencies. We are currently being overrun by tourists from Malaysia, Vietnam, Indonesia, as well as Europe and North America as it is so cheap here. For thirty years our prices have held steady while inflation has raised costs elsewhere.
30 years ago Japan was an expensive place. It simply isn’t anymore.

Not really, the same way that I don't see the Muslim world as useful idiots. They aren't opposing Israel because they don't know what's happening, but,because they have a different set of values. The students that protest do so because they are missled, which makes them useful idiots

For example by striking airports in Russia which will reduce the amount of patriot missiles needed to defend Ukraine. But mostly by targeting Russian logistics and depots. In fact this might use less ammo than their current strategy.

Current russian offensive is in the north with the active front being very close to the russian border abusing western restrictions on the use of its weapon systems.
Can't really defend if the enemy has "safe territory" mere kilometers from the front it can use as staging ground for troops and to fire long range weapon systems from.

The Ukrainians recently suffered a pretty large offensive in the Kharkiv direction, where the Russians had built up forces for the attack inside their own border.
The Ukrainians could not use Western munitions to break up the attack before they crossed the border, or hit the staging areas in Russia, so suffered some pretty bad losses and had to give up territory.
Since the release being given, the Ukrainians seem to have been hitting some of the depots built up for this attack in Russia, and regain some ground in a counter offensive.

>bombing Russians going on the offensive
This has surprisingly little impact in the strategic picture. On the upside it causes some strain for Russia to keep replenishing the cannon fodder, and it keeps the front line where it is. On the downside, Russia stays very much in control of how fast such a meat grinder operates, so it can keep going essentially forever at a predictable, manageable cost.
Now that the ammo situation is not too dire, it is a wonderful time to take out some rear-lines force multipliers that Russia will have trouble replenishing. Taking out any production lines would be fantastic.

He's presumably been spinning in his grave non-stop.

Historians will probably say in the future that it had already started at this point. I don't think WW3 will be a nuclear war as expected, it will be a series of regional big wars and simultaneous combat in the information space, possibly also in the literal space. Also an economic war between trade blocs.

I’d say historians will say we’re in the “Germany taking back the Rhineland and annexing Austria” phase.
It sounds smart to say “oh the war actually started well before the officially agreed upon date”, but while it’s obvious that these are the steps towards total war on a global scale, it just isn’t a world war yet.

You guys are talking about the world now like back in 100 years ago. Back then Putin could easily just say that Ukraine is nazi and people would 100% believe him but with the rise of the internet, no matter how much one tries to oppress information, it will still be readily available. Russians already know this war is fucked up and don’t really support it but since it’s a small skirmish(relatively, obv a lot of people dying which is sad but mainly Russian villagers that nobody in Russia cares about) and doesn’t affect people in Moscow as much, they are just staying neutral. If this blows in a global war there is no way Putin would be able to sell it to his people without huge backlash. Most likely we will only see regional wars like we have seen since ww2 etc. All the previous wars like vietnam, korean etc. were proxy wars between superpowers.

All it takes is one major loss of life as a result of an attack to galvanize a nation into action. This has been proven time and time again in history.

If Russia takes Ukraine, as it started doing in 2014 and bumped into high gear in 2021, how would Ukraine then still be a buffer zone?
Thats such a weird argument- Russia would directly butt up against Poland then. That seems like Russian talking points of “maintaining a buffer zone” more than actual strategic reasoning.
Russian actions in Ukraine also has lost them the Finland buffer zone, so they’re really getting worse off now.

I hear the argument about NATO, but it is flawed.
Ukraine wasn’t going to join NATO anytime soon, or be eligible to be approved by NATO membership, before Russia invaded.
Invading buffer countries is a poor strategic choice to maintain a buffer with NATO.
I think Putin just wants and grain and oil in Ukraine, and another piece of the 1800s Russia map under his thumb.
Potentially to try to destabilize the NATO economic and political stability in hopes of shaking up what’s for grabs on the world map as well.
