Comment on The future of warfare is now
Initiateofthevoid@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 weeks agoLol what unreported casualties do you imagine there could even be? The drone operators developing carpal tunnel?
And then nobody wants to talk about retaliation as a consequence.
Right, because Russia hasn’t been trying until now? They haven’t really tried to crush Ukraine, they’ve just been playing around? But now that Ukraine has bloodied their nose, boy are they sure gonna find out what Russia’s capable of. Lol.
“Things will be worse once the bombs stop falling” is pure war propaganda.
No, “things will be worse when a nation is conquered by a hostile dictatorship” is not propaganda. Ukraine knows that for a fact, because they’ve been through this before.

What is it with the 101st Chairborn and their need to make light of human casualties?
Intelligence on the ground, particularly spotters near the target, would be the most obvious potential liabilities.
They’ve been bloodying one another for years on end. This isn’t the first successfully Ukrainian strike since the war started.
To quite treating this bloodbath as a fucking football game.

I’m not making light of casualties, I’m making light of the baseless claim that there even could be casualties, because I reiterate:
You think if they found spotters deep in Russian territory near their nuclear bombers the operation would have succeeded?
So, you’re not gonna defend the claim that we should worry about retaliation? Just move the conversation elsewhere? This is so incredibly bad faith.
Congratulations, it’s not working. You just sound like a cheerleader yourself.

The cavalier attitude towards death is symptomatic of a deep online mental illness.
