But both Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. Mark Milley
have recommended against sending M1 Abrams tanks to Ukraine, the three U.S. officials said. Milley and Austin have cited how long it takes to train personnel to operate the tanks and how difficult
the tanks are to maintain. They also have argued they are not the right vehicles for the fight in Ukraine right now.
Also, how bad would Russia just love to capture an M1-Abrams?

You are aware that most of your MAGA pals think you're **** up in the head about Putin and Ukraine. Any of these **** called you a RINO yet? You are aware that the Ukies make Americans look like sniveling, whining, four year olds. If Americans had to deal with what the Ukrainians are dealing with, the whole country would be having heads bursting into flames from sea to shining sea. Americans go **** nuts when they can't have a second car and maid service.Taipan » 25 Jan 2023, 12:41 pm » wrote: ↑ Mr Putin,
German tanks are now moving into Ukraine.
We are backing Germany.
We are sending 31 M1-Abram tanks in support of the German tanks.
31. Why not make it an even 100??
M1 Abram tank is the meanest dog on Earth.
Doesn't this feel good ??
U.S., England, France, Germany, Poland , & Norway on the same side.
Doesn't this feel ....."just right" ??
Mr. Putin,
Why are your generals blanching white?? What are they afraid of ?
I thought you said you wanted to fight, little girl.
Our dogs are killer-dogs.
They can out-fight all your dogs.

Tai-Dog & @Squatchman will take one of those tanks.
I will be in charge. It will take me less than 6hrs. to figure out how
operate that tank.![]()

LOL - I'd like to see some liberals try and knock a tank out. Maybe they can throw pot at them. Or, get Gretta Thumberg to sit on the end of the barrel and scream "How Dare You".nuckinfutz » 25 Jan 2023, 12:53 pm » wrote: ↑ Tanks are 'sitting ducks' for today's modern warfare!
A lot of ways to knock them out.

Perhaps some Russian generals will simply decide that have lost too many men to this foolish war and overthrow Putin,or simply refuse to advance.
Beats the hell out of me why this country would have a jet turbine engine in a tank.
This sounds very expensive and rather silly.
That area has never been technically "Ukrainian" for much of its bloody history.SJConspirator » 25 Jan 2023, 1:12 pm » wrote: ↑ nope, doesn’t feel right.

No we are not **** clear maggot (it was a favorite term used by the DI's when I was in the Corps, I thought you might like it), I wasnt giving you permission for anything. I was just curious if you're getting any negative feedback from the MAGA assholes for your opinions on the war in Ukraine.Taipan » 25 Jan 2023, 3:25 pm » wrote: ↑ Sir,

This is gonna turn out just like Afghanistan turned out for the Russians.
It sound expensive and silly to YOU, but when you need a fighting weapon that can move along at 60 mph and weights the tonnage it weighs, you would understand the NEED for a turbine powered tank that can ALSO run on a multitude of fuels if needed to make it move. From a barrel of whiskey to jet fuel.Xavier_Onassis » 25 Jan 2023, 12:47 pm » wrote: ↑ Let us hope that something happens to cause the Russians to abandon their invasion and attempted takeover.

And OTHER than the fact that one has NEVER been lost to enemy fire, I would say you are a MORONIC piece of **** that probably should keep your mouth shut over things you have absolutely ZERO KNOWLEDGE about.
