OP's profile is a good read: https://old.reddit.com/user/spindokto/
Redditors are accusing him of being a Russian disinfo agent
Yeah dude the Ukrainian border guards were asking if we had extra gear for them, unreal how close they're taking it
Did not come to fight, I'm a medic and came to treat casualties, preferably without becoming one myself
Witnesses mass casualty event his first day there, instantly leaves
Also, who really expects a jet to attack them π That's part of being naive, of course I knew it was a possibility I was just really fricking hoping it wouldn't happen to me
That was what a lot of people were saying, that they were pushing the legion up to Kviv as cannon fodder. And how can you argue that when guys are given no training, and AK with no butt stock, and one magazine? When guys were asking for more ammo a Ukrainian officer said "take it off dead russians"
Based, Westoids getting the full eastern front experience
Those of us who left, including SF operators from multiple countries, are simply risk mitigating. No one wants to die in an unfair fight, and after getting absolutely fricking pummeled by massive cruise missiles today - yeah I kind of want people to think twice before turning their life upside down to go and volunteer.
Life comes at you fast
Honestly I went there not planning on taking much risk
The cannon fodder term is what was coming out of a lot of volunteers mouths that's why I mentioned it. There was a real shift in peoples expectations of being utilized as a unit with operational capabilities vs. the reality of basically being bodies in front of the advancing Russians
Wait, you mean a country fighting a desperate defensive war against a superior opponent is taking a lot of casualties?
I am in Poland! With many other volunteers. I'm man enough to walk away from a situation when my gut tells me so.
Shits pants, refuses to elaborate, immediately deserts

You can't invalidate mutually assured destruction by its very definition.

It stops being MAD once one side has the technology to shoot down enough bombs.

Imagine this: somebody is throwing a rock at you, and you need to hit with your own rock his rock. Your task is a lot harder than his. And shooting down a nuke is questionable since it can bring a lot more harm up there than if it hit its target

Destroying a nuke doesn't make it detonate, and that analogy doesn't mean anything with modern computers (especially with high-powered lasers being inevitable)
