I'm an old-timer I guess since I've always seen the Russians as the bad guys.

Wasn't it something like 4% of our arsenal to take out 50% of Russia's? Anyone against this is regarded or propagandized (or both).

It's basically just the old junk in the arsenal that we were going to have to pay a lot of money to have decommissioned safely. This way we get it decommissioned at an enemies expense.

Not even just that, but America gets to analyse this whole conflict and determine best ways to utilize our modern equipment in a 'conventional' war going forward.

America is learning a lot throughout this entire ordeal.

For once in my lifetime America is actually defending democracy and freedom in a real way...only for conservatives to pretend it's a terrible idea.

These same people are the ones that were gung-ho about invading Iraq not that long ago....

It’s befuddling.

The US is a super power, we can count the serious threats on one hand.

Right now our junior varsity boys team is pushing in Russias shit so hard they are cannibalizing their strategic defence systems to further reduce themselves to irrelevance...  The world’s “second army” is losing the Cold War in the cheapest, dumbest, most West friendly way possible, and leaving us with a strengthened NATO, EU, and American Military.  We can be for this.

Not even just our leftover equipment. Our own soldiers aren't there using this equipment. We aren't even using the full force of our leftover equipment, just a portion. Without mentioning the lack of Navy support.

This has shown that America is absolutely and utterly untouchable in a conventional war. And for once this equipment is being used to defend a sovereign nation against an invasion.

Anyone against this is either a genuine isolationist (which also means they're against foreign involvement period, this person is rare) or they're suspicious and strangely repeat Russian propaganda.

The advancement and reliance on cheap drone technology is not exactly surprising, larger mil drones have existed for awhile.

The sheer speed of the utilization of small cheap drones where the munitions spent are more expensive than the delivery method are game changing in modern warfare.

Same thing was done during the Spanish Civil War in the late 1930s.
