I have loads and loads of guns. Who am I to shoot?

The French managed it with guillotines, and that took a LOT more effort, since you can’t keep one in your coat.

The only issue is saw with OpenRA’s engine was the odd unit pathing every now and then

It was pretty iffy in the original too

What seems to be often overlooked in the realm of weapon’s production, is that Europe is currently running on a “Whatever gives to most profit” system. There won’t be a new production line set up without optimizing cost-benefit and ensuring it’s most efficiently made.

Russia and Ukraine have been in the “Don’t give a shit, make shells in your garden shed if you have to” method of war production for years now. Meaning in Europe there isn’t a single converted factory, not even a hint of pressing civilian forges into making armor and not one fewer car produced in favor of a military truck.

Yes, it will take time to move to war production, and it’s always better to prepare than to play catchup. But you can’t compare the two methods.

Wow, the economist did an amazing analysis of what would happen if Europe deployed peacetime troops, and literally nothing else, purely on its own.

It didn’t consider a ramp up. It didn’t consider the fact that Russia is fully engaged already. It didn’t consider the massive imbalance in equipment, especially airpower.

Obviously a fully deployed military massively outnumbers a non-mobilized one, duh. That’s not the point of the force at all.

The point is if Russia “intentionally” at location occupied by peacekeepers, they’re shooting first. And if they shoot first, then a few hundred modern aircraft can start turning every vehicle and building in camo between the Kyiv and Moscow into a crater in a series of “calm and rational, surgical strikes”.

Does that mean Europe doesn’t need a bigger with Nazi America at their backs? Fuck yes we need that. But Russia literally can’t even handle Ukraine right now.

Lady, you’re blocking my view of true beauty.

This looks like your typical case of “Fuck it, anything is better than this piece of crap”

Nah, you can’t steal jokes. Jokes are public domain, you can only spread them and spread the joy
