I don't understand why this is somehow surprising, documented tank losses are enormous on both sides:

Russia

Tanks (2948, of which destroyed: 1970, damaged: 154, abandoned: 310, captured: 514)

Ukraine

Tanks (797, of which destroyed: 539, damaged: 68, abandoned: 59, captured: 131)

Some people are arguing tanks are much less useful in the age of FPV drones which cost orders of magnitude less (like a thousand of drones can be bought at the price of one tank).

The people of the United States have a false sense of security, thinking the war is far away and has nothing to do with them. This news is a reminder that the US is at war. The Russians see America as an enemy attacking them. They are displaying evidence of American equipment they captured. Everyone should prepare for Russia to attack not only Ukraine, but America. And because America has rejected God, America will fall. Her enemies are great and growing.... and will combine forces to overthrow her. Some of her enemies include: China, Russia, Iran, North Korea, Venezuela, Turkey, Syria, and Belarus. America is doomed, but for the individuals there is still hope for eternal life through Jesus Christ. Those that repent and call on his name shall be saved.

They will certainly push further into Europe if they annex Ukraine. Including NATO states.

And because America has rejected God, America will fall.

Compared to those godly Russians?

What the fuck are you smoking?

Some of her enemies include: China Atheist, Russia Atheist, Iran Religious (Shi'i), North Korea Atheist, Venezuela Religious (Catholic), Turkey Religious (Sunni), Syria Religious (Sunni), and Belarus Religious (Orthodox).

Which is the god you're worried about?

I'm reading along, not really disagreeing,
curious to where this is going,
and then this:

'And because America has rejected God, America will fall...' :/

Great! :/

You'd think that the medieval dark ages were a long time ago,
but nooo!

When the internet first got started, I thought: Finally.... the people of the entire world can communicate and be friendly toward each other, we will realize we are all human beings, and we can finally have peace. War will be outdated and obsolete.

but nooo!

Unfortunately, wars continue to get worse, and man makes no attempt to be at peace with his neighbors even though the lines for communication have been opened. The war machine is thriving. Instead of using the internet to bring peace, man uses it to spread propaganda, hate, fear, and lies. That is the opposite of God, who gives us a spirit of love, power, and a sound mind.

It all seemed reasonable ... and then ... deities!

[–]In-the-clouds[S] 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (6 children)

There is one God. Yes, there is a Deity. You certainly did not create yourself.

[–]HugodeCrevellier 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (5 children)

No biological processes, ancestors, DNA, evolution, etc?

Either I created myself or ... deities?

Oh, right, only one deity.

OK, which one?

Mbombo?

There are biological process, you have ancestors, you have DNA, but no.... your body was not created by dumb forces getting lucky by "evolution". You were not created by chance and you did not create yourself.

Which God is the true God? Of course, it is Jesus, the Lord, who is the image of God. If you sincerely wanted to know the truth, you would see that I am telling you the truth, to help you and not to cause you harm. If you were seeking the truth, you could pray to the (for you) "unknown God" and ask him to show you the truth, and he would show you.

You Keep Using That Word ('truth'),
I Do Not Think It Means What You Think It Means,
Which seems to be ... 'Imaginary Deities and Magical Beings'.

And, by the way, why are you rejecting Mbombo, the Lord? :)

I Do Not Think It Means What You Think It Means

That's obvious. I believe God's word is truth and you do not, or you will not admit God's word is the truth.

why are you rejecting Mbombo, the Lord?

You are being sarcastic, aren't you? There is no good reason to continue this conversation. I will let you have the last word.

It's neat but the sticker was presumably added after the fact so seems a bit naff.

I thought the same, that the US flag was affixed after it was captured, to identify to the Russian people who made the machine of war..... But this was reported by the Associated Press, which has its headquarters in New York City.
