The forum has been taken over by Nitwin's inane posts about Russia. Can't we separate US military from dumb assed foreign posts?

This is what that forum is supposed to be about:

Here are the three latest posts in that forum.

All of them are about Armed Forces Strategies, News and Comments.
The forum says nothing about it being US Armed Forces strategies, news and comments.
He is posting from where these are important and current military actions, strategies and news and one that our country is or might be affected by, and the is and English speaking, but international message board with many foreign posters, including some Russians. I wish the Russians would back off, also, but until they do, their military strategies and news are going to be in the news.
If you don't like it. Don't read it.

I put him on ignore a long time ago because half the stuff was from unconfirmed sources.....As is most everything coming out of there is. You can't even get reliable casualty estimates.

All I know is about every other Friday congress sends them more billions to piss away.

To put it into contrast if we spent what we have sent there for a border wall on our southern border it would be eight walls + deep by now.....Chew on that one a bit.

54 Billion sent to Ukraine (thus far) or 5-6 Billion for a complete border wall.....You tell me which one makes more sense for America.

I'll tell you straight-up....It's not Russia that's our enemy.

There is no strategy or relevant news in Nitwin's posts. It's all propaganda.

How about a Salute To the US Military forum?
For veteran honors, stories about service people, hoorahs about your military past or that of a loved one?

That would be nice.

Seems like SOME of that content should be in the Russia or other "Global' forum. I'll have a look.

The Military forum is listed under US Discussion, not Global Discussion.

It is another Russian war, just like in the days of the Soviet. Use of propaganda and counter propaganda is all part of the strategy, everybody's strategy. It is part of what makes it a fascinating confrontation, between Russia, Ukraine and indeed, the western world. Litwin knows this, is closer to the action, subjected to propaganda wars since young, and undoubtedly feels he is playing his part, supporting his position and goals. The Russian trolls on here are doing likewise. Selective news and position on the news is and always has been part of the strategies, especially with Russia and Communist countries. Look at the rest of this place. Do you think everybody believes everything they post or link to, is absolute truth or is much of it propaganda, used as strategy to further goals? The first use of propaganda written about in military strategy goes back thousands of years to Sun Tzu Wu and the first written book on strategy, The Art of War.

That asshole Litwin disparages the GOP's new Hero and has them channeling Jane Fonda.

Not all 'propaganda' is lies and spin.

While you're at it Whitehall and others litter the History Forum with conspiracy crap that belongs in the Conspiracy Forum, obviously.

Mostly it includes lies and spin, in most cases.

^^^ Pretty much this. ^^^

USMB never really has been known for quality foreign policy discussion anyway.

May as well just turn the idiot box on and tune into your favorite channel, it's basically a mirror image of whatever narrative the state department is running in a given cycle.

Hell, they're passing around Oscars at this point...

It might be fascinating but it's mostly politics and partly propaganda. There must be another venue but it surely ain't the Military forum/

Unless they change that forum to US Military, I don't see it changing, but your thread did generate a lot of discussion, so you definitely got your issue out. One of the better feedback threads, I've seen.

Interesting that we have an Afghanistan sub-forum, and an Iraq, Iran sub-forum, but have never gotten around to having a. . .

SUBFORUM

or a

SUBFORUM

After all this time? Really?

Do we have to send troops somewhere before they get their own subforum?

 

[MisterBeale]

should be in the Russia

Is there a Russia subforum? I can't seem to find one for either Russia or China, which I find seriously flawed.

The assumption in an American discussion forum is that the Military forum would be about American military issues and Veterans issues and US Military involvement in foreign entanglements. It's insulting that a foreign poster managed to clog up the entire post with propaganda relating to Russia.
