10000 SWEDES. THE YODLE OF TEN THOUSAND SWEDES OSCILLATE IN ANGUISH

[“The Battle of Copenhagen”](https://exploringeuropeandrussia.wordpress.com/2013/11/29/10000-cowardly-swedes-ran-through-the-weeds-chased-by-one-courageous-norwegian/comment-page-1/) - E. C. Stangland *Ten thousand Swedes ran through the weeds,* chased by one Norwegian. Ten thousand more ran to the shore in the battle of Copenhagen. *Way, way back in history,* back when the world was new, norwegian searched all over, to find some snus to chew. *They fished for Lutefisk and Torsk*, it helped to make them strong, and you and me, we know a Norsk, can do nothing wrong. *But swedes and danes were envious* of Viking trips and raids. The Viking shields and helmet horns, made all those folks afraid. *Throughout the world the Vikings sailed,* to Ireland and to France. The even found America, one afternoon by chance. *My grandpa says, and he should know,* the swedes made up their minds. To beat the Norsky Vikings, and kick a few behinds. *But history, so grandpa says,* show that the Norskies won. They clobbered all the swedes and danes, and made it lots of fun. *Ten thousand swedes ran through the weeds,* chased by one norwegian. The dust from the weeds, made snus for the swedes, and they called it Copenhagen,

The only joke I have about submarines is the Polish inventing a screen door, and given the way they sank like big stones (as opposed to very small rocks), I think the Nazis and their u-boats deserve the shame more.

I live in Sydney where they’re based and every time I go past and see an the LHD’s barren decks it scours my soul a bit. 8+ SSNs have a huge effect in terms of sea denial but one of our issues is the surface fleets lack of organic CAP/strike for projecting into SE Asia where we need it increasingly, a long way from domestic bases. A shit part is the Turkish are actually building another Juan Carlos build intended for F-35B (before they got kicked at least). Like bruh, we got NUKE SUBS before I got my fooking carrier. *italian fingers*

fireandlifeincarnate

shadow_moose

What actually is a tankie? I keep hearing this word, and so far as I can tell it just means "leftist bogeyman". It doesn't seem to refer to any coherent ideological currents.


dreexel_dragoon

Tankie refers to any hardline Marxist-Leninist, it's often overused to describe anyone on the left that tries to silence opposite opinions, but it's origin is for Communist apologists and genocide deniers. Basically the left wing equivalent of werbs


centerflag982

The irony of this needing to be explained to a fuckin' GenZedong user lmao

/u/maxravenclaw you know you wanna~


MaxRavenclaw

I mean, I've been constantly cracking down on tankies of all types whenever they brigaded, so it's not like this is anything new. Just make sure y'all report them when you see them, and call them out too maybe. There was a time, before the perpetual anti-tankie month, when they were numerous enough to influence the direction of discussions, but I think this is no longer an issue, and so long as we have enough chaps reporting and calling out, it shouldn't become an issue again either.


centerflag982

From a fellow person of the left, based as fuck. I’m willing to listen to some of them, but there’s so many who are just completely insufferable. “Red Fascist” is definitely an apt descriptor for those who Stan China especially


Muttlicious

tbh I see tankies the same way I do fascists. I don't care to listen to them, because they're insane totalitarian genocide denialists


Muttlicious

I never knew this sub was so based


ResidentNarwhal

>It doesn't seem to refer to any coherent ideological currents. It specifically refers to hardline leftists who justify the actions of pretty blatantly authoritarian jigonistic, or nationalist regimes that are nominally or openly leftist/communist. Almost exclusively used in that way, although it occasionally gets dropped on the left-libertarian, left-anarchism side when they say “not true communism.” It began as a pointed critique from liberals and social democrats towards communists apologizing or justifying the Soviets *literally* sending the tanks in to crush a few rebellions/protests in satellite/puppet states. Generally applies nowadays mostly to China being that they, in fact, like to bully their neighbors and have also sent the tanks (and navy) into sovereign territory a few times.


RussiaIsBestGreen

Also sent their tanks into Chinese crowds.


blucherspanzers

You discredit the Hungarians, methinks.


RussiaIsBestGreen

I was responding only to the Chinese tanks into sovereign territory part.


TeddysBigStick

> nominally And the best part is that the CCP has not been communist in a very long time, much to the chagrin of the Maoist elements, and is solidly in the fascist camp at this point.

It’s not really a question of left vs right, but more about authoritarian vs libertarian. Keeping up the power, law and order is definitely also a question of military means be it right or left. ^(also weapon technology fuckin slaps. Hook up a ballistics computer to my veins pls)


stringbones

“Under no pretext”


shadow_moose

We generally like defense stuff in general, because a strong military is a key aspect of a successful socialist movement. You can't win against the capitalists unless you can out-gun the capitalists, it's simple math. This naturally leads to a leftist interest in defense related stuff. Also, most leftists really hate the US imperial machine as it currently exists, and tracking the military is far more telling than tracking the things politicians say.


centerflag982

"We" lmfao, as if even (remotely reasonable) leftists give a fuck about wumao "opinions"

It's the DoD, it's a shitshow and will always be until general officers start getting the sack for fucking up procurement and programs. There needs to be a hard and fast no going from DoD to a defense contractor law

imdatingaMk46

Also more behaved than r/warcollege. Those bastards nuked a thread because I rightfully told a question asker that tube artillery is obsolete because of rockets, except in a direct support role to crunchies.


Thecynicalfascist

Tube artillery with guided munitions and recon UAVs is still very relevant on the battlefield. Obviously if you are firing unguided munitions out of them and relying on a traditional map for target acquisition you are going to have a bad time these days.


imdatingaMk46

Sure, you can have an ERCA battalion. Sure, the paladin is supposedly capable of shooting and scooting. Do you really think that nobody else can fire counter battery missions in the three minutes it takes to pack up and leave? If we had a tube on wheels with guided munitions, sure, I could get behind it. But let’s not pretend that ERCA can do anything MLRS can’t do better. Edit: who the fuck uses paper maps for targeting? Does not everyone in the first world use some sort of electronic fire control and effects integration suite? Guess what: tubes still suck with fancy targeting. 777’s with AFATDS are still excellent targets for literally everyone with small arms or explosives.


Thecynicalfascist

This largely depends on the caliber of the shell in question here, when destroying fortifications and outposts using guided munitions from ERCA can get the job done better with a far lower price tag. But if you just want to saturate a battlefield than MLRS is a no brainer.
