I'd like to see more combat footage and experts analyzing tactics and logistics. We should get the combatants crates of GoPros.

This is already such a huge ratings event, imagine if we could watch war in real time on the ground and with an eye in the sky.

Corporate sponsorship, merchandising, war leagues, sports betting. I mean, we really haven't properly commercialized war yet.

Mittens 3 insightful - 3 fun - 9 hours ago I'd like to see more combat footage and experts analyzing tactics and logistics. We should get the combatants crates of GoPros.

Im actually curious about the Russian logistics. On paper they should have stuffed the country with around 150,000 troops by now. What happened? And where are all the tanks? The video footage is mainly artillery and planes.

Tanks are useless without a strong supply chain to maintain them, they move at a mile per gallon, or sometimes much less, so odds are they are parked near the front and just sitting around waiting for supplies to catch up.
