I don't know if it is required. I mean who the hell really knows what is "required"? I believe this is totally out of controll anyway. Like what if a multipolar world of several super powers competing with each other actually leads to a nuclear war somewhere in the future? Was it than really "needed"? But I don't think we as humanity can do anything about it anyway. Horror vacui, or better known as nature abhors a vacuum. And the same is true for power it seems. No super power will give up it's power freely. And every emerging super power will always pursue more influence. I am not defending the United States and their foreign policy here. I am just trying to say that what they do is probably natural and not something that's exceptional. Definetly not when you look at it historically. From the wars between Britain with Spain, Britian with France, Britain with Germany, Britain with the US, Britain with Argentina, Britain with, you get the picture. Lets nuke the Brits.

I mean a realistic utopia ALA The Expanse.
The main problem right now is the power of the UN is concentrated in the permanent security council. Now the U.S, GB, and France tend to work closer together while the last two mostly work for themselves and occasionally ally. Due to this dynamic, the UN will essentially be a tug of war between the west and Russia and in some ways China. In order to get more unity, Russia and China would need to adapt a less empire like mindset and this will not happen if they are run by despots.
The issue I have with the empire mindset is that it's pointless for China and Russia to try. Putin won't bring back the SU and the CPC would never be able to achieve Taiwan control or control their nine dash line so any resistance is essentially just futile and only causes more instability. Events in Ukraine show all that destruction and death so far has amounted to a quagmire and ordinary Russians are suffering for it. I am sure Putin only attempted it because he thought the Europeans would do nothing because of their Russian gas addiction. Again why fight inevitability? The west won the cold war, live with it. Instead of making trouble and being selfish, work with the west and join the winning team and let's achieve greater things together.

Such a ridiculous waste of lifes, material and resources. It's so pathetic just watching this.
They shoot their rockets in to the sky, probably doing nothing, scaring some farmers cows or what ever and probably just one of those rockets costs more than 10 Russians earn in one year.
This. This is why we can't have nice things in this fucked up shit ball of world. Because some dickweasels need this cock-measuring contest called arms race.

Culture's utopia from Iain Banks good is quite nice, well if you ignore the whole being too useless to offer anything to the society anyway. All because you're biological creature and not 5D and dark matter enough.

What they're doing is "lobbing" the rockets using the helicopter as a catapult launch off. The most simple analogy I can think of using to explain it is as if someone is throwing an arrow at someone rather than shooting it from a bow. Only this arrow explodes. They're "throwing" the rockets so that they land in arc, like traditional artillery fires it's payload or, like a catapult.
The only two wars this was ever performed in were both wars before laser and GPS guided rockets were invented. The first was WWII where they would use this tactic via dive bomb planes, and then to a lesser extent they used it in Korea. It's usually done behind your own lines, so that the rockets go over your lines and land in the enemy lines.
The fact that it's being used here... with helicopters... is kind of ridiculous.

Everything is an utopia till it happens. Like imagine you would explain someone who lived 700 years ago what people enjoy today. Would they believe you? I don't think so.

It was an actual technique prescribed in old Soviet doctrine. Fieldcraft like this is common in most military (like using grenade launcher machine gun to act as mortar). But rather worry more about those rockets hitting actual farmers in carpet bombing style. Instead of just larger surpressive fire with explosives.

It's not rocket science they are using unguided rockets to avoid AA and lobbing them over hills. Is it (these videos) some desperate attempt to show the Russians don't know how to wage war? Probably.

Better video to explain such situation probably

Yeah because the comments are getting annoying on Youtube for sure. It's like war has advanced to where all these assholes are watching it from RTS view and something is just idk...

If it ain't guided the AA can't track it tracking? Gooodd.
Or the Soviets ... I mean Russians just really really like the Song Rocketman.

This is why US's Full Spectrum Dominance doctrine is so scary in theory, the idea of any infantry can act as spotter for some sleeping air support/missiles. Heh, there is reason why USAF have their own Spec Ops just for Forward Air Controller and Identification, Friend or Foe system. Not this...using millions Dollars worth (or Rubbles?! lol) jet fighter to just dropping dumb bomb in...low flying mode.

For years people have said that Russia was wasting their money but I guess Putin was pocketing the money instead of spending it on equipment that mattered.

The West:. Trump was denied the presidency because of the voters
Russia and China:. The only way the leader leaves is via a coup.

Sure, but would it be different if there only was one superpower bombing everyone into submission?

Why don't we just trick everyone to take a global IQ test and make the results public.

So far US foreign policy has dealt with terrorism and to help Israel. US foreign policy also benefits allies like S. Korea and Japan when we deal with China and N. Korea.
Middle East......Israel and maybe us too
Iran.. ......Great Britain
Vietnam.....France
Sure you could say South America and Africa but that's hardly different than our competitors.
Other superpowers have a history of interventions that benefit only...................themselves.
When was the last time China or Russia did military interventions for their allies? Oh yea, they are so selfish they have none and barely trust each other.
