This video is quiet long, but it is very much worth your time.
If you want to get information about the causes of the Ukraine Russia conflict and the impact Russiagate had on US foreign policy, then I would recommend that you watch this video or at least skip to the midpoint.

It's a really good game, give it a chance when you can.

Ironically, that game felt like it was trying to make me less empathetic to civilians in the middle of war-torn countries, because the characters came off as very whiny and robotic.
 
No. The opposite in fact. It used to be the large majority of Ukrainians wanted to be closer to Russia, Russia has made that the small minority opinion among Ukrainians now
You see the more pro-Russian opposition were quite close to power, and the Minsk Accord would've allowed the Donetsk and Lugansk 'Republics' to veto anything uncle Vlad disliked. Now the Russians would probably install this opposition, but they might be reluctant servants of the Russians and hated by the general population and despised as putas by Pres Putin. There is the window offered by the sheer weakness of the present G7 leadership, but a full scale war is an extraordinary risk. Wars can be won militarily, but lost politically, like French Algeria and even Afghanistan while Soviet forces were there. Perhaps Putin sees himself in the sunset years of his career as seeking a legacy of subjugation Ukraine, a place he sees as the birthplace of Russia and a sort of colonial creation (whether Poland-Lithuania or the Soviet Union).
 
Jesus Christ. The anonymous bullshit was taken as real info by a Russian News group with 1.2 million listeners.

I miss HK-47, he was a good mod. Alas, autism taketh away what we love.
HK-47 cucked out hard at the end and I still haven't forgiven him for that. Also Null has been pressured by libtards for a while now, no surprise some mods are fags, as they are PRACTICALLY EVERYWHERE ON THE INTERNET

Anyway, is anyone else here not trusting any sources about specific battles going on right now? For instance I've heard stuff like "elite Russian VdV units surrounded and killed in an airport," "Ukranians retaking (x place)" etc. I've heard that in WW2 there were newspapers in Poland declaring that Polish troops were BTFOing Germans, and that at the end the German media was claiming the Endsieg was nigh and the USSR was on the verge of defeat as Soviet troops closed in on Berlin.
 
The jannies aren't here based on their political views, they are here to moderate boards about retards. You just sneed to ignore them.
lol 2021 user don't pretend you know more about this forum than me.

I rather have my jannies not being Reddit tier, there can be leftists fine whatever, but not Reddit retards with TDS and their brainlet takes.
 
Oh I agree, I was just answering the (now tiresome) nonsense that somehow "it was Trump's fault" or "it woulda been worse with Trump".

But the retardation of Democrats runs very deep.
Regardless of whether it was a back room deal to avoid causing problems for Trump, or Trump's alleged collusion with Russia is grossly overblown, I think a compelling case could be made that having a second-term Trump could have been a good thing for Ukraine.

I say that because it can't really be much worse than what's happening now. Who knows, if Putin shelved this until after 2024, maybe Ukraine could have gotten NATO membership in that time.

As to the question of whether we should intervene, I strongly lean towards not, but it's pretty clear Biden's threats are as limp as his geriatric dick. Of course Putin is laughing at him.

Imagine saying libtards 100% unironically in the year of our lord chris chan 2022

You sound like a cunt
 
apparently this is video of the dogfight over Kiev earlier today. Ukrainian air force says one of their pilots got aced today. 6 kills, including some of the VDV helicopters. you can see the top plane manuevering to get a shot on the bottom one. top plane was also doing its best to keep bottom one in sight.

Another big if true, that'd be the first ace since, what, Vietnam? Here's hoping that mad lad survives the war.
 
Killed Qasem Soleimani, commander of Iranian glow-ops, in response to some Iranian bullshit in the Middle East, cuing endless REEEEEEing about a "World War III" which never came to anything.
Don't forget al-Baghdadi, the head honcho of ISIS. He basically snuffed them out of Iraq and Syria once and for all. (Bonus points to Conan, the goodest dog.)

There was also a column of Russian troops disguised as mercenaries that tried making an incursion into northern Syria in February of 2018. 200+ men were wiped out in surgical airstrikes ordered by Trump. That was the biggest military defeat of Russian soldiers in a very long time, at least until now.
 
Russian imageboards have been memeing "Kiev at 3am" for a while now. I think that means 3am Moscow time, though (4am Kiev time).
Well, it's 4 AM MSK right now

I really should go to bed, I have to wake up at 7.
 
If true this is a huge change from 2014. I think Russia was hoping the Ukrainian military would just throw their guns in the ditch and bail. It's starting to look like this is not the case. Putin HAS to get over the Dneiper this week, because if he can't get at the Western population centers that are firmly opposed to Russia he's in deep shit. Especially with the Ukraine government just handing out Rifles to whoever wants one.
Personally I do not believe this will happen, but if things devolve into positional warfare then it OVER for Russia. It's too early to tell. The advance south of Chornobyl, the battle of Hostomel and the fighting north of Kherson are critical. In 50 hours we'll be able to say, maybe.
 
Putin probably just saw an opportunity to attack Ukraine once more people became dependent on Russian oil. Combined with Biden being a weak president and obvious internal issues being increased by it, it was the perfect time to react. Wasn’t helped either by Dems a-logging Russia in general and just poking the bear by trying to push the Trump/Russia connection. Not saying that we have to be best friends with Russia, but pushing the Russia thing has probably helped sour Russia/US relations.
This is why he attacked TBH. it's obvious the democrats divided the US to the point where the people more likely to join the military are rooting for Putin just because he didn't ruin our lives and the left in America actively tries to destroy America. If the war spreads out and America gets involved I don't know how the dems will come to terms that alienating the most patriotic bunch for wetbacks that have no connection to their land and rapefuges that are a drain is no way to run a country.

They'll probably try to gaslite by saying Republicans have always supported those refuges and were the ones demoralizing you
