Dumbass question: Is the natural gas pipeline from Russia to Germany still moving forward or has it finally be cancelled? Merkel told Obama, Trump and Biden to fuck off over it, and for all I know Bush 43, too. Presumably Germany really wants/needs this?

Would be kind of weird to see some kind of Ukrainian action against it, at any rate. Would the western media even report on it if something happened?

Notice how none of the people with the Ukraine flags on their social media handles seem to care that this began as early as 2008 when Georgia was quasi annexed by Russia with their spat with Ossetia. Most people don't even know what Ossetia IS, let alone where it is located. This is a reversal of the Yugoslavia breakup in the 90s, albeit this time it's a reunification process. Silesia used to be Polish land, then Prussian land, then Ukrainian land, and on and on. These people were cheering everything Obama did and said nothing when Crimea was annexed into Russia after a vote - a vote they said was 'manipulated and rigged' because it had 93% turnout.

They also don't care that Ukraine's President was 'picked' by the US after their former government was deliberately toppled in 2014. Try telling that to any of these goddamn NeoCon Jews keeping their grandkids in college while demanding the goyim die for yet another war for them.

QFT, and the Georgia invasion really should have triggered a rethink of geopolitical strategy more deep than "vote for Black Dipshit, he's smarter than Bush and will hug the world into liking us again".

This touches on a problem from slightly further back; in 2005 Bush basically handed the problem of Iran over to the EU to deal with. Long story short, the EU completely fumbled the ball. It wasn't the EU's first failure to be an effective superpower bloc, but it was the most visible one in the post-9/11 world, and it kind of cemented their status as irrelevant players. Putin didn't try for Georgia until after the EU had failed and Bush was on his way out the door (I think he wanted to wait longer, but events forced his timing a bit).

For all the focus we're giving to American politics, no one even mentions the EU as a possible threat against Russia. It's hilarious and pathetic. Euros are an afterthought on the world stage.

It's canceled. And a lot of euro countries have banned Russian oil.

Aww, how cute, it's upset! Let me remind you sweaty this is all happening under a senile crook whose handlers seem to be as clueless as you are about US/Russia relations and the consequences of fucking that up, and not your go-to whipping boy. You sound more like the lolcows in the threads you moderate than a well-informed and reasonable observer of current events.

Go outside and touch grass. Or snow, whatever, but go outside and take a deep breath.

Huh, I mentioned a long time ago in the thread that this would be interesting to watch Russia fight something more than bronze age child molestors.

They haven't really mobilized since Afghanistan, unless you count Syria.

I was wondering about their logistics chains, their second wave, their reserves, and their quick reaction forces.

From the mostly disinformation we've seen, it looks like there's serious problems on the Russian side.

Gonna be really interesting to read the after action reports.

The fucked up thing, is now we see that Afghanistan wasn't a one off.

The Pentagon and the Admin are completely fucking incompetent and retarded.

It's 21:15 in DC.

Question: Are you confident that your President, not his wife or some handler, but your President, is awake, cognizant, and working on dealing with this situation?

Can we threadban anyone that mentions Trump at this point? This is a discussion on the ongoing war, not American politics. There are a bazillion threads in A&H for that shit.

If you did that alongside banning everyone who reposts the same meme from 10+ pages back then there'd only be like five guys left in thread, lol You all need to relax on crying to the mods and Null, a happening being derailed and filled with spergery is an integral part of the experience, just dole out some hecking downvotes and people will shut up after seeing their precious karma in danger.

WW2 would have been exciting to watch if we were around back then. The whole world was on fire and there would have been some big offensive happening somewhere at all times.

I wonder if my great uncle was shitposting when he was getting shot at by the Japanese? One can only hope.

Disagree. Information flowed super slowly and was heavily censored. At best we’d have a vague notion a major battle was happening - and usually about a day behind events.

When I said we I meant the farms and us collecting info from around the world.

Yes, it's official. The Russia Today website is down, but I was able to find the story on their mobile app:
View attachment 3015297
Along with a website link for whenever their website comes back up:
https://www.rt.com/russia/550546-zelensky-nato-ukraine-neutrality/

I guess the real question for whether IT'S OVER depends on whether Putin is willing to discuss terms, or if at this stage, he is committed to unconditional surrender.

So Felix Unger is the President of Ukraine?
