Russian Invasion of Ukraine (2022): Thread 1 - Ukrainian Liars vs Russian Liars with Air and Artillery Superiority

[Toothpaste]

T-80BVM

"Russian Tank"

That's final.

 

[Feline Supremacist]

It's only a war crime if you lose.

Clearly this is no slam dunk for the Ukes, Quite the opposite, really. So the child soldier thing is a bad idea.

IT ISN'T WHEN YOU ARE FIGHTING LITERALLY HITLER!

Wait, Putin told me Ukes were all literally Hitlers. I don't know who's seig heiling who.

It's no slam dunk for either side, which is the worst case scenario. The best case scenarios are Ukraine rolling over in a few days or Russia getting obliterated and Putin's government collapsing. Anything else will result in too many deaths.

 

[Gregg Turkington]

How motivated are the civilians to fight?

I don't remember reading that the civilians of stalingrand did any fighting.

They just stayed in their holes and ruins and kept dying by the tens of thousands every month.

I think there were a number of civilians in Stalingrad who fought - although I think they were mainly factory workers and had a choice between being shot in the head by an NKVD officer for refusing to fight the Germans, or go out and die to the Germans anyway.

I don't see how civilians will make a big impact anyway. Many who had some army experience have already been conscripted so the ones left probably won't have anything to offer.

 

[KinoVision]

There is also a video of casualties on the Ukrainian side.

NSFW, naturally.

Is it wrong that this video gives me an urge to loot those unguarded assault rifles and whatever else is in those ifvs?

 

[Toothpaste]

Isn't the child soldier thing considered a war crime?

Rome Statute, Paragraph 8.2, b, xxvi says that it's OK as long as they're 15.

That's the international age of consent for soldiering.

 

[Vince McMahon]

Sounds like you might be getting a promotion soon!

Go fuck yourself.

 

[Granate37]

It's possible that Russia might not occupy Ukraine, just install some friendly government officials and then fuck off. On the other hand, Putin legitimately did sound that he was serious when he said that Ukraine was basically a fake country.

I'll reiterate what I've said earlier. Its big or go home, the winds of history are blowing and Russia has gambled EVERYTHING. Ukraine will be an important setpiece in future geopolitics, not only because its seen as an integral part of the Russian sphere of influence (and even Russian nation by Putin and co.), but also because it will help serve as China's breadbasket as climate induced droughts and global economic crisis threatens their food supply. I predict full annexation as a Russian republic, along with Belarus, within a few weeks to a few years.

Found a clip of the dud missile stuck in the street in Kharkov. Poster says there are no military targets in the area at all, purely civilian.

Apologies if a repost, here's a close-up clip of people working to rescue the man in the car that was run over by a tank in Obolon.

 

[Mr Bunny]

If the Russians honestly end fighting child soilders, who ever give the order to recruit them should be line up and shot by Russians live in 4k resolution.

I was half joking before but mean it now, you're losing the PR war.

What galaxy brain thought that fucking around with military vehicles and explosives around goddamn sarcophagus was a good idea?

 

[Granate37]

So is Kiev about to be attacked from multiple sides? If so, will the Russians coordinate their forces to attack around the same timeframe or will they just do fuck all and attack one at a time with no coordination?

Just spitballing, but they might go slow in from the west, but only go on a full assault once they've linked up with eastern forces and encircled the city.

 

[Fist of Fury]

Can hear what sounds like artillery for the first time in the Maidan Square, Kyiv stream. Not sure what that implies, just reporting.

Wow. didn't think that guy would be alive. Glad he didn't get smashed.

 

[Granate37]

Could very well be. I'll change it to just "T-72".

Problem is that T-72 AM's are Ukrainian. I'm not saying it can't be a Russian tank, I just don't know of any Russian model that looks like that.

It creats an opportunity for good optics. Civillians with guns means they become enemy combatants and a legitimate target in war time. However the BBC and CNN wil run wall to wall coverage of the evil bear masquering ordinary Ukrainians.
