Retards on twitter are saying that for some reason the Chechen/Kadyrovsky (personal goons of the military governor President of Chechnya, Ramzan Kadyrov, he inherited them from his dad) deployment to Ukraine is going to be really bad because a lot of Chechens joined ISIS (?). Now the Kadyrovsky have allegedly done some bad shit but it is mainly confined to torturing homos and beheading Islamist militants.
Seen it on Reddit too. Retards saying they're gonna genocide the Ukrainians or some shit. At most they'll burn pride flags, but they're Putins goons in the end, regardless of what Chechnya's leader says. Good to know these monkeys don't know the Chechens who join terrorists hate Putin and Russia however.
 
Gonna be real here, I didn't think Russia was actually going to invade Ukraine. I just thought it was a way of completely destablising the region just through the fear of potentially invading. If Ukraine gets squeezed, the gas pipelines get squeezed and Europe shits itself.

Also completely surprised how easy it's been for Russia to just... walk in and take it. I figured if Russia actually wanted to take Ukraine then the rest of Europe would say "Oh no Russia don't do that" and then commit absolutely zero troops to the region, but even then I'm surprised how quickly Russia has just... drove right to the capital and surrounded it within 3 days.
I didn't think they would do it either. I also thought that they were just sabre rattling to create economic chaos in Ukraine.

But as far as the rest, Ukraine is almost impossible to defend. Its mostly wide open spaces with no real natural barriers at all. Especially in winter, they could just kind of drive down
to Kiev and nothing would easily be able to stop them. At last to me, there was no question that the Russians could militarily beat the Ukrainians.

But the problems for the Russians were always going to start happening after they had won. They are now in a situation where they will need to either make a deal with
the Ukrainian government or create a new government. Neither will be easy. They are also going to get stuck spending money to keep Ukraine from economically
collapsing. Getting into this type of thing with an army is one thing, but getting successfully out of and meeting the policy objectives is going to be very difficult.
 
Ok. I'm lost to what these white Z's are. People keep mentioning them but I missed the memo.
It's most likely a random symbol that is used to differentiate them from Ukrainian vehicles. It was painted on several days before the invasion and was one of the first telltale signs that Russia really was going to invade.

If China is reatricting financing for commodities, *which China wants*, this is totally lulzy.
China wants an agri vassal state

cant download videos

Russian "sabotage unit" in Ukrainian uniforms ambused and killed by Ukrainian army and civilians.

they are also making molotovs. Kiev is going to be a grozny re-run

welp, took less than a week for Ukrainians to immediately reach for super desperate measures, go conscription and have civvies wield molotovs and AKs. and for russians to reach the outskirts of Kiev and most of their major cities that aren't in the far west of the country.

the artillery fire, low-altitude jet planes, night-time fireballs and rockets and so on looked stunning...but if this is Ukraine's next move as opposed to simply capitulating and accepting that the west (and especially the US) is all too happy to throw them under the bus and won't come to their aid, then from here on out the theme music becomes more appropriate to bloody urban street fighting:

It actually pisses me off that the "oh so tolerant" redditor archetype that loves "Diversity, Inclusion, Acceptance, Anti-Racism, ETC..." has gone full blood and soil kll all the Russians. The normie NPC brain that was conditioned to hate all Arabs for a decade was conditioned to be fully woke in recent years. I think that this conflict could spell the end of wokeness as there are too many contradictions. How can they support neo-nazi militias and rant about male privilege when Ukraine is not letting men leave. Also how does the woke mind deal with white refugees?
The Ukraine has literal Nazis fighting Russians. Of course Antifa and reddit tankies are being retarded.
 
the fact that eastern ukraine has not fallen despite being closest to russia is interesting.

That's because Ukraine has most of it's veteran regular army there.

More than 150.000 Ukrainian troops in eastern Ukraine I would guess

And the Russians only hurled 60.000 troops or so on all fronts.
 
Btw, it seems that the Russians would need 100.000 more troops to maintain control of territory.

That's just my opinion.
I think you're estimates off. Those are American style numbers.

You dont need that many to conquer a country if you play shoot them in the hearts and minds rather than trying to win the hearts and minds of the people who's family you just incinerated.
