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

[Dave_Ph]

None of that shit is new. People cycle through. People get bounced for political reasons. Equipment breaks. Navy has whoopsies. It's all part of running a fuckhuge military.

You only think it is bad because the US is the only one that talks about it openly. Russia and China don't but believe me they have the same problems. They have it worse, actually.

Given the one child policy its unlikely many of their troops have two moms

What a thing to witness. Step out into your backyard to watch an invasion taking place before your very eyes.

woah... just like my marvel movies!

This is the first Instagram/TikTok war. Civilian casualties can be broadcast across the world in minutes. If they do this old-school like Berlin in 1945, they would lose the propaganda battle at 5G speed.

I never really thought we'll get the 1945 remake, more the second Chechen war.

 

[Mussi]

Haha, I'm not disagreeing. I was just wondering if they could possibly be involved in the larger than expected numbers of units down. Just thought you meant a full deployment.

My head just goes to the fact that drones are less risk, provide more plausible deniability (especially if you're arguing against the Russians), and arguably cheaper and easier to deploy than people

You're definitely right that it's cheaper and lower risk to send in drones, but the American military is unlikely to risk their toys against a military that can fight back.

Given the one child policy its unlikely many of their troops have two moms

But comparatively likely they have two dads.

You're definitely right that it's cheaper and lower risk to send in drones, but the American military is unlikely to risk their toys against a military that can fight back.

We now have cheap, disposable drones that literally are one-use kamikaze remote control missiles where the drone itself is what delivers the payload.

Phew, think that's all the major headlines. Lot of movement overnight.
Personal opinion is that while the Russians have reached north Kiev, I'm willing to believe the Brits and say they're not in the city center yet, they've been really resilient in repelling the northern fork of the invasion. Donbas front is still stable. Crimea though is where they've been forced to retreat back to the Dniper, Russians have gained control of a crossing or two across but again, bogged down by fighting.

And this is NATO

I want to keep saying apparently we obviously we don't know for sure. But supposedly this is a tractor plant in Kharkov. There's a military unit and warehouse full of fuel and lubricant nearby that could potentially catch as well.

 

[Tom Nook's Gloryhole]

Surely the easist way forward is to block off all access to Kiev, shoot down any supply trucks/planes to Kiev and wait a week. It'll fold automatically.

 

[Estolysis]

Zelenskyy is just hanging out in Kiev taking videos with his friends, doesn't seem smart.

"We are here, we are in Kiev, we are defending our state"

From the cracks in the pavement around the turret, you can tell that the tank got blown to fuck and the turret landed there after flying through the air.

 

[Orange Man Costume]

Ok now NATO is getting serious, Putin better watch out.

Whoa there buddy. Doom-posting only please.

Have you seen General Miley

True, but think about it... If it were to happen: if it worked out, and somehow like 5 years down the track Ukrainians remained independent... The US would be looking ok.

If it didn't, they just say wtf russia y u always lying

 

[BradCarter]

Russian update, no reason to believe it of course:

- 211 objects of the military infrastructure of Ukraine have already been put out of action. Among them are 17 command posts and communication centers, 19 S-300 and Osa complexes, 39 radar stations.
- During the hostilities, a large amount of weapons delivered to Ukraine from the west was captured. Among them are the American Javelin PRK and the British NLAW.
— DPR troops came to Volnovakha.

Some Iraqui and Syrian folks would love to have a word with ya.

But carpet bombing kebabs is based, they don't count as people

Getting butchered by lgbt drones piloted by thots and trannies would only make the whole thing funnier. I really hope Russians fuck around enough to find out.

At least two Muslims must be present and listening for it to actually count. (And, you know, you have to mean it, but who cares about that lol)

Allah finds a way...
