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

[LaxerBRO]

My mom literally just said to me "This isn't a war. A war is when soldiers fight other soldiers, not bomb civilians. We should go in and shoot their planes down."

I asked her if she was willing to risk nuclear war over it and she said yes. I fully believe that she thinks that she won't get bombed or effected at all as a result Putin pressing the big red button on us, despite the fact that we live in a heavily populated metropolitan area with a military base. I doubt she even knows what a "nuclear bomb" even is, despite living through the events of the Cuban missile crises.

I weep for humanity.

It won't be nukes. I can pretty much guarantee the first salvo will be cyber warfare.

I would say that foreign states have already breached many of our civilian infrastructure networks with nuclear plants being the rare exception.

The first salvo will probably be traffic signals for an entire region. A commute of an hour will the three with the traffic lights out. That would be absolute gridlock in the cities. Area that rely on mass transit will have those systems targeted so no more subways and inter-city/region rail. Air traffic control would be spared.

In this same opening salvo will be a hit on US SNAP / EBT (Food Stamps). I would go with a 75 / 25 split where some receipts get thousands of dollars to spend and others get nothing. Such, you get people grabbing cart loads of food while other get nothing, which is a really good way to start riots.

Keep on this track, I would hit food distribution warehouse computer system so they couldn't know what to bring where without a painstaking process.

Perhaps, cell phone transmitter could be targeted. The telecom system may have some security but what about all those back up generator. Maybe some run without control systems causing a fire.

This is just me typing this up on the shitter. Imagine what could happen with dedicated people. Your mother life would be so inconvenienced she would go crazy on the first salvo.

That first chart is sourced from a literal CIA front.

And that second chart is stupid, minimum wage is a lot less relevant than something like median wage

What is the Average Salary in Russia? (2022 Guide)

Find out the average salary in Russia, and how it makes Russia a good outsourcing destination plus prominent outsourcing industries in Russia.

Which is a lot more in line with other eastern and central european countries.

I'm not even a fan of Russia, but c'mon nigga.

Not sure this was posted, but there are Chechens on both sides. The Kadyrovsky are substantially there because of huge bounties offered for tanks etc.

'This is connected to Kadyrov putting massive bounties out for tanks ($30k), infantry vehicles ($20k), and soldiers ($5k). To be paid directly from the Akhmat Kadyrov Fond,' - not bothered to clean my stuff for another Tweet image. Telegram link

Tldr please? We should start a lolcow thread on Putin tbh, DSP and movieblob don't entertain me anymore

"Putin bad, Globohomo good", about sums it up.

That said, I get the point Andrew is trying to make that Putin isn't a "good" guy, which I never said he was and isn't exactly germane.

The whole so-called "War on Terror" is primarily about US "national security" concerns, and while such a concern is legitimate, what has the result been?

Lots and lots of "unspecified ship"s building up off China's coast across the strait from Taiwan. Odd that with all the other boats around that there don't seem to be any images of whatever's happening there right now.

I don't know if anyone has mentioned it but they could be spoofing the AIS data.

At least they do not have Autogynephiles in Cabinet positions and their children castrating themselves.

This is the most pitiable kind of tribalist thinking. "Well, he might be a dictator who launches wars of aggression, murders his critics and builds giant mansions for his cronies while regular people live in poverty, but at least he doesn't like transgenders!"

Ah yes... Checks watermark, the very reliable American propaganda agency of Radio Free Europe.

The same guys that helped to propagate the lie that Iraq had WMD

When people get invaded they tend to fight back. It's not fucking complicated.

And good for them fighting a losing battle while people pontificate on if comitting war is transphobic and panic about a draft that won't come to try to cash in checks their mouths made.
Have fun suffering while the people that started this shit get off scott free and your allies are literally still using you as a political pawn while coommies decided to call their bluff.

Nothing is ever so simple.

Banks of China refuse to deal with Russian banks ... oh oh

Китайские банки присоединились к санкциям против России

Крупнейшие госбанки КНР отказываются финансировать сделки с сырьем из РФ.

Here's the Bloomberg article that piece is pulling from.
>Industrial & Commercial Bank of China Ltd.’s offshore units stopped issuing U.S. dollar-denominated letters of credit for purchases of physical Russian commodities ready for export, two people familiar with the matter said. Yuan-denominated letters of credit are still available for some clients, subject to approvals from senior executives, the people said, asking not to be identified discussing private information.
>Bank of China Ltd. has also curbed financing for Russian commodities based on its own risk assessment, another person said. The lender has yet to receive explicit guidance on Russia from Chinese regulators, two people said.

Wait they're arming civilians now?
Why in the fuck.

Are they going to be surprised about civilian casualties now? Or did they think Russia gives a shit about 'optics' and decided to use civilians as glorified hostages?

They might be attempting to bait Russia into killing "civilians" for optics purposes, yes.

Odd target.
Not like one could obtain a fucking graphics card for the past several years anyways.

NVIDIA is a massive player in the AI field right now, which is likely to be the stage for the next arms race.

Russian is umbrella term like American. Russians dont exist it is tatars and hohols and jews

In that case, the term is "Soviet". Are all of my countrymen so ignorant of political history?

Some setbacks and some gains so far

This guy's a former world-class boxer and is the current Mayor of Kiev. Russians have got a nice, money-making POW on their hands

P.S. using "Kiev" from now on since you guys understand it. "Kyiv" sounds weird

The Russians have been capturing power plant rather than destroying them, most likely the latter.

 

[Elbereth]

At least they do not have Autogynephiles in Cabinet positions and their children castrating themselves. Poverty is nothing new, American wealth is an anomaly of history.

You are even dumber than I though. Putin will strip you of all wealth, make you and you family and children, poor, cold and miserable just by flashing scarecrown of trannies and "western degneracy".

Small minds are easy prey for propaganda.

This is the most pitiable kind of tribalist thinking. "Well, he might be a dictator who launches wars of aggression, murders his critics and builds giant mansions for his cronies while regular people live in poverty, but at least he doesn't like transgenders!"

Isn't that what you're doing? "Well, it may be an organization comprised of former Nazis, who support and finance far-right nationalist or far-left terrorist groups in other nations, infiltrate world governments, spread poisonous ideology in schools and other institutions, but hey, at least they don't try to reclaim territory that was stolen from them 30 years ago."

How does that globohomo boot taste?
