Ukrainian troops have supposedly destroyed a bridge between Odessa and Mykolaiv:

This ties in with earlier reports that Russians were landing troops in between the two towns but were allegedly suppressed. It seem the Ukies are expecting more. Destroying infrastructure at the frontline is a smart preventive move in any case, as they have the advantage of maneuvering from further inland.
 
Russia seems to be legitimately trying to minimize casualties. Boasting about how many people they've killed wouldn't actually help them.
My guess is either they are eating shit or they don't want to brag and publicize war details about how many Ukrainians they are killing to avoid triggering much larger sanctions
They probably do not want to encourage any more anti-war protests in Russia. What purpose do they need that kind of propaganda for they are acting on their own and are the aggressors. All they need to do is tell their people that things are going well the "Special Operation" is on schedule.
It should be noted that yesterday we had a decent number of clips from regular gopniki-at-arms and that we had very little today. Make of that what you will.
Don't really need to talk mad shit on the internet when your bombing the capital and surrounding it.

Ukraine is talking a mad game.
Russia just seem to be going for the kill shot, we'll see how much they'll teabag the corpse when they get it. Till then radio silence.
I'd still expect a bunch of phone vids by ukrainian civies checking out fucked up remains of ukrainian soldiers, or even by retarded gopniks who have a hard time following gag orders. Stuff should slip through.

As is, russians look like incompetent retards rushing in and getting picked off. Which is accurate, but y'know, it's not like they're doing anything to combat that image outside of boomer media telling you Russia stronk. Makes it seem like they genuinely are getting fucked in the face with nothing to show for it.
 
Did you know that China wins in America's own war game simulations?
That's not unusual, the point of wargames is to find weaknesses in our own doctrines and equipment. Also, if we won all our wargames, how do you justify begging Congress for more money? The point of war games is never to set up the rules to fuck over the other guy, you don't learn from that. And convince the idiots in congress that the commander of the Air Force absolutely needs that gold plated coffee maker or else the Russian/Chinese/Terrorists/Whatever will win.
 
Not sure if this was posted in the thread yet; can't find it in the thread search, so I'm posting it here, too!

Ukrainian mad lad crashes a Kiev livestream to Morse Code "niggers tongue my anus":

That is not someone crashing the livestream. All Ukraine car alarms are equipped to blink morse code "niggers tongue my anus" because the person trying to steal or brick your car is by definition a nigger.
 
Poland is already in NATO.

And will soon have a border with Russia nearly twice as long.

I think a lot of people who are getting caught up in the intrigue surrounding the combat and memes are missing how big of a deal this is. What we're watching could easily be called the most significant event to happen in the lifetime of many of us.

Russia telegraphed that they were going to attack in such an overt manner that western intelligence was screaming about it publicly for over a month, during which time they insisted it was just exercises and nothing would happen.

Many people in the west believed that including seemingly world leaders.

We were specifically warned of a possible false flag to justify an invasion and that too was dismissed. And in the end Russia didn't even bother with one.

And even then only the most hawkish people thought an invasion would touch anything other than the separatist zones.

They've just proved you can't be hawkish enough with Russia. That's going to drastically change the political situation in Europe and it will effect the US's military position as well.
 
Did you know that China wins in America's own war game simulations? Adjusted for inflation they are already close to US's military spending.
Whose wargames did you think I was talking about?

And what happens after every one? The Pentagon comes hat in hand to Congress and says hey we need another 50 billion so this HORRIBLE WARGAME ANNIHILATION doesn't happen in reality, we are just poor sojers not shiny bureaucrats in charge of 800 billion dollars a year. It's not enough, we need 850!

You think Chinese generals and admirals running their own wargames don't set things up so they can go to the Politburo and do the same? They aren't wargaming cakewalks for the PLA, that leads to complacency and politicians deciding to only give you 9 mountains of money not 10 and you really need 10 the national defense is so fucked if we don't get 10 mountains of money ok. Then next time it's not 10 it's 12 or 13
 
I've got to admit, I didn't think that Putin was actually going to go ahead with the invasion a few days ago, back when the tensions were just starting to erupt.

I still think that this is going to massively backfire for Russia, even if the Russians do manage to annex Ukraine and turn it into a puppet state. The Ukrainians are not going to surrender easily, and this could quite easily turn into an Afghanistan situation right on Russia's doorstep.

Putin may be an autocrat, but he cannot completely ignore public opinion. There are already signs that the Russian people do not want this war, and when the casualties begin to become visible, it could put the current Russian leadership in a very precarious position indeed, especially given the current economic situation in Russia. I just hope that too many people don't have to lose their lives before we finally start to see some positive change in this part of the world.

It's easy for you to post glib nonsense like this when you're not the one being directly affected by it, let alone doing the actual fighting. The actual fact of the matter is that war is hell, and it is inherently socially regressive in it's effects, because it invariably involves poor, young men suffering and dying for the benefit of rich, powerful, old men, and it was forever thus.

Potentially thousands of people are going to die because this conflict; that's thousands of families who are going to be missing fathers, brothers, sons, cousins, and uncles, and it's a personal loss which will be mourned profoundly by these people for the rest of their lives. Do not forget that.
Ok Neoliberal
 
I don't even know what's happening anymore, I'm being bombarded (lol) with misinformation from ALL sides. I don't know if the Muscovites are winning, or if the Khohols are losing? Is the Ghost of Kiev even real? Kiev is being nuked tomorrow? Kiev or Kyiv? Why are both sides calling each other Nazis? Are the Ukrainians the Nazis? HOLD ON! BUT THERE'S PHOTOS OF RUSSIAN NAZIS, SO THE RUSSIANS ARE THE NAZIS. But... Zelensky is a Jew!

Fuck, the Internet ruined wars.
