I feel like a lot of Ukrainians hate Russians more than the other way around. The Russian soldiers aren’t as into it. Many of them are orthodox and they’re related peoples. At least that’s the sense I get from the body language of the Russians. If the US invaded Canada, I’d expect a similar response from the US soldiers. It’s why they’re sending the Chechens. They won’t have the same hesitations.

This is pretty accurate, my dad worked with an Ukrainian man that immigrated to the US when he was young and lost family in the Holodomer. He was a pretty honest and hard working guy but he still harbored a lot of hatred toward the Russians if they were ever mentioned in a conversation.
 
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.
The Internet is simultaneously the greatest and the worst invention in the history of humanity.

Also, Kyiv is how it's spelt by Ukrainians. Kiev is the Russified spelling. Normally nobody gives a fuck but seeing as Ukraine is get assraped by Russia right now and NATO ain't doing shit, the international community figured they could at least be "nice" to Ukrainians and use their chosen spelling.
 
You people are so ignorant. I just learned on Gab that Russia is saving us by targeting "Pentagon Bio Labs" in Ukraine.
They have maps of the locations and everything.
I've really lost faith on finding anything worthwhile here.
Earlier in the week you missed the UN/NWO invasion and takeover of Canada.
Lol using Gab
Take your meds buddy

Also, Chechens - and I've met Chechens, great bunch of guys - are basically human pitbulls.

why dont you stay on gab you fucking newfag
 
Any chance we could split this thread up into one for informative posts, photos and videos, and on-topic debate and another one for shitposting and the 397th "lol sam hyde" meme? Even when just using the featured posts feature the shitpost to infopost ratio is a bit out of control for those (like me) trying to catch up on the news.
 
There is a lot of armchair generals sperging out on /k/ and /pol/ like retards but what i dont understand is, why did they split up and attack from multiple directions? russia's military is atleast 3 times the size of ukraines. All they had to do was gather their forces and push in from one direction and clear ukraine part by part. it would have been unstoppable, it would have been much easier to keep control of and direct their forces, they could have easily set up FOB's along the conquered parts of ukraine to maintain control as they pushed forward with the bulk of their military.

Instead they attacked multiple fronts in a hodgepodge manner and in doing so don't appear to have a strong grip on any part of ukraine now, the ukrainian government is handing out weapons everywhere in it's country to it's civilian population which wouldnt have been a problem if they'd done a singular directional push. It feels like this is going from a conventional modern military war to an insurgency which is the opposite of what you want to happen.
For logistical reasons maybe they didn't want to bring in all of their troops into the fight? Every new soldier and vehicle you send into a battle is an asset that will eventually need more ammo, food or fuel in the case of BMPs and Tanks. The push from Belarus down into Kiev makes sense because they are effectively trying to cut off the head of the Ukrainian government. Advances from the east could also eventually try to go for Kiev. The troops trying to move up from Crimea could be trying to secure the North Crimean Canal, beyond that I have no clue what the objectives could be on that front.

The mercifully low number of civilian casualties so far says they're making an effort to keep this as bloodless as possible, they could've just carpet bombed Kiev if they wanted to. They're trying to minimize the collateral damage, not because Putin is a nice guy, but because Russian atrocities being all over the news would hurt them.

It'd make it more likely Nato gets involved, put pressure on China to DISAVOW, and probably be extremely unpopular in Russia itself since they see Ukraine as their dorky little brother, not a hated enemy.

Quite likely their shock and awe didn't soften the Ukies up as much as they hoped and the resistance is effective in some places. Russia has kept plenty in reserve tho (again, suggesting they're hoping for a clean victory) so the final outcome isn't in doubt unfortunately.
I mean this isn't Syria If you were planning on annexing land and installing your own puppets into that region connecting it to the motherland you do not want to reduce everything to rubble that you will have to rebuild.

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.
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
So China, who invests hundreds of billions into a defensive war machine made specifically to counter America's strengths, can't feasibly win a war game without it being rigged to finance the industrial military complex?

It was posted about here, on page 526:
A few people on Twitter have noticed that everywhere Russia is attacking in Ukraine is the site of a US biowarfare lab.

Twitter have gone out of their way to suppress this, and even threadreaderapp deleted unrolled versions of this thread. :stress:

Sounds like Ukraine are blowing all the bridges around Kiev to keep Russian tanks out.

Good grief. It sounds like those who predicted Russia storming the capital within a day were just about correct.

Wait, so Russia rigged the USA elections in Trumps favor? And Trump is sympathetic to Russia?? Why didn't they rig the 2020 elections, considering they were invading Ukraine in 2022??? Its almost like Russia had nothing to do with the elections!
Oh the Russians do try to influence the election but so does every other nation including our suppose allies and of course we fuck about with theirs, even our allies.

Don't think anyone missed it, Trudeau just got scared by men who aren't cucked like him and he pressed the panic button because he couldn't handle the horrors of seeing a differing opinion.

If you don't want to show favoritism, just split the difference and call it by the Rus name, Kænugarðr.
