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

[The Best Pet Reptile?]

Zelensky is demanding EU membership apparently. getting a little cocky.

It's not gonna happen, but I'd love to see Erdogan's face if it did.

Attacking persons or property who have nothing to do with anything. The anti-discrimination crowd are definitely discriminating Russians now. It'll get worse gradually. It's gonna be like muh Hollywood Medieval movies.

Reminds me when everyone was beating up asians for the coof

The Russians are allegedly shelling Kharkiv

 

[Vindeo]

Well, that ends the talks.

joining the EU normally takes decades as well.

 

[Saleh]

Remember that the Ukrainian part of the Black sea has also trillions in natural gas.

That's also one of the reasons why Putin went after Crimea.

 

[mudwogg]

Zelensky apparently just demanded immediate EU membership for the country.
Putin won’t like this.

NATO's been breaking their own rules for a long time. Ukraine was planning on arming itself with nukes because they weren't accepted into NATO. And the reason they weren't accepted for 14 years ever since they applied for membership was the country's rampant corruption, among other standards not met.

NATO pushing itself right at Russia's border was needlessly provocative. George Kennan, the intellectual father of the Cold War policy of the containment of Communism warned against doing it, and cautioned that the Russians would react badly to it. The same scenario would be for the US if Mexico was brought into the Warsaw Pact during the Cold War.

Weird how almost every paper went with the same thing.

Not really, that's an iconic style photo. Draws the eyes and sells magazines, probably gonna end up being the afghan refugee girl photo of the war.

IF THE DUMBFUCKS IN EU SAY YES, THIS IS IT, WORLD WAR 3 HERE WE GO BOYS

Probably just doing it to annoy people. I don't know why he'd do it in this thread though.

For Ukraine!

Interesting to see that the Baltic states are funneling foreign fighters into the Ukraine now.

If this doesn't end soon, that place will become a hotbed of political extremists and factional infighting just like Syria or Iraq. Those kinds of guys go to trouble spots to get combat experience and knowledge they might not be able to get otherwise, and take it back home with them.

Not all foreign fighter types go on to become terrorists or are even bad people at all, but these kinds of places they can gain skills that could make those who intend to do bad things at home potentially more dangerous.

Or you could be that college kid in Libya who just helps the locals with physically moving objects such as artillery shells and speaks to them in broken Italian. The Redditors I saw talking about going there would probably more useless than both.

Disagree completely. This isn't Iraq or some other desert shithole. Hell, if a bunch of those soldiers took a DNA test they would probably only be about 4 degrees off center. If that. Europe, especially that part of Europe, is a small place. It would be like comparing someone from Maine to someone in Maryland. It's why a hundred pages back some neolib bubble headed moron journalist said the same exact thing, just ass backwards and retarded because he can't admit openly he sees people from a sandbox differently than people he buys groceries with.

Whoever inserted "sacred democracy" into the NPC programming should be beaten about the head with a wrench.

I mean they just might.

From there on forwards the chances of this resolving conventionally is horrifically reduced to almost zero. (It's non-zero because Putin might get couped by his own elites, but it'd leave Russia potentially stewing in irredentist fervour for decades afterwards.)

 

[God of Nothing]

IF THE DUMBFUCKS IN EU SAY YES, THIS IS IT, WORLD WAR 3 HERE WE GO BOYS

they won't
zelensky gonna get judo hugged by putin

 

[Richardface]

I don't think there's a legal mechanism by which zalensky's demand can be met

 

[Saleh]

I would bet some of those foreign volunteers are just glowies in all but name.

In fact this whole foreign legion is just an indirect way of helping Ukraine without starting WW3.

 

[theshitposter]

The Ukraine propaganda (especially for Zelensky) feels disingenuous. Like it's the same PR people who tried to make Hillary likable.

Because they are targeting the hillary crowd. If they were to impress you, they would've made "can't stump zelensky" videos with centipede soundtrack

 

[armoreddinnerjacket]

Dunno if this has been posted yet:

Methinks negotiating with Putin may be fruitless in any case.

It's been removed now, but if you looked at the user post history while it was happening, it appeared to be spamming in basically all threads; most likely a bot.

All we really need is a flat "no, but we can still send you javalins if you want" to advert nuclear winter, but i believe the EU officials lobotomized enough to just say yes entirely out of bloodlust
