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

[Cold Root Beer]

If anyone wants a mostly neutral, informed breakdown of the current military situation, Task & Purpose has been putting out regular videos that are pretty good:

Important takeaways I learned were that given the size of Ukraine, the Russian progress has actually been pretty damn fast.

Also, the Russians shelled a city that was only 10km from the Polish border. Given NATO rules, one stray shell and we might have kicked off the WW3 boogaloo early, lol.

The A-10 is a sitting duck to modern AA missiles and literally any fighter yet, its a Modern day Stuka.

So are helicopters, and yet the military still uses them.

This isn’t a video game. Everything can get destroyed by something. There are no invulnerable tanks or planes. The Warthog is good at CAS, that’s its role.

Another good thread from a military analyst

Michael Kofman (@KofmanMichael)

In the first 4 days, Russian tactical aviation, except for some Su-25s, largely sat on the sidelines. So have most combat helicopters. They have hundreds of both deployed in the area. Russia's air force is missing in action, and largely unused. 14/

Then how come those jets and modern day AA missiles aren't protecting Russian convoys from drone attacks?

Those drones are much smaller than a ground attack aircraft, and don't carry as large of missiles or as many, let alone a gun. They're not really what cold war era air defense and detection was designed for- which is a Strike Eagle screaming in at mach 2 with eight air to ground missiles, instead of some dinky ass motorized kite dropping a laser guided bomb.
This was observed with the same model of drone between Azerbaijan and Armenia, the latter of which had air defenses that theoretically should have been plenty capable of dealing with them.

Thank you for doing the bare minimum and not going totally full warhawk, fags.

If John McCain were alive, he'd be bawwwwing about this (very rational) decision right about now.

God, I hated that motherfucker. At least we're eternally spared his war-mongering bullshit.

NATO needs to allow plebbitors with plebbit gold to fly A-10s into the warzone. If enough pro-Ukraine subbreddits participate surely the war will be over in no time. If you like this comment please upboat and give plebbit gold. Today me tomorrow you. Am I right?

 

[Strix454]

yeah, I saw that, pretty cool


so what's this "fascist bondage" he is talking about? Do you see any "fascist bondage"? This is like a fucking S&M invitation.

He (in the letter) is talking about the pro-Russian people in eastern Ukraine. They get treated like shit the same way that the pro-Ukrainian people on the other side
of the front lines get treated.

There has been a war going on in Eastern Ukraine for many years. It started out with real fighting. But both sides got disinterested in sending soldiers
out to fight. So each bravely started shelling everything within the distance of their artillery and started looking for traitors on their side of
the respective line.

The Azov Battalion is a bunch of LARPing idots. Since fighting is hard, they like to just run around Eastern Ukraine doing stuff to anyone they
find who they think looks wrong. The "Fascist Bondage" might refer to one of their more famous war crimes where eight to ten of them raped some
male retard. There is a whole BDSM component to it because all the Azov boys are nazi larpers in their nazi uniforms. But all the nazi stuff is cool
because the President of Ukraine is Jewish and he is cool with it.

On the other side of the line, the people in the so-called republics steal peoples stuff, tell them to leave and/or just kill them. Its not as colorful
or as BSDM as the Azov battalion stuff. But its very efficient and produces the same result.

They are all cowards. They all fight against civilians. None of them are any good on either side. T

Another day in Poland which is getting more and more retarded (Never thought that would be possible). The pic, circulating in the social media calls for DDoS-ing unspecified Russian websites.

Years ago we used to have "script kiddies", no it's overweight Karens engaging in every protest on Earth and zoomers.

TL: Go to sleep but leave your laptop on and use our totally safe link to do max damage to crucial Russian websites (like official pages of the Kremlin and so on). Yeah, it will slow down your system but it helps.

Powerful dominant men are the ideal leaders. It's men who elect Nixon and women who elect Eisenhower.

Women are attracted to powerful dominant men. Their sexual preference spills over into their political preferences and vice versa.

Giving them the vote was one of the biggest mistakes in world history.

Giving women the vote was only (barely) surpassed by the idiocy of giving men the vote.

Giving free white men of good character who owned land the right to vote should have been the limit

Men who aren't white, 35 and over and don't own land. Yes.

None of you dumb nigger cattle deserve to vote.

At that point all you need is some Ukrainian who gives no shits to start shelling Poland.

is the doomsday device really that autistically programmed? The russians were able to take ones of their fighters being downed by the Turks without the cobalt-balthorium G bombs being detonated. Article 5 doesn't compel war declarations or ICBMs immediately leaving their launch tubes, members still get to decide for themselves what they feel an appropriate response is

Here have the text of the article in question

"The Parties agree that an armed attack against one or more of them in Europe or North America shall be considered an attack against them all and consequently they agree that, if such an armed attack occurs, each of them, in exercise of the right of individual or collective self-defence recognized by Article 51 of the Charter of the United Nations, will assist the Party or Parties so attacked by taking forthwith, individually and in concert with the other Parties, such action as it deems necessary, including the use of armed force, to restore and maintain the security of the North Atlantic area."

Just like the US paranoia over Japanese-Americans in WWII for fear of them being spies. Technology may change, but it’s amazing how those same justifications will still be there. Even funnier coming from the type of people that claim they aren’t racist.

It’s not “paranoia” when it happened day 1 after Pearl Harbor.

Helicopters have the benefit of being able to nuthug terrain to mask themselves going for them though instead of being a giant missile truck with a meme cannon.

I love the A-10 but it ain't a good fit for this fight.

If the US does intervene his corpse should be dug up and strapped the front of the first M1 to crash across the line. its what he would have wanted

Translated: an attack on anyone is sufficient but not necessary cause for ing shit up. You can choose to say “whelp” and send some helmets.

A collection of abandoned Russian armored vehicles has been found in Sumy region. It's the largest amount of abandoned vehicles I have seen so far in a single video (link)

Seeing all this slavshit abandoned is making me depressed.

They all deserve a good home!
