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

[CashMoney!]

Putin looks pretty fucking good for 70. He could probably kick my ass in a fight.

Good to know.

On different note, I ran across this earlier to today:

And wanted to ask does Putin seriously sit that far away from his advisors? Other photos appear to corroborate it:

So what the fuck is up with that? Is he that terrified of being assassinated? Or just that paranoid about catching covid or something?

Make sure everyone in a meeting knows they're his bitches

They have to make sure he can hear them and they can hear him

Not his problem it's theirs

I think someone upthread said Putin was a germaphobe.

Putin is a germanphobe

It's as if a few people in this thread can't conceptualize anything beyond the most superficial black/white good/bad conception of morality.

Now Spanish sites are debunking Bernie Gores.

No! La CNN non ha annunciato la morte del presunto giornalista "Bernie Gores" in Afghanistan e Ucraina

Come è nata la bufala del "giornalista ucciso due volte"

Personally I'd go with it being a power play type deal. It has to make you feel powerful to be at the head of the table looking down at subordinates. If you're of an egotistical bent that is.

The way we have isolated Russia since the end of the Cold War just isn't right. Western Europe dragged the world into two massive World Wars, Russia saw massive casualties in both and bore the brunt of the fighting. We spent decades rebuilding Western Europe, kissing their asses, and shitting and isolating Russia. I don't agree with Putin invading Ukraine, but he has many legitimate points, and it has shown just how piss poor the west's policy and diplomacy has been for decades.

I don't recall Russia being unenthusiastic about fighting in either of those wars

At least before the Germans kicked their ass for 3 years straight in WW1 and when all they were doing was gobbling up half of Poland and conquering all of the Baltic States and invading Finland in WW2 before the Germans started kicking their ass again

We are now at the point that American journalists are advocating the start of WWIII.

Nothing to say about that, except if any of us make it out alive, I'll see y'all on the other side of this.

Another good thread by a armchair (formerly actual) general, Zelensky needs to decide whether to order Ukrainian forces in the East to stand and die or attempt to retreat, knowing they'll be in the open with Russia having air superiority

Five days since the Russian conquest of #Ukraine began. In the past 24 hours, we have seen limited Russian progress in the north and east, but more in the south. My 5th set of observations, noting there is a long way to go in this campaign. 1/23 (Image via @IAPonomarenko)

English is the only language of higher education in India.

yeah the whole idea is "you've gotten into Designated Caste University by virtue of your parents' checkbook, now learn enough english to pass in other countries"

I think someone upthread said Putin was a germaphobe.

So is Trump. I think a lot of politicians are. It’s what happens when you shake hands all the time and can take no sick days.

But it’s a low key reference to Hitler, because an infamous armchair psychiatric diagnosis claimed Hitler wanted to kill the Jews out of a fear of “filthiness” and “unhealthiness”.

 

[BayView]

I felt the same way with the A2.

"I feel like I'm gonna break this faggy fucking thing."

M16A2 feels like a toy? Maybe I'm a faggot but I thought it was fine when I held it

Also, just so you are all aware where the posts from the previous post came from

Marvel’s Best Movie Is Trending Because Of The Russian-Ukraine Conflict

The best movie Marvel's ever put out is trending and, strangely, it's all because of the Russian-Ukraine conflict.

Yep, Marvel is trending because of war. Peak consumer culture!

America’s due for getting her ass kicked.

We need a wakeup call. ISIS wasn’t enough.

What the hek do you think has been happening for the past 2 years?

 

[Disheveled Human]

Looks like shit is gonna pop off soon, get the war crime footage ready.

Its interesting that both Germany and Japan have an obsession with cleanliness and extravagant toilet designs

Hitler was a fastidious and spartan man in his personal tastes but yeah I'm pretty sure the Hitler is a neurotic germaphobe stuff was good old propaganda

this shit never gets old.

Brave Serbian man travels to Ukraine and delivers thousands of home cooked meals to refugee women. He is being known as "The Feeder of Kyiv".

Let's pretend that tomorrow Ukraine says "WE SURRENDER. WE'RE GOING TO BE LIKE THE FRENCH AND JUST GIVE UP!"

Russia wins this tiny portion of land. He wins Chernobyl, which is a radioactive deadzone.

What are his prizes?!?!
- Every country hates him
- His own allies hate him.
- The only 3 people who are neutral with him are Cuba and 2 other very minor countries.
- China said they didn't condone this stuff. They're out
- His own citizens despise him
- Everyone he would have "ruled over" has left. They have all sought refuge in other countries. He has no one to rule.
- His economy is in shambles
- His legacy is tarnished.
- LITERALLY EVERYTHING THAT COULD GO WRONG HAS GONE WRONG
- The world thinks he's a laughing stock because his big scary army got whipped and nae nae'd by ordinary civilians and a smaller army
- The ONLY REASON they surrendered is because Putin said "IF YOU GUYS DON'T STOP I'M GOING TO BLOW THE PLANET UP"

I don't think anyone thought less of Putin. Until he invaded Ukraine I always saw him as this intimidating man with a track record of badass achievements. But now? Dude's a disgrace. He just....This is like when Little Mac beats up Mike Tyson in a TAS speedrun. Everyone who's looking on at this is just like "Wait....This is the thing we were all afraid of?"

What happens if I spell Kyiv as Kiev in the same sentence?
