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

[Spicey McHaggis]

That's the part that worries me. Before all this started the entire thread was about how they had nothing to gain and would be screwed if they went for it so they won't. Then they did. Something we're not seeing must have changed that calculus and it's 50/50 if that something is sane.

At this point I'm half convinced he actually wants these sanctions and have an excuse for a new cold war.

Because it's illegal for private citizens to export weapons without permission? Dumb cunt has never heard of ITAR.

 

[BradCarter]

When the very same system of economic control is used as a weapon against both foreign enemies and domestic political undesirables, it absolutely is part of "cancel culture".

There's a huge difference. If the US starts shooting a bunch of sand niggers in a foreign desert, I'm mildly upset. If they start gunning people down on my street, then it's an entirely separate entity. There are things it's fine for the state to do to foreign countries that is cause for civil war if they use it on US citizens

What does the sign on the left say?

What is the current take among the "common" Russian people concerning this whole debacle in Ukraine?

"Abroad" to the left, "Homeland" to the right. The opinions vary: myself, all of my friends, all of my acquaintances and all of my colleagues - literally everybody I know with a single exception - are sad, shocked, disgusted and deeply ashamed. The boomers support the war, though, and sincerely believe Ukraineans are vile nazis who are shelling themselves to make Russians look bad, were killing the Russian people in Donbass for years, and deserve to be liberated by courageous heroes who use magic rockets that would never-ever hurt an innocent person who is not a Nazi. I wish I was exaggerating.

And of course, everybody is preparing for absolute financial misery, shifting money into so-far-unsanctioned banks or cashing out. On the first day of war people stormed both jewelry and tech stores to empty the shelves before their savings evaporate just like they did in 2014 and 1991. A few days ago the ATM in the nearest mall had a 60+ people queue, with those depositing being allowed to skip so that the ones ahead could withdraw.

The muslim labor migrants (tajiks, uzbeks, etc.) who do most of construction and janitorial stuff here are leaving in droves, "while they still can" as they say. Yesterday Putin banned all outgoing money transfers abroad, which means they can no longer send their salaries to their families. It also means nobody can pay for Spotify, lol.

Overall, the mood is grim. Which is a jarring contrast with absolutely beautiful spring weather outside, as clear and bright as a Disney movie.

That sounds like BS,, the russians just dig a trench and use that as landfill,,,

Maybe the Ruskies are gearing up to holocoaster the Ukrainians then. I've worked with mobile trash incinerators before and the one picture that keeps getting shared is almost identical in back. Just throwing stuff in a ditch does seem like the slav MO though, so who knows?

Because the left is the one beating the war drums? So fucking transparent, these fuckers who want us to nosedive into WW3 want everyone else to do the fighting so they can virtue signal. Absolute scum.

I can't get over this picture with the face hidden. Does they really think Alpha Group is going to hunt down some Redditor who could easily be posting this from home for the updoots?

 

[Übertroon]

I got to hand it to people for the audacity when it comes to the whole Ghost of Kiev thing

 

[Coccxys]

Well at least the ((investment bankers)) took an L out of this.

Except we've all just rolled over and quietly accepted it while they've used it on US citizens for years now.

Working equipment abandoned. Perhaps a sign of deepening disenchantment among RF soldiers (someone already posted earlier on Ukies putting abandoned RF equipment to use) but perhaps a certain amount of soldiers are IDGAF in every war. Apologies if this was posted. I'm looking at things, but there's so many liars and grifters. Farmers are better than journo-scum.

Yeah, or it's ukrainian tank that they try to pose as russian. It's not like they tried this shit many times before.

OH NO WHAT WILL THE GHOST OF KIEV FLY NOW!!!!!

Leftists are pushing that using and buying guns mean the penis is not getting erect.

Russia and Ukraine should be sent millions of doses of viagra and cialis.

 

[Iron Jaguar]

Ironically, I would think most fascists are actually rooting for Russia, right now.

I know I am.

These useful-idiot types like to reinforce that they need a bitch slave class to do their bidding. The ones most intent to "Fight" for Ukraine want to command others to do it without expense from themselves.

 

[BradCarter]

Right, but it's completely separate from shit being done to Russians. And if you are aware they are already doing it to US citizens, why get worried about it being done to a foreign country? That ship has sailed so who gives a fuck about them also doing it to foreigners?

 

[The Other Baldwin]

Is there some level above full retard? Because attempting to impose a no-fly zone is so absolute retard it has to enter some kind of megatard zone. Does this clown realize that wouldn't possibly work and that Russia isn't some Iraq-level shithole where we can just shoot down their paper airplanes with spitballs?

The Kinzinger Effect.

got my income cut in half starting today because the company decided to "take a stand" and stop selling product to Russia

wow, you care about war thousands of kms away, clap clap

just fuck my shit up

NPC's gonna NPC.

I highly doubt they'll make any reddit larper an officer and put him behind the lines. I don't think 500 hours in Hearts of iron is enough to earn a commission

Really? This administration?

That's not how this works. That's not how ANY of this works. Go back to taking pictures of your feet and selling them on OnlyFans Thot.

At this point I'm half convinced he actually wants these sanctions and have an excuse for a new cold war.

The tiny rational part of my brain is starting to think so (and that the west\MIC wants it too) but the rest of my brain + Putin can't do the calculus on that outcome.

I've literally already explained this twice.

Patrolling the newsreel almost makes me wish for a nuclear winter.
