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

[Vorapede]

Anticipating a swift and decisive war is what the military equivalents of Paul Krugman do.

Yeah right. The war will be over by Christmas.

 

[b0x]

Is this real or a comedy show impersonator?

 

[Phillip Green]

Russian Market Garden level of fuckup incoming?

I've seen this same claim about once a day from some Twitter larper with "OSINT" in their name. Yet every day the map gets a little redder.

I'm not saying they're wrong, but anyone claiming knowledge of Russian plans, timing, or casualties at this point, especially when it sounds like a great victory coming for brave little Ukraine, is almost certainly writing fanfic.

It could be interesting if this was a galaxy brain move by Putin to go for broke and test how much is Russia reliant on the west and identifying weaknesses.

could also see the idea that while mushbrains is in the white house that this might be the chance to go big
gonna take it in the ass economically but secure a ton of territory for food and just not give a shit about the rest of the world

Wtf is Russia doing?

Paratroops in kharkov?

Does Russian high command place any value on their soldiers lives?




QRD Apparently some sort of air operation is underway over kharkov according to lookner

 

[draggs]

invading ukraine just so you can find out how hard banksters can fuck you in the ass (really hard, turns out) seems like a very lolcow thing to do

 

[The Other Baldwin]

Ukraine isn't checking visa's or doing background checks.

"Welcome to Ukraine. Papers? Thank you. One moment while I scan your passport through this potato."

I mean, we elected a game show host turned shitposter....

And he still ran the country better than any Democrat and most Republicans in my lifetime.

Drinking game: Every time President House plant says Russia, Zelensky, or Ukraine: Drink. By the end of this, you will be as dumb and drunk as the people he is talking about.

Americans need to chant "everyone elses stuff is shit made by goblins out of scrap iron" sitting on their $50,000 Raytheon Tactical Buttock Supporters as Chinese hypersonic missiles annihilate their carrier group, or they are blown up by a rusty 1970s soviet land mine strapped to a donkey, because USA #1 is a question of identity not rational judegement

I'll believe in "Chinese supah-sawnak musseels" the minute they stop photoshopping shit.

As for the donkey, well, a stick will kill a motherfucker just as dead, that doesn't mean sticks are modern battlefield weapons.

Where it comes from is simple: We see constantly on sites that are 'military experts' about how the newest photo-op for the vodka or pollution goblin war machine means it does everything but leave a trail of horny strippers behind it, then they point at the US leaks or knowledge of US equipment and say how the other stuff is the greatest in the world and the US is totally outclassed this time, guys.

Then it goes into actual action, or we capture actual equipment, and it turns out to be made of cardboard, old scrap iron, and fucking wishes.

America's stuff is the best in a lot of cases but there are areas where other militarily come close to or exceed their capabilities

Most of it is with training.

Russia's ewar, artillery and medium rage missile capabilities for example probably meets or exceeds the americans

Russia's artillery is inaccurate as fuck compared to NATO standards.

We hear, every fucking time, how badass the Russian military gear is, but every time we see it in use, it's goddamn trash.

So, it's less "identity" and more "OK, their new T-What the Fuck Ever is badass, can shrug nuclear weapons, shits out drunken strippers, and runs on 100% green unicorn farts!" and then we see it wheezing and clanking along only to get destroyed by a drunken bumble bee.

Wtf is Russia doing?

Paratroops in kharkov?

Does Russian high command place any value on their soldiers lives?

So you're saying that this will become the Russian Market Garden?

 

[HOMO FOR LIFE]

Man.

Russia would be fucked if nato ever decided to invade with America what a shitshow

 

[The golden neckbeard]

So you're saying that this will become the Russian Market Garden?

All I see is its massive and much bigger. No idea if accurate

Guess we will know in coming hours

Pretty much everything around Donbass and southeastern Ukraine will collapse in a few weeks or by month's end.

And the successful creation of a land corridor between Donbass and Crimea was one of the main objective of this war.

Why the fuck would Putin back down if he has accomplished one main objective of the war in a few days?

a few weeks is a hell of a lot of time to lose this many men and resources, also i dont think he will but if he were smarter itd be to save what little he could for such a useless and pointless objective that relies on the delusion he can rebuild some russian bloc and be a big boy empire again

Russian soldier's lives?

The day that Russian high command starts caring about their soldier's lives, all of Europe all the way to Portugal and the United Kingdom is fucked.

 

[mr.moon1488]

I honestly don't think a modern western population have the willpower to endure a proper siege

They don't. Kharkiv has already seen some massive fights over food, and there's rampant looting in Mariupol. Also, this video kind of confirms my assumption of siege warfare. A lot of sitting around and just kind of waiting while arty is exchanged back and forth.

Video of an English speaking embedded reporter named Patrick Lancaster with DPR and Russian forces. Troops interviews, local perspectives, and war action. Apparently they are in Volnovakha which is in the Donetsk Oblast. The Youtube video itself does have subtitles/closed captions.

Does Russian high comma d place any value on their soldiers lives?

"Does Russia value human life?"

Is accepting candy from strangers a good idea?

 

[The golden neckbeard]

Not confirmed but Putin may have headed to the bunker

 

[apolloday]

Biden's State of the Union is near starting, should be embarrassing interesting

 

[MeltyTW]

We've gone from "Ukraine is a sovereign nation" to "Ukraine is a literal toddler being kicked by an adult".

In a week proUkraine talking points will say that Ukraine is composed entirely of paraplegic women and that the fact that Russia did not reach Kiev, capture Zelensky, secure every military base, checkpoint, and every kilometer of the Ukrainian border within 2 hours of the operation starting being proof that Russia's military is weak and shitty.

its not just about the time its about the losses and difficulty in that time, america didnt take that long because iraq was putting up a fight america thoroughly swept through the country to occupy it, they werent this far in trying to desperately siege out iraq, also im not pro ukraine, ukraine would probably hate crime me if i went there, i really hate russia as ive said

 

[Smity Werbenjagermanjensen]

With Kharkiv possibly the site of an Operation Market Garden reenactment might as well share this song.

Russian soldier's lives?

The day that Russian high command starts caring about their soldier's lives, all of Europe all the way to Portugal and the United Kingdom is fucked.

The whole idea of paratroops over a city makes no fucking sense. Half of them land on power lines and get ran over by cars. Hope this is propaganda bcuz if its real russia is dumb
