all the gay ops glowies do during peace time are always hilarious or annoying, but this kind of cryptic eerie shit they pull during wartime is when it gets interesting

Nor do I, of course. But the Russofags in this thread are, in their coping and seething, making it seem like it's been nothing but smooth sailing and "all part of the plan" for Russia. Anyone with the barest hint of military knowledge knows otherwise by now. Their army is struggling to beat a much smaller, less technologically advanced version of their own. It's a clownshow of epic proportion.

Fair enough. I think it just depends on your lens on things.

Most people want to exist somewhere in the middle on things (opinions, stances, etc.).

When there is a massive ideological push in one direction, people respond differently in how to keep things centered.

Some (like myself), pull the other way to try to swing it back to the middle (like countersteering in an ice skid), and then steer to the other side if things start swerving past the middle and into the other side.

Others (like yourself, I'm assuming), plant themselves firmly in the middle, and decry both sides as much as they can to try to restore things in the middle.

Most people here talking up Russia aren't actually fans of Russia, or likely fans of Russia invading Ukraine. Most are just responding to the massive propaganda push underway (seemingly) by TPTB to build a narrative where majority of the west support a military incursion into Ukraine. So, rather than try to stand firmly in the middle, we swing opposite to counteract the forces pushing people towards one direction.

Personally, I feel that Russia's motivation for invading (and the West's motivation for supporting Ukraine) is ultimately the same one it's always been: money and resources. Ukraine for natural gas, Iraq for oil, Taiwan for rare earth metals and semiconductors, Vietnam for the Military Industrial Complex before the nuclear arms race kept the MIC beast fed for the majority of the cold war.

Ukrainian military position located inside a school stormed by Chechen/Russian forces. Judging by the fact that people walking around in the footage are wearing yellow headbands I will presume that the Ukrainians were able to hold onto the position.

Someone on /pol/ translated and said it's Ukraine soldiers/militia filming their own.
Not sure if that's trustworthy.

Looters tied to a lamppost by Ukrainians.

At least it's not the worst thing that could have happened to them with that post.

Indeed. They could have gone full red green and made him walk around town dressed like this instead

Even though it's early spring, it's still 1-5 degrees Celcius in Ukraine right now. Guess, just handing them to the police wasn't retarded enough.

I know you just post to troll and stir up shit, so, I don't expect anything but bullshit from you in response. But, I'll give a serious answer for everybody else:

I've had a suspicion that a lot of this "Abandoned vehicle" stuff is straight up Uki Propaganda. All of it, no, but a good portion is.

To 99% of all observers, Ukrainian armored vehicles are indistinguishable from older-stock Russian/Soviet gear.

Why? Because when the Soviet Union fell, a giant portion of the Soviet military was stationed in Ukraine (due to it's geographic strategic importance in event of a war with the west).

What did that include?

Well:

(information gleaned from the ever informative Task & Purpose)


So, what does that entail? Those 6500 tanks were comprised mostly of T-72s and T-80s (some of which the Ukis upgraded into their current mainline T-84).

Of the 7000 armored vehicles, you're looking at a lot of BTR-80s and a mix of a lot of other soviet era shit.

This is why I'm super skeptical of much of the "Captured" videos. Ukraine has a lot of leftover armored vehicles from the Soviet Era.

So, the fact that the vast majority of these "Captured/Abandoned Russian vehicle" videos are of T-80s, BTR-80s, and other old soviet shit is fishy to me. It's an easy psyops move to just paint a white Z on the side of your old shitty leftover APCs and put up a video claiming you captured another one.

As for the "Captured Russian conscripts begging and crying" videos, those are even easier to make. Russian army uniforms aren't exactly a strictly controlled item, so dress your youngest looking guy with the best acting chops up, and have them give their best Oscar nomination performance. Not exactly hard to find Ukis who can speak believable Russian.

Overall, I'd say that I'm not believing anything until the dust settles. The Ukis are obviously mounting a strong PsyOps campaign, and I wouldn't doubt the Russians are too. So, we'll see.

I only hope my retard government stops themselves from sticking their cock in this anthill in their desperate attempts to virtue signal.

As I pointed out to another Russotard we also took Baghdad (8 Million population) in 6 days with losses of about 100 men, 2 tanks and an A-10.

Give me 80k NATO soldiers, predominantly US and UK, plus airpower, and your army of filthy mongrels would be completely annihilated. Utterly and completely.

Yes, because American tanks are ATGM proof, American planes are MANPADS proof, and American soldiers are landmine and L-shaped ambush proof.

If you ever had to fight a modern army with modern equipment you would face losses a bit more serious than 100 men and 2 tanks when you were taking an """"""8 million population city""""" being defended by demoralized Arabs that were bombed into submission.

I'm really starting to think the word "looter" is the new "saboteur," since we've seen them stop with that line and go to this. Let's be honest, we're seeing plenty of people looting out in broad daylight with no consequence but then seeing this as the punishment for "looting."

Depends on the city, some cities have mayors which are condoning "looting" and allowing civilians to strip shelves. Most are condemning it, as seen here.

There's mysteriously a banana shortage at the moment I don't understand why this is really fucking weird
