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

[Corpun]

How many people on Twitter and Reddit do you think would be crying for these soldiers blood because Russians are evil nazis if this happened today?

On Tuesday morning, “journalist” Daria Kaleniuk confronted British Prime Minister Boris Johnson, demanding NATO enters the war in Ukraine, despite massive public objections to Western nations becoming involved.

“You’re coming to Poland – you’re not coming to Kyiv, Prime Minister. You’re not coming to Lviv,” said Kaleniuk, in remarks being lauded by the international press.

“Because you are afraid. Because NATO is not willing to defend. Because NATO is afraid of World War 3 – but it has already started.”

Kaleniuk, however, is scarcely the “journalist” Western media outlets are portraying. Instead, The National Pulse can reveal, Kaleniuk is a long-time political activist recently used in the Joe Biden 2020 campaign. Additionally, Kaleniuk serves as a World Economic Forum (WEF) Global Young Leader.

According to Transparency International's Corruption Perceptions Index (a scale of least to most corrupt nations), Ukraine ranked 122nd out of 180 countries in 2021, the second most corrupt in Europe, ahead of Russia.

The 'Crying Journalist' Demanding Boris Drags Britain to War is a Biden-Linked World Economic Forum Global Leader.

So it works in reverse, then? Is that why the Russians had to bring in the Chechens?

Some history fagging, when China tried to crush the Tiananmen Square Protests, they brought in the regional equivalent of the National Guard. Most these soldiers were the sons of farmers and didn't understand or couldn't fathom to hurt their own countrymen. It was so bad the the ChiCom leadership withdrew the forces and brought in the regular army with state security supervision to carry out the actions.

Another view of the explosion in Kiev. Not sure if this is thermobaric or what.

Most likely not. A thermoberic bomb is pretty catastrophic by design. The US used to use a version to knock down a large area of trees to build helicoper landing areas. We're talking hundeds if not thousand feet minimum of a blast zone then shockwave. Most likely a conventional large bomb.

Prut River is an easier border to defend and it gives them a staging point to move into Romania in the future if they decide to push things.

Their ideal scenario would be securing (either via a puppet state or direct control) southern Romania, which would let them anchor behind the Carpathians and give them greater control over approaches to the Black Sea. Even just taking Moldova on its own though significantly shrinks the amount of borderland they have to seriously patrol.

One step ahead of you, comrade.

It’s amazing how war has turned into one side supported by Reddit and Twitter vs one side supported by /pol/. With KF fighting the urge to shed the label of “point and laugh observers” and join /pol/ because of the chance to get one on their mortal enemies.

Is your dumbass so desperate for attention you are going to start shitting another thread for le epic upvotes?

Micheal Malice put it best that the Russians love being ruled by assholes.

I don't disagree with this man's sentiment but looking at Russian histroy, it has always been ruled asshole after asshole.

And the weak assholes got booted out for being successfully portrayed as cucks by the stronger ones.

Russia doesn't have the same kind of democratic heritage that the United States has and something that I get tired about hearing from neocons and neolibs and other naieve bleeding hearts that democracy for every nation in the world is a must have for them.

This. As a whole, the Russian people want a strong leader at the helm. They want a "vozhd", even if he is tough on them. They expect that leader to take care of them and Russia.

One very big mistake most Americans make, not just about Russians and Ukrainians, but about just about everyone else in the world - they believe everyone else is just like they are, only speaking a different language.

Wrong.

Have studied a lot of Russian history. They've gone through things over the centuries we Americans should get down on our knees and thank God we have never experienced. Wish every American could view even a thirty-minute YT video on the salient features of Russian history.

People's history determines how they see the world, and how they react to it.

Suggest reading the book Bloodlands. Reasonably priced, used, on Amazon. Came out about ten years ago. The first volume of the Gulag Archipelago is also worth reading. Inexpensive used on Amazon. Read these, figuratively walk a mile in someone else's shoes. Not excusing Putin's aggression at all, but reading some Russian history gives you some idea why he is doing it, and makes you aware of the Mississippi River of bad blood between Ukraine and Russia.

In Santa Barbara train ran over someone and killed them. About three hours to deal with that. The train people were hawking tickets to a wine tasting, for God's sake. Later we heard over the train intercom that one of the female conductors was sitting in an empty roomette, crying. Jesus.

Heh she wouldn't cut it as an MTA conductor. They had 169 known hits last year. That's just in their system. There are conductors with multiple kills.
Jumping in front of trains seems to be a common mode of suicide in southern new england and NYC

 

[Shittus Maximus]

I know people have joked about "Russia didn't take Ukraine in 2 days that mean Putin sharted and pissed himself!!!!!!" but how long can Russia realistically sustain the invasion without pissing and shitting and cumming?

About three weeks if no other countries come in to assist Ukraine.

 

[Dumb Bitch Smoothie]

Oooh them air raid sirens are going off. I wonder what Russia has in store for them tonight.

 

[capitalBBustard]

Yeah the theory that Putin is a hardcore Paradox fan keeps getting support. He's trying to clean up bordergore

It would be pretty funny if Transnistria was given the part of Bessarabia mooched off to Ukraine.

Russian attempt to bunkerbust the Ukrainian government?

Russians With Attitude (@RWApodcast)

An (unconfirmed) map of the missile strike locations in Kiev - not sure what the targets are, top left square contains the subway station Arselnaya - the deepest part of the Kiev subway & where a government bunker is located. Kalibrs probably wouldn't be used on a bunker, though

Did Kiev fall while I was doing shit or something?

 

[The Other Baldwin]

Ooh it's been a while since we had a good olde fashioned Mccarthy witch trial.

We thought the leftists were Commies. Nope, just everyday fascists.

That account always brings me joy. Those people are dumb as rocks.

Did Kiev fall while I was doing shit or something?

People have been advised to write Kyiv instead of Kiev, because Kiev is Russian spelling. If you use Kiev, you just might be a Russian asset.

 

[Starscreams Cape]

What? You're not gung ho for the Ukrainian Trudeau that's emptied the prisons and throwing every civilian he can between him and Putin?

Well fancy that.

Think what you want of him but this fucking retarded take really needs to stop. The country is literally being invaded and threatened with annihilation. Plus you're assuming that most of those men don't want to stay and fight. What makes you think they don't?

There is no evidence he's "throwing civilians" at them, either. He's assuring Russia that any occupation will be a nightmare.

I know most Russians don't need freedom, just a couple bottles of vodka a week, a rat's nest apartment and a 20 hr a week job. But some folks apparently do, and think it's worth fighting for.

Forward Observations Group, founded by former US Army Special Forces and which flew to Ukraine in January, is currently based in Kyiv.

During yesterday's air battle the village Babintsi (Kyiv region) was hit by a Ka-52 Alligator attack helicopter.
The helicopter made an emergency landing. The fate of the crew members is unknown.

For that reason alone, I am now very tempted to use it.
