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

[Spicey McHaggis]

India, Brazil, CHYNA, and Mexico, are some of the bigger counties not willing to Cancel Russia. With China's CIPS they can get around the SWIFT ban but likely will have to cut in the helping country.

China media goads Russia to use CIPS over SWIFT

Russia can use China’s Cross-border Interbank Payment System (CIPS) for its international trade after its major banks were removed from the US dollar-based SWIFT payment system in response to …

>Last year, the total business volume of CIPS amounted to 79.6 trillion yuan, up 75% from 2020.

Mexico operates a fair amount of Russian helicopters, so I imagine joining in would be very inconvenient.

The autistic, head wobbling, incandescent Poo rage that would come from US sanction on India makes me really wish the old dotard would do it

But I was assured they would gladly submit to American demands to give up their autonomy because the Biden family is mad that their paychecks got cut off. More seriously, in poor-but-big countries, being seen as bending over for Uncle Sam is political suicide. That's why I expected this.

I guess they needed to, otherwise it would be harder to fish for Reddit gold. Even if it did get bombed, I’d still be more worried about hospitals and schools getting bombed over memorials, as more people frequent those places.

i poked around a bit more

people are upset that a holocaust memorial didn't get damaged because it might slightly reduce the negative impact on Russia. Ukraine is officially more important than a holocaust memorial to them

"russia"-rf- is a collection of conquered federal lands, inhabited mostly by turkomans.

"THE ukraine"-ua- is a swamp of discarded pieces of terrible countries, inhabited mostly by semi-sentient potatoes.

A Russian defense spokesman has said the Russians have so far suffered around 498 killed and 1597 wounded whilst claiming the Ukrainians have suffered around 2870 killed, 3700 wounded and 572 captured.

Take with a mountain of salt obviously given where the info is coning from but it seems more accurate than the Ukrainian claims of 5700 Russian dead.

Couple of western articles:

Russia Gives First Count of Casualties in Ukraine War

The Russian Defense Ministry gave its first official accounting of casualties in the war in Ukraine, saying late Wednesday that 498 soldiers had been killed and more than 1,500 wounded. It also said that more than 2,800 Ukrainian troops had died in the fighting. Ukraine’s military said more than 5

Russia confirms casualties in Ukraine ahead of the next round of talks

For the first time, Russia's Defense Ministry has announced casualties, saying 498 troops have died. Delegations from Ukraine and Russia are preparing for a second round of talks, expected Thursday.

Completely sane and unbiased article on Russian casualties and their collapsing war effort courtesy of our friends at the New York Times:

Russian Troop Deaths Expose a Potential Weakness of Putin’s Strategy

Videos and photos show the bodies of soldiers left behind on the battlefield, officials say, and the charred remains of tanks and armored vehicles.

Their numbers are definitely bullshit, since they claimed to have destroyed 46 Ukrainian drones, while they only have a total stockpile of 26.

This is what happens when you bring guns into a no-gun zone. Banning Assault weapons could have prevented this.

I found some decent gun memes from /pol/ today.

New Task&Purpose video update and tactical analysis:

If you're actually interested in knowing what's going on, watch the vid.

I can't do the video justice with a TL;DR, but I'll say: the Russians have encircled Kiev and established a FOB, and are beginning phase 2, where they'll shell it to hell. Russian special forces have also captured a key airfield outside of Kiev that is going to be able to airlift in fresh troops without the weariness of the road march. The Russians may have initially underestimated the resistance they'd face, but they've adapted. 80% of the staged force has now been released into the Ukraine, and so far all the Russian moves match the Soviet/Russian tactical playbook, on the grand scale.

Whoa, why are you insulting potatoes like that?

That thing posted waaaay back where the Russian colonel said civilian volunteers would shit themselves and run away after just a couple of stun grenades may have been correct

Russian troops attacking civilians blocking the entrance to Enerhodar, there are casualties

Very few people wouldn't unless there's the threat of your own side shooting you for desertion.

 

[MarvinTheParanoidAndroid]

Ignore the idiotic title, it should be "sanctions against Russia" instead of "sanctions against Ukraine."

It's astonishing to me that the common sense, most obvious route of dealing with Russia is not the one being taken. Is there a maximum IQ threshold to being a politician like there is with being a cop? Why do retarded politicians like Joe Biden and George Bush all seem to just fail upward?

Deploy the third Amhole army, 3rd trans battalion, dilation division. Otherwise known as the queen berets these redditors bring new meaning to the term “special forces” because they are the specialist spechuls ever. Who can stand up to their weaponized autism and blocking abilities? Russia? Shit the NCO Jannies have been fighting AKTUAL NAZIS(tm) since trump got elected on 300 boards. Tell the tranchers we have found Earl and he is pretending to be Ivan. They can end this war through the power of rainbows and shit. The smell alone of their short c-130 will gag even the most combat hardened soldier. They will be cancelling everyone and peace will reign again (if you donate to their gofundme).

Serious note I enjoy watching this thread because no matter how retarded we all are? At least it’s honest non shill retardation. Mostly.

Oh you guys use those old fashioned razors? I bought one for the legs, are they super sharp?

Sharp, closer shave, much cheaper, better shave. I only wish I switched sooner to Russian blades instead of those FUCKING American Mach 3 razors, probably made in Ukraine.

 

[Vesperus]

Since "Ukraine" means 'Borderland', I suggest we start referring to it "A Ukraine" whilst taking a long, hard look at Finland.

30 Year old boomers like myself and older tend to screw up and will write "The Ukraine" quite often.
