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

[Protistology]

Racemixing results in either a UK tier shitshow of mutts, or a cultural nightmare like the Austro-Hungarian Empire.
“Lol but I fuk de hot wammen”
Okay, but in one hundred years your children will be at each other’s throats in the best scenario. Russia is a great example of this. It has to base military units in bumfuck nowhere in order to outvote the locals and maintain political control. Its size and diversity will be its doom one day.

But that Uzbek pussy tho...

Absolute retard. The second you hear "Foxtrot" on that Skyking channel it's all over -- literally every human alive loses.

In current year its only nuclear war, if you think it will wipe of all human civilization, you support Putin you bigot.

It doesn't occur to them that this might have something to do with the fact that they're banning people more frequently?

Every single time i go on reddit for more than 20 seconds I see breathtakingly stupid shit..

That story is based off a falsehood anyways.

The real Anastasia ended up with a bullet in the head in some shack out there somewhere in bumfuck Russia by a retarded halfwit.

Guy gets into an argument about how NATO should definitely join the war even with the risk of nuclear war because he thinks it can be won, and he's got FACTS to back him up.

Somebody is using HOI4 as their proof of winning an Atomic War. We deserve our impending annihilation.

Hell, I don't think it would wipe out all civilization, but fuck if I want to find out. Deliberately seeking a nuclear war is absolutely insane.

I'm pretty sure everyone knew that. The movie knows very well that it's a purely fictional story, not a revisionist one.

That said, isn't the whole plot literally about the cast leaving Communist Russia?

One the bright side, nuclear war would mostly target cities and large urban centers.

I don't know if this has been posted yet but I believe that sneaking into Ukraine from the Polish or the Balkan border and "fleeing the war" will be a new "doctors and engineers" route to Germany because there's an awful lot of talk in Eastern European member states about whole trains full of Arabs and Africans. There's no way in hell Hoholland has so many of them, foreign students included.

Interesting thread (archive) from a guy who seems to have had a decent amount of experience in the Army with trucks.

But their sidewalls are fine. That might be from the spike traps the ukraines have been making and setting all over the roads.

Seeing this made my eyes twitch from repressed memories of just how shitty CTIS was on our M35s, M989s, LMTVs, HETs, etc. We were a goddamn depot-level maintenance company, but even just turning on CTIS caused exactly what is happening to the Russians; and one of my first really shit taskings as an Army mechanic, was being on the detail sent to disable the CTIS system on every single truck in our fucking battalion... literally days before going to Baumholder during January.

That wasn't just our trucks; around 50 of them; but also all the prime movers in the two fuel & waterdog companies attached to us.

IIRC an MWO & kits to fix the system didn't get issued before we deployed; and the only times I ever saw CTIS being used on the fly, they immediately went flat.

[KinoVision]

Can the economist larpers here explain to a retard like me how the sanctions are a bad thing for Russia?
They can still sell natural gas and shit right?
If western imports are being restricted wouldn't that promote domestic products?
Wouldn't this just advance Russia being independent from the west? And is that a bad thing for them?

Day 8.

• The access to the Black Sea is locked by the Russian army
• Pro-Zelensky Ukrainian units in the Donbass will have to choose between retreat to Dnepro or encirclement
• The Russian Navy seems to be preparing a landing on Odessa

Northern axis (Kiev - Chernihiv)
The Russian army's operations are now focused on the right bank of the Dnieper, east of the capital.

The junction with the offensive axis coming from Sumy has been achieved.




Eastern axis (Sumy - Kharkov)
The fighting is intense in Kharkov where unfortunately the residential areas have been ravaged by artillery fire. An undetermined number of civilians have been killed, it could be high.

Spoiler

The most radical elements of Zelensky's forces led by the Armenian Arsen Avakov were in charge of the defence of the city, which explains the intensity of the clashes.


Arsen Avakov (right) with Zelensky

Eastern axis (Donbass)
The breakthrough of Russian forces in support of the separatists continues towards the north.



Southern axis (Odessa - Zaporijia - Mariupol)
The most spectacular development after the conquest of the Sea of Azov in the east and the advance to Mykolaiv in the west, the Black Sea fleet moves in what appears to be a plan to land on Odessa.

Get ready to be disappointed, be Xi Jingping is more of the kind to manipulate and subvert and lobby until everyone in a country he wants is a pro-Beijing lap dog in his pocket.

Not to derail from the main point of this thread but it's worth mentioning that Xi probably gets that strategy at least partly from The Protocols of the Elders of Zion, which believe it or not is a bestseller in China. The book is often claimed to be a hoax in the West but the Chinese believe it is true and use it as a basis for their own strategies. The CCP avoids direct war with the West, and resorts to long term infiltration of institutions to expand their influence. And that's not even touching the Chinese tendency to buy up Western property and their attempts to gain monopolies of various industries.

Basically if you want to understand modern China's political strategy, read the book but substitute "jews" for chinese. I'm not making any of this up, this book is openly and widely circulated in China and is popular in both political and business circles there.

Go to check DCS videos on youtube and oh boy, the amount of chickenhawks on there that think just because some guys can do stuff in DCS means we need to head over to Ukraine right this instant and start bombing away.

This shit is sickening.

c'mon do a war already

OK I'm feeling pretty shitty about this post right about now.

The democratic party did it, they turned the "progressives" and "pro-peace" people into neo-neocons, these are not war hawks anymore they are fucking war thunderbirds.
More hungry for war than a neocon
Clutching their pearls harder than fundamentalist
And the most obedient blood hounds the government has even more than any boomer that hasn't died
The "progressives" have become a worse nightmarish amalgamate of everything they swore to destroy
Yuri would be impressed

Since I first noticed how frenzied everyone (mostly due to the media/social media) got over this entire ordeal I had a feeling that we'd find ourselves with a lot of new war hawks (although I, and probably Russia too, was still shocked how intense things got so quickly.) Usually it's just a few days of fake outrage by people who don't know where the country is, followed by praising the newest Netflix Original or whining about something Joe Rogan says. Hey, remember how everyone was going nuts and Boomer artists who've been irrelevant for years were sticking it to the man (the white supremacist, evangelicals who obviously control the government and the media) by trying to cancel Spotify? Me neither.

I don't mean to simplify it too much, but if you want to sell war to Progressives (and it's increasingly difficult to separate Liberals from that camp) in America: find a white enemy; it's catnip for them, and it's easy for these people to rationalize why they should be out for blood. Hypothetically: had Turkey crossed the Black Sea to invade Ukraine would they be going as crazy? I think not. Would they suddenly be more receptive to hearing the aggressor's side of things, and would they seek to find nuance rather than turning Erdogan into a Marvel comic book villain? I think that the answer is yes. Would it be acceptable to have the sudden influx of anti-Turk sentiment? I doubt it.

Then you've got what's left of the Silent Generation and the eternal Boomers who have had the promise of war with Russia dangled in front of them forever. War was totally coming any day now for them is what they grew up with and I wonder if this almost feels comfortable to them in some way as they know that the clock is ticking down on their own lives.
