Footage dump coming your way...

A huge, whirring missile hits Kharkov pretty hard (link)



An equally powerful explosion was recorded from a car in Chernigov (link)



Russian vehicles arriving at Melitopol are greeted by shouting residents (link)



Finally, a medium-sized abandoned convoy of Russian vehicles was found in Voznesensk, north of Nikolaev (link)



BONUS: Found footage of a guy being captured in Volnovakha who is APPARENTLY Zelensky. Don't know why he'd be in a small town like that. I'll just leave the link here so you guys can check it out.

Man compares government invasion to 12 guys not associated with the government.
Tin foil hat on, but we don't really know if the Saudis were involved or not, right? Has an investigation ever been done? I very well might be wrong and it has been. I agree though, PJW is normally just a moron.

I believe the Zelensky video is a joke. Russian humor is super dry
 
Worthless?

Ukraine has a very powerful latent energy production capacity and food production that provides most of the food in the middle east along with Russia.
True, but this is nothing that Russia doesn't already have in abundance. Contrary to what the press might suggest, this isn't a, per se, land-grab.

Control of trillions in natural gas and food production in Ukraine will only mean that he can strangle Europe and the middle east from their gas supply and food security and thus have influence and control over them.
Russia and Ukraine have been partners for over a decade in providing Europe with energy. It wasn't until Rabbi Sky Marshal started whining incessantly to his fellow Davos-controlled muppet Spaghetti Sauce Joey Biden to help kill Nord-Stream 2, making angry, provocative statements about wanting nukes and inviting the US/NATO to engage in joint military exercises [while subsequently cutting off any and all negotiations with Russia] that this whole war talk started.

NS2 was competition Ukraine didn't want and was able to stop due to their corrupt and incestuous relationship with the Biden family et al.

But this goes way over your head because this conflict is much more complex than what the media and redditors say.
It's certainly far more nuanced than is allowed for in most discussion forums, on social media and in the degenerate freak west's propaganda press, but don't let anti-Russia/anti-Putin bias cloud your thinking.
 
I don’t see how they’re mercenaries, even if they are retards. Mercenary implies you are only fighting for money and could switch sides at any time for the same reason.

Spanish Civil War set the precedent for foreign volunteers that fight for ideological reasons. If Russia wants to be an ass, fine, but this is going to turn into one more fuckup on the pile if they go out of their way to make examples.

If Russia starts executing reddit trannies I'd consider it more of a selfless service to the world than a fuckup
 
Every time I hear Biden, or Johnson, or Macron, trot out the wannabe tough-guy line that they "vow to defend every inch of NATO territory", all I hear is "sorry guys, we are NOT sending troops to Ukraine".

Also BBC is talking out of both sides out their mouth: their website uses a map from day 2 or 3 showing minimal russian territory gains, and quotes from the MoD saying that the attack has "stalled". On the same page, they say Mariupol is somehow under seige and that people in Kiev need "humanitarian corridors" opened so they can evacuate. Which is it?
The eternal beeb. So committed to "impartiality" that they can't even differentiate between truth and fiction anymore. Instead they exist in land of wind and ghosts where everything and nothing is true.
Don't pay your licence, kids.

I've been pleasantly surprised by the general knowledge and depth of thinking in some of the posts here. But good lord, some folks are painfully dumb.

That being said, I've learned a ton over the past week or so in here, and in general about russia and the ukraine, and I am glad most folks have been pretty open to the back and forth. Aside from the retards, faggots and just trolly shit. If i have came across harsh or rude, it's mostly confined to really stupid comments and just dumb people. I seen Bryan Dunn a few pages back and i'm glad that faggot got chased out, i can't imagine anyone knowing less about something. Unless it's a thread about being a closeted faggot, or something.
 
Since when are the actions of the Synagogue of Satan that runs America representative of the will of God?
Since 589 BC, when Lehi and his tribe sailed to the Americas, wherein millennial New Jerusalem should be established.

Ya'll have fun in the irradiated shithole that Earth is about to become, I'll be chilling on Kolob with God, Jesus, and my boi Joseph Smith.
 
"Warning: Graphic video. This what happens when you give away weapons to civilians, without doing the appropriate checks. Most likely being attacked for looking like #chechen. #Ukraine"


muh gun control

muh military grade weapons in civilian hands

I don't even care what backstory will invent at the moment. We'll find out in a month or two.

If you got a flat, you were either out there changing it and hoping someone didn't make your day (Unless you were a PMC, then you could just toss a grenade in the seat and say "Oops") or you drove on the fucking flat.
And then there was endless argument between our command & mechanics about what "operator-level" maintenance means; we had officers and NCOs who absolutely refused to let their drivers do anything beyond motorpark monday PMCS. It was almost impossible to get drivers to stick around the motorpool for operator-level tasks during servicing; like actually removing the wheels & breaking them down; because "that's what you mechanics are for". Those lazy fuckers popped smoke towards the PX, DFAC, or TOC as soon as we showed up or recovered their vehicle.
And Baumholder in January? Who's fucking wheaties did you piss in to get sent there for WINTEX?
And then went for convoy live-fire training in Graf a month later. Being a non-divisional maintenance unit, we got attached to anyone who was short mechanics. Baumholder was with our battalion (who mostly didn't deploy with us), and Graf was for going downrange with 1ID.

Fact is though, foreign fighters coming from overseas because of places like Reddit likely do not count as mercenaries - it's just the PMCs.

Not to be the conspiracy nut or anything, but do you honestly think there aren't some contractors getting paid on the down low coming in as "volunteers"?

This volunteer propaganda is the ideal thing the western government would have their media push to imbed operators with ability to claim they didn't break their own laws.

Edit: Hasn't Russia even used this same tactic with Wagner peeps before?
 
Interesting article on the Asian reaction to this war. Wonder what Putin is thinking now. If he had been trying to fragment world opposition to his regime, he's achieved largely the exact opposite. This is one incredible fucking mess, and Ukraine has turned into Putin's Tar Baby. Have no idea now just how much more fuckery is coming down the pike. Amazing...


 
I think at this point it's safe to say the Geneva convention gloves have come off on both sides, quite openly too.
No, he's just stating a fact. Mercenaries are not protected by the Geneva Convention. They're in the same class as pirates and terrorists. In the olden days, surrendered mercenaries were allowed to have someone pay their ransom. Now they're strung up, and their bodies dragged around the city from the back of trucks.
The UN does not like mercenaries very much.
The GC is not too kind to mercs.
