The hell is this. I hope horrible things happen to these scum. Looks like the Ukie volunteers are a grand glorious gathering of the world's scumbags.

The rate of roadside bombings and other IED/VBIEDs is going to increase precipitously, or Ukraine can use them as sappers; since questionable ethics ≠ wartime utility (sometimes).

That man ripped his nutsack in half with a power drill and still has a better understanding of geopolitics than anyone in twitter, what a world

Lol!!! Not a politically-gifted guy, but still a decent fighter. A win over Edson Barboza is not nothing; that guy has nasty spinning kicks.

It is very strange that Russia and the USA don’t get along culturally. We both are hedonistic barbarians who drink ten gallons of booze a day, romance underground crime structures, believe in extreame dog eat dog and desipse South American online game players. We both have weak casus belli for war and we both want big titty blondes to sit on our face.

Really, the fact we both didn’t turn to each other over China is the greatest shame of all time. Could you guys imagine a 100% united west including Russia? Too bad Stalin fucked it all up.

Shoulda put those niggas into NATO.

Russia joins NATO, you say...

No context via dvach.
That guy bouncing got me.

If anyone's curious a woman does point out that "look that dickhead is dancing" and something something Putin bad. And I assume I don't need to point out what they are chanting.

Awwww, that boyo is flexing alright!

Where is Academi/Blackwater in this? I recall seeing news years ago, where it was reported that numerous of their scumbag operatives were killed by Houthis.

They were in Ukraine before the war even started. They have been there a while.

Erik Prince (Blackwater) presented a whole plan to Ukraine in 2020 where he proposed to build an army to save the country. But his price for doing it was Ukraine handing over large parts of its defense industries to him as his personal property. He had this dream of creating a $10 billion dollar a year defense company in Ukraine that would make heavy military equipment. But the price was too high for Ukraine and the deal never happened. So Blackwater now supposedly mostly trains the elite and special forces operatives in Ukraine these days.

If foreign volunteers ever worked in today's era, Syria would be under a different kind of regime more in line with Saudi Arabia than the current dude in charge.

Ukraine already had a decent army and not something ragtag like the Iraqi military of 2003, If Ukraine had something more like at minimum Uncle Assad, yeah the guy is a corrupt fuck but loves his nation and kept the trains on time, compared to the current dude who loves playing the piano with his cock, well I am sure Ukraine would be in a better position now.

When there is a corrupt cunt in charge, its pretty hard to fight for them unless its like a Hitler and Stalin scenario where the invader is probably worse than the guy already in charge.

Foreign volunteers usually works if Uncle Sam or Uncle Vladdy is carrying out airstrikes for them on their enemies in todays era

Beyond that, just extra for the meat grinder.

One would argue foreign volunteers were a ticking timebomb, even historically. The sack of Constantinople in 1204 was due to the then-Byzantine Emperor being unable to pay his Venetian mercenaries. They were as liable to help you as to pillage the countryside.

Unsure if we'd see that here, however. There's almost nothing in Ukraine to pillage (so far), but if the Ukies cannot feed them then we may start to see quite a bit of spiciness.

Retarded question: Why is the world banning gas despite it leading to tripled gas prices? Light prices seem to have skyrocketed too. I don't really see this lasting long or homeless people are going to skyrocket soon too.

Because Greta told us too

And in a side note. now that she's over 18 I can no longer be banned from Reddit for "sexualizing a minor" saying the the Covid shutdowns caused her to orgasm.

Yet there was no riot police used in Georgia '08. The plan for blitzcringe seemed like that:
1) VDV captures the airfield near Kiev and rushes to capture the city (that alone is fucking delusional. If there is even a slightest bit of resistance, you won't be able to land and unload planes. One good howitzer salvo and tarmac will be unusable for days/weeks);
2) Simultaneously, sleeper cells in Kiev are activated and attempt to capture/kill high-ranking officials (in reality it seems that cells were neutralized/hijacked by SBU);
3) Riot police moves in to help with possible civil unrest (turned out that fancy riot gear doesn't protect you from bullets you fucking pig)
4) Victory.

I like how all myths about Russian armed forces are being debunked simultaneously: VDV is literally inferior version of the regular infantry, Russian ECM is nowhere to be found, Chechens are nowhere to be found, police spetznaz is only good at beating unarmed civvies.

Yeah, Ukraine doesn't really need to be in NATO but Zelensky pretends the NATO membership is important, thus he can get more leverage at negotiations,

Yeah, I think this is what used to be their plan for this "special operation". That choice of words themselves already suggested they're already thinking it will be a decisive lightning quick attack on Kyiv. I want to be a fly on the wall when Putin and his generals realized their plan is shit, their troops are shit, and their situation just turn into ahit

Lol, imagine not understanding that Russia has taken a deliberately measured approach and has also held its best troops in reserve as a defence against attack by NATO forces.

Dude, "saving their best troops"? They literally sent the VDV to die in botched up missions over and over again. They lost two generals already in a very short time

a summary so far. at least the sponsor isn't Curiosity Stream again...

I watched some of his videos, I kind of like some of his analysis. That said, his voice sometimes just can't make you take what he said seriously, lol

Also translated Aleksandr Dugin's works into English.

That was a pretty good pick off by Russia. Send a Russian woman to the politically connected manlet and see what happens.

Honeypot tactic always works, anytime, anywhere. Some men just shut down their brain once the blood flows to their dick

Is China

Also China

For now

Remains to be seen. People thinking the fake money matters more than the ability to manufacture actual things is an... interesting take.

Ok lol.

lol, imagine still thinking China's economy is still going to survive. Does everyone just forget the Evergrande and real estate industry problem there?

I found this video very interesting. Guy lived in China for over a decade but had to escape when the CCP started going after him, and he seems to really understand how things work over there, especially the propaganda machine.

Look at how many times Chinese media changed their messaging as the invasion progressed. I'm not 100% sure they want Russia to be their North Korea 2.0, but it certainly seems plausible.

This guy's videos are also good, I'll check it out later when I have time. But suffice to say, this war is definitely sending CCP to panic, hence their mixed signal here and there

 

[BradCarter]

My only hope for this conflict is that it lasts long enough to shred all reddit volunteers with shrapnel.

 

[Margo Martindale]

Hmm, isn't gigachad Russian, like the actual sleek n tears guy himself (aka Ernest Khalimov)? I wonder how he is handling this, I imagine with the same face

 

[eternal dog mongler]

Oh this is going to make 2008 like a fun little dress rehearsal for a real collapse. The shooting up of energy prices was already becoming a serious issue in a lot of places, driving that upwards is going to cause major damage to the economy.

It's pretty telling that poor people are like "wtf we shouldn't get involved in this" and the rich (or just upper middle-class kids on Reddit or Twitter) are all for increased sanctions and boots on the ground.

Colbert now saying that paying extra in gas is good so you can have a clean conscience.

Starting to understand why after taking power Lenin killed a clown first. Fossil media funnymen are the worst.

EDIT: forgot to mention HUNTER BIDEN and his BIOLABS

 

[Doctor Ivo Robotnik Sr.]

You know I’m glad to be in a place where we rightfully call out Ukrainian propaganda I’m a bit concerned about how we switched to sucking off the Russians.

Like a guy shooting a couple of geezers not moving at him is not the fault of the Ukrainians.

 

[Coccxys]

Ukies cannot feed them then we may start to see quite a bit of spiciness.

If this is still grinding along come winter I expect a lot of people on both sides dying trying to stay warm because the fuel ran out and there weren't enough warm jackets. I know if I'm heading an army logostics which between my own men and a bunch of foreigners that turned up I would prioritise if it came down to it.

In addition to the "pay" problem, the other issue with depending on foreign volunteers is that they are often very picky about where and when they fight. They typically can't be put under the same discipline as the normal army and tend to always have an opinion when told to do something. In most conflicts putting them on the front lines is just a bad idea.

 

[Hüftpriester]

Reminder that Richard Spencer was always a glowie

Spencer got completely mogged by Joel Davis in a debate on the crisis. He made such a retarded analogy, saying that anyone criticizing American foreign policy is akin to an offensive lineman not blocking his man on a third down running play because he thinks the coach should've called a pass. Davis pointed out that no one has ever run the ball with the result of an entire country being wrecked and Spencer had absolutely nothing.

Spencer was also confronted with the fact that the American Empire is the sole driver of white displacement and doesn't have Europe's best interest at heart and again...he had nothing. He's sounding more like a shrill CNN host every day.

The unofficial embargo on Russia's oil continues, as dock workers in the UK refuse to unload from ships that may have Russian oil.

This comes on the heels of shipping and container companies already pulling out of Russia for fear of getting caught in a sanctions trap.

Furthermore, the canceling of Russian energy exports also effects Kazakhstan, since most their oil goes though a pipeline to a Russian port city on the black sea

Gentlemen, we may witness the Western world (especially Europe) literally virtue signal its way into a depression. The US and Canada could position themselves very handsomely in these times, but both countries are effectively run by cat ladies who despise the natural resource industry for political and personal reasons. And with talk of the USD risking its reserve currency status, it could set off an Apocalypse in the United States that could turn out worse than the depression.

Why are cat ladies are in charge to begin with lol.

And what can be done to vote them out or get rid of them somehow peacefully.

Ukraine troops consist of:
>Neo Nazis
>Redditors
>Glow Niggers
>Muslims of every variety and terrorist sect
>All commanded by a Jewish comedian
Diversity is their strength, i guess????

I can think of a bunch of fiery but mostly peaceful solutions but that'd be glow posting

On the plus side a catastrophic crash like looks likely should be enough ti drag those cunts under too. Have them experience real hardship not just the rent on their bay area apartment being high or someone calling them sir when they're clearly a cute animu girl.

This is a place where everyone gets to play. There are people sucking off all sides represented here. Its the price of having an open forum. But be careful about using "we". There is no "we" in any of this. Just individuals.
