Dude the USA won in Vietnam because they had more kills or something.

So forever.

I cannot cosign Rei being shit.

Rei is a lot like Russia: strong and misunderstood and constantly being attacked by jealous, spiteful bitches.
Asuka is like Ukraine: a spoiled little bitch that is giving handies out to all comers and never does the work required.

I swear to god the western media having to tip toe around the fuckton of Nazi symbols in the Ukrainian military is one of the most hilarious things in this, motherfuckers can't post a pic without accidentally showing someone mid Hitler salute

 

[Duke Nukem]

I won't be happy until we see some turned into technicals. I want a tank hunting dump truck damnit.

Tank hunting dump truck sounds badass, not gonna lie.

My god... this is the worst news ever for Russia. This is the scariest news to come from the war so far.

What? I only said this as a joke. Crazy to see they actually are doing it.

Gopniks all over Eastern Europe are now sad because no tracksuits

 

[Male Idiot]

Are China and India dependant on the US?

Yeah. But it is a mutual dependency.

Trump tried to lessen it, and see what happened.

The amount of people saying "close the sky over ukraine!11!!!1" in the comments is terrifyingly high. i hope atleast half of these are bots because if there are genuinely this many people calling for nato to step in directly and drag us all into ww3 then i don't know man.

The schadenfreude I will feel about the financial ruin that is about to rain down on these dumbfucks will be of at least some solace as I watch all my money evaporate alongside theirs in the coming months.

Thus far I've been fairly impressed with Ukranian propaganda efforts. Undoubtedly it is being amplified by Western sources, but it has been effective domestically for them. Tales such as Snake Island and the "Ghost of Kyiv" have been widely disseminated on social media. If you examine the media and accept their perspective, it appears that Russian soldiers are incompetent, corrupt, and are fighting using equipment in terrible condition. The fuel problem besieging the convoys has been conjured up as being due to Russian troops selling their fuel to get drunk and afford food. The Ukrainians have also painted themselves as benevolent in videos of them feeding crying Russian POWs and allowing them to call their families. Zelensky the Jew has really been putting on a show for the audience and has assumed the role as a competent and uncompromising leader in the face of adversity. His speeches have been widely disseminated and appear everywhere and are edited with dramatic and triumphant background music. His addresses are all over the front page of Plebbit and people perceive him to be devoted to his country. There are comments all over espousing love for Zelensky and how great of a leader he is. Before all of this he had a 15% approval rating, and even that may be quite generous.

Support for Ukraine has reached a level akin to Kony 2012 in that it is a viral meme phenomenon. Celebrities have begun championing the cause and the overall messaging seems similar to that before the start of the Iraq war. There is widespread Russophobia that both the left and right can agree on. In this way, it has become a politically unified front that also supports future NATO expansion. Much of this support is vapid and it has become a fad all over social media. Democrats are behaving like war hawks demanding no-fly zones and ready to start a global conflict by getting NATO involved. Your average person couldn't even locate Ukraine on a map but are now experts in geo-politics and stand in solidarity with their populace despite knowing near zero about the country. The foreign legion propaganda was massively effective and will likely end up netting them a few thousand soldiers.

Russian propaganda has been more focused on painting Ukraine as filled with Nazis that harken back to those of World War II. There are multiple sources accusing Zelensky of developing nuclear weapons and preparing to detonate a dirty bomb in Moscow. Their state media apparatus has been towing the line that Ukraine has been waging economic warfare and sponsoring terrorism against Russia. It is a very popularist MAGA-esque messaging that the special military operation in Ukraine will "make Russia great again." They are really sticking to the line that this conflict is necessary for the country to continue to exist. They are emphasizing NATO and the threat it poses to Russia heavily.

Overall, the US seems determined to draw Russia into a conflict which will devolve into an asymmetrical guerilla war. They want Ukraine to become a quagmire like Afghanistan which sucks Russia in for years. The sanctions are intended to crush their economy and Russia will not be able to declare victory and as such they will be embarrassed on a global scale. The conflict will continue as Russia has to gain something from their attempted conquest to justify their economy shitting the bed. They may very well end up defaulting on their debt and face utter destitution like the fall of the Soviet Union. It is interesting to sit back and analyze the propaganda both sides are utilizing to sell this conflict to their respective populaces.

Honestly this is a take I don't understand. It is just what we see in the media every day cranked up to 11 in sheer desperation. Nothing impressive about it. Just more lies.

More like a pissed off resident that doesn't want a tank engagement next to his apartment.

This is really going to put a bee in some troons bonnets. "But but but... I thought I was fighting AGAINST the nazis"

Man, it's almost like Americans once again learned that IDpol fucked them in the ass yet again as every single evil thing in the world is was nazi this and nazi that - Now you have to bang support for a literal eastern Europe shithole composed of a small nazi enclave. Bet the press regrets calling all those Canadian truckers "CORRUPT EVIL NAZIS" just because some retard was waving a flag around in satire.

Russia has their very own GOP daughters who undermine their parents on Instagram.

https://fortune.com/2022/03/03/children-of-russian-elites-slam-ukraine-invasion/

It really is a testament to the power of trends on social media where your own children who you have provided infinite wealth through your involvement in a government are no match for an algorithm that feeds you thoughts to believe.

Some day these posts will be read by some judge at an international tribunal and they will say some shit like "Boris, your own daughter was condemning what you were doing to the world, how could you have gone through with it?"

Party of the reason a Republican becomes a RINO is because of their daughter or wife. There are special exceptions like Lindsey Graham.

However generally, whenever some RINO does RINO shit, look at their family like Ben Sasse and you just do the math on the rates of women voting for the Democrats and shit starts to make a bit more sense.

When Trump love of pussy came out, they targeted his daughter and targeted Republicans with daughters as well.

That is part how how catty men and retarded feminist cunts get political power, because men with some principles just cuck to emotional retardations and we see the disaster unfold.

Dude the Americans are trying to mend relations with Iran and Venezuela, that is like the last resort plan. It screams of desperation. They did not plan or prepare for this at all.

This is missing some nuance that belies your understanding of "America." The DEMOCRATS have been trying to mend relations with Iran/venezuela since the Obama administration at least. This is not a new policy, this is them trying to reverse Trump administration priorities.

Biden personally is scrambling to stay in power. These moves are not a reflection of "American" desperation, they are a reflection of Democratic party desperation. America will be fine, there will be economic pain from overextending but we aren't going to starve.

I think what you are correct about is the expansion of globohomo "democracy" is going to stop or reverse. The era of WEF meddling in every government in some global management scheme is over.

I see the three major powers, US, Russia, China all taking steps to be largely self-sufficient.

I excluded Europe because i think they are fucked long term. They need Russian energy, Chinese manufacturing and American military power.

I also think this energy crisis and threat of world war is a sham. Russia benefits long term because these sanctions will end and the oil prices will be sky high when they do. Opec will use fuckery to keep that price high for a while. Taking Ukraine gives them a greater energy stranglehold over Europe long term.

The US benefits long term because they also sell a fuckton of oil and also Europe now wants to rearm. That means buying weapons and equipment from us.

Once the democrats leave power, which I'm suspecting may be a planned thing, the US has a green light to expand oil and gas production at a time when energy prices fuck europe. Russia, China and the US are all hardening their economies against interdependence.

It could go lots of ways.

Democracy basically means government by the people, of the people, for the people; but the people are retarded.

 

[Coccxys]

So after Russia wins this, how many years are going to pass where people insist that Ukraine actually won despite losing half of its territory and all of its military strength; and then how many years later will the "fact check"come out that shows Russia actually won and that the media was lying for half a decade before that fact check is subsequently buried and none of the media apologize for lying and causing significantly more harm than was necessary?

Asking for a friend.

Forever, they will claim Ukraine didn't want Crimea, Donetsk or Luhansk anyway and getting rid of them was a huge victory.

Weekly reminder that the USS Liberty was sunk by Israel.

You wanted total war, now you have it Ukraine.

Turning every civilian into a fighter was a evil plan.

Very similar thing happened in Iraq '03.
Except instead of an official effort by Saddam to arm civilians, weapon depots were left unguarded by the coalition. People picked up free AKs and joined various Sunni and Shiite militias circa 2004-2005. Then by 2006 the Iraqi Civil War was in full effect, and the US military and neutral civilians were in the crossfire.


Many of the insurgents did not attack the Americans because they hated America. They attacked the Americans because they were trying to keep order, and order prevented the Iraqis from carrying out sectarian violence. It culminated in ISIS, though that whole thing had ((other suppliers)) adding fuel to the flames.

If Vlad decides enough is enough and gets Zelensky to agree to the Cede Donbass/Luhansk/No NATO deal, Ukraine will probably plunge into civil war in the coming years, with all the undisciplined gun owners walking around. UN peacekeepers could actually be useful for once if Vlad allowed it.

The problem with most of these maps is that it draws WW2 style "lines" when they're entirely obsoleted forms of measurement. This one is "closer" to reality but I still don't like the vast coloring down by the Crimea. This war is almost certainly going to be dictated by the vast amount of insurgents that plague Russia over the course of months or years and its important to note that Russia doesn't really control every little village and town in the countryside, they just destroyed formal national military units but left a seething population in the rear of their advancing units. Everyone should be very careful when dealing with these maps because they tell a false story. Every major invasion in the 21st century by a national military has been overturned by insurgent forces, the invasion of Iraq in 2003 had the US fleeing by 2009 as casualties were causing serious dissension in the country alongside the economic implosion, Iraq got dropped like a sack of shit. Afghanistan also was overturned in under a week after the US finally capitulated and left. I see no reason why Ukraine wont follow the same format.

What about Chechnya, and the bit Russia nibbled off of Georgia? Insurgencies have a better chance of success when your occupier is half a world away and labors under the delusion that it can transform your entire society simply by propping up a tiny urban elite and shooting enough "bad guys".
