Russian Invasion of Ukraine Megathread

[Melight]

Pentagon has apparently said this isn't happening now.

Reddit is absolutely seething now - they legit thought these were going to roll in and DECIMATE Russia's forces. There are threads with people trying to 'Legalese' a way of getting them into Ukraine- Because Russia is totally not gonna get upset if they get caught with a Reddit 'Gotcha' and distinguish that they received the jets on a technicality

I still think it´s gonna happen. Mostly disinfo seeding so it doesnt look as obvious, honestly it was retarded from the beginning to make a potential deal like this public news in the first place

Shit I may as well start learning Mandarin now.

Here's a useful term:
Baizuo (Chinese: 白左; pinyin: báizuǒ, Mandarin pronunciation: [pǎi.tswò]; literally White Left) is a Chinese neologism and political, racial epithet used to refer to Western leftist ideologies primarily espoused by white people.

The word "Baizuo" refers to those who "only care about topics such as immigration, minorities, LGBT rights and the environment", but lack a concept of "real problems in the real world". It is also used to describe those "hypocritical humanitarians who advocate political correctness just to satisfy their own sense of moral superiority".

Is it too much to hope that our new masters will put the troons and twinks to good use (that is, vivisecting them for organs)?

Sure, they have HIV, but the CCP is never deterred by petty things like viruses spreading.

Well, enjoy your authoritarian hellscape. Swear to God, it’s so easy to impress Internet castaways you’d wonder why this shit is only going down now.

This is the real start to WW3, if China buddies up with Russia it will piss off the West & we'll all be forced to move our slave labor light bulb manufacturing to some other shithole like Thailand or Cambodia. It would be the end of China's economic prosperity outside of their Russian alliance, which they seem to take for granted given they are the CCP after all. Their whole economy is imploding anyway so why not? lolyolo.

Pretty optimistic to say that the West leaves China. The CCP will do anything to ensure that the West is stuck relying on China, if only for profit margins.

What are YOUR honest thoughts about this whole conflict? Like how do you guys feel about it?

Uncalled for. Believe Putin could have gotten much of what he wanted through diplomacy and negotiations. As things stand, he's royally fucked things up. Poor intelligence, poor logistical planning. You plan for worst-case. Putin planned for best-case. Everything has flowed from that.

Now the 2022-style Lend-Lease is coming in. Now the bodies of dead Russian men are coming home, to angry families. Putin worked hard over the years to divide Europe and split Europe from the USA. In less time than it takes to tell about it, that's all gone out the window. Ukraine is putting up one hell of a fight.

Is Putin corrupt? Yes. Is Zelensky corrupt? Most likely. But then again, politicians all over are corrupt, just a matter of degree.

The river of bad blood between Russia and Ukraine, already the size of the Mississippi at St. Louis, just gets wider and deeper.

And we are once again reminded that the older people start the wars, the younger people fight them, and the oldest and youngest people suffer the most. If you can, as you can, donate a few bucks to Save the Children.

Is every single high ranking person in government this bad at lying?

I think they just assume (rightly) that most people are gullible knaves who won't hold them accountable.

As much as I hope this shitshow blows up in the Cathedral's face, I must remind everyone with great pain that virtually nobody responsible for GWOT or 2008 saw so much as a slap on the wrist.

Even if America enters its equivalent of Weimar/Yeltsin years, don't expect the guillotines to come out. Most people will simply keep sitting around with their thumbs up their asses and wallowing in denial of their misery.

Its being widely reported that the Saudis refuse to even take calls from Biden. So the Biden Administration is now supposedly planning on an uninvited trip by Biden to Saudi Arabia to personally BEG the saudis to help them. Kind of similar to how they sent senior administration officials to Afghanistan to beg for help from the Taliban during the the collapse.

My take on this is that the rise in oil prices is now completely out of control. That Biden now sees a total economic crisis on the horizon that he has no ability to deal with. And that Biden is running around the world begging anyone he can find - friends or enemies - to solve his problems for him.
Welcome to the first stage of an economic crisis. And there isn't one competent leader in the entire western world.

Well! It's about time that I get my daily dose of "well, we're fucked aren't we?" supplements.

 

[More AWS-8Q Than You]

So as a bit of distraction from the hurry up and wait phase of all this, thread song?

Or has this intensified since last year?

I'm going for we're so fucked it might as well be both with a helping of the Neo-Cons jerking off as they pray for this

I always wondered what the end of a Glubb cycle would be like, I just didn't expect it to be so damn stupid.

 

[Random Internet Person]

Oh, I think there's plenty they could do to deal with this: announce tomorrow that they're lifting all domestic drilling and fracking restrictions, for one.

But they won't do that, because that would upset the Wine Aunt demographic. Because this administration is run by fucking West Wing LARPers.

And then some Chinese guy enters the oil and fracking business and sets up shop in XL country, leading to millions of new applications despite most of the good money going to Beijing and Winnie at “take your kid to work day” leading to pink slips.

This is astounding. It's shows the absolute illegitimacy of the Biden Admin when allies refuse to deal with them. I wonder if overseas intelligence agencies have proof not only of the degeneracy and criminal activities by the DNC cabal but also that the elections were secured by deliberate and widespread fraud? What are the chances Biden is on video saying "Saudi sandniggers tongue my anus" and such? I mean it could be worse than any of that and its Hunter/Joe spitroasting a 10 year old Yemeni refugee gifted by Iran? idk but whatever it is, its bad.

They’re all great, I’m just wondering why you used the English version.

You know what? I had just assumed they were modernized based off the first article and Poland's NATO status, but your comment made me take a look, and here's what I found:

I was wrong: Poland may have just pulled of the grift of the century

These Mig-29s are so old and shitty that they had to put out a grounding order because of all the accidents.

They didn't lift that order until 2019, when only a portion of the planes were found still airworthy, lol.

Poland might have just sent a haul of deathtraps to Ukraine, lol.

The Polish jets are so shitty the US turned them down

And I lay the blame for this on every stupid motherfucker who voted for Joey. Mid-terms can't come soon enough.

If they don’t respect Biden at all, they’d release that shit already to just burn the bridge completely.

Just pray for traditional rules to be in effect by then.

To be fair during the Yeltsin regime there was an attempt to hold him accountable and it brought together communists, fascists, tsarists, republicans, and all sorts of agitators. Unfortunately, TPTB and Russian oligarchs kept their puppet from being deposed.

 

[Retink]

Well, enjoy your authoritarian hellscape.

Bro, if I went outside six months ago without a mask a cop would shoot me in the head for my own safety and then niggers would rob my corpse and burn down my house. Reality has been an authoritarian shithole no matter where you've lived the last few years.

Worse. This admin is made up of Redditors and former Instagram brainlets.

I've just received word that Joe Biden is standing outside the Saudi capitol with a boombox over his head blaring a Peter Gabriel song.
