Russian Invasion of Ukraine Megathread

[Socrates]

That's not really going to be a problem if they're radioactive dust now is it? Just think of the savings if Chicago gets hit.

Not sure you'd want Chicago blown to smithereens, the dust of the city might be more toxic in the air than the radioactive fallout.

 

[Toolbox]

Thats the first time I heard of it, in fact what I remember is that not even all of the northern hemisphere would get hit because despite all the nukes many were expected to fail/not reach the targets and hitting some third world country was low priority vs a decapitation attack on the enemy and destroying their nuclear silos and bunkers

And yeah when I say "northern hemisphere" I mean everything above the equator including china and japan even tho the latter has no nukes

The movie was BS, not even cobalt bombs can do that shit

Fallout will be a bitch but because of atmospheric aerosols not radiation

Fallout doomerism completely ignores how well the ocean would actually tank it. Even meltdowns like fukushima get absorbed and it was on the coast. Ecology in general would get fucked for a long time, mostly land based, but fallout, deadly fallout, would at most last a few decades in the worst hit regions.

This is a pretty good novel about a nuclear detonation in the US. It's about what happens in a small rural town and while a bit far-fetched (it would be far more chaotic imo) it's really good at describing what you'd face in the absence of a functioning federal/state/local government, electricity. food/potable water and fuel.

Anyone know where is the original livestream of the invasion as YouTube is making harder and harder to find shit by filling my screen with globalist shit when I am trying to find the original videos of like the trucks and vans below getting into Ukraine?

I have been trying to find footage of this car and so far can't, I guess it was a made up meme since the original picture came from an Ukrainian poster.

I remember this highway, I posted a screencap or two from that camera back on the 24th -- this was shot near the Kakhovka Hydroelectric Station in Kherson (GTranslate), according to the Milinfolive VK group. The two watermarks on your first vid are from a couple Ukrainian ISPs. I have a 5 minute clip from this camera, but it's not the one that your mystery car appeared in, assuming this isn't purely a joke -- my clip doesn't have the black car in the lower right corner in it at any time.

From the 3 threads I found from the VK group that mentions this location:

Initial post from first thread with video clip and map copied below:

Lightning Freshwater in Crimea Be! Post passed \ post accepted! The column of the Armed Forces without much resistance drives towards the column of the Russian Armed Forces. Frame from the North Crimean Canal Fig.1 Z-troops right now crossed the north-Crimean canal and take control of it. Tanks, Bratters and other techniques, a total of more than 40 units. Techniques. A little later, we recalculate more UPD: Kakhovskaya HPP passed under the control of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation.

Молния
Пресной воде в Крыму быть!

Пост сдал\пост принял!
Колонна ВСУ без особого сопротивления проезжают навстречу колонне ВС РФ. Кадр с Северо-Крымского канала Рис.1

Z-войска прямо сейчас пересекли Северо-Крымский Канал и берут его под контроль. Танки, БТРы и прочая техника, в общей сложности более 40 ед. техники. Чуть позже пересчитаем подробней

UPD: Каховская ГЭС перешла под контроль ВС РФ.

Here's a copy of the video clip from this thread, it's the only one I've found so far from this camera. Original video link is annoying and tries to nag you to log in, and the original is 4K/30fps so it buffers like a bitch.

Here's the first post of the second thread, which includes the photo you're interested in. It's the first bullet point that relates to the silly car, I think. No one seems to have any more info on it, but they thought it was hilarious. ("Zorro! Is that you?")

1) The "Recent Reserves" go to battle. 2) Machulishi, arrived by the An-124-100 of the VKS Russia. 3) The NTV correspondent demonstrates the British NLAW British PTRT on the positions. As reported, the weapon was thrown by Ukrainian military during the retreat of N.P Vopasco. 4) Tank Tank T 64 BV VSU under the Melitopole 5) In Odessa, the hu is minted by the beaches, fearing the landing of the landing. 6) Airplanes are seen near Pervomaisk, the Nikolaev area. 7) The consequences of fighting in Kherson, on the Antonovsky bridge (southern approach through the Dnieper). Ukrainian littered on the video (contrary to the comment of the author of the video) T-64BV tank. A new division of Chechen security forces is preparing for shipment from Grozny. 9) the occurrence of the DPR grouping on the Mariupol direction is developing.

1) В бой идут «последние резервы».

2) Мачулищи, прибыл Ан-124-100 ВКС России.

3) Корреспондент НТВ демонстрирует захваченный на позициях ВСУ британский ПТРК NLAW. Как сообщается, оружие было брошено украинскими военными при отступлении из н.п Лопаскино.

4) Горит танк Т 64 БВ ВСУ под Мелитополем

5) В Одессе ВСУ минируют пляжи, опасаясь высадки десанта.

6) Самолёты замечены возле Первомайска, Николаевская область.

7) Последствия боев в Херсоне, на Антоновском мосту (южный подход через Днепр). На видео засветился УКРАИНСКИЙ (вопреки комментарию автора видео) танк Т-64БВ.

Новое подразделение чеченских силовиков готовится к отправке из Грозного.

9)Развивается наступление группировки ДНР на мариупольском направлении.

Someone in the thread cracked the joke "The situation's so bad Putin personally went to the front?", and another shitposter added this one:



Last thread I could find that had anything about this particular stretch included the note that it was near the hydroelectric plant, and another angle up the street. But no cute little car.

There's more on the telegram, but I don't use that shit.

 

[Clem Fandango]

“Today, I’m announcing the U.S. is targeting the main artery of Russia’s economy,” Biden said. “We’re banning all imports of Russian oil, gas and energy.
“The American people will deal another powerful blow to Putin’s war machine.”
“We’re moving forward with this ban understanding that many of our European allies and partners may not be in a position to join us,” Biden said. “This is a step that we’re taking to inflict further pain on Putin, but there will be costs as well here in the U.S.”

I hate these faggots so much, it's not just the retarded policy which is bad enough, it's the attitude "Yes you will take getting fucked up the ass but you want it because you want to save Ukraine!!!" It's so infuriating.

I just hate the language they use: targeting a main artery, powerful blow, inflict further pain...

Mate, your troops will never set foot in Ukraine. All you're doing is not buying something. All this violent language is so impotent.

Supposedly the Luhansk Donbass grouping of the Armed Forces of Ukraine has been surrounded, trapping roughly 30,000 to 50,000 men behind Russian lines. awaiting better confirmation so take with a grain of salt at the moment. if this is true though, the main fighting units in the donbass will have been destroyed opening the front for a huge russian advance.

OTTAWA—Prime Minister Justin Trudeau addressed the nation on Tuesday to announce the mobilization of the Canadian Armed Forces against Poland, which he intends to invade and annex as part of the Canadian Empire.

"Oppressing our truckers has given me an insatiable taste for power," said Trudeau. "So I'm directing our generals to strike Poland since it worked out so well for Germany."

The foreign office has confirmed troops are already assembling at the Polish/Ukrainian border in preparation for a land invasion. Putin has reportedly become spooked by Trudeau's sudden imperialist agenda and has ordered Russian troops to retreat.

According to sources, Putin held a virtual meeting with President Biden to discuss Trudeau's recent actions.

"Trudeau is a dictator," Putin allegedly told Biden. "Kind of makes me feel bad about the whole Ukraine thing, so I've decided to drop it."

Canadian troops are reportedly being equipped with rations of maple syrup and hockey sticks since Trudeau doesn't believe in guns or real food.

At publishing time, President Biden was happy to announce that he had single-handedly resolved the Ukrainian crisis as Canada annexed Poland.

 

[mr.moon1488]

They could have easily faked it of course, but it's kind of a moot point since there have been fairly regular attacks by Ukraine in the Donbass region anyway.

 

[quaawaa]

Well that's convenient and totally legit.

Ukrainians did the same thing a couple of days ago with “found” orders claiming the Russians were behind schedule. Guess the Russian shills didn’t want the Ukrainians to have all the fun.

Seriously, who believes this crap?

 

[Iwasamwillbe]

Drugs are absolutely cool at the Olympics if you are from the right country and get a doctor to just invent some medical condition or a phantom injury for you.

Unironically, yes.

You could ask the same question of Iraq, Jordan or any of the ME states drawn up by Sykes-Picot.

The funniest thing is how quickly those peoples ultimately accepted borders (if not necessarily categorizations; I'm pretty sure "Syrian" and "Iraqi" were things long before the colonial era, even if "Jordanian" certainly wasn't) effectively imposed on them by colonial map-drawers.

At least Ukraine had more "natural" borders given to it by centuries of Russian state fiat.

I swear to god every single town, city and military stronghold in Ukraine has been completely surrounded by Russian forces at least 3 times, at this point the Russians are just parking around the city perimeter, going back home to sleep and then coming back to continue doing jackshit

 

[Rezza]

Serious answer: I think Ukraine will still put up a fight, but losing the capital is a major blow to morale

This is going to depen on how the reactions of the Ukrainian will be. Sure, they could lose hope, but at the same time there's still a chance this will fan their desire to fight even further

As an example, during my country's revolution for Independence, we lost our capital twice and even had most of the government captured. But the military under the temporary government continues to fight a guerilla war since the European enemy couldn't control the villages and countryside. It proved effective enough we could stage a big offensive to retook the capital

So while this thread is circling the wheels until another BIG HAPPENING occurs, I'm going to just go off and state that while Russia is going to break off huge chunks of Ukraine, it's going to be extremely costly for them, even with Chinese help. Because people are going to see what China is doing to aid Russia, and all that anti-Russia hysteria might just start bleeding into anti-China sentiment as well. China is, in all likelihood, going to start taking sanctions up the ass for helping Russia.

To play devil's advocate, it's to make sure that Russia doesn't use the bio-research to make the next COVID.

As much as people, especially here, like to hypen up the Sino-Russia alliance, I'm not seeing the alliance will go for that long or as smoothly as people expected. China is unreliable as an ally, they will screw with you first before helping, and most of the time its unsatisfactory. That's the way they did business, after all. So yes, I'm not thinking this alliance will be as big as people hype it up to be. As soon as China found the risk is greater than the profit, they will dropped Russia harder than nuke

Like Russia would attack NATO convoys anyway. Idiot.

I read that as a diplomatic-speak that essentially just said to the Russian "We're going transport anything that we want, and there nothing you can do about it less you want war with NATO". Considering this came after Pentagon refusing to deliver the Migs from Ramstein with American pilots, I think this is what it refers to

Holy kek, these Russian missiles can't hit runways at all, they threw a ton of missiles at an airport in K(y)iev about a week ago and had the same thing happen to them. https://twitter.com/ckoettl/status/1501313942144040963

Isn't this the airport that they say are "completely destroyed"? Yes, even the MSM said it

Yeah, yeah, it's the Propaganda Independent. But I'm pretty sure this is being done to solve that whole "The foreign legion won't be POWs because they are mercs" issue.

Huh, I wonder if Russia is going to do the same for the Wagner Group troops as well

They're really desperate for justification, I wonder what they will came up with next. Assassination order for Putin? Final Solution for all Russian?

Welcome to the Fog Of War, where there's a shit ton of intentional misinformation to try and hurt enemy morale. I remember everyone was saying Kharkiv fell like a week ago because a couple Russian vehicles got inside the city.

Nah it's just a small detachment going up there. Main unit is STILL tied up in Mariupol.

I remember that in WWI, a German Prince was claimed to be dead, wounded, dead, captured, and dead again all in a single week

Gotta admit, Yeltsin had the best shit-eating grin of any leader in modern history. It's funnier the longer you look at it. Dude knew his liver looked like a pickled herring but just kept grinning.
