Russian Invasion of Ukraine Megathread

It's still cringe af, like almost anyone who references that movie.

I mean, yeah, you aren't wrong at all. It fills one with trepidation to to mention the movie in a good light with all the cringe-filled faggotry of the fans of it. But isn't that most fanbases, just cringe filled faggotry?

 

[DumbDude42]

This is absurd.

Your argument for no EU army is that it will be used as a tool of tyranny against their own people is that the only thing stopping the current armies they do have from doing this...is...what exactly?

france sends french security forces to suppress french anti govt, protestors, there's only so much they will do. plenty of cases where police joined with anti govt protestors and let them do their thing to a certain extend.
but replace those local french security forces with a bunch of foreigners who come from some place 1000 miles away, dont speak french, dont know any french people, dont give a single fuck about the french or france or whatever the fuck, now none of that exists at all. no restraint, no ties to the land, just a soulless foreign occupying force free to brutalize the locals at their overlords command.

plus, again, theres the situation where brussels would use it to crack down on dissident countries or governments. they're already turbo seething about poland firing some commie judges and hungary building border fences against refugees, but for now they can't do very much about it because the only instrument of power they have available is bureaucracy which is notoriously slow. but give them an army and they'll handle poland/hungary like the ussr handled hungary and czechoslovakia 50 years ago.

The reason missiles got past the Iron Dome was because 1. things never work as advertised in the brochure and 2. at one point Israelis decided that intercepting every single rocket was a waste so they started prioritizing.

Monitoring disease in animals is exactly how one would be on the lookout for gain of function candidates.

Also don't forget to rate this post informative otherwise the US will build BSL-4 labs in your neighborhood while you sleep.

Back before Zelensky became president, he was a comedian in a troupe named Quarter 95 (95 Квартал) and one of their acts was a parody of "Love", a song by Ukrainian group KAZAKY and it's really faggot:

So, two questions:
1. Ukrainians, what do you think about having a crossdressing homosexual as a president?
2. Non-Ukrainians who support Ukraine, what do you think about supporting a fag?

On the mcdonald's stuff, what's to stop the russian ones from just saying fuck it and keeping open, would it be hard for them to locally source almost everything? I can't see Mcdonalds shit meat being sent from thousands of miles away, right?
Hell if anything it would be like the fanta stuff in germany, just rebrand and make your own stuff.

It's really entertaining seeing people think they're doing this as part of a boycott of Russia, nah, they're just seeing the writing on the wall that Russia won't have an economy anymore within a couple months. Their emergency reserve they hyped up so much has been frozen or is all being expended on a war that wasn't supposed to be measured in weeks.

 

[Toasted Midnights in June]

I don't wanna be a dick but you clearly have no idea how fucking dangerous that site still is. Scientists still believe it has the capability to start a meltdown again, which would be just as bad if not worse than the 1986 incident. They didn't remove anything, they literally cooled it and then covered it up with shit -- which they later had to upgrade to even more protection to keep the 'isotopes have decayed away' from leaking out and causing even more issues. Even more recently, they have been talking about needing another multi-billion dollar project to cover the site.

It's not going to spontaneously blow up and I don't think anyone will sabotage the shit intentionally. It is however a very real threat, and as it doesn't have power at the moment, they got backup power but it does need special attention as the consequences are dire.

It's the Elephant's Foot. As much as the surrounding areas and Pripyat and even the Red Forest have drastically dropped in overall radiation, Reactor 4 has increased in almost equal measure such that speculation suggests the spread radiation is returning to the source and has the potential for an inevitable catastrophic event. This is why they built the Sarcophagus.

They’ll probably do it, to some extent. Autarchy is a big challenge but Russia may be able to pull it off, at least partially, just out of sheer size.

On second look, the whole video seems goofy and fake. The bomb is laying perfectly flat on the ground all exposed and out in the open. But there is dirt on the front of it as if it had been buried in the ground previously or someplace else. I would guess that this was either bomb disposal training or a couple guys trying to show how brave they were by removing the fuse from an already dead bomb.

Not uncommon for duds to lay sideways.

If a chemical attack does take place, especially (and most likely) among a civilian population, I'll be surprised if NATO doesn't use that as an excuse for a No Fly Zone, threat of nuclear war be damned.

Thatsthejoke.jpg

NATO has reiterated time and again that a no fly zone is off the table. Hospitals being bombed didn't change that, a gas attack probably wouldn't either. Politicians are betting on the attention spans of westerners being too short for it to develop into a major issue.

It's only off the table for as long as they keep it off the table. Zelensky and his Western sponsors aren't continuing to sell no fly zone as a punch line. They think they have a chance to get the other policy makers on board. We're still flooding a warzone with weapons, and politicians are starting to run out of ways to escalate the sanctions, so they probably sense they're pushing on a semi-open door here.

This goes without mentioning that nuclear bombs require around-the-clock maintenance to stay in working condition, and we all know from the shredded tires on their trucks what the quality of maintenance

Judging their nuclear forces by their least favorite army battalions' tyre trucks is a mistake.

The Soviet Union was always a retarded shithole where conscripts had to forage for toilet paper, but they lavished money and talent and attention on their space and missile programs, and while they were never as technically sophisticated as the US, their stuff did actually work.

Russia probably has a similar sense of priorities, given how important the atomic e-peen is to their strategy and national pride, and how mad they still are at US anti-missile efforts. And they do have all three legs of the triad, so there's a lot of redundancy built in to their ability to make Terminator 2: Judgement Day real.

Let's not find out, because betting on Stanislav Petrov rising from the grave to save us all a second time is risky. If Russia feels sufficiently threatened, they will launch nuclear weapons. Maybe "tactical" ones to start, but then there's no plausible way to deescalate.

All McDonald's try to use in-country suppliers for their meat and potatoes. I think maybe only Japan has to import. It's to ensure a consistent product within a geographic region. McDonalds absolutely has to taste the same everywhere you go.

That is the most likely outcome and the reason why McDonalds is keeping them on the payroll for now. The whole thing will be spun out and stay open. And with the sanctions, its not anyone in Russia has anything to lose over trademark infringment.

Okay, now I'm fucking mad:

Top lawmakers reach deal on Ukraine aid, $1.5T spending​

Congressional leaders reached a bipartisan deal early Wednesday providing $13.6 billion to help Ukraine and European allies plus billions more to battle the pandemic as part of an overdue $1.5 trillion measure financing federal agencies for the rest of this year.

I don't give a shit about this conflict, but giving these worthless fucks out money is where I draw the line. Our country is falling apart and these worthless cunts are getting MY money. Anyone that votes for an incumbent at this point is subhuman. I don't care if that's 'a drop in the bucket' that's our fucking money. Only cope I can think of is that it's not going to giving kids tranny drugs.

“War in Europe has focused the energies of Congress to getting something done and getting it done fast,” said Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y.
