Russian Invasion of Ukraine Megathread

[Animewasamistake]

Why are the bongs salivating at the prospect of dragging everyone into yet another world war?

Anything to distract from COVID. the narrative changed from "we are all going to die" to "just a flu bro" overnight. and this kind of posturing, as nonsensical as it is. is a distraction from people losing nearly 3 years of their lives.

That'll show that Tchaikovsky what he gets for being Russian!

Maybe Tchaikovsky has actually been alive all along and is orchestrating all of this from behind the scenes with Putin merely being his straw man.

The analog horror plot of this war thickens.

xi and the ccp are realists while western leaders are fanatic idealists.
with realists you can work, you can make deals. with fanatics it's like trying to talk to a brick wall.

Xi and the CCP are fanatic idealists.
For evidence I present to you the country of China, which they govern.

I wounder how recent this change was?

Assuming this is Google maps, like 2019. The U.S. federal government officially started recognizing it as "Kyiv" around then.
I actually don't mind if they want to change the name, but it is fucking annoying when people who can't locate Ukraine on a map 'correct' you.

Another poster in the thread mentioned it, but I'd love to know what the hell caused the immense hatred and enimity the elite of Germany have for Russia still up until the current year. It's so bizarre in light of the "special relationship" they have with Israel and also even more pathetic to me considering Schroeder and Merkel signed away their energy to Russia which is really biting them in the ass.

german elite are all true believers in globohomo, they all fell for the 'peace love tolerance diversity' propaganda hook, line and sinker. meanwhile russia engages in cold and harsh realpolitik. this frustrates and enrages the moralfags in germany very much.

it's almost like the german ruling class made willfull naivety a great moral virtue, then when that blind naivety leads them to trip and fall, they don't consider that maybe blinding yourself was a dumb move, instead they get irrationally angry at whatever thing they tripped over, which in this case is russia.

Oh god, the response to these chain comments is just going to be a pain the ass, I'll just number them via your points, easier to follow and format, no slight intended on your response pal.

1: Yeah, Mariupol is getting the Grozny treatment at the moment, give this a look over: https://www.theguardian.com/world/2...tack-residential-maternity-childrens-hospital - that's before they've take the city, I imagine they're going to be doing more of the same, because lets be honest, it's likely going to work a charm, unlike their VDV deployment.

2; Can't pull a source out of the top of my head, but it's similar tactics to what they applied down in Syria, get the corridor going, shorten the time, block the exit, force the inside forces to try and help the outters get out, whilst at the same time, going gun-ho and attacking whilst everyone's focused on the buses leaving. - https://www.lbc.co.uk/news/russia-shell-attack-mariupol-ceasefire/ - LBC, tends to be more on the left of things politically, but their source for the claims are coming from the red cross, personally I'd take those guys at their word, but that's just me.

3: Syria perhaps is the most different in comparison, whereas Checenya is the little brother akin to this sort of invasion, only Russia is doing so much worse for some daft reason. You'd think being the second or third world power, they'd be stomping things down by now.

4: If not invade/breach the city, then at least encircling the bugger would be a sure sign of things going to plan, but instead, they've had a couple high rankers getting their brains blasted out on this front. Sure, again this could very well be down to their absolutely retarded idea to invade during mud season of all times, but still, they have a air force, they should be shelling the defenders along the columns roads if nothing else. Instead, they're losing ground and losing high ranked bodies.

5; Again, if nothing else, it's been one hell of a entertaining couple weeks. Reckon they're holding back their good lads, tanks and planes or do you see them continuing to slog it out with these twenty-plus year old relics they're fighting with?

I'm a bit disagreeing about their "good lads", they've sent VDV since day one of the war and we all know how their operations ended up, failures

Some saber rattling from China.

Bayraktar really proves their worth in this war. Once this invasion is over, countries are going to place order for some, I'm sure of it

RULE BRITANNIA

Here in Northern Ireland if you stop and talk to the police in the city you'll find out they're from the countryside or another city, this has been the standard since the police had a habit of spontaneous combustion.

In a country where the police are nationalized/federalized, I think this is the case. Pretty sure my country also did the same for our police force

If Xi tries to take Taiwan via military rather than the slow political subversion they've been good at then they're just a different brand of fanatical idealists.

One of the reasons why Xi pushed for the military conquest is that he has to show immediate proof that he deserves to be called an equal to Mao and Deng. Don't forget he still has lots of enemies inside the CCP. Also like Russia, China's population crisis also don't give Xi amd CCP that much time to achieve their dream of taking Taiwan

Fun fact xi is the youngest of the big three world powers at 68 years old meanwhile Biden is 79 , another fun fact neural plasticity decreases with age and the likelihood of degenerative disorders and diseases increase with age.

It actually proved its worth two years ago in second Nagorno-Karabakh war but no one gave a shit.

 

[The Ugly One]

Zelenskkky should have taken that deal Putin gave a while ago where he'd still be head of state. I think he realized too late that the West isn't going to help.

Seems like every Third World leader doesn't get it through his head until his bunker is collapsing around him that the assurances of American politicians mean absolutely nothing.

 

[Animewasamistake]

So i know a few people here are onboard the "derpy VDV" train so i thought i would clear some things up.

1, Hostomel airport was never captured by Ukrainian forces. every single one of the "Ukrop forces have retaken the airport xd" was total bullshit.

2, the dead BMDs and soldiers came from attempted breakouts towards friendly lines. if you examine the photos and footage it is no more than a company. to me it looks like they attempted to link up with the advancing friendlies and got their lead column mashed by ukrops

3, the other drops have 0 real info on them and as usual the only narrative at the moment is the ukrops going "we have killed 9 billion VDV" a good example of this complete nonsense is the early reporting of 2 transports full of men being shotdown. this was confirmed by a us official only for a few days to pass and it turns out it was complete bullshit.

4, this brings me to something that i am coming to rapidly hate, just because a US official, whatever that means. says something is true and honest means nothing. they have no reason to tell the truth. and every reason to lie.

 

[Rezza]

Yeah, sadly no one gave a shit about that war, even though that was the moment drones became an irreplaceable part of modern warfaer. Turkish-Azerbaijani strategy of EW, mapping intelligence, and drone strikes is just so amazing and unbelievable its straight out of Ace Combat. At the very least with this war Bayraktar got the spolight that it deserves

maybe under mao they were, but not in current year. they're not even seriously pursuing communism anymore, modern age china is ruled by regular old chinese nationalism more than anything else, and as a state it behaves in a very rational way, exactly like a rising great power is expected to behave (trying to increase its own wealth and power)

for contrast, western nations are not behaving in a rational way because they are not trying to increase their own wealth and power, to the contrary, they are actively working to diminish themselves in the name of their chosen ideology. that's why i called china realists and westerners idalists.

 

[Coccxys]

Seems like every Third World leader doesn't get it through his head until his bunker is collapsing around him that the assurances of American politicians mean absolutely nothing.

They're usually only sat in their position through American glowies in the first place. It makes their options agree to what the other side want and probably lose your presidency for the next one to tear the agreement up or play tough, hope you survive the war and then get rich skimming off the top of all of the international aid for rebuilding the rubble.

Turkish drones are awesome, and I assume a lot more affordable than the gold-plated Northrop Grumman equivalents.

When I finally make Big Boss' dream of Outer Heaven come true I'm gonna order like 50 of them.

 

[Lone MacReady]

"german" elite are all true believers in globohomo, they push 'peace love tolerance diversity' propaganda. meanwhile russia engages in cold and harsh realpolitik. this frustrates and enrages the moralfags in germany very much.

FIFY.
