Russian Invasion of Ukraine Megathread

[JoseRaulChupacabra]

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.

Maybe all these Russian excursions are testing artillery pieces to have one that sounds just right for the 1812 overture.

Duckduckgo is so shit and yet everywhere you turn it has cheerleaders. I am convinced it's a glowop.

I think Wendell from Level1Techs p much summed it up - it's just Bing search and sources a lot in the same way, and as such it can be tracked in the same way. but because some retarded youtubers cheered for its underdog status, when it got into a spat with Google, it's become literally Jesus and can do no wrong...much like Ukraine vs Russia right now lol, so I'm unsurprised the grifter that made it is cheering for Ukraine propaganda.

 

[Welsh Catgirl Enjoyer]

It might just be me, but I wonder how many of the woke individuals will look back on what they're saying now fondly. Some of it is definitely starting to seem less like being opposed to Russia based on their current actions, and more like blatant racism in places.

I can get why payment processors are dropping Russia. I can even get the collateral damage that's going to have (a lot Russians who don't support the invasion are inevitably suffer as they're blacklisted from everything because their government decided to be retarded for a bit). But it seems to me that perhaps it's going a step too far in cases where something right now is getting cancelled if it is or has ever had any connection to any russian person ever.

I think a lot of them have gotten swept up in the wave of current events and pointed their hate not just towards Russia as a government and state, but towards Russians as an ethnicity. We'll see how that ages.

the dead BMDs

Nobody asked But I have a feeling that many Pro-Ukranian smug posters gloating over muh gorillion vehicle losses have absolutely no Idea just what a BMD is. The BMD or as it is known by its full name Boyevaya Mashina Desanta (Боевая Машина Десанта, which literally translates to "Combat Vehicle of the Airborne") is an air droppable series of Armored Vehicles. In order to be carried in planes the vehicle must be light weight, and in order to be light weight the vehicle armor is fucking ALUMINUM. That's right, Aluminum.

Armor Stats for the BMD-1 Armored vehicle
welded aluminium alloy
26–33 mm gun mantlet
23 mm at 42° turret front
19 mm at 36° turret side
13 mm at 30° turret rear
6 mm turret top
15 mm at 78° upper hull front
15 mm at 50° lower hull front
10 mm rest of the hull
Armor stats for the BMD-2 Armored Vehicle
Welded aluminium alloy
7 mm turret
15 mm at 78° upper hull front
15 mm at 50° lower hull front
10 mm rest of the hull

Specific numbers are not available for the BMD-3 or 4 models but their hulls are still made out of Aluminum.
What I am getting at here is that gloating about knocking out what is for all intents and purposes an unarmored vehicle makes you look retarded, which nearly all Ukraine supporters are.

Interesting if true.

The pro-Russian bent is quite unmistakable, but it is interesting to see what passes for propaganda there.

We'll see whose version is closer to the truth in two weeks.

They wouldn't be woke if they were capable of such thoughts.

Hell, half of them are various flavor of sociopath who realized the best way to get power over others is to pretend to be woke.

That’s the main problem with mobs we have seen it time and time again in recent years any amount of real blood will have them rip up floor boards and torch houses to find another target.

 

[Kramer on the phone]

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 the US its the same thing, you don't need to murder cops to make sure no local wants to be one, but thats because its cheaper and safer outside of the city. even NYC, most cops are front one island. beyond that if you do work in the place you live you're 10000% more likely to be corrupt..

So from the more normie side of the internet, the US should go and help fight Russia because “think of the children”

That "for the children" routine is old.
Now its
"They're coming to kill the gays"

Targets are likely to include dissidents from Russia and Belarus who are living in Ukraine, journalists, anti-corruption activists, and “vulnerable populations such as religious and ethnic minorities and LGBTQI+ persons,” reads the letter signed by Bathsheba Nell Crocker, the U.S. ambassador to the United Nations office in Geneva.

Imagine being some poor Russian businessman who had strong ties to Ukraine and loved the people there and now your shits all fucked because 2 gay Jewish manlets want to flex on eachother.

Considering it's from a supposedly current Russian soldier it definitely should have that bent. It reads closer to the events and maps we have then any Ukrainian propaganda I've seen. The Russians at least are consistent which either means they have a better propaganda or they are telling something that resembles the truth.

We will see if in two weeks or so. I imagine this will be over around then if not sooner. It looks like the Zelensky is going to get the civilian casualties he wanted.

When the sentiment changes, they'll just start to believe they were against the mob mentality from the start and heroically stood up for Russians and their rights.

The great thing about having no principles is that you can retroactively decide you were in the right on every single event and never have to learn anything.

Ugly but not unexpected tbh. The situation was way past the point of no return anyway.

As i said before in the other thread. its like a switch has been thrown. we will wake up one day to russian lives matter and #Putinhero or some shit. if they can change from nearly a decade of bash the fash to "i love azov" overnight nothing less would surprise me

You wonder? I don’t. The answer is simple. They won’t.

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.

Germany hates Russia because EU = Viertes reich, and Russia has always refused to kiss the ring.

The truth lies in between mainly because you can only ride the roller coster of fashionable politics so long before you fall off and become another JK or old liberal wondering where the party went .

Well, I expect other countries in Europe to join soon. I have noticed that some people really want to start witch hunts. I get why some people hold these views due to our history with Russia but it's starting to look like the end of the world war and expulsion of German population. I'm exaggerating, but the rhetoric from some people is really crazy and won't lead to anything good.
