Russian Invasion of Ukraine Megathread

[God of Nothing]

The Japanese unironically fought a race war. They believed the imperial line was the oldest surviving in the world and therefore their nation was the rightful ruler over all others. In addition, they believed that blood of Yamato was blessed by the sun goddess Amaterasu and superior to all others.

The Japs were fighting based on an even more extreme racial ideology than the Germans were.

I think maybe European education lags here. Understandable considering that Euros didn't really participate in the Pacific Theater.

The right mongrel mix reigns supreme, foolish almost-koreans.
That is why Russia will win this war, hilariously enough. They have a lot of mutts to throw at the enemy. Ukraine has immigrants, but they're too busy trying to get out of the country to breed an army in time.

So throw the mutts and the purebreds will create the next generation? Russia really is becoming /pol/‘s country.

I honest think the propaganda war is going to fail, I mean canceling cats? Russians as a people? Tchaikovsky? People threatening Americans of Russian descent? Social media deleting Russian accounts and allowing hate speech, not to mention boosting literal self declared Nazis? Renaming foods, it's fucking cray. Social media can disappear tomorrow for all care but jfc its overkill and then some.

I think it's less about the punishment or the victims than it is about the punishers signaling their tribal affiliation to everyone else.

What a shit show. Polish people are kinda like wtf. So Kamala Harris was in Warsaw and she cackled during the press conference when asked about the refugees.

And that fag Trudeau was also here, came to have some pictures taken with the refugees and was pretending to cry at some point when the cameras were clicking.

In all honesty with 2+ years of disinformation, misinformation and fabrications, good luck. Hit up the original Wuhan Coronavirus thread from around March 2020, some pretty interesting and damning links there.

Basically a bio lab, US funded or maybe not, was doing sketchy shit to viruses and testing them on pigs. Corrupt chinks sold the live pigs at the wet market instead of incinerating them.

This is the theory I've heard and sounds most believable, but there's a world of difference between a lab leak and a bioweapon development. Chinese ineptitude and corruption is also much more believable than government conspiracy.
It'll be interesting to see what Russia has to say on Friday, but I'm really not holding my breath. It sounds like they're trying hard to fabricate benefit of the doubt for themselves and this invasion because of how bad the economic sanctions have been. I imagine they're hoping that they can cook up a justification for increased aggression and just get this over with so they can do damage control at home.

Completely culturally tone deaf, jesus christ. That would be an okay response at a bay area board meeting or something but it will not come across as anything other than unhinged in europe.

In what sense? Gain-of-function research that adds novel infection methods to a human disease seems to have all the characteristics of bioweapon development.

One can claim that it wasn't intended to be used as such, but that still doesn't mean it's a "world of difference". It's a very slight semantic difference, in fact.

My boy caught sight of a Russian Blue the other day. He doesn't know if he should chase it or play with it, or both. I don't think my boy watches cable.

The invading kitty now has air superiority. Some how he got on top of my pool cage. He was really unimpressed when I went out to yell at him to get down. I think I'm lucky I didnt get peed on.
And by yell I mean saying "hey" in a normal voice. I'd never yell at a cat. I really hope he doesn't fall thru

Especially that most European press doesn't seem to be familiar with that fact her laughing is pathological. They will just think she's an insensitive classless retard. Which she is.

OK, I know you are right about that but Russians in the US, citizens, long time residents. their children, are going to be targeted. An Armenian business owner in San Diego was harassed because someone assumed he was Russian. Not in a flyover state but the bastion of tolerance and woke, California.

America was found in part to get away from European wars, now our feckless overlords have decided to make us a part of that, again, and Americans are going to suffer.

Any study of infectious disease carries the risk of a leak. By far most study of infectious disease are not for weapons purposes. You never even backed up your original claim.
If covid was manufactured there would be biological evidence of the fact that can't just be "covered up," which is why I'm interested in what Russia has to back up their claims about biolabs in Ukraine. Bioweapons have the potential to be more dangerous than nuclear ones because while you can't exactly silently deploy a nuke, but you can certainly do so with a disease.

If something like this can fly over mid ranges in any sort of road then it means a 1.2 million dollar drone can do tens of millions of damage to a enemy convoy.

We (meaning the U.S. and probably some other countries) don't even need to use $1.2 million drones. There are now disposable one-use drones where the drone itself carries the payload, rather than carrying a missile, and the operator of the UAV simply kamikazes whatever is the target. They're a lot cheaper too.

And there is. I'm no geneticist, but many reputable people in the field have said that SARS-CoV-2's genes are implausible to have come about by natural means. There's, in fact, much talk that the omicron variant itself was genetically modified and not a natural mutation of the original virus.

By far most study of infectious disease are not for weapons purposes.

Absolutely, but risky research on dangerous disease uses effectively the same methodology as bioweapon development. The intention is the only difference and that can obfuscated quite easily.

Only if we get some kick ass 80s music as well. Otherwise it's a no go.

Have I got news for you then!

Ukies who are supposedly Azovs (hence "Banderites" in the desc) block Orthodox Christians from entering a church. Location unknown (link).

Seems like they're trying to find a Russian agent among the crowd, since the people are being lined up, and as that's happening I hear a lot of "Rusiya" and "Russki"

Tried finding this video on Twit by using "Orthodox" keyword and setting "min_faves" to 10, then going on the latest posts. Didn't find it, but I did see this:

When ever anyone asks for a source, the correct response always is "Clean the shit out of your eyes" and leave it at that.

No further evidence is needed and would be wasted on such an individual in the first place.

Regarding this bioweapon shit here's a 2012 source. The question becomes does collaboration on preventing the spread about knowledge of biological weapons imply collaboration on biological weapons? Perhaps not.

My 2 girl cats and 2 boy cats are divided about the Russian Blue. The girls flirt with him and the boys are on the defensive. Blue is just walking around outside, provoking them. Typical vatnik cat.

So the Russian have dispersing and redeploying themselves near Kyiv, most likely to regroup and resupply, the same company that gave us the "40 Miles Convoy" just released some satellite photos. I'm kind of busy right now, but I'll post the pics later, unless someone else is willing to

And you don't have a source for this either or what? I have heard the exact opposite.
The evidence for it being manufactured are mostly circumstantial- it's infectious qualities are just as likely to have originated naturally and there are no biological traits that suggest outright human manipulation.
The idea that "actually the omicron variant was manufactured" is a moving of the goalposts more than anything. I'd like to see the proof.

The Armenians first mistake was doing business in California.

Though I am interested in the race of who harassed him, since it can't be the niggers, they hate all whites and currently beating up Ding Dongs for the lulz.

Armenians are a very rich or well off lot so its interesting over what retards harassed him.
