Russian Invasion of Ukraine Megathread

[Strix454]

Has anyone seen any online diaries by foreign fighters in Ukraine? I've been looking around for a while, but have not seen any. It seems like obvious propaganda to talk alot about these guys but all I see is recruiting stories about how great it is to sign up.

I have no idea how valid this map is but it's the newest one that I am aware of, although the info used to generate this map would probably be from the late 90's or early 2000's.

what are these three places in the middle of nowhere that get targeted so hard? big army bases or something?

 

[B_mizz]

Ah the MUH CUBAAAA!!! argument. Even when the missiles came, they didn't fucking invade, hell they didn't even have the balls to support the exiles who DID invade a few years prior. And that was never the fucking question, the question was about would the US have the right to invade Mexico if they joined in a security agreement with China. The answer is fucking NO! All time time the same weak shit. And yeah, the Cuba fuck up had a lot to do with the US fucking up diplomacy in the area.

But none of that fucking matters because Ukraine doesn't have nukes, won't have nukes. AND FUCKING HAD NUKES and gave them up under the goddamed agreement that Russia wouldn't fucking invade them, and the US would have their back. They were dumbasses for doing that, like most countries were who signed Non proliferation treaties, or disarmed.

Putin had zero reason to believe that the Ukraine would attack or that NATO would fucking invade at any point. He has NATO members on his border already and THEY don't have fucking nukes or ICBMs either. Putin wanted an excuse, he has an excuse, and a bunch of idiots who want to jump on his dick just to be contrarian and feel smart.

Yeah nothing about the drill nato and Ukraine just ran about retaking donbass? No reason to think at all.

Yeah. Big air forces bases for the most part. Air Force strategic bombers and missile facilities.

Rumor is most of them were staying at some hotel in Kharkov and Russia aced the place with cruise missiles.

GPS doesn't work like that. If someone is saying that kind of thing, they don't know what they are talking about.

Didn't the US do shit like that all the time, when the satellites were over a crisis region, where they were involved?
I can't find it right now, but I read that GPS was either blacked out or intentionally made very inaccurate over the warzones.
(Seeing as the satellites know damn well where they are, this seems not unlikely at all)

Name of the game?

Wargame: Red Dragon. Not bad vanilla, but multiplayer has been a hellhole ever since they added a blatantly overpowered Israel faction as DLC.

All of you retards thinking the west, or the world rather could fight a nuclear war and come out more or less unscathed please do us all a favor and drink some fucking bleach.

Democrat and neocon NPC's thirsting for blood with their leadership being reticent to get more directly involved reminds me of reading about the Red Guards becoming out of control much to the chagrin of Mao during the Chinese Cultural Revolution.

 

[Krokodil Overdose]

I've been wondering what's going to happen when this war finally ends. Presumably Ukraine (if it still exists) and Russia will make some kind of terms and officially close the book on the hostilities that began in 2014. So what does the US do then? Try to normalize relations, or turn into some weird Lost Cause Slava Ukraini LARP pushing territorial claims even the Ukies themselves have ceded?

 

[Iron Jaguar]

Nothing much. I'd rather be a prostitute than an influencer, a wage-cage or an esoteric entrepreneur.

They're the same thing, guy.

Who the fuck is this shit supposed to convince?

Seeing tortured dudes being forced to say things they obviously don't believe doesn't make me believe those things,

Agreed.

such as the Russian equipment all relying on US GPS Satellite's, which have cut them off

Is this actually true? - I would think it unlikely, given that the Russians saw the US do exactly the same thing to Saddam during Gulf War 1.
Still, military stupidity can never be underestimated.

 

[Narcotics]

Each day i swear a new politician/congressman/ex-whatever comes out and supports the idea of a no fly zone and burger intervention.

There was one motherfucker (can't remember who cuz they're all the same) in potatoe joe's tweet about "we will but we won't ww3" that said "we took em out in ww1 and ww2", Bitch everyone has nukes now, everyone can press the button and end it right there in an instant.
Just how war hungry these people are?

 

[H. Bergeron]

HISTORY MOTHERFUCKER DO YOU READ IT?!

Yes MOTHER FUCKER I DO! The Bay of Pigs was fucking exiles trained by the US, but sent on their fucking own to DIE because Cuba already knew the invasion was happening. They told the marines in Guantanomo to stay the fuck away and not provide support, and the only two planes that DID provide support had to disavow even being part of the United States before they did.

If you are talking 1898, then fuck off. Not the discussion we are having.

The Chickenhawk's bloodthirst is infinite right up until it's actually time to nut up and fight, then they do everything they can to scuttle away like cockroaches.

 

[Sexual Chocolate]

doesn't russia have its own constellation of satelites that provides GPS like services too?

Not just GLONASS, but even the cheapest smartphones can use the Chinese and European positioning satellites these days. I don't think the poor bastards Russia sent into Ukraine are super elite S+ ranked cyborg ninja soldiers or anything, but pretty sure they also have maps in case they run out of batteries.

Can't blame YouTubers for wanting to get those sweet, sweet Ukraine clicks while it's the biggest story on the planet, but I don't think anybody in the Western civilian population knows what's going on, and I doubt most people in Ukraine or Russia are much better informed. This is simultaneously the most documented, and most lied about war in history so far, and it's pretty easy to get the idea that Russia is losing somehow to Based Ukrainian Tractors and BDU'ed riflethots, given that all Russian media has been totally censored in the West, Ukrainian reports are less reliable than that kid you knew in school whose uncle worked at Nintendo, and Nato keeps claiming Russia is just about to do a horiffic false fag attack ANY MINUTE NOW YOU'LL SEE.

You'd think being blatantly lied to about the legend of Snake Island and the mysterious sudden acknowledgement of DoD's totally legit "veterinary laboratories" would cause at least some of these guys to ask questions, but nah

They just don't think it would happen. Remember the shock they still have from Trump winning? These people have spent their lives paying every problem out of their way and bullshitting to the top. 60 years of that lifestyle makes you anything but cautious.

 

[Oxous]

So you know how Russia said convoys carrying Western aid were legitimate military targets? I guess this is how the Ukrainians are distributing NLAWs now.

Well. What I personally know of recently is that alot of trouble with GPS in certain areas (Syria and Libya in particular) is/was caused by "spoofing" or "jamming" done from within those countries themselves. There has been a fair amount of investment in that sort of technology in recent years to cause problems for certain types of weapons systems.

There have been all kinds of unexplained outages in GPS all over the world. In particular in the Med. Sea area and around Cyprus for a long time. But they are always short-term.

 

[Kaede Did Nothing Wrong]

such as the Russian equipment all relying on US GPS Satellite's, which have cut them off, it would explain a lot. But also lead to a ton more questions.

lol idk about the other info but the twitter expert he shows a screencap of

has a lolcow thread here. he is a deranged sci-fi author from wisconsin who larps as an expert on every topic. youtuber should take his own advice and check sources.
