They might be spiteful but they can't meaningfully do shit except fire nukes and even the most alcohol-addled vatnik is cognizant enough to realize that if they do that, Russia will cease to exist. The West has technology for intercepting at the minimum SOME nukes and mitigating the damage, Russia has none.

And perhaps I'm not quite that psychopathic just yet but I don't think rooting for Russia to start gassing or nuking people because I hate having trannies on TV is a nice trade-off. I'll take the trannies personally and get rid of them some other way that doesn't involve endorsing another flavor of globohomo.

The problem is that if They get away with this they will be empowered to sanction any country that doesnt push tranny shit. It gives precedent for sanction Poland, Hungary for not being LGBT friendly enough. It Legitimizes sanction population till they get conscripted in your war and do your bidding. It means Big Stick in form of using Starvation and total Economic on anyone who opposes Globohomo. THIS MUST BACKFIRE OR SHIT WILL GET EVEN MORE FUCKED.
 
Only to a degree. America has invaded several countries in the last 20 years alone over flimsy and sometimes outright false casus bellis. It absolutely is an episode of Russia being punished over something the US wouldn't be over.
Cuba correlations are fucking retarded though lmao.
America has invaded countries on the other side of the world, killed literally millions of people there, and all the high minded European liberals either tutted in disapproval or actively participated. The idea that this relatively restrained invasion of Ukraine is some sort of unforgivable act to them is laughable.

I genuinely despise the dumb retards who fall for obvious propaganda bullshit when many of them lived through the WMD lies and their fallout.
 
Its not Europe, thats the Narrative they are trying to push to guilt people into caring more about niggers. If it was About Europe there would be bigger reaction about Yugoslavia.
That may or may not be the case, but to be honest with you I'm kinda tired of all the social media prostitutes with brain AIDS spamming blue and yellow hearts everywhere and claiming they even give a shit.

On the up side, sink or swim, rain or shine, whatever happens, this shit will all be forgotten in a month.
 
It's funny how civilians fight back against invaders, isn't it.

By the way, Russia bombs the shit out of random unarmed civvies too so it's not just "self-defense".
There's no way to avoid that aside from just not trying to take the city.
Russian strategy sounds like...
  1. Consolidate around city
  2. Besiege city
  3. Tell leadership to give up
  4. Shell it
  5. Open a humanitarian corridor and tell civilians to leave
  6. Shell it
  7. Demand surrender
  8. Repeat steps 5-7 for a bit and occasionally send troops in

I don't know if it's true or not but allegedly Ukrainian troops have not allowed civilians to leave Kharkhiv so yeah civilians are going to be killed. There's no time to assess who is going to kill you or not when you're in a city.
Much to Reddit Silver's chagrin I'll point out that the US has a similar policy of "Just fuck shit up" when it comes to urban combat, though they give a lot more warnings in advance to get out.
 
Ah yes, because nobody ever criticized Bush administartion. Or any administration after that. But even with this criticism, there are far better grounds to invade Iraq over Ukraine. Like Iraq was govern by Saddam Hussein, not exactly cool guy.
Yeah. Those millions of Iraqis deserved to be bombed, shot, starved, and even tortured to death over some lies in the New York Times.

This is the geopolitical thought of the average Ukraine shill.
 
You are missing the point that these foreign businesses do a lot to keep Russia's economy afloat. And now they are fucking off at record rates. People yap on about "but muh Russia can still sell gas and shit to China or something" assuming that Russia's entire economic model runs off selling oil and gas like they are Saudi Arabia or some shit. I wish there were English subs for this vid because the dude makes a pretty good point that this is industry being kneecapped and people losing jobs.


Just because Russians are used to living like hobos going all the way back to Tsarist times doesn't mean that they aren't increasingly in danger of becoming China's personal petrol station if this shit continues. At that point China gets stronger which is bad news for us but Russia is still fucked.
While I'd agree the companies leaving is a short-term blow to the Russian economy, nothing that has left couldn't be replaced with Russian entities over time which would really be better anyway. People forget that throughout most of history, international companies being allowed to hold a lion's share of commerce in a foreign country was unheard of. Tbh this sort of "LET'S GLOBALIZE EVERYTHING!" attitude to me at least seems to be another case of the post "enlightenment" world trying to combat the conventional wisdom of the old world such as mercantilism which does view trade as being a competitive sport. You mention China, but one of the reasons they've become a superpower to rival the US despite previous economic disasters is that they don't buy into this suicidal modern economic dogma and do treat trade as being competitive.
 
why of course, we'll let someone we don't know film us in a warzone! no way could you be a spotter for the enemy or anything, no sir!


urban combat really is a bitch. by this point the policy is probably "shoot first, ask questions later."


I have to say, the western media really is doing a marvelous performance of doublethink, where the Russians are simultaneously weak-ass pussies, that are fucked six ways from sunday, and literally the Soviet Union on steroids both at the same time. I suppose it'll give them an out either way - if they fail spectacularly and have to pull back, they'll say: "see? we told you our cancel culture would work! slava ukraini!" and if russia does prevail, despite a heavy cost, the western media will be: "OMG - this is the new iron courtain! what did we tell youuuu????"

Yeah there was a bad Yuri video today from Mariupol, tank vs apartment building. It seemed like the beginning was cut off, probably a miss with an ATGM, but Yuri definitely shot the shit out of that apartment building in retaliation. I suck at archiving but search for tank vs apartment building and you can get the video.

The Hohol Shill drops his mask and reveals he was Bill Kristol all along. The US waged a more indiscriminate war in Iraq and then occupied it because it didn't really like Saddam and he allegedly had WMD. Saddam had no air force and lived 6000km away. Russia invaded a country directly on its border which had both its guarantor, the US and its own politicians talk about how they were there to counter Russia and threatened its only warmwater port and had in its constitution the goal to join NATO which would've allowed US missiles to border Russia. A country with a military that we can see now is already a roadblock for the Russian army and would only have become more so over time.
 
Oh, cool now I am shill!

This is what you say as you lose any arguments? :story: I still fail to see similarities between Iraq and Ukraine, beyond that they are both coutries and have flag.
No, you do it for free because of your low IQ which is worse because you represent the alarming amount of mouthbreathing retards in both the US and over here who went from being against involvement to wanting nuclear war in the span of two weeks.

Even if it does backfire, that will do absolutely zero to stop Western globohomo from fucking over its own citizens and EU countries like Hungary anyway since the situations are completely different. Meanwhile it will empower Eastern globohomo to try that shit in their own way - just ask any of Russia and China's client states how they abuse economic leverage to fuck them over. You are not thinking this through, especially since if Russia pushes through anyway, this will merely add fuel to the "Cold War 2.0" shebang and distractions from the Great Depression 2.0 looming in the distance.

Man, two post ago you said that young Ukrainians fleeing to west is capital escape. I don't think you understand what capital means, so don't lecture me about IQ.

Oh, I'm aware that the US and Russia both have a "bombs away" approach. Part of the reason why Syria looks like a WW2-tier hellhole is because when combating ISIS, pretty much all coalition forces preferred to do airstrikes with Turkey being the only one to launch a conventional offensive and immediately regretting it when ISIS pulled the same strategy that Ukraine does now and smoked their tanks with ATGMs. As you may have guessed, my approach is that Russia shouldn't have launched this dumbass invasion in the first place. You can debate Crimea, you can even debate Donbas, you can't really debate the current debacle aside from "cut your losses and GTFO already". Russia has pissed away almost all of their political gains of the past decade with this shit.

You're free to address the crux of my argument at any time, faggot. But like anyone with nothing to say you'll engage in definitional retardation without addressing the core point and then fuck off from the thread.
 
Saddam Husein was like a dove. Never did anything wrong.

No one is saying that, but it's pretty damn hypocritical for the US to take some high horse stance against Russia considering what we did to Iraq, over complete lies invented by the MIC and the media. And we were damn close to doing the same thing in Iran, those war drums were beating very hard, fortunately it never happened.

That is implying they would be able to fund such things which right now looks doubtful. They will have too little money coming into to fund things like that especially if this war turns out to be a long term affair and unlikely they will be able to get any loans with their current inability to pay them back
