Nazis fighting in Ukraine you say? But for which side? In 2014 the answer might have surprised you.

By the way, here's the flag of your boyz:

Here is the shoulder patch of the US 45th Infantry Division. What do I win?

Yeah, we know about the Russian far-right. We also know a Wagner PMC commander has SS tattoos. It's only you who seems to have an allergy to admitting they exist.

"Russian National Unity is infamous for its attacks on ethnic minorities in Russia and two of its purported former members have been jailed in connection with the 2009 killings of human rights lawyer Stanislav Markelov and journalist Anastasia Baburova."

"Moreover, extremist volunteers have not always received a warm welcome from separatists in Ukraine."

This tard should have joined the Ukis. They'd be selling t-shirts with his scribblings on amazon right now. : / (not to mention all the US weapons his fat trans-Aryan arms could carry)

It's all a show. Zelenskyy is running a three ring circus in the media to keep pressure on waffling western governments and rally the moral of his country. And he's proving exceedingly good at it. Nothing concrete will come of it, but that is not really what he is trying to do. Every day he's out there doing his song and dance routine is another day Russia has failed to win. And that in the end is a win for Ukraine.

Russias victory condition is overthrowing Zelenskyy. Ukraines victory condition is avoiding that outcome.

It’s not a win for Ukraine it’s a win for Zelensky and America. Ukraine just loses more blood and infrastructure the longer this goes on.

Ukraine’s “victory” condition is quite literally nuclear war at this point.

I know you guys are slightly stupid, so allow me to explain. The Swastika was a common, or at least utilized symbol before those bad guys in Germany took it over. Which is why most stopped using it, including the 45th. The Fins even used it after the war, which I'm sure means they're on your list too, fag.

I don't know if the discriminatory behaviour of the Ukrainian government is the main reason for this war (it probably isn't).
It's still a thing that Russians can agree on is bad, mkay.
So even if Russia only invaded to deter Zelensky from being a stupid faggot and taking back Crimea (and Donbas which his government doesn't want to legitimize as autonomous, against the agreement they themselves have signed), it might be a good idea to get the ideas of limiting official languages used in Ukraine to only Ukrainian etc. out of their heads as well.
Stop making this about Putinbros and Ukraine supporters, there are way too many strings attached here.
Think about how Zelensky's government came to be in the first place. Rioting after Ukraine wanted more time on their decision to either be pro-EU or pro-Russia with their trade agreement (depicted as pressure from Russia, even though EU's Barroso said they have to decide either-or), then the government gets overthrown. Shocking, I know.
Then the whole NATO to close to Russia affair, Zelensky openly wanting to take Crimea back, not following the Minsk agreement, also helping ethnic Russians is good for the ratings.
Another thing to consider: If you run risk of being sanctioned into the ground for having another war over Crimea/Donbas, why not go all the way and fuck the Ukrainian army up altogether? The result would be better in the long run.

Half the reason people like the Russians, or at least don't dislike them in this conflict, is the stupid propaganda of the Ukrainians.

NATO is doing great at cosplaying Britain and France in 1939. No-fly zone in Western Ukraine is literally free and very easy to implement (no need to destroy Russian SAMs). NATO planes are in the air 24/7, why not use them for something meaningful?
MUH NUCLEAR WAR argument is BS. US can send Ohios in Mediterranean and Trident II flight time to European Russia and Urals would be 5-6 minutes. Most of Russian nukes are there in silos, on the ground in more or less pre-determined areas or on RPKSNs parked in Barenz Sea bases (it's too expensive and dangerous to keep them at sea and they can't get anywhere close to US coast anyway). Bases of strategic bombers are also known. If the US strikes first, it can destroy 90% of all Russian nuclear forces before they can retaliate, and then there is anti-ICBM defences to deal with what's left. US will spend 100-150 Tridents on this (5-6 out of 14 SSBN Ohios) and will keep enough ICBMs to further deter China. No large cities/civilian infrastructure will be targeted which will reduce collateral damage.
Dreaded "Perimeter" system is a bluff created precisely because no chain of command can react in 5-6 minutes. It's important to make the opposing side believe that your ICBMs will launch automatically, when in fact there is always a human pressing the button. The best argument of it not existing is that numerous early warning system activations have never led to nuclear missiles being launched, human decision has always prevented it. And because the whole scenario of nuclear war is so unexpected, the reaction time would be longer (ensuring attacker's success).
Either NATO deals with Putin here and now, or it would have to deal with him later when Russia is recovered, decoupled from EU, allied with China and the West is even more dead and gay than now.

Nigga you retarded. Since you clearly haven't been paying attention to the thread, here's a post of mine that explicitly addresses your points:
BULLY HUNTER_77 said:
The US has been pouring resources into developing countermeasures against nukes but current capabilities aren't enough to offer any meaningful protection.

The engineering problem has best been summed up as "trying to block a bullet, using another bullet." While ICBMs are 1970s technology, they take roughly 30 minutes to reach their target from launch. The Reentry Vehicles travel at hypersonic velocity and can very cheaply/easily be loaded with chaff (e.g. fucking metal plates cheap/easy) that give off similar radar signatures during the critical minutes that a Reentry Vehicle can be shot down. This problem is an order of magnitude more difficult to deal with than the drones that are currently giving Russian and Saudi AA hell.

The silver lining is that the Russian nuclear arsenal has been known for years to have shit reliability (e.g. they drive out to a silos to discover it's completely flooded - where as a water leak in a US silo will be discovered within a week as we take Nuclear Surety very seriously). In theory, they compensate for worse reliability and accuracy with higher warhead yields but judging from their performance in the Ukraine, a significant number of their reentry vehicles will fail to hit their targets.

That being said, we still need to take the threat seriously. A single High-Altitude Electromagnetic Pulse (e.g. a single Nuke detonated in the upper atmosphere) is enough to knock out the entire electrical grid of the United States. This sort of attack is virtually unstoppable.

This means every bank account, stock exchange, crypo wallet, website, and any appliance plugged into the electrical grid gets immediately fried. We're talking trillions of dollars in damage if even one of their nukes gets off a national EMP. The only thing that's been preventing nuclear war for nearly a century is mutually assured destruction. Our nukes have massive Electoral Surge Arrestors that can withstand the pulse that will spread throughout the power grid and massive diesel generators and batteries that will give them enough power to give Russia the exact same treatment if they strike first.

tl;dr - Our countermeasures are shit, we don't have the capability to land a crippling 1st strike on them, and Russia only needs to land ~2 HEMP nukes to permanently kill the American economic empire. Retards like you are why we're closer to nuclear war than we've ever been during the height of the cold war.
