Russian Invasion of Ukraine Megathread

[SSJGPUAR]

And our Generals knew the score. The US and UK had plans on the books to bomb the shit out of Russia after the war.

Hope you're losing a lot of friends in this war sweetie

 

[Smity Werbenjagermanjensen]

Well, the poor sods on the ships off Odessa are definitely, fervently praying that their superiors know what they're doing.

We'll find out soon enough if it's another Gallipolli, or Incheon. (The former ends with a bevy of Russian generals executed, probably, the latter means somebody just got a nice fat promotion.)

With some luck if the former happens we might get a Russian version of The Band Played Waltzing Matilda.

Null, lock all russian and east euro IPs and known accounts into one thread and have it read only for everyone else.

We're farmers, nigger. We spray our own weeds.

On one hand I expect modern amphibious invasion by a superior army to not end in a hilarious meat-grinder. On the other, the idiots used paratroopers on the opening days of the invasion before any significant inroads or having air superioty over the region, so who knows really.

One thing to consider is that the Russians have no real experience with this type of landing. Most of their past amphibious operations were over rivers.

Didn't the Ukes mine the port of Odessa? Why would the Russians go there?

 

[H. Bergeron]

I agree with the sentiment, but the problem Russia faced wasn’t Ukraine literally allying with NATO, but moving outside of Russia’s immediate influence.

Russia clearly initially believed this would he a quick regime change operation (hence “Special Military Operation”) and not a recreation of the Gombe War

And Putin has been planning this since the puppet he wanted in office since 2004 was tossed on his ass. Crimea and Donbass weren't just stealing the majority of the Ukranian economy, they were flat out footholds that he could use for a future invasion, when everything lined up. Again, this is almost exactly what he did in Georgia.

Maidan was a CIA backed coup, for fuck's sakes John McCain was giving speeches to the crowd and Victoria Nuland was recorded talking about how to organize the government and who to put into power. You buy into this line that the Ukrainians are just these plucky underdogs who strive for democracy, the most popular political party in the country was banned. You're the one buying into horseshit and you do it because you're retarded.

Even if it was CIA-backed, you can't have a protest the size of Maidan if the people there doesn't share the same sentiment. You just can't

If enough people wishes it, and actually did something, you can threw down any government if you want. Hell, almost 30 years ago my people managed to topple down decades-old dictatorship because enough people went down to the street to protest. If people from a 3rd world country can do it, why couldn't the Europeans?

 

[MindYourSeabiscuits]

The troops in Odessa have been preparing for this moment for weeks. With a bit of luck, they could defens against the landing. If it does turn into another Gallipoli, that's going to be a severe blow for the Russians

You niggers are so retarded, Ukraine has been getting ass raped. The bulk of their army is completely surrounded, they are using civilians as human shields, they have no communication, units are just acting individually with no coordination, they are taking their foreign volunteers and pushing them to Kiev with no weapons or armor to just be used as cannon fodder and threatening to shoot them in the back of the head if they don't do it but you're still saying "THEY'VE BEEN PREPARING FOR THIS FOR WEEKS. THEY CAN DEFEND AGAINST THE LANDING GALLIPOLI 2022 GUYS!!!!".
When Zilenskiy is hanging from a lamppost and the Russian flag is flying over Kiev you faggots are going to be screaming "GUYS THIS IS HOW UKRAINE CAN STILL WIN!!!"

I remember a lot of the original Maidan protesters were dismayed and angry it was being coop-ted by outside forces. If the Maidan protesters could see it, I'm surprised you can not.

eta: You try that in the USA buddy, a bunch of boomers are locked up for their rowdy tailgate party in the Capitol.

 

[Madgneto Was Right]

Wonder how many people riding the Putin love train were screaming about how Trudeau was a fascist for the shit he pulled on the truckers? Because that was fucking peanuts compared to what happened to the Maiden protestors.

The idiotic cannucks, burgers and cucked euros who cried about fascist Trudeau but were creaming for Trump to do about the same a few years back but on a bigger scale. If there were some consistency it would be one thing, but people just love to use different measuring sticks. I stick to the rule that unless shit reaches Tienanmen square or Tlatelolco (the Mexican Tienamen) levels, then anything else is a slap on the wrist. For people who face real political and social repression in cucked countries such as Ukraine, it must be either hilarious or infuriating when spoiled burgers or cannucks cry for the oppression of their people by their own fascist black-face wearing leaders.

 

[Vesperus]

Damn, the Russkis really want their Gallipolli eh?

I hesitate to point this out, because it strikes me as retardedly obvious, but neither side in Gallipolli had air superiority, cruise missiles, anti-ship missiles, or fucking nukes.

You might as well say it's like the Normandy landings, if Hitler had a Mech suit and Churchill was riding a T-rex.

Let's be real, human beings are hypocrites, we're not perfect and one of the things we do is say we believe something and then hold the opposite to a different level.

lol im sure russia will come out of this looking good lol lmao lol

 

[Vince McMahon]

Maidan was a CIA backed coup

It wouldn't have happened if Yanukovich wasn't a greedy fuck.

Even if take it as a "fact" that it was a CIA-guided coup, alphabet agencies cannot foster artificial unrest and if you follow the "colour revolutions", they usually happen in countries with inept governments, who overstep boundaries of any sort of decency in governance.

And yet Kyiv and Mariupol still stands. Where's that big Russian Offensive, hm? Where's that "40 MILES LONG CONVOY" hm? The fact remains that Ukraine still fights and managed to defend well, and most likely will remain so until next month at the very least

You might as well say it's like the Normandy landings, if Hitler had a Mech suit and Churchill was riding a T-rex.

And Putin riding on a dragon. No, seriously, the Japanese made a manga about that

Russia has gone in soft, if you think this is the full extent of the Russian Armed Forces, you're even more retarded then I originally thought.

I don't think anibody expect Ukranians to go full rice farmer mode and expel Russians by hiding in the wheat fields. The vibe I get and see is that the Russians used some retarted tactics at some points and people are expecting them to do the same here. Gallipoli is a meme at this point, and I don't forsee the Russians retreating in disgrace but i can see them taking heavy loses due to a rushed strategy. Expect heavy propaganda either way.

 

[Uranus Pink]

the disadvantage of an abrams is that in order to be king of the battlefield requires a huge vulnerable logistics train to support it,

Who and what navy and air force is capable of overmatching the US Navy and Air Force in order to get at the juicy logistics ships?

which is a criticism not only of Vatniks but US officers. The US army is in the enviable position that they have the resources to keep the abrams supplied but in a real war as resources are degraded you might see the shortcomings of the abrams brought to light.

What shortcomings are there to see as the Abrams, like with the Challenger II and Merkeva IV have been continuously upgraded, modernized, and refitted.

lol no one is doubting a nuclear power can’t wreak more damage, retard.

it’s embarrassing that they’ve resorted to this kind of warfare
