That may be true if you consider how important US lend lease and aid to the USSR was.

As soon as Germany got ground down on the eastern front though, it's defeat was inevitable. The US could have noped out around 1942 and never sent a single more, bullet, jeep or seed of grain, no soldier and no plane and it wouldn't have changed the outcome. (It would have changed the outcome insofar as more of Europe falling under the iron curtain and the amount of casualities suffered by the USSR of course, but not the defeat of the 3rd reich).

It is correct that the US has won wars singlehandedly though, you're correct there. The wars against Mexico and Spain are obvious examples.
Everyone argues about how much lend lease impacted the Eastern Front. The truth is it helped a lot, but not to the degree that Americans think. The thing that the Brits and Americans did do, that went the farthest to allowing the Soviets to turn the tide, was they began round the clock bombing of Germany. This accomplished 2 critical things for the Soviets. 1. It began disrupting German industry and logistics. To varying degrees. But really ramped up once the allies figured out that fuel was the best target. And 2. It diverted critical German resources away from the Eastern Front. In particular it kept the mighty Luftwaffe over German skies. Thus denying Germans continued air superiority over Russia.
 
And then you know, it wasn't a coup, but that doesn't matter. Yanukovich ran like a pussy

So if you violently overthrow a democratically elected government, and the overthrown president flees the country rather than allow you to lynch him, then that retroactively makes the coup justified and means it "wasn't a coup"?

Hold that thought for when Zelensky flees the country (or when it's revealed that he already has).

This is not a US Navy Seal patch, SAS, NATO, or any other nations patch other than Russia or Ukraine.

The patch has an AS Val suppressed automatic rifle on it. A weapon developed by the Soviets and used buy Russian and Ukrainians alike. Often special forces.

as was already linked before itt by someone other than me, but I liked it so much that this is how I now genuinely see anyone that posts a 'reliable' source itt whether they obviously stan for Russia or Ukraine:


EVERYTHING posted here is purely based on your own experience, end of. that said, certain experiences like Joseph Stalin's suggestion to watch for heavy sourcing of reservists always being a sure sign that serious shit is going down, is worth more than others and I rate it informative if it seems like it to me. still, I do enjoy those 'others' a lot too - just please treat them the same way as you would memes in the vein of the one I reposted here and it'll probably lower the amount of slapfights itt considerably.

or don't and carry on I guess...
 
It's funny how the world is mocking Russia for their "special military operation" bullshit which they have made illegal for citizens to call it a war but if NATO goes in they will call it something like a "limited peace keeping operation" or a "tactical training operation" or a "democracy preservation special mission" or something and you will probably be considered a Russian operative if you call it a proxy war or an invasion.
That's your typical NATO terminology though. They did the same shit in Libya and Serbia.

On the patch? That's a generic AR-style rifle with a front grip. Russians don't really use front grips on military weapons.

Edit: Or a PDW. But definitely not Russian.
H&K MP7 with a silencer and the stock extended?

that's a more credible explanation than the schizo talk about ethnicity-specific bioweapons engineered from local slav dna lol
When we get Russian news footage of the raided labs all of the military police on TV will be coked out of their gords, rubbing their gums and rambling about how they lost all the evidence in a series of localized Azov arson attacks.
 
This is a very interesting video with Dmitry Gordon (Ukrainian propagandist) and Evgeny Chichvarkin (a former oligarch), and although both are against the war in Ukraine, I find Chichvarkin's position extremely interesting and balanced. For the most part, the Youtube translator translate well, so I recommend it for watching.

I'd go get an appointment for new glasses if I was you, because that's either an Uzi or an MP7, or not a real gun at all on the patch, and it doesn't look anything like an AS Val.

This single video exhibits everything that is wrong with America. The USA is dead and Biden is a fuck. God bless Putin and the Russian Federation! I hate the anti-christ!

Edit: I feel like, and am, a fucking retard. This is Alex Stein and he does these types of jokes all the time.
Dude is on on point though with everything and I still stand by my original take. He knows exactly what hes doing.

Denys Prokopenko, leader of Azov Battalion is inside Mariupol right now defending it, here are his words from the ground:


Here's another video:


People are claiming the encircled port in the Donetsk Oblast that was won by Ukraine during the 2014 War in Donbass and turned into an Azov headquarters has been seeing human rights violations happen. The Russians, Chechens and pro-Russian separatists have been constantly shelling the city every 30 minutes day and night and almost every manmade structure in the entire city has been so far destroyed. They have no electricity, water or food, people are getting sick from the Cold weather, children have been reported dying from dehydration, babies and pregnant women have been killed in indiscriminate shellings, people have been fighting each other for food and much more. The Russians have cut off humanitarian aid and escape routes. Mass graves have been dug for civilians who have died, with the bodies buried in trenches with no funeral or anything. The numbers are saying anywhere between 2,000 - 20,000 Ukrainian civilians have died and 150 Russian soldiers have been killed, including more than 5 out of the 12 Russian commanders who have been killed in the line of duty during the War in Ukraine (most recently Oleg Mityaev).

Here's another video telling you what's happening at the ground:


I'll keep this open for updates.


Note that as of March 5th, over 90% of Russia's pre-staged troops were in Ukraine.
 
So if you violently overthrow a democratically elected government, and the overthrown president flees the country rather than allow you to lynch him, then that retroactively makes the coup justified and means it "wasn't a coup"?

Hold that thought for when Zelensky flees the country (or when it's revealed that he already has).
No him killing over a hundred people in the streets pretty much makes the protests justified. Perhaps I can say it again since you clearly have no idea what you are talking about. He dipped because he knew that the Ukrainian parliament was done with his horseshit. They impeached his ass the day after he fled, essentially unanimously. The protests weren't taking over the fucking capitol storming his house and killing the fucker... they were screaming at their MPs to do the right thing, and he knew when he was out of power, he was going back to jail, convict that he was.

So why not live life off of Putin's dime instead of be in a prison? Former government officials going to jail was kind of a tradition at that point, one that continues even with his corrupt as fuck successors.

Also, generally speaking, the military is involved with a coup. That was not the case here. Again, Putin calls it a coup because it serves his purposes, and his dickriders follow suit.
