Russian Invasion of Ukraine Megathread

[H. Bergeron]

No, Russians were telling people that Azov was putting people in that building to blow it up, and blame the Russians, since saturday-ish.

Basically it was predicted a couple of days ago as the Azovites doing a false-flag attack with that building, and nothing happened, until it finally did, today.

Ok, evidence that Azov shelled it and not Russia.

Didn't think so. You're argument is what? Russia magically knew about an Azov plan to shell a theater days ago, and leaked it to some random shithead on telegram so they would be covered when it finally went down? That shit is absurd on its face, and the fact y'all can't see that is honestly frightening.

But since we are talking theories how about this one? Russia spreads the information about Azov planning to blow people up, then blows people up and claims it is Azov, then they go around the city saying "Hey, these fuckers killed you and blamed it on us!" to try and get locals on their side.

Makes just as much sense, more so even considering that after Donbass, Eastern Ukraine that wasn't under Russia's thumb fucking hates Russia, heritage be damned, the saw the shit show Putin's civil war created in the east and are less scared of the Azov than the 25000 brigade who attacks them on the regular. Russia thought the east especially would welcome them with open arms. Instead they are fighting tooth and nail and had been prepping for this for the last eight years.

Crazy theory, I know because Russia never in the history of ever has created false flags or spread misinformation to justify their horseshit war... or never blamed the other side for their own shit. Someone else is always the asshole.

Reminds me of a joke
"You run into an asshole in the morning, you ran into an asshole."
"You run into assholes all day, you're the asshole."

Russia in a fucking nutshell.

Well, Russia is about to default on some of it's loans, they still haven't made any significant gains in Ukraine for the past week, oh and with Putin's speech today there's a very small chance he's about to go full on Stalin.

Ahh, Russia's favorite past time activity:
Murdering millions of people under their dominion.

It's no wonder why counties have been trying to get out of their sphere of influence, lol. Old habits die hard.

 

[Shitted Scaredless]

Rasputin didn't die for this.

 

[JosephStalin]

Please, don't use the R-word. I prefer to call it "special penis operations"


Putin would probably be one of those assholes writing effortposts on Multimedia and trying to start a Voloydiyamyr Zelenskyyy thread in the Prospering Grounds.

Kadyrov would be shiposting in General Discussion

For some reason believe Putin would fit in all right here. Most people do; there's a rather wide continuum of tolerable behavior here. At worst, he would be ignored by people. You have to do a lot to be banned from KF.

I would imagine the Russian Federations decision to reduce Ethnically Russian cities like Kahrkiv and Mariople to smoking craters has crystallized things a little bit. You really see this with Odessa which back in 2014 was largely ambivalent to what happened has really switched gears and gone hostile.

At the end of the day people care more about what they can see, and what they see right now is a bunch of Gopnik Conscripts from thousands of miles away razing their homes to the fucking ground. The fact that they happen to speak the same language becomes immaterial very fast.

Yeah, people don't get that the East saw what happened in Donbass and looked west towards Kyiv and said.... yeah no I don't want that Russia shit. They have been preparing for the last eight years, and Putin really believed they still were on the side of Russia over their own countrymen. Mariupol sees itself as Ukrainian first and foremost, they could give three shits about the EU, but they may speak Russian, but they are NOT Russian, not anymore.

He'd be banned in a week for a-logging and trying to usurp our rightful Hetman and Voivode of All the Kiwis, NOOL

How come the Russian chans allow sound on their webms but not /pol/ lol.

Also some extra memes to add on.

 

[The best and greatest]

This article came out not even an hour ago, we're getting mixed messages. Especially since Zelensky said they're giving up on NATO a few days ago.
My guess is that there's a bunch of confusion, that to some neutrality means no NATO and no EU or just no NATO. Or maybe it's just MSM beating the drum.

My guess is this will end in Ukraine having no NATO or EU ties in the same way that Japan can't have a standing army.

Actually, pro-war Russians' most common complaint to Putin was that the war should have started in 2014.For one, it would be somewhat more legitimate "as a restoration of legitimate government." The other one is the military of Ukraine at that time, which was quite pathetic and they wouldn't get any new shiny toys from us. And you should consider that almost 10 years of propaganda can go a long way; national battalions don't grow on trees, you know. And the chance of being shot as a saboteur or a spy suddenly reduced visible support for Russia. Who would guess? I agree that ordinary people care mostly about themselves and their relatives not being blown up. They are the ones who pay for the mistakes and maliciousness of politicians. That's why this is a tragedy.

Daddy Vladdy needs to be invited to KiwiFarms and given an account.
Assuming he's not already here and shitpoasting already.

“Mr.President, we have an update on the Kyiv front.”
“In a minute Shoigu, I need to see the latest on Nikocado Avocado.”

Because Gookmoot is gay and I won't have sex with him.

 

[H. Bergeron]

But I heard that everything happening here is a false flag... that's what the other thread told me.

Serious question, the supposed human rights violations, are they said to be happening after the invasion, or before. Because every account I have seen of Mariupol prior did not at all paint it as a city in chaos, it was supposedly one of the bigger economic turnarounds in recent memory for Ukraine, a country which is generally fucked on that end in most other places.

Vatnikstanis would have better chances in general because of how divided Ukranian society was at the time.

Pretty dire stuff if the destruction of a theater full of refugees, including children, is accurate. Seems like a provocative act.

I can only assume Goofy is supposed to be Russia because Tatu's All the Things She Said is ingrained in my head due to YTMND.

 

[glib]

I think its interesting that the internet is its own battleground right now of emotions.
It's really tiring to see so many people just blurting out whatever the fuck, posting absolutely shit astroturfed memes, and propaganda.
What a bunch of fuck, while the actual situation is completely opaque.
