Russian Invasion of Ukraine Megathread

[JosephStalin]

Any agreement that doesn't end in surrender to most of the othes side's demands won't end shit, it'll just postpone the war to a later date.

And by that time we could see a more horrifying war than this one.

Undoubtedly Ukraine will re-arm as fast and as much as possible. The Ukrainians will know how close they came to stopping the Russians this time and make sure they will stop the Russians the next time.

Lol, you can get your money taken from you and used to reimburse the hedgies that took on those debts.

that sounds based im glad russia is fighting globohomo

 

[Mr Bunny]

Didn't you say you'd naw a body part off me with your little bunny teeth for publicly announcing ignores.

I don't recall, that does sound like me, so what body part do not want to continue to have?

 

[Vaclav]

He is now a miserable alcoholic that just rants about "ukrops" and is still a bit delusional over Russia giving them their own country.

Are those related to jerkops? Crimea will be independent as soon as the dimensional merge is complete.

Why does the outline of Ukraine include parts of Northern Caucasia? Are the Hohol morons claiming Circassia or something?

Ukrainian ultra-nationalist claim parts of Armenia
It's a pretty based ideology actually

Left toe, it'll keep me out of the draft

This war has now turned into a grind. As you have mentioned, Russia's losses are mounting. They are already having to strip garrisons in other parts of Russia to replace depleted formations and are bringing in foreign fighters. Flow of aid into Ukraine will only grow. Don't know much about Ukraine's manpower situation but they seem to have enough mobilized to make the war a grind for Russia.

Some say the Russians haven't used all their troops. Sure looks like they are rather close to doing so. There are manpower commitments in other places in Russia that must be met.

Kyiv could be the Stalingrad of this war. Russians could take part of the city but be eventually driven out.

Unless there's some sort of negotiated settlement this war could go on for months. Should that happen spring planting and harvesting of winter wheat planted this past fall in the Ukraine will be affected. Russia may have problems exporting their grain. Then Ukraine faces a large rebuilding job. We shall see charitable appeals for Ukraine for the foreseeable future.

The bigger question becomes not whether Russia will win. They likely will overtake the majority of the country just from numbers and mass. But what will that leave in terms of the state of the Russian Military? They seem to be getting chewed up at an alarming rate. I can’t help but think the Chinese calculus about the region surrounding Russia might be quickly evolving. The CCP rose to power by letting their opponents be ground down in an existential war against a foreign opponent, than following in behind and shooting the survivors. For all their talk of Taiwan, seeing what is happening in Ukraine might give them pause. Both for how effectively the (similarly equipped to their own) Russian Army is being chewed up by light arms. And by the realization that all of a sudden the Siberian Oil fields seem like a softer target than Taiwan.

That's another France-Germany situation but much worse now that we have nukes.

Alsace-Lorraine/Donbass, Crimea

The situation is just fucked up beyond belief.

Are all american politicians this abhorrant to listen to? Jesus, I'd rather listen to a down syndrome kid rant.

Can what remains of the Teutonic Order buy Kaliningrad?

Make East Prussia German Again!

Yet millions tune in night after night to listen to their bullshit, many of them paying for the “privilege”.

The neo-cons are an exceptional breed. Only surpassed by the Dems progressive wing.

There's no rules in war between great powers.

How long can we resist the urge of launching nukes?

Vatnik military is incompetent but I don't fully disagree with the sympathizers saying that the Ukro claims of victory are somewhat exagerated
Also, Chinks actually have the necessary GDP to be a peer competitor with the US/NATO, unlike the Ivans.

 

[Duke Nukem]

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.

Spamming loli and cheese pizza would do it, right?

That being said, people only give a shit about Ukraine because social media people told them to. The buildup has been going on for years, and it's a failure of diplomacy more than anything. Besides, if you're really concerned about getting invaded, why wouldn't you prepare your own territory for it? Regardless of how you feel about the war, Zelensky is an idiot who thought America would bail his ass out of a conflict, especially against a nuclear power and in an area that isn't essential to American interests? (except for Hunter's crack fund, of course)

They'll get bored of posting blue and yellow hearts and flags and shit, at least once another crackhead gets shot by the cops or something. Twitter trash is very fickle, and their memories are short. Regardless of the outcome, they will all forget about it in a month.

Ben Garrison's on-the-nose-made-for-drooling-idiots-who-are-symbolism-illiterate cartoons will never stop being snerk-inducing

Adolf Hitler said something along the lines that propaganda must be short, simple, to the point, and understandable by the least intelligent of whom it intends to reach.

Which is the exact kind of audience that political cartoons are aimed at. Ben Garrison isn't an exception.

The Pajeets beat them off with nothing but Sticks and Stones just last year. So I'm going to maintain a healthy skepticism regarding the Pooh Patrol's actual real world military capabilities. Yeah they are spending a lot. But how many Generals have they found with luxury mansions stuffed basement to ceiling with shrink wrapped pallets of money measured in hundreds of metris tons? Their money is not going to actual capabilities.

Almost all of them don't even read whatever bills they pass either.

These are the folks that Zelensky and Ukraine are counting on to save them.
