Russian Invasion of Ukraine Megathread

[AnOminous]

How likely is nuclear war? I don’t believe anything The main stream media says.

Lmao who cares?

To quote Kurt Funnygut:
Don't care if I do die, Do die, do die!
Like to make the juice fly, Juice fly, juice fly!

I'm close enough to somewhere that gets just utterly mega-nuked I don't care, it's just a brief flash and over.

 

[mindlessobserver]

Its on. There's never been a wind up like this before.
It just has to look like Vlad hit NATO.

It's all fire and fury for the voters. No western leader will stick his or her neck out. On that front at least Putin was right.

He literally wrote an essay to the world public that might as well have been called "Why I am going to invade the Ukraine and why you bitches ain't gonna do shit about it."

Don't sto

What is more likely to happen?
NATO Article 5 or Japan ignoring Article 9 and recreating the death of the Baltic Fleet in the Russo-Japanese war?

How the hell is this happening AGAIN

(EDIT: Despite the immense loss of materials and manpower, I still am positive Putin is inevitably going to come out on top over Ukraine, if the success of the reddit gayops was anything to go by)

I thought you wanted to be banned?
man and i was giving you 24 hours but you came back barely half an hour later, that oughta be a record

Leaving of my own accord isn't being banned you walking assburger

Okay, here we go
I saw @Null on Rekieta, well not really saw cause he wouldn't show his face, and he was so far out on the spectrum you could see the pain on Rekieta's face as he tried to talk to him. It helped me understand KF

Don't make me start on the pay pigs and para-social shit.
Who could think that they're friends of people they pay to talk to. It's worse than believing a stripper likes you.

Now report me so I can spend my remaining days hugging my cat and waiting for Vlad's firey vengeance to rain down on all the military stuff around me.
Please, before I start using emoticons and put some gay cartoon character in my profile.

Well if Japan wants to retake the Kuril Islands now is the perfect time. After all, Putin seems to think borders can just be redrawn just cus muh history. It would be perfectly legal under international law too. Japan and the Russian Federation are still formally at war and Vladamir Putin rejected Japan's peace proposal a few years ago. Nothing stopping the Japs from just doing it and declaring fait accompli.

Remember, as much as people of an historical bent admire the resistance of the Finns to the Russians, even their most valiant efforts still led to a peace where they had to surrender much of their territory.

Sadly, this is probably one of those, even if it isn't reduced to a completely impotent rump state.

Let's compare and contrast shall we?

The Maidan took over the justice building in protest of orwellian anti protest laws and left when they changed. Bad, arguably I suppose, not unheard of in a mass protest movement of millions.

The Donbass separatists took over just after Russia seized Crimea, and took over all the centers of government and declared the whole town to be independent. They just so happened to do it with Russian supplied arms and with the aid of Russian troops coming up from Crimea.

And if you think that Maiden is what a violent overthrow looks like, you're high. Get help.

The violent overthrow that ended outside of the actual hall of government without a breach. And Yanukovich ran to Russia rather than face criminal prosecution that was likely incoming, His entire administration collapsed and he left the country sans not only a president, but any administration.

So the Rada voted his ass out, with a vast majority. Not a coup. Not a violent overthrow. But you know that.

You're such a retard. There's no such thing as a peaceful overthrow of the government first of all and in this case, there were snipers shooting at the cops and armed members of the Right Sector taking over buildings and even when European officials came in and tried to negotiate some peace, the Right Sector refused to lay down their arms until Yanukovych resigned. They didn't leave the government buildings, they in fact refused and to pretend like they weren't trying to kill Yanukovych is just lieing. That was the goal. Oh and also these "peaceful protestors" showed up in Odessa a few months later where they chased anti-Maidan protestors into a building which they then set on fire and burned people alive.
You're just a disingenuous faggot who moves the goalposts and tries to come up with arguments to justify your position but those same arguments don't apply to the other side because "Putin bad".
This whole thing since before 2014 has been caused by the State Department fucking around because they hate Russia and ultimately want a color revolution there to overthrow Putin. They don't care if it takes a nuclear World War 3 to get rid of the current Russian government, they'll do it if they can and they just might be able to because there's enough retarded niggers like you who are easily manipulated by propaganda.

I think the difference is if it is popular or not. It seems that the Maidan protests were popular, where as the Donbas ones were not. (Alledgedly)

Not quite. Maiden generally happened within norms of what the world is willing to accept. It was also massive and knew how to play the media game. Donbass actually started out doing that as well.

Donbass was a small group of actual separatists with a decent sized part of the population there who was teed off. I don't debate that. There were protests that were more likely than not genuine, even if there is evidence of Russia support even going back then. But the early protests were mainly theater, not particularly violent, and the seized buildings were sometimes returned later in the day. Think the more peaceful part of Jan 6, but it keeps happening and you have a violent ass fringe complicate things. The main issue that they had at the time other than Yanukovich was Ukraine's bonehead vote to ban Russian as a language, that vote didn't stick, but it deffo hurt relations. This went on for a while, with Ukraine arresting some of the most violent protestors, and as they went they got replaced by Russian thugs, or at least Russian paid thugs.

Things like this had happened before, and had been dealt with amicably.

But unlike what Seabiscuts keeps claiming there was absolutely funding and arming by Russia with it being most visible in April and later when shit got real. A couple of separatist groups said fuck it and took over everything. Russia provided equipment and massed 40,000 troops on the border. Shit kept escalating, way too many people, on both sides fucking died. And again, this follows Putin's modus operandi. Putin took advantage of ethnic tensions to justify his invasion. Not giving a flying fuck who gets hurt in the process.

You've just described the violent overthrow of a democratically elected government by foreign funded insurrectionists.

What part do you dispute exactly? Yanukovich wasn't legitimate? Euromaiden wasn't 'that' violent?

Oh also you forgot the recorded phone call 2 months prior to the peaceful protests when the state department point person lays out in great detail the how and the why regime change would occur, including who was to serve in the new administration. Coincidentally things turned out exactly like that. But I'm sure you have a cope for that. Burgers man, every fucking time.

Today on the local liquor store-


"No, retards, these aren't Russian stop asking."
Now I expect this is preventative rather than a reaction but I want to know who looks at the giant swedish flag on Svedka and goes "hmm yes this must be Russian"

 

[Rezza]

So remember how Pravda claimed the Russian have killed and identified three American soldiers in Ukraine? Turns out they're still alive and not in Ukraine (archive)

 

[Hell on Earth]

Hot Take: It's not religion nor race, it's society. Specifically, it's the culture. Even if you take these people out of the ME or Africa they will likely be growing up in families and communities that are aligned to the culture where they come from. These cultures usually have a lot of worse ideals like giving less value to human life and seeing women as inferior or even worse as objects (which leads to high rape and murder rates).

This is such a shitty argument and I still do not know how people can do the mental gymnastics to get to this conclusion. I have asked this question before but the person I asked didn't answer so here I will ask you. If a large African American gentlemen kindly broke into your house and started banging your significant other, would you fight the brute or would you just give up and let him have his way?

Society is formed around geography and Russia is ideal land for steppe conquerors and it's very hard to defend.

People wonder why the Assyrians were such assholes to everyone around them but it all makes sense when you look at the geography (hint : Assyria is flat as fuck and thus easy to conquer)

The conclusion is that both Assyrian and Russian societies needed to conquer everything to not be conquered themselves by other societies.

A sort of a defensive war that lasts forever.

Btw, that's just one of the components of what makes a society, this is just a starting point.

This thread is primarily another variant of the thunderdome by now and it fucking sucks. I wish you retards would post actual info on the conflict instead of arguing endlessly about irrelevant bullshit or arguing about relevant bullshit with obvious retard-posters.

[Marley Rathbone]

They lied about Iraq.
They lied about Afghanistan.
They lied about Covid.
They lied about vaccinations.
They lied about election fraud.
They lied about BLM protests.
They lied about Kenosha.
They lied about Russiagate.
They lied about Hunter's laptop.

They didn't decide that this time they will tell the truth about the Ukraine war.

 

[Kenya Jones]

Your mistake is thinking that the Ukies aren't just a worse version of the Russians. They are even more corrupt.

I'm talking about a legitimate racial superiority type thing. I posted a link to a twitter thread that does a really good explanation of the Ukrainian/Russian issue when it comes to history, culture, etc.
