“I randomly brought up black men raping women because YOU are obsessed with black men bigot”

You understand that this doesn’t land, right?

I hope a black man (Russian) rapes you

Here’s a photo of Russian soldiers stationed in Kherson btw

Kiwifarms is one of the only english communities that seem to actually be aware of how unwinnable it is for Ukraine. Not what I was expecting, but happy to see it I guess.

Define "win". Both sides are losing depending on which metric of "winning" you use. A Pyrric victory for Russia, at best. But that doesn't get into the next looming problem they will face if they "win" which is securing and pacifying their gains. Regardless of whichever side you are on that Ukraine didn't collapse quickly means this is going to be protracted and bloody and will last a long time which is not a "win" for any party involved.

The Federation made it an existential fight, even going so far as to put the local leaders of the cities that did surrender without a fight, like kherson, in hoods and carted off to an unknown fate.

Wasn't one recently released after they traded them for 8 Russian POW's?

Also I don't know if it was posted yet but here is a video of an advanced Russian firing technique

Answer the question. Would you let someone come into your house and take your shit or would you fight them?

I wish we had people actually understood the difference between strategy and tactics instead of posting about shit that happened in Stalingrad like almost 100 years ago. Like, try something more relevant like Syria or the Chechen War.

Honestly, I'm not believing Putin is going to accept compromised peace, judging from his latest televised "speech" (read: rant). With the damage of economic sanctions becoming undeniable, China increasingly looking to abandon them, and the West's support only continues to grow, the only way he can "gain" anything from this war is going all in

Agreed, he's been digging in further since before this even went hot. If Russia backs out without taking anything of note (eg Donbass) then he's gonna look like a bitch which I don't think he can take very well.

Apparently its called "Flying Artillery" or something, and Russia also used it at Syria

The Federations tactics have not changed overly much since Stalingrad. Apparently. To be fair though, the Federation did try Nazi Germanies strategy of massive attack on all fronts followed by indiscriminate attack on urban centers. It's going about the same way it worked for Hitler. Extreme short term gains followed by stalemate and retreat.

There are not enough Federation troops to sustain this invasion.

Ukraine's not winning yet, but all signs are pointing to Russia having bitten off far more than it expected, and unless something very big changes in the next month, it's looking like they're going to start choking on it.

That's my whole compromise thing, I think the compromise will be recognition of Donbass and Crimea. Putin's main goal is obviously complete regime change in Ukraine, setting it up for annexation later down the line.

I'll throw my own two cents in and say that it would be like this. A best case Ukrainian victory would mean Putin pulling out all of his forces from Ukraine (including the breakaway parts) which is a pipe dream and a best case Russian victory would be total takeover of Ukraine and that is very unlikely. What is most likely going to happen is something closer to a ceasefire but in whos favor it will be is anybody's guess at this point.

Couldn't find anything on this but I do not think the ballistic computers on those helicopters would be good enough at that range, plus the dispersal of the rockets and the size of the warheads would make it very weak against any real target.

They did not or else that shit hole would be reduced to rubble already, try again. I don't see any retreat; in fact it's the opposite, Russia has advanced.

Ukraine has also bombed its own civilians indiscriminately, and has acknowledged doing so.

Most of them have just had their journos sit around in Kiev and repeat whatever the Kyiv independent says.

It's more surprising they even bother to send them there to do that. Journos got lazy as fuck about overseas reporting the last 3 decades.

Can I get a sauce on this? I am having a hard time finding any because of the totally natural search results.

The russians might gag after sucking too deep on curly pig cock and vomit out a couple new republics

I like to look at this optimistically and hope we at least get a couple cool new flags.

look how goofy these things are

C'mon Ukes! Use more of our toys to blow up more Russian shit and then film it for my viewing pleasure!

Where's my Filipino slave-boy with those grapes I wanted like an hour ago?!

He might be doing manpad evasion maneuvers? It looks to me like he is ripping off all his munitions, dropping flares, and changing course.

I'm usually surprised by how intelligent people can be when they actually analyze a situation, compare multiple sources, and sniff through the bullshit dropped from their own nation's 4th estate. A site like this attracts the more "questioning" individuals out there. Being a questioning person doesn't make you smart, nor does disobeying authority, but it's a good start. Especially these days with unelected tech oligarchs using algorithms to try and control the very "context" of any given situation.

They can't advance. They did not bring enough men. This war was the Federations to win and they bungled it. It's a fuck up all the way down the line. Ukraine has destroyed over a quarter of the Federations truck transport capability. In 3 weeks. It's gotten so bad they have had to pull entire battalions away from the assault on Kiev to build a fucking fuel pipeline from Belarus to Irpin.

The attack on Odessa has been abandoned, while in Kharkiv a recent Ukrainian counter attack has pushed Federation soldiers back to the suburbs.

The Federation was not prepared for this war and now its costing them dearly. And this is just the start. Soon Ukraine will have regional supremacy, unless Russia mobilizes its reserves.

So yeah, unless Putin is prepared to force Russian kids to start dying for him, Ukraine is on track to actually win the war.

Unless he pulls his active forces away from The Federations conflict zones in Japan, Georgia, Turkmenistan and Kazakhstan. That may buy him time. In Ukraine. But if I was Japan or Georgia I would take the invitation for what it is. A declaration of weakness and an opportunity to settle old scores.
