There's no way Ukraine, assuming they manage a major counter offensive, will push the Russians onto Russia soil for Barbarossa 2.0, they probably won't even want to touch Crimea. Ukraine knows their only hope is to keep this a defensive war, keeps their image nice for the international community and Russia is less likely to mobilize it's reserve forces.
I mentioned barbarossa for psychological impact but what I meant is that if WWIII begins the ruskies wont even bother going conventional since they know they have no chance against a combined nato army

So when that happens the nukes will fly, even if theres no one left to push the button
 
Bit of blind :optimistic: here, but it will be pretty funny if Kherson does a Warsaw Uprising but instead of just hanging back like the Soviets did Ukraine actually takes advantage and attempts to recapture it. Appears to be the first actual counter offensive that got somewhere too.

The biggest irony imo is the massive hate of the corrupt western media (which I also personally agree is massively corrupt), yet absolute trust and respect for the Russian media lol. Same Russian media that were denying an invasion literally until it started, and denying even to today that this is a war lol.

I honestly believe at least half the Putinbruthas that claim that we shouldn't care about this war because it doesn't involve us or whatever, only care about this war because of their utter disdain of the media and how the media are reporting on it. So much irony.

Not all mainstream media is lies.
Not all Russian media is lies.

Use your brain and question everything. But don't dismiss just coz you don't like what you read. Ukraine is fucked (eventually). Russia is fucked (via sanctions - will get worse). They're both fucked. I hope some motherfucker puts a bullet between Putins eyes.

Spread love
Putin has a way bigger penis than you ;)
 
While we're waiting for the next round of combat footage, I'm going to digress and draw some attention to the MREs in the field out there. Curiously, Steve the MRE man seems to have never done the Russian 24-hour MRE we saw empty boxes for a lot in the first few days. In lieu of him, here's some offensively inoffensive Russian trying it out.


Markiplier also made a go at one, along with US and Worst Korea.


The most curious part of it to me is the lack of a flameless heater in lieu of a mini field stove. I suppose that since you can reuse it for all three meals it would be more logistically efficient, but it just feels wrong to me on a visceral level.

Meanwhile, Steve has elected to perform his mandatory Ukrainian solidarity video in the form of going through the Ukrainian 24-hour MRE.

Well this is the only stuff that I can find for now.

Things are slowing down everywhere and nothing of significant value from Telegram beyond NATO and Russia getting into verbal dick measuring contests and bluffing each other.





 
Update on the Donbas Tochka Debacle. I saw a comment of someone saying that Ukrainian Tochkas are grey whereas the missile that hit Donbas was green.
So I googled Ukrainian Tochka's, and look what I find:

The blue show grey missiles, with obvious roundels of Ukraine.
So what is it with the few green ones?
Well let's take a look at them. It is for the Wikipedia article on the Tochka. It shows that it is a Russian Federation version.

While it's not 100%, it is very likely that the Tochka that hit Donbas was in fact Russian.
That is some Brown Moses level of analysis right there. :D

Until Russia manages to actually go on a significant offensive again or Ukraine does a significant counteroffensive, it's going to be slow. Things are turning into a virtual stalemate pretty quickly.
 
"Instead, the headlines inaccurately represent a 2015 report from the Wall Street Journal (which the articles later cite). In the story, the Journal includes a chart of “foreign donors” that shows “Ukraine” at the top. But these were donations by the nationality of individuals who contributed — not by foreign governments."
Dude. The oligarchs ARE the government. It matters fuck all if (to use a Russian example) Nornickel is taxed and Putin uses the money to fund a cause, or Nornickel is not taxed and Potanin uses the same money to fund the same cause.

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).
Yes.

- Russians are ethnically on the bottom of the progressive stack (yes, the Russian Federation is actually rather multiethnic, but the leadership is primary european russian)
Exactly.

I believe there's actually a word for having more loyalty to a country at war with your own. It's not a very kind word.
Look, if you rape and murder my mom, eat her corpse, and put on her coat and ushanka, I'm not gonna call you mom, and my children aren't going to call you granny.

The West, NATO, the EU, they mainly serve as a scapegoat here, the public causi belli, Putin wants to annex Ukraine just as he eventually will do for Belarus, because Putin thinks all lands that were once Russia's should remain Russia's, and Ukraine not being firmly planted into Russian influence and is in fact not firmly Russian aligned is unacceptable.
Putin doesn't want to have to butter up satellite states, too, he's got his hands full paying reparashuns to Chechnya.

Why does Putin want to expand?

Well, one thing to note is Russia's paranoia.
Putin doesn't want to expand, he wants to keep the Soviet sphere of influence because Soviets overinvested in the ethnic republics and a lot of the strategically important / facilities / resources are there. The Ukraine had the Sevastopol base and now has the North Crimean Channel. Kazakhstan has Baikonur. Without the Soviet republics, Russia is like a quad amputee. It wants the muscles, but not the fat. Russia doesn't want the cripples, retirees, krokodil prostitutes, islamists, etc. It actually enjoys having (for example) a cheap supply of hardworking slaves in Kyrgyzstan that it can use and discard as needed.

Russia is fucked (via sanctions - will get worse).
Russia is not fucked via sanctions, Russia is fucked because it's a shit kleptocratic state which only benefits traitors. You could make the argument that in a gibs state (which Russia technically is) independent entrepreneurs naturally have no love for the government, but even state propagandists are traitors in Russia.
 
The more I learn about Duginism the more I start connecting the dots on Russian, namely Putin's, moves over the last 15 years or so. Very much angled at getting the band back together and righting historical wrongs. This all fits into the much larger Russian mindset. This a video I found the other day that does a pretty good job of explaining how government in Russia works. How it has always worked.
It's got subtitles. There is a robo-dubbed version that can be found in the comments if you don't speak Finnish and don't want to read.


English subs included.
Edit - can't see the subs in the uploaded vid. Any idea?
 
Yep, totally real, legitimate, 95%+ supermajority results.

Well, Crimea has never really wanted to be Ukrainian, for example, in 1991 when the USSR began to break apart, the population of Crimea voted for absolute independence and received 94% support.

So, having no choice to be independent in 2014, the second best option was to become part of Russia.

French President Emmanuel Macron says that Europe
"must prepare for a possible high-intensity armed conflict".
I understand wanting to reinforce your country to send a message of deterrence. but this. Alongside other moves like poland proposing a "peacekeeping" mission to ukraine. Makes me put on my tinfoil and believe that they are preparing to pull something worth preparing your military for.

BUT...!

You have to remember that the 2022 French presidential election will be held on 10 April 2022 and Macaroni is running again for president, so this is very likely just macron using the current situation to try and score support for his presidential run.
:tomgirl:
France is going to elect a new president in the next couple of weeks.
So probably most of what Macron is saying is with that in the back of his mind.
 
Anti Putin guy and his daughter poisoned by russian made nerve agents while actual Russian spies flee the country?
FALSE FLAG!!! They poisoned themselves!
this one is funny since the poison was confirmed by top mongoloids who claimed it was too late to save her, only a couple hours left before dying to russkie magic

and yet daughter is still alive

should have let a neutral party analyze the findings before chimping out
 
That's just insane enough to be plausible in clown world.
Remember ladies and gentlemen, they tried to get rid of the orange man becuase he phoned the Z-man. Just talking to him put our ruling class into a frenzy.

These are the kinds of people who would let the whole world burn before letting any secrets they hold come to light.
