Russian Invasion of Ukraine Megathread

[Beef Elemental]

It really will be telling.

Once again, I'd take this with a grain of salt, but I've seen two numbers tossed around for the amount of Hypersonic missiles that Russia has; 5 and 50. If they really only have 5, they would have just used 20% of their stockpile for one target... in Ukraine. I think that number is unlikely, but even still, if they only have 50 that a not so small percentage for Ukraine.

If we see more being used liberally, I don't think it would be outside the realm of possibility to assume that either China would be providing them with the materials to create more (given their current trade limitations) or that they really are running out of supplies. Given that they're one of the newest conventional weapons in the public eye right now, I find it hard to believe they would have a 'fuck you' amount of these to just throw around willy-nilly as they're probably rather costly to create.

It was a display of force aimed at us and tbh it's a pretty compelling reason not to get involved. Any politician with constituents demanding we intervene should be pointing to that thing and saying lol no. Either that or they just wanted to play with their new toy.

Yeah it's fucked. The worst part is, the alternatives aren't really much better. Either the rich get powerful or the powerful get rich in every system yet. Hell our level of corruption isn't even close to some places.

The best thing we got going for us, truly, is our ability to own and train with guns. Even though the 2nd Amendment has clearly and intentionally been infringed upon consistently over the last Century.

Anyone wanna hazard a guess as to what they'll do to the VDV after the conflict? I really doubt they'll try to build it back up especially considering VDV was already suppose to be one of their better funded and trained branches (iirc they were the first to get the ratnik kit and ak12s) and they proved to be capable of doing exactly fuck and all with it.

If true then this is insanity.

I still think this will never happen.

UN Peacekeepers are infiltrated with foreign intelligence officers.

Idk how it works with UN (or NATO?) to actually send in peacekeepers - like what the vote would have to be. Unanimous? Majority? But as long as Russia or even China has a say, it’ll be a hard “no keep your glowies to yourself.”

They'll keep the VDV still around as a practical joke.

Or they will be reformed into modern day shtrafnikis.

I suspect that win or lose, a thorough cleaning out of leadership will be happening.

All those posts comparing this to 2003 iraq and going "Russia is doing so much better" get funnier and funnier with each passing day.

We took Baghdad at this point

I won't deny this recent move is bizarre for someone who calculates like he does and we can sit here and argue what his motives exactly were, but I think we can all agree he didn't expect as much resistance as he got and as much backlash via cancel culture that he did.

On the other hand the speed at which Russia was canceled may become a wake up call to people within nations over how the rules of the world are now, and that they can't trust something like SWIFT not to be weaponized against them for bad behavior. We may see the beginning of the death of global financial institutions here if a lot of nations begin pulling out or setting up emergencies for any possible wars or rebellions they may get involved with.

They only pulled this shit because A: its europe, else nobody would care. And B: russia its not a major economy

If they did this with china it would automatically cause an instant global depression, followed by every country that has a huge trade % with china jumping out of the cancel club and trading on yuan, effectively killing the dollar forever

The effects would be devastating, burgerstan has been basically exporting its inflation and debt for decades thanks to the petrodollar, without that the entire country goes bankrupt overnight, the military much like the soviet one after 1991 wont be able to pay wages or maintenance costs

It would be dumbest biggest shot-in-the-foot in history

Fucking retarded virtue signaling for free publicity

Like what kind of no-life retard goes to a mustard museum...

What happens when you can't get a phone because it costs ten times your monthly salary, there are no chips to make one, and there's no electricity so you can't use it anyway? What happens when you can't afford your burgfat foot because meat and bread have quintupled?

Nigger you been here 4 years and still cant quote?

And by the time shit gets that bad you'll be used to it, like the hobo tent cities of LA

The US has been working for some time on hypersonic stuff. What do you think that X34 space plane thing was?

That's not the hypersonic project, its this

March 18, Kherson
Locals protest against Russian troops and sing the anthem of the united Ukraine. Russian troops took out the speakers and turned on the anthem of the Soviet Union. I won't lie, this is a pretty funny response.

Imagine unironically wanting to live in the soshit union again

I don't think you need to be a psychic detective to know the Russian government is extremely paranoid about Nato attacking them in Ukraine (and they're right to be paranoid, Nato really is out to get them, if the West is openly arming Ukraine think about how many glow ops they aren't talking about).

A hypersonic missile says "back the fuck off". If they're feeling like they especially Hate The Antichrist, it'll be a tac nuke marked "as per my previous email" next time. But hopefully it doesn't come to that, because that kicks down the door marked "WW3". Idk if Nato would be able to back down if that happens, Nato/the US always doubles down.

So some Russian cosmonauts arrived at the ISS wearing uniforms with yellow and blue on it, not in the Ukie pattern. I bunch of tards now call them stunning and brave for showing support for Ukraine because those two colors being together mean Ukraine now.

Imagine wasting blood and resources for 20 years, and not even keeping your conquests afterwards. Winning?

Why do I get the feeling that these cunts are conflating people understanding why this has had to happen to being supportive of it, hmm..
But yeah,
>leddit

They only get to be racist when the government approves of it, so they don't want others to take it away

We got a submissive puppet out of it. Meanwhile Russia can't even get their own sphere to stay in line with dissent in Belarus and the previous pro russian government of Ukraine getting chased out.

They need to show something effective to try and revitalize their cratered arms industry. Xi is looking at the performance of Russian tanks and going KACHING! On todays market Russian vehicles look to be as valuable as a used Yugo that's never had an oil change.

Oh come on. It was mostly flat desert filled with people with a single digit IQ, and we had the best warfare technology the world has ever seen. Should have been over faster. Ukraine is a country filled with people with an IQ of 12, up against a bunch of people dumber than they are, and they are both fighting with 1980-2000 era technology. It's like watching modern war except we all got in the DeLorean and went back to 1995. Look at the "MIGZ" the Ukrainians are begging for. They aren't modern by any stretch.

We got ISIS out of it.

Hmm.
I wonder how many of these lootings are just Ukrainians robbing shit and blaming Russians.

Very late but they are wearing Russian uniforms. Also yeah looting is going to happen no matter where or when a conflict has happened there was looting. I wouldn't deny even if there were footage of Ukies looting shit.

Lol, we also got millions of unassimilating antithetical brown people, who were imported right from the places we just got done bombing.

That's what the US does, it stirs shit up. What I do not get is... Why? Collapse of the USSR left all of its former republics in shambles, including Russia. There was a growing pro-EU sentiment. Russian resource-based economy wasn't exactly a threat to the US-dominated globohomo world order. Why?!

Maybe because you never meet anybody from former Iron Curtain. Live under Iron Curtain was shit. Live in current Russia is shit. In overly simplified terms, dictators cant afford society that's free and has some wealth.

In 1980 Ukraine was about as wealthy as Poland. In 2022 Polish GDP is 4 times higher than Ukrainian. Those are similar countries. The one big difference is one was open to the west and another was firmly under Russia thumb until recently.

 

[MidUSA]

Can you name me one occasion where a country was invaded and the sitting government replaced that did not require a prolonged military occupation afterwards? Any ROE. Make it piles of skulls in an extensive terror campaign if you want to. Can you name one?

Anschluss of Austria 1938?

Please get this Reddit bullshit out of here. Dugin is a certified schizophrenic. Everybody keeps talking about MUH FOUNDATIONS OF GEOPOLITICS but neglects to mension his other book where he claims the world is ruled by immortal vampires who use numerology.

Cool it with the antisemitism, dude!

They had an army larger and with more equipment than Ukraine. Also we didn't do whatever the hell you can call russia's current strategy right now.

Good, the more race mixing, the better.
