Russian Invasion of Ukraine Megathread

I hope sequences playing as a brave hohol freedom fighter doesn't become a trope in videogames after this.

Don't worry, I'm sure rainbow six is already working on adding one.

I'm sure they'll fit right in between the Trans Croatian, Thai Cyborg and Gay Argentinian Art Thief. They just need to figure out what to do with the R*ssian Operators.

I wonder how many would agree that the biggest victims of the war are the rank and file Russians soldiers.
At least the Ukrainians suffer for something most will see as laudable. The Russians are dying for a sunk cost gambit that will only make their 1% richer. At least in Iraq and Afghanistan the invaders could justify themselves morally, even if was mostly full of shit.

While everyone is quick to remind us that a lot of Russians have relatives and loved ones in Ukraine, the same goes for Donbas, whose population lived under constant shelling for 8 years. There are some videos out there in which Russian soldiers and Donbas militia reunite with relatives in hugs. That's why those territories are called liberated: people no longer need to fear constant danger and can finally meet their family.

So justification, at least for some soldiers, is even stronger than Iran and Afghanistan.

The rumor is that he's hiding out in Warsaw making those cringe green screen videos. Rumor also is that his meeting with the Eastern European leaders was also in Warsaw. Why aren't we seeing him at live public events in Kiev or other parts of the country? Why is everything he's in pre-recorded? Churchill was out and about during the blitz wasn't he? The clown Jew needs to put these rumors to rest and prove he's actually in the Ukraine.

Nigger, there are literally enemy troops a stone toss away from Kyiv, ready to throw anything they have in disposal to kill Zelenskiy. While there is a literal goddamn sea between Churchill and the fucking Nazi. That's not an apple to apple comparison, that's not even an apple to orange comparison

"The enemy is afraid of a close fight" says the sniper who sits in a concealed location a mile away and picks off targets who don't know he's there and can't do anything to fight back.

In other news, kettle is black, says pot.

I don't believe this person has ever stepped foot in Ukraine, btw. Until I see an actual photo of this person of indistinguishable heritage standing in a bombed out building with Ukrainian signs and cars with Ukrainian license plates in the street, I vote it's all the gayest gayop to have ever gayop'ed

“Guys, I’m fighting for the freedom of the Ukrainians over here. These Russians are opportunistic cowards who try to take advantage of a bad situation.

Anyway, buy my book.”

I wouldn't be surprised to find out that several publishing houses already have agents trying to sign people for books about this already. Prepare yourself for the new stream of war memoirs.

Honestly the saddest thing about it. Russians are killing Russians and Ukrainians are killing Ukrainians.
Some people in 2014 were drawing parallels with a civil war.
And now all the programming that “Ukrainians are totally not a brotherly nation to Russians” has fuel to perpetuate for a century.

Article about a U.S. Afghanistan veteran leaving Ukraine after a traumatic experience carrying the dead body of a Georgian soldier.

One highlight :

“In the time I’ve been in Ukraine, I survived cruise missile strikes, constant shelling from artillery, moving through hostile territory, cold down to my bones, sickness, hunger, and the anguish of recovering our war dead,” Le wrote on Facebook. “I am tired in my bones. I’m not sure how much longer I’m going to stay in Ukraine, but I feel that I’ve done my part and am satisfied that it’s more than most.”

Btw, this is an interesting look inside the foreign legion :

https://taskandpurpose.com/news/ukraine-foreign-legion/

The foreign legion has been a disaster so far with so many of them underperforming in battle and then leaving in a panic after experiencing real war.

The veterans really got complacent in Afghanistan and Iraq (mostly because they were fighting against literal cavemen in terms of equipment and training and the fact that the U.S. military is lightyears ahead in terms of equipment and support)

It's also reported that more than a hundred foreign volunteers have been killed so far in cruise missile attacks and maybe hundreds more in actual combat.

They should sit this one out.

Who would have thought that old out of shape boomers and redditors wouldn't make for a lethal, efficient fighting machine.

Clearly these idiots have never heard of the plethora of tactical nukes the US and soviets came up with during the cold war.

How convenient that everyone this person doesn't like is somehow tied to the same pariah.

Funny how that always seems to happen....

I broke my neck today trying to do mental gymnastics. The Western press and its doublethink are impossible to understand.

At least they found somebody other than Hitler this time.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare (2019) had its plot largely centered around Not!Syria and how the Russians were evil and gassing all the babies. Call of Duty Modern Warfare III (2023-2025) will probably have its campaign set in Not!Ukraine where the Russians are Evil and incinerate all the babies with EVIL Thermobaric weapons.

Plebbit got another Ukrainian squad killed.

Having reddittards on your side is worse than engaging with the actual enemy

Wth...what is the point of having "less destructive" nuclear weapons? What exactly does that even mean? No fall out?

 

[MrJokerRager]

Well I decided to watch that Zelensky movie and finished it and I have to say that it seemed decent, like those generic romantic comedies of the 2000s.

The film was fully in Ukrainian with no English subtitles, I was able to kind of understand what is happening but the movie seemed like it could have been set in Beverly Hills or Huntington Beach or some other rich enclave in California. The architecture alone reminded me of that style that is used for new buildings in many areas of California are getting gentrified or the "Soda Sopa" treatment to quote South Park.

Point is that someone could dub the whole movie in English and nobody could guess the movie is set in Ukraine lol, though I am sure they have rich well off areas in Ukraine.

There is one scene of note though where he gets slapped around in there and he doesn't retaliate but shows that impotent liberal rage emotion.

Overall, I am sure he has probably made a lot of movies in Ukraine and maybe part of the reason that he got voted in.
