Russian Invasion of Ukraine Megathread

[Narcotics]

Full US involvement looking more likely
View attachment 3097744

There's been us troops deployed in nato territory since the start of this whole deal, it's not recent at all, this is just this jake guy saying what's been said for days, I believe this is just burger deterrence directed at russia, "bomb ukraine all you want, but don't you dare touch nato territory".
Full us involvement means moving us troops directly into ukraine, which they would have done weeks ago if they were that retarded.
I am not saying that the us government isn't retarded, they are, but they aren't retarded enough to sent their troops directly into the meatgrinder, not yet atleast.

I'm very skeptical of our ability to be the World Police™ when we can't even keep our own house in order.

Never stopped the US Gov from trying before.

They are so rich they don't have to feel any of the consequences of their stupidity.

Why are our "elites" so dumb?

Anyway, here is a video of humanitarian aid from Russia to the residents of Mariupol. Hugs from crying babuska are included.

Was the city already taken or only some of its parts?

Especially when over 1/3rd of your population is morbidly obese and/or teeming with mental illnesses.

Poland hates Russians so much, that when their President's plane crashed due to shitty weather and everyone on board was killed, they really thought the Russians were behind it.

Given the history and the event the Polish President was going to commemorate, it's not an entirely unreasonable belief.

Look I'm a fairly knowlegable well studied amateur when it comes to air crashes. I have years of mci response management training and have been on scene for a few major crashes. So I study this shit. I've looked at the Polish Presidents crash. Read a lot of the reports. While I mostly agree that the cause was the pilots attempting a landing in conditions that should not have been attempted, due to the Presidents PR flak sitting in the cockpit pressuring them to do so, against every rule of air safety. Given that Putin was involved, I still have doubts and questions. Bad things happen to those that displease Vlad.

Oh BTW Poland's current President is the dead Presidents Brother. Yeah the Polish hate Russia and loathe Putin with a white hot fury rarely seen.

So This is an interesting side note. Looks like India is a tad uncertain about how well the Russians will be able to provide parts and support for the Indian jet fleet.

It all starts with “it’s just aid”, “we’re only sending weapons”, and “we are just strengthening the territory nearby.” Eventually it’s going to move to full involvement if this war doesn’t wrap up soon, as the US already blew all the sanctions too early on Russia. I don’t think those in power are trying to intentionally cause it, but they are way in over their heads and behaving too erratically for me to trust they won’t just escalate things.

The hero worship is getting grating. Fuck off. Zelensky was a corrupt autocrat, who just happened to be in power when Russkis kicked his door down, and that is about his only contribution to this world that isn't sucking up money from Ukrainians.

At this point anyone going into the US military is just asking to be sacrificed on the alter of Globohomo defending a location that will be lost regardless and then some kids drone striked in retribution while the real enemy gains billions of dollars in free military equipment the US leaves behind.

While reassuring, it's not reassuring they felt the need to bring it up.

News from a popular pro-Russian Ukrainian, currently residing in Sevastopol, Crimea. He does daily updates about what's going on along the whole front line.

Dude claims that NGOs that want to provide humanitarian aid to freed Ukrainian cities are unable to do so due to a bureaucratic wall. There were no special customs rules applied yet so humanitarian aid falls under "export" category so NGOs can't do shit. That's retarded, but totally something that could have happened. Only government provided humanitarian aid goes through right now.
I'll specify that he talked about what happens in the Southern direction, which is supposed to include Mariupol. @White_N just had a related post on previous page. Guess that was state provided aid.

Gonna go out on a limb and assume that the moment Mariupol is taken every household appliance is gonna start screaming about it.
It will be a major victory.

The real question here is what counts as an "existential threat" to the kremlin? An attack to russian territory would definitely count as one, but so far in these 2 weeks and a half of conflict i haven't seen anything that would suggest a direct nato/usa attack to the russian motherland.
Economic collapse would count as an existential threat? They've been boosting about how russia needs no foreigns to keep their economy stable.
Burger troops pilling up in nato territories counts as an existential threat?
Russia is paranoid at nato/usa either moving in to step in ukraine, or at the alliance attacking russia directly, or both.
In my own opinion, this is more of russia shaking it's rattle at nato/usa, "don't step in, we will do it". But will the us/nato keep their promise of not stepping in directly over ukraine? who knows.

Bug-people make me sick, but shit like this tells me they won’t last long without shit I never use or partake in.

It is that knowledge that will keep me smiling and warm through the starkness of long cold nights with beans and rice after the West fully collapses and millions of people I hate are starving in the street.

The Ukrainian Army published a picture of a strange container they managed to get their hands on in the Kiev area. OSINT autists believe that this is the command post for a Krasukha-4 electronic warfare system. If true, I will preempt @JosephStalin and say that Langley will be chomping at the bit to get their hands on it.

Did two years of COVID lockdowns make niggas blind?
OSINT needs to clean the shit out of their collective eyes. The image on the left looks nothing like anything other than being a rectangular box that's green in color.

Russia may be getting bogged down and tripping over their own dicks, but all the initial circlejerking over Zelensky and the Clapping Einsteins of Kiev has pre-emptively made me doubtful of anything that sounds like good news for Ukraine.

It bears reposting:

I like that old war horse for no other reason than he doesn't call Kiev "Kyiv."

Starting WW3 seems like the dumbest option possible at this point so they might just go for it. DC is way, way more angry and frightened about this thing than they have any right to be and I see they're still telling Biden to float the idea of a chemical WMD attack for no particular reason
