Russian Invasion of Ukraine Megathread

[Marley Rathbone]

The end game boss joke is that all governments are corrupt, but folk have to live with what folk vote for.

Democracy these days is mostly just a stamp of approval for the ruling class.

 

[mindlessobserver]

Kadyrov being Kadyrov posted another video.
Translation: "I have always been surprised and at the same time admired people who can smile in a dangerous and even deadly situation. Without a doubt, these are strong-willed fighters, for whom any commander will never be ashamed.
Take care, BROTHERS!
Soon all this will end happily."

Al Jazeera has been saying these are staged photo ops. Chrchen forces were involved in the first week but pulled back after taking heavy casualties.

Retard, it's been said am million times now, nobody is forced to join NATO.
But you know why countries are joining NATO anyway?
It's because of what the fuck Russia is doing to Ukraine right now. Another thing that's been said a million times is that all the ex Soviet states hate and distrust Russia for very good reasons, hence why NATO is a thing, if it wouldn't be a thing, there'd another pact in its place.

This is one thing I never really understood about the pro-Russia position. I get that it's understandable for Russia to be concerned about a bunch of their neighbouring countries joining a military alliance that can rival them; even if the stated purpose is purely defensive, it's still a potential threat whereas none of those countries would be a danger to Russia individually. But they never seem to acknowledge that by the same token all those countries have a reason to view Russia as a potential threat.

It's like a bizarre version of "might makes right", where for some reason independent might is more "legitimate" than might resulting from an alliance. So pre-emptively invading countries to prevent them from making alliances capable of challenging you is self-defense and joining alliances is an act of aggression...

Again, I get why it makes sense purely from a purely self-interested perspective for Russia, but I don't see how this kind of "pre-emptive self-defense" can be justified as a matter of principle. If everyone followed this, it would lead to constant warfare until most of the world is ruled by one superpower which eclipses the combined might of every other country, and that does not seem like a desirable outcome.

Meanwhile the Russian and Ukrainian army is checking out the KF war.
Both sides take notes.

you now partly have some understanding of what led to rome dominating the world

Truth of the matter is, principles don't mean shit if you can't defend them.

So all this footage was filmed in the first week?
Al Jazeera = Arabic CNN.

What is it with Ukies tying people up to trees and performing weird BDSM shit on them? Is this a new sideline for the Jew pornographers from their usual rape and pedo porn? Ukraine is the world's leading exporter of sex slaves but c'mon man! Gimme a break!

Chechens will grind themselves into dust. They have been doing it forever. I have to give it to them, they own it....and die in fire owning it.

It's not Pro Russia. You are missing the forest for the trees. They have had a western nation fucking with them since the fall of the Soviet Union. They saw a weak US president and swung for the fences. It isn't deeper than that. Ukraine is a puppet of the west.

If the Russians installed a government in northern Mexico, how do you think the United States would deal with it?

 

[CAPTAIN HAPPY]

Russian worldview is reversed.

All those countries have a reason to view Russia as a potential threat, because Russia's position is "might makes right", and anything that reduces Russia's might, the blinding factor in any negotiation, is a threat.
Russia's so primitive and insecure that any even potential threat must be squashed. very strange indeed.

If everyone followed this, it would lead to constant warfare until most of the world is ruled by one superpower which eclipses the combined might of every other country, and that does not seem like a desirable outcome.

Now that sounds like something that Islamists would like to do though.

Every time.

I don't know what this weirdo is talking about, but I like the word folk because it sounds like fuck.

Democracy these days is mostly just a stamp of approval for the ruling class.

It kind of always was that. Difference is how in tune the ruling class of a country is with it's people. Still, I'd rather my vote something than nothing at all.

 

[stakenifes]

So... do you roll this back when the Donbass regions are the only things annexed/liberated? Like, when Ukraine still exists when this is over do you make this post again saying you support Russia?

1 day left!
3 days left!
18 days left!
41 days left!

I've read some retarded takes in this thread, but this one takes it. You're trying to say are only trying to secure Donbas? Haha. If that were the case, can you at least admit that would be a retarded plan considering:

- they have forces deployed pretty much everywhere to the north, east and south.
- have shelled most major cities
- lost thousands of infantry and vehicles all around Ukraine, despite only trying to take Donbas (apparently)
- been sanctioned to the point they're gonna be fucked for awhile
- been shunned by the world

If in X months/years time, when the wars over, and Russia say 'fuck yeah we got Donbas!', even those losses in the first month would be a cause for celebration? You're brain is very simple mate.

Also breaking today, claims that the Russians are preparing to send in Nigerian rebels to save the white race.

[Getting tard comed]

I'm telling you Putin has made his demands clear. Recognize the Donbaus Republics. Demilitarization. Denazification. No NATO. Change of goverment. My response was a direct reply to someone claiming Russia wants all of Ukraine. Which it doesn't.

Everything else you ssid is either wrong or your pov which obviously Putin(and Xi) don't share. Im kinda amazed how economically ignorant most people are on here regarding sanctions. Or really just basic cause and effect. I'll give you a hint though, forcing your two main rivals to grow closer and remove your main and only effective tool is a bad strategic decision. That is quite literally what the US has done with these sanctions. It's not the whole world that is shunning Russia. It's the US and Europe, the rest of the world is still fine with them, the only power that actually matters is still fine with them.

Nations have interests not morals. If Mexico, a sovereign and independent country, decided to make a military alliance with China which would potentially allow them to base their military on the US border they'd be invaded immediately. Unlike the Russians the burgers wouldn't hold back, being a fundamentally evil people mired in Satanism, they'd murder millions just like they did in Iraq and Afghanistan. The Ukrainians decided to fuck around and now they're finding out.

Speaking of holding back here's an article from Newsweek discussing leaked American intelligence explaining why Putin is conducting the war with kid gloves.

https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/world/putin-s-bombers-could-devastate-ukraine-but-he-s-holding-back-here-s-why/ar-AAVnuAJ?ocid=EMMX

In the analyst's view, though the war has led to unprecedented destruction in the south and east, the Russian military has actually been showing restraint in its long-range attacks.

As of the past weekend, in 24 days of conflict, Russia has flown some 1,400 strike sorties and delivered almost 1,000 missiles (by contrast, the United States flew more sorties and delivered more weapons in the first day of the 2003 Iraq war). The vast majority of the airstrikes are over the battlefield, with Russian aircraft providing "close air support" to ground forces. The remainder—less than 20 percent, according to U.S. experts—has been aimed at military airfields, barracks and supporting depots.

The American way of war is to carpet bomb indiscriminately. To literally bomb their enemy back into the stone age. We saw this first in Serbia where the burgers murdered thousands of civilians. The burgers killed more Serbians in the first day on their attack on Belgrade than the Russians have killed Ukrainian non-combatants in the entire war. Unlike the burgers the Russians seem to be something of a moral if not God fearing people. This is why we must all support Russia in this conflict. America is the hellmouth, populated by disgusting deathfats, troons, faggots and Jews. To oppose America is by definition to be on the side of the beautiful and true.

 

[stakenifes]

The only way Russia will accept getting away with only Dombas, is if it happens soon. Even then, them attacking the country from all fronts for over a month now without negotiating for only Donbas would make Putin and his puppets retarded, too. He isn't like you though, his brain works. He may only want part of Ukraine, but if you're trying to say it's only Dombas, and you're willing to stuck by that, I dunno what to say.

I appreciate you not going for low blows against me though like I did with you though I guess? So thanks.

 

[A_Callow_Youth]

One more pic of the Ropuchas as they bugged out, note the deck fire on the one in the back.

And more video. Note that the secondary starts at the waterline, indicating a hull breach. I'm starting to doubt the claim that they scuttled it. Also observe the dockside fire, likely the fuel depot.

 

[Rezza]

Oh, and if you want some more fun, apparently Russian media put out a puff piece about their operations at the port recently. Reddit move, Vlad.

EDIT: Actually, fuck it, just have the thread I've been pulling some of this from, the shilling is off the charts.

LOL, this is just "WE DID IT REDDIT!!!", Kremlin style


Also interesting

More Twitter video. Fires are out, and I think it's safe to call that one a confirmed kill.

Considering the position and distance, I think it's safe to say the the Russian won't be able to use that port anytime soon

I mean, I'm not surprised. You have chalkboards for writing shit down, plenty of rooms for your various command staffs and logistics departments, space to set up sleeping quarters, it's like a ready-made HQ building. I feel like the Russian propaganda arm is just really trying way too hard to sell the Ukrainian-callousness-towards-civilians angle, as if they're setting up shop while the kids are still attending class.

Yeah, but the Vatnik and Putinbros never think critically, so...

I really want to see Putin being deposed, only to watch how Kadyrov is going mental from it. That man is not even a lap dog, he's just a LARPer

As there's a report they most likely will use the mercs for Rear Echelon stuff, like occupation, I really hope they won't do any of their usual bullshit. Poor Ukrainian man..m
