Russian Invasion of Ukraine Megathread

[Gauf]

French President Emmanuel Macron said that he considers unacceptable the recent publication of a cartoon on the Twitter page of the Russian Embassy in Paris, and hopes that this will not happen again in the future. He said this at a press conference following the EU summit.

As reported by the France-Presse news agency, the French Foreign Ministry drew attention to cartoons published on the embassy's Twitter page ridiculing European solidarity and relations between Europe and the United States.

So which gives a more honest portrayal of the war, the Oval Pawffice or the Kyiv Independent?

 

[The Foldless Brain]

"We only wanted Donetsk and Lugansk, honest" is either a "we totally aren't going to invade" lie to fluff things out or a prelude to the most embarrassing climbback of all time where Jewtin settles for shit he already had after getting sanctioned to hell and back and goes home to get palace coup'd. Given that he already took Kherson which is outside the region and that it's only been a month the former is much likelier.

Well the Ukraine wasn't accepting his peace term deals, so he obviously hasn't taken enough cities. That's how it works in games of Civilization.

Oh, and the AI keeps telling you he is about to win even as you are firing at his last city, much like Zelensky.

I really feel for the poor intern who has to write this shit. Imagine shelling out 100k+ for a top college, kissing every Dem machine boss ass, and working countless campaigns, and this is what the job Brandon's Chief of Staff gives you. Sad!

Pajeets are taking advantage of the war to shill their shit lmao.

It's kind of smart though. The US doing this has pretty much opened up a massive new market for alt-tech and banking. The countries who jump into that opening the fastest are going to reap the best rewards. Let's say the Chinese open up a counterpart to Mastercard and Visa. People looking to get away from western services will likely switch over to the first counterpart on the market. After they switch over, it's very unlikely that they'd then switch again unless somehow prompted to do so.

If Russia ever did decide to nuke us and managed to survive, they could probably make a compelling case before the international courts that it was justified because of the Oval Pawffice account.

 

[Borscht]

What do you mean "Let's say"? It's called UnionPay and Russians will be forced to get it once their current Visas and Masercards expire. The new cards actually double as Mir AND UnionPay.

 

[bread n circuses]

It'd be a piece of cake if Germany wasn't a punk bitch who wants to (((do business))) instead of securing their low wage laborer territories.
Literally every problem that Europe has ever dealt with was because of Germany. Unironically.

Europe’s problem is that the good decent people of northern, western, and Southern Europe are lumped together with subhuman polacks, hohols, vatniks, Balkan-turks, Magyar Asiatic rape babies, gypsy thieves, and other assorted east European trash.

Russia should just conquer the region and reinstitute brutal Leninist Bolshevism, it’s what they all deserve.

 

[NynchLiggers]

I don't think the Vatniggers will stop. This sounds less like a scalling back and more of a "we are totally winning guyz" thing.

 

[A_Callow_Youth]

I don't think the Vatniggers will stop. This sounds less like a scalling back and more of a "we are totally winning guyz" thing.

Also a possibility, Putin is stuck between pulling back and getting egg on his face now or pressing on and hope he doesn't get the whole carton. If the Russian declaration turns out to be a nothingburger, then revert to my previous predictions.

Well, I mainly mean one that's marketed outside of just China and the areas directly around it. In those regards, India could potentially catch up.

 

[Airless]

It's sort of like how Japan doesn't have 'aircraft carriers' but maintains several Izumo-class helicopter carriers that could be easily modified to launch F-35s. Very coy about their capabilities those Japanese.

They did the same thing pre-WWII with the Mogami class cruisers. Classic Japan

Pretty much. Hence why the shady things the Allied powers did during WWII went unpunished for the most part

Sometimes it would be so bad that Axis leaders would be cleared of war crimes since the allies were worse. See also, the Laconia incident

No, it's actually someone who is currently in that college, with a rather cushy internship. It leads to even cushier jobs in a career in politics or PR. Working directly for POTUS is a big deal. They probably still have to work at Starbuck's or drive for Uber if they're not a trustafarian, but they're doing well. It's not like working for a campaign in a district where the other party is guaranteed to win. If I know Joe, he's probably smelling that girl's hair tho.

Every goddamn turn

 

[MadStan]

Well, you know if the campaign doesn't go quite as expected that doesn't mean Putin has to accept failure. He can just lie about it...

Look closely at that cat's expression, he is clearly saying:
"HALP I AM BEING HELD HOSTAGE, I AM BEING FORCED TO REPEAT PROPAGANDA!"

Nah. They wanna be politician slime, they deserve to kiss asses and eat their masters' shit.

 

[kuuu]

Who said that Russian army will stop?
Only one of it's missions will be soon accomplished: securing LDPR territory.
Ukraine still has active military, their "we ain't no nazis, we wuz jews" President and they don't plan to surrender.
So demilitarization, de-nazification and Ukrainian neutrality are still goals to be reached.

Every goddamn turn
