Russian Invasion of Ukraine Megathread

[White_N]

If Putin's throne is not inherited by a dwarf who looks like him, I will be disappointed in the franchise.

Hohols seething that Will Smith slapping Chris Rock is getting more twitter attention than their death rattle of a war. Get ready to see a lot more torture videos from Ukrainians as it's less of a sign of hatred and more of a sign of desperation and the longer this goes on, the more desperate they'll get.

On the flip side, even if the ruskies win tomorrow this is gonna be a huge black stain on them for a few generations. Not even talking about the sanctions, those can be removed with a snap of the fingers. More so about how their ability to maneuver politically will be affected as well as their perceptions on the world stage. It's citizens are also more wary now about how they can have their entire life savings clapped in a few days so expect local divestment.

Age gated now, neither yt-dlp nor invidious are able to bypass it.

ACKSHUALLY if you login to youtube in your browser and then export your cookies for youtube as a .txt file, yt-dlp (and youtube-dl) can use that to bypass the age gate.

More Chechen footage, i love these guys man, they are having so much fun just blowing shit up and shouting god is great.
edit= It appears the second video is actually a mix of Russian and DPR soldiers.

One of these things is not like the other

I wonder if seething so hard starts to hurt after a while...

Also, given public opinion outside of socialist media, I don't believe people pouring into the streets over Nuevo-russia would bring the result he's looking for.

then once the war ends and they can buy parts again

optimistic take. i dont think the sanctions are going away like that. as long as russia annexes or occupies any part of ukraine, they will stay sanctioned.

 

[Borscht]

If they aren't gonna pay Russia anyway he loses nothing by stopping the gas exports lol.

And they never even hinted at removing the sanctions if/when the peace treaty is signed, so the money in European banks may easily stay frozen for another 50 years even if he keeps the gas flowing.

You guys are all stick and no carrot.

Fuck Putin! Curse Russia and its damned...

*shuffles deck*

Necromancers?

Putin assembled the cursed artifact.

Did you make this?
It’s.. beautiful.

Putin also can't afford a full stop on gas exports either. In the end it's just a nothing burger. He tested how far he can go and also stabilized the Rubel for a short while simply, by saying that "they can only pay with Rubel". You can quote me in the next week if I was coping or not.

Someone posted on twitter that Putin issued a statement that all countries who are on his shit list have to pay in rubles as from April 1.
I didn't find another source yet so it might have been his ass. 1 or 2 hours ago Germany rejected Russia's demands.
I guess we'll find out in a few days.

This is great. Vampire's Cowl could be called like Krokodillian Blooddrinker's Hood or something.

It would bring the opposite for him

Remember that most ammo used in war is Full Metal Jacket because more brutal types are banned by the 1899 Hague Convention and other rules. Incindiary and armor piercing are the other two options. Crazy shit like poison tipped, dumdums, talons, explosive tipped, and flechettes are banned because they are too brutal for war lol. Militaries limit do follow these rules most of the time because it'll be used against them otherwise. Israel is a noted exception because they are a nation of sociopaths who shoot Palestinian teenagers with hollowtips for throwing rocks at APCs.

i think following these rules is just a formality that armies do for optics, because in war you'd generally want to use fmj anyway. hollow point and related bullet types are dogshit when your target is wearing military grade body armor (like soldiers in the field often do), these are only really good against soft targets (like the criminals police have to deal with for example)

Yeah. Inspect element (until the devtools crash, thanks firefox) is a powerful shitposting tool.

They didn't sanctioned the Russian banks who handle the gas bills yet, so yes they still get payed right now. Russians are not that generous/retarded that they give us free gas lmao

I think he also pokes out his eye with that knife.

And they cost more per round.

Here is Putin from a few days ago talking about doing it soon, starting with gas, but doesn't mention the first of April, at least not in the subtitles

the sooner these euro cuckolds get cut off from russian gas, the sooner they're forced to find a solution to replace it, and will be better off in the long term
having any critical part of your infrastructure be dependent on foreign imports is fucking retarded and should never be allowed in the first place
