Russian Invasion of Ukraine Megathread

[Spicey McHaggis]

That has to be ironic. It hits too many consoomer memes spot-on to possibly be real.

Please tell me it's ironic.

I want it to be, but it's reddit. I give it 50/50 odds. Fuck, reddit really has caused me to lose faith in humanity.

Honestly I'm curious if any large nation could actually pull that off successfully. I have my doubts.

All I know is that Ron Paul is popping a boner at the thought that someone is mad enough to do it.

"We don't need bread, as long as Banderas isn't here" — Mariupol residents about Ukrainian nationalists who kept the city under their control for a long time

A resident of Mariupol shared with the special correspondent Readovka his opinion about Ukrainian nationalists — according to him, they had to survive from Ukraine back in 2014, — for 8 years they managed to prepare, bring a lot of weapons and ammunition.

"The Bandera man says: "I don't need bread, so long as there are no Muscovites here," and we answer: "we don't need bread either, so long as there are no Banderas here," the Mariupol resident said.

Probably in a bullshit usury way. Yes, our money is backed in gold. No, you can't trade your paper money in for gold flakes. Which, TBF, we can't trade our money for oil.

Must be because of all the bile, and not taking the calls is not an option, Macron is a president.

Aren't most of Azov either dead or trapped in Maripol? According to the map, most Russian sources they have broken the central military command structure of Ukraine and the remaining Ukrainian fighting forces are autonomous. Idk how that true that is, but I tend to believe the person who hasn't been outright lying to me for the last month over the person who has.

But fair enough, if the war ends and they agree to peace and the Donbaus Republics lies are recognized, Chrimea and that peace of land north of it that controls the water supply to it is Russian, Ukraine agrees not to join Nato nor have any bases/labs of Nato in its borders, BUT Zelenskys goverment stays in charge, Ukraine still claims to have a military, and Nazis are still roaming the wild streets of Ukraine I guess it's fair to say Russia lost and it was all for naught.

A sizeable chunk of azov split off before the encirclement of Mariupol according to themselves. Expect to see more shenanigans and likely another Islamic warcriminal versus nazi warcriminal rematch.

A pity you can't turn in the old gold/silver certificates for bullion anymore, some are still floating around.

Because medical supplies won't stop Russia from capturing all the people involved with Joe Biden's treasonous activities in the Ukraine.

I don't think that matters. It already emerged before the election that Joe was laundering bribes thru his worthless crackhead son and the media just ignored it. What do we think would happen if receipts came out of Kyiyiv - the FBI arresting him? I'm sure they'll get right on that, lol

Oh shit, maybe a 40 year old drone won't get to crash in another NATO-aligned capital again.

Saudi Arabia and UAE leaders ‘decline calls with Biden’ amid fears of oil price spike

I love the begging plaque on this article. It starts with "Thank you for joining us from Russia. Russia’s invasion of Ukraine has abruptly transformed the world. Millions have already fled. A new Iron Curtain is grinding into place..."

And ends with "Support the Guardian from as little as $1 – it only takes a minute. If you can, please consider supporting us with a regular amount each month. Thank you." with links to fucking Visa, Mastercard, American Express and Paypal.

YOU BANNED ALL THESE PAYMENT PROCESSORS HERE MOTHERFUCKERS! I COULD NOT PAY YOU EVEN IF I WANTED TO!

Well, is Biden a president?

 

[mudwogg]

Interesting. Bit too optimistic for my tastes given how badly the VDV bungled their job.

A recurring detail I noticed from these "war analysts" is that they expected things to go like Iraq 2003.

Going to use this as an excuse to show off how the Prowler, the aircraft that was replaced by the Growler, is one of the best looking aircraft of all time, I just love the aesthetics of late 60s-mid 80s aircraft in general.

After hearing media reports of a "crowdfunded" militia, involving mobile units with NVGs on quads/bikes, deploying bomb-laden and reconnaissance UAVs, I found their website, and noticed I cannot find mention of Aerorozvidka on kf, yet.

They have a youtibe channel too:

Well Ukraine is the breadbasket of Europe, so that means We will have a global food shortage.

The A6 somehow manages to be uglier than sin, yet beautiful at the same time. They really are just weird little beasts.

Looks like another typical grifter NGO, their job seems to consist of posting on western social media.

So basically if Brie Larson tells Putin to stop, he'll start crying and say "not Brie!" This seems like it has to be a troll.

I hope so, I really do. But, you know, reddit....
