Russian Invasion of Ukraine Megathread

[Borscht]

Take that back! You know how many young lives were wasted for the glory of this anthem?
And besides, if I'm not mistaken, it uses the Russian national type of guitar, balalaika. It adds this pleasant slavic charm to it.

Balalaikas are ridiculous, have a high-pitched tinny sound and should be relegated to the dusbin of history together with banjos and ukuleles.

Blow the dust off your balalaika, I take my dombra and challenge you to a duel, you tasteless soup!

I love you people

Spoiler: Ackchyually

In between looting and raping, the Russian troglodytes are taken aback by how prosperous and glorious Ukraine's Wakanda is.

Um yeah, I saw that mate that's why I made the post... His comment was "ALEXEI FUCKADOGCHO: "Alyo it is me, Alexei Fuckadogcho, your beloved son. I have stolen this cellphone from a Ukrainian grandmother who I also brutally murdered three times. Anyway, Ukraine is great and Putin (more like 'Poo-tin' amirite?) is a cockroach. Gotta go, the Ghost of Kyiv is here to kill me now. Bye, Mom!"

One sounds a bit exaggerated right? Can you guess which one?

Edit for idiot: just to be clear, he is trying to say the Russian phone call to their parents is fake. Because why would a Ukrainian let a Russian invader make a call? You're retarded.

Friendly reminder that Galicians, whom we now call Ukrainians, are a tribe of crypto Hungarians who subsist on a diet of beet and potato slop and who, after polishing the cocks of Austrian horses for 500 years, were raised to sapience by the Soviet Union

Good morning Vince

Could be worse, you could be Russian

Well at least we can keep our bazoukis under your apocalyptic scenario

VDV giving aid to Chechens. At least I think those armbands are VDV.

Flight update, 2022-03-30 11:33 CET:

- RC-135V Rivet Joint SIGINT aircraft stationed across the Polish border (reg. 62-4130) with Belarus and Ukraine, and across the Romanian border with Moldova (reg. 88-00325).
- E-3 AWACS (reg. LX-N90450) stationed at the Romanian border with Ukraine and Romania (flies between steerpoints in the pattern of the number '8' or the infinity symbol).
- E-8 JSTARS (reg. 95-0121) just flying to the Polish-Ukrainian border right now.
- RC-12X Guardrail (reg. 91-00516) SIGINT aircraft over Lithuania.

Note, my previous reports of C-12/RC-12 Huron or other derivatives of Beechcraft Super King Air 200 over Lithuania were incorrect. This was the RC-12X Guardrail. The BE-20 variants that circle around borders must be RC-12, but there also exist military BE-20 models that are 'only' turboprop transports (that only ever fly from point A to point B). Hopefully this is more useful than confusing.

>how rich Ukraine is
Good lord. The only country in Europe poorer than Ukraine is Moldova best I recall and that is by no means a country you want to be comparable to.

 

[Richardface]

Good to see the Ukrainian contigent enter the thread and immediately dispel all those propaganda myths about Ukrainians being a bunch of low-iq credulous rustics

 

[The Other Baldwin]

Oh good. That WEF twat is weighing in again. It was a false alarm.

I assume, like all post-Soviet republics, Ukraine is actually pretty modern around the major cities, but you get whisked three decades back + greeted with the sight of crumbling commieblocks as soon as you step out of the city limits.

Which, horrifically enough, is still better than Nepal, because Kathmandu is crumbling even within the city.

 

[White_N]

HHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHA omfg.

These people sometimes truly sound like second rate nazis. Their propaganda, style and substance is so much more lame, yet everything bad about the nazi's is still there, just diluted, including a clear superiority complex.

For real, God only knows what is happening inside those people's heads.

I took it from "Social media cringe from the Russia/Ukraine war thread" highly recommend

I don't know, bro, it seems legit.

Galaxybrains still can't explain to me that if decreasing supply of eg. gas is so profitable, then why Russia kept selling it more and more.

This little nigga fled his country so he wouldn't die in a pointless war for oligarchs, but continues the fight on Kiwi Farms by neg-rating anti-Ukrainian points of view.

Little does he know that dislike isn't even a neg-rating and doesn't even affect the already meaningless reaction scores. It's futility stacked on top of futility.

Truth be told, I didn't even know we had reaction scores until I looked it up. lol.

They were actually doing quite well considering they were surrounded by rapist-moldovans, gypsy-romanians, and abusive drunkards.

Selling more is not necessarily the profit maximising outcome.

OPEC - Wikipedia

But anyway the point isn't that Russia hasn't taken a hit, but that the hit is largely offset by the higher commodity price

I spend a LOT of time at the alpaca farm solving efficient frontier and pricing optimisation problems in regards to yarn.

Ok, so back to begging:
1. Why are commodity prices high? Because of limited supply.
2. What happens when peace is struck and gazprom will keep selling gas to EU? Supply increase.
3. What happens when supply increase? Price goes down.

Let's agree that selling more is not always profit maximizing. Then why should Russia sell less gas than before?

Did Russia sold amount of gas that was not profit maximizing before invasion?
