Russian Invasion of Ukraine Megathread

[Spicey McHaggis]

Seems like Neo Nazis really didn't put much thought into Public Relations and decided to achieve the real life equivalent of a Call of Duty addicted edgelord gamertag from the 2000s.

Speak for yourself, beating the shit out of lefty UcucKs sounds like pretty good pr to me.

Russia and Ukraine should make war music just like Yugoslavia.

don't forget to turn on the subtitles.

This wars lack of quality hardbass has been a bitter let down.

I've explained it before but gonna do it again. The cherbobyl event generated significant localized Fallout in the immediate vicinity of the plant. This Fallout was not normal either. It was literally the ash of an open, burning nuclear reactor. That ash will emit lethal radiation for the next 300 years, minimum. Thankfully for humanity, it's not hard Gamma radiation that can go through everything but the much more easy to manage beta wave type radiation which is easily blocked and has an ionizing range of around 1 meter.

Beta Waves can be blocked by any sort of barrier. Clothing, cloth mask, or dirt. It was the latter that the liquidators used to neutralize the Fallout. Literally flipping over hundreds of square kilometers in order to bury the Fallout. The closer you are to the plant however the greater concentration and in the case of the Red Forest, which was immediately down wind of Reactor 4, it was not possible to go in and bury the Fallout which means it's still active at the surface level, though by now buried under a thin layer of natural accumulation.

If those soldiers went into that area, with no protection and started digging? Then they literally inhaled the remains of a burning nuclear reactor into their lungs. They are going to die at best. At worst, they won't die.

It is my sad duty to inform you that Ukranian propaganda has failed to stand up to expert analysis once again

"What could possibly go wrong?" except its an entire country.

I'm surprised I still haven't seen the "20-minute adventure" meme with Putin and a VDV beret.

I was told that the entire VDV was destroyed and failed miserably @Joseph Stalin

Russian soldiers drop from sky at edge of Kyiv

The Russian forces came in shooting as they dropped from the open doors of helicopters to gain control of a strategic airport on the edge of Kyiv.

Yeah, ARS isn't going to happen to the idiots who dug trenches in the Red Forest (assuming they actually did), instead they'll likely just die of cancer before they're 60.

Holy shit, they're dropping on it again? What the actual fuck, Vlad? I swear, 7th VDV must have run a train on his daughters or something, how can someone possibly fuck up this hard?

Nevermind, old article. I'd drown you in alarm clocks for getting my murderboner up for nothing if I could.

Joseph is in command. Have no fear, Comrade!

If they hadn't blown their load early, and reserved paratroopers for dropping in an area 10 to 15 miles, 20 tops, behind enemy lines and allowing a breakthrough to take place, while still allowing resupply and reinforcements to get to the paratroopers quickly, they could have used these guys to potentially break some of the stalemates we're seeing.

Imagine if Russia didn't exist

Funny because I saw that exact image as what Russia would look like after years of having no US corporatism.

They have a fuckload of trained paratroopers ready to go.

Honestly he should ask for dirt on other people like Pence or Harris. I'd say Biden too but apparently dropping the n bomb on record isn't enough to get democrats against him

I have been trawling telegram and have found some never before seen photos of the VDV attack on hostomel

About world hunger.

The US removes Russian mineral fertilizer from the list of sanctioned goods.
Russian agricultural exporters approve of increased mineral fertilizer export quotas.

I am sure these two events are in no way at all connected and the EU will totally not starve like Sleepy Jose promised while Russia gets its money and the US gets its harvest.

Having that many doesn't necessarily mean that they're ready to go. No doubt some of them are spread around all of Russia, and I would imagine there's some that would count as reserve units. They also have to keep some in reserve to deal with any separate crisises that come up. That figure also includes more than just infantry, at least according to what the Wikipedia entry has their org chart as.

Damnit, they need to remove Russian firearms from the sanctions list. I've been quite upset about that for a while now. Yes, I know, there's a stereotype about Americans there

Unironically like that pro-Russian anti-west christian Syrian living in the UK. His takes are very much surface level but he often draws parallels and introspection to happenings in the middle east.

So politifact is going around posting this on fb pages that bitch about gas prices. It's an ambitious lie, I'll give them that.
