Russian Invasion of Ukraine Megathread

[Feline Supremacist]

Please explain to me why your people tolerate Putin's yoke.

I'm sure its like how we have to tolerate President Potato in the US.

"Endless columns of the Russian second echelon. The troops go to the largest battlefield of our time - to the Donbass"

well Donbass is the main gate to eastern ukraine, so maybe they go somewhere else.

 

[Lord Edge of Leetworth]

That's a proper word for how many feel.
Anyhow, you see all the colour revolutions going on and see that shit never changes for the best for regular people. Only top brass seems to change.
Makes you think.

I never voted for the guy.

But your question is way more loaded than I care to properly answer, sorry.

By the way, there are a couple of interesting namefags on Russian 4chong: two Ukrainians sitting in Ukraine right now and one Russian guy who fought in 2014 in Donbass. Russian guy went to volunteer again this Thursday.
He gave an explanation about what is considered theft on the battlefield.
All equipment and guns and sometimes pieces of clothing(esp. boots) are considered trophies and are free game.
Anything else, money, jewelry, phones, personal articles etc are a big no-no and are considered theft.

And those Ukrainian fellers report missiles flying above their heads just before any other source does.

Let me unload the question then. Russia's mentality is extraordinarily masochistic. It glamorises a tumultuous history and exalts the people's "noble suffering." It fetishises The Patriotic War while its aged veterans lived in utmost destitution. It blames the entire world for its problems while using them as a scapegoat to bolster Putin's cruel crony regime that leads to poverty, violence, brain drain and suffering. How can anyone in their right mind tolerate this?

Please explain what specific steps can be taken to rectify the situation.

Maybe because choosing not to tolerate it could will result in imprisonment and/or death.

But i think author of this pic is wrong in one thing - russia is not necropolis, russia is ermor.

Question, isn't most of the dumbass already under ruski control? I don't remember quite well.

Cities are under control, but not the regions around them.

93% of the Luhansk region and 54% of the Donetsk region are under Russian control.

Here is detailed information about all controlled and destroyed objects.

"The Brazilian mercenaries are located in the Kyiv Hotel (26/1 Mikhail Grushevsky Street) in front of the Verkhovna Rada building."

Tupi Report 🇧🇷

🇧🇷🇺🇦 The Brazilian mercenaries are located in the Kyiv Hotel (26/1 Mikhail Grushevsky Street) in front of the Verkhovna Rada building.

t.me

He was also present when that military base with foreign mercenaries got bombed back into stone age on the 6th of March.
Who needs enemies with friends like that.

How can anyone in their right mind tolerate this?

Because while I consider the average Russian to be barely equivalent to a beast of the field, saying 'dude just overthrow your dictator lmao' is a negative IQ take, especially considering Russia's pretty much entire history of being under a boot, whether it's a tsar, communist, or banana aficionado.

It fetishises The Patriotic War while its aged veterans lived in utmost destitution. It blames the entire world for its problems while using them as a scapegoat to bolster Putin's cruel crony regime that leads to poverty, violence, brain drain and suffering. How can anyone in their right mind tolerate this?

Yeah and American MO is to stuff themselves with burgers being fat and supporting the current thing. Gosh, I love generalizing whole nations.
It's more complicated than you think and it not my job to tell you. Especially not in the environment with people with the most vanilla pro-western takes on Russian history and consider Solzhenitsyn a historian and not a fiction writer who was butthurt about USSR his entire life.

lmao nigga you think any other country isn't as, if not more, hypocritical? That the US doesn't fetish every war, and there have been several, just in the past 100 years, that it engages in? That our veterans aren't living in the streets, destitute and in ill health because the VA can't seem to provide even basic care for them? That it doesn't try to bend the rest of the world to its will? I mean its like you don't understand our elections have been rigged since the days of Boss Tweed and that politicians who were literally bankrupt mysteriously retire as multimillionaires, even billionaires? Like how many kilos of cocaine are you shoving up your nose, or cocks up your ass?

Don't answer the last one, I already know.

Russia is just banana republic with nukes and russian are vodka niggers.

I don't have any such specific steps. Is that a good excuse to keep the status quo?

Maybe because choosing not to tolerate it could will result in imprisonment and/or death.

Oh yeah that's terribly frightening when your children and friends are sent to die for an old man's vanity while you barely make your ends meet.

They had instances like the Novgorod Republic where proto-democratic systems of government lasted for centuries. Somehow they actively choose to be the cattle of Europe nowadays.

You spout Putin's whataboutist playbook without realising it. I'm not glamorising America I'm talking about Russia. You can point fingers at others when they call you out all you like. All I see is that you're incapable of answering the question in good faith.

I never said you were, I gave you an equally retarded example. Others are already responding with surface level answers, you'll have to be sated with that.

Russia drops the hammer

How will Ukraine ever fucking recover from this?

"What a hose!"

 

[Borscht]

Yes because neither do we and yet you say we are supposed to change it... Somehow. I would be out there doing more than what I am doing now if I knew what would actually help.

Oh yeah that's terribly frightening when your children and friends are sent to die for an old man's vanity while you barely make your ends meet.

Yes, yes it is, becuse they are not sending you to a Siberian gulag or beat you bloody. They fine you 300$ each time you go to protest, which is about 1/4 of an average Russian's income on a good month, 1/2 on a bad one or your entire paycheck if you are working a minimum wage job at Michey Dee's... Which, by the way, is no longer available because Micky Dee pulled out. These 300$ quickly add up.

That makes you unable to meet the ends at all. Hello homelessness. And it's not Florida type of homelesness where you can chill out under the orange trees the entire year, we get actual winter here.

They had instances like the Novgorod Republic where proto-democratic systems of government lasted for centuries. Somehow they actively choose to be the cattle of Europe nowadays.

Yeah, it got stomped out and trampled flat 700 years ago and that's all she wrote. There went our first genuine attempt at democracy. They did not choose to get trampled by the tzarist streltsy.

You are a bit late with this, but you reminded me that there was a continuation.

The guy is free and claims that the video was fake and it was a provocation to discredit him:

It was a prank, bro?

It's big talk and I'm sure lots of people there grumble like this in private, but in their position I doubt you would actually do anything about it.

Can anybody please translate? And does anybody know what country/region that flag is?
