Russian Invasion of Ukraine Megathread

[Wy4M]

It's said this was somewhere in Germany to protest Putin. How can Russia ever recover from this?

For propaganda purposes alone, it's easier to just call them all azov. They have the most recognition by all sides, and when you're claiming your mission is to denazify a place, it's best to pump up the numbers of the most recognized nazis.

But imagine how cool it sounds: "Russian jihaad warriors and DPR spartans killed 126 Urkanian cyborgs." This is some kino shit right here, I tell you hwat.

Well, guess you're just gonna have to hope someone releases a cyberpunk themed game based off this war then.

On the other hand, if Russian forces were bumping into any other battalions like Aidar, we would have seen different documents and insignias. General term used is "nazi battalion". It just so happens that defense of Mariupol fell on Azov's shoulders.
The rest are probably preparing defense somewhere else.
We most probably will see them, whenever cauldron operation is in progress.

"The Iskander strike destroyed the defense headquarters in Kharkov, eliminating more than 100 Ukrainian Nazis and Western mercenaries"

Edit - It seems that this happened on 31 March.

We've seen drones used as weapons, hacking phones to get location data and a guy who was fighting with a prosthetic leg.
It's already cyberpunk themed.

To play devils advocate, it's easy enough to just throw some patches on them and the Russians are more than capable of printing off those documents themselves.

Yeah, it's the exact same spot where 2 weeks ago that volunteer from the US claimed they killed 200 Russians and destroyed about 30 tanks.

copy-pasta:
PROPAGANDA BTFO!!!
So yesterday on Twitter, I posted a video that showed a hot Ukrainian girl [Vita Zaviruha?] walking through a burned out battlezone, talking tough about being in combat — I called bullshit, and said it looked like a fashion shoot. It was my last tweet before I was suspended for a week.
When I saw the video, I thought the setting looked suspiciously like the setting of the James Vasquez videos, where he alleged to have destroyed four Russian tanks — FOUR of ‘em! lol
I couldn’t figure it out — then my Twitter account got suspended, so that took up my attention.
But a fan of my Telegram channel (who shall remain NamelesZ) must’ve suspected the same:
Heavy duty Ukrainian propaganda: Reusing the same location of destroyed *Ukrainian* tanks — claiming they were destroyed *Russian* tanks — then creating multiple propaganda videos.
Anon got inspired and delivered this collage and the videos. So I pass it on to you guys: Is this anon lobotomized, or a brainiac.

Here are three screenshots from the previous three videos — notice that they all have the same electric/telephone pole? You can’t miss it, it’s an all three videos, see for yourself.

copy-pasta: ANOTHER ONE FROM THE SAME LOCATION!!
This one is from the “Belarusian volunteer“ who is supposed to have liberated some village from the Russian invaders — lmfao!! Above are collages proving it’s the same location as the other three videos, above .
Once again, the hattip goes to NamelesZ.

I think it's a typical thing you do when you're winning. amirite?

Now, this is the kind of autism I come here for.

"Another Nazi from Azov used the humanitarian corridor from Mariupol to try to escape from the city. The whole body of him is decorated with swastikas."

The swastika on his right shoulder was probably done by a rabbi.

The funny thing is that's the swastika that looks correct when he checks out his tattoos in a mirror.

It's important that we don't forget who wore the colors first

Holy fuck why are Aryan race purists always the most deformed, rat looking motherfuckers?
This is a rhetorical question, of course.

It's always that way with so-called racial supremacists of any race though. It just seems whites are the most obvious. He looks like his mom downed half a bottle of vodka daily while he was in the womb. Also I hate how these fucks adopt Nordic symbols because I am a Nord myself, and Thor's Hammer is fucking awesome.

Russia won't leave without a win (or a participation award, for that matter), that's for sure. Who knows what they'll pull in the future if they consider they'll have to do riskier moves to get more gains.

However, as much as western media and politicians claim that EVIL ROOOSIA WILL PUSH THE BUTTON SO WE NEED TO PRESS IT FIIIRST, i personally don't think they will (for now, atleast), can't link it rn because i'm busy and can't find it but lavrov (i think?), Made a whole interview about the use of nuclear weapons and nuclear doctrine, basically saying that unless moscow is in the sudden threat of becoming a crater, no nukes will be thrown.
Do russian politicians lie? Lol of course they do, alot, BUT i believe there is some thruth in the desire of not wanting to escalate this into armaggedon, Puding is a nationalist after all, and how can you be remembered by your nation if it ceases to exist because you decided to throw a nuke at Poland or something? Following what i said above about russia having to do more risky shit, using tactical nukes in ukraine could (not saying they will) be a possibility if russia's war gains get low to force Zman to the negotiation table, Even if all of europe and usa wants Zman to fuck their wives, they have no obligation to retaliate militarily against russia directly because of ukraine (because no NATO), they DO if a nato territory gets hit, i Will shit and piss My pants the day i read (russian missile confirmed strike at X nato country) but assuming it's only ukraine that gets the slap, then they don't, really. How would that play out in the end? I dunno, Am i saying this will 2000% happen? No lol. All i'm saying is that i don't see fallout becoming real soon, not yet, atleast.

"I'm not sure that Ukraine, after our special operation, should preserve its sovereignty, like many other small states."

Senator Andrey Klimov urges not to preserve what "is not in Ukraine anyway."

I agree. I take those as seriously as jewelry/money on dead Russian troops. But there were pictures of member lists and membership cards. Which I find much more believable.

I'll say, that's an optimistic map. That northern part.

If people take anything away from this war, it's that everyone is full of shit, without exception

 

[Simpadoo]

Kevin is certainly not being taken now. not without a ton of nukes, which we already said would be utterly insane and unnecessary. the real question, though, is how much of the Ukranian army will still have to be tied up in its surroundings to make sure it doesn't get threatened again, rather than get redeployed further out east to bail out the main forces, that are still holding out there and probably running low on supplies themselves by this point.

Who’s Kevin? Is it a big gay redditor?

 

[K-Hole]

In my small town square in Bongland they have put up Ukie flags. 2 of them. Big.

I guess this means we support the Ukies. Well, not so much as we will send our young to die for them, more like one supports a sportsball team I suppose. Oh well, at least it tells you which way to think, lest wrongthink be on your brain horizon.

Go Ukies!

If Taiwanboos have convinced themselves of that, they're dumb. China wouldn't fight the same way as Russia. To start, they'd create some political excuse to blockade the island and demand some form of surrender, while Chinese assets embedded in Taiwan quickly updated their intel on the locations of Taiwanese defense hardware and troop positions.

Should the Taiwanese government refuse to surrender, the invasion would begin with sustained missile, rocket and artillery strikes to wipe out most Taiwanese defensive capabilities within 48 hours. There will be almost nowhere to hide. The ROC air force and navy would cease to exist in that 48 hours. Some AA can be saved by turning off the radar and hiding, but most will be lost in an attempt to resist the air attack.

Then China has two main options: physically invade now, or maintain a naval blockade and air strikes until Taiwanese decide they love Xi. Depending on how cruel they're feeling, they could easily deny 24 million people on the island food, electricity and water until they're more receptive. There will be no relief, any US carrier group or Jap task force sailing close enough to Taiwan to enter the fight would be well within range of multiple overlapping Chinese defense layers.

The boots on the ground operation itself would be the last resort only undertaken after maximum carnage has already been delivered to the ROC military, it's not easy crossing 100 miles of strait and landing troops and armor on contested beach. Lots of E-1's will be sacrificed for China. But they'll do so with complete control of the air and sea, precision strikes against holdouts, and Chinese fifth columnists causing maximum chaos on the island. It's not gonna be a fair fight, and no amount of preparation and planning can change the outcome unless Taipei gets nukes or something.

So China will attempt to bomb and starve the population into submission and unlike every other historical instance of this happening the Taiwanese will role over and accept it rather than it merely strengthening their resolve against the Chinese ? They might as well just nuke the island at that point if that's their strategy, it would achieve effectively the same result and has a far better chance of actually working.

lol 48 hours, you don't think Ukraine was filled with people feeding intel to Russia about capital military assets right up to and well after they began their campaign to "demilitarize" the country ? How's that worked out so far ?

And where is this assumption that intervening nations are somehow limited to navel assets to "enter the fight" ? Taiwan is well within reach of the Japanese islands and the Philippines for the purposes of any type of air mission targeting the blockade or China itself.

This is pure fantasy just sayin

Also horrible strategy, getting assets in place would not go unnoticed by Japan and the US, then declaring a blockade, giving Japan and the US more time to respond, then finally bombarding the island while your assets are in the Taiwan Strait and ports rather easily found for attack by the US, Japan, and Taiwan, then either invading days after the war starts or still trying to maintain a blockade... just insane. Vietnam would also come in and fight China, basically every country in the region would except Burma and North Korea as a Chinese successful conquering of Taiwan would put China in a position to dictate whatever it wanted to Vietnam/Philippines/Indonesia/Australia.

The lesson taught in WW1 still applies: lengthy bombardments are counterproductive. They never do as much damage as they're supposed to and give the enemy time to move forces to the schwerpunkt. If/when China attacks Taiwan it will be a short, heavy bombardment attempting to surprise and paralyze followed very swiftly - on the same day or the next day - by landing attempts. Anything else is a suicide strategy

Guys.. bad news..

Spoiler: This can't be happening

They say, since there are no bullet holes, it's possible that this was just an accident. Brb huffing copium.
