Russian Invasion of Ukraine Megathread

[MindYourSeabiscuits]

I mean that is one idea, another is they thought they could take the capitol (breaking the chain of command is a game changer) but realized they were in over their head and retreated. The retreat from their position is not an error, the error occurred by using Belarus as a forward base of operations to push into Kyiv from the north it was clearly too ambitious.

Where's the evidence of this? Surely if that was the case there would be plenty of videos of the Russians being routed and running away in fear or the surrounding areas of Kiev would be littered with Russian corpses. Where are those? Where is the evidence that the Ukrainians drove them off?

Well, there is plenty of the second. The first not so much

Actually those are ukrainian corpses posed by MI6 and the reptilians to frame the russians for being really shit at war.

Its the well known reverse-bucha-bussy tactic

Retreat is not rout.

It's really obvious that they were never trying to capture Kiev with that force, there was very little fighting around there, it's just what the western media was focusing on instead of the Donbas and Mariupol where the actual fighting was happen.

I mean, it's obvious to people who aren't spazzing out about Russia every 2 minutes

Pretty sure they'd have loved to scare Kiev into surrendering, so they sent enough troops in right quick to frighten the Kievbros, but not enough to do much else.

What surprised me is how they didn't try to capitalize on their blocking positions around Kiev to properly close off the city. They'd need more men for that, but they're only about a couple hours away in Belarus. Belarus may be trying to maintain its limited independence from this shitshow, but it hasn't spared them from any sanctions or CIA glowops to kill their president so idk. Besieging Kiev gives them extra negotiating leverage, if they wanted that. Probably an incredibly dumb idea to actually invade the place against entrenched defenders. Also might be interesting to see if Zelensky is still there (I assume his greenscreen videos, supposed meetings with visiting dignatories, are in Lvov or Poland). Maybe he isn't, and Russia realized it'd be futile to cut off a massive city whose government is safely elsewhere and doesn't care all that much about how many peons die.

For whatever reason, Russia is still trying to do this thing on the cheap with more or less the same army they went in with, which on paper is vastly outnumbered by the heroic Ukrainian supermen. No actual declaration of war, no general mobilization, no significant waves of reinforcements (that we've seen?) and no attempt to expand this year's conscription goals in case they need to backfill. That's a sign of either serene confidence or incredible hubris.

Russian leaders don't seem dumb to me, tho individual Russians can be dumb and their endemic corruption and laziness has cost them a lot. Putin and his sidekicks obviously know things we don't, and I don't think they can afford to lose this war now (Putin would be Saddamed), so they probably won't. Maybe that explains the sudden LOOK OVER HERE! MASSACRES! gayops on Ukraine's part - note that while Westerners are furiously masturbating over predictions of 6,000,000 dead Russians, nobody's talking about Ukie casualties, which by any sane calculation have got to be horrific.

NO.

After reading someone try to justify the use of child fondling in the defence of the white race I am never returning to monke

They've destroyed the vast majority of Mariupol's forces and are preparing to do the same in the Donbas which is where the majority of Ukraine's forces are.

The Kiev shit was never anything beyond a feint to distract the Ukrainians and keep them from reinforcing the troops in the Donbas by forcing them to spread their forces thin to guard too many areas.

It's really obvious that they were never trying to capture Kiev with that force, there was very little fighting around there,

So what exactly is stopping the Ukrainian forces that were around Kiev and other areas the Russians are leaving, which are still intact due to there being almost no fighting in your words, from doing exactly what the supposed feint was intended to stop them from doing in the first place ?

When those forces start making their way to the eastern/southern front that has been practically static for the better part of a month is the Russian air-force suddenly going to start not being shit and keep them from joining the fight ? Even all the civilian vehicles that will be ferrying infantry and light weapons across the enormous country ?

Right, I must have missed that chapter in art of war which said "send a bunch of your men into a meatgrinder and have them dig around for weeks in radioactive mud to own da globohomo"

Also is it bullshit western propaganda that russia has thus far failed to win a war on its doorstep against a vastly outmatched opponant after like 6 weeks? Asking for a joyboy.


You know you were actively trying to justify child molestation a page ago right?

Lol given your obvious schizophrenia, I have no doubt that you'll be saying I molested you by the time you end up with a thread here.

It kind of is though.

Uh-huh

Lol alright. Let's look at the logic behind this. You either actually consider this to be molestation and are in spite of this still spamming it on the farms, or you're consciously being hyperbolic about something stupid Putin did over a decade ago. Neither option really says much for your mental stability.

Ya know say what you like about zelensky, he never tried to talk about the virtues of touching children without their consent in preserving western civilisation

You're right it was just a tactical maneuver. I am stupid to think otherwise, Russia has played this war perfect so far truly gods of war.

 

[White_N]

Russian invaders killed the mother of six children (March 14)

In the battles with the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation, the mother of 12 children was killed (March 15)

Forget about Russian necromancers. Ukrainians are able to give birth to children even after death.

 

[MindYourSeabiscuits]

I am stupid

After having to read your posts off and on in this thread for a month, it is nice to finally hear you admit it.

Peskov has Putin's hand so far up his ass you see Putin's fingers wiggle in his throat. And yet today he said "Russia has suffered significant losses in Ukraine".

What the fuck is going on.

View attachment 3154641

A couple possibilities come to mind off the top of my head. The first is that he was attempting to lament the loss of their troops when he couldn't give a solid number. Thus ending up sticking his foot in his mouth and implying more losses than he meant to. The second is that Russia's losses are much closer to the estimates done by the US - or worse the estimates done by Ukraine - than the small number of casualties that Russia's been willing to admit to thus far. However there's only so long that they can conceal this and they're starting to try to slowly brace people for when the lists of dead and wounded that they'll admit to at least double or triple practically over night.

 

[Fougaro]

That's pretty much it, Bosnia may end up being another Ukraine-style proxy war.

It won't. When the Ameroids and the EU fuck off and leave the Balkans to their own devices, then you might see the region healing and fixing itself some shit and not a moment earlier.

It's like you're attempting a threadban speedrun. Sadly I think some have already beat on on that front.

Ah, so russia started a war with the full expectation of there not being any actual fighting. Diabolical.

For whatever reason, Russia is still trying to do this thing on the cheap with more or less the same army they went in with, which on paper is vastly outnumbered by the heroic Ukrainian supermen. No actual declaration of war, no general mobilization, no significant waves of reinforcements (that we've seen?) and no attempt to expand this year's conscription goals in case they need to backfill. That's a sign of either serene confidence or incredible hubris.

"Russia's military ineptitude and inability to get its shit together after over a month is proof of how serene and confident they are"

Russian leaders don't seem dumb to me, tho individual Russians can be dumb and their endemic corruption and laziness has cost them a lot. Putin and his sidekicks obviously know things we don't, and I don't think they can afford to lose this war now (Putin would be Saddamed), so they probably won't.

Uh-huh so "trust the plan" then?
