Russian Invasion of Ukraine Megathread

[mr.moon1488]

Yeah that's true.
But now imagine if that same number of Russian nukes fell on Ukraine.

Nobody wins in a nuclear exchange.

>Nobody wins in a nuclear exchange
Roaches have high resistance to radiation. Turkey would become a global hyperpower overnight.

 

[Spicey McHaggis]

Just like your guns, never give up your nukes... especially not for a nation that actually used them before in war.

In ukraines case it was more like giving up guns that had the essential parts missing. Yes, it's still technically a gun, but you can't actually use it.

The reason why not a single nuclear power dares push the button is not for mutually assured destruction, but because Turkey would be the only country left and that cannot be

and then the Mexican duel begins.

Just because you're making gains doesn't mean you're not in need of ammo.

Just saying, this is the amount of shit the Soviets got from Lend Lease, if you're going by the "Wanting more stuff means you're losing," Germany was kicking Soviet ass in 1943, 44, and 45, but was failing in 1941 and 42.

A few Armenians would probably also survive just out of pure spite to the roaches. They would immediately start complaining the nukes were also turkey's fault.

Who is this guy in the video, and where is the sentient homunculus?

Got the context:

---

A Russian tank hit Ukrainian militants at point-blank range.

A tank of the Russian army hit a group of Ukrainian militants from the so-called territorial defense at point-blank range.

Apparently, the Ukrainians took the vehicle as their own. The tank crew also identified the enemy at the very last moment, but nevertheless managed to open fire.

From what I've seen, this is a common problem when soldiers approach each other face to-face, ask whose army they belong to, a second of surprise, and then the Mexican duel begins.

One of his buddies I assume. No clue about the mutant, maybe he didn't want to freak out people and make them think the Russians had dropped nukes.

What is it with poor people and burying tires half way underground?

Its taking hard to recycle waste and turning it into a 50/50 mix of modern art and a single seat anti-homeless park-bench, making "save the environment" post-modern bugmen scream in ecstasy.
Also comparatively child/retard-friendly since its genuinely hard to hurt yourself using a soft, round and halfway buried tire, compared to a metal or even wood bench.
So if the next Chris is banging his head into one, no harm is done, neither to the tire, nor the retard.
Also, unlike metal benches (that can be sold for scrap), nobody is going to ever bother stealing one, hence the popularity with poor folks.
All in all beats using them for this.

Wasnt the OG deal something like usa telling ukraine "give us your nukes and we will protect you bro"? I mean, in a way they are flooding ukraine with a shit ton of weapons and explosive shit but they sure ain't jumping in directly to save the princess from the bear.

 

[Feline Supremacist]

No, people here had just brought up the Ukraine used to have nukes shit again. Bit weird that you're the first to cry about anyone going after Russians, yet go full blown genocidal on the ukies just because a random forum person suggested they shouldn't have given up their nukes.

Anyone advocating for the release of nuclear weapons against Russia, USA or China deserves to be wiped off the face the earth, before they wipe everyone else off to own the enemy du jour.

It's not just a KF forum poster, its been floating on pro-Ukrainian sites all over the internet. It's the natural progression from the self inflicted owns of lack of fuel to lack of food and now let's blow up the world, or at least a good chunk of it.

 

[Frisk]

There's really no such thing as a few good hits when it comes to nukes, a single megaton nuclear warhead is enough to turn most of a city into rubble and assuming it's MIRV and most the warheads hit the same city it's safe to say everyone in that city is dead or will be soon from radiation.

Even if Ukraine only had twenty nuclear missiles and sixty warheads each consisting of around a single megaton, say bye to basically every significant Russian city.

These are nice hypotheticals but under the current circumstances one nation would be barbecue'd alongside RF.

And no. No anti-missile defence systems, no patriotism nor hope would stop that from happening if bombs fall.

So please, when you sit hypothesising about nukes, do not forget that we would die together with all the Russians.

Why can't a nigga get a second of peace?


The monument to Pushkin, located in the center of Uzhgorod, was renamed in honor of the French singer Joe Dassin. Letters with a mention of Pushkin were sketched on the pedestal and replaced with the inscription "Joe Dassin". A photo of the bust in its new version was published by the local newspaper. The author and date of the inscription are unknown.

It was mainly us giving them money for them to give them back to Russia and both us and the Russians saying we'd guarantee their security in some nebulous way.

Great, except those nukes were given up over two decades ago. It's absolutely fucking psychotic to suggest that they all be genocided for saying maybe it was a bad idea. I've already explained a few pages back why it was a good idea for them to give them up, but no shit that sentiment is going to be going around in a country currently involved in a war.

This is one of the reasons I argue that if Japan had waited at least another year to launch Pearl Harbor, there were probably better than 50/50 chances of the Axis winning WW2.

 

[Fougaro]

VOR giving his take on the Russians' attempt at taking Kevin.

TL;DW: Basically what he said in earlier videos. The main objective was to take Kevin, decapitate Krusty the Clown's regime and thus arguably speedrun this war. A very high risk and very high reward spedop that VOR claims he himself, especially with the advantage of hindsight, would have not done. Diverting Ukrainian forces from the Donbass and the south was a secondary objective that became moot once the first one failed. Ultimately Russia abandoned the northern theatre by recognising it as a sunk cost.

Saying that it was a diversion is both correct and a cope at the same time, leaning towards the latter (~25/75).

They ever teach you Cold War oldfags the difference in sound between soviet artillery and babushka doing laundry?

If they waited on that, and Germany waited on Russia, shit might have been very different.

Haha no. Russia was in the middle of a massive military modernization and build up. If they couldn't do it then, they certainly couldn't do it a few years down the line.
