Russian Invasion of Ukraine Megathread

[Stoneheart]

Yeah I heard on the radio this morning they'd manage to link up with the Nazis, this is kinda sorta maybe confirmation I guess

just let more soldiers funnel into the Kessel.

 

[biozeminadae1]

Hahahahahaha. No. Literally the only time that area is at peace is when an outside power holds a gun to their heads and forces them to calm down, or they get the rare leader who does it. Even then, the peace only lasts until that leader kicks the bucket. They fucking love killing each other in that region, it's not the west fucking it up, it's the locals. Even by eastern European standards, those guys have insane levels of bad blood.

WW1 was literally caused by a Western state invading a Balkan one... There's also the fact that the West, along with Russia, has been playing games in that region since the start of the Eastern question.

One of the most important events is Bulgaria being liberated, then her ethnic territory being cut apart by Britain, Austria and Russia - that's what prompts the Bulgarians into waging war with its neighbors.

France entirely supporting Romania on every fucking claim they have and everything they do versus the other Balkan nations.

Also, the Balkans have been for a long time a never-ending battleground between Austrians, Russians, Hungarians on the one hand and Ottomans on the other... it doesn't seem like the locals got much say...

 

[Peter Piper]

Good news, everyone! The Russkis has lost over 500 tanks now. Great job Putin!



Stalin would have had that manlet faggot Putin raked over the coals in Lubyanka's deepest hole for this fuckup.

 

[Disheveled Human]

This is so amazingly retarded that it boggles the mind. The US and China are economically codependent. China doesn’t only directly trade with the US, China trades massively with the US’s most important trading partners.

America has a service based economy that is deeply reliant on importing cheap consumer goods, it can’t just shrug off trade with China and continue as before. China trades more than the US does in absolute terms, meaning that the US is more reliant on China than vice versa.

You legit have no clue what you’re talking about.

The US makes most of its money off its Military, selling and renting equipment to anyone who's willing to pay good money.

Just ignore that invasion being caused by the Serbian glowie chief funding the assassination of Franz Ferdinand. Or that they start murdering the fuck out of each other the second they get a chance. They had fucking decades of getting their own say, it was called Yugoslavia, and look how that worked out.

 

[Pocket Dragoon]

Indeed. Folks, read The Bloodlands. Seriously.

 

[bread n circuses]

Thanks for this demonstration of economic ignorance

The statement that the US is more reliant on China than China is on the US is the most amusing delusion I've read today and that's saying something when @Getting tard comed was around earlier

The US has multiple options to replace China, starting with Mexico and the continued shift towards other SE Asian countries for cheap consumer imports as has been happening. The US has slowly been reducing its Chinese investments and dependence on Chinese imports while China has done fuck all to reduce its income dependence on Murica

China has no replacement for the American market. There is no market on the globe that can come close to making up for it

US losing China imports would be bad like I said. Compound fracture of the leg bad

China losing American market would be like taking a 12 gauge to the belly from twenty feet

China’s exports as a share of their gdp has halved in a decade, the US is entirely reliant on Chinese machinery, metals, and other manufactured goods, Mexico and SEA combined wouldnt even make up a quarter of the loss and would likely side with China in a geopolitical conflict(in SEA’s case) or stay neutral.

You claiming that China has done nothing to make it less reliant on us money is laughably dumb.

I should have specified these were just strays who people took upon themselves to have it by The place where we're supposed to be The 1st secure point before they get on the base lol lol I'm looking for suicide vests and M f's are trying to make sure the dogs have puppy Chow.

It would be easier to try to explain physics to a monkey than try to explain the bond between some people and animals. If you don't get it, you don't get it.
Maybe some of these folks just want to care for something, and make sure the dogs life is a little better. They can't really improve their own lives in a warzone, but giving some love and comfort to an animal is something they can do.

Black Hand was not sponsored by the Serb government. The assassination was possible due to happen-stance, anyway, not because they knew what they were doing. Also, Austria took Serb gains from the First Balkan war. The Austrians were itching for any reason to start a war with Serbia.

Yugoslavia was a mistake since day one. Serbia should have been left to its own devices and develop with its ethnic homogeneity, instead of pulling Croats and Slovenes with them - people who haven't had their own state for nearly a thousand years.

I don't understand exactly what your problem is - all Balkan nations wanted to be the great empire of South-East Europe. In all honestly, the cruelty exhibited in attempts to accomplish that goal pales in comparison to any Western atrocity.

 

[Fougaro]

Hahahahahaha. No. Literally the only time that area is at peace is when an outside power holds a gun to their heads and forces them to calm down (...)

>insists on keeping the artificial borders that were mostly drawn by a communist dictator who intended to fuck everyone (except the Slovenes) as much as he could
>tries to keep Bosnia barely alive by forcing people that can't stand each other to live together against their will at gunpoint
>refuses to even entertain an actual permanent solution to the problem by letting Bosnia be carved up as Sloba and 2Đ-Man originally intended
>continues to further fuck things up by causing political instability for the sake of virtue signalling
>destabilises the Balkans even further by directly assisting Shiptar narcoterrorism and trying to meme Kosovo into a country
>fucks things up further by allowing the Macedonian Shiptars to take the entire country hostage instead of either letting them split off or alternatively letting these two people fight it out once and for all
>continues to be retarded by perpetuating existing problems and shit that the locals will eventually have to eat instead of letting that region simply heal itself
<Why are these Balkan people such bloodthirsty savages that can't wait to kill each other?
A very good question actually.

KEK, those stories.

China would win since America has niggers. No country with a case of niggers or jews ever amounted to anything in the end and the US has both diseases in spades with an added bonus of spics.

Problem is, there's plenty of people with the characteristics of both in China.

Meet the MOZART group: The counter to Russia's infamous WAGNER group mercenaries.

Naming themselves after another classical composer is gay. I'd expect that kind of shenanigans during the cold war, but now?

A reminder that this is how they treat Femen and its ilk in both Russia and the Ukraine right outside their front door.

Any of the former Warsaw pact countries could they all have decent ammo manufacturing capabilities.

Yeah I'd assume they'd be willing to stop commercial ammo shipments, but ammo backlogs are pretty bad from what I heard last year.
Way back there was an ammo plant in Donetsk and the Ukies had to blow it up, Poroshenko announced a new one would be build in 2017 but haven't heard anything since.

China can't even feed it's own people because it's retarded. It pisses off people too much and the food imports go poof. Then you have 500 million dead chinks and the people in charge are spitroasted for food. The chinks may be brainwashed but they will flip their shit real quick if they don't have eggs to marinate in little boy piss.

 

[Feline Supremacist]

And we could stop exporting to China, especially all that food. Works both ways.

We barely have any manufacturing in the US. There are no more steel plants. Perot warned us but we didn't listen.

Indeed. Folks, read The Bloodlands. Seriously.

It's a start but its not the last word; does it go into detail about Stepan Bandera, a person the Ukrainian government lionizes as a great hero and patriot but also a person the Nazis gave free rein to? I get the Stalin hate but he's just one actor in a wide field of bad actors.

KEK, those stories.

[DumDum Did Nothing Wrong]

Meet the MOZART group: The counter to Russia's infamous WAGNER group mercenaries.
"A former US Special Forces commander has set up a military training centre in Ukraine aimed at passing on his, and other veteran's, frontline experience. The ex-US commander Colonel Andrew Milburn was the first US Marine to lead a Special Operations Task Force during the war against the so-called Islamic State and is now set on training Ukraine's Special Forces in the military skills they lack. Col Milburn's called his organisation the Mozart Group – a counter to Russia's infamous mercenary firm, The Wagner Group."

Dude is 100% right on Ukraine needing to screen foreign dumbasses coming to fight. No telling how many Reddit jannies got troops killed.

TLDR, this war:

 

[MindYourSeabiscuits]

@NevskyProspekt Very well said, the thing that always struck me about videos of cities in Eastern Europe is how clean they tend to be, compared to America where even middle class suburbs have litter all over the place. The towns put flowerbeds around and then people just throw trash into them.

lol Mozart group just doesn't have the same cachet as Wagner, let alone their history. They don't train reddit troons, they're a PMC with experience. And sledgehammers.
