Oh, if you need help understanding Ukrops' seething hatred for anything Russia, maybe I can help.

Attached is the picture of Polish Mr. Big for the past 7+ years: Jarosław Kaczyński. Dude unofficially holds pretty much every important political office, but officially is but a deputy CEO of Polish Duma equivalent, which means he's unaccountable for anything stupid he orders. He got promoted to all this because in 2010 his idiot twin brother, who was the president at the time, ordered the plane he was on to land in thick, sight-obscuring fog. His voters came up with the idea that it was not an arrogant mistake that cost the lives of 100 VIPs, but that Vladimir Putin personally shot down the plane with AA. Yes, they still believe it to this day. I bet Ukrainian politics are equally corrupt and retarded.

Kaczyński translates roughly to Ducklike. His mortal political enemy is named Donald Tusk. The Pythons couldn't make up this crap, man.

Just stopping by to drop some bad news for the "China can salvage this" camp -

China has put 3 of its largest port cities under a more-or-less indefinite COVID lockdown. They're at the point now of people potentially starving due to how shut down they are. Personally, I think this is just the transition stage to them going hermit kingdom again (better to be poor and stable than rich and face political destabilization by a nascent middle class) but whatever the case - China is closed for business.

There will likely be no Chinese involvement at all.

This is just anecdotal, but I’m very bewildered by what is being reported in China versus what I’ve heard from my in-laws. We talk to them daily and their grocery store is still open, not a mask in sight, and they haven’t openly complained about what is going on in the big cities - not that I think they would be willing to over WeChat. But their lives seem completely unaffected by the COVID outbreak. They lived under much harsher conditions back during the initial outbreak in early 2020.

China is very fucking weird. If we find out six months from now that there’s an internal struggle going on with the CCP and it’s various dogshit cliques in these major cities, I wouldn’t be surprised. If not, someone is getting executed, because these lockdowns are incredibly retarded.

Or that China's reaction to COVID was, and still is, just a way to get the idiot leaders in the West to do the same.

Shenzhen is always my go-to for watching what the rest of the mainland is actually dealing with. They have lighter restrictions/more rope there than most other places but if production in that city plateaus or declines, there are big troubles ahead.
 
Couple of weeks ago they were claiming Russians saw paved roads and street lamps for the first time. Not kidding.
I've heard stories about Red Army steppe bumpkins arriving in Poland at the tail end of WW II. They allegedly didn't know what a wardrobe, toiler or bathtub were and would sleep on the thrown-down wardrobes, shit in the tub and desalt herrings in the toilet. One guy supposedly told them dude we shit in there, not wash our food but dude shrugged and kept doing it.

But seriously how come you don't know what an electric light or paved road is if you had to be driven to Ukraine in some APC in the first place?
 
Is there even any confirmation the ship sunk?
Not that I've seen. Modern aircraft carriers are a lot tougher than you guys think. There's also a lot of time and effort put into designing munition handling and storage procedures that take into account being attacked. If that picture someone posted earlier is accurate, it's only a bridge fire.

Edit- I misread that it's not a carrier.

Its neither an Aircraft Carrier nor is it modern. Its a Soviet shitbox that was struck from the lists in the 90s only to be put back into active duty since Russia has no capability of building new ships.

Slava-class missile cruiser Moskva, not the Moskva-class helo-carrier Moskva; that one doesn't carry nearly as many missiles, mostly ASW & air-assault shit.

Even if the warheads don't detonate, those racks of SS-N-12s have more than enough fuel to burn the thing underwater.

I mean unless the Russian MOD statement was mistranslated they themselves were saying it was an ammo detonation. It's also a cruiser, not a carrier.
 
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.
They could do it on their own time away from my work area where I don't want Me and my team to get blown away. Suck my Dick
 
Pros of Zelensky meeting a Kalibr in the next few days as per the threats;

1) We don't have to read shit like this anymore
2) "I can't breathe" edits
3) Reddit meltdown over Ukraine's now basically non-existent AA protection and their hero dying

Cons:

1) He gets turned into a martyr and we have to read about the brave and stunning Z man who brought the fight to the Russian subhuman hordes for the rest of our lives

What do you guys think is the correct procedure here?

The picture wasn't for the ship in question, it was the Admiral Kuznetsov which was damaged in a fire back in 2019. The ship that was supposedly hit was a cruiser named the Moskva. I feel like it's going to turn out to be a flash fire from someone mishandling ammunition. I say this mainly because there are other Russian warships in the area and they would have certainly glassed the area with their own surface to surface missiles as soon as the missile was fired. Also worth noting is that the tards screaming about it being the flagship of the Russian navy are indeed retarded. It's the flagship of the Black sea fleet which is one of the smallest fleets in the Russian Navy and is only really meant for coastal operations since the Montreux accord makes investing in a major fleet in the black sea kind of pointless. The Moskva only has a displacement of 12,490 tons. A Kirov class has a displacement of 24,300 tons and there are several of them in the Northern Fleet.
