Russian Invasion of Ukraine Megathread

[IKOL]

2008 you say? Sure is a mystery what might have lowered people's opinion of Russia at around that time...

Saakashvili, re-log in, under your real account this time.

It's kinda funny to hear about the Russians talking about starving out Azovstal when they themselves don't have much food. The Russians have been desperate enough to eat food from a local babushka who served them poison: https://www.independent.co.uk/news/...ldiers-poisoned-civilians-izium-b2049955.html

And guess what country this georgian fuckface went to corrupt even further afterwards?

But nah, must be usual ruskie bs, he was a good boy that dindu nuffin.

As amusing as this is, people generally disapprove of war for reasons other than just liking the leader of the country being invaded. Most of those who opposed the Iraq War weren't exactly fans of Saddam Hussein.

My guy, Soviets weren't fans of Hitler either. Your point?

To be fair, you could disable the US ground forces by targeting these.

But if we go electric you still need those to charge, because you're not going to have grid power. So you can still target the fuel.

Very strangely worded copes coming from the UK glowniggers.

Russian troops have made no major gains in the last 24 hours:
Ok, but Zelenskyeejiuy himself said the Russians captured 42 villages the previous 24 hours. Is the Russian advance supposed to be just a constant blitz 24/7? I'm just a retard on the internet and not a military strategist, but it seems a reasonable tactic would be: Probe for weaknesses -> Attack/take territory -> Solidify control -> Probe for weaknesses -> and so on. These steps would each take some time to complete. As far as I'm aware the only instance where an army has been able to just continue taking big swaths of territory was the initial phase of US invasion of Iraq where they were just driving through the desert where no one could possibly hide and counter attack/defend.

Russian air and maritime forces have not established control in either domain:
Ukraine has no navy, and almost no air force. The Russian navy controls the Black Sea, and the Russian air force has been running air strikes day and night since the onset of the invasion. If the criteria for "establishing control" is that Ukraine no longer has any defenses like anti-ship missiles or MANPADS then yeah, Russia will never establish control because I don't think Ukraine will run out of these weapons. Russia has maintained superiority in these domains throughout the entire conflict though, and I don't foresee anything stopping them from continuing to do so unless the West decides to send Ukraine like 100 F-16s or something.

Despited their state conquest of Mariupol, heavy fighting continues:
As far as I can tell this is a reference to this:

If it's true the Russians have resumed shelling Azovstal, then yes, heavy fighting continues. That fighting is just incredibly one sided because the remaining AFU and Azog are confined to underground bunkers and using children as human shields.

UK MoD has consistently been the most rah rah Ukraine stronk source of information outside of the Ukrainian MoD. If this is what they're coping with I can only assume that the reality on the ground is that Ukraine is currently getting wrecked.

— Check this out. Here we have some Coke-Cola. Let's go figure it out.
Good day. Why is your coke such a separatist?
— Why are you filming me? You think this a circus or something?
— Why are YOU selling separatist cola?
— What's so separatist about it? Just your normal coke.
— WHERE'S CRIMEA? Don't you get it? Where is Crimea on the map?
— Can't you read? It says: "For real patriots". You aren't a patriot or what?
— :deep inhale: Where is Crimea on the map of Ukraine? I don't care what's written there.
— It's not like I drew it there or something. (not completely sure about this part but it doesn't matter that much)
— I want to change it to a normal one.
— I'm not going to change you anything. It's a perfectly normal coke.
— I'm telling you to change it to a normal one.
— This is the coke that we are selling you had already bought it anyway. So what?
— I'm gonna spill it all over the place, you scum.
— The hell you will! Just you try it! Get the hell out! Begone, damned patriot!
— Total inadequacy. Damn huckster. Ruined my trousers, the cunt.

BRUSSELS, April 22 (Reuters) - EU companies may be able to work around Russia's demand to receive gas payments in roubles without breaching sanctions if they pay in euros or dollars which are then converted into the Russian currency, the European Commission said on Friday.

The companies would also need to seek additional conditions on the transactions, such as a statement that they consider their contractual obligations complete once they have deposited the non-Russian currencies.

EU says pay for Russian gas in euros to avoid breaching sanctions​

Things can change a lot in just 9 days.

BRUSSELS, April 14 (Reuters) - Payment for Russian gas in roubles by European Union buyers as demanded by President Vladimir Putin would break the EU's sanctions regime against Moscow, an internal European Commission note said.

Putin has warned Europe it risks having gas supplies cut unless it pays in the Russian currency as he seeks retaliation over Western sanctions for Moscow's invasion of Ukraine.

It's beyond retardation, and you can't even blame globalists since the USA army might as well be their private army.
Imagine disabling the entire USA ground forces by just targeting their generators. The army needing to retire their vehicles for several hours after every operation because those batteries take forever to recharge. Land vehicles having massively lower range. Tanks fucking exploding on a tiny hit since those batteries aren't stable when facing impact. The entire army behind dependent on China exporting those raw materials....

And that's just the things I can name without thinking on it for more than one minute.

Well the US military would already be pretty much dependent on China in an all-out war since pretty much all steel either comes from China or places China could easily cut off from the US. The battery thing is no joke. Those would be worse for crew survivability than the petrol engines were which most countries replaced with diesel prior to WW2.

Russian servicemen are helping the population to restore peaceful life in the settlements liberated from the nationalists

In the Kharkov region, in settlements liberated from nationalist battalions, Russian servicemen help the population to restore peaceful life and, with the support of local residents, participate in the organization of daily life.

Humanitarian cargo is also delivered to the population, primary medical care is provided. People with chronic diseases and in need of inpatient medical care are taken to specialized medical institutions.

During the advance of Russian units, military personnel in the liberated territories deploy road commandant garrisons, which ensure the safety and escort of convoys of armored and automotive vehicles, including those carrying humanitarian supplies. The safety of the movement of convoys is also carried out by the crews of attack helicopters of the army aviation.

The worst part of it is, is that it doesn't even take them actually catching on fire to do it. Just a puncture or even an overcharge can cause them to ignite. Batteries can also release dangerous gasses under certain conditions. There were cases during WW2 where the batteries released toxic gases after being exposed to seawater like what happened to U-1206.

Really? The US produced an amount of steel in 2020 that was 14.5x the total tonnage of the US Navy. Japan about 18.5x. South Korea about 13.5x. Germany and Turkey about 7x each

China does not have the ability to prevent the US from replacing materiel losses in a war because muh steel

Where do you guys come up with these completely retarded statements? Google is right there. Use it ffs. All the major powers have the ability to produce way more than enough steel to fight a long, bloody war

I don't think WW3 would last long enough for any of the combatants to need to worry about building new carriers, submarines or guided missile destroyers.

If I remember, this was touched on in the original thread while the sanctions were just being implemented, but the vast majority of Eastern Europe's supply of Coca-Cola is through the Coca-Cola Hellenic Bottling Company. It just so happens that CCHBC's markets include both Ukraine and Russia, so I imagine it has something to do with the company reflecting the current political situation, but who knows exactly. Funnily enough, the closest I found to an explanation so far has been this funny situation the Coca-Cola Company proper found itself in back in 2016.
