Russian Invasion of Ukraine Megathread

[Uncle Buck]

In actual news, Eurotrash autocrats have decided that they may reduce imports of Russian fossil fuels to nothing as early as 2027, if they can reach a consensus [they won't, particularly if they can't replace them with supply from Ukroswine Elbonia, as they've been hopeful of doing since 2014].

You might recall that last week rumors first appeared of such an imminent ban in the run-up to the French election.

A bit off topic perhaps, or maybe not if put in a "rules for thee but not for me" perspective.
I wonder if there'll be a new thread when it becomes a proper world war with China and Nato going balls out...

I was being on topic in that thread. Are you gonna screenshot everybody else who participated there? Come on!

I will if it is funny to me. I made a screenshot so you could not edit your post later.
If you don't want to be ridiculed be less belligerent and add something new to the conversation, like reformed Vince (he keeps his frustrations to downdoots).

A question for the Russia supporters in this thread:
How justified do you feel Russia is in waging this war against Ukraine? Absolutely justified? Somewhat justified? Not at all, but you don't like Ukraine and the state of the West so you're cheering Russia on anyway? I'd also appreciate it if you would explain why you feel so.

It is as justified as it was inevitable.
Russia lost the moment it started the operation. Slavs are killing each other again on the whim of certain western powers.
Whatever “gains” Russia gets will have to be washed off of needlessly spilled blood for a long time. And Ukraine will be left in ruin despite all the western promises.
London and Washington should be nuked, world will be better off without them.
Rate how vatnik out of 10 my take is.

Why has Ukraine been waging war against it's own Russian population for eight years?

No, it is not justified. No, I do not like post-2014 Ukraine after the new government made antagonizing Russia its national focus and the centerfold of its foreign policy. Yes, I do think it was a grave mistake.

Having said that, I view the entire shitshow as the result of diplomatic failures and disastrous foreign policy not just on Russia's side but also that of other bad actors, most notably the US and anti-Russian bloc inside the EU (Poland-Estonia-Latvia-Lithuania) that essentially forced Russian hand much to their own benefit.

From where I stand as a Russian, the Ukraineans are being sacrified as pawns in a decades-long political gambit to turn Russia into the world's pariah state and destroy it economically that Putin ultimately failed to counter.

Because separatism ist verboten.

I wish liveleak was still up so normies could watch years of ukraine war footage from 2014 and see the shit the ukrainian military was capable of doing to their own people.

The 2014 US funded ukrainian "revolution" was the retaliation to Putin preventing a regime change in Syria so the globohomos can build their qatar pipeline.

Since 2014 the ukes have been at constant war in eastern ukraine. First they stage a regime change causing the democratically elected president to flee the country, then they promise Russia not to join NATO or the EU, then they spend years waging war against their own people in the east for opposing the regime change all while getting trained and equipped by the west in exchange for laundering their money and god knows what. Then they silence opposition by banning opposition news stations, intimidating opposition leaders and make journalists exposing their corruption disappear. Then they break their promise and try to join the NATO and even the EU. You reap what you sow.

Somewhat justified

There were 8 years to deescalate this conflict. It didn't happen. There wasn't even an attempt.

Ukraine could easily keep Donbass if there was at least an attempt to do this diplomatically.

In his presidential campaign, Zelensky promised to improve relations with Russia and keep Donbass. While at the same time saying there will be no special status for the region and separatist fighters will not get amnesty, and praising Bandera as a Freedon fighter, I'm not sure how anyone could agree to such conditions other than at gunpoint.

But I kind of pity the guy. He is just a comedian stuck between Nazi larpers, western warlords and the Russian horde. He is not a leader, as the Azov leader openly threatened to hang him if Donbass was let go, and most of his wealth is outside of Ukraine, so I cannot expect anything from the puppet. Shit was fucked already when Poroshenko was in charge, but at least there were some talks between him and Putin.

Even before the shitshow of 2014 happened, the eastern part of Ukraine was always somewhat pro-Russian. But they really didn't want to choose between two daddies.
For example, Mariupol voted on joining the DPR in 2014; Ukrainian tanks stopped that, a lot of civilans died, and Mariupol became a base for the Azov punishers, which locals dispise.
Today, a lot of the remaining civilians in Mariupol just want the war to end, and they also said that if Russia promises to repair the city, they are fine with Mariupol joining them. It could be reasonably arranged. For example, Grozny was fully repaired in less than 10 years.

And I'm glad that republics will finally be able to calm down when this ends. Between "there was no bombing of Donbass" and "they were all Russian mercenaries" when they had already buried 50,000 corpses, I chose this war.

No particular love for Russia, general dislike for government of Ukraine, instant distrust of anything that literally all elements of western power agree on and really want to convince you to support.

As far as specific justifications go I'd say marginally more justified than anything America has gotten involved in in years. Regardless of timing and real motivations, the issues raised by Russia regarding Ukraine's ongoing war with the Russian-majority breakaways are valid, and that alone is way more justification than anything the west has done in the Middle East in the last half century.

I support the civilians impacted and honestly most of the soldiers on both sides, who are dragged into this by dickflinging either by Russian officials or internationalist interests. I do unashamedly hope for the success of the LPR and DPR. I am unequivocally in favor of people's and ethnicities' right to select their own government, including by secession. While I'm sure that the governments themselves will be satellites of the Kremlin just as much as Ukraine is of the US, the people in those regions are genuinely so disinterested in being part of Ukraine that they have been willing to fight a near decade long civil war over it.

On a more conceptual note, I appreciate that Russia is returning history. That this invasion even happened and especially if it succeeds is a massive refutation of the post-history globalized 'discourse' world. It is a rejection of the delusion created by the post-cold-war liberal consensus and a reminder that nations do still exist and can still achieve their aims through outward power. A success especially would signal that the whole world isn't enslaved exclusively to the whims of some regional management council headed by the US.

Chechens found quite a bit of cash with the recent supplies they got their hands on. Biden Bucks?

That looks like about 50 boxes of cash, and each box looks like it has maybe 10 million dollars. That's a fuckload of cash. Here's just 1 million in 100's for comparison:

Are you in the US or Europe?

In other news, Russia is now threatening to nuke the UK over their sending weapons to Ukraine. Part of me thinks it's saber rattling, but still unsettling nonetheless:
