Russian Invasion of Ukraine Megathread

EOD work, there's shells that now have to be removed from the woods after the fighting is done.

Neither do you.

He didn't start a war.

 

[Feline Supremacist]

Correct, I do however feel sorry for them. Russians I don't give two fucks about.

They're ethnic Russians and of course you don't give a fuck about them so I don't belive you feel sorry for them at all.

He didn't start a war.

And? What's your point, that concern trolling is fine if you agree with it?

Pointing out concern trolling isn't concern trolling in itself.

The latest and last ? installment of the "Bridges of Bilohorivka county" saga involves retreat, abandonment (possibly willful scuttling) of eight! T-72 type MBTs and some other vehicles.

 

[Echo_Ender]

Ok, this is depressing, when the Russians are kitting out their DNR cannon fodder to a "rifle regiment" they mean literal rifles, not a motorized rifle regiment..
Notice the Mosin Nagants, unencrypted Baofeng radios and Ssh-68? helmets.

Putin don't care about Donbass people.

With how much outdated shit they give actual "Modern" Russian squads, I'm not even remotely surprised that they're giving their foreign conscripts even worse gear.

But damned if it doesn't look like they cracked open a lost warehouse of WWII-era equipment to hand out.

 

[Super-Chevy454]

At this rate, we could wonder if they started a war with Russia as a diversion to not thinking about the silent invasion and war at home?

The Silent Invasion and War at Home​

By Jeffrey Folks

It has been chilling to watch the steady number of deaths, the territory invaded, the executions and rapes, the fear and the flight. It is especially shocking because we had peace for so long, but now we see all the possibilities of evil coming out.
I'm not talking about Ukraine — I'm speaking of an invasion right here in the United States. Migrants, mostly Hispanic, are entering the U.S. at the rate of at least 2 million per year — or 20 million in the next decade — and with them come hundreds of thousands of violent gang members. Meanwhile, our own inner-city gangs are spreading out into affluent suburban areas, invading high-end shopping areas and stealing from stores and individuals, often at gunpoint and with deadly consequences.
I am not being alarmist or racist. I am simply describing what is happening and pointing out the future state of affairs if we do nothing. If anything, my numbers are low, and my words cannot describe the horror of what is happening.

The most numerous victims of this invasion are blacks and Hispanics who are attacked by young men of their own race. These are the forgotten men and women in our society, and this is a topic that mainstream news won't cover because the killers are mostly black and Hispanic. Just in 2020, the year of the "defund the police" protests, murders of blacks soared by 32%, and they're only continuing.
We're seeing an explosion in the number of carjackings and car thefts, along with murders, home invasions, rapes, assaults, and other violent crimes, not just in our cities, but in suburban areas as well. And authorities cannot or will not do anything to stop it. There has always been violent crime in Chicago, but now there seems to be a crime wave, and it includes the murder of children, police officers, and the elderly. The authorities mumble about "root causes," but social work won't reduce the numbers. We are at war, and war requires the use of force.
The perpetrators are largely the same in every location: young black and Hispanic men, heavily armed and with no apparent conscience or morality. They prey on the weak and take what they want, which seems to be money, sex, drugs, and a certain kind of street cred that they mistake for status.
These thugs now control the streets, even in many smaller cities. Mayors like Lori Lightfoot seem to have given up. They attempt to change the subject and ignore the problem, just as the Biden administration does.

Talk about a coincidence or "cohencidence".

But damned if it doesn't look like they cracked open a lost warehouse of WWII-era equipment to hand out.

This gear wasn't given out by Russians, it was given out by the DPR/LPR themselves to arm conscripts (who are never supposed to see combat and are instead used to guard HQs and captured territory) because the DPR/LPR don't get much in terms of material support from Russia. I've never seen a frontline separatist using a Mosin or anything outdated enough to be useless, unless they're a sniper who wants to LARP since they tend to get more leeway in terms of using whatever equipment they want.

All this stuff very likely was indeed taken out of a very, very old military warehouse, the kind that Soviets liked to keep just in case they had to send 100 million people to die and needed guns for all of them. The rest may have been brought from home as grandpa's hunting rifle.

Here's the first batch of conscripts getting equipped, complete with a civilian dump truck being used as military transport, a certified classic when it comes to Ukrainian separatists. Notice that probably the majority are still sporting AKs.

If I had to guess, at this point the separatists have captured more than enough AKs in arms warehouses and from fallen Ukrainians that they'd have little problem giving them better shit if they eventually need to put conscripts in the frontline (which isn't in their plans). I've only seen one instance so far of separatist conscripts actually fighting, and it was the first UAF counter-attack in Kharkiv when LPR conscripts accidentally had to fight and immediately ran away or got killed. It's 2022 - everyone knows conscripts fight like shit and have very little use in a war, I wouldn't expect any human waves any time soon.

Nobody started this as a distraction. I don't think Russia is complying with western planning on invasion specifics, though do believe the US in particular has been hoping things would kick off sooner rather than later for years.

Now that it is ongoing, as with any major event, it easily serves as a distraction. However, normies aren't really keeping up with this at all and barely did at the start. The people who keep up with a "silent invasion" are pre-labeled domestic terrorists as is and were following that before February just fine and will continue to do so.

Not yet, but i can definitively see the US going full Vatnik and preparing a war, shifting the blame and the attention from the failures of the federal government in a economic collapse scenario.

Should've done it way, way earlier and not wait until the war has come to your house, dolboebi ebaniy.

 

[World in Scarlet]

Lol this is such an inverse of reality. I’m pretty sure the people in Crimea are thinking they dodged a pretty big bullet. Not only is Ukraine war torn and the economy is in the shithole, do you know after Maiden most people had their Ukrainian bank accounts emptied by the new corrupt government? Anybody that exited a Ukrainian bank and deposited into a Russian bank would have also dodged a pretty big bullet.

Don’t ask me for a source, I only know from a Ukranian girl I was fucking for a couple of months. She lost her whole life savings after Maidan

Crimea wasn't turned into a fake republic, it was directly annexed into Russia and has received tens of billions from the Russian government. If Russia did similar things with their other fake republics, my view of them would be different.
Crimea still suffers from water shortages and soil degradation, because obviously Ukraine is not going to support the hostile Russian occupation of their territory.

Gonna ask Putin next, I presume.

Swede disavows Germany and France, wants to be Polish. A keen hohol intellect knows the reason why the EU doesn't want to add Ukraine.

 

[St.Davis]

Apologies, I've been away from the thread for some time, and have quite a bit of catching up to do. Apologies, as well, if this has already been posted/discussed.

I was shown the following video today, thanks to JewTube's algorithm. My initial impression is that these guys are presumably Seperatists, rather than Russian Regulars. Is there more to this story that I'm missing? Given that it comes from the Bolshevik Broadcasting Company, I'm inclined to believe there is spin. I would like to hope the RFAF aren't just shooting civvies.

If the Hohols are so industrious, why is their country such a fucking shithole? Joining the EU would absolutely balloon their economy, but only for reasons of pressure equalisation.
