Russian Invasion of Ukraine Megathread

[Kuritan Deplorable]

I find it hard to believe they had none-not that it isn't the case but antibiotics are basic bitch supplies in bunkers. My ex did construction and I came over for lunch to a site near my apartment he was working at. The owner was there and he showed me barrels that had been stocked in basement when it was a designated a fallout shelter. Food, (like crackers and canned stuff) and atropine/antibiotics. He let me have what I wanted (they were throwing it out) so I took a little bottle of atropine and repurposed it. It was just a civilian bunker/shelter from the 1960s, today a military bunker would include more including a broad spectrum of antibiotics.

It's also possible they used them all up. Some of those injuries look very serious, the kind that require a doctor to make a quick assessment and do some cutting, which medics aren't really trained to do. Those guy might be in better shape had they surrendered a couple of weeks ago. Infection travels fast despite antibiotics if the source of it isn't addressed properly.

Option 3, Slavic stealing and black marketing of everything thats not nailed down in military sites is not exclusive to Russians - Anything left in that bunker was probably radiation treatments and empty pill bottles.

Yeah that's also highly likely.

The SBU confirmed the execution of six citizens of Ukraine, participants of the anti-fascist movement "Patriots for Life" without trial.

I was told Ukraine was Keanu Reeves 100 Wholesome Chungus, this is not Keanu Reeves 100 Wholesome Chungus,

 

[Wood]

Some American congress persons were very upset about "Russian disinformation" on Eastern Euro Facebook and wrote a letter to Zuck. Thank you for taking care of us.

Isn't Javeline an anti tank weapon, that's programmed to perform top-down attack on tank and therefore useless on such small island?

it works on basically anything. tanks, other vehicles, buildings, boats, you can get the missile to lock on almost anything, even low flying helicopters i think

 

[Samson Pumpkin Jr.]

I don't know how anyone can say Russia is winning right now. There have been no notable changes on the map for over a month. It looks like a stalemate. Coach putin pill says that it's because the Russians are destroying the Ukrainian army. Thing is, you don't launch offensives when you're bleeding troops like no tomorrow. If they had enough men to fight back at Kharkov, why didn't they send them where CRP would have you believe they were needed, in Donbas? I don't believe Russia is achieving their goal of "demilitarization." The lesson learned from the Vietnam war is that you can't destroy an army with air power. Even in the great war, the lesson was that artillery couldn't destroy enemy positions, it could only neutralize them.

It's either that Russia can win but they don't want to or that Russia can't win.

They're fortifying villages and towns in the south, the clear Russian expectation is that if there are future offensives they will be hohol offensives not gopnik offensives

It can even lock onto people.
It's just a bitch to carry when it weighs in at almost 50 lbs with tube and control unit, and a Stinger is 33 lbs/Piorun is 36 lbs. Against buildings, an AT-4 could be used and those are 15-18 lbs each tube.
Shooting at incoming landing boats is perhaps the only worthwhile use.

Looking at how many kids these hohols killed in the Donbass with their shelling, this is quite topkek

Keep seething you cunts at the spawn of Ron Paul lol.

Also I haven't checked in a while but has the baby formula shortage that American mothers are suffering from, been solved yet by the Biden administration and Congress?

Also some stuff from Telegram.

He reminds me of the journalist from Apocalypse Now.

The character played by Dennis Hopper.



Are there cats all over the place in Eastern Europe?

"When you tell your 3-week old baby that her Mom’s work for the last week that we had to spend apart to help the country was blocked by one single man in the US Senate..."

That wording is painfully oblique. They are actually complaining that Rand Paul reunited a mother with her 3 week old baby?

Something a little different from the usual combat footage: war crimes trials have begun in Ukraine. The suspect in the first trial is a Russian tank commander named Vadim Shysimarin. It's alleged that he killed a 62 year old man after being ordered to do so to prevent the man from reporting his and his comrades' positions to the Ukrainian military.

View attachment 3276630

This trial wrapped up quickly. Shysimarin requested a bench trial instead of a jury trial, the request was granted, then he came into court today and immediately pled guilty. The court will hear some witness testimonies and then decide what sentence to give him - it will either be 10-15 years in prison or a life sentence.

The Ukrainian court system will next hear the case of two soldiers who are accused of firing a MLRS at houses in Kharkiv oblast. Their first hearing is in a few days.

Idk, I told the Russians it was a dumb idea to invade, but they didn't listen to my thinkpieces on Kiwi Farms.

Since they screwed the optics and went in anyway, they can't afford to "lose" this war. The West has upped the stakes to make it an existential fight for the Russian government, and maybe the territorial integrity of the country itself. At a minimum, Putin will be Putout if he can't come up with a convincing "victory".

Yet Russia seems to be content with what they've been doing so far. They haven't done a general mobilization, they don't appear to have substantially increased their troop numbers, they haven't pulled Belarus into the fighting, they haven't obliterated Kiev. They could do any or all these things, but they've chosen not to.

Logically, therefore, the Russian Ministry of Defense must think it's achieving its aims, whatever they really are. Otoh the US demanded an immediate ceasefire recently, which doesn't sound like the kind of thing you do when you're about to crush your enemy, and Ukraine + Western sponsors have been furiously trying to spin the surrender of Astoval as another glorious victory for Hoholdom.

The map is not the territory. WW1 had pretty static lines, but that doesn't mean there weren't clear winners and losers by the end, tho idk why anybody would want to refight WW1. From the start everything Russia did was "wrong" from the POV of Western military doctrine, but they persist in doing those things, so it's possible Russia was telling the truth that they see this as a "special military operation", and it's possible they're not lying when they claim that - from their perspective - they feel like they're achieving their objectives.

Putin will be Putout

ceasefire to stall for time makes sense from western perspective because in the long term time is on their side. every day that passes is one more day for nato to ramp up arms production, for more deliveries to make their way to ukraine, puts ukrainian soldiers who are currently training with western armies in europe one day closer to finishing that training and entering the fight, etc.

Letting them vote was a mistake.

Finland (and Sweden for that matter) are a part of the EU, and have had extremely close ties to NATO through participating in exercises while not being a member. Even without them being official NATO members, chances are extremely high NATO would directly intervene in the conflict, even if the Russians didn't invade Ukraine. Finland knows this, Russia knows this, NATO knows this.

Speaking of which Turkey has blocked negotiations for them joining until they get thrown a bone.

Ya, as previously stated Finland, Sweden and the USA will hear Turkey out, a quiet deal will be made, and that will settle matters.

See no chance of Russia attacking Finland conventionally; they no longer have the forces to spare, and Russia would get Uke'd if they were to try anything.
