Russian Invasion of Ukraine Megathread

[Captain Autism69]

There is only one nation in the black sea threatening merchant vessels, and that is Russia. All Russia has to do is not open fire on merchant vessels entering or leaving Ukranian ports.

You mean the ports that are mined?
Russia is not obliged to allow anything through btw...blocades are legit if they starve a country of funding which can be used to further drive the war effort.
Oh well, I guess everyone should have thought of the concequences of poking the bear...

Do you honestly think the US would miss an opportunity to plant a bomb one of such merchant vessels, then blame the explosion on Russia and demand a no-fly zone/the introduction of Polish and Baltic NATO peacekeepers/etc?

Also, Ukraine mined the Black Sea and the Turks have already complained about their mines washing up in the Bosphorus.

The United States is not going to blow up tankers moving grain from Ukraine to Turkey and Africa.

Russia is the only nation mining trade routes.

Seems China is opening up the russian oil tap. Overall it seems like sanctions have done nothing more than cause countries to jump ship from US vassal controlled oil exports to russian oil. Archive is taking forever.

Beautiful, and that oil isn't traded in USD anymore either

Right. Of course it would not. How silly of me to think it would meddle in the conflict it carefully orchestrated.

Russia is the only nation mining trade routes.

Ah, so you are one of those people. Good day.

The US has done far worse with much less justification, why wouldn't they?

 

[White_N]

Does anyone know what just happened at Desna? I heard a russian missle killed a bunch of hohos at a training camp.

"New footage from the missile strike on the Ukrainian training center "Desna"

Mobilized soldiers were trained in this center. Even Zelensky acknowledged huge losses. According to estimates, the number of dead is more than 300 soldiers"

"The tankman of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, who was trained by Canadian instructors at the destroyed Desna training center, was sent to the front as a grenade launcher assistant due to a shortage of tanks

He said that none of the mobilized Ukrainians were taught to use foreign weapons."

 

[Potatoherder]

When China and India buy Russian raw materials it's not at the prices paid by the west.

That is kind of irrelevant if the overall profits are up.

Russia is still speeding ahead towards selling half the nation just to spite their former vassals.

The EU and US are driving towards depression over a backwater 3rd world country best known for corruption and child sex slaves.

In regards to the west's sanctions they make perfect sense, even if they were completely ineffectual they ensure that corporations in the west don't form economic attachment to Russian businesses, let asia squabble between themselves

The last 30 years of global elite policy has been a tightly integrated world economy would prevent conflict. We are in this mess because the west refused to properly integrate Russia as an equal. In the end closing markets to western companies only helps China and will further hurt western economies.

The US has plenty of questionable military operations, but they are not a threat to merchant ships in the black sea.

Spoiler: article

Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelensky said Russian forces have 'completely destroyed' Ukraine's eastern Donbas region and accused Moscow of trying to 'increase pressure' with 'brutal' and 'senseless' bombardments, the media reported.

The Ukrainian leader said the Kremlin had intensified its offensive following the withdrawal of its troops from Kharkiv, east of Kiev -- putting even more pressure on Donbas, the Daily Mail reported.

Zelensky also repeated that Russia was carrying out genocide and said those who 'give and carry out criminal orders' would be brought to justice 'within the international tribunal'.


Speaking in a video posted to his social media account, Zelensky said: "In Donbas, the occupiers are trying to increase pressure. There's hell and that's not an exaggeration.

"Donbas is completely destroyed. All this doesn't and cannot have any military explanation for Russia," Zelensky said, Daily Mail reported.

He added: "This is a deliberate and criminal attempt to kill as many Ukrainians as possible, and destroy as many houses, social facilities and enterprises as possible.

"This is what will be qualified as the genocide of the Ukrainian people and for which occupiers will definitely be brought to justice," Ukraine President said.

"The first trial in Ukraine against a Russian war criminal has already begun and it will end with the full restoration of justice within the international tribunal. I'm sure of it. We will find and bring to justice all those who give and carry out criminal orders."

Zelensky went on to talk about the 'constant' strikes across the country - referencing the 'terrible' air and missile strikes in Desna, Chernihiv Oblast.

I've heard the same. That was yesterday morning-day, I think. Haven't read many details apart from what you had written.
Zelenski acknowledged it though, which leads me to believe that it was quite a big deal.
Whoops, @White_N delivered more info in an earlier post.
Oh and a fun fact — that Givi was trained in Desna center (1998-2000).

Here's humanitarian bombardment today in Lozovaya, Kharkov province.

At this point I am 100% confident he is projecting.

If you're selling for less and still seeing profits rise it means you're simply selling whatever remains of your deposits at larger quantities than before as a way of making up for the economic hardships of the war.
As for inflation and depression that's Covid, not the war, I thought we were all in agreement that blaming the economic downturn on Putin was silly.
As for the current economic situation, here's the UK market compared to the Russian market right now


Whatever economic hardships the west is experiencing right now it's nothing compared to what's happening in Russia, and it wasn't the west who sent armies across the border.

 

[Captain Wetbeard]

The US has seized oil tankers in the recent past suspected of trading with sanctioned countries. (Venezuela iirc)

In port, in the US or in a nation heavily partnered with the US. has there ever been documented a case where the US will go full privateer and just grab a tanker on the ocean?

Also, this chapter is closed.

Surely an accredited news site would not publish unconfirmed information from Telegram and tell lies?

Editing post, then. I am still waiting for that sexual offender Canadian officer that totally was in Azovstal to show up.

I am waiting with bated breath for actual footage of those fuckfaces in the hands of our troops. Then I'll believe those news.
On the other hand, now that we know that there are orange bands (GRU) there participating in filtration process, we might not even get that kind of confirmation. And so we wait.

 

[IKOL]

The Rada proposes to deprive Ukrainians of citizenship who, during martial law or war, left for the country that attacked Ukraine and did not return within 30 days.

Vince must be very happy.

Russia's naval blockade of Ukranian grain exports in order to force capitulation is terrorism.

Shelling your own countrymen for 8 years straight is state terrorism, treason and genocide. It doesn't seem to bother Westworld politicians, so why would we bother with lifting naval blockade? On the other side,

There is only one nation in the black sea threatening merchant vessels, and that is Russia. All Russia has to do is not open fire on merchant vessels entering or leaving Ukranian ports.

On the other side, blockate prevents possible collateral damage because somebody have thought it would be a splendid idea to mine the ports so mosovites would not be able to get close. Totally forgetting this prevents ANY foreign vessel to either enter or leave any near port.

The United States is not going to blow up tankers moving grain from Ukraine to Turkey and Africa.

Russia is the only nation mining trade routes.

Are you the child of reddid? Do you believe the Desinformation Governance Board initiative by usgovt is a blessing?
Honestly I can't tell if you're exceptionally riddled person or just pretty much delusional on the fact that for west ANY MEANS TO SHOW RUSSIA BE BAD ARE A NECESSITY?

Beautiful, and that oil isn't traded in USD anymore either

I can't tell if that's a good thing really, but as a probing for futher solid leg to stay on it might to shot right in the 10.

Mobilized soldiers were trained in this center. Even Zelensky acknowledged huge losses. According to estimates, the number of dead is more than 300 soldiers"

Decimation in progress. Lovely.

Right. They are just a threat to the estimating a worldwide peace overall. One that would not have any sort of hegemony of anyone, where nations just... live, trade, fuck and cooperate on making mankind prosper.

Intead we have troonism, pedo and dogfucker rights, everlasting proxy wars and other depraved shit being on export for years. From America.

I am waiting with bated breath for actual footage of those fuckfaces in the hands of our troops.

I'm more erect for a footage of these faggots being decapitated via Cobain self-treatment recorded live. Dream that probably never come true.

 

[Su-27 Flanker-B]

Hot take: We shouldn't negotiate with terrorists and instead should fire enough missiles into the black sea to destroy a third world terrorist shithole's naval blockade on grain exports.

Russia's naval blockade of Ukranian grain exports in order to force capitulation is terrorism.

Blaming the US for Russia's naval blockade is like going home after work, beating the shit out of your wife, and blaming it on your coworker who said mean things to you.

edit: a gazillion edits in one minute cause phone posting and my fingers have downs syndrome

This is a Naval blockade on grain Ukraine is growing, hence the explicit use of the phrase "Ukranian grain exports"
