Russian Invasion of Ukraine Megathread - Episode III - Revenge of the Ruski (now unlocked with new skins and gameplay modes!!!)

[76LD910]

So did they pass Dudchany yet?

There's fighting going on several miles to the south along the river bank and indications of a push westward as well.

In other news the latest aid package to be delivered immediately from US stocks include 4 more HIMARS, 30,000 120mm mortar shells, 200 MRAPS, and 16 more of both 105mm and 155mm howitzers along with other odds and ends.

The most interesting thing to me is that in addition to 75,000 more conventional 155mm rounds they're also getting 500 Excalibur rounds, which has been in use for a while but I guess their continued supply indicates they can effectively use them as a force multiplier. And 1000 155mm RAAMS munitions that each lay nine anti-armor mines on soft terrain, a family of weapons I had honestly forgot we had. Ukraine's indirect fire capabilities are getting more and more advanced.

German 155mm SMArt precision artillery round being used

BMP hit by Javelin

Russian missile (Iskander?) fails at launch from occupied Kherson. This was yesterday.

Poor fucker probably thought he could dress like this and get out of it. Maybe get beat up or something but no front line.

This femboy photo was from the early days (it's on the first thread) but if it was now they're gonna send him to the front alright. Just not for fighting considering the recent BJ drone video.

Musk's "solution" is literally giving the Russians precisely what they wanted. You can't fucking give Russia all their stated objectives and feign to be neutral. Musk either activated his turboautism or smoked something funny before hitting post.

You actually can when you consider Ukraine is not an ally of ours and the only reason Russia is even pushing this campaign to begin with is because of either the West or Ukraine going against agreements we made with Russia.

Fucking off and letting Russia sort this shit out while not taking a side is as neutral as it gets. Neutrality is not helping one side or the other, regardless of what happens because you're not picking sides. The moment you decide "We can't give Russia what it wants" you have become Pro-Ukranian. End of story.

In the first example, Germany considered any US ships traveling to Europe to be valid military targets, participating in the war. IDK what you think sinking ships is if it's not "war."
In the second example, Germany declared war on the USA, and cited our engagement with German ships to protect Lend-Lease materiel as one of the reasons.

Try again.

Maybe you should think harder about what the word "escalating" means, and explain how moving from coups to material support to tactical command is not an increase in belligerence, but is apparently maintaining a constant or decreasing level of belligerence. Also think harder about how relevant Talmudic word-parsing is when artillery's involved.

The Nazis declared war because Hitler thought that the US declaring war on Japan meant it would inevitably declare war on Germany. Plus he wanted to stand by his trusty and competent ally Japan

And the United States and Germany had already been fighting an undeclared naval war in the Atlantic all summer and fall. An American destroyer had been sunk by a U-boat, and at least one U-boat had been sunk by the US by December 1941

Window dressing about muh Lend Lease is true and honest but irrelevant. Sure Russia could declare war on the US. The US could have declared war on the USSR over Korea or China over Vietnam, when they had military directly fighting the US. China had 200,000 men in North Vietnam, manning anti air defense and things. Using their own weapons brought with them from China. Americans died because of what they did. Soviet pilots flying Soviet planes killed American pilots in Korea. But the US didn't declare war either time. It fought China on the ground in Korea but both sides decided to fight only in Korea

But yes it could be construed as a casus belli. What's your retarded monke hero gonna do about it? Fuck around and find out? What does the United States have to fear militarily from this shitshow that is Russia's forces? Gonna launch? Fine, we'll launch too

Yeah we're helping the hohols all kinds of ways that are getting Russian soldiers killed in carload lots and if Russia doesn't like it Russia can leave Ukraine, declare war, or seethe. We aren't stopping

...Man, what has happened to this thread? It used to be one of the few places to get (somewhat) unbiased crumbs of actual news on the situation among the informational torrent and now it has devolved into nothing but belligerence and callous attempts to own the opponent no matter what. I feel that most people here don't even have a relation to the conflict, just picking a side and seeing the other side humiliated, hurt or killed gives you satisfaction and a desire to post a smug reaction image because your side got a win. Living through a war with horrible global ramifications and living in uncertainty over what happens tomorrow is already bleak, but seeing people flinging shit over it no matter what small part of the Internet you try to go makes it much worse. Was it the influence of the American two-party system that gave everyone the need to divide everybody into right and wrong without care or nuance? I mean, it probably started before that, and the Internet has only accelerated things, but when I think of the level of discussion and argumentation during the latest years, I can't help but feel a bit depressed.
Informational warfare can be as devastating as the physical one, and with technology becoming more advanced and people becoming more retarded, soon we may be nothing but herds of brainrotted nigger cattle going at each other's throats at the press of a button of our tech/government/corpo overlords. We just weren't ready for the technological evolution outspeeding our own, were we? And if WMDs aren't gonna fuck us, then the uncontrollable takeover of the flow information probably will.
...
I suppose, when there's nothing you can do about something you dislike, the best thing would be to avoid it, whether it's excessive alarmism or plain Internet retardation. But, God knows, it is becoming harder.

(Yes, I am aware that this was a needlessly long and overly emotional rant and no, I don't care. Holding in negative feelings is bad for the health.)

End of story.

1. a) Being an ally doesn't actually have any bearing on this situation. There's no law or rules about who you can or can't support. Either way, Musk isn't a country and has no power so by your logic he's even more retarded for trying to play savior. b) We actually have an agreement where we pledged support for Ukraine in case of invasion. While it's not required for us to support Ukraine, it's in the spirit of the agreement that we will help them.
2. "Agreements we made with Russia" - you mean the Soviet Union, and the agreement was about East Germany because this was during the reunification. If you think a little, there would be no need to have an agreement about countries that at the time were part of the Warsaw Pact and the Soviet Union. Like, Moscow controlled them. They'd never ask for NATO membership. Makes sense?
3. Musk said Ukraine had no remain neutral in his proposal, not the US or the EU. Ukraine isn't "as neutral as it gets", they're one of the belligerent nations. Neutrality for Ukraine is not seeking alliances with anyone who could protect them next time they get invaded. This isn't about what we are going to give Russia. Musk said Ukraine itself had to give Russia assurances of neutrality. Do you get it? By requesting Ukraine to pull down its pants and keep its asshole ready for Russia to fuck them after they rebuild their military you've become pro-Russia. End of story.

1) Learn to format a post.

2) Being an ally actually does have bearing on a situation when it comes to neutrality. If your ally is attacked and you're helping them, you're not neutral.

3) Citing some agreement about how we have pledged to help Ukraine means fuck all. We violated pledges, treaties, and words aplenty leading up to this conflict. Pretending like pieces of paper have any merit or meaning when it suites you and ignoring the times when it doesn't just makes you a dumb ass. If we were under no obligation to abide by our word to Russia we are equally under no obligation to abide by our word to Ukraine.

4) Sucks to suck. Ukraine's issues are not my, or any other American's problems. If Ukraine doesn't want Putin and Russia ass raping it in the future, maybe it shouldn't seek alliances with NATO and The UN and instead, do what it was always meant to do, be a buffer between Russia and the Hostile West.

Every time I see cucks like you on the internet, you always conveniently forget that this is what its really all about. Russia doesn't want Ukraine for shits and giggles. They want a a buffer between the Motherland and what they view as a united hostile neighbor. The sole purpose of their invasion is to keep that buffer zone between us and them.

Its very easy to spin this story of "Russia Bad. Ukraine Good. NATO just" while completely ignoring. "Ukraine and NATO extremely corrupt".

Russia might have invaded, but only after the EU, NATO, The UN, The United States, and Ukraine gave them justified reason to do so.

If you want to be Neutral. You do not play the game. End of story.

Umm... guys, is this some kind of psyop?

Supposedly, some strange pillars of light were spotted Belgorod(Video is from Belgorod.), Moscow, Omsk and Murmansk. With all the coping that is going on, there are claims that it is some kind of counter satellite weapon, but what it is in reality? Some kind of environmental phenomenon?

Why tf are half the clips edited with goofy music? Is it propaganda, zoomer bs or special needs?

That and proclaiming themselves the Third Rome

TFW you are a literal humanoid cockroach shat from the bowels of central asia and yet still have an infinitely better claim of being the heirs of Caesar than five hundred years of seething ural niggers
View attachment 3714910

tbh Ottomans behaved like Eastern Roman Empire, only Muslim version. Slavery, manumission rules and quasi religious bureaucracy remained when Mehmed II walked in. Heck even Janissaries are copycats of Pretorian Guard. so your claim isnt that far off

edit: @Nogbertstein care to explain whats dumb about this?

I got this feeling that any total global nuke blowout would be a marginal US victory since I feel they have ABM and interception methods on hand. Plus they have resources, infrastructure and mountain ranges to hide in.

It would be technically a win. Just not good for the environment.

Good, MRAPs being used to kill gopniks 5,000 miles away means less MRAPs handed out to local and state police and the federal government's various domestic paramilitary agencies like candy

>If Ukraine wants to be protected from Russia, they should not join alliance against Russia
>Instead, they should have no allies and be extremely vulnerable to Russia.

I bet it made sense in your head.

Yeah denazification of (((Azov)))

Nobody denies NATO is corrupt. It's just the other side is a darker shade of black.

And before you get any funny ideas about Putin being the based redpill warrior of whitey, each and every action of his just killed more whites, made more whites poorer and basically pushed non-white world closer to matching the YT. Honestly he looks like the perfect catalyst for a Kalergi Kalifat De Van De Haag Globoohomo

Natural phenomenon that occurs when cope crystals form low in the atmosphere during a seethe front. The refraction dilates visible light. It’s been a common occurrence in Russia in the last few months.

What Are Light Pillars? What Causes Light Pillars?

Light pillars are optical atmospheric phenomenon occuring on a coldy night where vertical beams of light appear striking into the sky.

If by some miracle Putin manages to take over Ukraine and gets the money the US and EU have been laundering, expect a nuclear war, since the globalhomo would rather raze the world instead of admitting Putler won.
It won't happen, but seeing the WEF lose their shit would be amazing.

 

[Shovelbird]

Peresvet anti satellite laser supposedly. Either that or a very weird light pillar

it supposedly blinds satellites per Maskirovka doctrine, since it supposed to blind satellites so Putin can get a launcher in range without being found. Stupid since it merely blocks vision and several "NO NUKES HERE LOL" pillars might just get bombed together. It's like putting up 6 cups and a seashell but your enemy might lift all the cups and punch you in the face.

Do it Putin. Do the funny. End us all!
