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

Not going to happen. For starters energy prices in Europe have come down a lot and are even lower than before 2022

I'm paying more than double for gas heating compared to Dec 2021. No I am not freezing like in vatnik propaganda, that is true.
Not only that, but food is like 20-40% more than in early 2022. Fucking deodorant and aftershave is 30% higher. Medicine is 15% higher.
Electricity seems to have stayed the same, at least for me, but anything related to energy is chaos.
Let's not be dismissive about what's happening in Europe. The energy prices for consumers are typically artificially kept down by governments too - and even with that measure, it's still double for gas, in a country without much Russian dependency. And in 2023 some of these contracts are to be renegotiated, and some artificial caps lifted.
All of this will continue to add drops to the glass until it gets filled.

He didn't ban the ukranian orthodox church. He wanted to ban churches from associating with the Russian orthodox church because it's full of FSB agents.

A distinction without a difference, right? The Ukrainian Orthodox Church can only continue if they become a new "state approved" church.

It's amazing how shit like F-16 and HIMARS are basically 25th century as far as the rest of the world is concerned. Really make you wonder if they really do have ET locked up in a basement somewhere.

This B-21 is on the homepage of Northrop Grumman, and it looks like alien aircraft. Imagine what the classified shit looks like.

You in the UK? Energy prices have been going up since the beginning of 2021 although the Russian invasion back in Feb 2022 put them though the roof. They've come down a lot from that but you right that energy prices are a huge problem. A lot of the current economic hardships we face are being driven by massive inflation and supply chain disruption since COVID and certain geopolitical events like Brexit and good old government mismanagement.

I think it's important to understand the context for the economies in Europe, this war has absolutely wreaked havoc in the Europe but it isn't the driving factor behind a lot of the price hikes. If we assign the wrong blame for why things (ie the war in Ukraine) then we can come the wrong conclusion and be unable to fix the economy. Pro Russian commentators have a vested interest in telling people that all these economic hardships are due to this war and to alleviate them all we need to do is pull back on support of Ukraine and sanctions.

Pulling back on Russian sanctions and reimporting Russian oil and gas will lower energy prices and that'll have a knock on effect for the rest of the economy, but that doesn't mean all imports will drop in price. For a country like the UK Brexit border issues are a more pressing problem.

No, I'm in East Europe, and things only escalated after the war started here.
I am not preoccupied about propaganda and what pro-Russian commentators might or might not do.
I am preoccupied by accuracy and objective reality.
There is no fixing anything as long as the war continues, that much should be obvious. The "normal" prices were driven by a stable influx of goods at a "normal" price, driven by gas and energy at a "normal" price and flowing steadily.
The sanctions are probably doing something, but their point is to starve the population and push it into revolution against its elites. I don't see ANY of that in Russia. Additionally, it can sell enough of its stuff to other countries.
Russia is not Iraq, the West is not able to isolate it properly, and China would not allow it anyway, for obvious reasons - the West cannot be allowed to be able to economically bully the main other big powers, or China is done too.
Reality always trumps propaganda and desires.
For Russia to fail, more than milquetoast sanctions is needed, that's for sure.

Japan is set to import its first crude oil shipment from Russia in more than half a year, as the government pushes energy importers to stockpile fuel in a bid to avoid future shortages.

The Aframax Zaliv Baikal vessel is sailing to Japan after loading from the Sakhalin-2 facility in Russia’s far east on Wednesday

Japan said last month that shipments from the Sakhalin-2 export project will be exempt from the price cap.

And here I thought everyone was gonna follow the price cap. Seems like that's not happening. Shocker. If other countries follow in Japan's example, that's a major win for Russia

Yeah now i officially hope Putin glasses them, declares victory, and limps home with what's left of his military. Maybe the last move of the Russian Air Force for the next hundred years can be to drop napalm on every gender clinic and pride parade they can locate. Call them enemy sympathizers.

I'm being robbed to pay for a proxy war with the potential to go nuclear and I'm supporting the installation of yet another government run by fags, dykes, troons and whiggers. Fuck this.

Blinken talking about how not withdrawing faster from Afghanistan would have mean't not being able to support Ukraine properly.

Nice little lie baked into that statement: "people are mad at us because we withdrew from Afghanistan too quickly." No, asshole, you decided to delay the withdrawal from May to September 11 for photo-op points and got your shit pushed.

 

[Astro Galactic Megalul]

A distinction without a difference, right? The Ukrainian Orthodox Church can only continue if they become a new "state approved" church.

As opposed to what? Nothing in Russia that isn't state approved is allowed to have any power or exist to begin with. These days especially anyone speaking out against the regime is branded as "foreign agent", with various consequences from fines and losing a job to years in prison.
Ukraine is at war with Russia, country that invaded theirs, so purging its influence is not only obvious but also necessary. I'm not in position to blame them after everything that happened.

Yeah, that whole Afghanistan ordeal was embarrassing, if I were them I'd try to mention it as little as possible.

Russian oil is currently priced below the cap, so it's a moot point. The oil more than likely wouldn't be moving otherwise.

BREAKING: Zelensky announces he is planning to join World Economic Forum in Davos, to sign new postwar loans with BlackRock​

It's never enough! But seriously, how will these loans be paid off?

Do you not see the issue with banning the Russian church in a country that has a large Russian minority?
It's the type of thing that will push people further to siding with the Kremlin.

A huge segment of the population of Ukraine is Russian. Restricting their language, religious freedom etc. shows exactly what Zelensky is all about.

Some news from the hyena of Europe: 70,000 Poles have recently left Poland to avoid being drafted.

TL;DR: In the last few weeks over 70,000 fighting age men have escaped from the war-torn nation of Poland, fearing they'll be drafted to fight in (or against?) Ukraine. Sounds like Pollacks don't want to die over their government's deluded fantasies of capturing Lvov and making Poland great again (was it ever great?).

Spoiler

Лол, польские чмобики поняли что у Украины скоро закончатся хохлы, и тогда наступит их очередь работать пушечным салом. Правильно сделали что сьебались. Лучше мыть туалеты в Лондоне чем кормить вшей в окопах под Ивано-Франковском.

[She] didn't ban [the local motorcycle club chapter]. [She] wanted to ban [local club houses] from associating with [the mother chapter] because it's full of [drug dealers].

Does that help you to see how inane what you just said was?

My apologies to the Oriental Church for comparing their religious community to a motorcycle club.

Don't be stupid. Be analytical.
Ukraine cannot resist Russia's invasion without outside help. Without Western aid, the country would be fully occupied and a Russification process started under the guise of denazification, which means destroying Ukrainian identity and nationalism and any of the links to the West.
This is a fact that even rabid Ukraine supporters would reluctantly acknowledge.
So since we know that Ukraine needs external help, who is able to offer it, on this planet?
China? The EU? Saudi? Israel?
There is only one country that is both willing and has the funds to prop up Ukraine's resistance. Yes. Only one.
Nobody really loves Ukraine. Its neighbors, while it does look like they're helping, never forgot the way Ukraine treated minorities, like Hungarians, Poles or Romanians. The nignog third world hate anything that looks to be associated with the West, which they link to colonialism. The Middle East, same. They also hate whites, in average, so a war that shows whites chimping out and killing each other like savages is great for the muh global south. China has no reasons to help. Japan, Asia? Nope.
So that leaves us in an undeniable binary situation, either funding continues and Ukraine has a chance, or the funding stops and Ukraine falls.
You should focus on the faggotry in your own homeland first, instead of seething about the 15 Ukraine trannies. Fix your own country, deal with the degeneracy, the drag queen story hour, the Bidenite admin encouraging world wide, maybe.
Ukraine has no choice but to submit to the source of weaponry as national integrity comes above anything else, even the lives of your men (as it's obvious from thew war).

A big part of "fixing" America is stopping all the support for Ukraine and getting rid of all the individuals who pushed for it in the first place. Fixing America also means no more support for lazy euroshits who should be paying for their own military and protecting their own borders.
