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

So they tried to get their hands on Kazakhstani oil. But:

Oh, if only there were more nations than just Kazakhstan that were capable of supplying oil to Europe.

Didnt the Hohlol special forces chat shit about all the reddit legion because they arrived full of vigour about btfoing the vatniks only to shit their pants and run the moment all the missiles and bombs started dropping. Theres been a few articles in Vice, Washpo and BBC interviewing returning fighters who all complained it was nothing like theyd seen. I guess Ukraine taking 20k volunteers without vetting will inevitably have a real variance on quality. I remember one american who went with no combat or relevant experience who wanted to be a sniper.

Yeah, culminating in the Great Reddit Missile Strike of 2022. Some gigabrain doxed their location for updoots, resulting in hundreds of casualties. To think, all that reddit karma is now lost, like tears in the rain...

There are still a ton of mercenaries running around there, but they're more experienced. The ones who weren't experienced didn't survive long.

Edit: Some news from the two idiots meeting. Photos of Duda and Zelya seeing their handywork... What was that line again?

"Look on my Works, ye Mighty, and despair!"


What this dishonest piece of shit neglected to mention is that the battle for Lviv in 1918 was between Poland and Ukraine, culminating in a Polish occupation of West Ukraine.

Polish connection

President of Poland also commerated the graves of Ukrainians who attacked Lwów in 1918

Sounds like you yearn for the days of communism when you could declare any dissident to be an enemy of the state and make them disappear. Careful with those kind of wishes, they have a tendency to come true. I did predict Russia will make it as far as Romania this time.

Keep crying. I'm not a shitlib and never was, I said that in clear from the start. I am a keen power observer, and the mechanisms that power is used and achieved through. That means I understand very well friend-enemy distinctions and have no qualms with strong states that have actual rules. I just don't want libshits to have those powers wink-wink.
I only want the West to do the same things Kremlin does to its opponents.
You bitch about our special operation to keep the hohols going and deziggerify the Donbas?
We'll make use of the state power against you.
After all, the shitheads in the West literally send the police for abusing trannies online, abandon that, and go after Russian propagandists instead, lmao

From what I remember, a significant portion of people don't have a pension plan and pensions have largely been phased out except for government jobs. "Top 40%" is also weasely because nearly half of the country doesn't pay much taxes due to them not working or working minimum wage jobs. There is a bit of a gap between the welfare addicts/dollar general employees and a factory worker. Top 17% of income is something like $110k to further put things into perspective. He would have to claim that everyone should have a pension regardless of their job or income and those pensions should be modified to achieve quality of life "equity".

Yes, but this "equity" can only be achieved be taxing other members of the top 40%. But in doing so, the worker is not ultimately getting paid what they are worth so it would violate Mr. Wolff's own labor theory of value argument.

Anyways, I will stop my sperging against communism.

Why should the west do you any favors? What have you done for them and why should you get to dictate western policy? Did you volunteer your time, money, and health to fight le ebil Putin? No wonder you miss communism, it was heaven for people who do nothing and just make demands of society.

Speaking of M777s, here's one being introduced to a Lancet drone.

Time for more Lancet videos. This time the victims are two Polish 155mm Krab artillery systems. Check out that ammo detonation.

For all you World of Tanks fans, here's some primo T90M footage, working in an urban environment, did not specify where exactly. Can see some direct strikes against Ukrainian positions. Can't wait to have a go at some ancient Polish Leopards 2PLs.

"Waiting room music" was kino. Notable that in the second vid at 3:00, the incoming small-arms fire stops after the T90M knocks the building down. Guess that was them.

Confused Ukrainians in Kremennaya forest get killed on camera.

Spoiler: death

Part 1 (link)

Part 2 (link)

The whole scenario itself is perplexing. When I first watched the shooting video, I thought the cameraman was Ukrainian judging by the fact that the two men did not display immediate aggression. If they knew that the cameraman was Russian, they would've fired. It seems like the most plausible explanation was that the Ukrainians thought the cameraman was a comrade, leading to their deaths.

First explosion looks like a shaped charge going off, shooting a liquid jet of molten metal through the whole thing, and the second explosion is ammo or something else going off after being hit by the shaped charge.

Edit: This thread needs more WAAAAAGH!
"Russian soldiers have built a mobile automated turret platform practically in the trenches. Capable of suppressing fire and more precise aiming. Video from November, published just now."

Could see it being real, it's not that hard to build that. Hardest part for me would be procuring the twin PKMs.

Looks real to me. You're used to hollywood fuel-air bombs, but those things are designed to persist and look good on screen more than anything. Realistic explosions can be surprisingly underwhelming.

From a distance, obviously.

Some tactical context to this. Basically they both fucked up and the Russian soldier got incredibly lucky that the Ukrainians thought he was on their side.

Russian soldier: You're assaulting through an objective. You do not have to accept a surrender, and obviously shouldn't run up to a position and get into an argument with the enemy.
Ukrainian soldiers: You always need to have 360 security. Both guys should not have been facing the same direction in that situation.

Zelenskiy strips Putin ally Medvedchuk, three others of Ukrainian citizenship

President Volodymyr Zelenskiy stripped four political figures of their Ukrainian citizenship on Tuesday, including pro-Kremlin politician Viktor Medvedchuk who was transferred to Russia last year in a prisoner swap deal.

www.reuters.com

I don't necessarily think that kicking out people who commit treason is wrong provided that they have another citizenship or the ability to obtain citizenship elsewhere, but I do feel like the president having to power to just yeet people (or act like he has that power) is concerning.

For reals though why can't the Ukrainians just assassinate their political rivals like everyone else?

Do you have any citation on this?

It was hard to track down, but I've found the source.

Sad situation, flanked with no idea of what's going on. Then the Russian soldier with no other options had to shoot them.

These are the kind of guys forcefully conscripted by Zelensky's goons, now just nameless and dead in a foxhole to defend some shithole they were thrown at.

Now that you mention it, they both look over the normal military fighting age.
