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

[Blewberry Nausea]

You know I wonder if the US’s mission isn’t to save Ukraine but to make it so costly to win that Russia just destroys the place. That would make the whole NATO support thing really fucked up.

Sort of. The goal wasn't to have Ukraine win, or even to overthrow Putin (that was in the "nice to have" column.) The real goal was also to disrupt European industry and destroy their economy, bringing European industry over to America and making Europeans entirely dependent on the Americans for everything from energy to protection. Basically Americans are using Ukraine as a blunt weapon against everyone, including their European "allies" (clients). What happens to Ukraine after they're done with it? It'll get tossed in the garbage bin, right next to the rest of their "allies" such as Iraq and Afghanistan. What was once Ukraine will get divided between Hungary, Russia, and Poland, going back to the same borders that region had for hundreds of years.

 

[Blewberry Nausea]

Haha of course the hohol brigade thinks that would NEVER happen. The US wouldn’t use a resistance solely for their own gain even if it meant worse times for that region’

Surely this has never happened before (it has).

 

[Fatniggo1488]

Ignore the obvious Ukraine shilling aside, how accurate is the food situation on Russia's side?

Lol it's not and if it was Ukraine would be absolutely screwed as one of the largest wheat producers because then Russia would fully mobilize and it would be a repeat of WW2 whether the Russian government wanted it or not. We already had this serving of bullshit when the war started. People were freaking out about a "sugar shortage," but said shortage came from babushkas panic buying sugar after reading western articles to make jam and moonshine for trade. The moment the Russian government required buying limits on sugar, all of a sudden you had babushkas realizing that the breadlines weren't coming back and they'd now bought a bunch of sugar that they couldn't actually use. Said babushkas then tried to return their massive hauls of sugar back to the stores and the stores told them to fuck off. I'm pretty sure all this drama unfolded in thread 1 but I might be mistaken.

The rest of the video is just the typical delusional shit you see from NATO simps, but given your question I assume you already realized that. Also worthy of note is your local grocery market. If anyone is having a problem with food it's the US since food prices are skyrocketing.

Assuming you are a journalist this one point proves you're fucking terrible at it. You have no information on the ground in Russia, you're just regurgitating garbage you've read elsewhere. Just another low IQ shit poster with delusions of adequacy.

Alexander Titov, an actual journalist, released this on Jan 11th. He's based at Queens University in Belfast.

For some news, Ukraine's owners are telling them to withdraw from Bakhmut. It's all over, Ukraine bros. All those tens of thousands of dead, just to abandon Bakhmut.

Ukraine should not defend the town of Bakhmut at all costs and should instead seize the opportunity to launch a major counterattack against Russian forces, a senior US official said on Friday.

This industrial city has become the epicenter of the war raging in eastern Ukraine, with massive artillery strikes, slow progress and heavy casualties on both sides.
Bachmut has also become an important political and symbolic award, with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky visiting the front lines in December, just before his spectacular trip to the United States to meet the president and address Congress.
But a senior official in President Joe Biden’s administration says the focus on Bakhmut is hampering Ukraine’s larger task of preparing for a widely anticipated spring offensive aimed at making major gains against the Russian occupiers. in the south of the country.
According to the official, who spoke to reporters on condition of anonymity and was not quoted verbatim, Bakhmut’s timing is more favorable to Russia, given its greater artillery resources and troops. available.
However, according to the official, a Russian victory here would not lead to any significant change in the war, as Ukrainian forces would fall back to well-defended positions.
Rather than wasting so many troops and ammunition on a strategically insignificant target, the United States is advising Ukraine to withdraw these forces to renew and join US-led training programs aimed at building a stronger force. sophisticated and better armed capable of launching an offensive in the south.
The official noted that counterattack weapons are pouring into Ukraine, including several hundred armored vehicles that will be needed for the mobile assault forces.
But training takes time, so Ukrainians need to consider whether to stay in Bakhmut or prepare for broader strategic action, the official said, adding that Ukrainians may not have the resources to relieve the two challenges.

Don't worry, just -5 more days and that mobilization will happen. Almost there! Just got to figure out how to get time to go in reverse...

Poor ukranians, the west refuses to send tanks, the germans claiming the ukranians are taking 100+ loses per day and now the americans admitting they will not be able to eject the russians this year (despite ruscists running low on everything).
Imagine how desperate the ukranians will be in march, drafting every 14+ children to the frontline...

At least the ukranians can hope the early january mobilization and closing of borders in Russia will crush Putin's approval rating before they run out of ukranian children to kidnap

And don't forget that all the Ukrainians currently warming their asses in European countries are going to be shipped back to Ukraine once the local cannon fodder runs out.

Funny how another Ruskieboo and a Ukie refugee got MATI and try to astroturf and fail

I can't feel but feel sorry for you lot since you STILL think Wagner and Russian army will make any meaningful gains and think that they can win this war.

By the way, you are a half Ukrainian and a refugee yourself. How's life now?

Just curious about your opinion, when do you think Zelensky's forces will be able to take Crimea? Any predictions on that?

Meanwhile in Bakhmut...

Вооружение ЧВК «Вагнер» на Бахмутском направлении

Действия штурмовых групп музыкантов поддерживаются собственными минометами, реактивной и ствольной артиллерией, танками, боевыми машинами пехоты и даже фронтовой авиацией.

Высокий наступательный потенциал Оркестра достигается за счет умелого использования данных типов вооружения и военной техники в сочетании с эффективной разведкой и грамотной координацией штурмовых действий.

Естественно, перечень ВиВТ на инфографике не полный. Это только самое основное вооружение музыкантов, которое мне довелось видеть на бахмутском участке фронта.

translation:

The armaments of PMC "Wagner" in the Bakhmut direction

The actions of assault groups of the musicians are supported by their own mortars, rocket and cannon artillery, tanks, infantry fighting vehicles and even front-line aviation.

The high offensive potential of the Orchestra is achieved through the skillful use of these types of weapons and military equipment, combined with effective reconnaissance and competent coordination of their assault operations.

Naturally, the list of weapons and military equipment on the infographic is incomplete. This is only the most basic armament of musicians, which I happened to see on the Bakhmut sector of the front.

Liveuamaps updated, and according to them things got fukd over the last 24 hours. Cauldron time.

If Russia gets Bakhmut, which is very likely, it's only the fault of gayhomos in the West that are still at the discussion stage about what to send.

Reasonable position, no sane person expects some sort of blitzkrieg from Ukraine. Hell, I've been saying for months that no such attrition warfare should be performed by Ukraine. All they need to do is do some, ummm, "freedom fighting" wink-wink, and terrorize the hell out of invaders, while exposing themselves as little as possible. Once Kyyyyyyyyiiiiiv was defended, sabotage&terror 24/7 in the occupied territories, no Russian should feel safe.

The only part of Ukraine that has people capable of anything remotely close to the kind of terrorist activities you're describing is the western rump state, which Russia never intended to occupy in the first place. They'll be Poland's problem soon.

Well, they should fucking get to work already and start blowing shit up in the occupied parts of the country. I literally have difficulties understanding what the hell are they waiting for.
This area has a long tradition of such battles, poisoned wells and burned crops, assassinations and terror inflicting, like Tepes impaling the invader scum at the Danube and more.
You have to be stupid to grind yourself down against a much larger country that will mobilize more and more as time passes, just as it happened in WW2 with both the USSR and US. Each month that passes advantages the larger country. We've had hajduks, partisans, our histories are full of people driven in the mountains only to eventually win against larger foes.
Westernoids also being cringe. The fuck are they doing with these half-measure gibs.
Send in proper amount of stuff or gtfo. Tanks and long range missiles, and planes.

Lol no. None of that.

West Ukrainian nationalists will just sit in their kitchens, get drunk on moonshine, and cry about the le ebil Russians who are clearly the only reason Ukraine isn't dominating the world right now. These people:

The most they can do, if Russia were to ever occupy their native villages, is to steal everything that isn't nailed down and maybe engage in minor acts of sabotage. It's been like that forever, that's what that region is known for. Just ask anyone who borders on it.

Not a good survival strategy for smol bean peoples.
Gotta milk the hell out of the bigger proto-imperial crap and lie to them you'll implement whatever they want, and whenever they turn hostile, you sell their secrets to the enemy and start doing the same stuff there.
Being realistic means that you accept that you won't do much shit alone with a 10-20M people country, so you have to make alliances and engage in diplomacy, even if you hate the people you talk to.
But don't preoccupy your beautiful skull with such high IQ Machiavellian nonsense.
