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

[CaptainAutism69]

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?

Doublenigger Glowie still trying to guess my nationality. He called me Chinese in the Covid thread...now I'm half Ukr and a refugee...ooooooookay whatever son. Take your meds? did you swallow? No not that, the meds...

You have a slave mindset.

Comes with being a Romanian. Genetic memory and all that.

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 people in the East have beeen doing their freedom fighting for the last 8 years. Hohols would be rooted out and tied to a lamppost.

 

[Lev El Shmeckle]

Oh yeah sure. Ukraine keeps losing. That wouldn't actually surprise me considering it's an ex-Soviet slavshit hellhole, but if you insist, I'd go with that. For nearly a year they keep losing and they're about to lose everything so that Russia, bled out, weakened and defenseless is prepared to be cannibalized by the Bashkir ISIS death squad, which will exterminate all ruskis in Ufa before they start forming Kazakh death squads to that get ready to hatchet all remotely European-looking Bolsheviks in Moscow, while the Perimeter\"Dead Man's Hand" is finished nuking 500 million Europeans.

Cool.

Perhaps you would like to stick to the Holocaust thread, this particular topic suits you way better than political discuss, little fella.

Whenever the Khazar overlord (aka Erdogan) decides

I beg your pardon, Erdogan is a Turk?
At least he was assigned Turk at birth?
How have it happened we don't know of his nationality transition, but you do, fellow reddit user?
Why have we got this crucial information that late?!
End point is near!

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.

This train missed by a mile for Ukraine, however?

 

[Glowie]

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...

Let's review the progress since last February.
Russians forces retreated to annexed territories after Ukraine received modern weaponry to replace their aged soviet era arsenal, anti armor, 600 donated tanks and HIMARS caused mass retreat to annexed territories.
Ukraine receives aid package, tanks, armor and more potent and long range bomb that can be launched from HIMARS the GLSDBs with range of 150 km ,(source) which can hit Mariupol, Crimean bridge the only one left and other targets. Picture related

Russian forces stationed in Crimea are fresh conscripts from the region. Same Applies to Mariupol. When the military bases get targeted by GLSDBs, archer artillery systemx and regiment of tanks Ukraine can cut off only source of units, supplies and units to the region.
Ukraine controls water plants in Krakhiv which supply 80% of the water to Crimea.
I don't know if you know much about military, battle of attrition and what happens when a bridge bound region gets cut off from all supplies. Only route left is sea of Azov, supply routes for ships go through NATO choke points.

Considering the fact Putin failed his two day liberation plan. Fresh untrained conscripts can't do much to artillery fire, much less cross the body of water to territory controlled by Ukraine.

 

[White_N]

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

This idiot believes that MREs are the basis of the diet of armies; it seems he is not familiar with field kitchens, and this is where you can finish familiarizing yourself with his analysis and throw it in the trash. And as for Russian MRE, it is not necessary to heat canned meat or porridge, although it is desirable, but also biscuits with jam or pate and condensed milk or other sweets take up a significant part of the ration; all this is ready for consumption immediately. Oh, and yes, army rations for sale, especially abroad, are not the same as those given to soldiers, but I think that should be obvious.

 

[RobotDog]

My fuck. Countries like America didn't become empires by letting the Romanias and Ukraines

Pls keep the romanian mentions at a minimum, everytime I heard about those euro hobos I have to check if my wallet is still around.

On other news, Zelenski is never running out of ways to get its country cucked, now he begs for F-16s, because THAT'S what his country needs to finally beat the russians, just like when they just needed javelins, himars, bradleys and western generators and transformers.

That's nice, but do you have a specific date in mind? When do you think Ukraine will take Crimea and the rest of their territories back, if ever?

 

[White_N]

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.

It's insanely difficult to pull this off without retaliation; you need someone like Tito or Franco; otherwise, you won't milk the empire, you'll suck them off.
Realistically speaking, only Erdogan looks like an independent agent under the patronage of the empire, and even so, his economy collapses every couple of years.

 

[Badungus Kabungus]

...you won't milk the empire, you'll suck them off.

They'll be happy to do either, as long as something comes out of it.

Some news on the Zaporozhie front. As I said earlier...

According to Rybar Russian forces are making serious advances on the Zaporizhia front toward Orihiv. It is difficult to say if it is a limited offensive or the beginning of something bigger.
It seems that the Ukrainian forces in the area are weak with a huge lack of artillery and armored vehicles as these equipment were probably redirected toward Bakhmut so its is probable that Russia decided to exploit that weak point at the right timing.

We milked it before when we used it to get rid of turkroaches.
Not my fault some people are 10IQ
Some gambles will fail, some will win, gotta keep trying.

 

[Overly Serious]

According to a French general earlier / yesterday, the USA is urging the Ukranian leadership to pull their forces back from Bakhmut and surroundings to train and to mass for a big push towards Melitopol.

What I think is going on is that the Ukranians have been trying desperately to hold on to the Donbas because they believe and are probably right, that the USA wont help them regain territory from Russia once it is genuinely annexed and not really contested any longer. Which explains why the UAF have been sacrificing so much at what appears to be a losing battle. They just want to hold onto it long enough that NATO forces will come in and help them retain it. Meanwhile the USA's interest is in preventing Russia from holding onto Black Sea ports. They really don't give much of a damn about Ukraine really, but they want like crazy to wrest Sevastopol from Russia. Wildly optimistic but consistent with what they've been trying to accomplish for a long time. One of the first things done by their puppet president was to tear up the agreement with Russia for lease of Sevastopol, leading to the annexation of Crimea. They want Ukraine to give up on retaining the breakaway republics and drive South in some huge wave to break through and seize Melitopol because if they do it sort of keeps open the door to seizing Crimea in theory. The Americans care a LOT more about that than Ukraine keeping the
Donbas.

That's my guess anyway. And it looks like Russia is trying to advance the South border whilst the defence there is quite light. I reckon Bakhmut will fall by the end of the month. Question is if the UAF can pull their forces out of there before then.

 

[Glowie]

That's nice, but do you have a specific date in mind? When do you think Ukraine will take Crimea and the rest of their territories back, if ever?

Look at what happened in Kherson, Russians fled to Crimea. Russian army is running on fumes.

Did you expect Kherson being liberated, that took some time.

That took time, proper coordination and superior weaponry that Russia lacks.

At best this will end up in stalemate with Russian army and Wagner both bleeding resources and manpower. Ukraine unlike Russia hasn't didn't roll Order 227; shooting anyone who retreats.
What do you get when your only ally is last dictatorship in Europe with WW 2 era equipment against fortified Ukraine with EU and NATO backing and sending current generation weapons and trained Ukraine personell.

As pointed out before russian army is a archaic disorganized mess and prigozhin is running out of prisons and guns for hire at this rate.

Answer me this; how could underequipped, demoralized and army lacking resources hoping to gain any ground in battle of attrition?

 

[White_N]

Please don't. That kind of hustling will end up you being in Romania

Just pick a date already and stop squirming. Don't need the exact day, the month will do. By when do you think Ukraine will regain its territories, including Crimea?

In some other news, an American Navy SEAL got Wagner'd in Bakhmut.

A American Navy SEAL was killed while fighting alongside the Ukraine military after a Russian attack.

According to Time, Navy Special Warfare Operator First Class Daniel W. Swift died on January 18 after suffering injuries while serving alongside a unit under attack by Russia.

Considering the fact Putin failed his two day liberation plan.

Ooooh now we are down from three days to two!
So where's that source?
And where is the source for the mythical 500k reserve announcement?

 

[🇷🇺Fuck Ukraine🇷🇺]

Moscow times source
Another
I don't know about you, I don't think 300 can afford, food, rent, medical bills and other essentials.
After seeing glut of Russian refugees, mail order brides that fled Russia during start of mobilization tell me otherwise, workforce, nurses, doctors and others who were part of 700.000 exodus tell me otherwise.
There's public outrage over reforms then some, seen in approval ratings

And inflation of Russian ruble
Inflation of Russian Ruble, which is accurate as seen below
Real time tracking of Ruble. Euro to Ruble is comedic with 75 to 1
69 rubles to one dollar

Futhermore Russian oil and gas is Russian only notable export to Europe
Which was banned last December
United States did so earlier

Energy sector is THE export to Russia.

Preventing Russia's only choke hold over Europe
Despite Russian propaganda touting Europe will have Siberian winter like so here
Reality proved this winter is record breaking warm

Russia got cucked by energy sector and climate. Which is hilarious in itself

On Russian housing prices they soared by 11%
Source here

Cost of rent for a single room is 400 USD and prices are even higher in big cities

I don't know about you, but that's pretty steep when 300,000 rubles are considered to be pay for 1-3 years Since average monthly wages are 13,000 rubles at highest
13,000 rubles is 175 euro/USD
To compare high earned for skilled workers earn


Number people in poverty grow by 8 million because of the war

Piss poor wages in comparison to
Norway for example

More statistics, you know you love them.

To me those are third world tier wages and cost of living, not to mention quality of life in numbers

That shit right there is third world tier to me, which was made worse due to war.

I've seen enough refugees and workers who funnel money back to Russia due to the fact wages are shit.

Which would explain why large chunk of Russian youth Ages between 18 and 35 still live with their parents

I can attest to this, not only I have seen it personally but numbers back me up.

From crunching numbers alone, you could tell that Russia is screwed in long term and its shit place to be.

Exactly the point I was making. You just regurgitate shit, attach some word salad links and call it proof.

Your 'Tim Pool' journalism blows.

 

[The Foxtrot]

They just want to hold onto it long enough that NATO forces will come in and help them retain it.

Which is equal bits hilarious and sad. They should understand by now that NATO forces aren't coming to save them or help them. What they've gotten so far (weapons shipments and "volunteers") is all they're gonna get. They're dying in droves for a lost cause...actually, it's not even a "lost cause" if it was never going to happen, is it?

The best thing Ukraine could do now is write off Donbas and Crimea, and pull out of the eastern half of the country (itself basically just Russia at this point, none of the locals actually consider themselves "Ukrainian"), bolster their defenses in the western half (which is where they actually have support) while offering a conditional surrender to Russia by offering to cede those territories previously mentioned. Russia accepts? War's over. Russia refuses? Actual Ukraine is easier to hold onto.

Do you really think that Russia's Vietnam happens in days and Wagner company which is undermanned and inept russian army that's 80% cannon fodder Mobiks can hold out for years?
Just tell how Russia could pull off comeback when their industry and economy is in shambles.
Implosion is a matter of time when advanced weaponry start to roll in, repeating mid 2022 on steroids.

Keep coping about how "de-nazification" failed and revel in minor gains.
Meanwhile Wagner group suffers more losses and recruitment gets harder

Wagner company which is undermanned and inept russian army that's 80% cannon fodder

Imagine the state of the ukranian army when undermanned and inept 80% cannon fodder russians gets to push their shit so hard the US just refuses to believe they are going to be able to remove the russians out of their newly acquired territory this year, and the germans start to sweat bullets about the ability of the ukranians to keep fighting

Ukraine-News am Freitag: Selenskyj will weiter um deutsche Leopard-Panzer kämpfen

Die Ukraine-Konferenz in Ramstein blieb eine Entscheidung zum Leopard-2-Panzer schuldig. Für den ukrainischen Präsidenten Selenskyj ist eine Lieferung des Kampfpanzers alternativlos. Das waren die News am 20. Januar 2023.

www.spiegel.de

US Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman: Difficult to eject Russian forces from Ukraine this year

U.S. Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman Gen. Mark A. Milley said on Jan. 20 at the Ramstein-8 summit that Russia’s full-scale war will likely “end in a negotiation” and not on the battlefield.

So, what about that early january mobilization and closing of borders my dude? Did you learn to read just goog enough for us to get a source on that one?

Still trying to use same line as a 'gotcha'

Damn, those pesky time travelling russians, just said fuck it and started the early january not closing of borders really, I mean really early january, 4 months early january to be exact

Nice cope. Tasty, with a sour aftertaste. Exquisite mouthfeel.

When do you think Ukraine will regain all their lost territories, including Crimea?

For some news, here's another zrada. Sounds like Ukraine's "armored fist" will consist of a squad of Mykolas with pots on their heads, because the US and Germany will not donate them any tanks. Maybe by spring, after Ukraine lost another 20% of their territory. Or is that spring of 2024?

Slavyangrad

The results of the Ramstein meeting and the main statements of the Pentagon and NATO leaders: ▪️The USA and Germany will not donate tanks yet. One of the reasons: it will take a lot of time to train them to operate the Abrams; ▪️Allies are focused on helping Ukraine; ▪️The Pentagon expects to...

idk...ukraine already retook a fuck ton of their lost territory since the war began and has performed better than anyone could of expected.
