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

[AgendaPoster]

Ukraine doesnt have the social structure afghanistan has.

For a strong insurgency you need societies with plenty of parallel lines of authority and a large surplus of young men. Ukraine lacks these.

Mega disagree.
There will be people from all over Europe going there to fuck up the vatnik infestation. It will be cozy.

In some lighter news, Zelensky reveals some details about that fateful day in February of last year.

(skit from his earlier life as an amateur clown)

Meanwhile it seems there's a shortage of tank crews in Poland. There are signs everywhere that the government is looking for volunteers to drive Leopard tanks.

In Poland, they are trying to recruit crews for "Ukrainian" Leopard tanks from local residents

“Defend native Polish lands.
Become a tanker. Protect Poland in Ukraine,” reads the call on posters hung in the Polish subway.

I don't even know what's better than that. The fact of the recruitment of regular Polish volunteers so as not to bother with the training of Ukrainian crews or the political context of the posters, which fully demonstrates the imperial ambitions of Warsaw.

🇵🇱В Польше пытаются набрать экипажи для «украинских» танков Leopard из местных жителей “Защити исконно польские земли. Стань танкистом. Защити Польшу в Украине” - гласит призыв на плакатах, развешанных в польском метро. Даже не знаю, что в этом прекрасней. Факт набора очередных польских...

How can this be? Just this thread alone had many Polish posters willing to put their lives on the line for Ukraine, where are they now?

Mega disagree.

I disagree. Ukrainian history dictates that first thing to happen is for them to go settle scores with their neighbors and settle their tribal grievances, rather than join forces and fight Russia. It will be West Ukrainians vs everyone else (East Ukrainians, Poland, Hungary, etc), essentially. History will repeat itself over and over, it's nothing new.

Here is the full video of Zelensky's comedic performance mocking Georgia and Ukraine as Bush's minions.
It's amazing how Zelensky has transformed into his own characters.

And by the way, the Russians did 9/11, trust me bro

And Wagner is objectively better than Mozart.

Thanks for posting the full one. It's pretty lol, even for being a knock-off of Ravshan and Jamshut.

It's pretty amazing just how much he's making fun of his current day self in that skit. Wish there were subtitles so the rest of the class could laugh too.

Why do the historic linguistic, cultural, and economic affinities of the Ukraine toward Russia indicate a likely reunification of the Fatherland?

Historically, the Ukraine has held strong linguistic, cultural, and economic affinities to Russia that are emblematic of a unity between the two countries. These affinities suggest that reunification of the Fatherland is an eventuality that may be anticipated in the future.

First, there is a primarily shared Russian language spoken among both populations. This occurs even though there is also recognized Ukrainian language and ethnicity in both countries. Because they are used interchangeably, it is not difficult to assume that many citizens prefer more of one language than another. Additionally, acculturalization with the distinct habits and customs of the other region encourages understanding and amicable connections between them culturally as well as emotionally.

In addition to these linguistic similarities, there have been strong economic ties between Russia and Ukraine since Soviet times; During this time period most industrial goods produced by both countries was traded domestically rather than through foreign markets meaning implementation of international cartels with western powers as well as on state fall under significant restraints from Moscow’s perspectives It makes plausible sense for fathers in power then or now understand such free-trade between their respective borders so long as any given government has strong ideological alignment with theirs own type of administration its inevitable trade barriers come into full effect quicker when tariff wars become some sort consequence inside exclusive partnership agreements involving formal leances or even informal dynamics can result in cooperation afterwards if said partner deems counterweight outweigh detriment bring forth goods amongst each other hence successive generations alike still maintain commerce reflecting such soundness policies once set up (Benefits/Consequences) .

Thirdly, Russian culture has found its way into Ukraine via television programs and mediums of popular culture entertainment largely seen Subsequently this evolution has surely presented powerful ideologies both complimentary concerning strongly shared beliefs simultaneously contrary ones along divergent causes including music cinema fashion Ultimately such growth creates irrevocable manifestation towards recombination after substantial dissolution soon after Prague Spring event occurred; Current research indicates subtle shifts in majority opinion suggest reestablishing closer ties whether temporarily necessary purposeful means greater strength.

Finally, it cannot be understated how indispensable important historic memories being passed down generation thousands years are ancestors fought defend Fatherland against common enemy conquerors imperialism colonialism nation unified right decides order fulfill duty weal not wickedness again In like manner can ascertain will reunification occur matter when observation over previous events yield answer realm possibility subsequent collaborations remain undisclosed but none doubt timeline appears closer from what happened years ago Perhaps further progress persist facilitate union faster either whole or parts remains inconclusive but prognosis deem projects plausible yet completely unpredictable thanks every precedent establishing cause prior theories strengthened support alliance goal thus reaffirming desire seek reunite join arms together united Ruskiy Mir again one-day God help us all relevant potentials available lets pray best our dream come true

As some (including myself) have predicted, the training that Ukrainian troops will receive in the use of western tanks will be minimal, meaning that either the tanks will be manned by disguised NATO troops

For some economic news, the UK is having a hard time keeping up with Russia, like some have correctly predicted last year.

UK economy to shrink and perform worse than Russia, says IMF

The UK is on course to be the world’s worst-performing big economy this year, according to the International Monetary Fund. In an update to its growth outlook, the IMF delivered a hefty blow to Britain’s prospects despite brightening global conditions, with a 0.9 percentage point downgrade to the UK

I will point out that the IMF have for the past few years been underestimating the UK's future economic predictions, which our economy always doing better than what they predicted. I bet there's a lot of people within that organisation which are still salty about the British people daring to go against their EU masters and telling them to go shove it back during the referendum and the subsequent Brexit victory, so they've been punishing Britain in the economic forecasts to try and 'persuade' businesses not to invest here and actually hurt the economy as a result. I'm not saying the British economy is great at the moment, as we have the high-tax Jeremy Cunt Hunt in the Exchequer flogging all our business, but despite that we've still managed some form of growth.

https://order-order.com/2023/01/31/all-hail-the-latest-imf-forecasts/ - Where I'm taking this all from.

Also I think this was the same body which stated that all the sanctions were gonna crush the Russian economy and the Ruble would join the likes of the paper towers of 1930's Reichmarks, but that never happened, the Russian economy had a shock but it's managed to realign itself and is now seemingly doing fine despite the external hostility, and as you all already know, the SMO/Invasion against Ukraine is against the Globohomo world interest... Just like how Brexit was a kick in the bollocks for them as well, funny that.

And besides all that, there have people been sounding the warning bells on the German and French economies due to the cuts in Russian gas and especially German businesses saying they're at risk of going bust, but yet the IMF is still giving these countries favourable economic forecasts. All of this gets my noggin' joggin', just saying.

[TheAntiCoomer]

Time for some good news. Remember the American off-brand LARPer knockoff of Wagner PMC, called Mozart? Well, they're done. When confronted with the prospect of actually facing Wagner in combat, they promptly shat themselves and ran back home to post on Instagram and grift money from gullible /k/tards. Mission accomplished!


For some economic news, the UK is having a hard time keeping up with Russia, like some have correctly predicted last year.


And now for a look at Sweden's chances of joining NATO. They are non-existent.

Your post spewed so much shit I thought at first you were trolling. Mozarts goal is not to get into combat like mercenaries, they are there to train troops and provide aid. And yeah it was retarded, but they didn't shit their pants and run, they disbanded because they are retards and retards can't work together for very long.

The UK economy is shrinking because its dealing with a crisis its government has put off for very long, brexit not meaning brexit and pms ditching the sinking ship. This has nothing to do with Russia, and I don't doubt the same thing will be happening in Russia after this war sans brexit.

Sweden is 100% joining NATO, Turkey is gonna get buttfucked after messing with the American empire while being a member of its alliance. The CIA is still capable of couping people, especially during an election season.

Remind me again, what happened the last time Turkey had a coup, and what about that fella Guaido, is he the president of his country?

Citation needed.

American PMCs like Mozart and Forward Operations Group weren't there to "provide aid." They went there on what they thought would be a safari, but ran away after most of their members ended up fertilizing rich Ukrainian soil. I do agree that most of them are retards, though.

It has everything to do with Russia, seeing as the UK is one of the main driving forces behind this war since 2014. Did they not implement a massive laundry list of sanctions against Russia, most of which ended up biting them on the ass later by means of not having access to cheap energy?

Sweden is 100% joining NATO, Turkey is gonna get buttfucked after messing with the American empire while being a member of its alliance. The CIA is still capable of couping people, especially during an election season.

Again, citation needed. Turkey doesn't give two shits about NATO anymore and are preparing to go to war against another NATO member, so they're not going to care about the opinion of the Americans, they don't need those F-16s that much.

And the CIA can't coup their way out of a paper bag. Just in the last few years they failed at having coups in Belarus, Iran, and Turkey, and I'm sure I'm forgetting a few others.

Reads like "you can't fire me, I quit" to be honest. But to be fair, Russia also ceded a city without a fight earlier in the campaign.

As some (including myself) have predicted, the training that Ukrainian troops will receive in the use of western tanks will be minimal, meaning that either the tanks will be manned by disguised NATO troops, or that poor Ukrainian mobiks be forced to learn to drive tanks on the fly. Either way, not a good look for NATO.

Theory: Those tanks are actually being given to Poland and will be used to stabilize Western Ukraine when the government collapses in late Spring.

5 weeks of training will be just enough that the Ukrainians can't hurt themselves on the equipment.

Possible. I could see Poland doing a "peacekeeping mission" to "stabilize" West Ukraine while essentially occupying it.

The way I read it they are saying Ukraine CAN hold onto Bakhmut if it wants to keep sending supplies and reinforcements, but it may decide the city is no longer worth the trouble.

It means basically the same thing. It's all in the spin both sides do. Just like how Russia didn't want Kiev, it was just a feint! Vs. Russia got beaten back and had to retreat!

Either way the situation for Bakhmut is not looking good. Ukraine is going to have to push that thrust towards Chasiv Yar back or else it's essentially game over.
