Ukraine is the second or third most profitable war in terms of selling merchandise
Pressing X to doubt. The Ukraine-Russia conflict is one of the most boring wars ever. It's David against Goliath exept David is a retard that happens to constantly get bailed out by his relatives. The most exciting aspect of it is third parties wanting to get involved without officially being involved. That and betting on which round of sanctions we would reach by the end of the year!

You're right, no one will be enforcing it, but it makes it a war crime anyway. And you don't have to surrender to an aircraft (although you could argue that signing to the drone should be considered one), but dropping +2 bomblets on an already wounded soldier IS a jerk move.



My wife asked me why the ukrainians don't do that. You have to consider that first you'll either have to convince your platoon to do so, or somehow avoid them. Then you have to sneak past the barrier troops, and finally cross probably open terrain without getting shelled / shot and hope the ruskies will not shoot you and will treat you well.
Not a life insurance plan.
Well that's if you're not actively under attack. If lets say for instance your unit is holding up in a village or something and Russia is clearing door to door as is common in urban warfare it wouldn't be all that horribly difficult. Biggest risk would be that they just shoot you on sight not realizing that you're trying to surrender. I've also heard of people playing dead before to do it.

Edit:
I'm guessing part of the reason why Ukraine is implementing blocking/barrier troops is because they've been having problems with soldiers just immediately surrendering or running off. It's probably happening more than we know about since neither side likely wants it talked about too much. Russia wouldn't want to bring attention to it because it might be seen as shaming which would discourage surrenders, and Ukraine wouldn't want to bring attention to it because it could hurt their morale and help Russian morale. Likewise Russia would likely rather Ukraine not know what percentage of their MIA numbers are actually surrenders.

But if wasn't. Ukraine existed as a German created state from 1918-~5th of February 1919 when the Soviets captured Kiev

By these constraints, Ukrainian SSR didn't exist either.

They were a self-proclaimed republic that was completely occupied by the Soviets. They were as much of a real country as any SSRs (that is to say, not a country). They didn't even have a real flag. That said, if you say that Ukrainian Soviet Republic was the first, then Ukrainian SSR can't be the first

You realize that you are not achieving anything but mildly annoying me?
You'd realize if you looked at the link that the Ukrainian SSR was the evolution of the Ukrainian Soviet Republic, which being founded in 1917 predated what the Germans tried to do in 1918. Furthermore to be a legitimate state you have to have a functional government that provides basic services over the majority of the territory it claims to occupy. Neither the false state that only existed thanks to the German military or any of the other factions competing for control of the region meet the definition of a state that occupied the current borders of Ukraine. There was this thing called the Ukrainian War of Independence going on so no there was no German state according to the definition of a state being that hostilities did not end until 1921 and no party ever had total control of territory it claimed.

So what was the first state of Ukraine then? An autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic enjoyed more rights than the average American state insomuch as it was legally able to withdraw from the union without consequence and had full administrative control over the activities within its borders in all areas beneath the Union's purview. Thereby the Ukrainian SSR met the definition of a technical state in the most basic sense of self administrative control within specified borders. Now Ukraine did not become a sovereign state until 1991, but the Ukrainian SSR was the first legitimate state of Ukraine, to call itself such and occupy the current area that now defines the modern sovereign state. I blame the misunderstanding on the faults of the American education system and fact midwit political scientists in universities differ on exact definitions of state vs sovereign state.

The last time Americans brought so much merchandise based around a real life war, 9/11 recently happened.

Now all we need is the right wing grifters to dish out some pro Russia merch.

Congrats. That makes your 1917 point invalid, and mine valid.
as it was legally able to withdraw from the union
There was literally no mechanism for that in USSR.

German Ukraine, though, had both rights, legislative body, some form of a military, ect. It was a genuine state of Ukraine.
 
nigga every single post WW2 sacred cow should be immolated along with all the weak faggots who erected them. lesser lifeforms do not have a right to exist in nature. all life is struggle to evolve in order to survive.
Nigga this is exactly why I will ally with the US to fuck Russia up, eternal struggle for power and survival.
Aaaaand we are back at muh Tiny Unpatriotic War and seething about Le Ebil Natzees
NOBODY should care outside Western wine moms. Keep coping lmao.
 
Haven't seen this posted yet but it looks like the MBT's the west are sending to Ukraine are going to be duds.

The US are removing the depleted uranium armour panels from the M1 Abrams.

And the UK are humming and hawing over the Challenger 2 being used on the front line in case the fabled Chobham/Dorchester armour falls into Russian hands (as it probably will), and possible contingency plans to stop them being captured by the Russians intact.

On top of that the Leopard 2's getting sent are mostly A4 models which proved notoriously vulnerable to Kornet ATGM's in Syria, so those captured NLAWS and Javelin's should be getting put to good use soon.

There's no point sending good MBT's if their not going to be getting equipped properly or used away from heavy fighting...

The M1 Abrams would have been formidable but with gimped armour its going to fall pray to pretty much any ATGM in theatre, although it will be lighter on the plus side.

I doubt the M1's and Challengers will even make it by the time the spring offensive/war is over or if they do it'll be too late for them to make a difference.

Global oil markets are bracing for more upheaval in the next couple of weeks after the European Union bans all Russian refined oil products in retaliation for the war in Ukraine. Starting Sunday, the 27-nation bloc will prohibit imports of Russian gasoline, diesel and other products used throughout Europe.

Interesting, though I feel like that's more of a political move. They'll still import Russian stuff (like they do currently) through India, Turkey, and China

Oil is a global market, so the impact of the latest ban will likely be felt beyond Europe. Ilardo says there will undoubtedly be turmoil in the global oil markets initially.

"We'll ... have a price spike definitely in February right after the ban comes in place," he says. "This will be simply a market reaction. Markets don't like uncertainty, so they usually react with price spikes."

That's not good news for consumers or businesses in Europe, which is already struggling with a weakened economy.

"But I think the difficult question is whether that economic pain is enough to change President Putin's attitude towards the conflict in Ukraine or his wider policies towards the West," he says. "And I think that's much less likely to happen."

"This won't really stop Putin, and only really hurt the Europeans, and here's why that's good!"

I hate European leadership with a burning passion.

You don't say? I do disagree with his reasoning, but the conclusion should be obvious to anyone. Ukraine war weakens US' ability to deter, or fight, China.

" "Supporting and strengthening the law-based world order is one of the priorities of Finland's foreign policy."

Lmao.

In the margins of the EU-Ukraine Summit taking place in Kyiv today, EU High Representative Josep Borrell announced an additional €25 million support to Ukraine’s de-mining of liberated territories.

Unironically, good.

The next six months of Russia’s war against Ukraine will be “critical” according to U.S. Central Intelligence Agency Director William Burns

Very interesting

The European Union will train 30,000 Ukrainian soldiers by the end of the year, the Ukrainian news agency UNIAN reported on Feb. 3, citing EU High Representative for Foreign Affairs Josep Borrell.

“Which means 30,000 personnel of the Ukrainian Armed Forces in total,”

For Ukraine's sake, I hope he means "30,000" in addition to the current forces, otherwise they are saying all the Ukraine's armed forces are about to collapse.

Tldr: Russia and Ukraine is losing about the same amount of troops each day, while Russia cleverly uses inmates as shocktroops meaning they are loosing very little valuable personnel, but this is somehow a big loss for Russia, or something.
 
I haven’t watched news in a while, has Putin saved the White rice by sending his legions of Chechen jihadists to Paris yet?
Honestly Russians smashing their way into Benelux countries would be an incredible thing to watch. Hell, I WOULD volunteer, sacrificing my life for killing and eating a lizardfolk or Gobohomoo van der Kalergi faggot.

Before you faggots laugh, this is beyond any "jihadi" or "incel" bullshit. This is one last raging against the dying of the light.

A few weeks ago Ukraine had lost 30K troops and the Russians 150K.

TLDR the US has no clue as to the Russian casualty rate but for reasons they're now fessing up to the Ukrainian.

Vkrainians are so brave fighting to be a colony of blackrock for le huwite race, just about as brave as when my grandfather stormed normandy so I could live to see brave black trans qweens twerking on top of destroyed confederate monuments.

Heavy emphasis on "according to western officials"
Sounds BS as much as "human wave" tactics. Wagner use inmates as vanguards to detect traps (eg: minefields), but they're not thrown at fortified UA positions indiscriminately. In Bakhmut, the russians outgun and most importantly: outartillery the AFU badly (1:10), and they use it to inflict heavy casulties without exposing own troops to danger.

According also to US sources (Douglas MacGregor and other nobodies who are "persona non grata" in MSM) the figures are closer to 120-150k dead on UA and 20-50k dead on RF side (total)
 
Apparently there's some sort of bounty for the first Bradley destroyed.

I wonder if the people who think it's legitimate for Israel to attack Syria due to Hamas getting weapons through there think it's legitimate for Russia to sink this ship. (I don't actually wonder this.)

It's different, though, because God said Israel can do it.

I wish you lived here and understood how completely fucked America is. We are not the same nation who defeated the Soviets. You ally with us and you are going to end up being sacrificed or paying for it when we lose.

It was not a legitimate state is was a puppet state of Germany. The German state aka Hetmanate was a joke; while it may have concluded a treaty with the soviets it never had sovereignty over its territory which was actively still embroiled in a civil war. The entire time it existed there was open rebellion within its borders and war still going on between factions of UPR under Petliura who was never properly overthrown and still in open rebellion, green armies in south led by Terpylo, and the Makhnovshchina in the South/East who had almost 1/3 of entire country in their control. So declaring German Ukraine a legitimate state would be like one national block (central powers of WW1) recognizing a faction in a civil war because it benefited them. If the central powers won WW1 then yes Germans would have had time to pacify the other factions and make it a legitimate state but they never did and there was still an active civil war going on in Ukraine until 1921.
