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

Artyomovsk (Bakhmut) - the agony of the garrison of the Armed Forces of Ukraine



Judging by the speed of falling resistance of the units of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in Artemovsk, they did receive an order to leave. In the morning there was information that the most combat-ready of them were leaving the city, and then more and more data began to appear about the progress of the Wagner PMC inside this settlement.

This means that the next few days (or maybe a day or two) may be the last for parts of the Kiev regime when they still at least partially control this city.

Yeah Russia will take over all of Europe given the chance. Just ignore the fact their struggling to invade the shittiest most corrupt hole in Europe. You've been watching too much TV.

Russia: WE NO DO NUTTIN!
>Invades everyone

If Russia takes over Ukraine (and/or other EE countries), they will probably run the place as Russians tend to do (corrupt, abusive, economically inefficient, shortages of necessities), and I would expect the Ukrainians (and/or other EE countries) remember how that felt and strongly desire to avoid that fate. Hence, why they want to be in NATO without need for compulsion by the US.

I always see this argument, and it represents short-term thinking. Russia is struggling now, but they have vast natural resources that could be redirected to a war economy. If they take Ukraine, they'll add its population, resources, and industry to theirs. Put it all together, and in 10 to 20 years they could build up a massive war machine right on the border of several countries they might decide belong to them.

Are you all just outright ignoring the fact we know since 2014 the Ukranian government has been controlled by the US? It's the US doing everything, right on the border with Russia. What did you expect to happen?

 

[Jet Fuel Johnny]

It's the US doing everything, right on the border with Russia.

Key word.

"Right on the border".

By that theory, we should be able to go in and kick the shit out of Mexico and those faggot leafs.

Russia doesn't get to decide what other people do with their countries any more than anyone else.

It certainly doesn't get to use military force.

All you're doing is carrying water for a bunch of retarded potato smuggling faggots who think they can do whatever they want as long as they scream US BAAAAAAD!

The only difference between Russians and Arabs is you can beat an Arab till he understands not to piss in the house.

Oh I get it now, you guys are emotionally invested in your "team" and if someone tries to do a more nuanced analysis they must be from the other "team" okay I'm outta here.

Don't let the door hit you, faggot.

For the record, I want both sides to die in nuclear hellfire. Grifty-Z and Rootin' Tootin' Putin deserve each other.

 

[Unarmed Gunman]

What? No, that's horrible! It would be marked with gross excesses, it would be inefficient, corrupt, oppressive, everything really.

So...you want a unipolar world with one hyperpower fully controlled by globalists or a multipolar world with different spheres of influence who aren't able to control everyone and everything?

It's such a simple question that seems to really trip you up.

OK, If that's your logic then guess what, there's a little fact you might not know. Russia shares a border with American territory in Alaska. So since they are making alliances with countries we don't like we should be justified in drone striking Moscow right?

I see you've clearly thought things through, so I hope to one day logic my way into your way of thinking. I'll start by wearing my pants on my head and see how long it takes until we think and talk alike.

Russia is the largest country on the planet.
It doesn't need any outside influence.
Hell, maybe Russia should be Polish influence area if we're to go there.
To make it spicy, we could give the ewwwwnime enjoyers from Nippon the East part of Russia to influence.

You call it "nuanced analysis", I call it whitewashing. You're like that American libtard on twatter screeching how shooting the armed nigger who broke into someone's house was racist.

Believe it or not, there are such things as right and wrong in this world, everything exists somewhere on that spectrum. In this case you're judging where the invasion that killed thousands and displaced millions lands, as opposed to whatever the fuck you think would've happened otherwise.

[mindlessobserver]

Probably around the same time mindless observer gives us an update on how Ukraine is destroying Russia with hundreds of thousands of causalities in the insignificant highway rest stop known as Bakhmut in what always has been Ukraine since Prince Vladimir, a true and honest Ukrainian, chased the orc Mongol known as Vatnik Khan away in 15,000 BC.

If you are going to call a user out, at least have the decency to @ the user nigger faggot.

Also, Vladimir the Great was not "Russian" in the modern sense. The "Rus" were Scandinavian adventurers who took control of various Slavic tribes in various regions. Vladimir was the descendent of Swedes who took control in the Dnipro area and established Kiev. Muscovy were ruled by Swedes who settled in the Volga area.

They were all "slavs" but it's like saying the Poles and Bulgars are Russian just because all three share a common root language and ethic makeup. It's silly. And it also ignores the fact that the ONLY thing that unites Ukraine, Poland and Russia is all three were at various times Swedens bitch.

And these Americans, are they in the room with us right now?

What did you expect to happen?

I expect Russia to be a bunch of Dunning-Kruger drunken louts with delusions that the world is envious of them, so basically the current situation, but that would be the case with or without US involvement in Ukraine.

[prolapsed_cranium]

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.)

No. Most of people chuckling it up over this shit watch the Reddit NCO over on YouTube.

They fail to be concerned with how dangerous expanding the theatre of war is

 

[Stoneheart]

Well Haiti just asked the world for an invasion and an invasion of mexico to stop the drugs from flowing would be more than justified.
for the leafs, just invade them, only france will ask if they can get parts of it...

Russia doesn't get to decide what other people do with their countries any more than anyone else.

Well eastern ukraine said we leaving. in a vote much less rigged than US elections. if you take away the right to vote from people, war will be the only way to go.
thats how WW2 started btw...

Its a pretty just war... Russia is defending the rights of russian people in a former part of Russia... sounds alot more justified than lets say the war of northern aggression...

First link (2021) 73 rub to buy 1 usd
Second link 70 rub to buy 1 usd

At least we agree the ruble is stronger now than before the war. It's the same story vs the Euro.
Aaaaaaaaaaand, the value of the ruble only really matters for international exchanges, not domestic consumption, which since Russia is locked out of SWIFT, and busy forming an alternative to USD monopoly, doesn't seem to be a problem. Russia has it's own resources, and if anything other countries are dependent on it for their economics (look at where gas, fertiliser and wheat comes from) Hell if countries want to buy oil from Russia (and they are), they have to buy it in rubles, as dollars are no longer accepted. The Russian economy is booming compared to say...the UK

So booming!

So called boom deflated and inflation kicked back in

For reference, average Russian wage is 57,000 rubles, which is is 700~ euros per month

Average western wage is twice that (Hell even Welfare) , after essentials, possible rent, annual water and electricity bills. Housing is affordable, quality of living, social services and others are reason why Russia suffered brain drain after moving to countries with wages that do not border on poverty line and don't require you to live in ghettos and outskirts of Moscow, barely affording rent, food and everything else what is left after rent, food and essentials.

I don't know about you. I don't see stagnating commodity market, imitating north Korea and trying to convince Russian citizens and foreigners that russian economy is indeed booming through sleigh of of hand and blatant delusions.

Ruble is weak, western wages are higher and technological sectors are thriving, while russian energy sector and agriculture are at standstill after sanctions crippled all exports.

 

[No. 7 cat]

They were sold for closer to 14k iirc, and the 500k includes some refurbishment. These things happen when you sell stuff off for scrap metal value with the retarded logic that you won't need tanks again.

It is something to behold. A country once able to operate with ruthless efficiency in deepest, darkest Africa now only a menace to the oldies, poors and shizos they euthanise at a startling rate. Slovenia very neatly updated their old JNA T-55s, with guns, sights, armor and thermal vision, so if the work is at that level, the 500k won't be war profiteering. Remains to be seen. Probably was at a more basic level unless he had some formidable connections.

The leafs were conquered in the Fallout universe and the US did try to conquer it in 1812 (with the leafs and Bongs burning the White House) ancient justice, ancestral gods and shit. No greater justification needed. And the Democrats will probably have more voters.

500k for a tank is dirt fucking cheap as long as it's in running order and can fire modern ammo tbh. It's well outside the range of war profiteering.

The contraction coming to Russia this year after the sugar high of the high energy prices and stealing all the western shit in Russia that investors left behind is going to be glorious. It looks like even with the fed raising rates we're not even going to have a recession here, the US is so glorious, we just can't stop stacking W after W.

 

[Alaric the Visigoth]

Holy shit dude. It's one thing to support Ukraine but the absolute dick riding you do for the US is fucking nauseating to read.
