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

You have no knowledge about why USD is a reserve currency and why any shit from BRIC's will never be a reserve currency.

First of all - how stupid will be CPC to make theircurrency free in exchenge?

Second of all - what the heck is worthy to buy from Brasilia or India?

I didn't come up with all of this myself, god I'm not smart enough for that, I've been watching various pundits and stock market guys in podcasts and interviews mention these things over the past few years.

Ah, my mistake, but he had already formed collaborating Ukrainian units before he was prisoned.

Nope.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ukrainian_Legion_of_Self-Defense this one was created in 1943. 14WSS also was created in 1943. None of them was created by Bandera.

In 1945 most of ukrainian soldiers was grouped in Ukrainian National Army, but in simple words: that wasn't have anyconnecions with Bandera.

The dollar wasn't the currency people used to trade before the 20th century, and it doesn't have to be in the 21st, either.

Before him was sterling (and UK was superpower in that days) and gold, good luck.

About that. Three days ago the Indian refiners started paying traders in dirhams for Russian oil.

Now just find someone who will sell something for currycoin. And he isn't in India...

https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transferrubel I'm sad, but about last atempt of ruzzia reserve currency and trade currency based on gold and to use only by kewl kidz of communism I cannot find any simply written text in english. Use on this page google translator and read how it ends.

But I do believe Chechnya is not Russia

It is part of ruzzia.

It still blows my mind that they think a small number of MBTs are going to be such a big game changer. None of these tanks are invulnerable to AT weaponry. It's not like WW2 where Germany suddenly found a huge chunk of their AT weaponry useless against the T-34 because they couldn't score frontal kills. Leopard tanks were easily destroyed by outdated ATGMs in Syria, and Yemen has been scoring easy kills on Abrams tanks the Saudis bought from the US with old ATGMs they got from Iran.

I also wouldn't really be surprised if you don't end up with some of these tanks being killed by Javelins since Russia has captured a lot of them, and the Javelin, hilariously, is better suited for larger tanks like the Abrams since top attack works a lot better against larger tanks.

What would really make a lot more sense would be industrial support for them to get their own factories back up and running.

I don't know if the Javeline can kill much of anything to be honest. There's plenty of videos of Javelines being fired at BTRs and BMPs (not even heavily armored targets) and either not getting any kill or just getting a mobility kill. These things cost 200.000-250.000 dollars a unit, Imagine having spend 2 or 3 of those to take out one lightly armored troop transport, the numbers simply don't add up. I think NATO is realizing that while the soviet stuff is bad, the NATO stuff is bad AND expensive so now they're scrambling to get rid of it while also trying to get some live fire demonstration in Ukraine so they know what to fix.

I was watching Putins I think last speech at the WEF. He referred to the globalist experiment as a failure, and the only way to go forward now was world multipolarity. Klaus Schwab seemed a bit uncomfortable after Putins speech.

Soon after Russia invaded Ukraine. Putins profile page on the WEF site was removed.

Relying on a non Russian currency, artificially tied to the US dollar, makes Russia a firsthand cuck to the middle east, and secondhand cuck to the United States.

Except countries are still purchasing the oil, ignoring the useless sanctions and the idiot price cap.

If the recently leaked casualty figures are correct, Ukraine is taking literally 10x the casualties russia is.

One of the biggest issues with the Javelin is that it really needs to score a good center line hit when top attack is used to be lethal. The problem with that is most eastern tanks are a lot smaller than western tanks. There's a fair chance that the Javelin misses them entirely when in top attack and if it scores a hit on lets say the the hull right above the tracks, the worst it's going to do is like you said only cause a mobility kill. Well, with that mind soldiers are naturally going to stop using top attack. Once they opt to stop using top attack the Javelin immediately becomes the most unwieldy man portable AT weapon in the field which naturally means it just gets left in storage somewhere.

The other kinda naïve thinking behind the Javelin's top attack ability is that "it's fire and forget so you can't counter battery fire it." That little theory might work with an enemy that only has a small amount of indirect weapons here and there. It doesn't work against an enemy that has enough indirect weaponry to wipe a whole grid square clean in a couple of minutes. It was also something that came into service before small infantry portable drones with anti personnel weaponry started to become commonplace, and you're not going to out run one of those.

Edit:
From everything we're seeing, things like the NLAWs and Carl Gustafs have been infinitely more practical in this war.

Those countries are still purchasing that oil below the price cap due to the fact that 90% of insurance for Seabound cargo is issued by G7 countries, and the volume being purchased, is not enough to make up for revenue loss before sanctions.

The New York Times just came out with an article that Ukraine does not have enough manpower to hold back the Russian assault in the East. They also highlighted that T-90M tanks are back in the battlefield. Article confirmed by Rybar.

So why the brics still using USD? If it is so bad and worthless, why they didn't dorpped it already and didn't use own currencies in trade?

[Rei is Shit.]

Well, " shock and awe " is the best modern strategy if you could manage it, which few can. I think that Russia tried it in the beginning of their invasion but abandoned it because it couldnt be done. So they changed strategy to a decades old one ( which kind of works, ngl )

What i have seen is that Russia is using its artillery, probably the best doctrine for them at this moment. Lightly equipped prisoners that charge Ukrainian positions, they die and then russian artillery/more experienced units identify Ukrainian positions and assault these. Quite smart, get rid of prisoners for a rly small cost. Most of Wagner does poorly equipped wave attacks, the more experienced original wagner does infiltration coupled with artillery, worked in Soledar. But plenty of sources now say that Russian regular military has largely replaced Wagner in the area, whether it is due to huge Wagner losses or simply a power move i dont know ( I believe in the former )

Other offensives seem to be in Kreminna-Svatove, pushing the Ukrainian offensive back. And Zapohirzhia, in Vuhlnedar. The former seems to have some success, but battles in the forests are difficult and costly. The Vuhlnedar attack has been unsuccessfull with major losses ( from what i have seen on geolocated videos )



I just dont see how Bakhmut is a meat grinder in favour for the Russians. They are attacking fortified positions in an area dominated by civilian buildings against a determined defender, the only advantage Russia has is their artillery. But the consensus amongst most observers is that Russias artillery advantage has lessened compared to the similar situation last summer. Its still greater than Ukraine, but is also more unprecise.

There is one example of 'shock and awe' being done. If you think a single data point is enough to draw sweeping conclusions like that, then good luck.

I think its obvious in hindsight that the US would've been better off if it had bombed every ammo dump and weapons stockpile in Iraq instead of transformers and communication hubs.

I think the plan was to show the global south and Eurasia that western sanctions/economic punishments was still a guaranteed path to economic ruin. Secondly they wanted regime change in Moscow and to make Sevastopol an American port. This was a wildly ambitious, if not outright delusional set of objectives especially considering that NATO is in no position to challenge Russia militarily. The European militaries are a joke and the US is primarily a naval power, they don't have the capacity to fight a land war against a peer opponent. Once it was clear that economic sanctions weren't working they should have immediately sought a deal that would save face. I think they've at last recognised reality hence the recent signalling that they'll accept a settlement that will cede a quarter to a third of Ukraine to Russia in return for a deal, but it's too late for that now.

This is my read on it as well. Try to kill the Russian economy as a demonstration of vital swift and the other western systems are. The problem is those things aren't like landing a man on the moon or splitting the atom - there are plenty of other countries that have the ability to duplicate them.

Now we are seeing those other countries set up alternatives at a much faster rate then they would have otherwise. The oil sanctions against Russia were supposed to work because most of the shipping insurance was based in the EU. Instead the ME and Asia have set up a bunch of insurers. In a way the Russians are being forced to subsidize the creation of alternative shipping insurers... which I guess is kind of a win for the US lmao.

The west has gotten high on its own supply and forgotten that many of the 'services' it provides to the world are in use because of convenience and historical inertia.

Because real life isn't a videogame where you click a box to change reserve currency. It'll take years for the process to unfold but it is clearly happening right now.

But ruzzkie and their friends didn't - they gold reserves are smaller than Germoneys. Even Germoneys.

 

[TheAntiCoomer]

People predicting the collapse of the US economy or the waning influence of NATO are retarded as hell. Why would China ever weaken its own investment? It relies on America doing well so that it can make bank off its debt, why would Brazil ever switch? Because Russia is under threat? Why would India fuck itself over, to follow Russia and China, they people they've been having stick wars with? Why? The only reason you'd switch is if a clear better option is available, the rubles in the shitter, brazil sucks ass, Chinas too unpredictable.

Same shit with NATO, people been talking all this shit about how NATO actually sucks ass and is running out of things to send. Bruh you do realize that it is made up of the largest budgeted military in the world, the combined GDP of all relevant parts of europe, and they all have a singular enemy in Russia. Just take a step back and realize that numbers don't lie, Russia is fucked in a hot war scenario, and the only reason they are still around is the nuke.

> Turklet doesn't understand that given Russia's extremely rate of gold production and high number of gold mines, they quite literally own the gold market. Germany has no significant means of gold production, neither do most of NATO countries. What's going to happen when their reserves run out? Back to sucking Russian dick, like a Prishtina prostitute on a tour of Moscow?

Meanwhile a drone factory in Latvia has burst into flames for like, no reason. Sorry Baltcucks, no drones for you.

A drone manufacturing facility caught fire in Latvia.

According to local media, the flames spread quickly. At least 50 firefighters are working at the site.

The plant for the production of unmanned aerial vehicles of the company UAV Factory, presumably, is burning in the Marupa region in Latvia, the Delfi portal reported on Tuesday.

I'm not sure of what is exactly happening behind the scenes. But at the very least watching the formation of BRICS. The rhetoric of Putin. The movements in the World Economies. Would suggest to me, the rest of the world is just fed up with US hedgemony and this is the first stages of pushing back.

This year even the MSM is predicting major recession, and some independent pundits are predicting depression. So I don't think BRICS gives a fuck about US buying power, things are going to shit no matter what.

The Jew York Times is the semi offical mouthpiece of the State Department. The fact that they're now telling something approaching the truth speaks to how bad things have gotten. Still plenty of cope, the Russians are losing 10 men to every Ukrainian or something, but these kinds of articles are placeholders to maintain credibility and to prepare a narrative shift.

If you're running a business in China, Russia or India your number one concern is what you do if you don't get paid. Cash up front, great but what if my supplier decides to run off with the money and he's the brother in law of the local government head or chief of police? This is where the west shines, or at least did. Having a relatively non corrupt and robust legal system for redress of commercial disputes is a massive competitive advantage. So the Burgers deciding to outright steal billions from Russian businesses because they don't like their government is fucking stupid.
