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

[Feline Supremacist]

I wonder if at this point they are considering full NATO involvement in Ukraine. I mean, the US is the world superpower, they can't be defeated by BRICS, even in a proxy war, that would likely lower confidence in the value of the US Dollar. And the prime reason they are fucking with Ukraine is to eventually depose Putin and start to break up BRICS and the SPFS. And end the possibility of multipolarity.

I'm certain the Biden Administration would like to but the Pentagon is less than enthusiastic. The same goes for NATO's European armies; with the exception of Poland and the UK the rest are reticent or downright recalcitrant, like France. No general wants to risk the use nuclear weapons and go down as the man responsible for blowing up the world.

 

[Dude Snakes]

In most of captured towns (Butcha, Izium, Kherson, Maryupol) ruzzkies conducted mass rapes, genocide and force expulsion of people. No one sane will trust ruzzkie monkeys in anything, especialy will not surrender them.

Amerifats: just get that ruzzkie is a natural liar and criminal type. Degenerated "nation" without any culture or moral basis, grown without any faith (and no, ruzzkie orthodox church isn't and never was a real religion - it has ZERO moral teaching).

No deals can be made with ruzzkie, mostly because ruzzkie will never understood what means pacta sunt servanda.

Where did Putin touch you?

Sure, i dont think NATO high command cares that much about Ukrainian casualties, but they care about the strategic theater. Allowing a substanial number of Ukrainian military asssets be surrounded without any clear benefit is clearly incredibly stupid strategically. Thats why i think that they have some sort of plan for Bakhmut, or that Zelensky simply disregarded their advice

The YT video posted earlier claims that most regular army units have already been withdrawn from the town proper and around 10K national guard troops (barely trained conscripts) are left. The Youtuber is overly kind to the Ukrainian army staff, leaving thousands of draft conscripts behind to be killed or taken PoW for the optics is fucking disgusting.

 

[bread n circuses]

If Ukrainian military command had arrested Zelensky and surrendered to Russia on day 1 of the war, Ukraine wouldn’t have lost millions of young people, its economy would be doing fine, and everyone in the country would have electricity and heat.

Now, they’re resorting to throwing fresh conscripts into defending a strategically worthless region(for retarded shitlibs on social media) and pretending that a few dozen tanks are going to magically make Russia give up. Genuinely shameful.

 

[YumeNoHero]

One thing that really stood out for me in this video was "Why blame everything on Russia? It's easy to blame Russia for everything". It really encapsulate this whole conflict down to "It's always Russia's fault".

These people are just foaming at the mouth to get the full on WWIII effect

They wanted to finish everything in five days, but Zelesky flatly refused to eat the tie.

 

[Elämällä on väliä]

areas like Kharkov, Potalva and Zaporizhzhia are either under or coming under Russian control.

Doubt.

The Donbass certainly has resources, as does as the Black and Azov Seas, but those are Russia now,

They are just occupied like Kherson few weeks ago. Probably after war they will be free from ruzzians.

The American people don't care about what the USSR did fifty years ago, or what Russia did in Chechnya or Georgia 25-15 years ago, and they don't care about Ukraine, a county most can't even find on a map.

So probably the dove/isolationists faction will win next elections and end this war, yes? Call me when it will happen, ok?

Where did Putin touch you?

Nowhere, but I had a lot of work with proceding his tribe.

 

[demicolon]

This begs the question "why"? Why is Russia such a threat to the West?

My guess, aside for Putin not bending over and spreading it like Yeltsin did, is that Siberia holds a lot of future potential and everybody who's anybody wants to own it and the rights to anything that could be there. That, and a land route to China.

Blue Steel, Blue Streak, Fireflash, Skyflash, Black Arrow, Malkara, We were way better with naming our shit back in the day

Also is Bahkmut supposed to be operationally encircled now? Apart from that road to the city I forgot the name of which is a dead end anyways

Honestly, if they had of been willing to negotiate from the start, they could have ripped off both NATO and Russia for a lot of assets.

Apparently, the story from the Russian side is that USA and the west are butt hurt that most of the Elite they backed during the Yeltsin´s time got basicly either jailed, killed or got most of their power, positions and money curbed by the oligarchs who backed Putin and by Putin himself. Funny part is that Putin and the oligarchs that backed him where still pretty much pro/west for the most part until 2014 and even then few woke up until now.

But basically either west has it's hand fully up Russia's ass like in the 90's or otherwise Russia is the enemy.



To clarify it a bit more the gist of things was that Putin got into the position of power partially because of the following. Yeltsin on account of the deal he made with him to keep Yeltsin and his family out of prison for mass embezzlements like this.

The Oligarchs that backed Putin ....backed him because he proved that he could to be their front man and helped them keep the commies down and continue to let the oligarchs do their thing
Which Putin already proved prior by supposedly being the man who was responsible for what pretty much looks like assassination of General Lev Rokhlin (official ruled as killing by his wife ) and the men that backed him and among other dark events in Russia in the 90's.

Now among the ranks of oligarchs/elite that backed Putin were also western backed Russian elite at that time. As the west didn't want to see Russia going back to commie land. Which at that time they were still afraid off.

Unfortunately for the west. A bulk of the Russian elite while west leaning didn't want to be western bitches. The most pro western oligarchs and elite got like I said curbed. Others escaped or retain to degree their position due deals made. This people would ultimately become the "St. Petersburg faction." among the intra-Kremlin factions.

Putin himself would ultimately carve out a powerbase for himself also from the mishmash of different coalitions and factions, Partially backed by what only recently the lazy ass western media came to known as the " The Siloviki" and the elite of the "Moscow" faction of oligarchs.

Some Ritter takes on use of chemical weapons. Think of all the liberals and redditors who will have to check celebrity twitter to see if Jason Momoa/Aquaman considers war crimes and the inhumanity of chemical warfare 'cool' now or not.

The big Russian offensive is on the horizon. we have just witnessed the longest missile barrage of the war, and now Polish intelligence puts a massive 500,000+ man attack on the northern flank to coincide with another massive push from the south, this will be supported By 1,800 tanks, 3,950 armored vehicles, 2,700 artillery systems, 810 Soviet-era multiple-rocket-launch systems such as Grad and Smerch, 400 fighter jets, and 300 Helicopters. these figures come from the AFU so it may be a bit lower. but either way a lot of pain is heading Ukraine's way

Осташко! Важное

Assuming it even goes half to plan this will rip out the heart of the AFU, nearly a year of combat with no rotation has decimated their ranks. they have almost no equipment left and the wunderwaffen will not arrive for months. The Russian military made many mistakes, they tried to fight the war with clean hands and the enemy fought with savage vigor. now with Wagner showing the RUAF how war should be waged, the pendulum has swung into their favor. No more Mariupol green corridors and humanitarian aid, no celebrities. now they follow the example of Soledar, if a pocket refuses to surrender, you liquidate the pocket.

The numbers are straight up bull. Man power to tank ratio alone should tell you that. Never mind 400 fighter jets.

Hence the warning. the numbers seem to be in line with the massive amount of manpower the Russian army is putting on the front lines. but the 127th GMRD the 47th GTD and the 2nd GMRD just sort of appeared on the northern flank. plus the shitloads of mobos. plus entire divisions have been spotted back in the field after disappearing into Russia itself.

Don't take my dream of 500 thousands unsupported by anything mobiks. I wanna see it.

That is less than half the equipment Russia had at the start of the invasion, and Ukraine is better trained and equipped than it was a year ago. Russia will make some marginal gains in the east, but will ultimately lose Kherson and Crimea.

See the Ukrainian forces.

That is considerably less equipment than Russia started with.

No.
