Ukrainian Defensive War against the Russian Invasion - Mark IV: The Partitioning of Discussion

Fuck a year goes by fast. Happy anniversary guys. I never thought I'd live to see an aimless military blunder surpass GWOT but here we are. I'm assuming all the top tier Slavaboo social media pages are on lockdown to prevent people for spamming the two week predictions?
It's definitely Russias biggest fiasco since the winter war. We will probably find out this year if the Vatniks will top their performance in the Russo-Japanese war.
 
From how we've been seeing mobiks & Wagners being motivated lately, I fail to see how this one is still breathing, much less standing up; especially after supposedly catching a beating from the comrades he went caveman on with a hatchet.


And from the sound of it, the only NCO in the picture is one of those who was drinking; because that was definitely an officer scolding them like children.

OH NO GUYS, WE ARE DOOMED, CHINA DECLARED WAR ON US! An they are sending a milion volunteer corps into Ukraine! Invaded Taiwan! Glassed New York! LINK: https://www.mfa.gov.cn/eng/zxxx_662805/202302/t20230224_11030713.html

Ok, I will don't joke anymore. This peace plan isn't even a peace plan, it is just more like blahblah. But on 12 points only one is positive on ruzzia: call to abandon unilateral sanctions.

All other - China is still mostly angred by ruzzkie actions and their impacts.
 
This but unironically. The poles are the US and their vassal states in NATO vs China and their Russian vassal state. Biden gave China Russia's natural resources on a silver platter after bombing NS2.

I can't wait until all of Africa is running on nuclear energy and considers itself Wakanda realized. After all, we have had absolutely zero natural disasters caused by people too stupid to boil water.

As opposed to the top minds in Russia that are sending young men to die for nothing? I'd rather work with Nigeria.

Of course they are. There master plan to take out Taiwan and seize the south China Sea relied on a complacent USA and its allies to allow for a swift Fait Accompli. Russia has instead shaken the NATO tree house so hard even Japan saw the branches shaking and is starting a massive rearmament program.
 
russia is incapable of doing anything in moldova at the moment aside from propaganda campaigns and complaining.
if anything, we're seeing them (moldova and romania) build a narrative which may later be used as casus belli to put an end to the transnistria situation.
I heard Moldova told Russia to get its soldiers out of the country.
Same. KF really, really needs a "popcorn" reaction.

Every time I check the progress - or lack thereof - my jaw keeps dropping harder at how objectively little Russia has made. It's about to the point I need to put a pillow on the floor before I start looking. The breadth and depth of the incompetence in their military is so bad that it just defies Western thought to understand.

At this point the only way they could decisively win in short order is to take a page from Red Alert 3 and send a BOC (Blob-'O-Conscripts) like they already did repeatedly in WW2. But they can't even put that together.

Barring a massive Ukie/US fuckup or an unforseen Russkie win, I'm about at the point where the best outcome Putin could get from this 'war' would be to spend the last of his long-range rockets on some rainbow-freak parades, so he could at least claim to the people of Russia that he cleansed the earth a bit.
That's what the Russians have planned. They are already into a second mobilization and there will be a third. In a few months they will have 600-700 soldiers in Ukraine. Zeihan said the Ukrainians will have to kill Russian soldiers at a rate of 8-10 to 1. He says the Ukrainians can't pull that off. The only way they can even attempt is by out maneuvering the Russians but the countryside there is still muddy and that will make that kind of difficult. The ground won't dry out till May or so.

I really don't see how throwing more poorly led poorly trained and poorly equipped conscripts into the conflict will change the course of it because that's what Russia has been doing and it hasn't helped. People bring up WW2 but this isn't WW2. The technology is different. I just don't see it changing things much. All I see is a bunch of Russians dying for nothing.

 
One year ago,the invasion started.
I was one of those who thought that Russia would after some hard fighting, would win after a couple of months and it would be a guerilla war.
I am glad that I was wrong.
1 year and a day ago, when Ukraine was personified, this is what we got. The Hetalia version. Simple farmer girl with great, big...tracts of land who had a complicated love arrangement with Russia.

What a difference a year makes. Team Z got really mad when I pointed out no matter how this ends there has been a seismic power realignment in Eastern Europe. Russia is not going to make Ukraine cease to exist at this point, and that battle hardened and CLEARLY competent Army they've built in the past year is not going to cease to exist after the war ends either.

It's not outside the realm of possibility Ukraine will emerge from this war as a regional power on par with France or Germany once its economy recovers. Especially since Zelensky is using the war as an excuse to go after corruption and 5th column elements in the government. Obviously not immediately, but the country is responsible for fuck ton of the world's food supply. And it has oil.
 
We're coming up on a year of war. It's absolutely nuts I thought this would be over in maybe two months at the start. Instead we've seen an absolute dumpster fire by Russia that is about as embarassing as 1904/1905 against Japan, except at least that time they lost flagships in a pitched naval engagement and not to a nation whose largest warship was scuttled by themselves.
Comrade.
I thought Ukraine would last about two weeks, except for pockets/insurgency. Then I thought they'd last until soviet armor arrived. And now here were are. Russia cucked & gay.

Here's the full UN General Assembly vote on telling Russia to leave Ukraine:

No, you don't understand, it was a brilliant feint. Russia pretended to try to take Kyiv, when their real plan was to get bogged down in a year-long war requiring mobilization and depleting their entire munitions stockpile.
Jesus christ that is a massive ammount of L. You lost Cuba. How the fuck did you lose Cuba?

Herro? Herro? This on? Greetings most honerrable round-eyes. Can the gweilos killing those other gweilos please stop? It fucking with both our economy and our food prices. Its important everyone respects physical boundaries, but also that nothing be done when tinpots don't respect them that will affect our ability to move money and goods.
Also please stop forming military alliances as that will make it hard for us to push around the countries around us.
Also its very important that countries both stop interferring with other countries as we prepare to retake our rightful territory in Formosa.
Thank you very much.

This is hysterical, but also typical. There are probably dozens if not hundreds of stories like that happening all the time. Ukraine should just airdrop crates of vodka on the frontline and watch ruzzkies take out themselves.
 
The ground was not frozen as the plan required, meaning the Russians had to stick to roads.
Don't forget, Russia delayed their invasion, possibly by almost a month, because China didn't want its winter olympics ceremonies overshadowed. If they had gone in January instead of February, much more of the ground would have been frozen.
 
Reminder how up to the last second of the invasion, Russia supporter was downplaying the threat of the invasion:



Also in the news, Ukraine tankers are getting used to the Leopard II in Spain.


snippet from article:
As Ukraine's forces prepare for major deliveries of armored combat vehicles, troops are training on Leopard tanks in Spain.

Per reporting from Ukrinform, Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez said at a joint press conference with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy on Thursday that a group of soldiers are learning to operate the heavy armor.

"Together with the contribution of other allies, these units will contribute to push the capacity of the Ukrainian Armed Forces," Sanchez said.

Sanchez revealed that the arrival of Leopard tanks in Ukraine would correspond with the return of trained soldiers.
