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

Looks like /pol/ and Tucker are really bad at propaganda and doing amateur hours at posting falsified photoshops and only looked at snippets, not the whole thing.

Site's failing to attach/upload images so i'll have to imgur, I'll do thumbnail later if edit still possible

Yeah, this is really bad for Tucker in particular. He was one of the bright stars of future conservative thought 20 years ago and is now falling for retarded zigger propaganda and sharing it with millions of retarded boomers. If he doesn't retract and apologize for this like Ana Kasparian did recently, he's lost.

I know it's incredible, but even on Russian state TV you will find more accurate takes than Tucker's - which he has not yet corrected, and probably never will.

Took a look on Twitter, Michael Tracey and Glenn Greenwald are all over the leak stuff, with Glenn basically acknowledging that he has no ideology other than fighting against the "security state", and that he always did just that. Obviously the "security state" only means the US. Other countries, no biggie, they can have armed forces, espionage and everything needed to defend yourself against enemies.
But the US must prove that it is not evil by dismantling all of its defenses and allow itself to be manipulated and destroyed by competing powers.
Wow, this is a great ideology to have, it almost smells at resentful hatred towards the US and by extension, the "West", all while being silent at what other countries do. I remember Greenwald being incredibly mad at Sam Harris because of his "Islamophobia". Can't criticize anything but the evil US of A.

Par for the course. This disabled T-62 shows no signs of refurbishment despite Russia allegedly being about to refit/manufacture 1.2K MBTs annually according to the military geniuses in the other thread.

Missing modules, control surfaces caked in rust, switches and other inputs snapped off or unresponsive, missing screws on every panel, hydronic fluid pooling in every corner. I wonder if those "modernized" T-62s were a farce and most shit was sent out the door as long as it could start up and had a functioning main gun.

Not sure if this was reported yet but a T-90A was shipped to the US. I wonder if it will eventually be put on display.

I think the consensus is that it's headed to Ft. Polk, for study & use at JRTC.

In regards to that T-62, it's missing a lot of fasteners & parts because it's in a can-point.

Shawshank is one of my favorite Ukrainian YouTubers; IIRC before he started a channel, he demonstrated in a video (aimed at Russian tankers) how to disable a T-72 by squirting a little water in the transmission control module, which is easily accessible by the driver. It's a small box with an unsealed cover held on by a couple screws, and any moisture will immediately short the system & immobilize the tank. Brilliant design.

The "Blame America First" crowd has always been a hotbed of subversives. Back in the day they were the USSR's fifth column and today they're primarily Russia's. Not so much China, I think they view China solely as the muscle that will come to Russia's aid despite the enormous disparity in power (economic, military, diplomatic) between the two.

Problem is that's not going to happen. China's more than happy to continue trade and diplomatic relationships with Russia but they're not going to get involved in supplying them with military equipment, especially anything they don't want to fall into US hands. Some companies might sell dual-use components and the like at market price, but that's just because they want the income.

No more motivation than that.

For the slavic Easter, Prigozhin released dozens of Ukrainian prisoners taken by Wagner, without exchanging them for Russian prisoners:

TNSTAAFL
He's definitely angling for something. It could be he's expecting to deal with the Ukrainians when the war ends, one way or another; since Prigozhin seems to be the only Russian they have a grudging respect for. At the very least he's trying to lessen a future prison sentence if he's somehow captured by Ukraine. I can see him immediately surrending the moment he's sure that a speedy trip through a window (or radioactive tea) awaits him back in Russia.

Edit: this is the first time I've seen an ATGM/Javelin launched from a cell-phone tower/mast. Top attack ftw.

reading too much into it i think
most likely it's just a simple "look how noble and gracious we are" pr move

New Perun.

Finally one on propaganda, which I feel is a largely ignored, yet incredibly important part of war and civilization/state conflict in general.

True, it's performative; but again, when it comes to Russians (and Jews)... TNSTAAFL.

Prigozhin isn't stupid, he's probably aware that his days of having a place at Putin's long table (and staying alive by staying in Russia) are getting short, and he's exactly the type of survivor/opportunist who would try to pull a Himmler (or less insane Hess) towards the end.

For the slavic Easter, Prigozhin released dozens of Ukrainian prisoners taken by Wagner, without exchanging them for Russian prisoners:

Is there a source for there being nothing in exchange? Every news story I can find refers to a "swap" or "exchange":

Russia's Wagner releases over 100 Ukrainian prisoners of war for Orthodox Easter

Russia's most powerful mercenary group, Wagner, sent at least 100 Ukrainian prisoners of war back to Ukrainian forces to mark Orthodox Easter, according to a video posted by the group's founder, Yevgeny Prigozhin, on Sunday.

‘An Easter exchange’: 130 Ukrainian prisoners of war freed

Ukrainian official confirms exchange of POWs on the day Orthodox Christians in Ukraine and Russia celebrate Easter.

So TNSTAAFL applies rather directly.

So in a bit of entertaining, non combat related news, Donbass Devushka, one of the most popular Pro-Russians on Twitter and Telegram, has been doxxed.

Now the dox isn't exactly special, but what makes it hilarious is DD has claimed to be a Russian from Lugansk and grew up during the midst of the civil war ever since she started LARPing soon after the invasion kicked off. In reality she is a middle aged American woman who was born in New Jersey and lives in Washington state.

 

[Fuck It We'll Do It Live]

Russian they have a grudging respect for

He's the closest to a "warrior leader" among the Russian leadership, considering his PR appearances in full camo uniform among his troops, and his outspoken begrudging respect for Ukrainian organized defenses and resistance, unlike the suit-wearing KGB spook who hides in his palaces and larps about an Eurasian ultra-Russian nationalistic dream of eliminating Ukrainian identity for good. He has been at the forefront of expanding Russia's influence in the Middle East and Africa and likely seems himself being considered the new soon-to-be recognized leader of Russia by the West (and China).

The fact that the mass-negstickering /chug/ger 102 liked your post in a pro-Ukrainian thread suggests that even the Ziggers are coming to a similar conclusion that their waifu Putin is no longer cutting the mustard.

In reality she is a middle aged American woman who was born in New Jersey and lives in Washington state.

Feline.....?
