Russian Special Military Operation in the Ukraine - Mark IV: The Partitioning of Discussion

[Feline Supremacist]

Happy Airborne Forces Day to our Russian friends. Have a bit of Izmail zarada.

Russian servicemen in the SMO have filmed a video to celebrate Airborne Forces Day.

The video, set to the song "Sineva," which was first performed exactly 50 years ago, showcases the work of paratroopers on the front line.

On 19th July, the Russian Defense Ministry warned that, following the breakdown of a grain deal, all ships sailing to Ukrainian ports in the Black Sea would be considered by Russia as potential carriers of military cargo.

The strikes on the port of Izmail can be interpreted as a reminder of this warning.

I guess those broken windows in Moscow were really worth it, for hohols.

Finally, much to my surprise Google tells me US citizens can serve in most non-US militaries without any worries about citizenship issues. It looks like you could even be on the Russian side, since there's no overt hostilities.

The biggest drawback is, if you serve in a foreign nation's military, you can forget about serving in the US Military or getting a security clearance for a civilian job requiring one.

I'm assuming Israel is the exception to that rule?

I'm assuming Israel is the exception to that rule?

I'm pretty sure that, officially, there's no exceptions.

Unofficially, I don't fucking know, I'd assume going off and being a war criminal in the IDF wouldn't prevent you from being allowed in the US military. Especially with the over-inflated reputation the IDF has of being these badass warriors, which is the result more of propaganda and the Arabs fucking up enough for the Israelis to survive the various wars they've been in. The actual performance of the IDF is...less impressive.

Back on topic: I know a bunch of the Anons here have been saying Ukraine's fighting a media war, but I didn't really think that hard on it until last night. Then I realized...yeah, the Ukrainian Armed Forces' actions have all basically been PR stunts for the camera, not actual moves by a competent standing army to win a war. If you look at everything the Ukies do as "Fake it until NATO comes in to save us!", then it makes a lot more sense. They're not even going hardcore scorched earth to deny things to the Russians.

The most hilarious thing about that retarded meme is that it relies on the bullshit talking point all the nigger cattle were promoting that Russia was out of modern tanks

The most hilarious aspect of all this was their initial talking points of Russia supposedly using 60s era technology and fighting with rusted Ak47 and freezing to dead in the cold due to no winter gear, and they rapidly shut up and tried to ignore the Hohols fighting with WWI machineguns, getting supplied shitty body armor, and I never saw any footage of the supposed Winter gear delivered to them by NATO

For me the most ridiculous universal assertion is that Russia's military is totally inept and unequipped but if we don't risk nuclear annihilation then they'll soon conquer all of Europe. That still seems to be a constant narrative.

it's the inability to demonstrate even a shred of respect. If NATO was willing to show Russia even the slightest bit of respect they wouldn't need to keep a war on life support because they kept on shitting on Russia while being afraid of what they could be capable of.

edit: And a Sargent, no less. Does anyone know the rules for US citizens serving in the military of other countries? I thought it was a no-no, barring maybe Our Greatest Ally™, though maybe Ukraine is approaching Israel levels?

This might sound a bit hyperbolic, but I legitimately think at this point Ukraine's relationship to the U.S. is pretty close to what Manchukuo's relationship to Japan was back in the 1930's. Yeah, ostensibly they're an independent country and government, but everyone except those who want to be fooled knows who's actually calling the shots. The fact that people such as the late Stephen Cohen were documenting how since 2014 Ukraine was more or less being "colonized" by Americans only invites more uncomfortable comparisons between the two.

I was noting that as far back as February last year. All of the big things they were pushing - the "Ghost of Kyiv," the defiant last stand of the defenders of Snake Island, the alleged (and later proven false) Russian strike on the Babi Yar memorial - all were very clearly and deliberately manipulated stories and narratives fine-tuned precisely to capture the imaginations and tug on the heart strings of MCU/Star Wars brain-rotted Western social media users, with the obvious intended goal of getting these NPC's to clamor for NATO to give Ukraine everything they wanted, up to and including direct military intervention.

One positive of this war is globohomo losing all their mercenaries. How many deep state "awol" navy seals, columbian mercs, syrian "freedom" fighters and antifa "super soldiers" have gotten shredded with shit the soviets were using to fight the OG Nazis? Imagine throwing away your goon squad for Ukraine. Lmao.

They're wanting Crimea back. Oh, and the territories of the golden horde and older "great turkic empires".

 

[General Emílio Médici]

It's fucking Clown World War out there. You have African Mercenaries on both sides, Neo-Nazi Hohols and Neo-Nazi Vatniks, Chechens on both sides, NATO SpecOps on UA and Iranian and Chinese "observers" on the RU side, Taliban showing up to watch, Syrian leftovers on UA and Syrian Assad on the RU.

Nothing makes sense.

Globohomo mercs aren't on the ground in this war. Alphabet, Blackwater, Academi, cops from anti-terrorism units, the guys that wear hats with the punisher logo on them, etc. Globohomo mercs are all former special forces and guys that have been in the deep shit security industry for years. The Westerners fighting in Ukraine are a bunch of redditors and brainwashed vets with CTE. The world is better to be rid of their existence, but unfortunately it isn't hurting (((them))) very much.

 

[Kuritan Deplorable]

I'd be interested if anyone would try to get Turkey to enforce that international warrant on Putin, or if anyone will show up and try to do it. Turkey is a country full of untrustworthy cocksuckers, after all.

Not a chance. Turkey is not so stupid or bold as to try and arrest the head of state of a nuclear armed power - Any negotiation on that front starts and ends with "Release him immediately or fry like a Thanksgiving dinner". Any 3rd party entities in Turkey have to overcome Putins Security detail and Turkish forces who would be extremely invested in ensuring Putin is not kidnapped under their Aegis - Both for the former reason, and the latter aspect that its geopolitical suicide to show you can't effectively protect foreign dignitaries. Hope you like politics via Zoom meeting when nobody trusts you.

The arrest warrant is ultimately just posturing and grandstanding, setting up for a final cozy flag waving in the event of a Russian government collapse - Offer to recognize the new government as legitimate, in return for a suitable figurehead to run a show trial on.

I wouldn't explicitly consider this a loss for globohomo. Terminally filtering out the retards who jump at the opportunity to fight means you're not worried that they grow disillusioned and hostile in the future. The ones who listen and aren't gung-ho about fighting are less likely to start trouble if they develop doubts, they'd just quietly back off.

Damn, beat me to it.

Its the media. For the first time in a long time, we have a war that is media and publicly considered to be 'good'. Which means anyone fighting it is supported and hailed as heroes by wine moms - seemingly worthless, but it also means they're not going to be cracked down on by the US as long as they're on the 'right side' of the fight. A lot of wannabe warlords are getting the opportunity to acquire a lot of arms, experience, and expand their influence in their local domains, and all its costing them is handfuls of over eager greenhorns sent to chew on the forbidden tuna cans. Nobody is paying much attention to African warlords right now, just look at how the continent is ramping up its usual coups and sectarian violence - and the only reason normal folks even vaguely care is because the media is convinced that Wagner is behind it all. If it was the normal power struggles, nobody would bat an eye.

I remember seeing signs around some forests saying "DO NOT ENTER. CLUSTER BOMB AND MINE" or something similar. Seen actual mine clearing units before with metal detectors(?) and dogs. These guys got no flak vest or any kind of explosive protection, only basic body armor while some just show up with Liverpool polo shirt. I don't think we ever get any help from USA or any western nations on mine clearing at all. Even if we got some, it is probably insignificant.

When the war is over, prepare for sensationalized articles about poor hohol goblin got blown up by evil Ruskii cluster bombs (even though Russia does not use them).

Our Columbia merc after a visit from the SBU when he complained 25 of his comrades were killed and he hadn't received his pay:

Has there been any information about ex-Ukraine mercs mercing for Russia? Actually, outside of Wagner, do we know any mercenary units in Russian ranks?
