Ukraine

For the twat life keyboard warriors

Call it whatever you want.

What do you think Russia will do if we shoot down their planes and bomb their radars and missile launchers including on their soil?

What will NATO do if Russia responds and bombs NATO airbases and missile sites, shoots down NATO planes, sinks NATO ships?

The US has warned Nato forces are ready to enter conflict and defend member countries against Russian attacks as the Ukraine crisis continues to escalate.

Secretary of state Antony Blinken said "we are ready" for conflict if it "comes to us".

Nato is the military alliance currently made up of 28 European countries, plus the US and Canada. Ukraine is not a member, but is seeking to join as Russia's attack on the country continues.

Blinken's warning to Vladimir Putin comes as Russia continued its bombardment of Ukraine with the shelling of a nuclear power station in Zaporizhzhia in the south-east of the country.

BTW I have never suggested hitting Russian assets in their own borders, just Ukraine's.

I think it's not too much to imagine his best units fueled by stimulants and vodka.

I survived 2 wars (once and twice each respectively) and 2 conflicts jacked up on stimulants. In the early days it was handfuls of Ripped Fuel then later on they just gave us cans of Rip It. How else are you supposed to conduct 3 day convoys and multi-day assaults?

Are you heading over?

These ex SF guys are going over because it gives them a good excuse to go fuck shit up and kill people. It’s not for some altruistic reason. Not getting paid highlights this. Mercenaries kill for money, these volunteers do it because they enjoy it.

Not 100% correct. I have a buddy going over to join the same SOF units he has been training the past 4 years before he retired. He is about as far from a war monger as you can get, but he is fiercely loyal to these guys, which many are.

Pretty much everyone I know from 10th Group, whose AOR is Eastern Europe, really want to go to support the Ukrainians they have been working with with since we began the train and assist mission in Ukraine 5 or 6 years ago. They are all "warn out" like many of us, but they have a fierce belief in freeing the oppressed ( Their motto is De Opresso Liber) and fighting to protect innocents. They are very different than your old Black Water mercenaries.

I’m sure there are exceptions and good reasons but you know what a rush it is, thrilling and terrifying at the same time. I don’t think I ever felt more alive than when people were actively trying to kill us

Blitzkrieg!

[Casey E]

The Chupilca del diablo (The Devil's Chupilca) is a mix of black gunpowder with aguardiente. It was prepared by Chileans during the War of the Pacific. When consumed by a soldier, he would go berserk in battle and attack his enemies without fear or remorse.

[frorider]

Take it with a grain of salt, since it’s unlikely to pass, but you gotta give ‘‘em credit for some GOP-level legislative fuckery.

I also read a reasonably credible report that Russian government officials considering resigning in protest would be imprisoned if they did.

Imagine a country where ballet reruns and Fox News are the only things on television, radio, and internet.

That was truly disheartening. In the USSR, The Beatles were banned. Paul McCartney played a historic show in Red Square in 2003. Putin was the only unhappy asshole in a crowd of millions. I knew Putin had been cracking down on freedom of information for more thank a decade now, but I guess I just didn’t think it would work in a world of internet and social media.

The Trump nightmare made me see some of the effectiveness of stupidly, mid-information, boot-licking, and ignorance, but we kind of toned that down. Or at least my feeds are a bit less garbage filled, maybe that’s on me. Maybe propaganda works. Maybe in the end only Orwell correctly foretold the future?Maybe Star Trek has it all wrong and The Q was right all along? Maybe there can be another march of millions of fascists in an army trying to colonize territory like it’s the early Industrial Era while claiming that it is they who are riding the world of fascists? Maybe we as humans will never be better than ants?

I still have hope in the Enlightenment but it isn’t any brighter after the actions of the Kremlin today.

[east or bust]

Can we set up a bet for how long it will take for Putin to get whacked?

I’m saying 45 days after sanctions imposed.

Much as I've been upset about some things, I have to give credit where credit's due. Biden is at least trying REALLY hard to give Putin a way out of this if nothing else. If Putin doesn't take the off-ramp that Biden and the world is offering him, that's on him and he totally deserves whatever comes next. Hoping he accepts and backs off.

But as for the West, they need to also show they mean business when that time comes. Otherwise it's all Hans Blix V2.0

Holds up so well in light of the current situation. Hahaha

And you're basing that off....?

Assumptions that feel emotionally gratifying, got it.

Yea thats insane. They can draft them and arm them, but it seems like a really stupid move honestly. Whats to stop them from just surrendering and seeking asylum? That won't help putin.

Today I learned about the Belurisian government and leadership. I knew they were hard line but man human rights abuses, illegal to take a picture of their dictator that shows his receeding hairline, not to mention protest etc. I was unnaware.

[chaka]

Putin's thinking: When gaslighting the world is not enough, try cherenkovlighting instead

I got the joke

This is what I am wondering, how much longer will the rest of the world stand by?

From what I've read Mikhail Mishustin would ascend to the presidency...and it doesn't sound like he'd be much different, at least in the short term.

Yeah. It's true. I've actually have friends who lived there doing volunteer work, primarily with the orphanages, and the stories were insane. Not unique to Belarus, but they're total dicks about adopting out to foreigners out of a sense of pride or something, but cant even take care of their own. They'll also arrest you for pretty much anything. Especially if you attempt to talk about religious matters. If you're caught with a Bible or doing an in home church gathering, they'll lock you up for that too. Was told that yeah, you do NOT talk politics there or say anything about their leadership or it's the same result. Some amazing people there doing great things (quietly), but they're so poor with an openly corrupt and brutal government. It's like they got stuck in 1970s USSR and somehow didn't get the memo.

Yeah. Belarus govt is asshoe for sure.

Totally against Russia invading Ukraine

But it's ironic how the us invaded Iraq without a valid reason, and the world was not unified against it.

And how many Iraqis died?

Wow, blatant copying off of Putin's answers on the test. tsk tsk

[MultiVerse]

- Russia Today (RT) is criticizing Europeans for treating Ukrainian refugees viciously bombed by Russia better than Syrian refugees who were also viciously bombed by Russia.

According to U.S. defense officials:

- Russia’s 40-mile military convoy of tanks, armored vehicles, and artillery is stalled by Ukrainians blowing up a bridge and “direct attacks” against the vehicles

- Russia has made “no appreciable forward movement” toward Kyiv

- Russia has had more military success in southern Ukraine due in part to shorter supply lines from Crimea

- Ukraine still has a "significant majority" of aircraft available against Russia, including fixed-wing, drones, and helicopters. Ukraine still maintains overall air superiority after nine days of war with Russia

- Estimates Russia has sent more than 92% of pre-staged combat troops into Ukraine

You are missing the fact that the US did have good reason to invade Iraq. Its just that the good reasons turned out to be false.
