On the real I’d fight for Murica

Behind my keyboard tho

MURICA

the jokes write themselves

Crazy how much they trying to get US involved in this war. When the media is pushing for war even more than the US government we have a problem.

Media don’t put this much effort and attention to hold officials accountable for a single damn thing now all of a sudden they laser focused on this.

No problem 🤝 You're big enough to apologise and i respect that.

"Tell me, what is to force Russia to back down? The Americans, NATO, have enforced all the economic sanctions - that did not deter him. Now that he is in the operations, initially he thought like in 2014 the Ukranians would refuse to fight, that did not happen. So he wasted 3-4 days initially.

Now hes changed tactics, going all-out as is his normal tactical doctrine. Surrounds cities, ask civilians to get out, then pounds away with artillery from the air and then rushes in with tanks. This is the standard pattern that we've seen before, if he had from the outset followed this pattern he could have done it in 10-14+ days.

Now the war will get extended, but he is in no hurry. He knows NATO will not put boots on the ground, nobody is imposing a no-fly zone so he has all the time in the world to do this methodically, systematically, properly building up his forces.

And to say that for days and days and days his supplies are not coming, I mean that is childish. We have to be objective in our reporting and I understand that there is an army of 270 000 CIA backed hackers and people who are putting up things on the internet, which gets magnified by the echo chamber of CNN, BBC etc. and then becomes the gospel truth that Ukraine has won the war, Moscow is about to fall and Putin will be deposed etc etc

These are insufficiently contextual, these are exaggerations that you expect to hear on the battlefield, but a military a***yst is required to see through them. So what are the Russians changed tactics now?

They are a combination of siege warfare in the kinetic realm and psychologial warfare through negotiations. They are trying to see if they can force Zelensky to come to the negotiating table and conceed - the Russians will save casualties, the Ukrainian people will save casualties, the Ukrainian cities will not be destroyed.

But if he does not, they are fully prepared to follow through and ratch it up and increase the pressure until he cries uncle. Now I think its a funciton of how long does Zelensky want to continue an unequal fight?

He is getting javelin, anti-tank guided missiles, he is getting the STINGER shoulder-fired missiles but these can only PROLONG the conflict, they cant win the war for you. If you expect you can stop 12 000 tanks with 5000-6000 javelins well that wont happen because the Russians will use suppressive fire, if they really want to do it with less casualties, they will have to use heavy suppressive fire. That I am afraid will lead to heavy collateral damage in the cities. Now the Ukranians have made a big song and dance about giving 18 000 civilians kalashnikovs. That just puts them harms way! And we are being told by CNN that it is a battle-winning factor as the Western media is cheerleading the want to fight the Russians til the last Ukrainian.

What can the civilians do? How well trained are they? How are they a war winning factor? You are just using them as cannon-fodder. You give a beauty queen a kalashinikov? Thats very good for the photo op but I'm afraid she does not know how to fire it. So for god sake give us a break I mean lets not cheerlead the Ukranians into a disaster.

Any wise general breaks off an engagement whose end he can see, he shifts the method of fighting. In Iraq the Russian advisors asked Saddam Hussein to stop the regular war and go guerilla to stretch it out for years and to make sure they push the Americans out finally because of the losses they inflicted but if they had stood up and fought a regular war they would all have gotten killed! They would have had, as they actually were anyway, their cities reduced to rubble - because the Americans bombed for 40 days before they entered. Before they entered Yugoslavia they bombed for 80 days.

The Russians bombed from the air for just one day because they were trying to spare civilian lives they were trying to avoid collateral damage but now when push comes to shove they will use as much firepower as Zelensky wants them to use before he cries uncle. Nobody is coming to his aid is that not clear to him?

The three centers where the trainers were coming to train them in how to use javelins and stingers they have been attacked by the Russians today. The Russians have given a clear warning to the Americans that any armed supply convoys entering Ukraine will be fair legitimate targets. So they'll hit them. Just because they fly an American flag inside Ukraine will not mean that they will not be struck. Because then you have to take those risks of war and are they prepared to get into a direct clash with Russia? There is the threat of WW3, the threat of crossing the nuclear rubicon? That would be a disaster for the whole world!

This desire to extend the conflict for a few months until the end of this year to try and make Russia look bad I mean this is terrible the whole global economy will collapse the global economy was just recovering from COVID. What does this do to economic recovery all over the world?"

Can anyone guess who said this

TW: pictures of dead children

apnews.com/article/russia-ukraine-war-mariupol-descends-into-despair-708cb8f4a171ce3f1c1b0b8d090e38e3

damn that s*** is f***ed up smh. idk why Russia is doing that. they aren't killing nazis or anything, people living there are ethnic russians

I saw a video reporting on a deepfake of Zelenski surrendering so I said something along the lines of "Ukraine posts a deepfake of France getting attacked by airstrikes; Russia posts deepfake of Zelenski surrendering, what a time to be alive."

And now mfs are swearing the former didn't happen and when I post links they get deleted almost immediately...either YouTube or the host of the channel I'm on are f***ing trash

nsfl description >There’s 18-month-old Kirill, whose shrapnel wound to the head proved too much for his little toddler’s body.

AP should f***ing fire whoever let this copy get published

All we could do is push for change and progress. Resentment and defeatism gets you nowhere.

Did you just compare eating badges to immolations and beheadings. Reminder these are Ukrainians killing other Ukrainians. They're just ethnic Russians.

Do better TB

Yeh that would be the more likely scenario

yeah its on sight with whoever decided to make an article about dead children their war and peace

Really wanna know if it's actually the uploader or YouTube itself

I mean that's a legally recognised act of torture and even so, the donbass side have been doing similar.

S***s f***ed

We were talking about the trajectory of Ukrainian sentiment towards Russia. That was the context. Read better or be quiet

Who said this?

Are you then saying that Putin is currently taking a W? Just trying to clarify.

Nah still a dumb move but ppl acting like he was tryna annex Ukraine and only now was willing to settle for neutrality like bruh those were the demands back in december already

I agree but also like:

Getting Ukraine to be neutral on peaceful terms = W

Getting Ukraine to be neutral while committing war crimes, tanking your economy, becoming a global pariah, and causing your own people to suffer = Pretty big L IMO

Yeah well we'll see how long these sanctions last if they pull out

But in general I can't see how this doesn't end up having higher costs than benefits tbh, sanctions already cost em a lot

This mf just dry-snitched the escape routes for everyone else who's trying to leave

Gagan Deep Bakshi, retired indian army major general apparently

never heard of him before
