until it's confirmed by UK or US intelligence I won't draw conclusions

[grizzled steeple]

Thats a good idea

[molten tartan]

that's good

[scarlet crown]

My initial goal was to spread the news to the outer world, for everyone to see the horrors of Russian "peaceful spec-operation"

And I'm more than glad to see that the world did not abandon us

With so much processes going on, with so much already being done

I can't see how this can end in a loss

Which truly gives hope

[silk iron]

the last thing the world needs is a Hitler 2.0

[zealous rapids]

[hushed magnet]

also petitions have the chance to actually push for change

even if its unlikely

[molten tartan]

as much as parliament are divs, even if there's a chance it goes through

Considering how distant the UK is I'm not sure how much of an impact it will have but even if it helps a single person it'll be worth it

[split aurora]

I mean, if nothing else

[hushed magnet]

especially since there’s probably pressure on our gov from many other countries offering more help to refugees

[split aurora]

it forces them to do a 1+ hour debate on it

and the bastards which are against it can be called out

[molten tartan]

I watch debates, I know what goes on

wait what does the 2nd picture say, as some say the first was a mistranslation

[hushed magnet]

oh boy...

this is the last thing anyone needs

It seems to be aimed towards russian artillerist responsible for shellings in Kharkiv and Kyiv

[split aurora]

Like, this changes fucking NOTHING

[viral junco]

oh another thing to take into account, guy was a fox news person, and fox is incredibly pro putin at the moment

[split aurora]

Shooting soldiers who surrender is wrong and evil and incredibly fucked up

no matter who shoots who

you take them as POW and treat them humanely, and they can answer for their crimes before a court of law

not a firing squad

[hushed magnet]

true but if the information is valid it doesn’t really matter

[split aurora]

OK now my blood is boiling im going back to my f1 2019 race

[hushed magnet]

because if ukraine did anything wrong you bet fox news is gonna jump on that instantly

but yeah if thats accurate it aint gonna be great for anyone

[viral junco]

hence me asking val to translate,

just to be safe

[hushed magnet]

yeah

[scarlet crown]

The translation is on point

[viral junco]

fuck

[copper monolith]

yeah..

[scarlet crown]

Let's hope this is just a form of threatening and not something that'll actually come to action

[opal cloak]

I bet the Russians set this up to make ukraine look bad

[silk iron]

... i don't think so

[hushed magnet]

hopefully...

[copper monolith]

answering to war crimes with war crimes will fuck up the massive support Ukraine has from abroad

[viral junco]

these artillerymen are war criminals through and through however hopefully things are not carried out, firing on them could lead to war crimes charges thrown out

[scarlet crown]

I'm trying to find the original post on their page rn

[hushed magnet]

yeah as much as i sympathise with why, this aint gonna be good for ukraine's reputation at all if it happens

[scarlet crown]

Oh brother..

[split aurora]

I mean, I can understand why they want to do this - but it doesnt make it any less evil

[opal cloak]

why facebook of all places

[viral junco]

5 hours

[split aurora]

Anyone who shoots a surrendering artilleryman is as bad as the artilleryman bombing civilians

[silk iron]

so it's targeted specifically towards Russian artillery men - who are indiscriminately bombarding non-military targets (i.e. committing war crimes). Obviously threatening war crimes to those committing war crimes helps no one and if it is genuinely from the Ukrainian side it's very poor optics.

[ruby forge]

There is no civility in war
Wasn't it in WW1 where all sides initially agreed not to use chemical weapons
and then they all used chemical weapons

[silk iron]

Practically speaking - it's unlikely the Ukrainians soldiers will capture any Russian artillery men

[copper monolith]

man

[hushed magnet]

i dont necessarily think its fair to say its just as bad, but its still a warcrime and not fucking good at all

[opal cloak]

the Usa have a lot of chemical weapons so does Russia

[split aurora]

It does make me worried to see all the deitifying of the ukranian president, state and military

as thats how this shit happens

[hushed magnet]

yeah i agree tbh

[split aurora]

and how people defend it

[viral junco]

the best chance ukranian soldiers have at taking out artillery is by sniping them, so even if one did do that, it would not be possible to get surrender

[split aurora]

and the wave of ultranationalism is definitely going to have lasting negative consequences on the region, even if its a natural by-product of a war

[hushed magnet]

for sure..

[scarlet crown]

I still really hope that this is just a threat with no follow up

[viral junco]

@copper monolith what does this mean?

[silk iron]

I wouldn't describe the current spirit in Ukraine as ultranationalism (that's a phrase Putin is using to attack the Ukraine government) - ultranationalism is when a nation seeks to assert dominance over other nations.

[viral junco]

I'm aware these are russian documents

[scarlet crown]

Because god damn that ain't gonna fucking help us

[scarlet crown]

Those are dates

[viral junco]

also please god putin is brought to the table by the sanctions @scarlet crown

like today them recognising zelenskiy as the rightful leader of ukraine is a significant tonal shift from them calling ukranian leaders nazis

[scarlet crown]

20.02 is February 20 and 06.03 is march 3rd
No idea what the document means on itself

It does mention frequencies

[copper monolith]

frequencies I guess

its unlikely that it actually means that they planned to occupy the country by the 6th

[hushed magnet]

i mean, the current spirit in ukraine isnt that, but there is definitely a prominence of nationalist groups, like azov etc.

and like, obviously, that doesnt represent the entire nation at all

[clear pebble]

If Ukraine survives, the nationalist groups will likely grow stronger though

[silk iron]

they're but a tiny fraction of the nation

it would depend if Ukraine is quickly integrated into the EU

[clear pebble]

true

[hushed magnet]

but its definitely a concern for the future

fair

[nocturne osprey]

it's a fair price for the freedom of Ukraine

[silk iron]

i would say it's the least of Ukraine's concerns atm

[hushed magnet]

agreed

[silk iron]

be pragmatic don't search for enemies within when there's enemies at the gate

[viral junco]

They did plan on having it occupied by the other day

That is certain

Possibly the 6th is when they wanted the dictator from pre 2014 in

[hushed magnet]

its just worrying to see that ukraine could slip into committing warcrimes against warcrimes

[clear pebble]

Where did that table come from anyway

[silk iron]

well it's a trend when one side starts committing war crimes, the other quickly starts doing so as well

morality degrades

Entirely true, most of our people are devastated by what occupants have done in Kharkiv and Kyiv

The wish for revenge is natural, but has to be contained

[silk iron]

I've yet so see any indication of Ukrainian war crimes however - but undoubtedly cases will appear.

[scarlet crown]

I'm just genuinely surprised by that post, that kind of speech should not have been allowed, I truly hope that it's more emotion and less action

[hushed magnet]

and yeah, one side is still the aggressor and ultimately entirely to blame for any consequences of the war

[silk iron]

realistically i don't see Ukraine soldiers capturing artillery men

so certainly emotion

but not a good one

[clear pebble]

Strong rhetoric has been the norm lately

[silk iron]

suggests Ukrainian soldiers are being dragged into the "they're treating our people without humanity, so we must therefore treat them with inhumanity".

[copper monolith]

and only gets his news from generals, usually on the other side of a bullet proof glass, and they can't tell him what's really going on

[copper monolith]

and no heart either

[copper monolith]

[stone vigil]

Honestly I don't blame him for sticking it out in his bunker, the entire world wants his for a more than good reason

[viral junco]

Yet zelensiky acknowledges the hardships and morale is high for his troops

[finite sable]

But how long does he plan to hide?

[viral junco]

The only thing high for the Russian side is casualties

[finite sable]

Does he just think "I'll just magically win this eventually and everyone will be chill"

[hushed magnet]

i mean what he wants is to prove that russia is powerful

[copper monolith]

yes

[hushed magnet]

which isnt going well lol

[split aurora]

thing is

Putin has no strategic position now but to double down

he's too far in to back out

he has to double down and pray for a miracle at this point

He has to say everything's alright and that the army will win

as that's his only possible move

and pray for a miracle and they do win

[stone vigil]

He can't back out, but the people under him can, his generals can fuck him over and leave, the units can fuck him over and leave

[split aurora]

yep

[hushed magnet]

if he doesnt then he's only fucked over everything in a week

thats probably why russia still wont settle negotiations without making demands from ukraine

[finite sable]

[buoyant sundial]

Putin has only got one ball

[hushed magnet]

true, but i mean hes effectively killed his reputation

[buoyant sundial]

Maybe he didn’t think he would.

[split aurora]

if he wins

his reputation is saved and massive

thats putins position

he has to double down again and again

and pray for a wjn

his only possible route out of this

[hushed magnet]

yeah pretty much

[split aurora]

without a loss of reputation and probably position as head of state

[hushed magnet]

he dug himself a hole and the only way he can go now is down

[viral junco]

That is a big no

9k Russian dead

Afghanistan was 15k soviet casualties

[hushed magnet]

thats how he likely sees it tho

[finite sable]

"Too far in to climb out, might as well keep digging and see what you find"

[viral junco]

This is day 8 and it's almost 2/3

[split aurora]

9k dead is nothing compared to propaganda

he drowns out the 9k families with affests and propagansa

the entire country erupts in celebrations at victory

hes seen as a war hero

[viral junco]

Then there's an insurgency too

[split aurora]

@viral junco look at ww1

[viral junco]

Who can easily cross into Russia because of proximity

[split aurora]

millions senselessly dead

[clear creek]

And then a ukranian sneaks into russia and blows up in the red squire

[split aurora]

yet the western governments didn't collapse from lack of reputations as a result

they were cheered as heroes and victors

[viral junco]

They almost did

Scotland in the 1920s

Labour disputes internationally

[split aurora]

that was nothing to do with the war

[viral junco]

The rise of fascism and the red scare

[split aurora]

that was due to people demanding the better working conditions they experienced in the war

putin winning would see him remembered as a hero

and someone who reunited the Russian people

and all that nationalistic nonsense

the way Joseph stalin is remembered in russia

thats what putin wants

What I hear from friends in Ukraine is that the Russian soldiers received only two days of food rations, as they were supposed to take Kharkiv and Kyiv within two days. Some soldiers beg for food; some rob supermarkets; the worst rob private homes and mishandle the inhabitants.

slaughtering a civilian population is a nice way to harden peoples resolve against you, Russia doesn't want that, turning cities into rubble makes for nice guerilla warfare setting, and Russia also doesn't want that, they want to be able to use their superior armor to steamroll through with minimal encounters
