"Five shots of vodka never hurt a man!"

white locust
#

But that doesn't mean they are going to stop with Ukraine. It seems to me that Ukraine was always meant to be an intermediate step for them in their plans. An excuse for invading the rest of the world, essentially

leaden grove
#

Yeah

#

I think the rest of the world is taking it a bit too far, but their ambitions do extend to eastern and northeastern Europe

#

Russian propaganda has not only spent the past eight years focusing on the Donbas, but also on Estonia etc.

white locust
#

We just really need to hope that nukes and chemical weapons don't start being used

leaden grove
#

And I think it’s very dangerous to think that Ukraine is just a one-time event

#

I doubt nukes will be used

#

Putin is a murderer but not suicidal

fierce arch
#

chemical weapons would elicit an actual military responde

#

and nukes are well nukes

leaden grove
#

I think it all depends on how the negotiations in the coming days go

#

If they go well, there might be a ceasefire

#

If they don’t, they‘ll likely launch a renewed assault

white locust
#

The thing is, are they really serious negotiations, or has Putin already decided the outcome (ie: "no we won't stop")

leaden grove
#

That’s the thing

#

Both Putin and Zelenskyy have signalled that the latest rounds of talks have been somewhat positive

icy ridge
#

I- what kind of logic 😭

scarlet crown
#

there is none

leaden grove
#

But even if there is a ceasefire, Ukraine would likely demand some sort of external guarantees

leaden grove
#

They still claim that so far they‘ve only been fighting "nationalists"

white locust
#

Strange that the "neonazi" running the country is proudly Jewish

leaden grove
#

It’s just stupid

#

There’s no denying that Azov and other organisations are a thing, but Russian propaganda vastly exaggerates their role in Ukrainian politics and society

Hm?

guess who happens

#

to be a security council member

leaden grove
#

I‘m well aware that Russia has the right to veto any decision

#

That‘s why I‘m all in favour of trying to strip that status off Russia

#

And perhaps getting rid of vetos altogether

#

It might very much legally possible to do that, but no one seems to be willing to try

split aurora
#

...how?

#

Also if you removed russia and china from the security council veto power

#

a significant portion of the world would leave the UN

#

and the UN would be reduced to the diplomatic arm of NATO

fierce arch
leaden grove
#

Why would they leave the UN?

fierce arch
#

iirc

#

its enshrined in the un charter

#

North Korea is a UN member

#

The Security Council shall consist of fifteen Members of the United Nations. The Republic of China, France, the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, and the United States of America shall be permanent members of the Security Council. The General Assembly shall elect ten other Members of the United Nations to be non-permanent members of the Security Council, due regard being specially paid, in the first instance to the contribution of Members of the United Nations to the maintenance of international peace and security and to the other purposes of the Organization, and also to equitable geographical distribution.

how would allies of china (the vast majority of the African continent) react

china doesn't have that much power over africa

their allies are very much dotted across the globe

belt and road means they have a lot of people friendly to them

and they wouldn't want to risk snubbing china

#

friendly =/= allies

split aurora
#

fair

#

eitherway, friends of China,who want to keep the massive Chinese investment

leaden grove
#

China isn‘t too fond of the war either

#

And I found it, it‘s the United Nations General Assembly Resolution 377 which could technically be invoked again

split aurora
#

okay but china would be completely against removing russias veto

#

because china knows basic geopolitics

leaden grove
#

It’s worth a try

fierce arch
#

would very much not be easy

split aurora
#

tbf I wouldn't support trying to remove russia / russia+china veto

#

both because its so likely to backfire

#

and I don't like the idea of nato unchallenged in the security council, if only the 3 nato powers had veto's left

#

removing everyones veto id rather have

fierce arch
#

then

#

the un security council is basically useless

I can't think of a way to have a useful UN

without turning it into an extension of a single power block

Getting a bit concerned

paper cedar
#

If at this point he won't join NATO and war ends then what's the point of this war then

#

If he will just call it off and never join NATO so that Russia stops invading then pretty much Russia wins

#

And the war at this point would be pretty much pointless

#

Because this could have been all evaded if he said that he won't join NATO earlier

limber wagon
#

Quick question, who invaded who and thereby started this war?

paper cedar
#

Well Russia did

#

Because Ukraine wanted to join NATO

limber wagon
#

So how would that be pointless? if thats whats gonna happen (and keep in mind that this is a rumour and we shouldn't speculate too hard about it quite yet), then Russia would have achieved one of its points

paper cedar
#

I mean for Russia it isn't pointless, I'm more talking about Ukraine
Their point is that they want to join NATO and if they give that up then for Ukraine the war pretty much could have been avoided if done earlier
That's why in my opinion this is a bad thing if they already got as far as killing each other maybe it's just better to succeed on still having a chance to join NATO

limber wagon
#

But Ukraine didnt start this war

#

Thats like some domestic abuser type logic "I wouldn't have to hit her if she had listened to me"

#

And again rumour

#

The one talking about ''demilitarisation' is basically just Russia

limber wagon
#

And look how that backfired on Russia

paper cedar

But you were talking about the joining NATO thing. not in the abstract sense

limber wagon
#

split aurora
#

Ukraine promising not to join NATO doesn't mean this wars won for russia

#

Russia was, at least, intending to seize a significant portion of ukraine

#

more likely a full annexation

limber wagon
#

I think that's more their full goal. A plan like this will most likely have various goals, so that things can be adjusted and the politicians at home can still claim "see, we did what we wanted to do" even if they didn't. In this case that might be fully Annexing Ukraine, splitting it off in to various puppet states, getting Ukraine to not join NATO, creating or annexing the LPR and RPR.

#

not joining NATo is definitely a goal of Russia, even if thats not all they set out to do

#

Though again, with all the massive sanctions and how much of an utter failure this invasion has been, I don't think it could still be called a win in most senses.

viral junco
#

The ukranians need to have a security against russia

#

However should they win the war hopefully it'll mean they needn't one

#

But I fear that this will lead to some other war when Russia bulks the military up, like chechnya

EU has a mutual defence clause

Putin's whole strategy is to bleed ukraine dry, by throwing men and expensive equipment at them

Yet they're unfamiliar with the terrain, and the Russians have already seen what an army can do when their home, everything they love is at stake

Oh I mean now it's just bleed ukraine

limber wagon
#

Russia has a lot of material and troops, but their logistics are so shit they're barely able to make progress

viral junco
#

Mhm

#

They're fighting an enemy who's mother tongue is so similar to theirs that they can almost perfectly understand their comms

#

Comms which rely on 3 and 4g, which don't work in areas they destroy the towers for

#

Comms which also are open ended, Ukrainians know what wave lengths to look for

limber wagon
#

Truly a throwback to early cold war era technology

viral junco
#

They have an incredibly demoralised force, ones who either desert, surrender, or become walking target practise

viral junco
#

Take Syria for instance

#

The pro democracy side who they were fighting against hadn't much money at all, but the Russians and al-assad's men had two governments worth of funding, so their thought process was likely "why bother on comms stuff now?"

limber wagon

#

Of course

So its just a case of not upgrading technology.

But I think this could also be a case of corruption.

It’s the 21st day of the defense of Mariupol from Russian troops. There have been thousands of deaths because of Putin's aggression, but Ukrainians are holding on! Svyatoslav Palamar, Deputy Commander of the AZOV Regiment, talks about the current situation in Mariupol.

Those men need support. We must save Ukrainians from genocide! #save_Mariupo...

I bet we are more than willing to buy all of it, tearing it up, learning how to easily defeat it

#

Then again, I think we may have already done that

#

I know we did it back in the 90s when we stole an entire Russian helicopter from chad

I've heard about the Chad Libyan war before and I've always been really curious

essentially, a russian built attack/troop helicopter goes down and we send our Special operations people to go steal it, they do it in the dead of night and without anyone noticing

⚡️The missile that hit Russian-controlled Donetsk on March 14, killing 20 people, was shot from the Russian-held territory in Ukraine, according to an investigation by Ruslan Leviev, the founder of investigative outlet Conflict Intelligence Team.

Russia had previously claimed the missile was Ukrainian, while Leviev says it is a false-flag operation by Russia to accuse Ukraine of war crimes.

I have translated and added subtitles to the latest video speech by Vladimir Putin from two hours ago. Please don’t let it go in vain - I want everyone to see what a speech of true fascism looks like.

No further comment needed, it’s all here, in his speech https://t.co/QEzsG9BODX

I just checked myself and there are indeed several planes going east from Moscow, very strange

My guess is that they’re either trying to pick up reinforcements from other parts of the country or moving government officials for some reason

Because the IL-96-300PU you see in the picture there is part of the presidential fleet so it‘s definitely some government official

Ukraine 2: Electric Butthole Glue

Updates: Since making this video Russia has allowed workers at the Nuclear power plant to safely evacuate.

My previous video exploded, no idea why, but it did, and with it came the zombie hordes of drooling vegetables desperate to sniff the cope glue and claim I was wrong on everything.
Well, we're now 2 weeks in and I think it's time we revis...

in ww2 the allies extensively bombed the Abbey at monte cassino, Italy. the ruins created extremely good defensive terrain for german paratroopers, and it cost the allies 55,000 lives in the battle to take it

stalingrad is a similar story, different outcome

and these ruins of ukranian cities may well be the same

Aftermath of 40 Mile Convoy Thread/1

It is day 19 of Ukraine War. On Day 1, a mysterious convoy of 40 miles (64km) became stuck on the shortest road from Belarus to Kyiv. & while an obvious target for ambush, Ukraine did not destroy this convoy

Was a BRILLIANT tactical move https://t.co/mcXSgLXJIT

wow

so what basically happened is that the convoy pretty much just stopped itself and because Ukraine didn't ruin it there were no resupplies?

that was one insane bit of smart thinking by ukraine

Ran out of supplies and was unable to move
