[waxen monolith]

They may have lots of tanks but loosing many more than would otherwise be expected due to the force disparity really takes the wind out of Russias sails as intimidating

[red slate]

This, losing a good crew matters much more than losing a tank.

[warm shale]

you guys have to remember most of Russia equipment is from the Cold War era

they haven't been modernized

[uneven monolith]

for fairness sake so is ukrainian equipment

[red slate]

Still, Russia apparently has total air superiority now.

[junior escarp]

Actually there was a modernization wave after Georgian war. One of it's goals was to check the level of the Russian army.

[warm shale]

yeah, the saving grace of russia is just sheer amount of equipment

[waxen monolith]

If the loose a ton of equipment in Ukraine how could they pretend they could ever stand against nato fully equiped and trained

[warm shale]

they have I think, the 2nd or the largest air fleet?

IIRC

[red slate]

There's no question Eastern Ukraine will probably be taken, but if Ukraine makes Russia truly bleed, Putin might not try and go for Western Ukraine.

[drowsy quail]

I think thats the US

[warm shale]

ah, that's not good to hear, but I have my doubts they managed to modernize everything

from what I had researched before they were having trouble getting approval for it

[red slate]

Remember the T-14

[ruby hamlet]

The only t-14 in red square

[waxen monolith]

The way I remember it world's largest airforce the US 2nd largest the US navy

[junior escarp]

Oh not even close. But they did some around 2010.

[boreal dock]

I suspect there will be partisan war in Eastern Ukraine. The real war will only start tomorow or day after tomorrow, when all troops will need resupply.

I suspect Ukrainian partisans will aim attacks on them.

@pure hull do you have any information on situation in Kyiv airport?

im suprised that you can sleep at all

[unborn frost]

Russian paratroops are currently in control of it

[boreal dock]

fuck

[unborn frost]

cnn news crew ran into them.. talked to their commander.

[pure hull]

Wdym? There r 2 main airports. They boomed the small ones. Shulyani got fucked up, but Boryspil not

[alpine vessel]

At least they don't attack reporters

[boreal dock]

have link to that?

[unborn frost]

saw it on live tv..

I'm at work so I can't watch sadly, dutch NOS is broadcasting non stop talking to reporters in Oekraïne and giving info

ah there it is

[warm shale]

the war industry? yup

[vivid notch]

pls no kiev speedrun

[alpine vessel]

Kiev any%

[vivid notch]

man they're so fast

[drowsy quail]

Lets hope they can retake it before any pesky russians land

[warm shale]

The Russians did a strategic invasion, from what I know, its hell for troops to mobilize at this time of the year

so Russia gets to do a blietzkrieg/quicker invasion before you can have troops ready to defend

[drowsy quail]

Well the Ukranians were expecting this so it would make sense if they were atleast somewhat ready

[boreal dock]

news say that russia have lost 7 planes, 4 chopers, more than 10 armored viecles, and about 100 soldiers

[warm shale]

mhm, that's why there's still resistence

but I have read how the ukranian PM yesterday was trying to get conscripts

so the higher ups probably had some knowledge of what could happen

[vivid notch]

they're already enlisting in kiev

[alpine vessel]

Ukraine wants YOU

[spice wedge]

@warm shale you been living under a stone?

[vivid notch]

chill@spice wedge

not everyone is active on the internet

[warm shale]

MHM

[boreal dock]

They are also giving weapons to anyone who is wiling to fight. Apperantly you only need passport from Ukraine or friendly country.

[warm shale]

yup,

on times like this, you gotta get every able body you can

[boreal dock]

Yup its a hell to hold occupied territory when local population is armed and hate you.

[warm shale]

mhmmm

[alpine vessel]

Yeah civilians with guns throw in the mix is a pain in the butt

[warm shale]

I just hope Ukraine can resist with little bloodshed

[alpine vessel]

Look at Afghanistan

[vivid notch]

afghanistan's politic is more complicated than ukraine

tribes, ideology, factions

[warm shale]

its a whole different can of worms over there

[alpine vessel]

But I was more referring too civilians with guns and random dudes trying to kill Amerika

That will prob happen to Russia

[drowsy quail]

I think I remember reading about satelites spotting rusian troops who specialise in anti-ressistance near the border

[vivid notch]

its conscripts, not some random civilian buying weapons for personal reasons

[boreal dock]

But it still contain the same worms. Armed population that wants you dead is hell to deal with. In Ukraine they dont need to fight between tribes, its against common enemy.

[vivid notch]

government should help in training conscripts, assigning them to squads, giving them clear objectice

[alpine vessel]

You put it in better words thanks

[warm shale]

yup, if anything, it will be worse as all ukranians have a common enemy

[vivid notch]

not random gunning

[warm shale]

and aren't busy infighting

[crimson breach]

I can’t see this as going well for either side

This is just gonna be very bloody…

[boreal dock]

Its not walk in the park, as invider you could be shot at, at any point from anywhere. Be it house, apartment or forest. You need to be carefull of mines on roads, booby traps and other fun suprises.

[crimson breach]

And you need supplies

[warm shale]

guerrila tactics is very effective

[boreal dock]

As resistance your aim is not to fight convecional war but to lets say fire few rockets at convoy and move. To place roadside bombs and blow them up when enemy passes it. To kill enemy informats and soldiers when oportunity arises.

[crimson breach]

I feel like if this isn’t over in a day or two in terms of destroying Ukraine’s forces, this is going to be hell on earth for the Russian army

[indigo oracle]

Any updates from the front yet or nah

[boreal dock]

And if Ukrainians had any brains they already have places full with hidden weapons and amunition to be used later.

Hidden from plain sight

[warm shale]

wouldn't be surprised if they do

[vivid notch]

russia captured airport 15 mins from the capital, or so i heard

this yes

[warm shale]

especially rn, I bet they are doing that if they haven't yet while ukraine state still has hold of its borders

[boreal dock]

Ukrainians are mounting conterattack

[crimson breach]

Yea by the air, but we are counter-attacking

This is just insane

[serene crater]

what is the opinion of russian civilians about all this?

[boreal dock]

Stingers shipped from latvia landed in one of Kyiv airports some 14h before attack. Might have already shipped out by the time rickets were landing

[alpine vessel]

In kiev?

[drowsy quail]

Nope

[unborn frost]

nato can't send troops in.

[ruby hamlet]

yes

[raw leaf]

Of course, with their incredible air superiority and numerical advantage they will push back to moscow obviously

[crimson breach]

I’m not well enough versed in nato articles, does attacking a nato members ship constitute reasonable argument for invocation of article 5?

[alpine vessel]

Gl and stay safe then

[lapis herald]

Ukraine isn't a proper member yet

[alpine vessel]

Yes even if neighboring countries get attacked

[boreal dock]

maybe giving AA support for area closer to NATO counties, but that might be all there is to.

And ofcourse intel, al lot of intel

[crimson breach]

Not Ukraine, turkey

[unborn frost]

if putin goes beyond Ukraine's borders then maybe?

[lapis herald]

I wish, but it's very very unlikely to happen

[raw leaf]

By then ukraine is ded

[crimson breach]

If they hit turkey’s ship and turkey invokes article 5….

[lapis herald]

Could happen

[cinder basin]

Turkey is fucking pissed

[warm shale]

they invoked article 4

[waxen monolith]

Yeah right now there's probably massive shipment supplies prepared for Ukraine how it gets there is the question

[real swift]

It’s just a vague collection of reports take it with grain of salt

[warm shale]

which means they will find solutions to solve the conflict

[real swift]

Best bet? Polish border

but its still 1 day of conflicts before we can really say anything

[cerulean spindle]

I've read somewhere about usage of nuclear weapons. Only use it if the enemy use it first basically.

[crimson breach]

But most countries use it as a suggestion

[cerulean spindle]

So if everyone respects that, no bombs will be used.

[crimson breach]

The only country that signed to that is China

[alpine vessel]

Geneva suggestion

[cerulean spindle]

Figured.

There is not much more of the conflict to discuss that hasn’t already been discussed, even a few hours ago I saw much of the same discussions, all that’s left to be said is support your Ukrainian friends if possible through this time

personally within discord sources of news foxhole general discussion channel has been one of the best for me since most other discord channels im in (only have gaming discord channels ) forbid the topic or censor everything

I remember a fire happening in the UK or something and I saw a meme 3h later about it.

[drowsy quail]

I am all fine with you people making memes in your own group chats with people you know but keep in mind many people in public forums/chats have family members being affected by this

[boreal dock]

If its meme about russia loosing and Ukraine winning with no bodies, you might be fine. But I think pretty much everything else will get you banned

[rapid kraken]

We even have community members Impacted directly by this

Some In Ukraine we have not heard from for over 12 hours

[drowsy quail]

That too

[fickle bone]

I'm not even going to risk it if it's not from a news source

Hopefully that’s due to internet outages

My balkan friends make memes about the Balkan wars ngl their effected by it too

[fickle bone]

Could it be carrying supplies to ukraine?

[unborn frost]

it's not a cargo aircraft.. so no

they'd use a C-17 maybe but not a B-52

[boreal dock]

supplies as bombs on enemy heads? Sounds fine to me.

[unborn frost]

[scenic raptor]

High altitude Bomber with its payload infront of it

[unborn frost]

better pic than the one i found

[scenic raptor]

If the US was transporting supplies they would use a Galaxy or a Globemaster

[alpine vessel]

They used these things in Vietnam war too

Right?

[uneven monolith]

all wars since WWII i think

[unborn frost]

yeah... some crews that are flying it now.. their grandfather's flew the same plane

[vivid notch]

javelin squad lesgoo

[scenic raptor]

Yeah

[crimson breach]

I think they used the other gaz guzzlers no?

[cerulean spindle]

Just searched for Globemaster.

Dude that's a FAT boi.

[scenic raptor]

B52s have been in service since 1955

[scenic raptor]

Because that one Is a cargo aircraft

[cerulean spindle]

Makes sense. Still fat. Lol

[topaz pulsar]

Globemasters are fucking massive on the inside

[crimson breach]

B36 was a fking beast

[crimson bolt]

I mean you can probably still use the B-29s

[crimson bolt]

Might be slow, but still a good payload

[indigo oracle]

Javelins op gg

[crimson breach]

Yeah but b36 were jet powered giants that were just too expensive to maintain vs b52

[indigo oracle]

Irl isg

[crimson bolt]

Ah

[boreal dock]

jevelin squad had nice kill streak

[scenic raptor]

Can also carry disassembled aircraft

[crimson bolt]

Closer to MBS or igni probably

[crimson breach]

And small tanks!

(Although your definition of small tank may vary)

[boreal dock]

If you count Abram as small, what is big tank for you?

[alpine vessel]

Hahahaha

[crimson breach]

It can carry the Abrams?! I thought it could get the Bradley and that was about it

Damm

[scenic raptor]

Though the galaxy is still the big boy of big boys when it comes to US Airforce cargo

Here’s a galaxy carrying a Globemaster hull

Put a 120mm APFSDS in your chest

Or better yet, 120mm Heat round

[alpine vessel]

Bradly has anti tank TOW missile THO

[mental haven]

I have to be honest the future doesn’t look bright for me, especially if he steals my blankets

[scenic raptor]

Size comparison between the C-17 C-5 and C-130s

[crimson bolt]

Which is which

[boreal dock]

I don't think it will make much difference, anything coming out of 120mm will eat bradley

[scenic raptor]

Biggest one is the C-5 Galaxy, Bottom two are C-17 Globemaster, top 4 are C-130s

[crimson bolt]

Alright

[alpine vessel]

Does Russia or Ukraine have any like b-17 gunships?

Or C-17 or whatever

[scenic raptor]

C-17s are cargo aircraft the AC-130 is the USAF Gunship

[uneven monolith]

Tbf I think the US uses them only because they can achieve air superiority a lot easier than a lot of countries

[scenic raptor]

Yes, they were also extremely effective in Vietnam and other conflicts, and still widely used today as air support

[uneven monolith]

exact reason
It's hard to survive against any self propelled AA gun with one because you present a huge target and are forced to fly quite low

[scenic raptor]

Tfw the Second largest airforce to the USAF is the USNAF (US navy airforce)

[crimson bolt]

Army I thought

[alpine vessel]

The face:

[topaz pulsar]

Bayraktar

[crimson breach]

They don’t got c17 but they still got scary planes

[scenic raptor]

Army doesn’t have aircraft, not since ww2 when the airforce split off from it

Navy has 2nd largest airforce but it’s also getting more and more vulnerable to cruise missiles

[alpine vessel]

Bruh not that Russian citizens can do something about it

[scenic raptor]

Russian gunna start throwing tanks like their expendable

[slim acorn]

Man thats a lot of responsibility

And a really extreme claim

According to the Ukrainians yeah, neutralized 15 T-72s

[thorn fulcrum]

Those sanctions must be really helping, huh?

[cinder basin]

According to Ukrainians. still that's a lot of tanks and folks

[mental haven]

It is unfortunate people have to die. I have a feeling the old people in Russia support it since it’s like bringing back lost power influence

[near wedge]

Same to us dollars

[boreal dock]

To be fair, I did not feel anything but pride for Ukrainians. Latvia was almost yearly remainded by russia that they could take us un less than two hours. And yet we were looked at as rusophobics and fear mongers.

[near wedge]

1 ruble is equal to monopoly money now

[crimson bolt]

I think yesterday it hit the government limit

[thorn fulcrum]

most likely, atleast plenty of young russian's i've seen are horrified at what's unfolding and are strongly against the war at the mo

[ruby hamlet]

All eastern Europe feels Russian aggresion

[junior gull]

Honestly, I support Ukraine, they are the underdog here and I have been keeping up on the country since the 2014 riots

[boreal dock]

Man I wish my guvorment would send you more ammo, stingers and other fun stuff. Ukraine right now is fighting for whole Europe, make no mistake about it!

[ruby hamlet]

I think we need stingers

[alpine vessel]

Still I look on the neutral side, as I totally understand the Ukrainians

[crimson bolt]

If the Ukrainians manage to hold out and stabilize the front, Russia will have a lot more problems

[boreal dock]

Guys you need everything. Im donating my older military gear to Ukrainins as fast as I can, so there will be civilian supply missions with some help.

[thorn fulcrum]

I saw on CNN they showed up at an airport to film ukanian soldiers and mid conversation they realised they were talking to russian soldier. Helicopter landed soldiers

We are fighting them now

[near wedge]

And paratroopers are arriving too

[alpine vessel]

At least they talked, when they got Crimea they didn't say a word

[thorn fulcrum]

I'm going to definitely encourage everyone to donate to any Ukrainian relief funds that prop up, there's huge support for you guys here in Ireland

[mental haven]

Do we know what Russian units are in Ukraine right now?

[alpine vessel]

Be careful of donating. There will be scams that pop up, make sure they;re legit

[royal temple]

"Dozens of Ukrainian citizens arrived at the border crossing point in Sighetu Marmației on foot on Thursday morning, wanting to enter Romania for fear of the war that Russia started tonight. Also, thousands of people panicked by the beginning of the military conflict stood in endless queues at the border between Ukraine and Romania, in the Siret area. Thousands of Ukrainian citizens could arrive in Romania in the coming days. Officials in Bucharest said on Wednesday they were preparing to receive 500,000 refugees."

[alpine vessel]

It's from the national fund here in the Netherlands

[unborn frost]

as for russian units.. troops aren't wearing patches.. so you can't tell

[raw leaf]

The fact that they say the tragedy will repeat is so utterly dumb. The nucler plant doesn’t work anymore and the radioactive material is encased in a armored dome. No point in russia repeating the accident

[mental haven]

This is the closest I have come to believing that one side in a war is genuinely being the bad guys

Oh ok

[junior gull]

That link I posted is a video of helicopters flying over a Ukrainian city

[mental haven]

I just can’t in my mind justify any of the actions russia has taken, I can’t sympathize with their invasion or believe they’re doing it out of kindness for Donetsk and Lugansk

[swift pumice]

I think Ukraine joining nato was a time bomb that Russia feared and they just went in ig

[crimson bolt]

Have we gotten any updates within the last 30mins?

[thorn fulcrum]

I've been religiously following russian.rt and western news papers as of late to get both sides, unfortunately russian news is showing so much fabricated news, most of the images and videos have Meta data from 2019, not even thorough

[junior gull]

Also, I have a friend in Norway who said that Ukraine has asked Norway for supplies and troops, he’s afraid that he might get drafted if Norway goes in.

[swift pumice]

Russia threatened nukes if anyone came in

[mental haven]

Oh yes I’ve been watching Russian outlets, idk how many use them but I’ve mostly been watching vesti.ru to see what they’re saying and it seemed to be spreading misinfo

[toxic spade]

they'd get obliterated aswell

[crimson bolt]

[toxic spade]

bluff

[mental haven]

I don’t exactly trust western media either saying that tho

[swift pumice]

It is probably a bluff but most of the world would rather not take their chances with nuclear war

[boreal dock]

https://liveuamap.com/ you can use this map to follow.

[swift pumice]

And make fallout the reality

[near wedge]

Obviously, they are doing it to retake the control of former Soviet Union territory. Not to help a bunch of separatist that the entirety of the world has agreed to be bad

[junior gull]

They didn’t threaten nukes, just extreme consequences, which probably means nukes

[mental haven]

I’ve got a couple different sources for the conflict

[crimson bolt]

Have been

[toxic spade]

where is mccarthy when you need him

[thorn fulcrum]

if anyone used a nuke they would be condemned to the ground for decades or centuries, the USA only got away with in ww2 because we knew little about nukes and human rights

[mental haven]

This is semantics, but it seems the goal is not outright annexation but rather to bring back the influence they had in Soviet times

[boreal dock]

"Ukrainian army repelled Russian attack on Okhtyrka" is probably latest news there are

[swift pumice]

Can’t condemn anyone if everyone’s dead

[thorn fulcrum]

yeah russia always loved puppet nations

[misty vault]

Can't we mobilise the Foxhole playerbase to help Ukraine out?

[hazy bone]

we dont know that yet
no countries have used nuke during war time
after ww2

The Rusia ukraine crisis is basically a test who would push the button first

I’m not really worried about a nuke, I am more worried about a stray bomb hitting something very radioactive in Chernobyl

[thorn fulcrum]

I know in cuban missile crisis was a close call but times have changed. Most of Russia's nukes prob aren't combat ready even

[misty vault]

Might be their intention. "Accidentally" causing Nuclear Warfare, without the use of Nukes.

[drowsy quail]

Why is it being called a crisis and not a war by some people?
Is there a reason or just bad choice of words?

[mental haven]

It’s worrying to me how many Russian social media accounts are saying Ukrainian isn’t a true ethnicity

[junior gull]

Maybe, I hope it isn’t

[hazy bone]

it was a really a close call tbh
good thing both side agreed to slowly back off

I’m tired of geopolitical situations being sensitive

[indigo spade]

I dont think so

[mental haven]

In the UN I think the Ukrainian ambassador seemed to be implying he wanted NATO or SOMEONE to step in and help them

Like with military force not just supplies

[junior gull]

British ministry of Defense just put this out a few minutes ago

[drowsy quail]

Honestly i dont think they would fuck around with the whole Chernobyl thing since that gives a reason for NATO and the EU to intervene. I remember during the Yugoslav wars that when serbian jets where flying around the Slovenian/Croat nuclear powerplant the US made it clear that in no way the powerplant is to be considered a military objective

[crimson bolt]

People tend to forgot that in the digital age anyone can participate in cyber warfare

[swift pumice]

I just think sanctions and sending supplies will be the most the rest of the world is going to do

[hazy bone]

Political thing
Rusia said to send Peacekeeper to defend both sovereignty of 2 independent state donestk and Luhansk which the rusia guaranteed

but on the west it's close enough as an agreesion as a declaration war but did not officially announced war
soo a crisis

[indigo spade]

Also fun fact, when the war was official, and the news started talking about it, the website died for a hour

No one in Ukraine on the front probably deserves to be where they are and the people who started it are back in Russia in no danger

[boreal dock]

[crimson breach]

Maybe I’m just jaded from this stuff

[red slate]

Honestly, I can't feel bad for Russian casualties, they signed up for this after all.

[toxic spade]

there have been conscripts

russian.rt website is down, wonder they get ddos'ed?

[fading dove]

Another high intensity battle is currently ongoin at Kiev's Hostomel airport some 25km from Kiev city center

russians are advancing rapidly

[thorn fulcrum]

think that might be the one CNN showed up at

[sweet geyser]

How’s the war going

[karmic ether]

that's weird insofar russia doesn't like twitter

Isn't there something about twitter being blocked in russia actually

[sweet geyser]

War 88 ends already?

[thorn fulcrum]

they said that russian helicopter troops they were interviewing were in an intense firefight with a ukranian counter-attack

[red slate]

Russians outnumber Ukraine 4:1, this was always gonna happen.

[boreal dock]

As far I'm avare of it, its paras with no real resupply and support

[silk stag]

Idk if this was posted, but here, have a map with news from Ukraine https://liveuamap.com/en/2022/24-february-1714-donetsk-region-grads-at-novotroitske

[fickle bone]

They can always drop in more supplies

especially if they capture the airports

[boreal dock]

Are you saying Ukraine have like only some 50k man?

[red slate]

Honestly, I hope they take Russians they capture phone's, take a picture of them, and send them to their families, with a note to thank their lucky stars they aren't dead.

[thorn fulcrum]

useful, cheers for the post

[mental haven]

I hope that one Ukrainian reservist that was in this chat is okay

[red slate]

Ukraine has like 200k. Russia has almost a 1 million forces in the area.

[junior gull]

Chinese aircraft entered Taiwan airspace and was warned. https://t.co/bZGox73Ewe

[whole moon]

no, russia has 900k total active

[mental haven]

😛

[whole moon]

I highly doubt their entire armed forces are around Ukraine.

[ruby hamlet]

they have around 200k

[whole moon]

either way russia has intel, tech and training advantage over ukraine

[boreal dock]

Where you get that numbers? Ukrain has about 300k and an other 500k with combat experiance and russia had at best 200k of troops at border with Ukraine with max 50k in belarus

[whole moon]

so they will win

its just a matter of how much the Ukraine bleeds them imo

[sweet geyser]

I’m living Taiwan and that’s daily routine for Chinese. I bet they don’t have ball to attack us now

[karmic ether]

I suppose belarussian troops are helping the russians too

[mental haven]

You’re kinda describing it like it’s a videogame

[whole moon]

its just a fact?

[toxic spade]

foxhole players

[mental haven]

Russians have out researched Ukraine!!!

[junior gull]

I sure hope they don’t, if they do America will go in. I would rather not fight the chinese.

[alpine vessel]

not yet

[whole moon]

its obvious the first two given the fact that every military installation got hit with missiles almost at the same time this morning

[boreal dock]

USA is sharing intel and Ukrainians have 8 years of war experiance. While russia have none of it

[fading dove]

Ukrainians claim 4 enemy tanks knocked out near Kharkov

[alpine vessel]

bruh

[limber vault]

Dunno about training since we were fighting from 2014, everything else is right

[toxic spade]

ayyy cryner you're ok

[fickle bone]

Need I bring up vietnam?

[echo anchor]

TOP TIP FOR EASTERN EUROPEANS: To prepare for any Russian invasion past Ukraine, weather as many lightning bolts to the cranium as possible. This will help train your body against Tesla Coils.

[boreal dock]

column of 15 T72 destroyed by javelin to

[alpine vessel]

russia fought in Afghanistan and stuff aswell back in the day

[limber vault]

Last few percents of my battery XD

[sweet geyser]

I don’t have much faith in Biden ….. depends what he has reacted on Russians

[indigo spade]

World War? 0_o

[whole moon]

vietnam had vastly different conditions hahah

[fading dove]

wow

[toxic spade]

godspeed

[whole moon]

heavy jungle etc

[thorn fulcrum]

Vietnam is a naturally defensible country that favors locals, Ukraine is flat

[twilit pivot]

Heard russians are in the capital now

[limber vault]

Lol, no

[boreal dock]

in 80s not realy 2022 and anyone who fought then are probably retired now

[alpine vessel]

your still here POG

[junior gull]

I have 0 faith in that decrepit fuck, but I think we are binded by a treaty to go in, or there will be a lot of pressure to do so

[fickle bone]

Means vehicles are out in the open more, hence the reports on russian convoys

[thorn fulcrum]

true, but not sure it'll help since it's easy to report on both sides

[mental haven]

I don’t think Russia is 100% going to win, I think that ukraines best chances are simple at the point where they have to accept nato isn’t going to do anything, and they likely lose half the country

[limber vault]

Banks don't work btw

[fickle bone]

Also true

[crimson bolt]

VDV took an airfield it seems, qrf is already on it from what the liveaumap says

[mental haven]

But I do think they can stop the Russian advance

[thorn fulcrum]

yeah hardly in russias best interest to end up with more nato countries on their border

[uneven monolith]

"Foxhole moment"

[sweet geyser]

Don’t know if majorly of American s will fight and die for Taiwan a a small island

[uneven monolith]

sorry in advance

[red slate]

Biden has a lot of the blame, he was VP when Russia annexed Crimea, and he's president when Ukraine is currently being annexed or puppeted.

[thorn fulcrum]

Javlin missiles may be key against russias massive tank fleet

[limber vault]

We have more bodies

[twilit pivot]

Qrf is pog

[limber vault]

Mammon rush ftw

[crimson breach]

Yeah, hopefully by tomorrow we remove them from swift and Russia’s banks won’t either

[mental haven]

If Ukraine gets enough supplies and perhaps advisors from other countries, they can out-resource Russia potentially. Maybe I am wrong

[twilit pivot]

Its too slow

[boreal dock]

knowing what trump have said in recent days, hope that baboon doesnt get reelected

[sweet geyser]

Lol damn Biden

[junior gull]

I wouldn’t like it, but I would join up if we went it, I think the majority of Americans just don’t like China so we don’t know what could happen

[twilit pivot]

And ukraine does not need advisors

[crimson breach]

Sorta, they need at and defense against air

[twilit pivot]

They need materials

[fickle bone]

If ukraine gets material supply from countries, that'll solve only one side of thier problems

[red slate]

I swear, if we don't have the balls to remove them from SWIFT I'm gonna kick a squirrel

[crimson breach]

They have those but need more

[cerulean spindle]

The urge to make a Foxhole joke out of that is big.

[mental haven]

Let’s slap another sanction on Russia for good measure

[cerulean spindle]

But the fear of getting banned is greater.

[twilit pivot]

Wtf where is logi

[toxic spade]

their stock market is utterly fucked rn

[fickle bone]

oh no, sanctions!

[cerulean spindle]

Logistics.

[red slate]

We shouldn't do sanctions, we should do full on embargos.

[junior gull]

Need those Rmats for those missiles

[mental haven]

It makes me angry the Russian oligarchs will feel NOTHING of this

[crimson breach]

I mean I kinda take it’s a given now but what i really want is for the damm English pm to start seizing assets from the London/Russian asset safe haven

[toxic spade]

sad truth

[rare umbra]

This war is gonna fuck the economy in America even more

[sweet geyser]

Yea. If I’m American, why should I fight and die for a small island for no reason, I prefer staying at home and prey for them.

[thorn fulcrum]

like with Belarus sanctions they countered it by reducing the wages of their employees

[mental haven]

LOL

[crimson breach]

Swift is different

[twilit pivot]

Muuh gpu

Its gonna go up in prices again

[indigo oracle]

Nah if China Invades Taiwan Japan gonna throw hands

[crimson breach]

It’s the nuclear bomb of sanctions, cripple economy sanction type

[junior gull]

That’s fair, one way or another I think that America will be at war with China within 5 years

[mental haven]

Belarus is literally the most stereotypical dictatorship I have seen in the modern age oh my LORD

[indigo oracle]

And S Korea

[fickle bone]

Japan will still need help

[worldly plaza]

Kharkiv underground rn.

As the channel reports.

[rare umbra]

Japan and Taiwan can't beat China on their own tbf

[thorn fulcrum]

I feel Putin is doing this to deliberately spite the world, like I mean we only got out of a near 2 year lockdown from covid in Ireland now this 🙃

[red slate]

Metro 2022

[indigo oracle]

USA wouldn’t let Japan fight china alone

Japan wouldn’t let Taiwan fight alone

[thorn fulcrum]

Japan has pretty low morale too

[twilit pivot]

If china gets frisky america will respond... Hopefully

[junior gull]

If japan got involved, America would too

[sweet geyser]

Japan Maybe will

[thorn fulcrum]

statistic showed Japan has the lowest willingness to fight for their country in the world

[mental haven]

In perfect honesty, I feel this war was planned to be much earlier, but Covid stepped in the way of it

[junior gull]

I can agree with you there

[fickle bone]

Massive turnaround from WW2 then

[thorn fulcrum]

yeah I've said for a long time that Putin has been planning on bringing in the western block by force

[rare umbra]

Russia and Ukraine have been fighting over the Donbass region for 8 years

[thorn fulcrum]

and Putin is dangerously patient I've said it was coming some day

[mental haven]

Correct

[mental haven]

We kinda… already know this?

[red slate]

Two nuclear bombs, having your cities fire bombed, and being an occupied country for almost a decade would do that.

[rare umbra]

I mean in response to what you said but ok

[fathom sinew]

[hazy bone]

anime and hololive
the morale of loosing your favourite anime and character is too intense

Spare japan from WW3 please

[cerulean spindle]

Latter just fired one of their talents btw.

[mental haven]

Place, Japan

[hazy bone]

yeapp 😔

[junior gull]

Who got fired?

[thorn fulcrum]

Japan can establish the anime empire after its spared from a ww3's chaos

[cerulean spindle]

Rushia Uruha.

[hazy bone]

rushia

[cerulean spindle]

Kinda ironic considering current events. Lol

[junior gull]

Huh never saw them, welp sucks for them

[mental haven]

Idk if anyone ever watched them, but there used to be these alternative future of Europe vids and in every single one Russia invaded Ukraine lmfao

[mental haven]

I feel like everyone just knew this was coming

[junior gull]

The map ones?

[mental haven]

Yep lmao

Imagine they annex Ukraine and let them keep only Lugansk and Donetsk

The ultimate plot twist

Would be very funny

lmao

now that is some real American shit 😄

[scenic raptor]

Can’t wait to see what new British wartime “delicacies” we’ll get

[crimson breach]

Tbh I’m not too shocked at the high attrition rate on the aircraft and mobile vehicles, between large amounts of man portable at and the mobile air defenses (that have had years to hone their skills on Russian style planes considering Ukraine has similar)

[crimson breach]

Ahh yes!

The exquisite taste of wartime British food

[limber gale]

That's some top tier America moment

[neat lichen]

they will put adds on anything as long it does not show nipple

[red slate]

So according to CNN Russia isn't likely to be kicked out of SWIFT.

[scenic raptor]

“This airstrike is brought to you by Applebee’s”

[toxic spade]

"this media cannot be played"

[crimson breach]

How…..

Like what is it gonna take, invading Washington DC?!

American Georgia?

[mental haven]

No, if they invade Washington DC they’ll slap Russia with another sanction

[red slate]

I voted for Biden but christ. If you want to take the "peaceful" option, you gotta choose the nuclear "peaceful" option.

[limber gale]

Fallout larpers on their way to become ghouls

[crimson breach]

Yeah at least crush the British pms balls and make him seize Russian oligarchs many many assets and money hidey holes in London

[fading dove]

Russia absolutely needs to be remoed from SWIFT

[junior gull]

You know, I just realized that if Putin did mean that he will nuke anyone who joins, and if the US joins, I will be in the city most likely to be hit by a nuke. Fuck.

[worldly plaza]

If it helps, a nuclear war means you're fucked. No matter where you are. D:

[crimson breach]

Ehh, he’ll probably start with some strategic nuking of us in east Europe before that

[mental haven]

Where I live, it would be vaporized almost instantly

[crimson breach]

You got a few hours warning maybe

Same

[fickle bone]

So, what is SWIFT? cuz I've heard it metioned a couple times

[distant bridge]

I'm fine here in Ghana for now 😅

[crimson breach]

At least I don’t gotta worry

[junior gull]

Yeah maybe

[worldly plaza]

It's a system that sends payment orders.

[mental haven]

Oh shit someone from Ghana? What’s it like there this time of year?

[distant bridge]

Too hot, I'm German though but kinda wanna stay here now

[crimson breach]

Imagine PayPal but for big banks

[fading dove]

Russians capture Chernobyl nucear power plant some 10 minutes ago

[junior gull]

Btw if anyone is wondering where I live, it’s Houston Texas, one of the most likely places to get hit by a nuke if it happens

[worldly plaza]

A bit longer than that.

[fickle bone]

Cool, thanks

[crimson breach]

If banks can’t trade between each other they are essentially dead in the water and there is bound to be a run on bank followed by financial chaos

[mental haven]

They’re apparently using Chernobyl as an artillery position(?) possibly wrong but if so… what the fuck

[slim acorn]

Well its hard to shoot back at Chernobyl, right?

[mental haven]

I’m taking all war news I hear with a grain of salt because both sides seem to be lying a lot

[junior gull]

Lol great, that’s going to end so well

[fickle bone]

Hard to strike back without causing some sort of damage to the reactor

[worldly plaza]

I'm not mistrusting much about the Russian invasion but I do think that the Chernobyl news is some kind of a fluke. :/

[crimson breach]

It’s the super nuclear of sanctions and is basically, there is no going back from this, you are alone now of sanctions

[limber gale]

Elephant foot goes brrrrttt

[worldly plaza]

Russia has its own payment system to run things internally. This doesn't solve the funds issue, but it does allow you to keep things running.

[mental haven]

I wouldn’t trust what either side is saying TOO much, of course good info is coming in, it’s just there is a huge misinfo campaign going on.

[crimson breach]

Yeah it does but that’s the thing it’s internal, the whole idea of swift is international exchanges and without that they essentially are put in Iran’s boots and that isnt fun

[topaz pulsar]

You’d know all about that

[neat lichen]

yes 😄

[boreal dock]

I understand you, but there were reports of heavy fighting in chernoby

[worldly plaza]

There were, I'm following a bunch of Telegram channels in both Russian and Ukrainian.

[karmic ether]

Holy shit, STALKER in real life?

its russian, you can tell by the EMR

no idea where, but its being launched into ukraine, probably from belarus or russian territory, or seized luhansk and donetsk territory

[mental haven]

Or possibly crimea

[crimson breach]

Any confirmation news on Chernobyl?

[crimson breach]

Crap

[sinful fable]

Fuck

they cancelled S.T.A.L.K.E.R 2, so the russian military decided to make a live action version

It's currently being used to launch artillery at the Capital

That’s a flipping war crime no?
