[crimson breach]

Oh god…

[slim acorn]

Mm

Tasty

[neat lichen]

dude shit is fire

then again i grew up eating pork aspic

[crimson breach]

Yeah, some is but to be frank, you just don’t have enough of everything like that

[neat lichen]

and in fact i have some in fridge right now

[slim acorn]

You have a very… interesting point of view

Almost confusing

[crimson breach]

Between that and the pesticides you need but won’t have…

[neat lichen]

dude you have no clue

[misty vault]

Isn't Chechenya allied with Russia?

[crimson breach]

Hahahah…

Kinda but no

[slim acorn]

Listen to drinkless rob ^

[misty vault]

Their government was replaced with one that is willing to cooperate with Russia

[neat lichen]

why do westerners even bother talking about shit like this

[crisp ridge]

Chechnya is on Putin payroll

[neat lichen]

you have no clue about how much money russia dumped to smooth it out with their local dicatator

[misty vault]

Yep

[slim acorn]

We established an anti-controversy policy here like 6 hours ago!

[neat lichen]

these dudes are just mercs for money

[slim acorn]

Wah!

[neat lichen]

this is not 90s

it's not about being mod

[crimson breach]

Aight man… you gotta chill a bit..

[neat lichen]

it's about not knowing shit about russia

[boreal dock]

Yee we import food, but its also tru that we produce a lot more food than we consume.

[misty vault]

It's probably more likely that Belarus helps Ukraine rather than Chechenya

[crisp ridge]

Basically one of the reasons why most people in Russia "love" putin, because he managed to make a deal with Chechens, and people are afraid it will be broken once Putin is away

[neat lichen]

ye

[crimson breach]

Chillll

Alright, this kids 12

[slim acorn]

Youre kind of being mean and very polarized

[wintry moss]

Do not say things in this way it sounds like a threat and an easy wayto get yourself banned.

[slim acorn]

Which to be frank is the entirety of the west right now

I should know because I actually live there…

What about this makes any of this russian propaganda..?

[edgy siren]

Take a break bub

[crisp ridge]

but Discord is US

[crimson breach]

This kids trying to pull a, I’ll call your manager on a discord server x)

[boreal dock]

Only as long as puting gives them money they want.

[last nebula]

I fail to see how having a discussion that's getting a little heated is "spreading propaganda" and threatening to take things higher up isn't going to help anything

[crimson breach]

Basically this

[neat lichen]

me saying you dont know shit about Chechens is not pro russian

[wintry moss]

When the fuck did this get added? Thanks I hate it.

I love this community)

Stay foxy

[slim acorn]

I love it too! 💙

[crisp ridge]

yes

[uneven monolith]

Armour go brrrrrr

[crisp ridge]

unfortunately no

[last nebula]

Well it looks to me like the heavy uniforms will be mostly used for trench and bunker defenses so holding a huge pile of ammo would be less important

But we'll see how it plays out I guess

[slim acorn]

Nothing practical was added to boxes just visuals yes?

[last nebula]

Just new models for WTs and boxes, yeah

[slim acorn]

Oh, I saw the towers

Im… not sure how I feel about those

Thatd be cool

As long as they dont get AI that seems pretty balanced?

[jolly peak]

No

[slim acorn]

A topic for devbranch discussion

Thatd be an… interesting concept

Maybe devbranch discussion would have something to say about that

Mym

[uneven monolith]

would be cool if we could get bunker inventories where we can store loaded rifles

other than the regular inventory

[slim acorn]

Maybe armories?

[uneven monolith]

yes

[slim acorn]

Thatd be cool

Faster pull times for weapons and ammunition

DPR is forcing enlistment

Rimmy (@Rimmy_Downunder)

Was just contacted by a third party contact residing in the same area. They're currently in hiding from recruiters. Quote:
"every man under 60 gets taken into military under the gun"
Again, their words, not mine. But this does back up what my own contact told me.

Huh

[limber vault]

Don't know where you get it, all I know from my family that's actually in Kiev is about shelling, gunshots are very rare

[fading dove]

yes

[misty nimbus]

is the ghost of kyiv thing real?

[vivid notch]

no lol

[neat frigate]

Hasn't been confirmed yet

[wintry moss]

Ghosts are never real, until you see one.

[misty nimbus]

would had being really awesome if a pilot got 6 kills

and got named for it

[delicate dagger]

People literally believing ace combat memes

[misty nimbus]

most planes only carrie like 4 anti air missles right?

[unborn frost]

not really.. they were fighting close in...

[limber vault]

Well, I know about 3 Russian jets shut down, dunno if they all were done by one person

[indigo spade]

American news say, that Putin says, if anyone interfere with the war in Ukraine, we (Russia) will result to such damage, larger than in World War 2 (aka we (Russia) will use Nuclear weapons)
Me, An Intellectual: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OQ_lHqmjosQ&list=LL&index=44&ab_channel=sad

[muted yarrow]

Wonder if Ukraine is taken, will Putin look at other non-NATO members like Finland to regain lost "Russian" territory.

Response from the west has been pretty weak so far.

[misty nimbus]

is it true 80% of russia army is attacking?

[uneven monolith]

it has been theorized by us finns yes

finland holds a long border with major russian cities nearby

it would be extremely bad for russia if we were to slip west

[neat frigate]

Bruh he just threatened military actions into Findland and Sweden because they want to join NATO. Of course he will

[muted yarrow]

I think we need to accept that things have certainly changed the day Russia invaded. And the lack of any coherent response from NATO beyond putting Ukrainian flags up in their capital should send a massive signal to other exposed countries, you could be next.

[uneven monolith]

i don't fear war

Both finland and sweden are non nuclear neutral nations

[muted yarrow]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Franco-Belgian_Accord_of_1920

[uneven monolith]

Both with large land armies.
perhaps both of them going to war with russia would be able to hinder the east and avoid a nuclear war

[proven stump]

I'd doubt Russias going to stop after this, they just got a major opportunity seeing how the west and European countries react

[crisp ridge]

he's gone nuts, even russians don't know what he will do next

[proven stump]

I wouldn't say they'd go after a major country, but at least enough to reclaim areas around Azerbaijan etc

[thorn fulcrum]

This is a pretty funny comparison they made with Ireland

[uneven monolith]

they don't have much options in europe without going against nato

[muted yarrow]

UK Minister of Defense has said the same. He was on national news this morning talking about how Putin has become an irrational actor where years of power have made him lose touch.

[uneven monolith]

Their only options they could pull off would be finland and sweden

[proven stump]

I might just be paranoid but if I were Finland etc I'd just be putting everything on that border

[uneven monolith]

we are

[proven stump]

Northern Lights alliance when

[uneven monolith]

and it's not a small army

375 000 men

[muted yarrow]

Finland has x4 the military than Ukraine and even then Ukraine is barely keeping itself in the fight.

[thorn fulcrum]

France announced they're going to send millions of euro worth of defensive weapons to Ukraine this is good

[proven stump]

Let's hope they don't learn from ww2 and just repeat the same thing

[uneven monolith]

plus finland has a territory advantage

[proven stump]

For its size, Ukraine is doing surprisingly well

[thorn fulcrum]

BBC and UK ministry of defense have said Russia is making very little gains today

[uneven monolith]

and if you go for finland it is likely that sweden is going to aid us, which will double the size of the army and add a strong industrial backbone

[proven stump]

I do believe the Javelins the Ukranians are getting will be a big game changer

[muted yarrow]

I mean x4 smaller than Ukraine. This is not the 1930s to 40s anymore. Even in terms of budget, the Russian defense spending is massive compared to Finland. If Russia decided after this to start making demands from Finland, it wouldn't be able to resist without NATO.

[proven stump]

I'm somewhat to doubt that given the geography, even with advanced planes and bombers those mountains are killers

I'm not really good with NATO or the UN but I feel like there were more options than end the world or just send a rude letter

Forgot to mention sanctions

[limber vault]

Some people here don't even care about alarms anymore

[uneven monolith]

if you invade a country covered in trees the environment will help the defender

[crisp ridge]

lol, Russia got kicked out of Council of Europe, now Russians can't fight court and death penalty can be returned to Russia

[wintry moss]

If you invade an area covered in mountains, the environment will help the Wardens because it's all mountains everywhere.

[proven stump]

Idk those Finnish are tricky

[limber vault]

Wut

[proven stump]

I don't know much about Finland or its history, but they have a pretty good track record with Russia

[muted yarrow]

You either use soft or hard power. Putin doesn't care about soft power, he's not concerned with letters or sanctions or being removed from organizations. What he responds to is hard power, real force and something that can bite back. He knows after Afghanistan that the west is utterly war shy. Stratfor intelligence spoke about this even before Crimea, Russia has promoted bogging NATO down in the middle east to tire it out so he can expand into Eastern Europe. They were right and now the west sits and watches while people die and everyone changes their profile picture to a Ukrainian flag.

[limber vault]

You mean KDA record

[proven stump]

Yes I think

[neat frigate]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XoURQOA5S5k

[limber vault]

Don't think it'll do anything

[proven stump]

I still don't see an entire reason for invading Ukraine, I understand how close Moscow is to the West but Russia never had a threat of invasion until now

Close to Nato *

Lmaoo

[limber vault]

Well, Russia never really needed a reason for invading

[proven stump]

One thing I'm unsure of is the Ghost pilot, first Ace since a while. I doubt it's real, but if it is that's pretty cool

[limber vault]

Yeah, don't know either, but it seems Russian planes get shut down once in a while

[proven stump]

I doubt this'll end in Ukraine, by no means a third world war but still

[uneven monolith]

wars always do

but honestly should the russians try opening another front in finland and sweden it would make their economy plummet even more

[sinful fable]

Time to sign up to the army folks! Lets go! 🪖

[crimson breach]

I read from France Info that it had already arrived no?

[karmic ether]

[limber vault]

I fucking hate jets

[crimson breach]

Yeahhh…

[sinful fable]

Damn

[crimson breach]

I get that, air is a fking scary beast

[hoary quiver]

Same reason as the Cuban Missile Crisis
Putin dosnt want NATO to be able to put Missile systems within range of Moscow, plus if you wanted to Invade Russia, Ukraine would probably be the best spot to do it from

[limber vault]

I am about to just set myself a sleeping bag underground

[proven stump]

One question I do have since I'm not very knowledgeable on UN and Nato as a whole.
Russia threatened to invade Ukraine if they joined Nato, they still invaded Ukraine

Why don't other countries join Nato etc seeing as it's die or not die with allies

[crimson breach]

Man, keep safe, you got friends/ people keeping guard tonight?

[sinful fable]

Well if 1 country from Nato attacks it will turn into a full blown ww3 with nukes

[limber vault]

I'm in base, we have people coming in practically every hour

[karmic ether]

I'm keeping the metro and stalker jokes for later to not offend people

[hoary quiver]

Russia dosnt have a Guarantee that Ukraine won’t Join so they are trying to force the issue through a peace treaty

[crimson breach]

Alright, we’ll sleep well mate, keep safe and don’t forget to eat and drink water

[plucky iron]

Not for later. Keep them for yourselve.
Nothing funny happened in the last days.

[proven stump]

I don't think it has to Escalate, just the threat of NATO should be enough in Finland at the least

[delicate dagger]

Say them, they're funny

[proven stump]

I wouldn't

[uneven monolith]

Threat of NATO against russia or threat of NATO against finland?

[proven stump]

Nato against Russia

The world would be a lot more fucked if it was Nato against Finland lmao

[crimson breach]

Un isn’t a what people usually think it is, it’s mainly just a forum for ALL nations, meaning that at the worst of moments, there is always somewhere a nation can contact another’s official rep

[karmic ether]

Plus

Russia can veto anything xd

[slim acorn]

Indeed

[proven stump]

Oh yeah because Russia is the president atm isn't it

So it can just veto any bills

[karmic ether]

They are a permanent member

Of the security council

[proven stump]

I'm sure that was a bright decision

[hoary quiver]

Who decided That Russia being the President of the UN Security Council was a good idea?

[karmic ether]

Their nukes

Same reason the us is there

[uneven monolith]

the russians will end up in fucking the situation up
their foreign ministry already said that if finland and sweden join NATO there will be political and militaristic consequences.
And sweden and finland will not back down because they are sweden and finland

[proven stump]

I'm putting together that there wasn't much thought put into this

[unborn frost]

Russia threatened Finland and Sweden with military action if they join Nato

[proven stump]

At least they'd have Allies, Russias most likely gonna keep trying to invade

[karmic ether]

Sweden has the funny tanks

The funny back facing canon tanks

That move at 60 miles per hour

[uneven monolith]

that's what happened
I don't know what's going on in our governement but they might call up the reseves

[proven stump]

The things that should be classified as Tank Destroyers but are still tanks?

[karmic ether]

Using them in war thunder would be pain

when has putin threated finland

genuine question

[unborn frost]

this morning.

[karmic ether]

In 15 minutes

I see

[proven stump]

Ngl that is a pretty tank

[dawn latch]

Russias economy is not looking good. They won’t be able to fight another war.

I personally dont see how they can get it back…
Maybe tanks and inf equipment but the air assets were expensive and costly to maintain, let alone build, and most of it was soviet era that was upgraded

[proven stump]

Honestly I see why a lot of Russians don't want to fight this, doesn't really seem like a war they want to be in

Probably sucks signing up to defend your country only to invade somewhere for a reason you can't comprehend

Yeah, the darkest thing about this conflict is that 95% of the people on the front aren’t there cause they want to

I'll be honest though, I'm insanely stupidly jealous of that Warden armor.

[sinful fable]

But.. the colonial armor is cute

[wintry moss]

Julian and his Warden bias for giving htem cool things.

[proven stump]

Fixed

[karmic ether]

Colonial armour

[wintry moss]

Do both armors protect against explosions? It seemed to me that the description on the Colonial one did but not the Warden one.

[karmic ether]

More like colonial hp

[proven stump]

It might be a rumor, but last I heard Russia wasn't great at resupplying or logistical actions at all

Just very fast and brute force

[wintry moss]

But also not very fast, or that great at being brutes.

[karmic ether]

They probably expected to have won by now

[indigo oracle]

If Russia tries Finland/Sweeden that’s ww3

I’m shocked we aren’t going to war

[wintry moss]

They aren't gonna try Finland or Sweden, a threat is as empty as the words.

[indigo oracle]

Just letting Russia invade a country

[wintry moss]

"Words are wind" as famous Elden Ring Author George RR Martin would say.

[proven stump]

I'd really like to doubt it's a ww3 scenario, but it definitely is high tension

[indigo oracle]

Like Poland and France letting the checkz get clapped

[uneven monolith]

yes and no
Both are neutral, and we don't know how far the world will go to stay out of war in europe in the end. It could be that all the neutral nations are abandoned to russia in the name of peace

What’s stopping Russia from helping “separatists” in Finland

[crimson breach]

Not much

[uneven monolith]

our (finnish) officers estimated that finland will have the upper hand against russia for the first 2 weeks, then running into issues

I mean massive numbers are hard

look.

[uneven monolith]

same
Both have sizeable militaries and high level AA systems

[wintry moss]

Germans too afraid to answer "yes" again

Low number = bad right ?

[proven stump]

Yes

[sinful fable]

Wtf why is the west of Europe so low! I would! Thats so disappointing to see!

[indigo oracle]

Oof

[crimson breach]

No, not exactly

[proven stump]

Wouldn't Sweden and Finland be the northern lights alliance or was that also Norway

[crimson breach]

For example iraq had the 6th largest army

[uneven monolith]

that is why i do not believe in western europe being able to help ukraine or finland

[indigo oracle]

^

[crimson breach]

It folded in days because of coordinated professional armies

[sinful fable]

The British army is quite impressive though

[hoary quiver]

Plus Most if the Fighting would be done on Finnish Land so Sweden would be able to deploy its Military without worrying about defending home

[indigo oracle]

If you have more drones or a bigger Air Force you win basically

[proven stump]

It'd be interesting if we pulled a Russia during Vietnam and had military advisors train Ukranian soldiers

[last nebula]

Well personally I don't feel a huge amount of trust in my country's government or that much patriotism. That map makes sense to me 🙂

[crimson breach]

In terms of armies in western Europe the big 4 today are france uk (top spot switches often between), then poland and Italy

[proven stump]

Wasn't aware of that, but thank you

[uneven monolith]

true. and then we get the fact that they would be able to seal the russian baltic fleet into the gulf of finland, which would render all those submarines and littorial combat ships useless

[crimson breach]

Also the giant is USA

[indigo oracle]

Didn’t Armenia get clapped cause no drones/Air Force

[proven stump]

Drones nowadays mean practically everything

[crimson breach]

Sort of but not whole story

[proven stump]

The Armenian war proved that even with assistance in modern AA drones are a fucking nuisance

[crimson breach]

It’s about air space or defense of air space not necessarily offense

[hoary quiver]

Honestly I think this war with Ukraine shows that today’s Russian Military Is not the big unstoppable monster that everyone assumes it is (witch I think the reason for that is because of COD and Battlefield)

[last nebula]

True, I guess I'd be a lot more up for that

[uneven monolith]

the finnish military exists as a bane for the russian military

[indigo oracle]

Tbh I’m just waiting for us to go to war

[crimson breach]

Yes but I’d argue in a larger conflict, small drones play a lesser role and cruise missiles and planes play a larger role

[hoary quiver]

Basically what Russia did to Ukraine’s Navy

[proven stump]

Before this I kinda assumed Russia could take on a majority of countries within days and now I'm kinda disappointed for them and I'm not even Russian

[uneven monolith]

exactly

[indigo oracle]

Wondering if china will start shit

[proven stump]

Drones however are still cheaper than most cruise missiles, you can send them out at far ranges and do a multitude of tasks

[indigo oracle]

Russian economy is gonna be terrible for years

[last nebula]

Still awful but now we're seeing how effective russia's forces are... yeah, they don't seem as bad as before yesterday

[indigo oracle]

European Venezuela kekw

[uneven monolith]

it will go down even further if they have to go to war in the north

[hoary quiver]

Same thing in American tbh

[last nebula]

Well they were kinda climbing out of the post-ussr economy pit weren't they?

[proven stump]

If they go into a war after Ukraine I feel like the rest of the world's gonna take action

[indigo oracle]

USA is op tho xd

[crimson breach]

They are cheaper but I feel like effective saturation via missiles and air power is a massive force multiplier

[hoary quiver]

The US is OP logistically

[indigo oracle]

Tbh I wanna see how EU would do vs Russia but no nukes

Or USA

[uneven monolith]

that's what we hoped for ukraine.
But the world did not help out with their militaries.
Maybe for the better, as we will not suffer from nukes

[proven stump]

The U.S. focused a lot more on technological superiority in every situation, even when it's dudes with rpgs it's usually against a UAV so far in the sky they can't even see it

Sending them food lmaoo

[hoary quiver]

Lmao

[indigo oracle]

The World is gonna watch Ukraine crumble like we did with the poles in ww2 sadly

[karmic ether]

That actually explains a lot of things

[indigo oracle]

I hate it tbh

[crimson breach]

It kinda makes sense, generally a military might mirror’s a country’s population number and economic power and sadly Russia has been having a couple of rough decades

[proven stump]

I don't know if Afghanistan or the Middle East even count, but the U.S. has definitely proved it can stay somewhere and fight there for a long time

[uneven monolith]

all of EU vs russia= europe wipes the floor easily.
US without doubt
You could do it with any major european nation

[wintry moss]

It's more one sided than it was formerly, also the world is a lot more peaceful than it was. We're not watching it crumble as much as doing what we can without making things worse.

[indigo oracle]

LOL

[crimson breach]

Ahhhh yes, I hope so 😁

[uneven monolith]

that's a finnish soldier carrying APILAS launchers

I don't want to spark controversy, I don't think we have the most patriotism however we definitely have a big technological leap

Russia?

[uneven monolith]

Everyone would clap everyone thanks to big boom

[muted yarrow]

Putin gonna start complaining of bias and demand a Javelin nerf

[indigo oracle]

But if nukes weren’t an option

Tbh can we just have Aliens come down and clap us

[proven stump]

If nukes weren't an option I doubt Russia would be piping up at all

[crimson breach]

Could we not get Sweden to send a couple dozen thousand gustav guns as well?

[indigo oracle]

I’d ok with that

[karmic ether]

Not if they come on independence day

Or if they don't know basic biology

Or if they park over LA

[hoary quiver]

Dammit

[proven stump]

I remember watching this one show where they said Aliens came down and deactivated all of the nukes and stopped the cold war lmao, can we have that

[indigo oracle]

@karmic ether I’d rather have us fight another species then ourselves honestly lol

[karmic ether]

Or if something about monsters

[indigo oracle]

The Javelin memes are pretty funny

I like the saint one

[karmic ether]

I'm also a human supremacist

[uneven monolith]

Gustav guns were german railroad guns, weren't they?

[hoary quiver]

Aliens gonna park over our planet and Fucking Godzilla will jump out of the sea and drag the ship down into the ocean

[indigo oracle]

Tbh I might get that on a flag @scenic raptor

[scenic raptor]

No the Gustav is also a Swedish ATGM iirc

[uneven monolith]

ah, explains a lot

[indigo oracle]

Or a shirt

[crimson breach]

Yeah but the swede crazy mfkers made awesome recoiled rifles and called em gustavs

Basically giant rifles that fire long distance grenades

[indigo oracle]

[crimson breach]

Very useful

Imagine all the random ass places that NATO and Russia built billionaire secret underground military bases, and that will still fight the war years after the "world ends" if that ever happens

[wintry moss]

I remember them being prominent in Battlefield Bad Company 2, back when the games were good.

[crimson breach]

It’s so awesome, the Americans bought some

[wintry moss]

The military buys the cheapest thing, unless it's very fancy then they buy the most expensive thing.

[karmic ether]

Imagine you and your tribe finding a secret military base in nova scotia and using the equipment there to unify your local region

A goos Hoi4 mod actually

[scenic raptor]

I also remember hearing that Ukraine is arming civilians with free javelins though idk if it’s confirmed

[karmic ether]

I don't know if that's epic or sad

[indigo oracle]

@hoary quiver Finally QRF

[wintry moss]

This would just be friendly fire waiting to happen.

[hoary quiver]

WW3 time!

[indigo oracle]

@hoary quiver poggers

[karmic ether]

Is nato giving them the javalins?

[wintry moss]

No they uhh, found them.

Free range Javelins.

[indigo oracle]

I think they were giving civilians AKs

[karmic ether]

I see....

[indigo oracle]

Javelins would be crazy

[hoary quiver]

Isn't that a war crime

[indigo oracle]

@haughty pivot Oh I meant black ops

[karmic ether]

Damn

[scenic raptor]

I mean did you honestly expect russia not to do a few war crimes

[indigo oracle]

Like Russia isn’t supposed to know they exist

They went to see the javelin wizard and he sent a few planes with crates

It is Russia lol did everyone forget Georgia

[scenic raptor]

Or if there is a child is pointing at you with a phone set on live stream

Well or if you lose but don't have nukes

[hoary quiver]

I’m honestly Appalled that you think Russia would ever commit war crimes as they have never committed any in the past

Russia no war crime

Just cover ups

[scenic raptor]

”never committed in the past”

Are you doubting the great and benevolent Soviet union?

Nice joke

I guess those Clearly marked medics do look like they have firearms

I’ve always been saying Putin would cause ww3, I don’t agree that all of Russia is guilty, Russians aren’t really getting a say in this, only his mafia but they are humans hell bent on gaining no matter the price to others

[indigo spade]

lol

[fossil light]

UN is gonna say some stern words and then the whole thing will be forgotten again in a few weeks top, unless Russia somehow screws up hard enough to outright surrender (which most certainly isnt going to happen)

[crimson breach]

Noooooo…. That’s just health rifles

That ain’t a great thing or a bad thing, we just have to realize that a forum for uniting nations serves a tool not of peace

[crimson breach]

Pretty sight*

[worldly plaza]

Nah, I nearly lashed out several times for his bs.

But I get it. He's going through a lot. No sarcasm here.

That stuff messes with you.

No one here will tell you your struggle isn’t real, but please do not think you have a monopoly on struggling.

We’re all in the same boat here. If I could take up arms and join the Ukrainian forces rn, I would.

But turning your anger on the people rather than the government is wrong.

Possibly.

[slim acorn]

That is relative

[mental haven]

Woke up recently, what’s the situation outside Kyiv?

[wintry moss]

Slow it sounds like.

[karmic ether]

Russia man massive skill issue

[crimson breach]

Not great, Ukraine added more unknown forces (no videos but they are present), handed out more rifles to civilians and are having them fashion molotovs

Russia is at the front door though

[wintry moss]

Nato talking about the likelyhood of deploying the NATO response force, which includes the 82nd Airborne.

they should’ve gotten involved yesterday

[wintry moss]

[crimson breach]

Probably just a bit of healthy propaganda, it doesn’t hurt to try building morale

[delicate dagger]

bruh they hitting logi, send QRF

[indigo oracle]

It’s ridiculous that they are letting a country get invaded

[wintry moss]

I'd say being able to deploy 40,000 troops to help out in a suddenly conflict in less than a weeks time is pretty impressive if it gets pulled off.

[crimson breach]

Oh yeah, no I agree

[delicate dagger]

they probably won't intervene

[vestal marlin]

There’s a nato summit going on right now, highly likely they’ll send reinforcements

[mental haven]

What’s the word on the southern defense? Are Russians still going straight for Kyiv?

[indigo oracle]

I’m pissed my own country is doing whimpy sanctions

[crimson breach]

They seem focused on kyiv

[limber vault]

Man don't be ridiculous, no one will send us troops lol

[wintry moss]

It's hard to really get involved when one country is a nuclear power.

[crimson breach]

The east seems quite robust, north east was pushed by Ukraine and south is kinda unknown (for me)

[hoary quiver]

NATO is just activating it’s rapid response force

[karmic ether]

i think that's what they were expecting to happen

[muted yarrow]

Well the Russian Ambassador to Ireland just had his car attacked while trying to enter the embassy.

[karmic ether]

but they failed to drive to the parlament

[crimson breach]

By Irish?

Complicated but maybe

[karmic ether]

it was a pleasure knowing you all

[crimson breach]

Yep…

[delicate dagger]

given your president doesn't want to get his hands dirty to not lose popularity

[wintry moss]

It's moreso the whole.. Russia being a nuclear power that's stopping us.

[wintry moss]

yes

[delicate dagger]

god save us

[mental haven]

Every single armed conflict in the modern age is potentially a tight rope walk between falling into nuclear war or the worst conventional war in human history

[true salmon]

Yeah because their response isn't "nuke everything until humanity ceases to exist"

[delicate dagger]

well russia seems to be doing the same right about now

[crimson breach]

Yeah… but I’m just terrified that the moment we send an expeditionary force, out goes the strategic nuke on Kyiv with a warning that rest of east Europe is next

[limber vault]

Can't believe just a few days ago I was enjoying civilian life

[crimson breach]

You just know he’s mad enough to do so

[mental haven]

If a nuke hit Kyiv everyone else is sending their nukes, there is no warning shot

[delicate dagger]

stay alive brug

[wintry moss]

I'm willing to bet that it's all a bluff and there's no way they would be willing to throw the world into chaos.

[karmic ether]

imagine being the guy that chooses to allow the nukes to deploy, and then have to live knowing you ended the modern world until your super secret bunker runs out of resources or the remains of your enemy manage to localise it before you localise theirs

[jade badger]

You got this brother

[wintry moss]

Putin may be willing, but I doubt others are.

[jade badger]

Stay safe

[karmic ether]

yeah

[mental haven]

Putin is a horrible despot, I would love for nothing more than him to be deposed

[formal bloom]

You Ukraine friend?

[karmic ether]

i think it's really difficulty for someone to push the big red button, the scenario of what it will be like after will always appear in their head

that's why you need someone crazy to do it

[limber vault]

Yes, I'm the entire Ukraine kekw

[wintry moss]

It's a lot harder to push it when you're the aggressor.

[formal bloom]

Stay safe where you maybe

[worldly plaza]

Doesn't seem likely, unfortunately. Seen some crazy shit in Belarus 1.5 years ago and Russia's all the same. D:

Even if 90% took to the streets, Russia's got enough NG to deal with it same as Belarus did.

[karmic ether]

even if they are like in your capital and you just want a fuck it all moment, you will do the math in your head and realise it's not worth it

[delicate dagger]

i think it's going slow cause russia is trying to preserve the structural integrity of kiev and other important sites

[wintry moss]

Considering most launches take multiple people to agree to it I doubt everyone would agree.

[karmic ether]

there's that too

[mental haven]

Chances are Russia is saving a significant force for when the West invades. It seems obvious to me that the majority of the West Military District isn’t in Ukraine, and Putin would threaten further repercussions with his army. I know we REALLY don’t think ww3 will come out of Ukraine, but the fact that every armed conflict has a potential to cause ww3 should not be ignored

[worldly plaza]

I'm not talking about the invading Russians, sorry. I mean local protests within Russia.

[delicate dagger]

if they were just carpet bombing this would be going a lil differently

[karmic ether]

the only exception i know of is the american president and vice president

[crimson breach]

Man, I feel y’a, you and your country don’t deserve this shit, you deserve to be happy

[karmic ether]

because they needed to be able to retaliate at any time as soon as possible

[delicate dagger]

[karmic ether]

to be completly fair

he was not even at the city at the time

[crimson breach]

Things ever calm down, I’ll buy y’a all the drinks you deserve, y’all deserve some fking happy ness and peace

[karmic ether]

the local garrison did it on their own and just told him later

[waxen monolith]

things be fucked man, hang in there

[karmic ether]

yeah

[indigo oracle]

Tbh I’m hoping NATO will set up a safe zone for civilians

What city ?

[analog kernel]

The opinion given out at a briefing by a senior Pentagon official is

During a carefully worded briefing at the Pentagon, the official said that the Russians’ “momentum in terms of progress to Kyiv has slowed,” adding that “they are not moving on Kyiv as fast as they anticipated it going.” He declined to say how American intelligence officials knew what Russia expected, but pointed to the fighting underway in and around a number of cities where Ukrainian forces have mounted a defense.

Russia has not taken any population centers, the official said, nor has it yet managed to achieve air superiority over Ukraine. The Ukrainian air defense and missile defense systems, he said, have been degraded, but Ukraine’s air force “still have aircraft in the air that continue to engage and deny air access to Russia.”

[indigo oracle]

Oh. Good on Poland

Why the hell every captured Russian soldier says they thought that they were going for military drills? Kekw

[indigo oracle]

Tbh if I was them I’d try to get volunteers who knows if they are next

[analog kernel]

Russia has established three lines into three cities, the officials said: Kyiv in the north, Kharkiv in the east, and Kherson in the south. Ukrainian troops are fighting to hold all three. Significantly, the senior defense official said, “Ukrainian command and control is intact.”

Makes it official that Ukraine is holding better than expected

[mental haven]

I have a dumb little prediction, treat with salt: if nato forces and Russian forces begin going to war, china will start seeding their own people further into western economies so as to further their influence and control, especially nations ravaged by war

[waxen monolith]

Well form the looks of Russian equipment, most of its been the much oldier stuff like early cold war. Haven't really seen much of their new stuff like the T14/T90's, that new BMP, and AK 12's/AK 100 series.

Yeah, it's actually 1.5 year for 20-27 yo

Ive never heard of it, give me a sec.

[toxic spade]

Right, right
Were you ever in active deployment before? Besides the year and a half

[topaz hedge]

I’m too tired to try and comprehend what that statement says

[echo anchor]

It won't be "happening" unless Putin actively threatens the NATO states bordering Russia. I.e. Estonia, Latvia, etc

[limber vault]

Nope, I'm staying close to veteran though, trying to learn everything I can about real war

[jade badger]

Is it the Irpin vid?

[topaz hedge]

I think it just says they’ll be putting NATO forces on high alert for when shit does go south for them

[limber vault]

Yes

[urban jewel]

@fossil light It might be form what I'm finding is it was started back in 1942. So possible it might be a smaller site based on the East coast.

[toxic spade]

Damn, right
Is it anything like you'd imagined?

[karmic ether]

are they really gonna get into the city itself

i thought they just wanted to surround and bomb it

[topaz hedge]

Last I heard probably not too deep

[karmic ether]

i'm glad my family was able to leave during the first russian invasion, but now this, damn

[limber vault]

I don't know, it just feels like it's been like that for weeks now

[karmic ether]

crazy to think 3 days ago a lot of people thought it wasn't a real possibility

[urban jewel]

Ive talked to a couple and they mentioned just how slow Russia seems to be taking this. Along with a lack of more modern equipment on some of the videos going around. Not a veteran myself though.

[jade badger]

Isnt this a warcrime?

[topaz hedge]

Yes, yes it is

[simple plover]

If it's real probably

I doubt they particularly care

[urban jewel]

well wasnt there a preschool that got hit

[limber vault]

I mean sending ballistic missile into civilian house building is a warcrime as well

Pretty much with the shit they keep releasing

[analog kernel]

I mean last I heard Putin was going as far as demanding Bulgaria and such leave NATO

[topaz hedge]

They’ll probably add random shit like American mercs coming in to save the day and Ukrainians somehow not being able to defend themselves despite the fact they are doing well

[slim acorn]

true

they'd have that going for them

who here would rather have Arma 4 than a new CoD game?

[jade badger]

The better question is who would rather have cod than arma 4

[slim acorn]

now lets not get controversal

because we've totally been enforcing that this entire time

[topaz hedge]

But Arma 4 is clearly better than a COD

[slim acorn]

yes but you never know who might prefer COD

[urban jewel]

just need to fix their AI

[slim acorn]

Havent legitimately played a COD game since the original Modern Warfare so I wouldnt know anything about modern COD AI

[balmy mantle]

They're quacking in their boots

Mr. Zelenskyy is appearing strong, at least through his social media posts, feel bad that from what I've heard NATO is just wasting his time

[toxic spade]

Is all that stuff about putin demanding several countries leave nato confirmed?

definitely more fitting

[fiery sierra]

As an outsider, I heard zelensky used to be an on air comedian of some sort, and really didn’t seem respectable at all

But this conflict proves he’s putting his country first in my opinion

[simple plover]

LMAO

[crimson breach]

Says something that a professional clown is better than some of our political leaders

[indigo spade]

Russia literally has like several neo nazi parties, why hasn’t Putin denazified them yet?

[twilit sentinel]

because it isnt nazism if they're on your side

[topaz hedge]

Why hasn’t Putin invaded himself yet

[mental haven]

Because he’s a little BITCH

How is being a comedian make you any less qualified that any of the idiot politicians out there?

[fading dove]

Combine that with defender's advantage

[slim acorn]

Good question

i think the factor that really evens this out is how the ukrainians are willing to sacrifice everything and the russians dont really want to fight this
