[dull shell]

[mental haven]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9rx7vMkxx78 Potentially the last feed in Sumy RN, but not seeing any signs of shelling. not sure whats going on here

[limber vault]

I mean, they kinda worked

[karmic ether]

the molotovs or he trying to make nato do something

[drowsy quail]

Damn they really did stop caring about international opinion

[warm shale]

I think ukraine is trying to make the population ready for guerrila warfare if need be

[drowsy quail]

The media in my home is filled with photos and videos of bombarded hospitals and skyscrapers

[limber vault]

Molotovs, I've received news that people were burning BMPs last night

[karmic ether]

damn

[lapis dagger]

nothing makes my brain hurt more than reading live chat on ukraine web cams

[limber vault]

Hm? I should read it then XD

[mental haven]

yeahhh

[dull shell]

ukrainian government told to shutdown all livestreams

are they still on?

[karmic ether]

some are getting taken down

[edgy siren]

Reading the chat in the stream, is giving me cancer

[dull shell]

idk what can I write here freely, but I should say that literally 90% or at least 85% of russian people doesnt know what's happening in Ukraine

[drowsy quail]

CNN reports that they have spotted an artillery unit equipped with thermobaric rockets heading towards ukraine

[dull shell]

Every day, every day...

[mental haven]

lmk if you want any of these streams

there's one alleged cam in sumy i linked

[karmic ether]

what is it like

[limber vault]

TOS-1 was spotted in Belarus before the start, I think they finally want to use it

[edgy siren]

Accusations tossed every which way

[mental haven]

if its in belarus im gonna be watchin the lviv cams for activity

[limber vault]

TOS-1 actually extremely effective in cities, if it'll strike there will be some serious casualties

[mental haven]

:/

[toxic spade]

Those are the ones that make the air bad right

Something like that

[limber vault]

No

[lapis dagger]

jesus h christ

[edgy siren]

[lapis dagger]

guess "thermobaric" gives it away but goddamn

[toxic spade]

Oh i see

[edgy siren]

Good Lord

[mental haven]

intermittently hearing a voice over megaphone on the lviv outskirt feed

hearing what sounds like rockets being fired in lviv outskirt

[dull shell]

no info

[mental haven]

not sure whats going on there

no good angles, both cameras are facing away from the source

[crimson breach]

Stay safe man…

[dull shell]

turkey banned their straits for russian ships

thats some good news

[crimson breach]

No.. imagine the air around you igniting and instantly causing an explosion

[mental haven]

at first I thought the sound was the cars passing by, but it's happening even when no cars pass by

[crimson breach]

They’re firing a rocket barrage?

[mental haven]

it sounds like a rockety sound happening in long intervals, I have no clue what it is but i hear men talking before and after it happens

[dull shell]

please, do not spread info about ukrainian forces moving, this is strictly restricted by the government, thats actually why all livestreams should be banned

[mental haven]

dont worry, not spreading anything

likely the russians would already know if there is something there

[dull shell]

russians dont know anything whats happening in Ukraine

[mental haven]

im talking about their military.

[dull shell]

they're too

[karmic ether]

aren't there any livestreams on the russian side

[edgy siren]

[dull shell]

no of course

[limber vault]

They have their own twisted point if view XD

[mental haven]

I'm going to check again

[cosmic loom]

Government sponsored cameras to watch their citizens maybe. No such thing for public use ofc.

[mental haven]

ive seen some in major cities

[karmic ether]

time to alt for ukraine

[mental haven]

sankt-peterburg has a cam as far as I can see

im gonna look up towns near the border

[dull shell]

world 2nd army by size havent captured any ukrainian major city lulz

[limber vault]

You've fallen for those Ukrainian girlfriends president promised? XD

[karmic ether]

get info from russian cameras and post it on the ukrainian discord for the clan man

[mental haven]

saint petersburg is far away from the conflict so doubt i'll see anything on that

[unborn frost]

protests maybe

[karmic ether]

unless they go full smooth brain mode into estonia

[lapis dagger]

there's protests at moscow or something right

[dull shell]

there were anti-war protest in saint-petersburg, and everyone who was there is now in jail's

[karmic ether]

ah yes

[cosmic loom]

Gulag*

[karmic ether]

[dull shell]

funniest part is that China is telling Putin to calm down and stop this

[dense python]

yeah lmao

[mental haven]

actually theres a lot of cameras near ukraine in russia that are still active

just not on the northern border

that i have found... yet

[dull shell]

because russia cant break further in Ukraine

they're literally dont have fuel

[lapis dagger]

George Bush is condemning Putin for invading a sovereign country

[karmic ether]

running out of fuel near a city in eastern europe makes you think doesn't it

[dull shell]

Afghanistan also telling Putin to calm down

[lapis dagger]

what a world

[karmic ether]

lmao

[toxic spade]

54 cities

[lapis dagger]

you know shits mad when the taliban themselves are telling you to chill

[dull shell]

and who would've know that living in Afghanistan will be far more calmer that in Russia

[lapis dagger]

goddamn

[jade summit]

Wait srsly????

[unborn frost]

yes

[dull shell]

yes

[lapis dagger]

yeah they made an announcement or something telling Putin it ain't cool

[jade summit]

The fighting is done in ukraine not russia so ye still russia lmao

[mental haven]

northern border cities in russia are mostly just broadcasting sports and shit rn, dont see any live cams so far

[jade summit]

Coming from the taliban thats kinda based of them

Perhaps russia should implement sharia law

[dull shell]

russia is being cut off from everything, no import of cars, electronics, instagram/facebook/twitter is not working there, and in future no SWIFT (that means goodbye to economy of russia) so...

[civic jasper]

Turkey is closing their access to the black sea

[jade summit]

Oh goddamn nvm then afghanistan still have weak economy doe but in the long run russia is gonna suffer too

[devout heron]

wic is smaller then italys

[mental haven]

ooh a very heavy football match in kursk right now

[mental haven]

everywhere else in russia life goes on as usual

[toxic spade]

So this is how modern wars are gonna be like

[worldly crane]

You telling me Russian army doesn't have gps?

[dull shell]

if anyone wonders how's russian army's doing (2nd large army in world, if I remember correctly): they're have mass desertion, no resources, old equipment and no information at all, they're literally doesnt know where to go, idk if there dont have any maps but still, they're like little kittens that dont know what to do

[mental haven]

sports broadcasts, people cluttering the streets

[dull shell]

Yes

[lofty ore]

Pretty sure they know where they going

[mental haven]

please dont underestimate the russian forces

[lofty ore]

But it can confuse fleeing troops

[dull shell]

we're dont underestimating, they're literally tried to take Ukrainian city and they were lost there so they had to retreat

[bitter stump]

No one should, people are forgetting 1, we are only seeing the ukrianian side, 2 Russia has over 1 mil active personel

[dull shell]

everyone thought that russia has very large army, and now everyone see that's just a sweet lies

[mental haven]

I am rooting for ukraine but you need to remember that your country is also spreading a lot of propaganda and not every piece of info you're getting is 100% truthful, just please dont underestimate them

[bitter stump]

I not really, most of the forces rn are litreally just conscripts, Russia still hasn't sent in the regulars

[mental haven]

both regulars and conscripts have been sent

[analog depot]

Bradley is right. It's not for nothing they're known as the second strongest super power in the world

[lofty ore]

Lmao

[bitter stump]

The chechens they are sending in will probably put up a bigger fight

[dull shell]

But still they cannot do anything to ukrainian army

[lofty ore]

They are not

[hazy bone]

yet

[analog depot]

At the moment, they're disorganised with lack of communication. If they become organised.....

[lofty ore]

Isn't China 1st and the USA 2nd?

[bitter stump]

But then agian, more javelins being sent to ukriane so, rip bozo ig

[bitter stump]

USA army is still frist

[crimson breach]

In army size or amount spent?

Both is us

[hazy bone]

Thats only the small part of russian army

[drowsy quail]

@dull shell be careful. I know you want to stay positive but the situation is still in Russias favor

[mental haven]

from my assessment after watching feeds and corroborating with events we've seen talked about, it seems to me that the russians are either not communicating enough or are getting conflicting orders

[dull shell]

No, its not, Ukraine still didnt lost any city, and they're only weapon is rockets, that's being actively brought down

[analog depot]

They are currently struggling from a multitude of reasons, but if just 2-3 commanders with a sense of logic comes in and cleans up the disorganisation, it's going to be extremely different.

[crimson breach]

Maybe someone is fking with their comms sats and glonass?

[lofty ore]

Let's not forget that the Russian battalion that surrendered said that they had to attack 1 day earlier

[toxic spade]

How long do we figure this is gonna last

[bitter stump]

Russia is also opening up multiple frontlines, they are massing mroe troops everywhere as we speak

[fading dove]

You have to remeber that russians have reserves waiting behind the border. It is very likely that they have not committed even half of their strenght yet to the invasion.

[mental haven]

hard to tell as the future hasn't happened yet, ill be sure to tell you as soon as it does, but my prediction is it could last months.

[dull shell]

Lets dont forget that russian army literally dont want to fight and they're running away from Ukraine actively, while every Ukrainian is ready to kill for their country

[drowsy quail]

Didnt you lose several cities?

[mental haven]

Even if Kyiv falls.

[dull shell]

Not a single city. Only villages on borders, but this was obviously

[crimson breach]

I think we can all hopefully agree, Kyiv falling is not the end
This is definitely not going to be over fast

[analog depot]

I really do doubt we've seen the more trained troops too, a lot of POW"s look young, like 18-22 young. Seems like mostly conscripts

[mental haven]

it will be going for as long as russia is willing to fight with no funds, which is estimated to be in about 1-2 months

[toxic spade]

Morbid

[bitter stump]

Probably their first times shooting a gun

[lofty ore]

Why would they send untrained kids

[crimson breach]

Nah, they still have mandatory service so they still have training

[lofty ore]

Lmao

[analog depot]

Also seems the lie they've been telling might not have been a lie, and Putin actually has sent a lot of them into Ukraine without them actually understanding what is happening

[bitter stump]

Cause they run of a conscript army

[mental haven]

they're sending a mixture of career soldiers, conscripted men, and navy/armoured divisions of varying quality

[lofty ore]

I mean even their special forces aren't that special

[bitter stump]

Russian military plan has taken the L

[crimson breach]

I wouldn’t bother telling them if I was in his boot, just a garentee info is leaked

[fading dove]

Conscripts do have basic training

[mental haven]

lets not forget the career soldiers dont make a small portion of the forces we've managed to get glimpses of

[bitter stump]

All they have done is send them on suicide missions

With zero support

[analog depot]

Yes, and no. Conscripts don't technically have to fight unless they sign an agreement, which majority seemingly have unwittingly done.

[lofty ore]

200 vdv have been killed on the first day

In Hostmel

[bitter stump]

Ig they thought they would have steamroller through ukriane

[mental haven]

100% russia is preparing for a coordinated push with a huge portion of their forces, thats why it's been so quiet, and if trends continue, this will likely be at night

[dull shell]

They all knew where they going, if they saying that they didnt know where they going - its a lie, they're trying to justify their actions

[bitter stump]

So they sent them to capture the airport so they can bring in supplies

Clealry failed

[lofty ore]

Also those 2 Il 76 that have been shot down its a big oof

[paper owl]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L17Bi7zBJHI

[civic jasper]

No evidence

[paper owl]

the balls on this old lady

[analog depot]

Not true at all, a lot of the families of these kids who are actually protesting have all claimed the same thing. They don't want this war, and they don't understand why they've been called out, a lot of them have apparently told their parents they were just being deployed defensively.

That's coming from the parents mind, not the soldiers sent in

[dull shell]

But still they're killing civilians that trying to leave the towns, and bombing hospitals, schools and houses

[paper owl]

"take these seeds so when you die at least flowers will grow"

[mental haven]

seeing kids playing in nova karkhova again with their mothers

[analog depot]

There's always going to be monsters in war. Ukraine isn't exactly innocent in some respects to the fighting either. That's war for you. It's shit and noone deserves to die like this. But it's sadly always apart of war.

[mental haven]

overall today has been a very relaxed day, it's too relaxed, im just waiting for the full attack to be announced at this point

[dull shell]

all major atttacks occured at nights, so this night will not be an exception

[bitter stump]

Recently a Russia warship in the balc Sea shot down a Russian jet by accident

[toxic spade]

So there's this game called foxhole

[analog depot]

And there's the first Russian blue on blue. Was bound to happen eventually

[lapis dagger]

red on red

[dull shell]

Another confirmation about their disorganisation

[mental haven]

this is a stretch, but can anyone identify this russian ship?

[analog depot]

Looks like their Black Sea flagship for the fleet

[fading dove]

It is not the firs russian blue on blue. if you search reddit for MMC (Make my Coffin) you will find a despicable story of russian blue on blue on purpose

[lapis dagger]

friendly fire is pretty much unavoidable methinks

[dull shell]

But Ukraine didnt attack Russia. Russia attacked Ukraine at 3:20 AM, like back in 1941, like the nazi did

I mean he's Ukrainian man, kind of not ideal to joke about these things with people who are experiencing it.

Hard to tell from your pic but yea does look like the Moskva

[lofty ore]

Tos-1 if I'm not wrong

[dull shell]

I'm just trying to tell what's going in Ukraine

[eager mural]

not even close, it looks like some kind of ww2 heavy crusiser

[lofty ore]

They still have light cruisers in service

But with missiles launchers

[crimson breach]

I see turrets but no missile bays/tubes

[analog depot]

225 ship number so not Moskva

Or 223

[mental haven]

I think it might be a ship from the baltic fleet

[eager mural]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soviet_cruiser_Mikhail_Kutuzov

[bitter stump]

Maybe it's one of the ships from the carrier strike groups nato deployed

[eager mural]

its memorial

[mental haven]

thank you

so yeah, that means there isnt a single russian cam I could find that will illuminate the situation from the russian side honestly

[last nebula]

It looks like a vishnya class, I think the numbers 175

[bitter stump]

And Russia isn't showing much so

You just gotta watch it from the ukrianian side of things

[last nebula]

Though none of the pictures are that clear

[dull shell]

You cant believe russian news, they're saying they have no casualties at all, but the videos tell the other, so you cant believe them at all. They will do anything for their citizens to stay calm and do not protest

[pseudo roost]

They were right that the Mikhail Kutizov

[mental haven]

yep just confirmed it

so I won't be watching russian cams too much

gonna peer in if I get an alert for russians moving around

russian around

[dull shell]

Sumy being bombed rn by GRADs

[hazy bone]

remember folks
when talking about current crisis in Ukraine and Rusia

Please be mindfull that it's real life people we are talking about it. People that have family, life, story and such from both side that got pulled from the crisis.

Even here, there are people from russian and ukraine itself reading this actively and silencely and others who prefer to stay neutral

when they sorry gone, they gone forever. They wont come back in second
unlike in foxhole, where soldier are easily replace by number of shirt.

thats all for me

[last nebula]

Nvm I found a better picture of the ship class and that's not it

[mental haven]

agreed

[silver urchin]

what does swift mean?

[dull shell]

pay system, without it - russia will have no economic operations with other world

rather not pay system than an economic system or something like that

[jade badger]

Any major updates since like 10 hours ago?

[crimson breach]

PayPal for banks (not entirely but essentially do gist)

[mental haven]

seems to me russians are regrouping for another push at some point

everything has been calmer today

[civic jasper]

IT involves very large sum of money

[jade badger]

I see, thanks

[dull shell]

Russian Forces attacking ambulances, 1 dead

[crimson breach]

There were visual reports of thermobaric rockets being seen being brought forward

[fading dove]

What is thermobaric rocket?

[mental haven]

ukrainians putting a curfew on kyiv, pushed back a few pockets still in ukraine, I'm hearing explosions just now on the kyiv feed

correct

[crimson breach]

Picture an explosion where the air around you ignites, creating a wave of high pressure

[fading dove]

Kind of like daisy cutter?

[civic jasper]

nah a simple google search says that it sucks the air

[mental haven]

do you hear those explosions on the ground @dull shell

[civic jasper]

out on explosion of Thermobaric

[crimson breach]

Not entirely sure what a daisy cutter is

[dull shell]

Nah

[mental haven]

im picking a few up from the city center

[civic jasper]

which cause suffocation and internal organ injury

[dull shell]

Silence

If there will be anything I'll write

[fading dove]

Basically a massive 6800kg bomb

Can level a small village etc

[crimson breach]

Yeah, takes in air, explosion of said air, then high pressure wave

Vacuum >ignite air>pressurized fireball

[dull shell]

"Fuck you freaking kacapie", kacapie is national slur used to russians

[dense python]

lol

[worldly plaza]

I think that would be a powerful message to send.

[fading dove]

Fuck i think putin is gonna use those thermobaric rockets. have used them in many past conflicts

[last nebula]

Thermobaric is literally latin for "heat" and "pressure"

[dull shell]

Kyiv bombing on left coast, idk how to describe, so Kyiv is split in two parts by the river Dnipro, and russians is bombing the left side

[last nebula]

mb it's greek

But still, "heat pressure" bomb

[mental haven]

that must be what i was hearing

[dull shell]

There now bombing all across the Ukraine

[last nebula]

Basically they're designed to use the air as the oxidiser for a whole pile of explosive fuel so the atmosphere burns until the explosive material runs out.

[fading dove]

The bomb that Trump dropped in 2017 was thermobaric apparantly

[dull shell]

You know, there's really scary atmosphere when there's a curfew

All street lights are out

Feeling like Silent Hill or idk

[last nebula]

Yeah I can kinda imagine

[fading dove]

Slightly different to COVID curfew I can imagine

[last nebula]

Places that are normally busy being completely empty is always weird. But yeah I guess there's some comparisons to corona but... also really not?

[balmy mantle]

How long before I get my one way ticket to Ukraine from NATO?

[dull shell]

No planes or trains to Ukraine

[mental haven]

still seeing a few civvie cars driving around]

[fading dove]

I was joking its probably nothing like corona curfew

way worse

[dull shell]

Or its SIG (Saboteur and Intel Groups, basically russian army agents) or people that working at medical service or police

[mental haven]

doesnt quite look like the latter, doesnt the curfew start in 30 mins? might just be people on a long drive through the city to get home

[last nebula]

Could be anything though, I wouldn't be surprised if there are still people trying to get somewhere in the middle of it

[dull shell]

Curfew is already as 40 minutes in

[mental haven]

thought it started at 6?

[dull shell]

Yeah they started bombing

[balmy mantle]

Have there been reports of any foreigner civilians entering the country on behalf of Ukraine to help?

[mental haven]

oh i see it started at 5

[last nebula]

There were reports of some volunteer military elements but I think they were already present when the shooting started

[dull shell]

You know, you starting getting used to bombings

[last nebula]

People can get used to anything sadly

[balmy mantle]

I saw a Picture of a guy with a Rhodesia patch

[mental haven]

seeing a single car in the southern part of obolon area

its stopped in the middle of the road

[scarlet elbow]

and that comes from a country which before kinda never in history went to attack innocent peaceful countries

take putin away pls I'm embarassed to have that as our president (although it feels like monarchy by now)

[dull shell]

Remember Chechnya, where there bombed capital Grozny to the basements, everything was bombed

[hoary quiver]

I’ve seen a video of a British Dude and A American dude fighting the Russians in Hotemel

[scarlet elbow]

that's putin as well yeah

[hoary quiver]

On r/combatfootage

[mental haven]

wtf this fella doing

[dull shell]

Riding his car lulz

[mental haven]

must not care about curfew

[dull shell]

idk what inside their heads

[last nebula]

Maybe they've got "car ride in a warzone after curfew" on their bucket list?

[mental haven]

hes literally just stopped in the middle of the road

[scarlet elbow]

before we could think that was fine and it was a war against terrorists but by now all of putin actions are in doubt

[dull shell]

There's order to stop all suspect people on streets, may even shoot. Its not jokes so idk what inside their heads, crazy people

[last nebula]

Did we ever not doubt putin's actions?

[mental haven]

putin wasnt president during chechenya?

[hoary quiver]

Ngl I think some of the civilian casualties in war happen because some civilians are stupid and drive through a active firefight like it’s not even happing

[mental haven]

another car

[scarlet elbow]

Majority of russians kinda didn't care, I always disliked putin regime, but by now majority of russians can't not care

[last nebula]

Yeah, I suppose it's easier to ignore things and hope they sort themselves out... seems to be what's happened for a while in a lot of places

Though admittedly if something were to happen to stop putin it would need to be a lot of people at the same time, individual protests are quickly dealt with so I'm not surprised people don't want to put themselves in harm's way.

[scarlet elbow]

Yea and now it's just all bad

[fading dove]

https://www.reddit.com/r/CombatFootage/comments/t1ouys/footage_of_a_ukrainian_soldier_showing_off/

[dull shell]

I heard that all chechens but not those who in Kadirov's Polk are supports Ukraine

[scarlet elbow]

yup there are protest all around the country rn and they are all suppressed with huge fines and jail for protesters

[last nebula]

That's how it happens though, it'll get worse before changes will happen

[mental haven]

guy who completely stopped is now driving backwards down the road??

might be a patrol car, actually

[dull shell]

99%

[indigo spade]

I saw him yesterday on the news

[scarlet elbow]

yeah and it's not even 100% sure that he won't win another election, he can rig the votes and likely he was doing so all this time

[scarlet elbow]

he's just a menace to society jesus christ

[scarlet elbow]

I'd like that more tbh

Ukraine is kinda better than russia

[indigo spade]

wait you fucked it up

[dull shell]

Ukraine had made over 10k kilometers of new roads, and now Russia is destroying them wtf whyyy

[scarlet elbow]

and it's more original, ukraine was the origin of russia

[fading dove]

Its way too interesting not to see

[jade summit]

Ukraine is literally the balls of steel of russia

[dull shell]

We've had fucked up roads for plenty of years, and now when there were made good - russia invades

[scarlet elbow]

and russia made 0 over these two decades

[mental haven]

they're likely destroying them to make Ukrainian troop movements hell

[dull shell]

If Putin cared about Russia it might have been a great country, but he wants to make North Korea 2.0

[scarlet elbow]

yup definitely this, Russia has enough resources, enough everything and anything to make the greatest country ever without overestimating, but yeah it's just gonna be north korea with him

currently the only place these resources are going is oligarchs' and politicians' wallets

[jade summit]

Pretty sure russia wants ukraine because of nato but i dunno maybe its a excuse for putin to attack ukraine

Which is not justified

[scarlet elbow]

It is an excuse, putin gone mental now

[dull shell]

No one knows what Putin really want

[cobalt epoch]

https://tenor.com/view/heavenly-floop-heavenly-floop-soap-he-gif-15669148

[scarlet elbow]

the war on ukraine is completely unjustified, russia now is an aggressor

[last nebula]

Half the problem is that putin can't back down, especially now, for him there will be consequences if he can't make this work.

[jade summit]

I used to think putin is a based topless russian bear riding guy

[dull shell]

You know that shit's going wild when they're starting shooting ambulances, isn't in Geneva Convention there a line about it that restricts it??

[jade summit]

They are shooting at ambulances now? Holy shit

[karmic ether]

this is not the first war crime they commit

[dull shell]

They are

[jade summit]

Putin neo hitler

[karmic ether]

we should start doing a war crime count down in FOD

[scarlet elbow]

yeah they also were riding on tanks with ussr flags

[scarlet elbow]

no actually it's not even putin it's the soldiers now-

yeah

[dull shell]

Its the Putin Clan, all the politicians in Russian and all his friend

Air raid Kyiv, bombing, heading to shelter, see ya all

[jade summit]

The russian army is not against it?

[scarlet elbow]

damn

[jade summit]

Like the majority of them????

[scarlet elbow]

good luck

[karmic ether]

damn

and i used to main soviets in coh2 and hoi4

[last nebula]

https://tenor.com/view/putin-dance-funk-gif-7886716

[karmic ether]

i feel ashamed now, time to become america man

[last nebula]

this one?

[scarlet elbow]

majority of them are fine, it's that some deserve death sentence for their war crimes

[jade summit]

Stay safe man

[last nebula]

It's a fun animation but it definitely hits different now

[jade summit]

This shit is the worse man like everytime a year starts something like this happens

[scarlet elbow]

damn

[jade summit]

2022

[last nebula]

The song's pretty good though

[jade summit]

Putin vibing until the world ends

[karmic ether]

He might as well go out with a bang

[scarlet elbow]

yeah, humanity has some shit happening every century lol

[last nebula]

original if you're interested https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wga5A6R9BJg

[jade summit]

Its like the purge but randomized

Annual disasters

[last nebula]

Yeah, things just keep happening and it's slightly worrying

[jade summit]

I just hope ukraine somewhat prevails

[indigo spade]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=If61baWF4GE&ab_channel=RealLifeLore

[jade summit]

Literally the modern bravest country rn

[scarlet elbow]

yeah and before it used to be russia, but now we're the bad guys without us wanting it

[karmic ether]

the craziest theory i found is that putin has some sort of terminal illness

[balmy mantle]

What is the sudio clip from ?

audio

[last nebula]

What like, "may as well go out with a bang" kinda thing?

[scarlet elbow]

I think he's rather just hella psychic, shit he does just isn't sane

[last nebula]

That'd be concerning to say the least

[jade summit]

Maybe he just need someoen to talk with

Being the leader of russia is alot of pressure man

[karmic ether]

yeah a final showdown before bringing the nukes, of course it doesn't make much sense but it's fun to think about

[scarlet elbow]

have you heard putin's speech for russians when he declared war two days ago? My man sounds EXACTLY like some kind of villain explaining why he's actually a good guy

[jade summit]

Sounds like the odd mustache man

[fading dove]

I have to wonder if these russian soldiers have any idea that the whole world is watching them on the internet

[karmic ether]

i heard in local news the russian space program threatened to deorbit the ISS

what the fuck can anyone confirm it?

[fading dove]

Because they probably aren't allowed personal phones or internet access

[last nebula]

Deorbiting the ISS would make no sense and wouldn't cause any real damage on the ground

[scarlet elbow]

and also he himself said that 7 years of being a president is enough to go insane, guess he wasn't wrong

[worldly plaza]

Yeah, it’s disgusting. He’s using vocab like “we were forced to respond”, “we were left no other option”.

[karmic ether]

it would cause damage to American property

[last nebula]

There is literally no value to doing it

[karmic ether]

yes it makes no fucking sense

[scarlet elbow]

they probably do

[karmic ether]

but i heard it from tv, so i'm trying to get sources

[jade summit]

P*tin is so cringe

[last nebula]

I saw a post the day before yesterday about it, it seems like it's either fake or BS posturing

[scarlet elbow]

yup, all twisted shit like this to make an excuse to rule him out of being bad
but if you know the actual truth his speech is ridiculous

[last nebula]

Most likely fake because the level of shit that's appeared is already pretty high

[karmic ether]

the guy in charge of their space program is a total smooth brain so it isn't impossible that he said something like that

he accused an american astronaut of fucking drilling their module

[scarlet elbow]

probably fake

[jade summit]

Former KGB spy still got the cold war mentality

What a surprise

[fading dove]

its all in reddit, locations, timeline... everything

[last nebula]

Also I've been reminded of this, it's an interesting watch even if the implications aren't fun. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5iPH-br_eJQ

[scarlet elbow]

Putin is dumb but I doubt he'd do that
Although last time I said this, he actually did invade Ukraine..

[dull shell]

I really miss the times when corona was the only trouble

[indigo spade]

I thought it was The Infographics Show xD

[scarlet elbow]

yeah lol

[last nebula]

Kurzgesagt has some nice topics

[scarlet elbow]

jesus man give me back Alexander the first he was so much better

[balmy mantle]

Fuck that zoo for Killing that gorilla ! and putting us on the worst time line.

[karmic ether]

the region i live in won't be affected by a nuclear war to apocaliptic levels, but i know for most people here in the northern hemisphere certainly die, so i really hope it doesn't happen

[dull shell]

Everything is shaking in shelter shiiit

[karmic ether]

i did joke about it in the past but now it feels differently

[last nebula]

I hope so

[jade summit]

Ah shit

Im surprised u guys still got internet stay safe either way

[scarlet elbow]

meanwhile if nuclear war starts I will die one of the first, I live in Novosibirsk and it's among the most important Russian cities

[jade summit]

Wait u live in russia???

[dull shell]

Idk if it’s good that you still have internet in shelter

[scarlet elbow]

well I did talk about russians as we so

[balmy mantle]

Dont worry I live next to the largest American Naval Base

[karmic ether]

well

[limber vault]

Nukes are usually launched towards strategic objects

[karmic ether]

everyone in the northern hemisphere will get fucked by the nuclear winter

[jade summit]

Well EVERYONE are talking avout russians so i didnt know u live on russia

[scarlet elbow]

yeah and Novosibirsk is one of them

[karmic ether]

the best place to be is in between mid south america and the south pole

[scarlet elbow]

amongst Moscow and St. Petersburg

[limber vault]

How so?

[dull shell]

If Russia defeats Ukraine it will conquer whole world. But Ukraine holds this whole mess

[jade summit]

Stay safe man jfc the world is going to chaos rn

[balmy mantle]

@jade summit This is the foxhole chat. You will find a little bit of everyone.

[scarlet elbow]

It's one of the biggest cities of russia and if Moscow and St. Petersburg fall the government will move here

[jade summit]

Ik but he literally didnt give any hints or signs that he live in russia

[karmic ether]

there are probably russians looking at this chat right now looking for any info that could help them

[limber vault]

So it's not a strategic object, just a city

[karmic ether]

well

[scarlet elbow]

let's hope not and let's hope we can get rid of putin before he gets to do it if he wants to

[scarlet elbow]

yeah and it will get nuked

[jade summit]

Losing moscow would give a huge blow

[karmic ether]

Novosibirsk is a logistical center and the connection between eastern russia and european russia, so i guess there could be some reasons to nuke it directly

yes

we are so chads we made a russian spy have to look at fucking FOD 24/7

[fading dove]

Its going to kick off soonhttps://www.reddit.com/r/CombatFootage/comments/t1uizf/the_russian_army_has_deployed_the_tos1_heavy/

[balmy mantle]

Guys, The Very first thing to go in a NATO/Asian war is the internet.

[last nebula]

Anyway, I don't think nukes are likely to happen but all this talk of it is making me things about that kind of stuff

[dull shell]

I really hope they don’t start bombing cassette bombs at civilians. Houses

[jade summit]

I swear russians love fast firing rocket propelled tanks so much

[dull shell]

Everyone’s shaking really bad

[jade summit]

If its not a tank its a truck

[scarlet elbow]

that's just against geneva convention man wtf

[karmic ether]

russia already did false flag war

[jade summit]

Geneva recommendation*

[karmic ether]

and is already shooting at ambulances

i don't think that's the worse they are willing to do

[scarlet elbow]

ah yes putin overplayed factorio

[worldly plaza]

that's the scary part.

[fading dove]

Russians don't care about no rules. Lord have mercy on ukraine

[scarlet elbow]

don't generalise*

[karmic ether]

it really comes off as if putin wanted to get this over in a few hours like they did in georgia

and now they are getting fucked and everyone is mocking them

they didn't even planned to feed and refuel their crews

[fading dove]

Change my mind

[scarlet elbow]

I'm russian, as you can see I'm not in prison for not caring about rules

[fading dove]

I said change my mind. Don't care where you are from

[scarlet elbow]

don't associate russians with putin and those war criminal soldiers these are fucked up

[karmic ether]

the captured soldiers claim to think they were just gonna do exercises

[worldly plaza]

if you're looking to enter a debate, you need to be willing and interested to challenge your opinions.

[fading dove]

Do it

[worldly plaza]

not lock up and make the other person "change your mind" when you're unwilling to listen.

you're not reading me, man.

[last nebula]

It's important to distinguish between a country and the people who live there

[fathom sinew]

I'm just curious what Russia is saying to their people about the situation (admittedly I'm biased in where I receive my information from)

[worldly plaza]

exactly, but that's besides the point.

i'm saying that steve gates isn't willing to change his mind

[scarlet elbow]

yup
hell even in germany during ww2 there were a lot of civilians hating this shit

[fading dove]

lol

[worldly plaza]

so trying to convince them with reasoning is kind of pointless

[karmic ether]

i heard they are claiming no causalities in russian news is that true

[scarlet elbow]

the putin is trying to justify his actions and he's basically telling the war is for the good everything is fine

which is wrong

[karmic ether]

oh nvm i thought you were russian

@scarlet elbow i heard they are claiming no causalities in russian news is that true

[jade summit]

Btw why didnt nato recognize ukraine as their member anyway

[scarlet elbow]

dunno, don't watch them due to it being very useless

[proven stump]

World War

[jade summit]

Is it bc they are scared of russia?

[scarlet elbow]

russian news are filled with russian propaganda

[jade summit]

Ukraine is literally independent wrh

[fathom sinew]

I suspect the casualty numbers are very skewed, depending on who's posting it, so I'll reserve judgement until I see some hard numbers

[jade summit]

Fucking putin i srsly dont want the soviet union back holy shit

[proven stump]

Nah, but they know he's lost it in the head and he threatened the nuclear go ahead for NATO if it got involved

[worldly plaza]

i don't watch them either not to get triggered, but the main headline about the conflict in the Russian media is,

"Russian Armed Forces have disabled the dam blocking water supply to Crimea."

[scarlet elbow]

I hope he's against communism as he were earlier

[worldly plaza]

so as you can see, they're just spinning an entirely opposite story.

[karmic ether]

damn

[jade summit]

He is pro soviet

[dull shell]

Silence for 10 minutes. Info that they’re trying to bomb the dam

[fading dove]

Putin glorifies soviet

[jade summit]

Russian troops are even using soviet union flags ffs

[last nebula]

NATO's been saying that they don't want to escalate things further and so far only ukraine's been attacked so they have an excuse to wait. Even if it may not be the best idea.

[scarlet elbow]

oh yeah and also they're not calling this a war at all, they're calling this a god damn special operation

[karmic ether]

the Crimea dam or the kiev dam

[scarlet elbow]

that's one hell of a special operation damn -_-

[dull shell]

Kiev

[karmic ether]

holy shit

[dull shell]

Crimea dam were blown up 30 minutes ago

[jade summit]

Ah shit

[proven stump]

Don't be mistaken, this is a war. A war where innocent people are dying

[scarlet elbow]

yup, if ANYONE else gets into this conflict - boom world's gone, WW3

[last nebula]

Which is true though, as soon as NATO jumps in then the whole thing will expand to what, 7 countries and everyone else involved with them?

[dull shell]

Shit bro you aren’t helping here

[scarlet elbow]

yeah idk who they're trying to lie to

[worldly plaza]

From RIA News,

"Ukrainian Navy launched an attack on the Russian vessels ferrying 82 surrendering Ukrainians/Ukrainian border guards."

[jade summit]

Putin is pro soviet due to his ambition of a reunified soviet union

[last nebula]

Putin's career began in the USSR as well

[proven stump]

I apologize I don't mean to fear monger, I just woke up I have no idea why I even checked here

[worldly plaza]

So tl;dr, they're just twisting the story their way. They're liberating, they're restoring, they're forced to act. You get the gist.

Which is a load of bs.

[proven stump]

Besides anything I say could be wrong, there's little chance for a world war.

[jade summit]

Im still waiting for the american/british elite spies to assasinate or defuse nuclear weapons un russia

[scarlet elbow]

oh yeah they're also call this a god damn liberation of ukraine, as an operation to remove nazis from ukraine yeah

that's the part which sounds a lot like what a villain would say

[proven stump]

Wasn't that the plot of one of the Modern Warfare games

[jade summit]

Yes

[proven stump]

Well fuck

[jade summit]

Either way if russia manages to take ukraine it got the sanctions to deal with

[scarlet elbow]

yes as long as this conflict stays between russia and ukraine

[jade summit]

Im just deadass worried for the people of ukraine and its defenders

Heroic people in our times

[dull shell]

Kyiv being bombed af

[worldly plaza]

"Moldova has already taken in 34 thousand refugees from Ukraine // Certain border control points have queues stretching eight kilometers long."

I won't lie, someone showed a picture with a Ukrainian flag, two soldiers and the nazi flag, than I realized that was 2015 and they've been dealt with. There's always going to be bad apples but no justification for war

[scarlet elbow]

here go my plans on moving out to Canada as I finish university

A nazi flag with the ukrainian flag is no excuse for a war lmao

[scarlet elbow]

can smell them burning 🙃

Some are taking to the streets, but it's not en masse. Many pepole don't want to throw their lives away for nothing, and trust me — it's really difficult to gain traction.

I also feel bad for every russian who oppose Putin. They don't want to go through all this

[scarlet elbow]

every protests are getting dealt with

Yeah it's just posturing from idiots who have no clue

If the sanction continues overtime theres a chance it will rekindle and grow

I just wish china dosent do anythibg

[karmic ether]

and out of all cosmonauts, all people who lived their lifes dedicated to the soviet space program, who lived through all of the space race, putin appoints a clueless politician who always says stuff like that

[proven stump]

I don't have any feelings for Putin besides hate. But a lot of Russian soldiers have already deserted. They signed up to invade their country not invade another.

[jade summit]

Our boy Xi has been quiet for a long time now

[worldly plaza]

I recall reading something like that a few years ago.

[scarlet elbow]

same, my hate for putin was just growing over the years of his ignorance of russia's fate

[worldly plaza]

Not Roscosmos itself perhaps, but the Russian space program.

If he supports russia he'll support separatism
If he supports nato he'll burn the bridge

If China did anything you'd be one of the last areas to invade, you'd have plenty of time to get a plane to anywhere

[jade summit]

Still china got the resources and manpower

[scarlet elbow]

even Novosibirsk where I live, one of the best cities of Russia, yet looks like a total shithole in most of the places

[karmic ether]

yes a lot of it is paid by NASA, but so is most other space programs, that's why projects such as the ISS exists, but the control and appointment of personnel lies entirely within their own country

Czechs are sending supplies now

[jade summit]

Oh shit

[dull shell]

Russians trying invade Kyiv. No info

[proven stump]

Czechs are definitely brave

[jade summit]

Really? Goddamn thats great but wont that cost trouble for them???

[karmic ether]

well, just from the fact they accepted to cooperate with NASA at all makes me think it wasn't much of a priority to them

so probably no more roscosmos after this

[proven stump]

Czechs already on Russias shitlist

[scarlet elbow]

well kinda the whole europe is sending supplies to ukraine

[limber vault]

Still waiting for those supplies near Kiev kekw

[scarlet elbow]

as long as it's not their troops it should be fine

[jade summit]

I thought theyre not

[marsh seal]

Russia is losing launches to new space programs anyway

[jade summit]

Dude germany only sent helmets to ukraine since russia is so scary

[scarlet elbow]

except germany

[jade summit]

How tf id thr whole europe giving them supplies

[karmic ether]

they still have PTSD

[limber vault]

Well, we do need them

[proven stump]

Ffs we could be on Mars not in Ukraine

Judging by the casualness with which this Ukrainian soldier holding an NLAW walks around this firefight as Russian vehicles burn in the background, I’d say things aren’t going great here for the invading army.

[jade summit]

Jfc thats great then

[limber vault]

Just saw it

[jade summit]

Long live ukraine fucking love the country so much jfc

[limber vault]

Man is fucking pissed

[proven stump]

The British weapons are blessed by the God queen Empress. 40k style

[scarlet elbow]

damn I'm cheering for my country's army getting destroyed, that's right but feels weird xD

[jade summit]

Only rhubg i hate is that russians have to fight against ukrainians

Thing*

[proven stump]

It's a shame to know your country is on the wrong side. I assume that's how Vietnam felt for the US

[last nebula]

I can see the amount of memes about the russian army this will spawn though...

[toxic spade]

https://www.epravda.com.ua/publications/2022/02/26/682847/

[limber vault]

I mean it's kinda the other way around XD

[toxic spade]

Fellas

[proven stump]

Either way no matter what happens the Russian populace isn't the enemy

[jade summit]

Wdym

[scarlet elbow]

yes, we hate it too, we're literally the same people, the same nation, yet we fight each other for nothing but because Putin wants to, this is humiliating to every russian rn

[proven stump]

What's that

[last nebula]

I can't read cyrillic 😦

[proven stump]

I'm too stupid for other languages

[limber vault]

Ukrainians have to fight Russians, cause we are on our god given soil

[scarlet elbow]

can't read ukrainian well lel

[jade summit]

If putin really seeks security for its nation geopolitically wise then he shouldnt have launched a invasion to ukraine

[toxic spade]

I cant read it either but sent in the hopes someone would lmao
Supposedly it's saying russia got merked off of swift

[proven stump]

He had the thought he was going to be invaded and needed a buffer state

[jade summit]

Just implying the fact that ukrainians and russians are brothers

[last nebula]

Did a translate, it's about the impacts of SWIFT things, yeah

[scarlet elbow]

what's swift?

[last nebula]

International banking iirc

[worldly plaza]

It's a rumor that's picking up in the Russian media too, that apparently it's been leaked that Russia will be disabled--

[limber vault]

It's funny that Ukrainians and Belarusians can read and understand eachother but Russians and others can't

[proven stump]

Much of Ukraine is family to Russians

[toxic spade]

Paypal but for big banks

[worldly plaza]

It's what you use to make transactions.

[last nebula]

So a bunch of russians are being cut off from money

[worldly plaza]

It's what you should are about if you have savings in foreign currency.

Unless it's the good ole pickle jar.

[scarlet elbow]

oh here goes russian ruble, right to the skies!

[limber vault]

I disagree, but it's my personal opinion

[worldly plaza]

Sorry if I sound panicky.

[jade summit]

Does anyone have any idea about the russian currency value rn???

[dull shell]

I wanna tell you all to speak about this war. Whole world doesn’t know what’s happening here.

[karmic ether]

russia being cut off from SWIFT could actually give a possibility for putin to threaten a nuclear war

[worldly plaza]

ngl, gonna be packing a go bag tonight.

[last nebula]

I mean... not really?

[scarlet elbow]

1 usd = 83-84 rub

[jade summit]

Most unlikely unless he is insane

[last nebula]

"You cut off our money so we're going to blow it up instead"

[jade summit]

Wth....

[scarlet elbow]

it was like 73 rub before the war

[proven stump]

I agree for speaking about the war, just remember the civilians aren't the enemy, the man in the high castle is

[karmic ether]

he already threatened scandinavia

[scarlet elbow]

fuck you putin I'm already underweight

[jade summit]

If he threatens a nuclear war then russians will protest more

[proven stump]

Bad joke lmao

[toxic spade]

If he did we would die
That's it

[karmic ether]

yes

[proven stump]

Amazing

[karmic ether]

but with putin you never know

[jade summit]

Pretty sure threats wont do u any good if ur economically fucked

[proven stump]

Best way to stop money is to nuke it

[karmic ether]

that's why i said the possiblity will go from 0 to something else, but it is still there

[jade summit]

Since nuclear weapons are used as a leverage to counter other nuclear weapons

[proven stump]

He's doing NATOs Job for them

[karmic ether]

the only thing to threaten with are nukes

[scarlet elbow]

I mean, for this he'd have to care for his people, don't think he cares much about that for himself

[toxic spade]

To the moon 🚀

[jade summit]

Which again is unlikely since it wont do u any good even if he did it nukes will be launched on him too

[limber vault]

Well, he'd be cut down like Cesar I'd assume

[karmic ether]

it's not about launching the nukes, it's about not being expelled from SWIFT and having your entire country collapse

[proven stump]

I've been talking since I woke up Damm. I'm gonna brb for a little bit

[jade summit]

Putin is going to the path of nikocado avocado....

[limber vault]

Et tu Brute

[fathom sinew]

They do have the cash reserves to pull through, at least in my view, they wouldn't risk this without having planned for such a situation to take place. From my third party outside view of things, looks like they were going for a decapitation strike that fumbled

[scarlet elbow]

I hope so

[karmic ether]

yes

[limber vault]

All I can say is that Ukrainian army is pissed off

[karmic ether]

they planned to do it like they did in georgia

[jade summit]

Why?

What happened

[karmic ether]

thats what it looks like at least

going straight for the parliament with fake Ukrainian uniforms

[dull shell]

Kyiv silent for 10 minutes I guess. They wanna bomb power plants

[limber vault]

Wouldn't you be pissed if your city was bombed?

[scarlet elbow]

unfortunately can't see that though seems like twitter has always been really slow in russia

[dull shell]

Battle of Kyiv at night I guess

[jade summit]

I mean yeah but i was expecting something happened other than rhat that would piss the ukrainians more

[limber vault]

It's battle everywhere, we assume some guests here as well

[karmic ether]

please forgive me for that but https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/203512636556574720/947171481861910538/unknown.png

good luck

[limber vault]

@dull shell just heard that there's alarms going off in Kiev

[scarlet elbow]

good one

[limber vault]

Well, man's probably off to shelter

[vestal marlin]

https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.rferl.org/amp/czech-netherlands-military-aid-ukraine/31724987.html

[jade summit]

Niceeeee

[karmic ether]

do you think russia will give up

[jade summit]

No

[vestal marlin]

Eventually yes

[jade summit]

Not rn atleast

Putin has invaded a independent nation

While also performing atrocities

[limber vault]

Attrition is still a thing

[unborn frost]

US gonna send more arms and stuff soon.

[karmic ether]

putin called for the ukranian military to coup the "genocidal" president because it would prefer to negotiate with them lmao

[jade summit]

We just need russia to lose more resources than ukraine itself

[dull shell]

They are

[limber vault]

There are usually ten times more wounded than killed

[jade summit]

Ever since the invasion started i have been literally checking up on the situation of ukraine

Ever since

[limber vault]

Got to shelter?

[dull shell]

A LOT of bangs

[proven stump]

Britains weapons may be blessed by the Empress, but ours are just fuckin mean

[limber vault]

Which region?

[dull shell]

I’m in basement. You can’t go to bomb shelter, if you go to street- you gonna get shot

[dull shell]

Northern Kyiv

[jade summit]

The weapons are smelted from the same metal used during the cold war

[limber vault]

Oh, true

[karmic ether]

are they in the city itself already?

[jade summit]

I think the ukrainian army repelled them?

[proven stump]

Tmk they've crossed the Western border of the city but have been held off for a while

[limber vault]

Troieshchina I assume

[worldly plaza]

stay safe there, man.

[karmic ether]

damn

[worldly plaza]

is there a daytime curfew now?

[proven stump]

I think there's a country wide don't go outside curfew

[scarlet elbow]

nope

[karmic ether]

crazy to think that this is the first war in non-balkan europe in a long time

[dull shell]

Curfew for 40 hours

[worldly plaza]

hang in there 😦

[karmic ether]

if ukraine is in total mobilisation is all the food coming from outside?

[proven stump]

A lot of the supplies are

[dull shell]

No total mob.

Many people goes to army by themselves

[proven stump]

Most of Ukraines forces is still in reserves, might be incorrect

[dull shell]

Morale very high

[karmic ether]

damn

[sinful fable]

Sending love your way ❤️

[toxic spade]

send javelins and stingers instead

[proven stump]

Isn't that love in its own form

[crimson breach]

every javelin, nlaw, stinger and exocet is kissed beofre deliver to ukr forces

[proven stump]

Those fuckin British touching our weapons

Why I oughtta

[jade summit]

Lmao

[proven stump]

Still love the Jav, I mean there's countermeasures but nothings really effective at stopping it. You can't just put more armor on the top

[sinful fable]

Are you all feeling okay mentally? And have you all eaten well and staying hydrated?

[fathom sinew]

Watch out for herpes on your antitank weapons, best to give it to someone instead (ammo first)

[proven stump]

I just woke up I haven't had time to even breathe

[crimson breach]

Nah probably not but im pushing myself in my work and my work is pretty fun right now.

[crimson breach]

man, my mate, go get some tea, tkae some time for you

[proven stump]

I almost feel bad for the Russian crewman, as soon as a Jav goes off its literally a timer until your death

[worldly plaza]

That means you're human.

[sinful fable]

Yerro, are you on the frontlines?

[proven stump]

I completely understand seeing Russia as an enemy, but it's just the guy up top. We've already seen mass Russian desertions. They didn't exactly sign up for this. Comparative to Vietnam, the first troops didn't expect to be thrown into hell

[dull shell]

I hope all wars will be in video games shit

[proven stump]

I will admit if I were Russian I'd be fucking terrified of Ukrarnian Morale

[worldly plaza]

nope D:

[jade summit]

Only best way to think of it as is that u dont get to see their faces when they are about to die war is really tragic

[sinful fable]

It's a mess. No one is an enemy and they're doing what they feel is right, I agree with you that it's usually the governments and the people up top which are just sitting back and watching everything (with exceptions.)

[worldly plaza]

Not sure what made you suspect/wonder if I was.

[dull shell]

Russians have no morale because they don’t know why they’re fighting for. Ukrainian army morale is very high, everyone will fight for their homeland

[worldly plaza]

I just wanted to support Amita for showing compassion even in the case where none is deserved.

[proven stump]

Javs should be painless, unless you're looking directly at the AT soldier you won't know what's happened until you can't think anymore.

[jade summit]

Glory to ukraine

[fading dove]

Russian soldier is fighting an offensive war with potential relatives in Ukraine. Ukrainians are fighting for their existence

THREAD 1/7 Intel from a Ukrainian officer about a meeting in Putin’s lair in Urals. Oligarchs convened there so no one would flee. Putin is furious, he thought that the whole war would be easy and everything would be done in 1-4 days. @EPPGroup @general_ben @edwardlucas @politico https://t.co/8AoelUDWM9

In the end we're all human, no matter what side you root for it's important to remember all of this is fucked up

[scarlet elbow]

I'll agree, we're the same nation really, so we've got the same mentality, and our mentality is to never give up

[proven stump]

I won't say too much about it since I'm practically a broken record but best of luck to the peace talks

[crimson breach]

careful with that, perhaps its true, perhaps its pysops to lower people expectations

[dull shell]

Russia sends paratroopers to Black Sea where’s 0 Celsius water. A lot of people dies

Nice tactics bruh

[proven stump]

I have a feeling a lot of this wasn't planned out very well

[crimson breach]

Nah yeah, this was definitaly a plan b or c

Someone fked up plan A somewhere along the road

[scarlet elbow]

that's some not russian russians if they can't withstand cold just saying

jk

[proven stump]

Lmao

[fading dove]

Where are you getting all this from?

[jade summit]

Cant really imagine what it is like there living in russia the cold is literally my weakness goddamn

[scarlet elbow]

it's just that here it is (usually..) -40C in winter lel

[proven stump]

The VDV shouldn't even be deployed due to Ukraines air strength, I have no idea why this is part of the thought

[scarlet elbow]

but now we have global warming and this was the first winter I've ever experienced in Novosibirsk without it getting to -40, maximum was -34

[dull shell]

News

[fading dove]

Are the TV channels still working normal?

[karmic ether]

the only thing i know about Novosibirsk is from hoi4 and metro exodus but seems like a nice city

[hoary meadow]

its not only that, they shouldnt have been deployed without support

[dull shell]

They’re working 24/7

[hoary meadow]

the day 2 attack only worked because russia decided to move closer into kyiv with ground forces

[karmic ether]

i'm surprised the internet is still up

I've got a report from someone I know on the scene that Russia is massing artillery east of Kyiv. If correct (I have no reason to doubt it) it bodes ill.

Twitter · Feb 26, 2022, 4:58 PM

[dull shell]

We have internet tv water electricity and even gas

We have everything as normal

[hoary meadow]

thats good to know

which part of ukraine?

[dull shell]

Kyiv

[hoary meadow]

ahhhh i see

[jade summit]

How many are u guys over there???

[hoary meadow]

wishing you lick for these rough days

[karmic ether]

i thought the Ukrainian government would cut it as possible to cut off the live feeds to not give the Russians any intelligence, but i guess being able to have your civilian population show the world what the russians are doing as soon as possible is really useful too

[dull shell]

Didn’t understand question

[karmic ether]

sounds like something a russian spy would say

[hoary meadow]

well the feeds dont seem to be covering too much

[jade summit]

Why would a russian spy ask how many civilians are in a bunker

[hoary meadow]

OSINT has been on ukraines side for the most part too

this also happened a while agohttps://twitter.com/christogrozev/status/1497596359091929096?s=19

Less than an hour ago they already announced, with evidence, that they had taken prisoner a tank battalion commander from the same brigade.. https://t.co/xxulI9UTUB

Speaking of numbers...

[jade summit]

That accurate?

[karmic ether]

look at the disparity between them

[fathom sinew]

As much as can be

[jade summit]

Im confused which side is losing what

[karmic ether]

one side is overplaying the numbers or another is downplaying them or both

[dull shell]

Yeah

[crimson breach]

yeah, probably close

[scarlet elbow]

yeah
damn I feel so bad for russian soldiers, many of them didn't want this but they had to die for it

[crimson breach]

man mobile at plus defensive advantage makes that sort of difference in a modern battle

[jade summit]

So russia got better K/D???

[limber vault]

Kinda old information it was 70+ like yesterday on Ukrainian side

[dull shell]

Worse KD*

[crimson breach]

^^

[scarlet elbow]

and same for ukrainians, just a war out of nothing

[jade summit]

Ohhh ok thats a relief

[dull shell]

Russians mass surrender

[indigo spade]

Not bad lol

[jade summit]

Good i just hope ukrainians treat them right...

[limber vault]

Haven't heard about that

[scarlet elbow]

but some probably fear to do so..

[crimson breach]

@limber vault How you doing man, been able to get some sleep?

[dull shell]

Just Google it. A lot, no, A LOT of Russians surrender

[scarlet elbow]

well they're not terrible people unlike Putin so they probably will

[dull shell]

They have no resources to fight

[scarlet elbow]

that's rather intuitive though, we all hate this war

[dull shell]

There standing Russian tanks outside my friends house because they have no fuel

[karmic ether]

yeah i saw that video with the tank crew out of gas and out of food in the middle of nowhere, and the Ukrainian guy recording it jokenly offering to tow them all the way back to russia
