general-discussion

[worldly plaza]

since russia is trying to sell its gold reserves and repair whatever relations it has left with Japan and other countries it's got its assets in

[vivid notch]

or resupplying the front

[dull shell]

There are negotiations not with russians, but with Belarus side

[boreal kayak]

oh fuck. will ping be a big issue?

[vivid notch]

nope

[boreal kayak]

ahhh ok

[vivid notch]

just make sure you have clear connection, should be ok

[wet inlet]

It's russian and ukrainians meeting, says on my news alteast

[boreal kayak]

i heard theres VOIP, that would be fun

[hazy bone]

it's russian and ukrain meeting
but on belarus ukraine border

[boreal kayak]

slava ukraini

[dull shell]

Aah, now I understand

[hazy bone]

yep, Russian and ukraine sniper approves this idea

[vivid notch]

nah as if they're ready to go that far

they wont

[worldly plaza]

honestly?

[marsh seal]

yeah this channel has mostly been taken over by talk about the war but #foxhole-discussion and #able-discussion are for game talk only

[hazy bone]

lets hope so

[worldly plaza]

i wouldn't put it past Putin

[boreal kayak]

shits gonna get intense today. yesterday was the calm before the storm

especially with the chechens

[eager mural]

nothing will happen untill meeting ends i guess

[hazy bone]

yep, it's on belarus and ukraine border the peace talk meeting

[vivid notch]

chechens got pushed back but yea i assume they're waiting for the result of the meeting

[worldly plaza]

no, it was a rhetorical "honestly" into "wouldn't put it past Putin [to try to ambush a diplomatic mission]".

[hazy bone]

ahh 👍

[boreal kayak]

the fog of war is making it impossible to get an accurate understanding on whats going on due to misinformation. conflicting accounts on both sides regarding the death of the chechen general

same with the 13 martyrs apparently

most discords i join are also heavily skewed to either pro nato or russia

[dull shell]

Everyone saying Putin will drop nuclear bombs, what can I say, I'm gonna eat something and then maybe sleep.

[boreal kayak]

doubt it

probably cluster bombs or more shelling in residential areas instead

[wet inlet]

I doubt he will, I'm pretty sure there's still some sane people in his military staff that will prevent it

[worldly plaza]

Might be naive but I'm convinced that the actual military staff won't carry out the order to nuke anyone.

[dull shell]

It's already being used

[eager mural]

we should start gather coca-cola bottle caps

[worldly plaza]

There have been such cases during the cold war and I hope-- I just hope.

[boreal kayak]

they have been using it sparingly, probably due to their logistics

[wet inlet]

Sorry they're not selling coke in glass bottles here

I'm gonna be poor

[boreal kayak]

seperatists have also captured some NLAWs from what i heard

[dull shell]

Maybe, but russians massively leaving their tanks and running in the woods

[boreal kayak]

what worries me is the saboteurs

could be friendly fire

there were couple pictures of entire cars and vans getting aired out

idk something feels way off about this war

[scarlet elbow]

geroyam slava

o7

[scarlet elbow]

yeah it's a war between brothers of the same nation, it's wrong on all levels

[rocky dove]

i understand russia is the violent aggressor here but why exactly is ukraine innocent again?

[wet inlet]

https://tenor.com/view/bait-clickbait-thats-bait-gif-13073851

[boreal kayak]

because they are defending their sovereignty. kremlin wants to probably depose their current government

[scarlet elbow]

even despite donbass, what Putin did is way worse

[dull shell]

Because Ukraine didn't started this war?

[boreal kayak]

no side is innocent

[civic jasper]

yikes

[rocky dove]

i know russia is the invader but i wonder why they invade

[boreal kayak]

atrocities happen on both sides.. whether it be ukraine executing chechens point black, shelling DPRK schools or vise versa

[scarlet elbow]

Because Putin

[dull shell]

Its a long story with length of 8 years

[boreal kayak]

Its because they do not want further NATO influence neighboring them

primarily

[unborn frost]

because putin doesn't want a democracy there.. he wants the old soviet union back.. relive the glory days.. ect.. he's insane.

[lyric jungle]

there's a simple reason why it's so...

[eager mural]

he is an anti communist tbh

[civic jasper]

His going one with one last bang

[wet inlet]

Arms nuclear arsenal

[rocky dove]

whatever the reason it cant be worse the the u.s. staging 9.11 and killing desert people for so many years

[lyric jungle]

the reason is de facto Tsar Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin, who believes himself Ukraine to be a bunch of neo-nonoists led by a Jew

[dull shell]

So it will be not USSR 2.0 but PSSR, he want to remain monarchy in Russia

[boreal kayak]

lol lets not open that can of worms

[civic jasper]

his not a Tsar

[lapis ember]

[indigo spade]

He kinda is

[eager mural]

So Mria is dead as Buran, she was designed to carry

[boreal kayak]

its more of an oligarchy

[worldly plaza]

lol come on, it's unrealistic af to go by the life expectancy of an average russian male when dealing with an oligarch.

[scarlet elbow]

not anymore

[civic jasper]

just different form unchecked capitalism

[scarlet elbow]

he ruined his informational autocracy

[boreal kayak]

even putin cant live well if his fellow oligarch friends arent happy

all it takes is a bullet to the head

[worldly plaza]

average rusisan males have little to no access to good timely healthcare. that's why their life expectancy is that low.

that is not anywhere close to Putin's case

[scarlet elbow]

they are very unhappy now

[boreal kayak]

32billion lost i think

due to sanctions... not counting SWIFT

[civic jasper]

do you have a source

[rocky dove]

so basically ukraine is smack in the middle of nato powers and russian federation influence tug of war ggs its like making your home in flood plain

[wet inlet]

So unhappy that one of the Gazprom hightops shot himself yesterday

[lyric jungle]

all we can hope for is that putin unexpectedly dies due to the "mysterious circumstances"

[indigo spade]

Hoi4: just incircle them, duh

[scarlet elbow]

yup, they've became poor when putin was supposed to keep them rich
they won't take it

[scarlet elbow]

lol get rekt

[boreal kayak]

possibility is to put pressure on russians via sanctions

[dull shell]

Bruuuuuuuuuuuuh

[boreal kayak]

we are already isolating russia

[civic jasper]

This is highly unlikely

his been planining this for ages

[lyric jungle]

their economy is already tumbling down

[civic jasper]

if anything his probably stocked whatever he needs

[scarlet elbow]

it's enough though :[

[civic jasper]

the question is how long until ukraine falls now

[boreal kayak]

Russia has a history of uprisings, once the common people have nothing left to lose an uprising will occur

[scarlet elbow]

oligarchs are angry, don't beat up regular people now

[boreal kayak]

The citizens have some responsibility

[scarlet elbow]

and definitely don't try to make sanctions to influence Putin, he doesn't give a shit

[scarlet elbow]

oh it will occur sooner or later if he doesn't go away

the whole country is against him, even the oligarchs, last time this was a thing a revolution started

Unfortunately Indian are the largest foreigners

in ukraine

[scarlet elbow]

but damn sanctions hit hard

[lyric jungle]

It happens during every refugee crisis tbh

chaos, confusion, you know the drill

[civic jasper]

I have a feeling this happened cause of the stand India has taken which is neutral

[boreal kayak]

fuck it im going wardens

[lyric jungle]

correction, they were trying terribly to lean towards Papa Putin

but because Indians cannot into playing all sides at once

historically Russian have helped Indian when US refused to sell arms

So we are chummy withthem

Moreover we are dependant on them for numerous Arm development

Soviet union times

[scarlet elbow]

wardens have s n o w

[lapis ember]

we also have the PPSh

[lyric jungle]

One guy on one forum I am member of on a "India leaning towards Russia at UNSC meeting" thread wrote as such:

"India is like that guy who tries to play both sides and ends up playing themselves. Their "third way" shit went absolutely nowhere, while China's unstated third way actually worked.

This is why no one believes it's worth a permanent UNSC seat. It keeps acting like it's one of the big boys at the table while everybody else rolls their eyes and says "Sure, whatever kid."
"

[lapis ember]

We also have snow in the later stages of the war :)

[scarlet elbow]

not always-

[civic jasper]

Diplomacy is like that

one day their friends the next day their not

you got to be shrewd about it

we always take a non alignment stance

we regard to Afgan WAR. Indian had poured billions to develope it

But what did US do

[lyric jungle]

Ye, US pulled back.

[civic jasper]

is a complete failure

[lyric jungle]

anyways, the entire refugee situation is a mess

[civic jasper]

[dull shell]

They hit city Zhitomir, its near Kyiv

[karmic ether]

"The Iskander has several different conventional warheads, including a cluster munitions warhead, a fuel-air explosive enhanced-blast warhead, a high explosive-fragmentation warhead, an earth penetrator for bunker busting and an electromagnetic pulse device for anti-radar missions. The missile can also carry nuclear warheads."

[modern veldt]

not even 2/3 combat power.

[vivid notch]

ahh i c

[worldly plaza]

=! 2/3 total manpower

[civic jasper]

Thats false

Russian definately hvae more force than 150000

[analog kernel]

hearing that 2/3 of the entire russian army is in ukraine would make me think "well damn that's a lot of empty russian territory right now"

[scarlet elbow]

yes

[modern veldt]

1/10 if not 1/15th of the combat force has mobilised against ukraine.

most of the equipment they brought is outdated, such as the unguided MLRS systems that are obsolette in modern warfare, hence why so many unguided MLRS trucks have been obliderated.

They are trying to get rid of old equipment as soon as possible due the upkeep costs in materials and money. they want to mobilise their more modern equipments once the older ones ran out.

[worldly plaza]

again, 2/3 combat force isn't 2/3 of the country's total combat force.

[scarlet elbow]

we have a lot more potential force, we have forceful army or what is it called - all 18-27 y.o. men are forced to get into army if needed
it's the current russian military mostly from those who wanted to go there by themselves

[worldly plaza]

they're saying that "combat force assembled".

[civic jasper]

They need to modernized the Tsar

and get rid of Putin

[worldly plaza]

meaning they pooled N people, so 2/3 of that N is been deployed.

not 2/3 of the country's entire combat capable (conscriptable) force.

[modern veldt]

So far, with outdated equipment and only around 1/12.5 the strengh of the russian army being used in ukraine, i'd say they did a lot of progress even with extreme lack of modern equipment and only 8.4% of the manpower.

Oh

[worldly plaza]

can confirm, many videos of captured soldiers are either contract soldiers.

[modern veldt]

and i almost forgot.

it happened again..

It would be wise to not underestimate Lukashenko, he's a crook and a crazy fuck but he's not as much of a Russian Puppet as we are sometimes led to believe.

As a friend of mine said, there's a reason he's not president of the Byelorussian Republic of the Russian Federation

or paramilitary/"allied" forces, like chechnya's regiments

Have you ever heard of "the boy who cried wolf", emerald

[scarlet elbow]

damn it sucks

[modern veldt]

Not really.

[fiery sierra]

Emerald sounds like my 70 year old aunt, forwarding all the fake news

[marsh seal]

the new protocol is to lube up every ship that enters the cannel

[modern veldt]

Im only reading up stuff from 4chan.

[fiery sierra]

Read your statement again

[echo anchor]

4chan is a terrible source of intel

[fiery sierra]

literaly the same thing I told my aunt lol

[modern veldt]

i was so hyped for a second evergreen to happen.

[pearl wave]

🤦‍♂️

[modern veldt]

[echo anchor]

I was told that 3.33% of what you see on there is legitimate

[modern veldt]

so there was a 3.33% chance of a second ever green crisis to happen

[worldly plaza]

To clarify, the situation may yet change and this is just the run on the banks since people are lining up to buy USD and withdraw their USD funds.

So it's caused by the demand, I reckon.

There are currency exchanges that will sell USD cheaper than banks like Tinkoff in their app, but they'll be working tomorrow and you'd have to run aorund the city looking to buy USD somewhere. :c

[modern veldt]

Fiat currency is cringe.

[scarlet elbow]

You can still buy/sell USD in Russia? Didn't those sanctions take place immediately?

[worldly plaza]

Yeah, afaik you totally can? There were restrictions against stocks and whatnot though.

But that I don't know much about. :<

[scarlet elbow]

Hm, okay
I hope it will get better eventually, and hopefully soon enough

[modern veldt]

you shouldnt be focused on buying fucking USD

when there is a fucking nuclear readynes happening.

[scarlet elbow]

not like we can prevent it or survive it much

[worldly plaza]

I'm not gonna engage that.

You live in a country that one year ago saw a man set himself on fire (no, this isn't a figure of speech) and the public opinion failed to budge.

[modern veldt]

nuclear war...

[worldly plaza]

If nukes go off, we're all fucked. What's your point?

[scarlet elbow]

Yup

[karmic ether]

well

some of us less fucked than others

[modern veldt]

then the USD we bought was completely useless.

[scarlet elbow]

And worrying more will be ultimately worse

[scarlet elbow]

Well we are totally fucked lol

[karmic ether]

you will just have to live or die, knowing the successor to the entire human race will be new Zealand

[modern veldt]

or argentina.

[worldly plaza]

Yeah, but nukes haven't gone off yet, have they? And so far I need to worry about carrying on, escaping and doing something about what's happening.

[modern veldt]

because currently, only 3 nukes can reach argentina.

[scarlet elbow]

yes

[dense tinsel]

there is no less fucked radioactive destroys everything some faster than others

[karmic ether]

argentina is always on fire even without a nuclear holocaust

[scarlet elbow]

Not really though, a nuclear war will completely wipe out from the face of the earth countries taking place in it, but some will survive

[cinder elm]

At least I’ll die instantly in nuclear fire

Sorry to all the bros who won’t die instantly and will instead slowly rot to radiation

[modern veldt]

i have a bunker

[dense tinsel]

yes but at what cost?

[modern veldt]

[scarlet elbow]

Same, if nuclear war starts - I'm in the distance of immediate vaporization from the nuclear blast so my death will be painless

[modern veldt]

if nuclear war starts... im safe...

[karmic ether]

nuclear war will not happen, putin is using it as a scare tactic now that ukraine is going to negotiations

[scarlet elbow]

The cost is big it's just that there are places which are kinda safe

[modern veldt]

because i live in buttfuck nowhere.

[scarlet elbow]

good for you

[karmic ether]

the simulations go like this assuming it's the US, Russia and China that uses the nukes, the northern hemisphere completely obliterates itself and gets into a nuclear winter, the equator also gets affected, but the affects on the southern hemisphere, mainly south of Capricorn only have to deal with the political effects

[modern veldt]

not really, the backround radiation is heavy here.

[scarlet elbow]

yeah pretty sure it won't, he was threatening people with nuclear bombs before as well

[karmic ether]

also i think the generals arent comfortable with him using it

radiation won't affect you if you are not near the nuking site, the main problem has always been the nuclear winter

probably a coup will happen after negotiations

[cinder elm]

Yeah Russia invested heavily into cope tubes, nuclear cope tubes and underwater cope tubes

[worldly plaza]

Repeating my point from earlier, but same — I just hope that the people in charge of carrying out those orders aren't lunatics.

[karmic ether]

protests might be bigger

[karmic ether]

i think he going full on nuke them mode is like the only thing that can make his generals shoot him in the back

[cinder elm]

For the situation they start to stalemate in a near-peer war

[karmic ether]

they seem to only do major offensives at night

well, now we know that russia sucks at combat warfare

cuz they havent done jackshit yet

[unborn frost]

well that's how it's usually done. fight at night..

[unborn frost]

lol

[indigo spade]

Mean while Volodymyr Zelenskyy: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HbmZrzN3WFE&ab_channel=KvazarA

[limber vault]

Actually it will

[scarlet elbow]

but it will only because of nuclear winter so

[chrome turtle]

If russia nukes everyone, who will they hack?

[scarlet elbow]

hell yeah 95 квартал

[karmic ether]

"yeah bro free for all hoi4 match no pre determined teams"

[limber vault]

No, you'll still receive enough gamma rays to get acute radiation poisoning

[karmic ether]

the war:

[scarlet elbow]

well you will so from nuclear winter

the radiation from nuclear blast sites will transfer to you because of it

via the radioactive dust

[indigo spade]

I forgot about this clip, it played on polish tv few years ago

[limber vault]

It's not as dangerous as long as you don't breath it in, so I highly recommend gasmask

[scarlet elbow]

and as long as you don't have contact with it

[karmic ether]

it depends on the bomb and how far away you are, all the simulations i looked into where no bomb is dropped in the southern hemisphere the implications are always political

[scarlet elbow]

it gets in your eyes - no eyes, gets on your skin - skin cancer

so you need more than a gasmask really

[karmic ether]

and i looked into a lot of them, because of my imperator rome mod

[worldly plaza]

i miss the days when the highlight of my day was blaming paradox for shutting down I:R development.

[scarlet elbow]

F for those who thought radioactive dust was magic snow when chernobyl blew up

[karmic ether]

i still do it

my favourite paradox game unironically

[worldly plaza]

[narrow oak]

Imperator is honestly great

[worldly plaza]

but yeah, i hated pdx for shutting it down.

it's a great game and i loved the bronze age mod.

[karmic ether]

that too

i enjoyed the peace time so much

[modern veldt]

[worldly plaza]

[modern veldt]

[limber vault]

[karmic ether]

[scarlet elbow]

gamma rays can

[worldly plaza]

they had a massive restructuring last year, forming three big boi studios.

and I:R had been performing rather badly even after increased efforts with the feb updates and whatnot.

i can understand the reasons behind their decision to shut it down, but they should've reimbursed the audience in some way. it's not about the money, it's about the bait.

[boreal dock]

its russia media saying it, so expect russia attacking its own forces while dressed up in Ukrainian uniforms, maybe belorussian or I think its even possible in uniform of some NATO country.

putin motherfucker is nuts so he can do all kind of crazy shit

[karmic ether]

saw a post that says "bielorrusian general stops sending forces to ukraine in an act of defiance against russia"

probably fake

[hoary quiver]

Probably

[boreal dock]

belorussians have more thinking people, might not be fake. Or might be fake, but if its not fake, then lukashenko time is really close.

[hoary quiver]

I’ve seen posts saying Belarus was about to declare war on Ukraine, witch is weird since arnt the already at war with Ukraine?

https://twitter.com/the_real_fly/status/1497978709315362816?s=12

[boreal dock]

Is belarus even a country now? or is it just a pupet state?

[hoary quiver]

It’s still a country but only barely

[worldly plaza]

There is one airborne midrank officer speaking out against sending troops, but I'm not sure if there's a general involved. ;o

[icy skiff]

Does anyone know a clan specializing in partisan activities? If so I would appreciate a dm, rarely looking into public chat.

Many thanks in advance.

[unique sorrel]

Part of why Russia doesn’t want this to be declared a war is because then Belarus wouldn’t be able to harbor their troops without officially joining the conflict

But if it’s not an official war either they have less restrictions or no restrictions on harboring troop, not sure

[karmic ether]

thres no way to stop nukes if they lunached an't there?

[karmic ether]

they wont be launched

[misty nimbus]

if he nukes unkraine what would the wolrd nations do?

[tired vale]

Iran is having a redemption arc rn

[gaunt geyser]

Countermeasures, doesn't work 100% of the time tho

[true salmon]

Works very little percent of the time

[misty nimbus]

bit to late to invest into lazers now

kind off works in sci fi movies?

a giant lazer cannon

[gaunt geyser]

No

[misty nimbus]

simple and effective

[true salmon]

Lasers have issues in atmosphere

[tired vale]

Depends on how they're delivered, but if Russians use those supersonic missiles they're known for there isn't much chance to intercept them

[gaunt geyser]

Its a missile that has to hit the nuke iirc

[misty nimbus]

i mean like if world scnisists make a new advanced lazer weapon system

to counter missles

[gaunt geyser]

So complicated math for navigation

[tired vale]

No, those are used irl, but only against drones

[misty nimbus]

i mean like real lazers

[tired vale]

Yes

[gaunt geyser]

Lasers kinda suck

They just heat stuff up and damage cameras, not of much use on a missile going super fast

[tired vale]

They can overheat internal components like batteries or engines but again, only really good against drones

Missiles tend to use GPS targeting and internal electronics for guidance and no vulnerable external sensors

[gaunt geyser]

The missile knows where it is because it knows where it isn't

[tired vale]

oh no

[grizzled void]

By subtracting where it is from where it isn't, or where it isn't from where it is (whichever is greater), it obtains a difference, or deviation.

[unique sorrel]

If we had little fusion cells like in fallout maybe they could do something but right now the power draw is just too high

[tired vale]

https://youtu.be/sbjXXRfwrHg But yeah, lasers do work, they're great at doing their job, but shooting down missiles isn't really their job just yet. Although Israel is building some just for that purpose

[unique sorrel]

They do have a minor incentive to do that yes

[tired vale]

A lot more reliable than the existing Iron Dome, although that's already pretty good

But unless there's a storm or whatever a laser should reliably destroy any drone or small missile within its range

[hoary quiver]

Isn’t laser weaponry still experimental?

[eager mural]

soviets even built laser tank i believe

[crimson breach]

Anti icbm weapons are very infective in general, be it lasers or abm missiles. The other thing is, if they started nuking Europe or Eastern Europe to be precise, they would start off by using tactical nukes which are basically indistinguishable from regular weaponry

Ie:bomb or cruise missiles

[misty nimbus]

smaller nukes?

[crimson breach]

Yes

[misty nimbus]

but still very fucked for cities

[crimson breach]

Still very deadly, but more « limited option «

Yes very much a city killer

But if they did so, they would probably be crossing a line the same way they crossed a line by invading Ukraine

[tired vale]

It's in the working prototype stage

[crimson breach]

There would be no turning back and nuclear response from nato would be a serious discussion

[hoary quiver]

Ooo nice

[boreal dock]

Its like having shoulder fire artilery piece.

[misty nimbus]

you know its almost like putins generals is screwing with logestics

[tired vale]

Pretty much lol

[crimson breach]

Yeah this, exactly^^

[tired vale]

According to official sources, the Ukrainian army blew up all railway connections between Russia and Ukraine, which was their main planned form of supply

[misty nimbus]

wiat what

[boreal dock]

AP HE APHE dualcharge shel AP shels, anti personal shels, ilumination shels, smoke shels. Deam it nice piece to have xD

[misty nimbus]

thats huge

[tired vale]

It is

Now they need aircraft (very unsafe) or trucks (very expensive and impractical) to move around all their supplies

[crimson breach]

Yeah, it’s so flipping useful in all environment and so long range too!

[misty nimbus]

but still they can use truks for ammo and fual they got many

[boreal dock]

tank up to 300m to 400m, but you can shoot up to 1km for HE and antipersonal shels.

[tired vale]

Thing is, trucks don't really have enough range to go from the regular border to the frontline in some cases without having to include extra fuel trucks in the convoy

[crimson breach]

Yeah, but issue is trucks are very difficult compared to planes or trains to bring shear amount and so much more vulnerable

[crimson breach]

This too^^

[boreal dock]

T-55 used up to 300l of disel for 100km drive.

[tired vale]

I'd assume the modern tanks use a lot less but still a lot

[boreal dock]

Bessides russian trucks are known to be thirty ones

[tired vale]

And there's already confirmed sources that Russians already can't supply fuel to the frontline

You can easily find videos of APCs and tanks just stuck on highways

[boreal dock]

javelin, fuck yee xD

[tired vale]

I'd assume they're already using trucks because Ukraine has way too much air defence to move supplies around in planes

[lofty ore]

that's a NLAW

[boreal dock]

is it?

might be

[tired vale]

Oh yeah those are officially being supplied too so it could be

101st is important for the US military cause they were the main ones airdropped during dday, fought at the battle of the bulge, and then reached the capital iirc

[north aspen]

I doubt putin will
Just about everyone knows that if WWIII starts, NATO would crush Russia, and in such a scenario it looks like China would be neutral
The only thing Russia has going for it atm is nuclear weapons

[alpine vessel]

Yeah they got send to poland

[cunning owl]

Sending them has a lot of symbolic meaning too

[bitter stump]

Mfw that's fake

[north aspen]

82nd
My mind is blanking as to what they did
But they're also important iir

[hoary quiver]

They were the other American airborne division to drop on Dday

[unique sorrel]

There’s a Sabaton song called 82nd all the way or something so they’re probably big

[north aspen]

Yeah
That's from WWI
Right
That one guy who did things

[hoary quiver]

They fought in Market Garden and the battle of the Buldge

[fiery sierra]

the problem is there is a no-win situation. Putin may rather use the nukes than to lose power, he knows that if he loses power he will end up either dead or being prosecuted for war crimes

[alpine vessel]

Yep

Nothing to lose

[unique sorrel]

He only loses power if we invade him, not necessarily if we kick him out of Ukraine

[north aspen]

Yes
So Putin needs to not touch NATO

[hoary quiver]

That’s a song about them in WW1, they were still a regular non important infantry unit back then

[bitter stump]

He should just go out like the Serbian, drink poison in the court room

[raw leaf]

It is undertandable, with the ampunt of javelins and foregin equipment. War is always the same but it is evolving (like pokemon)

[cunning owl]

82nd dropped during dday too

Oh someone already said that lol

This video is from yesterdat

Also the reason why it’s important that the 101st is in Poland is because the 101st are currently our only Division that Specifically does helicopter assault, so if we do decide to send troops into Ukraine it would probably be them sent in first

[fiery sierra]

Losing the war in ukraine would make him look weak if its done just by ukraine

They mean more like complete loss of power over Russia, I think

Well, he is probably going to run into a "misshap" by ingesting poison in russian gulag

[fiery sierra]

you mean the surround or that kyiv wont last?

[boreal dock]

russians sorounding Kyiv

[north aspen]

The goal is to stop the Russians from getting to him, yeah

[alpine vessel]

Ukrainian president you mean?

[unique sorrel]

Do the Russians have to respect embassies in Ukraine from other countries as normal embassies?

Or are they just regular buildings

[north aspen]

Mhm

[fiery sierra]

Yes, they have to respect them

[alpine vessel]

No every ambassy is a piece of a country so if you attack it, you basicly attack a country

[fiery sierra]

embassies are considered sovereign territory of their nations

[unique sorrel]

Then I think he still has one or two places to go if shit gets rough

[fiery sierra]

they would just encircle the embassy until they starve them out

[limber vault]

I mean, they got presidential detachment and also when I was enlisting they were signing every elite like paratrooper, recon etc from reservists to reinforce them

[indigo spade]

Sad, and funny how stupid Russia is

[limber vault]

Anything about shooting in Kiev?

[tired vale]

That seems to correspond to what we've heard so far.
Recruits were sent to the border for "exercises", only then found out they'll be invading a country and have no choice

[alpine vessel]

How r u bro

[dull shell]

Silent. There’s info they will try to bomb ballistic rockets at Kyiv

[alpine vessel]

I saw videos of heavy fighting in suburbs

[fading dove]

Someone claimed Kiev is surrounded. True or fake?

[fiery sierra]

It was the mayor aparently, he probably just means the roads are no longer safe

[limber vault]

We have seen quite a few jets, couldn't shut them down unfortunately

[dull shell]

True sadly

[tired vale]

Based on reports from liveuamap it looks surrounded

[dull shell]

I believe in our AA

[alpine vessel]

Not entirely I think their mostly still from the direction of Chernobyl

[dull shell]

We have air raid non stop

[tired vale]

They went around the west side of Kyjv to the south to cut it off completely

[limber vault]

Seems like they really want to achieve absolute air superiority over Kiev

[dull shell]

My friend from Kyiv outskirts saying Russian forces shooting down every civilian car

[vestal marlin]

People are saying Kyiv is encircled, is this true?

[alpine vessel]

Just alot of fighting there's alot of video

[limber vault]

Can't say for sure...

[dull shell]

Nah, it’s true, Russians doesn’t care killing civilians all around Ukraine

[limber vault]

If Kiev is indeed encircled I expect my company to move out tomorrow

[dull shell]

Klichko said it’s encircled, so

[alpine vessel]

I don't believe that nothing the news or videos of that like don't hear anything about that, not even reports of it. Most of it is accidents or crossfire

[dull shell]

You can believe everything you want, I’m just saying facts that Russians kill every civilian that tries to leave the city. Google Tavriysk, Kherson region

[alpine vessel]

I also see alot of videos of people literally driving trough tank battles

[tired vale]

Well, if that's true then that's the first time I've heard of them actually going out of their way to shoot at civilians. Before it was just incompetence or a few select cases of shooting journalists (which is still horrible but small-scale)

[alpine vessel]

Same

[dull shell]

They started shooting civilians like on the second day of the war. You guys there have really low info about their war crimes

[alpine vessel]

I'm not saying hese wrong it's just biased since hese Ukrainian and hates Russians prob

[dull shell]

Just don’t say you didn’t hear they’re bombed orphanage

[alpine vessel]

No that's not true we hear about them just not that they shoot every civilian :I

[tired vale]

I've seen a lot of cases of hospitals and kindergartens and other places being hit by artillery fire, but so far everything was deemed just incompetence

oh fuck

[alpine vessel]

Exactly

[dull shell]

lol, you have zero info there. Russians killing a lot of civilians. Whole village near Mariupol bombed down, approx. 20 dead

Google Sartana

[limber vault]

True, mostly it's civilians trolling Russians instead

[alpine vessel]

Yeah I know, but as I said their not actively gunning down civilians like that COD mission

[tired vale]

Mariupol is effectively under siege, I can see why those could be accidental deaths although I wouldn't be surprised at all if they weren't

[dull shell]

Of course not like COD missions, bruh. They’re just shooting down everyone they see, and everyone is just sitting at home

[alpine vessel]

You have way better words then I have I'll just let you talk

[limber vault]

Didn't know EU had defcon as well

[crimson breach]

Yeah

[alpine vessel]

So "actively gunning down poeple" it's war theyr sieging ofcourse it's going to land on Houses

[hazy bone]

i didnt know this too as well
does eu has one?
if not ill delete it

[crimson breach]

It’s mostly a, when should the Americans, British and French start launching countdown

Coordination

[tired vale]

It's not "EU", it's America's European Command

[limber vault]

No idea, all I know is that defcon is US concept

[fading dove]

Russians murdered a family in a ditch yesterday. its on reddit and videotaped. They left one of the german shepherds alive

[tired vale]

I'd assume USA's European Command closely cooperates with European militaries so it's probably close enough

[crimson breach]

It’s nato, so isn’t it international and not National ?

[alpine vessel]

I thought defcon was just global nuclear war threat

[crimson breach]

(Might be wrong on my end)

I think it’s supposed to be a nuclear force ready ness level

Like, launch missiles in 10 mins vs 30 or something

[tired vale]

This seems accureate

[hazy bone]

i think this is not the government one and uncomfirmed its news reliability soo ill be deleting it 🙏

[hoary quiver]

If we are talking about war crimes I’ve seen a video we’re the Russians straight up Executed a Ukraine Citizen and one of their soldiers trying to defend her

[real vault]

DEFCON is US military only. The linked website is some private analysis organization. Any govt would not share this kind of info.

[crimson breach]

[quiet mango]

Actually it does if they are being used to defend against Russia. Russia said it before, anyone directly involving in their war against Ukraine will be dealth on high priority by them.

[fickle cliff]

If ww3 breaks out, and we push into Russia

Putin might actually off himself in a bunker instead of allowing g himself to be captured

[fiery sierra]

If so what specifically did they say? last info is that they are being deployed to poland. That doesnt mean they are going into ukraine

[crimson breach]

This is bat crap crazy

[fiery sierra]

and a footsoldier isnt told of something like that anyways until last moment

[fickle cliff]

Checked back

[north aspen]

Well yeah
I suppose I could've inferred that the troops were going to be deployed to the frontlines
But when I hear about US troops being deployed to Ukraine my first thought is that they are staying away from the frontlines
