Russia-Ukraine War Political Discussion

[Bacle]

Hey, if they can find ways to use nice cars to scout or to conceal ATGMs in, those cars will be able to put some hurt on the Russians. Or just use the cars as bait for looting Russian soldiers.

After all, Russians may see the car and think it is so nice they want to take it back. And when they try to take it, either they get jumped by Ukrainian SoF, or the thing just explodes and takes the looters out with it.

There might be war going on, but coruptocrats still need the fresh supply of luxury cars

Um those look like regular old upscale SUVs. Like anyone can buy at a local dealership here stateside. Not exactly what I would call cars for the Ultra Rich. Like I thought more Russian shill click bait. And anyone calling for the shelling of his own country needs to be thrown in jail when an active war is going on in the East of the country. And news flash regular trade between Ukraine and other countries is still going on via the land borders. They do make other things for sale to EU countries.

Like literally dozens if not hundreds of SUVs are being donated to Ukraine.

ZOMG Convoys of Luxury SUVs being imported for Billionaires to Joyride around in a warzone instead of the three thousand Abrams tanks Biden promised!!!!1

Putin Please Bomb Us! I'm outraged!

 

[Zachowon]

They look like RAV 4s by Toyota.
Nit really luxury. I mean they are the Toyota midsized SUVs

 

[LordsFire]

And you know, if those are actually luxury SUVs brought in for 'corruptocrats'?

Sure! Bomb them! Russia is pretty bloody short on PGMs that can reach all the way to the western border of Ukraine, feel free to waste them on non-military targets with no civilians inside of them!

I could just as easily see this being a Ukrainian psyop to try to get Russians to waste munitions costing tens of millions of dollars, on cars costing tens of thousands.

My family is friends with a homeless man who lives in a luxury car.

It's a '99 Toyota that's much nicer and much fussier than the '84 Honda I use to go back-and-forth.

Norway "should share gigantic gas and oil profits" from Ukraine war, says Polish PM

"Norway is preying - unintentionally of course, because the war is not its fault - on what is happening in Ukraine," says Mateusz Morawiecki.

Reparations, gibs or compensation?

What’s wrong with that? If a country did not join in the sanctions against Russia they would be called out? Why should a nation profit off this?

It happens plenty of times for a neutral profiteer. The more interesting precedent being set is to force nations that do it to pay up. What will happen?

Norway is part of NATO not exactly neutral.

Norway is part of NATO not exactly neutral.

I doubt that would stop those people in those positions. In fact they may even pork it giving it back.

President Zelensky announces special status to Poles in Ukraine

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky is planning to submit a draft bill to the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine on the status and assistance to Polish citizens in Ukraine, which is similar to the one, which has recently been endorsed by the Sejm of the Republic of Poland in relation to Ukrainians. —...

I'm not sure of the intentions of this. A future merger for a Polish Ukranian Commonwealth?

Doubt it, more like the ground work for a eastern european alliance in the future.

I doubt the ground work for the eastern european alliance but that will hinge upon the actual reality of the war. If it goes the way I think it will go then Poland might slice off Galicia.

I've heard the idea floated elsewhere, and frankly Poland and Ukraine uniting into a large power that stretches from the Baltic to the Black Sea would likely be much stronger then Poland or Ukraine on their own.

Would also give Russia nightmares and royally piss off Putin, but who gives a fuck about what Russia want's anymore; if they didn't have nukes they'd rate behind South Africa as a military power.

I don't give a fuck but I wouldn't mind seeing whatever happens from a distance as the body count keeps piling up not because I enjoy it but because I get to be a witness to a clusterfuck.

That's an old Polish goal, rebuild the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth to counter Russia:

At this point all they can really do is just reannex Galicia, which seems to be the play that will be made once the Donbass front collapses.

To be fair it was a good plan. Unfortantly the Poles live next to germany.

Really that tends to be polands biggest problem being located between the two of them.

I think Putin getting couped out and his replacement(s) offering terms is more likely if the Donbass front collapses.

Putin doesn't really have a replacement waiting in the wings, once he's gone....things will get worse for Russia.

Which generally speaking is how russian history goes.
