Russian Invasion of Ukraine 2022

[Tiamat]

Let's be honest, it isn't that far out if Putin caught (and survived) a severe case of COVID, given the 'fun' list of problems you're saddled with for the rest of your life makes you wish you were dead or cause brain damage... at least last I've checked.

Having worked in hospitals for the past decade, "on the front line" to so to speak with this pandemic, yeah, pretty familiar with the symptoms unfortunately. I'll admit, it's not completely farfetched, but doesn't make it any less comforting.

I mean, Putin outlined this sort of thing in his Mein Kampf, is currently desperate because he's on a geopolitical deadline, and possibly has brain damage... oh, and he's (and his posse) nostalgic to top it all off.

Captain X, Zachwon, and Marduk; just to name a few. Seriously, they're not exactly secret about their view on this topic; they want America to go to war with Russia to defend Ukraine.

I'm the sort of leftist that still believes in freedom of speech, in individual liberty, and accountability for one's own actions; and I've stuck to those principles, even as the mainstream left embraced authoritarianism. Again, I haven't been secret about this; I joined just after you did, and I've said this many times before.

Zach says things I both agree and disagree with....but unless I missed a mention somewhere, I haven't heard anything from Captain X or Marduk implicitly saying we need to go to war in the Crimea. It's not gonna happen. If Putin starts making moves on Poland and/or the Baltics? All bets are off.

That said, excuse me if that hardly sounds like a right wing mob screaming for war with Russia. Dude, this is a political strawman you've been beating at so many times there's no straw left. Focus your energy something more constructive.

EDIT: If you still insist on being pissed off, then maybe try being pissed off at the Russians who launched the damn invasion in the first place, after months in spite of intel pointing that they were, morons on the left and right kept taunting it wasn't going to happen. Which is all useless past tense now.

I used to check out Colonel Cassad's Site for info on Ukraine, but I stopped paying attention.

East.... West.... None of it matters.

Politicians from both want to fuck us and steal from us.

Fuck them all.

Largely because saying war or invasion will harm your reelection chances (or, in the case of Europe, your heating), and since politicians only care about being reelected...

... you can see the problem.

Israel and Taiwan condemned Russia as well.

Israel condemns Russian invasion of Ukraine as a "violation of world order"

It is a significant change in the Israeli position towards the Russia-Ukraine crisis.

How dare you defy our NEW WORLD ORDER!

They're literally telling the truth by accident.

Putin is gonna tear down the New World Order, right after he tears Ukraine a new asshole.

I agree.

Conservatives in Canada are as useless as a bicycle is for a fish.

Their feeble attempts to oppose Turdeau-Castro have done nothing.

I can't tell if your fanboying over Putin is sarcastic or serious.

We REALLY need a sarcasm indicator for these posts.

EDIT: Be careful when tearing anything down what you replace it with...

Some more unverified Twitter nonsense in this update.... Congratulations... the War is now roughly TWENTY FOUR HOURS OLD!

Seven thousand more US Troops are heading to Europe, 3rd Brigade Combat team of the 4th US Infantry Division.



Four Cargo Airplanes had departed Lviv in Western Ukraine for Poland, likely to replenish military supplies.



The soldiers the woman confronted as posted in earlier in the thread is speculated as to being Spetsnaz or Razvechiki (Army Recon/Scouts). This confrontation took place in Southern Ukraine near Crimea where Russian forces penetrated upwards of sixty kilometers into Ukraine.



As of five hours ago potentially less then half of Russia's in theater combat power has been deployed inside of Ukraine.



Pictures of Ukraine's Chuhuiv Airbase (located in South Central Ukraine IIRC) after a series of missile strikes struck fuel stores and other infrastructure.

Edit: Japan is coming out in Ukraine's defense.

Honerable Samurai did what they thought was right with no concern for personal safety.

My great-great-great grandfather, for example, fought for the Union during the US Civil War.

The Ukrainians are going to die with the hope of thier homeland on thier minds

Sorry to post this again but twitter deleted the posts and account I linked to earlier. Here's the archive on the bioweapons lab theory.

Let's just hope that this remains a theory, although half of what I read sounds a bit logical, and half of it sounds straight like propaganda.

So far, they've been caught flat-footed but gave Russia a bloody nose and things are stabilizing across a frontline.

All from Twitter (except the Reuters link) so take lightly.

More Air Raids over Kyiv with some missile interception going on. Tragically residential apartments were apparently struck by the debris, causing a fire. The missile is reportedly a 'Kalibr' Cruise Missile.



Also shotdown in or near Kyiv, a Ukrainian Su-27 reportedly.



The Ukrainian Government has apparently called upon the Hacker Underground to help defend them from Russian Cyberattacks.

EXCLUSIVE Ukraine calls on hacker underground to defend against Russia

The government of Ukraine is asking for volunteers from the country's hacker underground to help protect critical infrastructure and conduct cyber spying missions against Russian troops, according two people involved in the project.

www.reuters.com

US Aerial Tankers are flying over Eastern Europe and a US Global Hawk is snooping over the Black Sea.



This is a few hours old but here's a reference to the ten thousand automatic rifles being dispensed to urban residents by the Ukraine government.

That is quite worrying. The Russians seem to be treating the civilians well right now but if an insurgency happens than that may stop...

According to secdef Russian armor is now only 20 miles from Kiev,

Ukraine gonna make them bleed.

The head of Roscosmos is threatening to destabilize the International Space Station in response to sanctions... opining what could happen if a five hundred ton space station drops on Europe or the United States (but later also adds China or India) so it doesn't sound so much like a brazen Act of War or Crime Against Humanity he's endorsing.

Russian Space Agency Head Suggests Sanctions May Lead to ISS Plummeting

"If you block cooperation with us, who will save the ISS from an uncontrolled deorbit and fall into the United States or Europe?" Dmitry Rogozin wrote.

Empty threat. No way they'd do it. Even if they tried it would never hit. It'd disintegrate in the atmosphere and/or miss. The ISS is not aerodynamic.

And the dumbest take yet.

At this point, I could blame COVID for my hemorrhoids despite not actually ever having a COVID variant (to my knowledge -- for all I know, I had fucking Delta or Omicron and didn't notice except for feeling a bit off for a few days!).

People who are still trying to blame everything on COVID, or still try to use it as a scare-tactic/fear-mongering tactic, need to just go fucking drink bleach in a ditch somewhere.
