Russian invasion of Ukraine

[Makabreska]

It is mainly aimed at western incels and other fringe elements to trigger them into causing more internal strife in western countries.

People tend to overplay the importance of what Putler says to his own people, as the russians will believe whatever he says anyway, and downplay how much of it is aimed at trying to disrupt the rest of the world.

Ye, he was winking at Africa and others in his speech, saying that it was not Russia who had colonies history.

This defo sounds kinky!

I mean...I'm here for our satanist femboy future, personally. Sounds a lot better than the currently predicted futures.

the whole western elites are satanists thing felt like he actually believed it tbh. Nixons 'madman theory' or weird qanon signals. same outcome.

i enjoyed putins speech about russian culture framing it entirely through western culture wars stuff. Top points for calling us femboy satanists or whatever.

American culture really does dominate the world. We have it here in the uk as well. Everytime there is a trans people shouldnt use toilets thing it comes to the uk about 2 months later via our rightwing dipships. Good to see it in Russia as well a truely cultureless country.

If the US and the west are full of “satanist femboys” and they’re currently the ones buttfucking Russia, what does that make Russia?

Which is a flat out lie to just about anyone that's spent more than 5 minutes studying how Siberia came to be a party of Russia.

Well, Siberia ain't Africa.There is a reason so many African countries withheld their condemnation of attacking Ukraine.

[Corvus]

Was...this supposed to be an insult or something?

Because I don't think it will have that effect for many, many people.

Putlers speech would have been met with thunderous applause at a Trump rally.

Seems the Russian troops that were meant to be holding the road open for those in Lyman to retreat along have been surrounded as well. Extra special operation going very special.

Putin just asked US and China's reaction if he nukes Ukraine.
Biden: I don't want World War 3.
China: We are Peace Lovers.

Did Biden and China prevent World War 3 or create it?
So much for the peace lovers.

So the good ole "Let us destroy a country and ruin people's lives, and if you respond to that with hostility, YOU'RE starting the war!" Right out of the fascist playbook.

You and me both, buddy.

reading the interviews with forces around Lyman and they are all like 'i feel sick, bodies everywhere, we forcing them into bottlenecks and are slaughtering them, i saw a Russian step on a mine and he kept saying 'im going home mother' until he died, i slipped over in blood this is horrible....also....send more ammo'

a few thousand of the orcs are trapped in the pocket. they tried a breakout and linked up with some reinforcements who then also got encircled lol.

[XDurionX]

It's really sad to see how hard the russians are trying to enforce the cliché of being gullible, obedient simpletons and freely choosing to be the world's communities' enemy instead of allies. They'd rather cheeringly follow Putin into the abyss then question themselves.

Gunfire was reported on the outskirts of Kreminna at 1am. If true it pushes Lyman even deeper behind the lines.

What seems to have happened is forces from Kreminna tried to push on Lyman to rescue those trapped at Lyman but were turned back and ran into Ukrainian forces near Kreminna at night time. The Ukrainians are generally far better equipped for nightfighting as well. The Russians do have some night vision gear, but due to corruption a lot of it ends up in the hands of American paintball players.

Lyman the new Falaise Pocket?

Setting aside feelings of: "It's their own fault for being there", you can't help but shake your head at the senseless waste here. I mean this sounds like a scared kid.

It helps to remember that that same kid would have laughed about it if he saw the same thing happen to a Ukrainian soldier.

[Corvus]

The Ukrainians are saying there are around five thousand Russians trapped in the Lyman pocket. It'd be the worst disaster of the war for the Russians if true.

That's an assumption, albeit a reasonable one. I still prefer to think that most people, even russians, would not be that callous.

While completely understandable, ryssäviha should not be our guiding principle. I know I'm guilty of it, a week or two ago in Helsinki I ran into a bunch of girls having a hen party, and I felt the hatred rise. Their crime? They spoke russian, that's it, they were polite, didn't make a nuisance of themselves, weren't drunk, all they did was speak russian to eachother and that was enough for me to hate them. As a person of colour I should know better, and I acknowledge my failings there. (That's not to say russian tourists should be allowed to come here for the foreseeable future.)

I mean there is a difference in hating random russians and hating a russian soldier who would have done the exact same thing he is terrified off if he had the chance because he is invading a country.

It is not ryssäviha, it is russorealism stemming from interacting with russians and watching this war from the sidelines. Yes, they are human beings just as you and me, deserving all the same respect.

But just remember; if you get backstabbed by a russian, it is your own fault for giving them the opportunity to do so.

Fkin joke Russia can still sit at UN table and veto stuff.

If there were any doubts before that UN is worthless organization, there shouldn't be anymore.
