Russian invasion of Ukraine

[Rasulis]

How many HIMARS launchers have Russia destroyed? Answer: 0.

There have been more details on the shooting at the moblisation camp n Russia from the other day. Looks like the shooters were not mobilised troops after all. Two of the three were sergeants, and were devout muslims who had previously complained against muslims, not being able to pray on time or having access to prayer rooms. The Lt Col in charge said they were fighting a holy war and called allah a coward at which point the Tajikis shot him then started shooting other non-muslims. The death toll may have been much higher than the 11 admitted to by Russia.

Damn Lt Col, someone should have pointed out Allah is the same god as the one he's doing the "holy war" for.

Sounds like the head of the mobilization effort has "killed" himself.

He's doing it for Putler. I don't think Allah and Putler are the same person. Even though, if Mohammed is considered the ideal Muslim by Allah, then he absolutely adores warmongers. So maybe?

Looks like Kyiv is being hit by a lot of Iranian drones this morning. I am sure the skyscraper below was a real big military target. /s Like usual though Russia is so incompetent that they can only cause fear by killing civilians.

So it seems like Russa is not taking only people from western part of it, but quite a few from east:


Drone operator sadly failed 10 ukraine soldiers.

Guess some Russian pilot flew his jet into an apartment building in Yeysk which is in Russia.

^Video of the apartment being on fire.

One less jet to be used against Ukraine is always good in my book.

Guess some Ruskies took too literally "Russia and Ukraine are one nation".

So...are they just letting conscripts with some time spend in Microsoft Flight Simulator get straight into jets or something?

Oh, he actually ejected. Lucky that stuff even worked, you never know in ruZZland.

The west has poured billions of dollars in Ukraine, the energy crisis in EU is basically bankrupting the average person (in Sweden there is talks to turn off electricity during the day, as well as the government warning household owners yearly electricity bill might come up to €10.000). Italy with the new government is probably going to go against Russian sanctions.

Meanwhile Russia is sacrificing old school tanks that cost nothing and peasants from parts of Siberia no one heard of. While the idiots are cheering about Ukraine blowing up tanks from the 1960s where every blown up Ukrainian tank costs 50x to make.
The sanctions are doing nothing, the life in Russia has not changed much (I got many friends in Russia), the new life with sanctions is becoming the new standard, meanwhile us in EU are getting fucked.

I'm pretty sure this was Putin's plan all along.
This is ingenious actually, considering the way he's hurting the west without engaging in a direct confrontation.
You can keep living in a bubble, but sooner or later you will realize that the west is on the losing side. Economically. I'm not cheering for this shit, as I live in the fucking west. The stupidity and incompetence of Sweden is beyond comprehension. The gas they import equals to 13%, which is basically nothing and can be easily replaced.

Bolded the only true thing about what you just said. But I'm sure you know that already.

My brother in Christ Russia's mobilized army has no supplies and next to no training and is resorting to ancient tanks because all their good shit has already been lost or embezzled into uselessness. Ukraine's been punching through Russain lines for weeks, took out the core over-land supply road into Crimea and is pretty much steamrolling the war on NATO's leftovers.

I don't live in Europe or Russia so I can't speak to the quality of life but you can't seriously look at the statistics of the War itself and think Russia's coming out ahead. At this rate even if they *win* they'll be so financially and demographically crippled that holding onto Ukraine will be fuckin' impossible.

So what then? Stop helping Ukraine, let Russia fuck them over and keep threatening west with energy because we don't dare to decouple our economy from the orcs?

Why exactly were they taken captive? Were they call combatants or something?

I don't care if i pay 5% more for energy as long as russian fascists get killed. Besides, everything you said is bullshit.

Also, fuck it, I'm not done ranting:

Russia's suffered such astronomical casualties in terms of both equipment and manpower that it's bordering on comical, like they've had more people taken out of the fight in Ukraine in the last 8 months than the US Suffered in Vietnam over the course of two fucking decades. And what does Russia do when it sees an opening to attack? Go after critical military infrastructure and the many armored columns currently fucking their face? No, they bomb civvies because they're punk ass bitches running a second rate military running on Medieval fear tactics.

Like right now they're just using their shiny new Iranian drones to bomb Kyiv rather than, like, the soldiers attacking their front lines right now. And even then, UA's current and soon-to-be future AA stocks are rendering these terror bombing somehow more functionally useless then they've already been.

And, by all accounts, Europe's been able to stockpile enough gas to render Russia's threats of 'a cold winter' laughable. More so after the Ruskies decided that blowing up their own gas line into Europe, removing that leverage entirely, was a good idea for some nonsensical reason.

Like I know I'm probably wasting my energy getting this riled up by this malarkey but jesus tap dancing christ.

I'd say read the tweet, but it's over a 100 women: 37 Azovstal evacuees, 11 officiers, 85 privates and more. I don't want to dwell too much on the reason why non combat women have been captured by russia.
