Russian invasion of Ukraine

[PhaelixWW]

Considering China and Hungary are Russia’s allies, it’s not surprising they express such sentiments.

I don’t doubt they will sow the seeds of disinformation that illustrates Ukraine is atrociously attacking Russia.

Information that only Russia's allies would pretend to believe.

So who cares?

Plenty of gullible or senile people out there that aren’t just Russian allies.

Refer to the Hamas sympathizers over Israel’s brutal retaliation to October 7th for example.

The situation in Israel is infinitely more complicated. Without getting too deeply into it (because this is not the right thread), both Israel and Palestine have a long history of doing terrible, shitty things to each others' citizens. There's plenty of room to interpret one side or the other as being in the right, to varying degrees (this is a gross oversimplification, obviously, but it's enough for my point here).

That's not the case with Russia and Ukraine, where the former unambiguously attacked the latter entirely unprovoked, and indeed has a history of doing so.

The comparisons you make continue to be incredibly shitty and I am begging you to understand that you know far less about international politics than you think you do.

I'm sorry, fuckin' what? Atrociously? On a scale of 1 to 10 on the "how grossly overblown is this" I rate this an 88. Russia has been targeting schools, malls, hospitals and more and you're going to say that the AGGRESSOR is being "atrociously attacked" when the people they are trying to completely wipe out is attacking back? Are you fucking insane?

Seriously, get help.

That wasn't a statement... that's what he thinks China and Hungary (and Russia of course) are going to paint it as.

[Jessicka]

You hear that, Yuppers? Are you taking your cues from Xi and Orban now?

Xi's concern's are how many more DJI drones he can flog to both sides, and how much more of a discount he can get on his oil. He doesn't want to join in, China plays the long game and in that, a weakened Russia is in China's interests.

I'm still rooting for little green men popping up in far east Siberia and organizing referendums on joining China.

Guys, you remember how back in 2014 Shillcker claimed that the little green men in Crimea had bought their gear from airsoft gear vendors, and then in 2022 Russia couldn't equip all of their troops properly because the people in charge of stockpiles had sold all the gear to airsoft vendors?

*sigh*

I miss that cunt like you wouldn't believe. He at least was sober while shit posting. Dunking on Yuppie just doesn't feel right.

[Doomcookie]

THINK OF how different it is right now. Ukraine was fighting a purely defensive war before, enough to allow Russian civilians to unironically believe there was no war. Now he's saying the war is coming to their doorstep. You know that basically means there are no pretenses anymore, loose restraints.

And today when the Democrats in the US were asked about how they feel about Zelenksy's statement? They did not, unlike the Republicans, say it's a bad thing. A senator was quote on quote stated as saying.

"Putin started this. Kick his ass!"

I'M NOT MAKING THAT UP

You have stated how much you love strong and many men. Since Putin now looks weak, does that mean your fascination with him is finally waning, and you'll now praise Zelensky for how masculine he is?Or, are you just going to keep fearmongering about nuclear war?

Does that mean you are working for China?

That explains a great deal.

Why do you want China to nuke everyone?

Somewhat unrelated to the "kick his ass" speech yesterday on TV, the US has made a full disclosure on their opinion of the Kursk invasion. It's similarly completely apathetic and unsympathetic.

Commenting on the Kremlin's statements that the West is confronting Russia in Kursk, Kirby said: "[T]his is a funny bit of Putin propaganda here, and he’s been clinging to it since the beginning of the war: that he had to go into Ukraine, NATO is surrounding him, and that NATO support and U.S. support for Ukraine just proves it’s the West versus Russia; it’s NATO versus Russia; it’s the U.S. versus Russia. And it’s all a bunch of horse-hockey. There’s nothing to it. "

The official emphasized that the only ones who are at war with Ukraine are the Russians themselves, who continue their illegal invasion, while Ukraine defends itself against their aggression.

"This is Russia’s war of aggression against Ukraine, pure and simple. Always has been since the beginning.," Kirby emphasized.

He noted that the U.S. administration is in close touch with Ukraine’s officials, refusing to offer any comments on Ukraine’s raid in Kursk region, forwarding all questions on this matter to the Ukrainian side.

"This is Putin’s war against Russia. And if he doesn’t like it, if it’s making him a little uncomfortable, then there’s an easy solution: He can just get the hell out of Ukraine and call it a day," Kirby said.

As Ukrinform reported, American Senator Lindsey Graham believes the Ukrainian operation in the Kursk region is "bold" and "brilliant".

Why do you want us to feel sorry for the government that invaded a country for now good reason, and is now dealing with the consequences of their actions?

[YUPPIE]

Not to the government but the civilians running around screaming like headless chickens as they’re hastily evacuated or simply running off to parts unknown. This is a war after all, it’s not entirely black and white and the little chicks get caught up in the crossfire.

Where was that concern when Russia was bombing hospitals?

But only apparently Russian chicks. Since ya know, Russia has been actively bombing Ukranian civilians this whole time.

oh no, the war russia has been prosecuting in ukraine is coming home and it's more than just the russians vacationing in crimea that are realizing this.

i'm sure the russian people will make do, they always do.

it's still pretty black and white though.

[Gabriel]

Okay, who got erased? The thread's fucked.

[alach]

10 bucks on Putin evacuating those people so quickly cause he's worried they will switch sides and welcome the Ukrainians as heroes.
He's never shown much concern before.

war is on his doorstep now and it clearly intends to stay.

On a strategic note, Russia is now apparently pulling an undisclosed number of troops stationed in Ukraine to Russia to fight this incursion. Can Ukraine hold out if Russia just does the ol' zerg rush/by numbers assault?

Why don't you game it out in Starcraft and let us know how it goes?

Russia hasn’t been able to ‘Zerg rush’ for at least the last two years.
