Russian invasion of Ukraine

[DarkAmbient]

looking forward to the threads remake tho

lol, at least the special effects will be better. Remember the burning E.T.? That shit is still scary today though.

I know Just think about how worried we are in the Europe so close to the Russia :/

Who are these "we"? Fyi not everyone is hysterical n think the red army is coming, last I checked Poland has basically no minorities, so your issues with Russia is of your own making.

Putin: "We are ready to show you what true de-Communization means to Ukraine."

Also Hitler.

[Gaidax]

Turn off Nord Stream and the only thing that Putin will have from 1917 will be revolution in Moscow.

Nobody will do shit, now that he recognized the breakaways he can just sit there with all the army without doing anything waiting for Ukraine's fuckup, while Ukraine thrashes in convulsions.

He does not even need to invade, can just keep this pressure indefinitely. Then eventually someone fucks up, he gets excuse to rush in and "defend" Donbass, while West will be trying to decide whether this incursion is minor enough to get away with token response and keep sucking on that pipe.

Russia should extend to trans dniestr, make a deal with romania, this way can create lasting peace

You are not even hiding it, are you?
Damn tankies.

The prospect of a Cold War 2 is depressing as fuck. I was a teenager in the 80s and remember how pervasive the existential threat of nuclear war was in the public consciousness and in popular culture. The world really doesn't need that shit again. And yeah, it's a reminder that the notion of human progress is a lie. We don't learn from history; we just re-write it.

We'll have new Fallout games to look forward to and they won't have to be based on the 20th century.

It's shocking that the guy who bombed hospitals in Syria is a warmonger. You never really know people, smh.

Also, East Ukraine doesn't produce oil. All they have is coal mines.

Oh? So y'all don't produce oil and gas, huh?

And so does "NATO has right to invite anyone it wants".

"Inviting a country to join a mutual defense pact is the same thing as violent seizure of their lands by force" is a stupid and bad faith argument.

I agree.

I said East Ukraine, not Ukraine. I see you still haven't gotten it yet. Let me draw you a map.



Funny how all the Putinistas here have exactly one (1) argument to try and justify this nonsense and it's the same argument that domestic abusers use to try and justify beating their spouse and children.

[Ihavewaffles]

Funny how the pro-coup maidanites pretend they didn't see this coming, that's what happens when you you depose democratically elected government, parliament n president

Didn't even take one post. Rofl.

Ukrainians overthrowing a pro-Russian East Ukrainian government does not justify annexation, especially when it was the Ukrainian Parliament that gave Yanukovych the boot under terms of an agreement that was mediated by both the EU and East Ukraine. So you're now down to lying on top of victim blaming.

Stay classy.

Self-deception is powerful. Probably even more powerful when you're on drugs like Zelensky.

Ah, i see, typical American educational failure in geography.

Not just the name, you have even drawn the map wrong - Crimea doesn't belong to Ukraine.

And soon, neither will Donbass.

As far as I'm concerned Ukraine's eastern border stops at the Bering Strait.

[Flarelaine]

Hungary is not "pro-Russia", Orban is pro-autocracy, but those are two distinctly different things, especially if the Russians roll into Ukraine.

Hungarians as a whole are very much not pro-Russian. See Hungary 1848, WW1 and WW2 and 1956. If put up against a wall, Orban will toe the line with NATO.

I can tell you the years of demonising the West are showing, though.

I just can't believe we live in a decade where a country still thinks it can invade another country. I really hope Putin and his supporters find their "victory" as bittersweet as defeat in the aftermath. Fuck Putin and fuck anyone and the trolls who back him.

I don't understand how you can't believe it when you live in a country that's been invading other countries left and right.

Russia should only extend to help brethren if they are under threat, not pick fights where there are no brethren or threats. Poland has basically no minorities n no issues with Russia, no issues but those Poland make up just cuz they are jelly that Russia is the big slavic country n poland will never be that...it's shameful how bitter Polish people are, let them stew in their self-inflicted misery...

So why's it doing it in Ukraine.

And no, habibi, the "we need to invade to protect our minorities living there" is the same shit the Nazis pulled in Czechoslovakia. The only people making shit unsafe for ethnic minorities is you - specifically, anyone who isn't Russian East Ukrainian.
