International Russia/Ukraine Megathread V11

[Rod1]

He sees everything through the warped lenses of US two-party sectarianism, and equates acknowledging that Ukraine are the good guys and supporting them is a good thing with being pro-Biden and a "progressive liberal".

These people would support the fucking USSR invading the US if a Democrat was president.

Nazi Symbols on Ukraine’s Front Lines Highlight Thorny Issues of History
https://news.yahoo.com/nazi-symbols-ukraine-front-lines-114825778.html


In April, Ukraine’s Defense Ministry posted a photograph on its Twitter account of a soldier wearing a patch featuring a skull and crossbones known as the Totenkopf, or Death’s Head. The specific symbol in the picture was made notorious by a Nazi unit that committed war crimes and guarded concentration camps during World War II.

....

Last month, Ukraine’s state emergency services agency posted on Instagram a photograph of an emergency worker wearing a Black Sun symbol, also known as a Sonnenrad, that appeared in the castle of Heinrich Himmler, the Nazi general and SS director. The Black Sun is popular among neo-Nazis and white supremacists.

and?
Russian soldiers also wear Nazi symbols.
Do you have a problem with that or only when its Ukrainians?

The UAF are pretty much going to not announce anything about the offensive that seems to have started, so most info is gonna be on maps like:

Lmao is if this is even close to true. Imagine spending a year wasting away thousands of guys just to lose it that quickly

 

[SandisLL]

Prigozin confirmed that ukr had some territorial gains in Bakhmut area and blamed russian military troops for this.... like they didn't had been effective or something like this....

It isn't main counter offensive because 0 western tanks and some other stuff had been noticed used in dumbass - luhansk frontline area....

Lmao is if this is even close to true. Imagine spending a year wasting away thousands of guys just to lose it that quickly

Russia turned it into a cauldron.... for their own forces.

 

[Strychnine]

Cooked. Russian tank design leaves much to be desired for crew safety.



Parts factory on fire in Russia...

 

[Strychnine]

70,000 Spetznaz trained troops deployed to Ukraine, Ramzan?

Ok.



That one missile launcher took its shot.

It missed.

 

[SandisLL]

For me funny looks russian propagandists and trolls claims that Russia is fighting vs NATO and EU etc...

In dumbass frontline Ukr didn't had yet used any western produced tank.
Majority of tanks Ukr are using in dumbass are manufactured in 1967-1991 th in USSR.

Gepard " tanks " with their 35 mm autocannons aren't yet used in dumbass.
Like majority of supplied 40 mm L70 autocannons.. these are used to protect critical infrastructure in areas far from frontline because they are cheapest solution how to deal with iranian " motorbikes ".

Trolls are claiming that Putin is fithting vs NATO and EU...damn.

Sanctions send Russia's gas and oil profits plummeting
"Russia's revenue from the sale of oil and gas has decreased by 36 percent in May compared to the same month last year. Sanctions from the West have caused the price of crude oil to fall and gas exports to Europe to decrease. That's what Bloomberg writes.

The sanctions have meant that most marine imports of crude oil and fuel products have been banned. Another factor that has hit the Russian coffers is that the G7 countries introduced a price ceiling on Russian crude oil.

Gas and oil exports account for about a third of the Russian treasury. A treasury that is dwindling more and more as the war in Ukraine continues to bleed money out of the Kremlin's pockets."

The best sanctions on russia for long term are renewables bubble and energo effeciency solutions like buildings renew, trend to project semi passive buildings and so on.

When this war had started, I during first 2 -3 months had opinion that our business will go 404.
While 2022 th we managed to end with some profit because ...heat insulation materials sales were 2,5 X higher than in 2021 th.

Speaking of gas and oil..

Saudi Arabia cutting oil output in move that could raise gas prices

"Saudi Arabia will reduce how much oil it sends to the global economy, taking a unilateral step to prop up the sagging price of crude after two previous cuts to supply by major producing countries in the OPEC+ alliance failed to push oil higher.

The Saudi cut of 1 million barrels per day, to start in July, comes as the other OPEC+ producers agreed in a meeting in Vienna to extend earlier production cuts through next year.

Calling the reduction a "lollipop," Saudi Energy Minister Abdulaziz bin Salman said at a news conference that "we wanted to ice the cake." He said the cut could be extended and that the group "will do whatever is necessary to bring stability to this market."


Saudi Arabia cutting oil output in move that could raise gas prices (msn.com)

This is being done in conjunction WITH Russia to impact the upcoming U.S. Presidential election. We're probably looking at $5 per gallon of gas in the U.S.A. at that time. This is all so that they can get someone in the White House that is more malleable towards their whims.

Choose wisely.

 

[SandisLL]

There's some good news too.
Canada approwed this big oil pipeline project and will gave some warrant for loans ......
Interesting western resource is oilprice.com

 

[SandisLL]

We in europe do know that OPEC together with Russia wants to destroy our economy and society by torturing with high fossil fuel prices.
Therefore all this renewables bubble and energo efficiency solutions bubble and talks about " climate change ".... 10+ years in row we do know this reality.

 

[SandisLL]

Russia's war vs Finland in 1939 th is clear example how Kremlin is valuing humans ....
~ 3 months and USSR had 321000-381000 casualities. Just 1939/1940 winter.
For a land grab attempt.

If Russia didn't had these losses in manpower and technique...most likely Hitler had hestitated to attack USSR in 1941 th cos all this manpower and technique might had been used vs Hitler IF Germany had decided to attack USSR without this war outcome.

 

[SandisLL]

Hitler ofc knew that Kremlin doesn't care about casualities but technique?
There are ~30 sources esay to google up stating USSR lost tanks number in Winter war in range from 1200 tanks till 3400 tanks.

Reports of nine cities in skirmishes by rebels in Russia.

 

[San Marino]

In case you didn’t know why @San Marino bends over backwards to shit on Ukraine while pretending to be a disinterested neutral party, this is it. He sees everything through the warped lenses of US two-party sectarianism, and equates acknowledging that Ukraine are the good guys and supporting them is a good thing with being pro-Biden and a "progressive liberal".

It is nice to know your stupid opinion. Wrong, but still an opinion. Thank you for your support to this thread.

 

[San Marino]

• US Secretary of State Antony Blinken said on June 2 that calls for a ceasefire are unacceptable because they will freeze the current lines in place and enable Putin to consolidate control of occupied areas and prepare for future attacks on Ukraine.

Interesting.
So, Blinken is running the show in Ukraine, not Zelensky. Do the Ukrainians have a voice on anything or is it just the US?
