International Russia/Ukraine Megathread V14

[Rod1]

well for one facing a much larger army is more intimidating.

it's obvious russian weren't expecting ukraine to fight back. they just wanted to intimidate them and get them back to the negotiating table.

of course they didn't factor in kiev comedian total disregard for his people and country and that he's willing to sacrifice them both for his nato bosses

200k troops were intimidating enough and if Russian logistics weren't such a huge load of crap, it would had been more than enough to take Kyiv which they almost did, until they ran out of gas.

Ukraine has had several elections since that coup. Current president was democratically elected.

So even if we agree Yanukovich was ousted in a coup, its irrelevant, Russia had no right to seize any territory at best they should had asked for Ukraine to carry out elections, which they did.

Most funny thing is how Russian shills are crying about Yanukovich puppet .....
Also Putin's stupidity to annex Crimea ...
Because under Poroshenko administration actual deMilitarization of Ukraine continued like under Yanukovich administration.
More than this: being an oligarch with friends from oligarchs circles Poroshenko didn't wanted nor EU nor NATO supervision if to talk about real life.
OK, dreamers allowed to talk and dream, still reality was reality.

However Russian nation is different: you can make them more poor and tell that they are big and great and they will be happy and proud.
Like with this Checnya on Russian taxpayers necks they are happy also about Crimea heavily subsidized from their pockets cos this makes them happy and proud.

The same will be when Putin will tell that they need to rebuild occupied areas, to cede oligarchs mining industry and ...oligarchs will be more , locals in these areas poor like before 2014 the and Kremlin happy + babushkas & co will pay for infrastructure reconstruction .....where oligarchs companies will work and earn profit.
Still will be happy and proud.

Goddamn, i can imagine the job of fpv drone operator comes with some PTSD

Just the low cost and insane effectiveness of these drones means they're going to play a huge part in any future war...
Unless someone comes up with a very effective solution to them.
Which begs the question why we're seeing so little of these in Gaza.
They were beeing used in the initial attack on october 7th, but very little.since then.
When it comes to innovating warfare the IDF is pretty much top notch, so have they found a solution?

You talking about "The Gospel" stuff?
I'm mainly amazed by the lack of drone use by Hamas here. They used a few initially, but somehow there's barely any (apparent) use of them now

It looks like the countries who support Ukraine should not participate and setup a competing event in LA at the new LA venue. Oh and France I am embarrassed as my ancestors came from France.

Jesus christ that video is disturbing. Fucking music.

Most of the effective drone uses ( in terms of the low cost drones in rus / ukr ,) is in open areas / established military lines. Seen very few uses of the cheaper drones in urban / city battlefields, ( mind you I haven't particularly searched for them ) just thinking of all the footage I have seen.

Drones would be far harder to get the same value from in city environments. Plenty of roofs / alcoves alleys tunnels etc .

Looks like that ammo from North Korea wasn't as good as advertised...

Who would've guessed?!?!

Scummy companies making billions and billions on 700 illegal tankers moving Russian oil to India to convert into gasoline.

There sadly looks that a lot of fake info is spread in internet comments and YT channels & comments and telegram etc shit holes about Poland's border situation.
Including by some money earning supposedly pro Ukr oriented YouTubers and commentators.

Sadly Zelensky administration doesn't looks that is thankful for generous help Poland's taxpayers and government had provided and instead are attempting to use Biden's administration and EU to press ( slap in the face ) their best supporters and advocates country in all EU & NATO.

It will not end well for Ukraine, looks that they aren't capable to negotiate with anyone and are thinking that anyone should STFU and might be oppressed by Ukraine and will have duty to bear and cope cos Huelensky thinks so.

Border situation with trailers truck drivers...
1. Trucks with Ukr numbers does have " fast pass " in border control while if you are driver with Poland's numbers you are marinated damn long hours and ukr are smiling and watching.

It is main reason why trade unions in Poland will....you will see....outcome.

2. Ukr cars drivers often delivers payload from Ukr to Germany and in way back to Ukr are taking payloads for transport from Germany to Poland by using demping tactique.

3. Poland's trucks drivers doesn't block military supplies to Ukr or in general supplies TO Ukr ....

While they does want that Ukr will treat them on the border like they are doing with drivers for cars with Ukr numbers....


4. Ukraine recently had received 18 self propelled howitzers from Poland and they are in Ukr and no one had blocked this....

 

[SandisLL]

Next stuff is scandal about grain transit.

Poland never had banned this, more than this, they even removed transit fees....

While for transit for sales outside of EU....EU quality certificates aren't required.....
And....dark businesses are selling part of supposed transit grain under the table ....

This does hurt polish businesses and workers, btw also a lot of Ukrainians are working in Poland's transit and agriculture, warehouses businesses.
From some managers or co overs till casual workers ....


Poland is country who had to bear more expenses than even Germany cos they hosted and are hosting more refugees, also damn a lot of kids and elderly age ppl.

Polish ppl are scared about disrespect and cocky attitude to Poland from Zelensky administration.....
Relationships with first EU and NATO country who had balls to provide heavy weapons and tanks to Ukraine....

Disrespect and total HS bully approach from Kiev administration during all war period ........

Soon will be a lot of talks about Mr Bandera in Poland and unlike Jews in Poland ( most doesn't care about this name ), Poles does know well about famous Mr Bandera.....

 

[SandisLL]

More than this: regardless what surnames will rule something in Poland Ukr attempt to bully them will look like some 105 lber claiming that he will beat 200 lber with long term notice and in the boxing ring.
In term how important these countries are for U.S, U K, Eurozone and SK& Japan ......
Damn delusional Ukraine's government.
.

They should improve ASAP and Mr Zelensky should schedule conversations with Poland's government and businesses immediately and to do this without cocky dreams . ...

Polish trade unions had destroyed USSR hegemony in decision vs Poland.

Now Ukr might get even worse variant: trade unions + businessmans in Poland against Ukraine's regime.

Putin lap dog says Russia is stronger since the war started and plans to end Western 500 year dominance on the world.

Amount of BS being pedaled is really unreal.

"
Russia has become stronger as a result of the conflict in Ukraine - just as it did by defeating Hitler and Napoleon, its foreign minister has claimed.

In a wide-ranging series of assertions, Sergei Lavrov said the "hybrid war" that the West is supposedly waging against Russia is based on "cancel culture".

He also claimed that the West's "500-year domination of the world" is coming to an end.

Israel-Hamas war latest: Mossad 'foils Iranian attack in Cyprus'

Mr Lavrov - who is sanctioned by the UK and the EU - said the West was trying to exhaust Russia in Ukraine.

"It is up to the Ukrainians to recognise how deep they are in the hole where the Americans put them," Mr Lavrov said of the war.

When asked what the chances were of diplomacy to bring about a ceasefire or peace, he said: "You'll have to call Mr Zelenskyy because a year-and-a-half ago he signed a decree prohibiting any negotiations with Putin."

He argued that Russia has become stronger due to the conflict in Ukraine, just as it became stronger by defeating Napoleon and Hitler in the past.

Moscow does not routinely release numbers of its casualties in the war, but Ukraine claims to have killed more than 338,000 Russian personnel since the start of the February 2022 invasion.

Mr Lavrov also spoke about the Israel-Hamas conflict.

The foreign minister said it was not acceptable for Israel to use Hamas's 7 October attacks as justification for the collective punishment of the Palestinian people, and called for international monitoring on the ground in Gaza.

He claimed that Russia has told Israel for many years that the single most dangerous factor in the Middle East is the unresolved status of Palestinian statehood.

As usual every single word out of Lavrovs mouth is a lie… every single word. If he had to tell the truth he would change it just so that he could lie.
