International Russia/Ukraine Megathread V15

[Devil's_Advocate]

Oh, please!
You just posted a half dozen videos of Ukranian air defense systems taking down Russian missiles. How does Ukraine not have enough air defense systems? What is the EU and the US shipping them? The answer is roughly 15% to 25% of Russian missiles are getting through Ukrainian defenses -- some are even sub-sonic.

You pulled those numbers out of your ass. Rholk has provided a good explanation a page earlier so go read his post.

No, not civilian areas, the Kremlin would do just fine. It may even take Putin out in one of those strikes.
Russia is killing civilians, the US and Great Britain killed thousands of civilians towards the end of WWII (men, women, and children). The list of cities is quite long both in Germany and Japan. If the US can do it, so can Ukraine. Maybe it will bring Putin to the table and an end to this conflict.

Ukrainians care about abiding by the Geneva Conventions and not needlessly killing civilians. I know to a sociopath that's a strange concept. Russia has the most air defense around Kremlin so it's best to save those missiles for better military targets. But you know all this you Russian bot. If Trump backed Ukraine with military support, then Ukraine maybe could consider some limited attacks to test Kremlin's defenses. So far all he did was stop the support and then resume whatever Biden had approved already.

The name of the city is St. Petersburg. Calling it what you want does not make it true now does it? Kind of like your arguments.
A salute to grandpa. You should have followed his example.
The "Great Patriotic War?" Oh mate, you just gave it away. Only Russians and some former Soviet republics refer to WWII by that name. It is irrelevant to our discussion. So, why are you not supporting Russia in this conflict?

I gave away that I am from USSR? Kazakhstan specifically? So technically I am Kazakhstani I guess. Having mentioned it more than once I thought it was well known. My father's side is from Ukraine and his father fought in the great patriotic war. I use this term because I want you to understand what I am saying and the terms to be consistent with what you've learned growing up. Soviet people call this city by both names. No one gives a shit and your fake pearl clutching on the subject is hilarious.

You are surely trolling...this was from a week ago...Russians have stalled pretty much everywhere and even losing ground...

Russia trying to bypass Ukraine's positions in Toretsk by going underground, military says

"Since this is also a priority sector, the Russians are trying to use every chance to bypass Ukrainian troops," said Victor Tregubov, a spokesperson for Ukraine's Khortytsia group of forces.

My ass has a lot of good information:

Assessing Russian Firepower Strikes in Ukraine

Russia launched 11,466 missiles at Ukraine from September 2022–2024, with 83.5 percent intercepted daily. As Moscow escalates attacks, Ukraine's air defense evolves, but continued Western aid is vital for sustaining defense and enabling long-range counterstrikes.

Special Report: Russian Strikes More Effective as Ukraine Exhausts Defenses

The exhaustion of US-provided air defenses resulting from delays in the resumption of US military aid to Ukraine combined with improvements in Russian strike tactics have led to the increasing effectiveness of Russian missile and drone strike strikes against Ukraine without a dramatic increase...

I was right!
So, the whole family was Soviet at one time. Why Ukraine over Russia? Why so much hatred towards Russia if your ancestry was from the Soviet Union?

You are surely trolling...this was from a week ago...Russians have stalled pretty much everywhere and even losing ground...

Wrong!

It's like you revel in writing the most retarded things you can think of. I sincerely hope you're getting paid for your posts or your well being and life depends on these posts.

My dad is actually very pro Russia despite spending most of his childhood in Donetsk and we have lengthy conversations on the subject. Unlike you though he speaks limited English and primarily watches only Russian news so of course he's being misled. You on the other hand have no excuses. It's like you go out of your way to be ignorant. I enjoy playing the devil's advocate myself but not with something so stupid as backing Russia and straight up using their propaganda. That's not being an independent thinker that's just regurgitating Russian misinformation and propaganda. That's just lazy.

I read something I didn’t like and it made me mad. Got it

 

[SandisLL]

Biden administration in 2021 th didn't had accepted offered weapons sales deals for Ukr.
Ukr did not had chance in near future to get accepted in NATO or EU.
Biden's nickname in ukraine is Briben and for Trump in both Ukr and Russia it is Trup.

Russia lost another 300 million plus supersonic bomber and it was not shot down lol.

 

[SandisLL]

Gamblers are facing real life.
Belgium despite had continued F35 deal, didn't had accepted U.S offer to sell Patriot battery.
Between lines: we will sell you very expensive and overpriced stuff and if there will be shit, you will tell that you are happy to earn profits but ..love matushka and fear escalation therefore will take vodka portion with Kremlin and 0 supplies . Even 0 balls to deal with Yemen till today. Loud noise nothing more.
Fear from North Korea is real life. Real fear for U.S lawmakers and Trump.

 

[SandisLL]

Stuff with Yemen is ....
Europe easily might handle Dresden 1945 th stuff with their villages. Even a lot of stuff from Cold War era might be used.

While they does have a lot of population, high unemployment % and low income etc....
So if you will blow up some cells, nothing special, quickly will hire replacement.

Therefore obiviously long term peace in Yemen might be only if occupation forces will be installed. This is stuff european hienas doesn't want to do.....

Army Planners Are Weighing Force Reductions of Up to 90,000 Active-Duty Soldiers​

"The (U.S.) Army is quietly considering a sweeping reduction of up to 90,000 active-duty troops, a move that underscores mounting fiscal pressures at the Pentagon and a broader shift in military strategy away from Europe and counterterrorism, according to three defense officials familiar with the deliberations.

Internal discussions are exploring trimming the force to between 360,000 and 420,000 troops -- down from its current level of roughly 450,000. The potential cuts would mark one of the most dramatic force reductions in years, as military planners aim to reshape the Army from a blunt conventional force into what they hope could be a more agile, specialized instrument better suited for future conflicts. It's unclear whether any cuts are being mulled for the Army Reserve or National Guard."

Putin orders Russian Army to conscript 160,000 more troops​

"In a fresh decree on Monday, Mr Putin said the Russian military would hold a spring conscription with a planned draft size of 160,000 people, up from both last year and 2022.

It comes after he ordered Russia to boost the size of its army to 1.5 million active troops."

Tin foil hat nonsense

 

[San Marino]

It's like you revel in writing the most retarded things you can think of.

Like all the articles that point to what is really happening in Ukraine?

My dad is actually very pro Russia despite spending most of his childhood in Donetsk and we have lengthy conversations on the subject.

So, your father supports the Russian invasion of Ukraine?

It's like you go out of your way to be ignorant.

No, not ignorant, just pointing out truths about this conflict everyone else seems to ignore.
Why is it that Ukraine is always doing well (when they in fact are not) and Russia is doing poorly?

That's not being an independent thinker that's just regurgitating Russian misinformation and propaganda.

What about Ukrainian misinformation and propaganda? You and others are 'locked in' on the fact that Ukraine is doing well and will stop Russia. I think a big disappointment is coming your way by the end of the year.

 

[SandisLL]

Tin foil hat nonsense

It isn't nonsense.
Musk and Co wants to reduce civil perssonel numbers employed by U.S MoD in U.S.

Kusk had achieved historical sales drop for his chinesse teslas in europe.
Chinatown production might be purchased directly from Chinesse businesses without cocky nerd Musk and in general no one cares about his psychosis....

 

[pseto223]

So this channel existed for 11 years. Until 4 months ago, it features 0 military themed videos. It's all random stuff in Russian like "How to disable ad blockers" and "How to properly transfer files from a flash drive to a computer". Then all of a sudden 4 months ago numerous AI-narrated videos start popping up, all of them showing Russia winning.

A really good neutral source of information, you got my props for that.

I don't know what is sadder - that you think you can convert anyone with that pathetic propaganda or that the person who hacked/bought this channel didn't even bother to hide the previously uploaded videos.

I already posted about that. Old news.
You forgot to mention about the 15 new Russian Army Divisions Putin is going to throw at Ukraine this year.

It's unclear whether any cuts are being mulled for the Army Reserve or National Guard."

Why would this affect the National Guard? It is run by each individual state. State funding, not federal funding.

 

[SandisLL]

Putin really had ordered to conscript 160 000 bodies ...
This is ordinary casual mandatory military service as usually for 18-28-30 y.o.

These ofc are not intended to be sent to dumbass ....

However with this Qutin will get some 100 000- 120 000 guys released from their mando service ....

These will get offer to sign pro contract and offer to work for small special operation.
