International Russia/Ukraine Megathread V8

[Strychnine]

From what i understand their equipment at start of war was still fairly soviet but what they changed during modernization that they went through was that training was upped to "nato standard" no more soviet era stuff

Like combat med vid here is straight up same as what i was taught back in day. (Guy in vid runs everything by the book )



But this is just my 2 cents, might be completely wrong

From my eyes (retired USAF Pharmacy/Medical), this was legit and to the NATO standard. I'm impressed! Factor in that the medic is in a hot zone and is providing care at quick pace while maintaining sterility of the bandages, applying them, the splint, the tourniquet, and checking for exit wounds?

Amazing job.

So he had his daughter killed? Oh the irony of you all bitching about me questioning sources lol.

Yeah that's a pretty out there CT.

On a side note this is interesting how the war has effected people in Ukraine.

5:00 when dinner is served is the best view if you stick with it. Cute girl.

Our attempt to empire build in the middle east has cost us $8T and rising, that's not even considering all the veterans pensions that we will be paying for decades, loss of life, refugee crisis etc.

Yeah, that's chump change when you're talking the current scale of geo politics and warfare.

We've spent way more on conflicts of far less importance with way worse results.

Here we have the opportunity to humiliate Putin and Russia, continue to demonstrate to the world our technology superiority, and begin to future proof our existing weapon systems without risking a single American life. Not to mention all the American jobs it will both create and safeguard in the arms industry.

It's a bargain really especially when considering this is mostly lead lease stuff and not just gifts.

Not to mention we're not going to commit $5T to the conflict over the next 10 years, let alone the next 5.

This is all lend lease as well so when everything is said and done, assuming we're all here, Ukraine is going to be both morally and financially indebted to the west, bringing them even closer to our markets and way of life which is all they really wanted to begin with.

Nice posts. Do you even pretend to be the “good guys” anymore?

You sound worse than hawkish George Bush supporters circa 2003.

Source?

That one boogles my mind too...

Especially since a Russian group actually have taken responsibility for it.
I posted about it with sources a few pages back.

He's an interesting character for sure. It's not the first bizarre claim he's made either

Kind of wish my thread about NPR being Putin controlled media wasn’t removed. But I guess Bloomberg is also. Urging all US citizens in Kiev to leave



Obviously, newsmax is right wing news, likely Russian controlled and far right domestic terrorists propaganda



but surely, we can trust the Us embassy official site



Which is exactly why our weekly tribute now needs to be at least 3 billion



keep in mind, how even CBS reports on how 70% of arms are unaccounted for, sold, to bad people. It is ridiculous

Meanwhile CBS corrected this because they were attacked for not supporting Ukraine as they should

Russia bombing civilians isn't really something called propaganda

US support for sending in aid still high after almost 6 months <45>

A little concern by South Korea over the sh$t show in Ukraine.

So much for Russian hypersonic cruise missiles in the future they cannot outrun a laser and this laser can be put on aircraft and war ships. The ability to remove a danger on the battlefield is a big deal this is one step in the right direction. This is a strong message to Russia with their talks about attacking nuclear power plants in retaliation for aiding Ukraine.

 

[Fox by the Sea]

there's a settlement called New York close to the frontline? or what is that>?

Already out of date. Russia has actually recently advanced in the region

Very interested to hear, please share the news source.

China really loves cheap oil they are licking Putin's balls.

I heard China and India are getting $39 a barrel discounts on Russian oil. They are taking full advantage of the fact that Russia has lost most of it's market. So who is really licking who's balls?

Best description I've ever heard of the reason why Russia started this war against Ukraine. Given by a man murdered for saying it.

It was obvious. Ukraine can never be allowed to succeed as part of or even working in close concert with the EU. They are simply too alike and too close to Russia. Putin knows that if Ukraine flourishes nearly every Russian citizen will be thinking why can't we have some of that too?

They simply can't allow their ukrainian brothers to try and apply the Poland model. It would mean the end of the corrupt to the core authoritarian regime in Moscow. Bomb Ukraine into the middle age and use the external enemies card to fool your people into silence. Destroy the lives and economy of the people in both sides with war only to have the 'elite' thugs secure in their fancy armchairs. What is fantastic, is the unexpected response they got so far. That has put uncertainty in the well being of their rich asses. As long as ukrainians are able to counter punch, Maidan for the old farts in Kremlin is inevitable.

nice, thanks. didn't know about this.

First Russia invades Georgia, now New York!

And if that city is New York, named after York.. wouldn't that make U.S. New York, New New York? Or Newer New York?
