War in Ukraine. Did the West handle the post Cold War era badly?

@lollydepp: Yes.

Classy.

@uninspiredcup: Well what to expect? The army wasn't providing food by the looks of it.

More sound and fury.

@uninspiredcup: If god is by their side (Russia) then winning over a demon should be simple.

Pictures floating around can't post here, they'd been publicly hanging people in occupied regions. Placards round their neck, hoods on, exactly like the Nazis.

If recall, this was part of a leaked plan sometime back. And correlates with Bucha where the first thing did was seek out people deemed "anti-Russian" and expunge them, including children. The soldiers boozed up to make being a monster easier.

Also obv correlates with state media where the entire point of this insane shit they spout is to turn the populace into monsters.

None of this is new obv, commit crimes from the get go. Just more fuel on the fire.

An evil Nato proxy war country (who just won't leave Russia alone) is cheating by actually giving the Ukrainians competent equipment and proper training.

I have heard Ukraine hit some military targets within Russia now.

@horgen: Yesterday I think.

@kathaariancode: Was it Ukraine or simply Russians sabotaging?

Honestly, I have no idea. That's the kind of thing there's no way of knowing unless both sides have the same version which they never do.

Ukraine has been renewing the old long range soviet drones so they might have used those to reach targets 700km inside of ruzzia. But you never know with orcs, they do love their false flag operations, after all, it's how putin got into power in the first place.

Interesting vid about effect of weather going forward.

Nuclear risk is rising, but we are not mad

Between the Iranian Women (who won Heroes of the Year), Zelensky and Chinese protestors. I have to agree iwth this chioce. Zelensky dominated the media landscape.

"I need ammunition, not a ride", is a line that will go down in history.

Noticed when this was posted the Russian bot farms basically went insane. MAGAS/Z bros as well spamming all the replies.

Wither he deserves it or not, if it pisses them off, hurra.

Dude does deserve it.

Just wondering here. How long is it estimated that Russia can keep this going?

With the support Ukraine has, the storage and manufacturing capacity for weapons should be higher for them, though it does depend on continued support from many nations.

Oof

@horgen: Vid above be interesting to see how winter effects them. Goes into fairly extensive detail. Says it won't stop but basically have a very obv massive effect.

When it's liquid cold (where not everything is entirely frozen) getting drenches in liquids is (remember right) something like 25 times worse on the human bodies heat.

And the Russian troops are dreadfully equipped.

Not gonna feel bad for them though, they are knowingly targeting civilian infrastructure. Any sympathy is right out the window, even ignoring all the horrible shit they've already inflicted.

Betting as well a chunk of those conscripts are the Z bros who were boasting about Europe freezing. Oh dear.

lol

That dude was safer in prison.

Here's some Russian, Anti-Russian propaganda from Russians.

Ukrainians aren't letting up, nor should they. Exactly what Russia wants.

Hmmm

What Putin thinks about his soldiers:

What his soldiers experience:

Started watching it, but it is an hour long... That's long :P

Russia is now claiming the West is Episode 2: Attack Of The Clones

@uninspiredcup: I wonder what the Putin Trolls reaction would be if they realized Russia has one of the highest divorce rates in the world. And One of the Lowest Birth Rates and some of the most unstable families.

That does not exist in their world view.

Kill children. Do you get the punchline?

The guy in the background did.

When you're a kid who's just watched Rambo for the first time.

@uninspiredcup: Better they spend on money stuff like that than weapons and training.

@horgen: He saves farmers as well. Throws spears like a spartin. Incredible stuff.

@uninspiredcup: Lacks big ass explosions.

Dunno if this is worthy of a new Thread, System Wars or if it should be posted here. But... Russia has been extending on the culture wars as what seems to be a distraction from their performance in the Ukraine War. And it seems that among the casualties of this culture war include several video games.

No no no no no no no no no

Rimworld is one of my favorite games and it is so because of a certain modpack. Made by Russians.

I’ll embed it properly later. Russia seems to try to force Ukraine to use up their ammunition by sending meat waves.

Thread:

Ukrainians on front line are now referring to enemy as "meat waves".

100's of Russians are dropped directly on front line, all killed, next day it repeats.

Strategy seems to be an effort to use up Ukrainian ammunition. https://t.co/3v58NAqlwE

Only the Sims 3? What 1, 2 & 4?

They were clearly upset about their political stunt a while back. You know when the Spy Agency brought Sims 3 copies instead of SIM cards.

As far as LGBT representation goes. Sims 4 goes a LOT further.

@horgen: The world moves on, Russians tactics remain the same.

Never point out hypocrisy.

Tactics are clearly accepted by the Russian people.

Peace is no longer an option according to Putin I hear.

Good article.

Oh oh.

Omg are they going to bomb Christmas?

The other Russkis taking it well.

@uninspiredcup: To provide context here.

The Ukrainian government HAS raided churches affiliated with the russian orthodox church. The reason for this is because of allegations of these churches engaging in treasonous behaviour in which they would provide intelligence to Russian officials.

There have also been attempts to target a SPECIFIC orthodox church. This is once again, due to their loyalty to Russia over Ukraine. And much like with the above example, have been hotbeds for treasonous behaviour.

As usual, Tucker Carlsson is taking stories way out of context, to spin half truths. Treasonous behaviour, especially during wartime should NEVER be tolerated by any government seeking to preserve itself.
