Ukraine Russia War

[PariaMan]

Any direct war between Russia, China, and the USA will be like a World War with its accompanying repercussions regardless of the involvement of the global south.

[Dohplaydat]

There will be no world war.

The Global South is going to watch this one out.

^^ maj.tom: Another world war is one I do not want to see.

All the signs are there because history repeats itself. Exactly what is happening now, happened pre WW1 and WW2.

But we will never learn.

Won't bet on that at all......

Nato gearsing up for 90k troop military exercise.

Russia is just under 1m army and aiming for 1.4m.


Ukraine was nato best army, training since 2014. They just admitted to 500k losses.


I want to think us letting Migrants come in, cause they will offer them greeen cards after serving.




Russia is being very limited against Ukraine.
Nato cannot fend against a full throttle Russia.


America and uk getting pressure from yemen... Who had been bombed by Saudi and us for the last decade.




Any action on Russia would be a European war, with global economic ripples. Africa, India, China, oceana would remain nearly untouched.






But, nato might start it to pull attention away from Israel to let them take all the land.

Turkiye, Iran, yemen, Iraq, Pakistan, may not let that happen.
Us might stop them? Us would be tied up with their 90k nato army battling Russian 1.4m army.

US approves F-16 fighter jet sale to Turkey, F-35s to Greece after Turkey OKs Sweden's entry to NATO

The Biden administration has approved the sale of F-16 fighters jets to Turkey following the Turkish government's ratification this week of Sweden's membership in NATO.

And to think that there would ever be any reason to cause Sweden to abandon more than 200 years of neutrality.

[sMASH]

Give Sweden a few years to see how much of a waste nato is.
They are level headed, can have rational discussions with them

Zaluzhnyi (Chief of the military) and president Zelenskyy battling right now. Zelenskyy supposedly asking for Zaluzhnyi to resign who then refused.

Not sure what's the internal beef about, but cracks showing in Ukrainians government and military now.

A Ukrainian drone attack on a Russian missile corvette Ivanovets appears to have caused a massive explosion in Kyiv’s largest strike against Russia’s navy in months.

The Ukrainian Defense Intelligence Directorate (GUR) has released footage capturing the destruction of the Russian Tarantul-III class missile corvette Ivanovets of the Black Sea Fleet at anchor in Donuzlav Lake in Crimea.

“This operation became possible with the support of the Ministry of Digital Transformation of Ukraine and the United24 platform. The enemy’s vessel was stationed in Donuzlav Lake in temporarily occupied Crimea. As a result of multiple direct hits to the Russian ship’s hull, it sustained damages incompatible with further navigation – Ivanovets listed aft and sank,” stated GUR.

Two of them have different ideas of how to move forward.
As long as elenski can keep money flowing in, he will get to sit in the chair defending western democracy

Another day another loss for Russia's navy to a country that lacks a navy.
Putinistas most affected

Ukraine claims it has now disabled a third of Russia’s Black Sea Fleet after its military intelligence said it sank another Russian warship in a sea drone attack off the coast of Crimea on Wednesday.

Russia’s landing ship Caesar Kunikov was attacked with “MAGURA” V5 drones that punctured “critical holes” on its left side before sinking, the Ukrainian military intelligence agency said on Telegram.

“Ukraine has disabled a third of the Russian Black Sea Fleet during the large-scale invasion,” the country’s armed forces told CNN after Wednesday’s attack

Brb, Waiting on the crimean resistance to rise up snd join their Ukrainian forces.


Look out for Odessa. Adievka is lost.

[Dohplaydat]

Avdeevka is basically lost. Russia has the city surrounded and UAF can't escape

Ukraine seems to be doing just fine wiping out the Crimean based Black Sea fleet without partisans from the peninsula.

"Adievka is lost!!!"

"Out of 4,000 people, a brigade, 30% remain".
Russian soldiers film the battlefield just east of Krasnohorivka, to the northeast of Avdiivka -
"Corpses everywhere. They're all ours."
"There's war, but this... it was a meatgrinder here."

Battle for Avdiivka: AFU defense collapses in the south and breakthrough in the east
Situation as of 21:00, February 15, 2024

Over the past three hours, there have been significant developments near Avdeevka. Along with the news of capturing part of the air defense and the Zenit fortified area, there is also positive news from the eastern flank.

Despite conflicting reports from the former anti-aircraft area, units of the 1st Slaviansk Brigade can be seen in a published video remaining calm and unafraid of shots. This suggests that the unit has either already been cleared or will be cleared soon. The defense of the unit was held by an incomplete enemy company.

The AFU is also retreating in the area of the ill-fated Donetsk filtration station to the neighboring hedgerows west of the N-20 highway. However, they are unlikely to stay there for long, given the advance of the Russian Armed Forces along the sand pit.

Our team has located a Russian fighter placing a flag near the entrance to AKHZ. The Russian Armed Forces have gained control over the territory adjacent to the industrial zone and several administrative buildings, including the fortified area "Brevno".

This became possible after assault troops, with aviation cover, secured a foothold at the Avdeevskaya motor depot and advanced northwest towards the plant management building through the Alter Group. The fire station and cafeteria are currently in the gray zone.

Despite the obvious successes, the Russian Army still needs to capture the Cheburashka fortified area. However, the advancement of the Vinogradniki-2 gardening partnership in the area can make this task easier. The same applies to the north: the building of the Avdeevsky Coke and Chemical Plant is one large fortified area with many shelters, which cannot be taken all at once.

Nobody saying that Russia battling and winning with 100% life bar. They are suffering losses.
But the long term resultant is that they are securing the areas they set out to secure.



One goal Ukraine set out was to recapture crimea.. Are they close to succeeding in that objective?



Sinking a ship does not a war win.
U can win all the battles and still lose the war.

First, the UK, and now France and Germany. There's not much point in Ukraine joining NATO now.

Damn!!!!

Putin made sure and made him suffer in a prison as opposed to the usual and fast way of being windowed. Was always meant to be an example to anybody else.

Germany economy in tatters, France is following suit.

Ukraine is being subvented by America.

If that security pact will function outside of nato, it will be a waste of money, further crashing those economies.

If it is an opportunity to rope nato full into the war against Russia, well, Ukraine had the best trained and provisioned nato coudl do since 2014 and its demolished.


Russian economy is strong enough it can budget a nato front. Nato cannot.

Just consider everyone usa bombed in the middle east, a comparative isn't.


Reporter jamal kashogie, killed by Saudi, USA didn't invade Saudi because of that.


Western morality is convenient and situational.
Just like 'rules based order'

What ever evil Russia is guilty of, America and the collective west is far worse.

The video of him smiling and joking with the judge in court yesterday does not indicate anything was wrong with him - but one never knows if he was poisoned again or what.

Just one day before Russian officials announced his death, Alexei Navalny appeared in court via video link from a prison colony, making jokes and smiling during a hearing on the appeal of one of his charges.

In a video released by the Russian news outlet Sota, Navalny, known for his humor and charisma, teased the judge overseeing his case Thursday. “Your Honor, I’m waiting — I will send you my personal account number, so that you can use your huge federal judge’s salary to fuel my personal account,” he said, laughing.

“Because I am running out of money, and thanks to your decisions, it will run out even faster. So please send me something. And you guys in the detention centers pitch in as well,” he said.
