Official Russia vs Ukraine War Thread

Interesting point you've picked to compare. Day 1 of this thread was 17 March 2022. Since then...

- The Russian attack on Kyiv from Belarus got KTFO'd

- The Russian attack on Kyiv through Chernihiv got obliterated, failing even to take Chernihiv and then getting ambushed before a live TV audience in Brovary (hilarious videos, by the way)

- The Russian attack on Kyiv through Sumy got a Javelin colonoscopy, failing even to take Sumy

- The Russian attack on Kharkiv went home devestated

- A Ukrainian counterattack cleared Kharkiv Oblast

- A Ukrainian counterattack retook Izyum

- A Ukrainian counterattack pushed the Russians out of Mykolaiv Oblast (I actually forgot this one, but you can see it on the map)

- A Ukrainian counterattack retook Kherson and Kherson Oblast on the right bank of the Dnipr

- Snake Island: No longer Russian-occupied

- Moskva: No longer floating

- Moscow: Beefing up its air defenses "just in case"

- Ukrainian army: Now operating better equipment, and more of it, thanks to captures from Russia and donations from Western partners

- Weather: Alternating between hypothermia for Russian soldiers, and tungsten rain of death, thanks to Excalibur 155mm rounds and HIMARS, which the Russians can't touch

- Russia, February 2022: We'll take Kyiv in less than 3 days! (Ukraine captured the battle plans that document this timetable)

- Russia, March 2023: We'll take Ukraine's 58th-largest city in 7.5 months, if we can scrounge up enough shells and meth addicts, but it's pretty difficult, ya know?

So you ask how Ukraine is looking these days? I'd say it looks pretty badass.

Keep scrolling... past your conscience. Lol. Good times. More to come. Turns out, a Nazi state creates lots of evidence.

In 1988, in Portland, an Ethiopian exchange student was beaten to death with a baseball bat by 3 white supremacists. It was an international story. It was all over Portland news.

At that time and since then, america has not erected 200 monuments for Nazi collaborators. america did not make a Nazi collaborator cheer a national slogan for its military. america did not make a national holiday for a Nazi collaborator. america did not take all its neo-nazi / aryan groups and assimilate them into its military.

After that 1988 murder, america also did not ban any languages, close any churches, or close ALL opposition media.

But america should do all this now because you idiots can't bear to look at yourselves wallowing in your moral low ground *hit pile.

. . . The Kremlin’s propagandists have plenty of reasons to be concerned; . . . The agitation for war crimes against Ukrainians (described as animals and worse), the descriptions of them as Nazis, and the delight at the attacks on their homes and civilian energy grid have, after all, not been broadcast by people on the street. From the lowliest pawns on Putin’s chess board to the queens of propaganda like Simonyan and Skabeeva, the state-controlled media has played a central part in prompting, encouraging, rationalizing, and normalizing the Kremlin’s massacre of its next-door neighbors. . . .

‘Morality Shouldn’t Get in the Way’ — Russia’s Genocidal State Media

It occasionally occurs to Putin’s mouthpieces that they may one-day face charges in a war crimes tribunal for Russian war crimes in Ukraine.

Monumental waste of a post that was. Russia is winning. They are in Ukraine right now.

In 2016, Ukraine's neo-nazis were still embarrassed with themselves and wanted to hide their nationwide Nazi worship from the world. Since then, these far right militias have joined Ukraine's government. They are the ministry of defense. No bother hiding anymore. They are just being themselves.

Ukraine asks French TV channel not to show documentary on far-right militias

A French documentary on the influence of far-right militias in the Ukraine conflict has caused a storm with the Ukrainian embassy in France asking TV channel Canal+ not to broadcast it. The programme…

You need evidence.

Russia is liberating the Donbas from neo-Nazi ethnic cleansing of unarmed ethnic Russian civilians, which was started by Ukraine neo-nazis in November 2013.

Prove this all didn't happen

You are a Russian troll, paid to broadcast horse sh!t about your (ahem) "Special Military Operation".

Most would say that is worse than being a prostitute. How does that feel?

To be clear, you're asking for evidence that the Russian State media, which is an organization that broadcasts information, isn't broadcasting information that broadly dehumanizes Ukrainians and the legitimacy of the Ukrainian state?

Are you daft?

You are aware that everything happening after November 2013 is because of November 24-25th 2013.

You have no evidence that Russia started the violence in November 2013 that led to this war.

You have no evidence Russia was even in Ukraine in 2013.

You have no evidence that the Russian government is a Nazi state, Like Ukraine's government.

You are completely empty, fumes gone. Just stuck on stupid.

Meanwhile, here is the Ukraine government in 2023... all their Nazi groups are now part of Ukraine’s ministry of defense.

Then your rogue neo-nazi militias in Ukraine starting the very first violence in November 2013, leading to this war, was the backstreet whorehouse that became Ukraine’s official main street whorehouse by 2022. Gotta love Ukraine’s ministry of defense for finding a flatbed trailer large enough to move its - Azov Battalion, Aidar Battalion, C14, National Front - backstreet whorehouse all the way to main street, to make it a fixture in Ukraine society.

Your morality in this war reads like a medical guide on how to catch STI’s. You are walking around unchecked, pus coming out your ears, stuck on stupid. Most of Ukraine’s main street whorehouse patrons are STI-laden NATO members. It used to just be america when it was still a backstreet whorehouse and america was paying $5 billion for their new roof.

But why is the Ukraine government throwing up seig heils in this video? When is this ever appropriate? And why is a government doing this in 2023?

Where is Unkle,Carmine,Newname when you need him?

There will be bo Ukraine by the end of the winter???

1 more day soft lad.

Up there with adults 5 day war prediction and wiggins 2600 dead as all time losers.

The 5 day prediction was predicated on Ukraine not fighting back... The majority of the western world agreed with that prediction...

So, I take it that you feel really good about being considered lower than a prostitute,

No they didn't.

You and 1 or 2 others.

Any evidence to prove the majority of the western world agreed?

And as if a country wouldn't fight back

A humanitarian catastrophe was attempted by RU but the forces of good beat it back. Kudos, good.

Always remember that a few people on this board refuse to cheer the Ukrainians as they try to keep from being that humanitarian crisis. Shame.

WaPo:

Temperatures now are warming, days are getting longer and demand for heating and lighting is falling. Ukraine has stopped the rolling blackouts it adopted to save electricity when strikes began pummeling the power infrastructure. The Russian attempt to engineer a humanitarian crisis has failed.

Maybe adult is French.

WINNING!!

All thanks to the U S of A…

At least our Pentagon spokesman can explain our position logically. LOL!!

LOL

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

You left off my favorite- THE GHOST OF KYIV!! That dude wiped out 50 generals all on his own! LOL

The never ending Liberal doubling down is truly amazing.

Ukraine has been DECIMATED.

Thanks USA. Thanks NATO.

And guess who’s there to help clean everything up? Larry f’n Fink. Imagine that.
