The Russian Invasion of Ukraine (Part 2)

Video of a Russian soldier castrating a Ukrainian soldier circulating on Russian social media, and now deemed authentic by multiple Western intelligence agencies.

It is absolutely insane that the Russian public could be depraved enough that it has been allowed to circulate on their social media platforms. One psychopathic Russian soldier capable of doing it is horrific enough, but a population that watches on may be beyond saving. Would you now want to allow Russian visitors to your country? I really cannot think of a parallel.

the thing that fucks with my head, is the propaganda coming out of Russia. Are there really that many Russians that support this invasion? Because all I see is a bunch of state-controlled media. the Iron Curtain is well and truly re-hung and I don’t know if we’ll really know what the general Russian public believes? Any dissent and it’s off to a Siberian work camp, so to speak. Putin is truly evil, brainwashing 300mil people.

Looking at what’s happening in the eastern occupied areas of Ukraine and this announced evacuation of Donetsk Oblast, I would risk a guess that preparations are underway for a counter-offensive to regain these territories. This feels like an East/West Germany situation happening again. I don’t believe Ukraine will have the muscle to push the Russians completely out of their territories, unless the Crimean Bridge is destroyed. I think that peninsula will remain in Russian control as will Luhansk and Donetsk. we’ll likely see some new borders appearing in the next year or two.

And meanwhile, those warmongering, irresponsible cunts use the biggest nuclear plant in the world as a shield, putting artillery around it and shooting at the Ukrainian positions, counting on the Ukrainian army to refrain from responding.

But it seems that the plant has been shelled nonetheless… :see_no_evil: Security of the plant totally out of control according to those in the know.

This can end in disaster anytime.

imagine the scenes if that plant goes into SCRAM and fails. the fallout would blow east over the disputed territories and into Russia/Crimea via the prevailing winds.

That’d be one way for them to deal with the Russians…but would render yet another area of Ukraine uninhabitable for centuries as well as the Dnipro river.

Call me crazy but that’s an SS Death’s Head, just reimagined. The Russian people are basically the frog that ends up in boiling water by degrees.

Just one of a lot of videos, tweets and info out there. Appears Ukraine has struck an airbase in Crimea a long, long way behind the front line. By all accounts further away than was thought to be their capability when taking Russian air defense into account.

Big explosions, massive clouds. Russians predictably saying it was an accident with not much damage. Bullshit, of course. Two simultaneous explosions, hard to see how munitions or fuel accident does that sequence. Regardless, massive traffic jams reports as panicked Russian civilians try to leave Crimea via the Kerch bridge.

No definitive answer on what hit the airbase. Recent reports have been of Ukraine being supplied with HARM missiles which are missiles used to target radar facilities for suppression of air defence. Could be that they’ve been used to clear the way for Tocha missiles or Neptune anti-ship missiles that also have a GPS/inertial guidance system allowing it to attack land targets. Also some speculation that Ukraine has received ATACMS with a range of 300km for its HIMARS systems, not sure personally.

Ukraine also conducted the following long range attacks in the last 24-36 hours or so: The closed Antonivsky Bridge was struck again, reportedly while engineering elements were on the bridge repairing previous strike damage, the Khakova bridge and three ammunition dumps:

I saw this as well. There’s been hinting at a strike on the Crimean Bridge in the past few weeks which I think will be the tipping point of any attempted effort by Ukraine to reclaim the south coast. once that bridge is taken out, the Crimean peninsula can only be accessed from the Ukraine side.

Massive traffic jams ensued as Russians are fleeing the peninsula. writing appears to be on the wall, they know that if that bridge is struck they have no way out.

I heard a story that happened with Chernobyl. The cloud was actually heading for Moscow, untill they made it rain. There’s a patch of forest to the NE of Chernobyl that is basically pretty warm radiologically by all accounts.

I don['t know about them ā€œmaking it rainā€ as it was May and common for that time of year as the start of their wet season.

Ooh maybe a conspiracy theory then?

I’d heard it was coinciding with a big parade / National day in Moscow and it was heading right for then. So they seeded the clouds like nothing before.

May Day parade, it’s mentioned in the link I posted. were they ā€œmaking it rainā€ in 1986?

I shared this information before, this entire war is because of greed. Now the numbers are in and it’s sickening.

Putin will not give up the land he had stolen from Ukraine, because the strength of his oligarchy in Russia is built on resources which he sells to his friends

Yeah, this war is clearly a war for ressources. Almost nothing else, at least from a Russian perspective.

Then again, wars have always been about greed, whatever the official reasons for starting them.

really does make me wonder if the US’s incentive for dumping Billions of dollars into this war, is to be able to send Western companies into Ukraine after it’s over to help rebuild and start extraction of the resources to pay for it.

because someone’s gotta pay for it

Of course. You need two sides to wage war. The winner will hit the jackpot. If there is one that is, because this war could go on forever, and then there will be only losers.
