Makes you even more frustrating that once the war started there were people on twitter under any ukrainian war news going like "what?? have you people suddenly forgotten about Syrians/Palestinians/etc?? how curious" as if the coverage is any different than in other previous wars

On polish side things are not so bright either - volunteers are overworked, there is barely any help from the gov, many people sleep inside railway stations, volunteers buy basic stuff like food, meds, kettles with their own money.

Also, me and my friends are in good situation rn, but people are afraid it will be even harder to find a job nowadays (back in 2020 I've been applying for basic jobs like shop-assistant, Ikea, McDonald and nah) and it's a pain since Ukrainians are hardworking, but also they undervalue their work and will take a job with unfairly low salary. Ofc hope we will all make it.

There is also a woman whose name is Elena Osipova. She is the survivor of the siege of St Petersburg. She got arrested for demonstrating against the war third time in a row now, and she always takes a lot of effort and time into painting her posters. The octogenarian is called the “conscience of Saint Petersburg”. I am worried for her because not only how much russia hates women (I have sent you the first audio-proof that the policemen are toruting and forcing women to twerk and strip down naked, while saying that it's nbd for them to kill 'these whores', after all 'Putin will increase their salary'. Fun fact - policemen always prefer capturing women (with children or not) and old people). Picrel is one of her recent apprearances (yesterday) the first poster says 'Putin is war' 'we don't want to go to heaven for Putin' (probably translates weirdly to english).
I have always been worried about only women, children, and old people in Russia. In Russia, before the current sanctions old people could earn only 110 eur a month, now it went down to 80, if not less. You can't pay 110eur per apartment for shit. Through the years, everyone kept asking for pension to get increased and it's been at least 20 years now and nothing happened. We had a lot of protests 2 years in a row after they added years to pension age. (It's 61 and a half for women now, and 65 for men. It keeps getting increased year by year) The only way you can get a pension early now, at age of is if you have at least 5 children as a woman. According to their plan, the pension age will keep getting increased by 67 minimum years in 2031.

She is going to protests daily since the very first announcement. I like these posters.
The first one is dedicated to dead LGBT-activist https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yelena_Grigoryeva

>Yelena 'Lena' Grigoryeva[1] (1977/1978 – July 21, 2019) was a human rights and LGBTQ rights activist. She also opposed the annexation of Crimea by the Russian Federation.[2][3][4] She was murdered in St. Petersburg, Russia on 21 July 2019, when she was stabbed and strangled to death by unknown assailants, her body is found near her home.[4]

She also had protested publically in the Khachaturian sister's case, but it's another story you could probably google about yourself. However, if you do, please make sure the sources are from feminists. It's a tough story and tough case that the lawyer ditched because they got bored of it (the lawyer took it and went 'uguu we protest victims!!!' when feminism was a trending topic in Russia).
The other poster says 'Russia. We are getting used to the worst.'

TBH I don't know what tier of 4D chess Russia would be playing arresting people for saying the word "war" but then staging an anti war protest on tv. Anything is possible I guess, but I don't get it. But maybe that's the point, to have everyone confused.

There was a protest in support of Russia here in Serbia, this is the second one. It was organised by right-wing groups.
It was a protest drive, they were in vehicles. Apparently, the protest didn't get police approval so they went without police escort. I'm pretty sure last time they had it since the city centre was closed off by police then. I read that there was about 1000 people on this protest and about 4000 on the previous, but I never trust the numbers they put out and I haven't seen it for myself. There were calls for a counter-protest but that didn't happen.

I'm worried more about Kyivanon though. She didn't seem to post in this/previous (not so sure about the previous thread since there was an Ukrainian anon, she just posted in Russian), but thank you for asking!
Now that it's sure that NATO/anyone else won't intervene, main thing I'm worried about is medication since there's zero insulin and thyroid hormones in drug stores and Russian analogues are trash. I have several aliments and some of them need daily overseas meds, some big pharmaceutic corporations took part in this big "cancelling" of Russia by companies and no longer ship or test their chems in Russia.
Sure we can live without McDonalds or some shit like that but the prices on everything are increasing due to shipment problems/etc, that means the public is more worried about their survival (especially now that the government wants to bring back death penalty).
The mask mandate is over in big cities like Moscow, some speculate it's to avert the public attention from bigger issues, or to easier recognize protesters' faces (and subsequently fine/jail them). There's not much big protests going on, seems like it's sadly settled down now after 2 weeks or so.
The quieter public either seems to support the invasion (even going as far as organizing public support actions, picrel - the letters "Z" and "V" are main symbols of support due to them being painted on Russian military vehicles invading Ukraine, "ZапацаноV" - "Vor the boyZ"???) or to just be silent because of big fines which many can't afford to pay.

There is no one but literal people who are broke and too busy drowning in alcoholism. The STORIES I can tell you about this place are crazy. Putin groomed only people from rural areas at the start on purpose. I've been trying to find info about my father as I am worried that they might have sent him too but in the end I found a rabbit hole of defense and military generals writing an open signed letter towards Putin for scamming the shit out of them for their work (letter and posts about it from 10 years ago), Putin would have always promised to give apartments and a decent salary for everyone but of course it was all bullshit which I can wholeheartedly confirm.

Nice spelling. Also lets see here.

>Russia: Has made marriage within a church law, if you own a holiday home in the country you must grow your own fruits and vegetables, lgbt and troonism propaganda is illegal and frowned upon, reading comprehension in schools still as high as china, rate of university to workforce still high, radical feminism not accepted by women in the country however traditional (terf) feminism is, religion and modesty is promoted and not shunned, still addressing people by first and middle name as a sign of formality, use of formal/informal pronouns still used in the russian language today to address older/younger people out of respect etc

im from serbia and I have never heard of this law and even if it is real (none of my friends, serbian or russian have ever heard of rape stories in marriage, maybe like hillbillies in rural areas? i dont know), slavic men treat women with respect and I cant believe there is a rhetoric of the opposite.

serbia fag again, I think you are taking the religion part out of context, we do not serve men or provide womb for our children, as orthodox people we have to have the utmost respect for one another in a marriage and especially in 21st century we have very progressive gender roles. I earn more money than my husband as a teacher and he totally doesn't mind that! I am also allowed to wear anything I want? I have been to russia before and the women there love partying and can wear whatever they want im not sure where you got that from.
>unnecessary hierarchy is stiffling and leads to dumb boomers having too much power
this is not true, it provides us with a sense of respect for one another especially if we just met someone and we want to show them that we respect them. Once you get to know someone you can speak less formally to them and it helps make the friendship feel closer in my opinion humble.

I agree with these paragraphs. It's like when Iranians end up becoming more supportive of their government when they actually meet Americans for the first time and see how hateful they are.

Sanctions on entertainment and food are kind of pointless in rotten kleptocracies where people have zero ability to affect their government because nobody in charge cares at all about the people or country, but the economic sanctions are wrecking the ability of the Russian government to undermine and attack neighbouring countries. Maybe mass unemployment and shortages of everything will make oligarchs feel uncomfy, but that hasn't stopped North Korea from crawling on endlessly.

Impoverishing the Russian people does help people outside of Russia, and it doesn't really matter what Russians think because they can't do or decide anything either way.

Maybe things will change when Putin dies. Hopefully Russia will break apart and the great evil will be destroyed for good. If the sanctions don't end soon, Russia will return to a state similar to the 90s, except reviled by everyone and a vassal state of China.

Most Russians are already supporting their government because they are getting irradiated by bullshit propaganda 24/7 for 20+ years now. Imagine if you turn on the news and all the news on all channels are nothing but lies, and half of them are saying different things, but all of them are wrong, and every couple weeks the message changes but nothing is ever mistaken. Your president is on TV and his speech is full of contradictions and obvious falsities and people pick and choose which lies they believe based on their preferences, but nobody believes that there even is a truth or if there is, that it matters, because truth has no impact on reality.
That's your world for all your life.

Remember when the Russians bombed out a maternity ward, except it was an Azov Nazi HQ, also it was a maternity ward, but it had been evacuated and the victims are paid actors. Also it was not bombed by Russians, it was Azov Nazis attacking a maternity ward to kill their own women and children to make Russia look bad.

>Didn't stop the USA going paranoid and trying to destabilize Latin America.
Yes, that was wrong.

But what does it have to do with Russian foreign policy in the present?
Russia has no enemy except for those that were created by Russian policies, and the desire of her enemies is to be left alone by Russia. To that end they joined a purely defensive military alliance that has done nothing to threaten or hurt Russia for as long as Russia existed in her current form. Even though Russia has returned to her imperialist ways. Did you know Russia is also a country that colonized and settled the lands of indigenous peoples and all but exterminated their culture in their home lands? She is knows as a Prison of Peoples for that reason.

Unlike Russia's neighbours who are always at risk of military attack by Russia, Russia has no fear of being militarily attacked by foreign countries due to her large nuclear deterrent. So a military alliance, even if it was not as strictly defensive as NATO, isn't terribly threatening.

For decades the policy of the EU and US was to neutralize Russia as a threat by incorporating the Russian economy into the wider western trade networks. They thought Russia is a normal country that will rather cooperate and prosper than rule over an army of serfs. Putin woke them up from that dream. He showed that he is a liar who will break promises and companionship as easily as he breathes. That's another part of why the response to this war is so harsh.

No. 1105511

>>1105502
You continuously miss the point that the other anons are making. The USA and Russia are imperialist powers who fear each other so they will do whatever it takes to neutralize what they perceive as threats. Incorporating Russia economically will render it dependent on the West/ China hasn't fired a single shot yet the US already gets antsy over China's strengthening economy. The two want to retain their supremacy over either their sphere of influence (Russia) or the whole world (USA).

>Incorporating Russia economically will render it dependent on the West

Which is why Russia has maintained (at least for the most part) economic self-sufficiency. An economic trade network would be exposing themselves to outside forces and would make them subservient to other countries. No country would willingly cede power or territory.

No. 1105531

>>1105502
>But what does it have to do with Russian foreign policy in the present?
If you don't see how these actions parallel each other then you're an idiot. A Latin America with strong ties to the USSR would present a security threat to the USA since the USSR was its chief rival, the US viewed Latin America as its "sphere of influence", and many Latin American nations were resentful of US imperialism.
Even if many of these Latin American countries did not border the US and had far inferior cultural, military, economic metrics to pose any realistic challenge - the US would continue to be paranoid about them and perceive them as potential threats regardless.

The US uses a very light hand in Europe, only soft power, and consequently European countries routinely don't follow the US lead in military or political matters, but that doesn't substantially affect the long term association between the regions because cooperation serves both far better than competition, let alone subjugation.

The idea, that the only relationship between states is that between master and serf is a very Russian one that doesn't reflect reality, which is probably why Russia has been failing at every turn to accomplish her foreign policy goals.

> Incorporating Russia economically will render it dependent on the West

It became interdependent with the West, that's not the same.

>>1105519
> Russia has maintained (at least for the most part) economic self-sufficiency
It actually hasn't, Russia operates much like a third world country in that regard. A corrupt leadership extracts resources and exports them to economically dynamic countries, and in return imports machines and technology. Russia failed to develop her economy despite an almost uniquely advantageous position (highly educated workforce, long experience with advanced technology, competent administration, rule of law, close to European markets and European culture) in part because oligarchs can easily become rich through exploiting resources. Putin actively erodes everything that would threaten him, which includes economic development. An educated and wealthy populace would demand political participation, civil liberties, and a crack down on corruption. So Putin works to keep Russians poor and fighting for scraps, while feeding them propaganda about the evil of the West and the glory of Putin.

It will be interesting to see how Russia copes with the sanctions, because most of even the domestically produced technology is made with imported parts that are no longer available.

>>1105531
I can't comment on US policy in South America because I only have a vague idea about it, but I think the situation todays is substantially different.
The USSR was an actual threat to the US, while the US is not really a threat to Russia. Russia is a poor country with an economy the size of Brazil, with a similar structure, but with a very old and shrinking population. China has a higher GDP per capita than Russia, and unlike Russia China actually makes things.

You don't realize how pathetic and decrepit Russia actually is. The US simply has no need to be aggressive towards the country. Today the EU alone utterly dwarfs Russia by every metric.

I can use a gun to defend against individual men but no matter how many women I arm and train, a male force will win out in the end, look at afghan women, many armed themselves, many trained cause they knew if they didn't win, they'd be treated as subhumans in the new Taliban society and you know what happened, they lost and got reduced to subhumans

We also don't need men to protect us because they literally don't. Most rapes are committed by men the woman is closest to, a father raping his daughter or a husband killing his wife is far more likely than a stranger to do so.

Bringing up an abuse of a girl to win arguments is so low, so low it further proves you're an autistic male. Also women do actually save other women or girls from being sexually assaulted in daily lives. I'm sure you've heard of violent men getting attacked by other women when they attempt to harass a girl, no man ever defends the women or girls but fellow women do, even though you think we're innately "weaker", we aren't.

They don't now, but men should have the natural function to serve and appease us so we can allow them to pass on their genes. The reason they're phisically strong is only because they can beat up other men and weed out the genetically inferior ones, so that the ones we can pick (if we want to) are the best ones. Women are literally the ones that are meant to pick which males to keep around. That's why a man harming a woman is unnatural. Men's only purpose is to provide us with quality genetic material for future generations and protection, so a man who wants to hurt and kill the only reason he's even alive is quite literally retarded.
I'm not trying to say that women also have roles, because women are superior and can have many purposes beside reproduction.

>>1124146
Well, as for mayor, I guess it's true, as for everything else I know for a fact that it's true. My friend's and mom's acquantainces live there and they confirm, and my friend's colleague (she's a psychotherapist) is working with children that suffered from violence in Bucha (I don't know the details) now. Surely I'm just an anon and it's only words, but it's all I can offer besides anything that's available in other sources.

As for genocide… Putin & Co want to make it seem like identifying as a Ukrainian culturally and ethnically is extremist and closely tied with russophobia (not just "fuck you, moskal'" level of russophobia but oppression and persecution of Russian-speaking people etc.). For the last 8 years they were trying to make it seem like it's already present in Ukraine: "nazis" torture and kill Russian-speaking people, other people tolerate it and probably think it's ok. So now it gives them the right to kill the "nazis" and "re-educate" others that's got too "ukrainified". And it's not taking someone's culture away, because they've already made it clear that Ukrainian culture is non-existent and was simply made-up not that long ago. Also I don't know if it's true but our media was telling about cases of Russian soldiers burning certain Ukrainian books, historical and written by some authors that lived long ago. I wouldn't be surprised. It sounds completely mad, but I guess Putin sees it as a way to put Ukraine under control and make it like Belarus. I don't know if he fantasizes about empire necessarrily, but he definitely wants some land and a meek neighbor that won't give people of Russia any ideas (about democracy etc.). It's all absurdly similar to the way it was done in the USSR and Russian Empire: persecution and repression of pro-Ukrainian activists and cultural figures of Ukraine and Belarus, elimination of art and literature, at some point - Holodomor. All to make everyone nice and russified enough and quiet.

I knew that Russia would start denying everything and thought they'd start putting the blame on Azov, as they had done before, but I didn't think they'd be saying something about it being staged… I don't even know how to comment on it anymore. It's absolutely crazy that people even outside of Russia believe this propaganda, simply out of being anti-Western (while living in the West…) and having this idealistic image of Mother Russia I suppose. Although it's hard to comprehend why these people can't associate themselves with something else Russian, why they have to consider its politics(?) to be a part of their identity necessarrily? It's crazy there're young educated people in Russia that genuinely want the resurgence of Imperial Russia and despise everything Ukrainian. Surely they're a minority, and the majority of people just think that Ukraine's being liberated from nazis, which isn't much better because they still justify the war and live in a fantasy world. Some people that's always been against Putin also partially believe propaganda… they know it's a war, not "special operation", but they still think some horrible pieces of news coming from Ukraine or western countries are fake, because, I suspect, they're in deep denial, yet they think they're "staying objective".
Of course I don't want to generalize, I know there're Russians who don't believe this shit and I don't hate all Russians or something. I just couldn't imagine these levels of propaganda would be possible in modern world, but here we are. It's devastating to see how people are being raped, tortured and murdered and the whole cities like Mariupol and Kharkiv - destroyed, this generation of children traumatized for life. How these monsters kill even farm animals and stray dogs, and the zoo animals suffer and die because of bombing and humanitarian crisis. While Russia blatantly lies and gaslights the whole world. While "the whole world" punishes Russia by taking nice things away little by little and waits for the next more horrible thing to happen. What the fuck is even happening?

Ntayrt but even if russia has conscripted more, the majority of these men are not experienced in combat, it takes a lot of time and resources to train effective soldiers.
Most of russias equipment i.e. arms and planes/tanks etc. are old and outdated, most of the people operating them are not well trained on the shitty equipment they have to use.
Some of their airforce doesn't even have working GPS so they have to use portable ones to be able to actually fly their planes.

>don't even know how to comment on that one

Not sure what you are confused by. Your army that retreated in Belarus means that Ukrainians can not move their main army from Kiev region to help in the East and you don't even have to do anything. They have to keep the main army there to protect the city.

>they have real motivation and a clear idea what they are fighting for. 18-19-20 year olds from Russia who are fighting in Ukraine have no fucking idea what they are doing there why they were sent there.

Numbers are very important. These 18-19-20 year olds are useful as frontline troops to keep the Ukrainians busy while the professionals do the real killing. Ukrainians do not have the numbers to keep up with attrition, you do. Your population is 3 times theirs.

>>1124800
Their experience doesn't matter, they are just there as front line troops, their use is to keep the Ukrainians shooting at them while the professionals do the real killing. Experience doesn't help against artillery, which is what they will mostly face. As for equipment, Ukraine is running out of soldiers that know how to use it, they are also suffering attrition, even if western media does not talk about it.

No. 1124815

>>1124808
Yes these inexperienced troops are basically cannon fodder for the Ukrainians, easily wiped out due to their shit training and equipment and poor knowledge of the areas they are attempting to infiltrate.
Ukraine is getting a lot of arms from other countries, they also have artillery and the soldiers fighting on their side know they are not just cannon fodder, they are actually fighting for a cause.
And yes russia is attempting to slowly siege cities in Ukraine, that's basically what attrition is and is being widely discussed, not sure why you think that's a secret, that's how russia has fought most of its recent wars (e.g. syria).
Western countries will continue to supply Ukraine with the resources they need and ultimately that is more resources than what Russia has.
It seems this will be a drawn out conflict because that's the only way russia has a chance of NATO not getting involved, they are betting on the fact their soldiers won't starve or be killed before all the Ukrainian soldiers are but Ukraine is continuing to get soldiers and resources from all over the world. Russia is not.

They wouldn't have moved their forces to help the east anyway. Retreating means to let the Ukrainians take a break.

>Numbers are very important. These 18-19-20 year olds are useful as frontline troops to keep the Ukrainians busy while the professionals do the real killing.

You are saying that they are basically almost meaningless soon-to-be-minced-meat, and as a Russian, even though I don't support any of this and I don't have any warm feelings towards those who willingly went to kill Ukrainins, this is not about winning. Sending your people to die is not winning. Especially when these people finished school one or two summers ago.

Ukrainian soldiers are just as much cannon fodder as Russian ones, both countries have conscript armies with a strong small core of professionals. I never said it's a secret btw, I was just mentioning it. My estimation is that Russia can deal with a war of attrition better than Ukraine, West can send all the weapons they want, if you level their main cities like you did Mariupol, then they can't do anything about it other than get buried in the rubble. Morale doesn't matter when you are in pieces. They just don't have the numbers.

>>1124820
>Putin's words don't matter.And I was talking about those who are already in the service. Many of them refuse to fight in Ukraine.
When did I say Putin's words matter? Also refusing to fight while in the army means you get shot. After a few get executed the rest will obey, it's what has always happened.

>They wouldn't have moved their forces to help the east anyway. Retreating means to let the Ukrainians to take a break.

A break sure, but their army can't offer relief, which is what's important.

>You are saying that they are basically almost meaningless soon-to-be-minced-meat, and as a Russian, even though I don't support any of this and I don't have any warm feelings towards those who willingly went to kill Ukrainins, this is not about winning.

I mean, yeah they are basically sent to their (gruesome and torturous) deaths. That's what war is like, especially for conscripted infantry, they are slaves for Christ's sake. I don't know what you expected to happen to them? It doesn't matter if they are young, that's in fact even better for the government because they won't have to pay money to some widow. And yeah, sending your young men to die can very much be winning. That's how you won WW2, by throwing your young men and boys to the meat grinder. Look at the statistics of how many boys born like 15 years before the war survived it to find out what your government is willing to do. Doesn't matter if it's aggressive of defensive warfare, all they care about is winning.

>You's going to restore the economy? who's gonna work? Pushing 145 million of people to live in a medieval-like state whilst sending to jail or killing all those who disagree is not winning. Russia would have wone if we hadn't started the war. This is how you win wars, you just don't start them

Well you are very correct, but Putin doesn't care. He wins the war by occupying parts of Ukraine and the level of living of the Russian people is pretty irrelevant. Your economy is dead anyway from the sanctions. At this point he is basically solving the unemployment issue by throwing young uneducated men to the Ukrainian artillery.

Excuse me but in WW2 Russia had to defend itself, you fight or you die. man, woman, child - doesn't matter, if they didn't fight, they died. The compariosn is inappropriate.

>Doesn't matter if it's aggressive of defensive warfare, all they care about is winning.

Not true. When a country defends itself the stakes are its existance. If a country attacks the stakes are its governers' existance. And nobody's going to fight for Putin's sake as they would fight for their motherland.

>Also refusing to fight while in the army means you get shot.

The Ukrainian soldiers have a purpose to their fight, so even though they may get killed they are not fighting just to be killed, they are fighting to save their people and country.
The russian conscripts don't even necessarily know why they are fighting, they are being used as human shields to an extent.
So even though frontline soldiers on both sides are at great risk I wouldn't class the Ukrainian soldiers as cannon fodder as the majority of them have a reason to fight and have an emotional connection to this war, they are not just there to shield the rest of the army, they are there to actually fight for their country.

Cannon fodder simply means you are expendable mincemeat. You can believe w/e you want, doesn't change what you are.

As for Vietnam war, you know Americans were winning right? Like, insanely so. They lost because of politics not military. If they were allowed to go on with it the North would absolutely lose the war. Numbers matter, especially when the technology between the two adversaries is comparable.

No. 1124865

>>1124859
I don't know cannon fodder is when they are treated more like objects than people, as purely expendable resources of war and I don't think the Ukrainians are treating their soldiers that way.

As I said above anon, Americans did not really lose. They changed politics and decided that they don't want to support the war anymore. They were overwhelmingly more successful in killing the Vietcong than the alternative. Also regarding cannon fodder, they Ukrainians absolutely treat (some) of their soldiers like this, especially the fresh conscripts who are not specialized. Conscripts are slaves that the army will sacrifice to protect themselves, themselves being the professionals that actually make up the army.

>>1124866
Well I will be here anon. I wonder what you think will change tomorrow.

No. 1124895

>>1124870
Personally I think they changed their politics because they knew they were gonna lose or have to suffer a insanely large loss in order to win, which the public wouldn't find acceptable so I really wouldn't class that as winning but I think that's obviously personal opinions we both have rather than an objective fact, but in the history books they didn't win, we can speculate why they didn't win (whether it was an actual choice to lose or their hand was forced due to circumstances) but it doesn't really matter, the big guy lost officially in that case.

I do think treating their soldiers like cannon fodder is happening on a much larger scale in regards to the russian troops and if I was a russian I would be outraged that so many young men are being pointlessly sacrificed. I don't think there's that same attitude in Ukraine because they didn't choose this war, they were forced to defend themselves.

I'm also gonna wind down for the night but will be back tomorrow if you have further points to discuss.

No. 1124899

>>1124895
Fair points anon. regarding your second paragraph, I would say the difference is more how acceptable throwing men at the meatgrinder is rather than whether or not they are doing it. Ukrainians just find it more acceptable because they are on the defensive. I still don't think they will win, since Russia is not a democracy and the Russians can be as angry as they want, it won't change anything. Putin doesn't care what they thin, they don't vote (not really). I will be around too, have a nice night.

They talk about it in general though, not showing individual victims. I think it's important to talk about it, because it's true. There are children of both sexes that were raped, women raped in front of their children, teen girls that's been raped for 1-2 weeks: some got pregnant. As for who exactly did it, those were from different parts of Russia, I saw Pskov, Ryazan, Ulan-Ude… (there's a list of units that were in Kyiv oblast) They say, there were lots of yakuts and buryats particularly in Bucha.

>>1126219
So far it seems like some Chechens and Russians see this war as an opportunity to kill one another despite fighting on one side. There were talks about Chechens not giving Russians a chance to desert, threatening their life, and something about mutual killings or using Chechens as cannon fodder implied by Chechen captive.

Chechens on Russian side love to make laughable tiktoks where they heroically fire guns at windows, empty houses and the traffic light. Ramzan Kadyrov pretended to be in Ukraine a few times only to shamefully expose himself with the treacherous little details like geolocation or Rosneft gas station in the background.
There are also two Chechen volunteer battalions fighting on Ukrainian side named after Sheikh Mansur and Dzhokhar Dudayev. They hate being under Russia's control and both Putin and Kadyrov - his father is considered a traitor since he switched sides in Second Chechen War. Chechnya was also heavily shelled by Russia, like Mariupol now.

By the way, regarding Putin, Russians and Islamists (I see it was discussed in the context of Syrian war): it seems like Putin doesn't really care about Islam in Chechnya. I mean, it got more islamized under Ramzan Kadyrov: he made women cover their heads, first in state institutions, then on television and in the universities/school, then, I guess, everywhere outside. He supports Sharia law (although not its pure form) and "honor killing". I also remember this story: https://www.theguardian.com/world/2015/may/18/chechen-teenager-forced-marriage-russia
Especially this part:
>Russia’s children’s rights ombudsman Pavel Astakhov caused a scandal last week by coming out in favour of the right of older men to marry teen brides.

Dehumanization of Ukrainians and the concept of Great Russia that was robbed of territories that it should rightfully have has been a thing for decades; people are not immune to propaganda regardless of gender. When you watch these videos of regular Russians being approached in the streets and they speak in support of the war you'll see most of the time women have gentler way of perceiving this and don't speak of murder but of "unity under Russian flag" and "helping these people"; like many people I'm sure many of them seeing gruesome war crimes committed by the soldiers just believe the lies of their government that Ukrainians did it to themselves to bait west into giving them more weapons or so. If you really want to not believe something you'll always find the way.

samefag, on top of that, over the past 7 years people would be sent to jail for liking or reposting a meme that shows the govt and Putin's polparty in a negative light, same goes w religion. People would either have to pay 1k USD fine (which is a luxury for the most russians unless you are a Moscow rat) becuz 'u hurt their feelsies and bad propaganda. Last year, a single mother with 2 kids who also works 2 jobs has to choose between 1k fine or years in jail over commenting 'govt bad' under one of the news articles. It goes as deep as they would make sure to stalk you for years and make up any fucking excuse possible to set u to jail, for example, here's a story of a child (his friends got sent to jail too) that is facing years in jail for playing Minecraft. You know nothing about what it's like to live in Russia.
A lot of people are now terrified of speaking out because the 'no to war' or even the WAR word itself is banned for a month now, they catch everyone they can at protests and give them firstly a fine, then years of jail time even if you just stood somewhere in the corner with an empty paper. Idgaf I am replying to all of the baits in the world, but even what I am saying is the tip of iceberg.

I wanted to post about it because I've lost my shit at this quote from the Russian galaxy brain who said
>the vote on suspending Russia from the Human Rights Council "is an attempt by the United States to maintain its dominant position and total control to continue its attempt at human rights colonialism in international relations."
Human rights colonialism LMFAO, an unprecedented sequence of words. I see that Kuzmin has mastered the twitterfag tactic of throwing in amerifat outrage buzzwords so nobody will question you. Too bad the world isn't Twitter.
Also love how he didn't mind Russia being a part of "human rights colonialism in international relations" until it got kicked out.
>"Today is not the time nor the place for theatrics, or these kinds of extremely theatrical performances like the one presented by Ukraine. In fact the draft resolution we are considering today has no relationship to the actual human rights situation on the ground," Kuzmin said.
Another good one, literally an elementary school bully thinking he can DARVO his ass out of getting called out.

But are you aware that if these people were indeed against war they would just chose to not to speak on camera? In the full version of the vid there was a couple who said they're "apolitical" which, in the light of russian government is, makes it seem clear that they're against, so that's also a choice to make; yet these people decided to support. Russia is not China so they're not getting any social points for that, and not saying anything wouldn't put them in any danger as it would just not be seen by anyone. Yeah, the situation is nuanced but it would be REALLY naive to assume that poor uwu russians just all pretend to like it while deep in their hearts they're sorry and hate what their government is doing.

Excuse me? Do you know that every fourth Russian has family in Ukraine? Doesn't mean they were pro-Ukrainian but there has never been any hatred towards Ukraine in Russia at a large scale. Ofc there are always some small groups of retarded people, that happens everywhere, but you seem to be completely not knowledgebale about things in Russia when you say things like above.
I can post dozens of videos where Russians speak on camera they are against war and that wouldn't mean anything to you whilst it takes a lot of courage to say stuff like that even without being recorded on camera. I don't say there aren't people in Russia who support Putin's war, quite a lot, but not the majority.
You know nothing how Russia has lived last 10-15 years, and yet you talk about hatred towards Ukraine. I can't even donate to anybody or anything connected to Ukraine because hello prison sentences for 10-15 years.

>It doesn't matter. For Putin? Achieving his objectives in Ukraine.
The thing is nobody understands what his objectives are. I don't understand what should happen for the war to stop. I heard Zelensky said they were ready to become a neutral state that wouldn't join any military union. I thought that would be enough because that basically exludes NATO presence on the territories of Ukraine but it seems it's not enough.
There are rumours Putin wants to cut Ukraine off the sea but that's delusional. Joining Lugansk and Donetsk to the lands of Russia is not better and I don't believe it can come true. It's impossible, just impossible. The war has no clear achievable objectives.

Hopefully Ukraine. I don't want the resurgence of Russian Empire/USSR and my country to become russian republic or the second Belarus. Also I worry about normal Russians and I want them to have decent life, too.

Although not sure what exactly would winning mean. I mean, it's probably too fairytailish if Russia gets rid of Putin and substitutes him with someone who doesn't have any imperial ambitions. Otherwise I think there'll still be a threat of another invasion, sooner or later. Unless there'll be some kind of alliance that would make it too risky for Russia, idk.

And another question is… again, what does winning mean in this case? Russian side always names different goals of this so-called operation. They have already failed with Kyiv (even though now they say it wasn't really their goal, yet they did want to overthrow the "Kyiv regime", so…); they're not really succeeding in "demilitarizing" Ukraine and it won't happen anyways, especially if they keep giving away their own machines hehe, and I doubt that Ukraine will comply and willingly demilitarize itself because it means suicide; "denazifying" is some vague shit that means nothing, they can easily tell Russians they've achieved it and vatniks will believe them just like that so I guess that's a pretty convenient "goal". The worst case scenario is if they manage to occupy at least Eastern Ukraine (or Eastern and Southern Ukraine) but as far as I know Ukrainian forces are still capable of fighting (and they're currently counterattacking in some directions) and no one's going to give up those territories. Although Russian forces have just focused on Donbass and it's getting really tough there. It's their last chance to win something and have their Victory Parade on the 9th of May. Hope they won't get it. Also recently Russian propagandists and politicians started saying that they fight with NATO, not Ukraine (after Ukrainian missiles hit cruiser Moskva), so not sure how they plan to win, looks more like an attempt to save face if they have to retreat or something: surely they could easily beat up "dumb Ukrainians" but those are helped by the big meanie, so they did everything they could or something like that. Or they'll show a few ruined buildings (they have lots of options in this regard) and say they were NATO laboratories that aren't a threat anymore or something.

Russia will win the conflict on the ground in Ukraine, it's basically a forgone conclusion. Ukraine is a smaller country armed with old Soviet era weaponry, nothing the west is giving Ukraine is going to change that, it's just going to prolong the conflict and kill more people.

Long term it's probably going become a larger war that avoids direct military confrontation between Russia and NATO. More proxy wars will happen and the main conflict will be an economic war of attrition. I expect living standards and quality of life in the west to deteriorate.

This is so easy to read between the lines. The Russian military has been badly exposed in this conflict and the mystique of Russian military power has been undone. Russia was already a middling economy with a smaller GDP than Italy. Putin has been surprised by the collective response of the international community and it has done generational damage to the Russian economy. Putin had delusions of Russia still being a great power but in the space of 2 months, he has weakened Russia immeasurably and emboldened its enemies. They are now desperate to save face, so want to project an image of an unpredictable and dangerous power but the reality is the Russian people and more importantly, its elites, have no appetite for this war, let alone a nuclear one. He's looking for a way out and he's hoping these threats will lead to negotiations that confer concessions that he can use to claim some sort of victory. This "special military operation" will be remembered as a colossal strategic blunder.
