Russian special military operation in Ukraine #2

PapaDragon wrote:What happened? What do they know that we don't? What's the long term plan?

What kicked this off? Because the Ukraine is not exactly new topic but so far they were completely restrained diplomatically and militarily and yet the whole thing went tits up all of a sudden

Any ideas? Seriously asking here

Yeah, I'm here

Apparently El Presidente managed to put together a statement that made both Russia and USA not only happy but are also giving us attaboys

Fu*k if I know how they managed to do it (seems they are capable of pulling that off but giving teachers a pay raise is a tall order)

I guess we skipped getting our balls stomped on for a while

You know **** all, it's at 70%...

You have any sources on that?

I didn't run into any polls (been avoiding news honestly, kinda stressful events)




What really eats me is being curious about what exactly motivated Russia to go full Rolling Thunder on international relations by starting this because they torched a lot of bridges here for decades to come and apparently entire government and political spectrum seems to be okay with it

Not very much tbh. Again, what war is popular.

BTW, internet is still operational in Ukraine.  This is a way for Musk to rip Ukrainians off

Was there poll for war? I thought 70% is current Putin's approval. I know Russians who oppose Putin, but support war and other way around? Russians unlike Americans, never supported interventions, but like blogger Anatoly Karlin said, no matter current sentiment, ALL people will love short and victorious war.

Putins approval is at 66 or so %. The conflict is at 70%.  5% are against it.

Alex the Greek on YouTube was talking about it. I think 3rd update video. Too lazy to go through it again.

A plurality of Russians were for the LNR/DNR recognition according to one poll. A slim plurality - like 45 to 40. Another poll put the amount of Russians supporting that at a much higher level.

How many Russians do you think are for all this shit going on?

Putin is going to have to pull a bunny rabbit out the hat. Don't see how, but we'll see what happens.

On other hand all my Russian friends were supportive of DNR/LNR recognition, like literally all. But of this war...literally noone is fully supportive.

If your Russian friends live in the West, then I guess they are only protecting themselves from being canceled ie losing their jobs by not commenting on the situation. In the college I am attending here in Canada, Pro-Ukrainian propaganda is being promoted by the school administration

My question would be whether was there control of the whole Ukraine planned or only the  eastern part?  

I mean Kiyev - Transdnistria line? And then years of organic work to denazify population. Even non nazi can be grown up with anitRussian propaganda sold as history. It would be hardest part...

BTW  Check out Polish wiki about Azov battalion. Of Urko patriots. They forgot to update their code of arms and kept the one form 2014.

and now check SS  das Reich code of arms. Just coincidential.

50,000 men. That is surprisingly low. People cannot expect this number of soldiers to take over a country the size of Ukraine at a pace
they want. The number of troops implies to me that Russia is expecting lots of local support. And we do have evidence that locals
are feeding intel to the Russian forces. Of course, there are civilians who are not happy with the invasion.

My guess is they will take the whole thing. Too dangerous to leave uncontrolled territory where opposition can rally. They will go right to the border and assume control of the border

yet resources you need to control this... the whole generation of Ukrainians was brought up in antiRussian manner. So many potential guerillas saboteurs were surely prepared anticipation what will happen.

Im sure thet chances were carefully examined by Russian govt before repelling Ukro aggression.
