Russian Invasion of Ukraine

[GTracer98]

just keep convincing yourselves that your clean but no russia is clearly invading and no one is doing anything about it what case have you seen people who want a revolution act in such a way road blocks taking over places of statigical importance

Don't fall for the western media only, get your information from both western and eastern sources, then make the conclusions yourself.

 

[ITCC_Andrew]

Or, not use sources at all... then they can't be wrong.


In seriousness, if it doesn't make sense, it is probably because it is wrong. I haven't even seen any thing claiming that Russia is in northeastern Ukraine - only in Crimea. I have easy access to western media, and I watch western news... Never mentioned there either...

Other info on twitter suggest there are more victims, though only few reports look real.
Many others reports also of people getting kiled near checkpoints before the military has arrived.
And those "federalists" frequently capture journalists, even pro-Kremlin ones.

Well, there's no single gun that couldn't be picked up from the local warehouses.
FSB or GRU picked old Soviet-made guns and delivered so many of them through the border closed by Ukraine-loyal border troops? I doubt that.

Who said they were all loyal.
It doesn't mean that all weapons were brought over from Russia, just some certain things. Or maybe not.

"SBU's version", "Russian servicemen"... okay.

BTW: a British journalist, Graham Phillips (the one from that "Turchinov, feed your soldiers, 🤬" video) reports about a price on his head ($10,000) put by Ukrainian nationalists, on his Facebook page.

But... Why is it posted in English?
Looks like something #VizitkaYarosha-style again.

 

[ITCC_Andrew]

Andrij?

Is there any special meaning to UKR? Ukraine?


That is such a generic name.... I think it is a provocateur.

 

[Rage Racer]

No, just a guy who took such ID. The name is usually transliterated as Andriy.
The twitter is real (https://twitter.com/AndrijUKR), and there are some posts in English. But I can't find that post.

Heh, yeah, that was one of the first links. The SBU version is just conspirology.

Yyyyyep. Weeeeird. He's an RT journalist isn't he?
And that Andriy is just a crazy couch-warrior. Or maybe a real warrior, but still nuts.

 

[Rage Racer]

Yes, he works for RT.

I'd say leave mainstream sources and try to find somewhat independent people from smaller media.
Of course, it's easy for me to say, cause I can read Russian and Ukrainian and said independent sources that posses info about events in Ukraine write and talk mostly in those languages.

Yes, he works for RT.

Need I say more?

Why is it people from Moscow and Riga can type better English than you can? Are you aware of punctuation?

You will not use “textspeak” (“r”, “u”, “plz”, etc.) in your messages. Decent grammar is expected at all times, including proper usage of capital letters.

I don't use punctuation because i focus on getting the words down in a readable sentence

 

[GTracer98]

But punctuation is the instrument which helps making readable sentences...

 

[ITCC_Andrew]

I don't use punctuation because i focus on getting the words down in a readable sentence

Which is not readable without punctuation.

Without punctuation, your sentences are not readable. They're not even sentences.

 

[SniperRed3]

at least one word follows one word in a manner that makes sense but if you guys are getting uspet about it and making people assume that i have the intelligence of a child I will use punctuation

 

[Rage Racer]

...military tactics...

Nothing surprising. There are some veterans of the Afghan war. And many of those people have served in the Ukrainian army when it was still good (in the Kuchma's era). They don't need to be "Russian agents" to be aware of simple military tactics.

same equipment the likeness between those in crimea and those in eastern ukraine

What equipment? Still waiting for you to answer.

and vladmir putins desire to retake the soviet states

BOARRRR! The red bear is coming for you, too! FOR TEH EMPRAH!

 

[ITCC_Andrew]

It's just polite. Long paragraphs without punctuation hurt my head. I don't think I am alone. Just commas and periods will keep you in good standing with mods, too.

 

[GTracer98]

C'mon now, it's not that difficult...

Show respect to us by accepting our remarks and making use of a useful instrument called punctuation. You yourself will be able to understand your sentences better.

 

[Nish]

I found that post it's pretty far down into the May 4th posts (A lot of posts on there). Also tons of other posts by others as well.

You will use punctuation because you agreed that you would. It is that simple.

You will not use “textspeak” (“r”, “u”, “plz”, etc.) in your messages. Decent grammar is expected at all times, including proper usage of capital letters.

That is in the terms of service that you agreed to when you joined.

Your next post will have punctuation, and capitals, in the correct places, or it will be your last.

Poor Italians...

It's very weird seeing communism and the Orthodox Church combined.

Ciro, you're not an imbecile. Putin is, at least, according to that map.

Thank you!

Putin is a mystery, I would love to hear his real thoughts on all this, maybe someone can link me a place?

 

[Dotini]

Thank you!

I will make the claim Putin is a pragmatist.

He definitely was one. But you can't rule a country for 14 years without some kinda "greater idea" in mind. Plus he's getting older. At some point the "great leader" will defeat the pragmatist. If it didn't happen already.

Soldiers in Eastern Ukraine in digital flora camouflage.

Soldiers in Crimea in digital flora camouflage.

Digital flora is used by the Russian army and no other countries.
The helmets are clearly Russian 6B7s, the assault jackets are all the same.
If they are not Russian it must have been a logistical nightmare finding such a large amount of equipment for such a vast amount of people that I personally think could not be undertaken by "Rebels".

 

[Rage Racer]

Both of these photos are from Crimea.
FAIL.

 

[ITCC_Andrew]

Those are photos from Crimea, I believe.

He's getting older, yeah. I wonder what will Russia be after his retirement. Better, worse?

We're becoming the Nazis we are talking about and May 8 is Nazi-kaput day.

Tomorrow is the 69th VE day. we should celebrate the fall of the Third Reich...
