Originally posted by Elbow so basically what the US sent into Iraq
except Russia has half the population the US does, so it deployed twice as many troops relative to that figure
in what sense is that "fairly small"
it's fairly small in comparison to the size of the Ukrainian military and paramilitaries at the beginning of the war
the US immediately destroyed all infrastructure (military and civilian) and relied heavily on uncontested air superiority, and Saddam wasn't supported economically and militarily by the entire western world (either time) so I don't know what you're even trying to say hereThe following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire! -

Originally posted by Elbow Wow, how'd the Russians end up administrating?
"So much could have been avoided if Ukraine simply bent over and grabbed their ankles like a good little whore" is such cucked bullshit. Seoinínism at its finest, honestly. Wouldn't wanna fight for unification or anything, best to just let the English have the north, eh? Pathetic.
don't be gay
1. the Ukrainian government was effectively overthrown in a US-backed colour revolution, in no small part thanks to powerful oligarchs and military-intelligence commanders being bought or blackmailed
2. Kiev moves to strengthen ties with aggressive western powers, considers NATO membership and stationing strategic weapons
3. the Eastern regions (LDNR) wanted none of it, largely because the EU accession attempts (the major 'carrot' that encouraged the Euromaidan and never really existed) forced them to invalidate their mineral trading contracts with Russia and destroyed their local economies
4. Kiev tried to bomb them into submission for years, eventually agreeing to stop and give them a degree of sovereignty in front of multiple international guarantors, but never actually taking any steps they agreed to
5. the agreement was a ruse from the start, Russia got sick of waiting and absorbed the LDNR
6. "oh no Russia's attacking us for no reason"The following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire! -

Originally posted by Donald Trump Does that mean the next phase is imminent? How long do you think it will be?
I think it was delayed because getting all the mobiks to the front was taking longer than expected; they'd planned on getting the full 300k by mid December but it was sitting at around 200k at the end. not sure what the number is now. Ukrainian intelligence agencies claim that a wider mobilisiation is in the works but given how things are going, it seems more like an attempt at demoralisation than anything else.
Prigozhin's making a big deal of Wagner alone taking Soledar (and he appears to have a lot of pull with the military), so I think he's pushing the main force to hold back until Wagner can prove how big and tuff they are by taking Bakhmut. we'll probably see the new offensive once they either succeed or get embarassed.
who knows though really, it could kick off in an hourThe following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire! -

It won't make any difference now. Russia are stacking up in Belarus in preparation of their big zerg rush offensive to cut Ukraine in half.

Originally posted by Number13 Didn't china just make a breakthrough on chips too?
I'm not sure, I haven't been keeping track
this is different though - China's been trying to compete on the commercial market and sell internationally, Russia's trying to cut dependence on international supply chains (that they keep getting cut off from) for their core industries. they recently cancelled the project to work together with China to build a passenger plane because China relied on external manufacturers for some of the components they were contributing.
anyway, this explains why Russia can keep manufacturing modern weapons and hasn't 'run out' after multiple waves of strikes, and exposes the 'they're cannibalising washing machine chips' as the retarded cope it is, as if it even made sense in the first placeThe following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire! -

2022-12-27 at 6:07 AM UTC in Military Genius Zelensky wants Ukrainians to throw molotovs at Russian tankshttps://twitter.com/medvedevrussiae/status/1607487338401206273?s=46&t=Rrlp_gQfv20DSzLbuFBMig
Medvedev's Crystal Ball:1. Oil price will rise to $150 a barrel, and gas price will top $5.000 per 1.000 cubic meters
2. The UK will rejoin the EU
3. The EU will collapse after the UK’s return; Euro will drop out of use as the former EU currency
4. Poland and Hungary will occupy western regions of the formerly existing Ukraine
5. The Fourth Reich will be created, encompassing the territory of Germany and its satellites, i.e., Poland, the Baltic states, Czechia, Slovakia, the Kiev Republic, and other outcasts
6. War will break out between France and the Fourth Reich. Europe will be divided, Poland repartitioned in the process
7. Northern Ireland will separate from the UK and join the Republic of Ireland
8. Civil war will break out in the US, California. and Texas becoming independent states as a result. Texas and Mexico will form an allied state. Elon Musk’ll win the presidential election in a number of states which, after the new Civil War’s end, will have been given to the GOP
9. All the largest stock markets and financial activity will leave the US and Europe and move to Asia
10. The Bretton Woods system of monetary management will collapse, leading to the IMF and World Bank crash. Euro and Dollar will stop circulating as the global reserve currencies. Digital fiat currencies will be actively used instead
most are possible, if extreme
1. Oil and gas prices will explode given the 'price caps' effectively just give preferential treatment and resale ability to the Asian and Turkish markets.
2. EU, specifically Germany's production capacity is decimated thanks to cheap Russian gas no longer being available, it's entirely possible the UK will leverage its way into becoming a 'preferential partner' or something to exploit that void
3. Requires too many preconditions to really predict; IF the UK returns in some capacity they'll want to keep their currency, and IF they're directly able to exploit the void in industrial production, that will probably make their currency the primary store of value in the bloc
4. Poland's been floating this idea for a while now, once the Ukrainian state/military apparatus is exposed as totally hollow it is very likely Russia will take much of the East, Poland will take the West and Ukraine will exist as a much smaller rump state.
5. I don't really know about this. I guess he assumes that the UK will take over as the first state in the EU, and Germany will break away and take some of Eastern Europe with it? I don't really see how this could happen.
6. As above, too many preconditions. I don't think Germany will be capable of breaking away and starting a 'new EU' for a long time, especially not in this coming year.
7. If UK takes the reigns of the EU, they'll either be powerful enough to ensure it doesn't happen or too powerful to care. I think the former is more likely.
8. Tough call. Given political divides I would've expected some level of conflict to have already come to pass, but as it stands living standards are too high. People aren't typically willing to fight for anything if food is so easily accessible that something like 40% of the country have turned into 200kg+ behemoths. Losing the dollar as a reserve currency and the ability to manipulate financial markets will turn this on its head though.
9. I think maybe this is an oversimplification. Too much of existing financial activity is backed by nothing, and enormous sectors of western markets do not correspond to any sort of real production. If 10 is correct (and it will be, maybe not this coming year but it is a matter of time) then entire markets will evaporate and speculators will have to move to markets that are primarily about production rather than nebulous, overvalued 'services'.
10. After WWII the US was effectively able to dictate global monetary policy to its own benefit because all other industrial bases had been decimated. Up until now they've been able to use that power, specifically the USD as a reserve currency allowing them to sell their debt and using instruments like the IMF to control the industrial development of potential rivals, but countries like Russia, China and India have now been able to develop to a point where they can do business outside of that architecture, specifically being able to trade materials directly and/or to use their own currencies. As this proliferates, it weakens the US' (and the west in general's) hold and their competitive advantage, forcing them to play by the same rules as everyone else. After 70 or so years of relying on their ability to rig the system, they do not have the base to compete anymore and will need to rebuild a LOT.The following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire! -

Originally posted by Number13 That largely depends on how far they can see and how well, Russia have been having trouble with not enough thermals though they're relatively cheap for private purchase now in the west so we'll see.
tanks and artillery? both sides have been using cheap drones with good quality cameras to control and adjust fire
the kind of cheap thermal imaging that's become popular is questionable for infantry use, let alone surveillance or targeting over kilometresThe following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire!
