Are there actually lefty/tankie types trying to defend and justify the invasion or is it just a minority of broke brain freaks? I'm scared to look.

FizFashizzle posted:It's possible they feared doing so earlier would be used as a pretext by Russia to move even more quickly and end hopes of a diplomatic solution. Probably a lot of lying to themselves that this can't possibly happen.

I agree with you, I'm not describing it late from a blame perspective - my intent is to just underscore the disparity between the factual timeline and the Ukrainian self-assessment for how long it takes them to mobilize people. On this issue, I'm in the camp of people saying that Russia would've used mobilization as a pretext.

coelomate posted:This is a good question. I am naively hopeful that in addition to nation state sanctions, large corporations will apply meaningful pressure on their own as a response. If Microsoft disabled Windows from being able to activate in Russia, their offensive will collapse. Amazon cloud storage too. Zukerberg will continue to make the world worse anyway.

If you look hard enough, you can find someone who believes in any given position no matter how stupid That said I really have not seen any leftist support of the invasion. This is one of the most nakedly pointless military moves in recent history and anyone justifying it is going to have to twist themselves into crazy pretzel knots

With Russia open invading a European democracy, I would have thought we'd see more immediate economic action from EU. I know the pipeline was put on hold days ago but I've seen nothing else.

Also this war really does seem to be the closest thing we have had in a while to where there is one good side. The Ukranians just want their country and to live in peace, and this action by Putin is universally being seen as horrific across the globe, with the exception of extremely online chuds and brain-dead tankies, is refreshing to see

Pook Good Mook posted:They should legit just seize Russian properties around western Europe, pile up all the belongings inside into the town square, and burn them on the BBC. Burn every yacht in Nice down to the waterline. Make it clear that no Russian should ever feel comfortable buying a townhouse in Kensington ever again. Why? Just more propaganda from the other side and needless destruction? Or they could seize those same assets and retain their value. Either way, it won't make a difference to the owners.

FishBulbia posted:I'm not exactly gleeful about this either I'm saying the video looks more to me that the armour is shelling apartment buildings, if you check the end of it. Even if people in those buildings are shooting at tanks, which would be at the very least supported by the automatic fire staccato in the video, shotting back with your armoured APC doesn't reflect well on Russian troops.

First peer to peer war of the 21st century, that's for sure. At this point I've given up on any twitter report that isn't directly confirmed by the Ukrainian military, and even then , only if there's video.FishBulbia posted:https://twitter.com/teaktreeturmoil/status/1496869993249599496?t=w2w0NSQFw-nyJgr59t9-iw&s=09 That's the definition of a human shield, I really hope they didn't get all their neighbors killed at the end there.

BoldFace posted:If America has been hiding some cyber warfare nukes in their sleeves, now might be a good time to deploy them. That's an unbelievably stupid idea, and you have no idea what kind of damage Russia could do to American infrastructure if a cyberwar starts. It's not quite as dumb as actively sending combat troops to defend Ukraine, but people would very likely die if the US and Russia started attacking each other's infrastructure too.
