I had to jump into a work call to figure out what the hell we do with a dev team that's stuck in a country being actively invaded, so I just switched back to my Kyiv camera feed. It's really quite disconcerting when I can hear gunfire and what sounds like armoured vehicles moving, and all I can see on each of the 4 cameras is people driving around like it's a casual Sunday.

Baron Porkface posted:I was under the impression that modern jet fighters do not "see" their dogfight opponents. A dogfight by definition is within visual range. Modern jet fighters do indeed have the capability to shoot each other down beyond visual range (and have had for many decades), but in messy real life it takes very little time for them to get very close. Even during the first Gulf war, with superior American jets and AWACS radar coverage, many of the air to air kills were with close range heatseeking missiles.

Baron Porkface posted:I was under the impression that modern jet fighters do not "see" their dogfight opponents. A "dogfight" is a close range air battle between 2 fighter jets. Generally speaking they would have see their opponent or have acute awareness of their position. However long range missiles like the AIM-120, AA-12s, etc have made close range engagements a low possibility.

If things are looking grim on the conventional war front, will Ukraine at some point start pulling men/resources out of the battles to save for insurgency stuff later?

They probably won't be able to complete general mobilization fast enough, so that might happen anyway. It's a new level of grimness to think about insurgent warfare happening between people that could be relatives.

If they're calling for civilians to prepare Molotov cocktails and recruiting child soldiers, they're already well on their way to preparing for insurgency. These things will not stop the Russian army, but they will provide lots of martyr's for the cause that will harden the feelings of the people to resist occupation.

That is perfectly okay, and likewise it is okay for you to keep sharing your opinion - my view is just that it’s not constructive to call far reaching conclusions from our vantage point, in many situations. Some things are evident, like fighting happening somewhere, but predictions 24 hours out should normally require more than footage selectively presented on social media.

notaspy posted:I am a little taken aback by Belarus' involvement in this. How expected was it? What sort of sanctions are they likely to hit with? How much of a complication is their involvement? I can't put into words how crazy it is for a person growing up with a Russian cultural background very much influenced by the history of the Soviet union that brotherly nations of Ukrainians and Russians with the help of Belarus are having a war Like the US invading Australia helped by new Zealand I guess I'm expecting to wake up back in 2007 from my weird rear end alcohol poisoned trip any second now

Exposing war crimes of Russia back when this started, in Syria, Yemen and now with tools people can learn to do the same for other crimes, that is used in world courts on cases of global importance, is very bad actually. He should be banned and we need more people whose contributions to humanity are living in a basement and making 200 posts per day

MiddleOne posted:The low price was accounting for possibility of the US and EU not whiffing on sanctions. They're rebounding because they whiffed. Nobody has whiffed on sanctions yet. The US and EU could have jointly announced they're cutting Russia off from SWIFT and going with a full on, Cuba/North Korea style trade embargo with Russia and the market would have bounced back today. We're 24 hours into this, sanctions don't take effect immediately no matter how much you want them. Hell, the US is currently moving additional military assets into other neighboring NATO countries - even that probably isn't done, and that can be done relatively rapidly once the order is given. This poo poo takes time, and everyone here (including myself) has been poisoned by the 24 hour news cycle and instant access to livestreams.
