quite a few red and black flags too, and knowing the ukraine I have high doubts that it's a reference to anarcho-communism

FishBulbia posted:https://twitter.com/ClaireBerlinski/status/1485561110732419072 The whole “Hybrid Warfare” model that’s been pushed so hard in Defence circles the past 10 years means that as far as NATO policy is concerned, Armenians are an internal military threat to Turkey, the same way Russian-speakers and ethnic Russians are considered a Fifth Column in the Baltic and Ukraine. I wonder if this is a chicken or egg situation where NATOs assessment of these communities are the result of the politics of the countries we let into NATO, or if NATO is pushing the “threat” they pose to bind those countries closer to the alliance. Anyways, The official US doctrine assessment on Russian Warfare places all of those civilian populations next to Spetsnaz as a threat to NATO’s rear echelon and the civilian governments of those states. It’s why Poland Started up a Home Guard in eastern Poland, the Baltics now have armed militias. It’s an extremely dangerous situation, with the obvious implication you pointed out, I just can’t place whose idea this was. We’ve created a situation where “securing” these dangerous, internal enemies who are Russian weapons against the Homeland is a NATO doctrine.

lol "he made his move on this date before" as if that's ever going to be a consideration. they can't even make this bullshit sound halfway convincing actually it's that Putin is looking forward to the release of Total War Warhammer 3 and wants to take a few days to play it before he gets bogged down in invasion admin

Yeah, and France has been selling the Greeks a bunch of weapons aimed at Turkey. Honestly, I wonder if a general war happens how much of NATO would either keep its heads down or something like a Greco-Turkish conflict would drag in other members. —— Also, I guess you can armchair strategize what a Russian force would actually do, but I guess my strategy would be to. 1. Start up the conflict in Donbas to drag in the main elements of the Ukrainian army 2. Shutdown the Ukrainian Air Force/AA/command control with cruise/ballistic missile strikes 3. Hit Khakiv then Poltava in the north and Mariupol in the south 4. Have the two forces link up in Dnipro, entrapping most of the Ukrainian ground forces 5. Send a force to take Kiev as the rest of front line is in complete chaos Also, you could have smaller scale probing attacks across the country just designed to drag more Ukrainian resources from the main area of action. Hell, you could even have an assault through the exclusion zone, Russian mbts/apcs all are designed around NBC warfare and honestly there may not be a serious force between the south edge of the zone and Kiev, Ardennes has issued a correction as of 17:25 on Jan 24, 2022 |

Ardennes posted:Yeah, and France has been selling the Greeks a bunch of weapons aimed at Turkey. I thought some sort of deal was brokered after Russia sold S-300s to Cyprus? My understanding was that there was supposed to be a halt on the sale of potent weapons to the Aegean. Anything that could reach across the fence, at least. Greece and Turkey being in the same military alliance while the status of Cyprus is undetermined hasn’t really made sense to me, certainly after 1991. The comedy answer is that NATO has to deploy the Italians between them, like the Axis did to prevent the Romanians and Hungarians from fighting each other instead of the Russians.

Maybe in terms of missile systems, but the French have been arming the Greeks to the teeth recently including capital ships and jet fighters. Honestly, I have a hard time seeing either one pulling serious forces against Russia (especially the Greeks) when the other side is ready to pounce. Also, the Italians are very Russophilic at this point. The Germans are trying to get involved etc… Hell, it is a good question of what the hell NATO is at this point beyond a way to manage arms sales since most of its members have their own agendas.

Has anyone posted this yet? It's a story from a few weeks ago about the toll the US's sanctions are taking on Afghanistan: https://theintercept.com/2022/01/09/afghanistan-sanctions-human-rights-hawks/ quote:While limited humanitarian exceptions for trade have been carved out in recent weeks, the World Health Organization has already warned that up to 1 million Afghan children may die as a result of malnutrition over this winter if drastic steps are not taken. Children are already bearing the brunt of the humanitarian catastrophe, punctuated by horrifying stories of kids being sold to pay for food. And the country’s notoriously harsh winter is already taking a toll: Afghans are freezing to death as they flee the country with their families. The WHO is saying a million children could starve to death over the next few months. I wonder if this will get the same intensity of coverage in the media as Xinjiang

Agrajag posted:everyone in the world that isnt the uk going "who caaaares" also pretty telling that the UK suddenly started hyping up their involvement in Ukraine and nebulous threats to the Ukrainian government that big strong Britain will help them defeat, as soon as Boris Johnson started facing serious domestic trouble over partying during Covid lockdowns. I still think it likely that this entire situation is being wildly oversold by the Biden administration as a way to look tough internationally to combat Biden's flagging poll numbers, and now the UK is throwing their hat in for the exact same reason.

Comrade Koba posted:the ukrainian flag in the middle has a black angular thing on it, could it be some variation of the azov rune?  I did a bit more digging and it's definitely a Right Sector flag on the right, and I suspect the other red and black one is too. It looks like it could be the one with three wolves on it that they've flown a couple of variants of before (I think it's the one where they're not in a shield). They change them around a lot and the whole thing was apparently moved to a different site at one point, so it's quite hard to tell    The memorial is in a city called Avdiivka, just north of Donetsk near the airport, and it's apparently for units involved in the fighting there (I think mostly from the battle in 2017, Right Sector were also involved in taking the city in 2014 but there are photos of them there from later than that). Looking at the other photos none of the blue and yellow ones you can see the emblem on look like the Azov one and the only reference I could find to them being in Avdiivka is a paper saying they could only find one unsourced reference to them being there, so I think they're probably mostly Ukrainian army ones? Either way, probably at least two far right flags on that memorial and they're possibly still in the area. here's zelensky visiting it with the right sector flag up https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W4pGJ4qsC-o e: goona get the brown moses disease XMNN has issued a correction as of 18:04 on Jan 24, 2022 |
