sexpig by night posted:Yea obviously not literally every Russian asset will leave but considering the bulk of the 'invasion force' we're supposed to be scared of is those soldiers on exercise when they leave they won't exactly be in ~attack mode~ any more. Also, Russia and Belarus are already part of Union state and have been progressively when growing closer anyway. Either way, I think this thing is also just stupid in terms of strategy. I mean as all this effort has been pushed into Russia for months, China is only stronger than ever and has strengthen its alliance with Russia. Not to mention a general waste of resources that has done nothing for uniting NATO. If anything the splits in the West has gotten worse and even Kiev is starting to bite back. Also, it doesn’t seem this is going to just end either. Ardennes has issued a correction as of 23:05 on Feb 16, 2022 |

Ardennes posted:Also, Russia and Belarus are already part of Union state and have been progressively when growing closer anyway. I'm pretty sure it's driven more by Russiagate grivances and living in a Beltway world than any coherent strategy combined with panic on the domestic front. Even a strategy attempting to fight a two front war would at least try to allocate attention and resources towards easy winnable fights rather than picking a fight with both and giving Russia and China good reasons to stay buddy buddy with each other.

I would say also the issue is just devoting so much time and effort to what is to be honest, a minor “front.” Even if DC has a dream of putting intermediate missiles into Ukraine, I have no idea who in NATO would back them on the issue and the real battle is being loss in Asia anyway. The US is simply pivoting itself into circles at this point.

Nah the actual lesson is that you can Cry Wolf if you're able to flood newspapers with propaganda that the wolves are about to eat you in the indeterminate future. Shepard boy should've just bootstrapped and brought a printing press smh.

It's also potentially (but not necessarily) indicative of media consumption. Moscow-oriented media sticks with the pejorative usage, so folks who are quick to downplay Russia's belligerence while centering complaints about the West and Ukraine will often go with the language they hear most.

genericnick posted:Did they devote a lot of time and effort? Did they even do anything except cry into a microphone and drop a few tons of RPGs? It is tying naval assets and now some land assets as well, admittedly I don’t think Russia wouldn’t be able to handle them but it is resources that may be tied up in the long term. That said, the bigger deal is probably rifts in NATO itself which are going to have far greater repercussions. Palladium posted:there's sure a lot of flailing and pussyfooting around from a supposedly invincible nation with twice the budget alone spend on cops than the entire Russian military Admittedly, it speaks more to how bloated police budgets are in the US than Russian capabilities. Russia’s military is clearly in much better shape than it once was and could do what the West fears…it just doesn’t make sense for them to do so.

Raskolnikov38 posted:dont miss the education section which legalizes only EU languages for education, of which russian is not one There's also the fact that nearly half the country has just openly outlawed Russian music/video media/written literature entirely, it's nearly impossible to legally produce Russian language literature in the country and illegal to import Russian books on a commercial scale at all, and every year they outlaw on the national level more and more Russian books which they justified by starting with Dugin, fair enough, but have expanded to basically any random thing they can claim is undermining Ukrainian identity. Like the memoirs of Vladimir Vysotsky, a Soviet musician famous for building relationships with foreign musicians whose family were Kiev natives, specifically those compiled by his Armenian film-making/drinking buddy. I'm not sure how precisely they think its destroying Ukraine, but I'm also not an ethno-fascist.

The thing is there are trying to “bully” their way and it is making a complete mess of things to the point they are actively putting themselves in a weaker position. I don’t think it is having that much of an effect on polling either, especially since inflation is going to be continue to be brutal though 2022.
