Not trying to Clancychat or anything, but if things were going badly for Russia, would they resort to using a nuke to break up the Ukraine resistance, since NATO isn't involved? (USER WAS PUT ON PROBATION FOR THIS POST)

khwarezm posted:Would we have reason to assume they have their full capacity? We do not have any good reasons. There are various modifications (for instance, airborne hospital), and the troop transporters have various deck configurations, depending on the composition of people and vehicles that they're transporting. This is entirely guesswork, and I would eyeball total civilian losses using 100 (pulling this out of my rear end, but with some sophistication).

NATO would immediately get involved upon the detonation of a nuke in Ukraine as would literally every other country. That’s like the one thing that could even remotely lead to the China taking Siberia clancychat from earlier

Omon Ra posted:Yeah, this is absolutely a "masks off" moment for zealous American leftists. No better than the extreme right, just bloodthirsty, clueless morons all around. It has, quite literally, been this way forever. American leftists, particularly in the educated professional class, form every single global affairs position by starting from "The west is bad and evil" and work their way backward from that, rather than taking into consideration almost anything else. I have lost an absolutely astounding amount of respect for people in my personal social circles over the last few days simply because of this. It's disheartening as hell to watch while Ukrainians fight and die for rights and liberties these people have had and take for granted their whole lives, while listening to them spout the disinformation peddled by their murderers with no irony whatsoever.

cinci zoo sniper posted:Russian VDV brigades, strictly speaking, are DShB. I thought it was obvious that I'm using "VDV" as a generic shorthand for "air assault forces". DHsV is an acronym is Ukrainian, VdV in Russian. Russian airborne forces are Vozdushno-desantnye voyska Rossii. What is is DShB? We are using the same unit names for different countries, making no distinction whatsoever, even if the language is different. It is pedantic at best. But it screams to me that we are playing fast and loose with terms, situations and confusing people.

It’s why American leftists are incapable of making progress in the US. The foundation of their principles is not only trash, but they are unable or unwilling to recognize they benefit from being in the US and part of that power structure in the first place. They give zero loyalty or support to their country. It’s why generic liberals and independents are at least intellectually honest and consistent. It’s just baffling watching folks twist themselves into knots trying to support Putin and Russia as the aggressors. It’s just one step away from “if she wasn’t dressed that way…” bullshit. I can deal with the qanon stuff, that’s obvious disinformation and folks are falling for it. But when you have self proclaimed leftist thinkers who gobble up Kremlin propaganda, I just don’t know how to tell them their brains are broken. It just seems like maybe they should spend some time in an actual oppressed country so they can be thankful they can whine about things on Twitter without being murdered in their sleep.

I'm actually impressed that Zelensky is still in Ukraine. That takes guts, and he's probably going to suffer for it. Considering his background he's doing about as well as can be expected in this sort of situation.

Cirvot posted:I feel like it's worth pointing out again that leftists being pro-Putin is not a thing in Europe. The only Putin support you will find there is among the far right shitheads. This is absolutely not true sadly. I have seen a fair of Danish leftist being pro Putin and Denmarks most leftwing newspaper "Arbejderen" [the worker] have bent over backwards to explain why the invasion was in fact the united states and Nato's fault. The majority on the left aren't supporting Putin, but there are definitely parts that are pro anything that opposes the u.s. including being pro Putin and pro Assad for that matter.

The only explanation I can think of for where these apologists come from is that people really can't process the idea that being against one thing, in their case American imperialism, does not mean that the opposing side is suddenly your best friend. In simpler words, Tankies are baffling in their stupidity. "gently caress YOU DAD"

KitConstantine posted:Russians trying to take another airport, hard to say how it's going Like we were discussing yesterday, this is literally a capital offense under the current Geneva Protocols. Doing one of these tasks would put someone in the "Spy or Saboteur" category of unlawful combatant and--not a comment on the right or wrongness of it--Ukrainian soldiers would be within their rights under the Geneva Conventions to shoot you right there and then if they caught you. Hell of a thing to risk for from 35 cents to $3.25.
