cinci zoo sniper posted:I wouldn’t hold my breath about this one. I agree with concerns expressed previously by some posters, that backlash against Russian minorities in other countries may follow. For instance, in Latvia I worry that native Russia speakers will be even further ostracised from having a say in politics, on “national security concerns” grounds. Oh yeah no those Russians in Latvia and Estonia are hosed. I live in Gdansk in northern Poland and we have regular visitors from Kaliningrad, they come here for shopping. I would hope that they don't come in the weeks to follow or there might be some incidents, we're not exaclty known for our hospitality towards Russians either...

Hello Ukraine thread. I don't usually read or post here, but I think you'll be interested in this: That's Scholz confirming the quick delivery of 1000 anti-tank launchers and 500 Stingers. That will probably have some political fallout.

Count Roland posted:A no fly zone is a euphemism for war. The US has said repeatedly it won't go to war over this. Geopolitics is dumb and likes to carve out bullshit "I'm not touching you you can't tell mom" rules about what is or isn't war. The west is already doing war by way of directly supplying advanced weaponry to Ukraine... just, right out in the open. We just convinced ourselves this was not war war. So while I fully agree a no fly zone is a terrifyingly unwise escalation, I have given up assuming that's not where this could go just because it's irrational. I know that at this point Russia has shown enough weakness that an individual state might feel compelled to pledge "no fly support" knowing that Russia can't conventionally war against anyone else right now. Cool zone stuff

Someone last night did make a post here that the video was made on ship different from the supposed two vessels attacking the island. If I recall correctly, they also said that the ship where the video was filmed was in Azov Sea. I haven’t looked into that myself - just bringing it up for reference.

Trump posted:My theory is that NATO is sharing on a 1:1 ratio, with boots on the ground on a C&C level. There were absolutely British and American advisors on the ground 'training' the Ukrainians on use of the anti-tank weapon systems and stinger missiles when this started, nobody has said a gods damned thing about them since this started though. It is also pretty loving clear that Ukraine is getting a lot more 'aid' than some ammunition deliveries from NATO. I would not be the least bit surprised if NATO is absolutely 100% helping coordinate the entire defense of Ukraine though intelligence, targeting and mission profiling, and who knows what else. I would not be surprised if NATO is arming, fueling, and letting the Ukrainian Air Force operated out of Poland and Romania.

the popes toes posted:Yeah, and what's the difference, in effect, between a blockade (war war) and a full and total financial denial (not war war)? A blockade prevents anyone from trading with the belligerent, sanctions prevent those within a certain country from trading with them. So Russia is still technically free to trade with anyone who's not sanctioning them, but unfortunately (for them) most of the world financial system goes through the US and Europe.

I would because thats incredibly easy for Russia to figure out, they would have figured it out, and they would very rightly raise a huge fuss about it. I struggeled to phrase this a couple different ways but Russia would be within reason to bomb said airbases and tell NATO to pound sand.

Breaking news here in the UK is that Roman Abrahmovic has handed control of Chelsea over to their charitable foundation board of trustees. It's likely a move to avoid him getting sanctioned (and there were rumours today that Chelsea itself could go bust if that happened), by the sounds of it he'll still be funding the club but won't have any involvement with it's running (on paper).

KitConstantine posted:Chechen national guard moving in, and according to an audio leak obtained by the BBC they've been preparing for weeks. I don't really see the big deal about these guys. 10,000 of Kadyrov's gangsters being thrown into this will up the brutality, and that's a shame, but the Chechens won the Chechen wars because of home-field advantage. In Ukraine, they're out of their element. And it's not like most of them have seen this level of combat before: 2nd Chechen was 13 years ago and they've mostly been dealing with a low-level insurgency at this point. They're nothing but bullies and have never fought anyone remotely matched with them. That said, maybe Kadyrov's Chechens and Azov Battalion can fight it out and chop each others heads off. drunkill posted:Don't worry, it is mainly this guy taking them all Shades of Stalingrad and St. Petersburg where a bunch of kids collecting MG42s and MP40s.
