Sinteres posted:If the US really thought Putin was inching toward considering nuclear options, the appropriate thing to do would be to de-escalate our involvement in the war, not to escalate our own nuclear preparedness. The US does not think Putin is inching toward considering nuclear options. Well there are two schools of thought on this. One is: if you back down because he’s convinced you he will use nuclear weapons, you will never be able to stand up to him again, because you will have taught him he can nuclear blackmail anything he wants.

Willo567 posted:Why are people so convinced Putin is going to launch a nuclear strike over loving Ukraine and sanctions? Why is everybody so freaked out about the lizardmen launching an orbital bombardment of Europe? There are currently, as far as we know, no signs of the lizardmen preparing an orbital bombardment of Europe. If there will.be signs of the LIZARDMEN BOMBARDING EUROPE FROM ORBIT, it will be announced beforehand. Everybody needs to chill and calm down, a LIZARDMEN BOMBARDMENT OD EUROPE FROM ORBIT would be horrifying, yes, but it's not happening, you hysterical freaks need to calm down

i get that everyone including myself hopes that putin will be deposed or killed by his own people or a palace coup or something but i also think its very unlikely that this will actually happen and shouldnt be counted on. i keep seeing people posting this or that oligarch protesting but i don't think it means much honestly. putin has embarrassed himself but he can probably keep up the war for a much longer time, i hope the negotiations will be taken seriously with an eye to ending the war sooner

How do the Ukrainians even manage to keep their people consistently supplied? I mean it looks like the troops have a random mishmash of NATO kit (good because it’s interchangeable) But you also have them carrying RPG-7s, captured Russian gear, AKs and AR pattern rifles.

TheRat posted:Isn't this explicitly a violation of the geneva convention on treatment of prisoners of war? Hmm, it's a little bit of a wobbly area. You have the right to be protected from 'public curiosity' (s.13(2)). But you don't have a right to phone home, only to write within one week of being captured. So 'you can make a phone call, but the deal is we get to record you' is probably a legitimate offer you can make. Prisoners are allowed to waive their own rights. e: I'd draw an analogy with interrogation. Prisoners have the right only to provide identifying information. That doesn't mean you aren't allowed to ask them other questions and offer inducements to provide answers. Alchenar fucked around with this message at 18:40 on Feb 27, 2022 |

TulliusCicero posted:Was this the goon squad that the Chechen atrocity guy billed as special forces, who were offering money essentially for Ukranian scalps? Yes. Note that no-one is particularly afraid of the Chechen forces as line troops. The reason their arrival causes reactions is that they have a reputation of spending the last 20 years raping, pillaging and torturing civilians, and if they had been placed in occupation duty it would likely have gotten very nasty very quickly. Instead, the Russians are sending them into the fray, which honestly works out really well for all involved. PharmerBoy posted:I interpreted that post as if you use GPS to know where you are, the US can k ow where you are as well. GPS does not work like that. The receiver is entirely passive, and just listens to the signals the satellites make. No-one can remotely locate a gps receiver. US has the ability to mess with the system, with measures ranging from reducing precision to turning it off to spoofing the signals so that locks in some areas will be miscalculated to be at some wrong location. However, this has severe consequences because it would also mess with the normal operation of the system for people on about third of the earth's surface, so it's unlikely they will actually do it. The comedy option is that Russia is known to jam GPS out of principle in areas they are operating. The soldiers might no have working GPS because Russia is jamming it. zone posted:https://twitter.com/IAPonomarenko/status/1497945813330411527 Only exactly what their state propaganda has been feeding them. Concerned Citizen posted:No, it is definitely still true. One important aspect is that Ukraine must defend every axis of the attack to prevent a strategic collapse. They aren't. While Russian losses are mounting in Kyiv and Kharkiv, the situation in Mariupol is critical. Concerned Citizen posted:The destruction of Ukrainian forces there, the best equipped Concerned Citizen posted:and most experienced in their military, This is legitimately a loss. If I was them, I'd have already started pulling off experienced officers and NCOs to form the cadre of new formations. But I don't think you understand the numbers. The army in the east is 60k men strong. They are doing full mobilization, the size of the manpower pool fit for military service is ~7 million. They can afford to be picky, and still raise an army literally larger than all the men in arms that Russia has, just from the western half of the country. Ukraine alone could never do this, because what would they equip them with? But suddenly there is an answer to that question. Tuna-Fish fucked around with this message at 18:41 on Feb 27, 2022 |

Tomn posted:Assuming the info about where the missile came from is accurate, what the hell's the point? Why bother? What incredibly critical military target is worth wiping your rear end with peace talks before they've even begun in full view of the world? Almost tempted to wonder if this was accurately identified just because it seems so pointless but there's a lot about this war that seems bloody pointless so idk Peace talks are for domestic audience only, to paint themselves as reasonable. They do not intend to seriously negotiation anything substantially different from the preceding ultimatum.

They can still close the straits to non-Black Sea Fleet warships; and furthermore, if the Turks decide that the Black Seas Fleet is in violation of one of the treaties other provisions, for example maximum allowable tonnage for naval fleets by Black Sea states in the Black Sea, they can close the straits legally to warships Russia has anointed part of her Black Seas Fleet.
