https://twitter.com/NikaMelkozerova/status/1500879877741891589 It's kinda funny, I'm used to seeing videos of masked people in front of flags with AKs, shouting Glory to X! Death to Y! and it's the US they want to kill. Nice(?) for that not to be the case for once

It’s heartbreaking to watch regulars and conscripts get sent into the meat grinder, even Russian ones but whenever I hear about these right wing mercenary militias getting owned it’s just guilt free schadenfreude.

I'm fairly certain that shooting generals trying to unfuck the problem is actually counter productive. It's generals who created the cluster gently caress in the first place.

Yeah, it's great seeing the lines of kids and school teachers getting bread and a call home, if only there were more. But to the Wagner group, PMCs, and hardline Russian forces, my greatest hope is that you end the war in a Polish hospital accountable for your actions. But dead is an ok second choice too. cult_hero fucked around with this message at 07:04 on Mar 8, 2022 |

Radical 90s Wizard posted:Mods wipe this if you think it's stirring poo poo up, but Smeg, I'm genuinely curious to hear what point you think you're making here? All the the self congratulatory stuff and rah rah stuff is pretty hollow because we were happy to create the conditions the led to this and sure don’t have any problems doing imperialism or violating other nation’s right to self-determination ourselves. Just ask half of Latin America. And I don’t think or trust our leaders to “solve” it. The person I responded to blamed the “anti-interventionist left” and if you want to look beyond the person immediately responsible for these atrocities which is indisputably Putin, then maybe the people who gutted what was left of the economies of the countries that now seem to be a problem might be to blame.

Just ask half of Latin America. And I don’t think or trust our leaders to “solve” it. You didn't read what I said at all, nor the context in which I said it. The conversation was about whether the term Tankie is still applicable today, and it absolutely is. I don't blame non-interventionists for Putin invading Ukraine, I blame Putin. But a sizeable chunk of people on the right and left wing are going out of their way to avoid assigning any blame to him or his kleptocrats whatsoever. Playing the historical blame game is all well and good (I'd start with the Russian Tsarist aristocracy and work up from there), but it's kind of the same as blaming France and Britain for World War II. Like yeah maybe the treaty of Versailles was a raw deal for Germany, but that doesn't change the fact that they invaded an entire continent and murdered millions of people in response. And it doesn't change the fact that Putin alone is responsible for what's happening right now. psydude fucked around with this message at 08:03 on Mar 8, 2022 |

https://www.businessinsider.com/putin-close-circle-russian-officials-complaining-about-ukraine-invasion-rustamova-2022-3 Allegedly, Putin didn't let anyone but his closest advisors know that they were actually going to fully invade Ukraine. Most of the rank and file politicians and bureaucrats are claiming they were under the impression it was merely posturing for negotiations.

I'm not entirely sure I follow all of what Smegma is saying, but I'd like to throw Germany's hat into that ring, because we were perfectly happy with weakening Ukraine's Position with all the Nordstreams/hose-drinking Russian oil/rolling around in Russian coal and did not think once* to do more than wag the finger post-Crimea, or during the countless "military exercises" Russia was doing on Ukraine's borders in the last couple of years. And we're currently congratulating ourselves for standing with Ukraine/uniting Europe so drat hard that it's actually physically painful. Not sure if that's what Smegma meant, but that's kinda what I'm seeing in the German media/politics discourse. Mind you, it doesn't change the fact that Putin alone is responsible for his "dream of greater Russia/invading. /edit: *yes, yes, i know there were some actions that qualify as "more than fongerwagging", but let's be honest here, we were Jonesing for them sweet Russian fossil products right up to QR of last year Duzzy Funlop fucked around with this message at 10:28 on Mar 8, 2022 |

If I'm honest, this is more of an example of where the West was lying supine while Russia rose. Germany is just the most glaring example of a NATO country happily turning a blind eye to the Eastern kleptocrats (the UK and US are also guilty of harboring tons of that sweet sweet plundered wealth). If anything, it means the West should have been more proactive in managing the post-Soviet states from a diplomatic and economic policy perspective. The DSA's statement, though, was explicitly blaming NATO for warmongering.

Latest Russian losses, according to Ukraine: https://mobile.twitter.com/MFA_Ukraine/status/1501129721500868611 Has anyone got a number for the total number of prisoners of war? Between their combat losses, captured, and deserters, they're probably closing in on having lost about 10% of their total assembled pre-invasion manpower. 300 tanks is about 30 BTGs worth, or around 25% of their total pre-invasion armor strength. No wonder Wagner is already sending in Syrian mercenaries. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2022/mar/07/russia-trying-to-recruit-syrians-to-fight-in-ukraine-says-pentagon
