It's interesting how tech companies are the most rabid enforcers of western chauvinism. Like how Adobe cut Venezuela off from the lovely always online photoshop service.

Marenghi posted:I think the idea that the Soviets had machine gun emplacements to the rear ready to mow down dozens of fleeing soldiers was a bit of Hollywood fiction popularized by the movie 'Enemy at the Gates' As was the whole 2 guys get 1 gun and a couple rounds of ammo bullshit. Basically that movie *sucked*.

KomradeX posted:There's already people who will tell you Stalin was going to do a second holocaust but did before it could start This was specifically promoted by Israel and the US Israel lobby in the 60's and 70's though I don't remember the specifics e: Actually the Cold War RUSI study of the Soviet Military takes a few pages to mention, in what I would characterize as disappointment, that Jewish soldiers and officers that left the Soviet Union for Israel report no ill treatment within the Soviet military, contrary to the widespread abuses of earlier (so pre 80's I guess) defectors, who said a second holocaust was imminent.

Pener Kropoopkin posted:AfD is high on their own supply and have been riling up Polish nationalists with the exact same kind of Nazi rhetoric the post-war Christian Democrats used to say they were gonna take back Silesia. Poland just officially renamed Kaliningrad Oblast to "Krolewiec" as a based dunk on Russia or whatever. Leave it to the Poles not to realize the obvious consequences of opening that can of worms.

There was a big claim of 50% of the offensive force being knocked out of action, and another call for a “buffer zone” in Ukrainian territory. Otherwise, it seems mostly the same. He did say Russia would mobilize up to 2 million if it wanted to but I think it was more rhetorical. Also, he claimed 150,000 signed up for contracts.

I'm hearing this 50% estimate being kicked around, I think if anything it applies to the so-called "breaching force" of 3 brigades.. supposedly Ukraine is keeping 6 brigades in reserve as the force to drive the Russians back when the breach is made. Doesn't seem like it's going to get off the ground.

wonder if its trying to get the guys who are upset because Russia isn't blowing enough of Ukraine up to understand what it would mean to escalate. From what I can tell he's having to walk a balance between Russia's ultralibs that want to unconditionally surrender to NATO and the ultranationalists that want to carpet bomb Ukraine and then invade Poland.

There is a lot more than 3 brigades involved, it seems it applies to the main 9-11 brigades. The buffer zone claim indicates that the current goal is conquest but “demilitarization and denazification” along with I guess the borders of the current annexed oblasts and I guess 100-150 km buffer zone on top. I could never see Ukraine or the West signing on to that.
