That's not true, it's not like On The Beach. If you live in the global south you won't die from the bombs. There will be economic collapse as a third of the global GDP disappears but this just means there will be unprecedented opportunity for people's war and a new revolutionary wave. The strongman govts rely on American military to oppress the people, without it they are nothing. So basically, if you're a leftist you should embrace nuclear war (USER WAS PUT ON PROBATION FOR THIS POST)

also lol i just saw this https://www.rferl.org/a/ukraine-sbu-responsible-killing-banker-russian-intelligence/32235780.html quote:KYIV -- Ukrainian security agents were responsible for killing a Ukrainian banker who reportedly served as a crucial information conduit and negotiator with Russia in the run-up to last year's invasion, a top intelligence official said. even RFERL says ukraine killed their own negotiator. of course they don't delve into why he was killed beyond a vague "WSJ says he was being investigated by the SBU for passing along info!" but it still more than what i expected

the mindset of Ukraine expressed in these articles (and we've read variations of it all the way going back to last year when the idea of a far off offensive with NATO trained troops first started getting thrown around) is so bizarre to me.. The idea that you can do your offensive, get whatever territory you can grab, and then that's when you pick up the phone to start negotiating.. The sentiment that's been expressed is "we'll start negotiating when we are on the front foot / Russia feels threatened" but when does Russia feel more threatened? after you've already expended all your energy in the offensive and the front has died down into another stalemate / Russia re-takes the initiative and starts pushing forward again, or is it before the offensive happened when Russia has to weigh getting peace arranged against the threat of having to face down a large army with freshly provided NATO equipment that's been training to fight for half a year? If you wait till after the offensive is over to start negotiating doesn't that run the risk of having the offensive blow up in your face and you end up in a much worse position for negotiations than you would have been otherwise? It's crazy to me that nobody in the west is advising Ukraine to a different course of action.

I've checked before and my house and workplace are both squarely in the blast zone, where they'll be instantly reduced to rubble if a nuke's detonated over my city. So at least I won't need to worry about slowly dying from burns, or radiation sickness.

crepeface posted:also lol i just saw this I remember reading from somewhere 2 body guards of the negotiator were killed and they were buried with honor. But reading this article that could be a false rumor because the detail of the killing probably were retold by the 2 body guards. Now that Zelensky has already changed the management in SBU, we kind of know who did it but still don't know if CIA was involved in the killing. stephenthinkpad has issued a correction as of 09:48 on Jul 1, 2023 |

I just saw a guy in the banya covered completely in political tattoos. He had many variations of the sonnenrad, for example with axes or guns as the individual "spokes". Didn't get around to asking him if he's from Ukraine.

tazjin posted:Mr. Green is doing his own sanctions now Picking fights with Georgia and Kazakhstan seems just stupid in all honesty. ------------ Btw, as far as aircraft that were shot down/destroyed by the Ukrainians go, they actually had a few hundred aircraft before the war; only about 70-80 were 4th g generation fighters, but in terms of raw numbers, there was a wide variety of other aircraft, from attack planes to transports to trainers. It is more of less the same for helicopters. It wasn't actually small in terms of personnel. Also, the Ukrainians had naval aviation and the ground force had its own choppers, which explains a little more about the longevity of the AFU in the air coupled with the fighters they were getting from the West. However, the question is if 10-40 older F-16s would make a critical difference or just sort of keep the Ukrainians in the air for another month or so before they mostly go down to attrition. Also, one advantage the Ukrainians have been having is at least their current Soviet fighters and attack aircraft can be broken down for storage, allowing them to fly from one reserve field/highway and they land in another (and then store their fighters in a forest/camouflaged hanger somewhere else). It is a lot more difficult with the F-16 which can't be broken apart and needs more substantial facilities, which means they are significantly more vulnerable on the ground even if they have somewhat better radar/EW systems in the air.
