How many times did Russia say they were withdrawing from Syria and yet kept bombing it daily?

Grammarchist posted:A bizarre number of CHUDS are overtly adopting the narrative that Ukraine was drifting toward the EU and being corrupted or forced to adopt more friendly LGBT attitudes. Ergo, Putin needs to liberate the country to restore Christian rights. It's not particularly new, but it's still weird to see offline. Chuds and the Russian government have basically the same stance on everything.

CommieGIR posted:I mean, the EU does tend to push back on a lot of anti-LGBT stuff (this is happening with Poland and Hungary iirc). So for once, CHUDs not wrong, but also: on the side of the oppressors. So still wrong. This speaks more to the west/east divide in the EU. Eastern EU countries tend to be more homophobic, mysognystic, and authoritarian. So naturally they align more with Russia and American conservatives.

Rodiel posted:turky was strait up fighting the us airforce in syria Did this really happen? I'm not saying you're lying I'm just curious about it. Do you know any source for this? I know multiple air forces have been flying over Syria for years now so it wouldn't surprise me if something accidental happened but I've never heard of the Turkish airforce intentionally firing upon US planes.

I wonder if the wests strategy to prevent an invasion is to constantly have high level talks with the Russians even if they don't think any breakthrough will happen. Like from what I understand Antony Blinkon is supposed to meet Lavrov in Europe later in the week. My guess is that Russia won't greenlight any invasion while talks like that are ongoing. So inevitably when those talks fail, someone like Macron or whoever can just engage with Putin again yet another round of last minute talks and keep this cycle going as long as possible.

Betty Wight posted:I really hope the west decides to skip the rest of the bullshit and just start putting troops in Ukraine. Russia doesn’t have the troops or resources to fight a protracted multi front war and Putin won’t use nukes as long as Russia itself isn’t invaded. Do you want WW3 because that's how you get WW3.

Betty Wight posted:You can’t do nothing with fascist dictators! How many times do we have to learn this lesson as a species? When a fascist dictator decides to start grabbing poo poo, it’s time to do something about it. Putin is a thug that needs to be dealt with. Don’t invade Russia but make Ukraine a hard stopping point. Make him grind his army to dust in the Donbas. You really need to lay off the call of duty. Should the west be flooding Ukraine with weapons to defend themselves? I think so. Should the west send actual military units to fight the Russians in Ukraine? Hell no unless you want to possibly see American cities wiped out.

Something I'm kind of worried about is if Russia starts moving west in Ukraine and has air superiority over the country then they might start targeting weapons shipments from the west. If a Russian mig shoots down an American or EU transport plane full of weapons that's going to be a really big escalation.

Like even if he is a good source it's not like people know who the hell he is so at least tell us who he is or it's functionally worthless. But anyway it's good news.

If everything that I have been reading about the Ukrainian airforce over the last 24 hours is true then I have to say that for an airforce that probably no longer exists they did one hell of a job with what they had.

Boris Galerkin posted:1. Why are Turkish drones bombing Russian tanks? Someone posted a tweet some pages back. I guess the question is more along the lines of (if true) why is Turkey directly intervening when the rest of the world won’t? 1: Turkish made drone. Not controlled by the Turks. And that particular video was probably not in Ukraine. 2: At this point Ukraine will probably take whatever help they can get. I can't speak for other countries but I believe for Americans it's very legal to engage in war tourism.

Man this is nuts. It's crazy how fast the world changes. Like if you told me 20 years ago that in 2022 the biggest geopolitical crisis would be in Eastern Europe I'd think you're crazy. Hell if you told me that even 10 years ago I wouldn't believe it. The US was so knee-deep in the the middle east and the war on terror for so long it just seemed like that part of the world would be global flashpoint forever. So many times I have watched news broadcasts from Baghdad with bombs blowing things up I never in a million years thought I'd see that same kind of imagery in downtown Kiev. Even after the Russian invasion of Crimea and Donbas in 2014 I really never thought they'd go any further than that. But here we are.
