That 98% vote was totally legit. Totally.


The annexed territories are ethnically Russian. They speak Russian. They are Orthodox Christian. They have been getting bombed by Kiev since 2014. Yeah I believe 98 percent voted for Russia reunification

smells like paid Russian bot as he is offensively pro-Russian

I just annexed the rest of the houses on my street. It's legit because I say so. Also, I peed in their bushes. They're mine. They have to move out now. They voted to leave. I have their votes in my pocket. They say they didn't vote but they did.
Well did you have the homeowners agree to it and shake hands with you??


Totally. They can't prove they didn't.
We have pics of the leaders of the territories annexed.

You mean the original leaders from before Russia invaded or the ones that Russian occupation forces appointed after they invaded and much of the pre-war population relocated?

And, who is "we"?

Apologies if repost, but holy cow that crew and infantry is lucky!



That being said, immediate disembark, takes cover, returns fire in the direction of the assault for other crew to get out.

These seem like reasonably well trained Ukrainians.

This right here is the troll post. Start here and work forward.

As much as I despise the mods for banning me for saying "shut up" to another poster. I do think something needs to happen here. This is a good thread and it's getting overrun right now.

Let's not derail the thread. It's fantastic.

Here's the % of votes in the 1991 Independence Referendum for each oblast. Crimea was the only oblast close to 50%.

When even the Russian state media is starting to freak out about how the war is going, I'm not sure you can saw supporting Ukraine is supporting a lost cause.

And don't be daft, the chances Russia pulls the nuclear card are still low. Maybe higher than earlier this year, but they know doing so is a zero win situation for them.

So the Ukes couldn't hold the line initially. Is there a real danger that they overstretch themselves as they take back territory? The Russians don't seem competent enough to launch a counter counter, but still.

New York, Ukraine.

I figured it was a goof. It's a tough language to follow.

Quote:

The settlement first appeared on maps in 1846 under its original name of New York and was then situated in the Yekaterinoslav Governorate of the Russian Empire. The wife of one of the founders was from the United States.The precise origin of the settlement's name is unclear. According to official data, in 1859, the village consisted of 13 households, 45 male residents, 40 female residents, and a factory and was formally named Oleksandrivske.

German-speaking Mennonites bought the settlement in 1889, and in 1892, formed the colony of New York from seven settlements. The town used to thrive through its industry, but it fell into decline after World War I.In 1941, all Germans still living in New York were deported to Kazakhstan. On 19 October 1951, by decree of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the Ukrainian SSR, the village was renamed Novhorodske

Always a danger for any attacking force. However, for it to really matter I'd assume a force of at least minimum several hundred Russians would be needed to actually threaten anything strategically. That would require coordination and supplies. Neither of which the Russians seem to be capable of. Plus a body of men that size moving would be noticed real quick I am sure and quickly targeted by indirect fire.

I just don't think the Russians are capable of anything meaningful in the immediate attack area with what we have seen to date.

Interesting article on how the Russian Oligarchs are desperately trying to negotiate with the EU, UK, US and other countries to get there frozen assets back. The article says it's very unlikely to happen unless these people denounce the war publicly ( against Putins war ) and even then the sanctions are meant to help stop the war, negotiation's with the very Oligarchs that helped enable it aren't what Ukraine and the West wants. Strange situation, some or most of them just want their assets back and don't care about future Russian ties.. not sure any of this even makes any sense ?

In short many of these Oligarchs don't even live in Russia anymore and they obviously don't want the war because of the imposed sanctions on their assets from the west, they have proposed giving large sums of their money to help rebuild the Ukraine … let's see how this eventually plays out ?

This could add some heat to the kitchen .. those outlying areas are already about to boil over with the call up of all the new soldiers, especially the older men .. things may blow up quickly .. I know many people over their don't want the war, if they continue to lose even more soldiers and the oligarchs start speaking up from abroad this may get interesting fast.. let's hope Putie doesn't go nuclear

Big differences between then and now. The Ukrainians were happy to trade ground for time and inflict heavy losses in the Russians while they planned and prepared for this counteroffensive. It was a true strategic withdrawal. We gave the Ukrainians HIMARS and artillery that could match the Russians, and they used it to great effect to degrade their capabilities. The Russians also lost a lot of their best troops while Ukraine was gaining experience and better weapons.

With severely degraded logistics and heavy losses, the Russians are rolling over in many areas. The Ukrainians will be able to use natural barriers to pin the Russians and/or consolidate their gains in many areas.

It's doubtful the Russians could launch a counterattack, but even if they did, the Ukrainians are smart and seem to be well organized. They've taken a lot of ground very quickly, but they're still able to supply these units and keep the offensive going. I think they'll be fine.
