>>2640279>muh anti imperialismThe fight against imperialism is a sham and a humbug.
Lenin, Imperialism, The Highest Stage of Capitalism
>>2641765>>2641778Because the ukraine regime has a lot of the same issues south vietnam had during the latter stage of the war. Mass corruption, loss of morale, decaying economy, running out of manpower, problematic logistics, slow loss of western support, etc etc.
Meanwhile russia while still having problems, still has the manpower, economy, and etc to maintain the war for a way longer while. It just feels like the final stages of the vietnam war where south vietnam was pretty much close to collapse and north vietnam just launched this one last offensive which kicked the whole thing down

Welcome back Karl Kautsky.
>>2640736>And now Ukraine is totally free to move the factory somewhere else and continue production. It's just like lego I assume, especially when deconstructed by hypersonic munitions.
You simply have to get over lvov not being nooked.
Also, for what it's worth, the Wikipedia page for the Oreshnik, in essentially every paragraph, makes the claim the "senior Ukrainian official" made that it's not a "real" missile anyone has to worry about and its use is just about intimidation, simply because Russia hasn't chosen to strap nooks to the MIRVs despite accepting that is a possibility for the system.
There's one mention of its kinetic potential
>A director at the Center for Strategic and International Studies said that Oreshnik's warheads, even inert, can cause "a lot of damage" because of the kinetic energy created by their hypersonic speed.
but immediately disagreed with
>Satellite images later revealed minimal damage to the roofs of Pivdenmash buildings and to the nearby private sector.
and it just swiftly changes topic back to claiming its of no tactical use and just for intimidation, completely confident the "entry wound" is the entirety of the damage caused.
>>2641832
That itself is being superseded by a new iteration of globalised specialisation. While intentionally successful in permitting the imperial core to transition to a full white collar economy and rid itself of the constant friction with internal industrial labour. It has unintentionally empowered periphery states that were outsourced to (in manufacturing or recourse supply) with enough leverage to outcompete the atrophied military industry of the core.
The post cold war market economies of the periphery are not a regression to a previous stage of capitalism as they are novel in their disproportionate hard power leverage relative to their economic size vis a vis the financial engines of western gdp.
The mayor of Lvov said the Oreshnik damage was "terrible."
If the damage were minimal, Ukraine wouldn't miss the chance to show it, but instead we get lame pictures of vintage parts, which tells me the damage is significant.
I assume that Russia trusts NATO intel to draw the correct conclusions from satellite/drone surveillance and on-site inspection and that Russia doesn't care what the public thinks, otherwise we'd get some footage of damage from Russian testing grounds.
>>2641992>united24So what does that make Ukraine in that comparison?
>>2641992Zhukov: We captured Berlin.
Gerasimov: We expect to capture Donbass this year or next.

>>2640314>fascism is capitalism in decayAre you implying that the US and EU aren't decaying? Because they pretty clearly are.
>>2642187>Putin: Not one step forward Corrected it for you.
>>2641841Yeah they have to cope. I heard that all the underground complexes of Yuzhmash were destroyed because those warheads are dense and strike deep underground. I wonder if we will ever see what's left of the underground.
>>2642268A Xitterer seemingly got satellite imagery of the plant and demonstrates roofs had collapsed which is hardly minimal, with craters visible underneath.
https://www.amerikanets.com/p/yuzhmash-and-oreshnik-demystified?utm_source=publication-searchBut what the Wikipedia article, the "senior Ukrainian official" and resident cucktinist are doing, is jumping to the conclusion that because there doesn't appear to be even a conventional explosive charge in the MIRVs, that means they're inert as in they're intentionally non-destructive.
However, the article comes to the conclusion that each "inert" MIRV probably packs the punch of a 250kg charge which is common for cruise missiles, and that has me thinking that's probably more power than you'd likely fit with conventional explosives into a hypersonic MIRV, which I assume must be pretty slim for aerodynamics.
>>2642301>The British government has identified a legal mechanism for the seizuresHow very hyper-legalist of them, is the legal mechanism for seizing ships in international waters and therefore outside of their sanctions regime that we did it all the time in the 1700s?
>>2642301And what are the countries of the workers in those fleet going to do? What about the countries who are supposed to receive that oil?

Oreshnik strike disabled Ukrainian warplane plant – Moscow>The facility in Lviv was servicing F-16s and MiG-29s, and producing drones for strikes on civilian targets inside Russia, the Defense Ministry has said<In a statement on Monday, the ministry said, citing several independent sources, that the attack successfully hit a facility which supported the operations of Ukrainian Soviet-era warplanes, including MiG-29 jets, as well as Western-supplied F-16s.>The plant also produced long- and medium-range strike drones that were “used for strikes against Russian civilian targets deep inside the territory of the Russian Federation,” officials said.https://swentr.site/russia/630857-oreshnik-targets-ukraine-warplane-factory/I'm guessing the Oreshnik was therefore used because this will likely be one of the most well defended airspaces in all of Ukraine against drones and cruise missiles, rather than a message to the west. But also I believe initially it was claimed that this was "retaliation" for the attempt at droning the Putin Palace, which if it's where long-range drones are being built, you would hope the retaliation could have come much, much sooner. In fact not even retaliation, it's just a pretty basic military target in general but likely Ukraine's most prolific.
>>2642398And now that I think of it, it's probably also the plant where MiGs get rigged up with Storm Shadows, so yeah it's a strange target to claim was attacked in "retaliation" rather than just common sense.
>>2642262Mirnograd status?
Pokrovsk status?
Huliapole status?
Siversk status?
Lyman status?
Kostiantynivka status?
Etc etc
>>2642398>>2642409There was an official MoD statement that it was retaliation. Rybar has been complaining for a long time that the retaliation targets are either (A) targets that would've been hit anyway, in which case why call them retaliation targets, or (B) targets that should've been hit anyway but wouldn't have been, in which case why not. It's been an ongoing communications problem from the beginning.
>>2642614I suppose it's a testament to how unfazed the Russian state is towards Ukraine's peremogas, that they just pass off whatever they were going to do anyway as retaliation, but I think a better narrative is just the truth; Ukraine does shit out of desperation, no one now in hindsight thinks the revenge bombing of Dresden was worthwhile, taking out Bin Laden did not solve the US' issue with radical ideologies in Afghanistan.
I think that's probably more conducive to keeping civilians satisfied than claiming stuff you ought to already be doing is a retaliation, because the apparent takeaway (based on doomer telegrams and cucktinists) is that revenge attacks are impossible rather than just undesirable and/or undesirable.
and/or an irrelevancy*
>>2642332they'll get very offended when the sailors launch lethal counter-measures.
>>2642398I don't think the Russian ministry of defense said that it was on retaliation.
>>2642262this is just materialistically cope. you can look at the maps, and know it's not true.
i thought the oreshnik hit the largest gas storage facility? did it actually hit the aircraft plant?
>>2642757Russia said: "we hit drone production facilities, energy infrastructure (the gas field) and other military-related facilities with a strike that included oreshnik". Go figure
Ukraine said: "they probably hit the aircraft plant, but even if they did it did nothing, look at this old vacuum tube lmao
Another thing we'll never know for sure until X years from now

>>2642738>>2642738>Сегодня ночью в ответ на террористическую атаку киевского режима по резиденции Президента Российской Федерации в Новгородской области, предпринятую в ночь на 29 декабря 2025 г., Вооруженные Силы России нанесли массированный удар (https://t.me/mod_russia/60186) высокоточным оружием большой дальности наземного и морского базирования, в том числе подвижным грунтовым ракетным комплексом средней дальности «Орешник», а также ударными БПЛА по критически важным объектам на территории Украины.

ok, I retract my
I don't think.>>2642769I wonder why can't Ukraine find a decent ghost writer for Agent Z who actually knows english. Or maybe it's some 5d chess where him typing in abysmal runglish is supposed to serve as proof that he's authentic or something?
>>2642769>Everything can be differentIncluding your position on NATO membership
>>2642772that's Shariy, he's being ironic, but that's how many other ukrainians actually think
>>2642769all the imperial wars are connected. the imperialists have one goal (world domination) and ukraine has chosen its side. He is a junior partner in the global imperial project playing his role and Iran is on the wrong side.
