>>538195i'm old enough to remember watching the Iraq invasion unfold on tv. they bombed the fuck out of baghdad and lots of other place for a while before any ground troops even came in. then the ground troops slowly made their way to Baghdad from the north and south. This went on for many days before they got to (a totally bombed) Baghdad.
The Russians did something like it here on the first night. It looked like the opening Iraq "shock and awe", but it didn't last nearly as long, and then the Russians immediately starting marching in ground troops.

>>538214Ukrainians are placing their artillery in neighbourhoods they haven't evacuated.
Remember, the Ukrainian government and their Army did not evacuate the population. The order was always "stay and fight", people have been leaving on their own. That is why the cities are still populated. That is why the Russian army isn't just barraging the cities for a day and then moving it. This is what Ukraine and their puppet masters want, videos and pictures of dead civilians, which is why they're being told to throw molotovs. If you throw a molotov and get killed, there is no rifle next to you to identify you as a combatant. If Russia wanted to conquer Ukraine, they could, they are trying to avoid killing people and want to get rid of Zelenskyy, his government and the Nazi elements in army and police. Putin has already told the Ukrainian military to seize control from Zelenskyy and then negotiate with him.

Usyk’s wife has Russian citizenship and the boxer uses Russian as his first language. On 28 April 2014, after the annexation of Crimea by the Russian Federation, Usyk declared he would never exchange his Ukrainian citizenship for Russian citizenship.[127] In 2016, responding to a question if he can still enter Crimea, he stated that he often visits his family in the peninsula; that he does not like to talk politics due to the fact that people like to take words out of context, that in Russia he has many fans and that he does not divide "our peoples because we are Slavs".[128] Afterwards, whenever pressed on the question, Usyk would often reply "Crimea belongs to God".[129]
Usyk is an Orthodox Christian. After his fight against Anthony Joshua, he said in an interview, "The only thing I wanted to do with this fight is to give praise to my Lord Jesus Christ and to say that all comes from him."[130]
Usyk urged Russian president Vladimir Putin to call off Russia's invasion of Ukraine that began on the 24th February 2022.[131]

About the closing skies:
>They closed the European skies for Russian airlines - our “all-weepers” are already crying about the “Iron Curtain”. And it’s not for us to cry, but for the Europeans. Those who need to go from Russia to Europe will still get there - through Turkey, for example, or through Finland (no one has yet canceled trains to Helsinki from St. Petersburg).
>But for Europeans to get to Asia after the Russian sky is closed for them, it will be oh how difficult. Although Russia is not a sixth part of the land, as the USSR was, it is still the largest state in the world. And all routes from European to Asian countries pass - more precisely, until recently they passed - through Russia.
>Now what? Two options: either fly through Canada and Alaska, or along the southern route - through Turkey, Transcaucasia, Kazakhstan, and so on. Both options significantly lengthen travel times and require refueling stops, additional food rations, and overflight charges. If earlier European airlines paid one country - Russia, now the same amount will have to be paid several times: according to the number of transit countries that will be able to set much more serious tariffs, feeling a monopoly. Naturally, this cannot but affect the cost of tickets, prices will rise significantly.
>Who will benefit from this? Only Asian airlines, to which no one closed the Russian sky. They will be able to offer much more competitive prices and European airlines will be flying empty very soon.
>In two or three months, European business, together with European citizens, will complain about their own governments, which, in turn, will have to somehow justify themselves, do something.
>So who ended up suffering the most from the closing of the sky? I guess the answer is obvious. As long as the Europeans do not forget the language of ultimatums and pressure in relations with Russia, nothing good can be expected from them.

>>538230Hunter Biden served on the board of Burisma Holdings, a major Ukrainian natural gas producer, from 2014 to 2019. With no knowledge of Ukraine and no experience in the energy industry, he received $50,000 a month. U.S. banking records show Hunter Biden’s American-based firm, Rosemont Seneca Partners LLC, received regular transfers into one of its accounts — usually more than $166,000 a month — from Burisma from spring 2014 through fall 2015, during a period when Vice President Joe Biden was the main U.S. official dealing with Ukraine.[2]
In March 2016, VP Joe Biden arranged for the firing of the prosecutor that was leading a wide-ranging corruption probe into Burisma Holdings[3][4]. Joe Biden threatened Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko that the Obama administration would pull $1 billion in U.S. loan guarantees, sending Ukraine toward insolvency, if it didn’t immediately fire Prosecutor General Viktor Shokin[5].
https://wikispooks.com/wiki/Biden%E2%80%93Ukraine_corruption_scandalBIDEN: So they said they had—they were walking out to a press conference. I said, nah, I’m not going to—or, we’re not going to give you the billion dollars. They said, you have no authority. You’re not the president. The president said—I said, call him. (Laughter.) I said, I’m telling you, you’re not getting the billion dollars. I said, you’re not getting the billion. I’m going to be leaving here in, I think it was about six hours. I looked at them and said: I’m leaving in six hours. If the prosecutor is not fired, you’re not getting the money. Well, son of a bitch. (Laughter.) He got fired. And they put in place someone who was solid at the time.

>Burisma Holdings is part of the vast business empire of Ukraine’s second richest billionaire oligarch, Ihor Kolomoisky. Joining Hunter Biden on the Burisma Board of Directors is no less than Aleksander Kwaśniewski, named in January just weeks before the US Kiev coup. Kwaśniewski was President of the Republic of Poland during the G.W. Bush presidency. Chairman of Burisma is a Wall Street former Merrill Lynch investment banker named Alan Apter. Finally, Burisma also at the same time named to the board Devon Archer, Hunter Biden’s partner at a US investment firm, Rosemont Seneca Partners, and a manager of the family wealth fund of Secretary of State John Kerry’s wife Theresa Heinz Kerry, widow of Henry Heinz III. Archer also sits on the board of the family’s Howard J. Heinz trust. So with these two board appointments in April, Burisma gained the son of the Vice President of the United States and the financial adviser to the family of the Secretary of State. Not bad for an almost unknown Ukraine-Cyprus company.Now it gets really interesting, though. The illegal Kiev regime on March 3 only days after their bloody coup, presumably under guidance from Nuland’s State Department, appointed Kolomoisky as Governor of Dnipropetrovsk oblast in eastern Ukraine, precisely the region where Ukraine’s shale gas deposits lie.[4] Burisma Holdings has drilling rights to just that part of eastern Ukraine in the Dneiper-Donets Basin near Kharkiv where the fiercest resistance to Kiev dictates is found.
Slavyansk is in the heart of the Yzovka shale gas field, where local residents before the February coup had staged numerous protests against its shale fracking development. In May 2012, Ukraine’s State Service for Geology and Mineral Resources granted the right to develop the Yuzovka shale gas deposit to British-Dutch Shell. Burisma also has the right to develop the shale gas fields in the Dnieper-Donetsk basin of Eastern Ukraine. [6]

An embargo on Russian fertilizer and grain would be seriously devastating to the world, but especially the West. Bolsonaro hasn't "condemned Putin" for this reason, I suspect.
I have to believe any strong sanctions on these things would be bluffs because the effects would be devastating. I am partially joking about wanting this, because it would cause serious internal turmoil in all of the West. More seriously, having lived through violence and shit, I don't want it.

>Talks between Ukraine and Russia have begun, the foreign ministries of both countries have confirmed.
>Ukraine has said its goal for the talks is an “immediate ceasefire and withdrawal of Russian troops”. Its delegation includes several high-ranking officials, but not its president, Volodymyr Zelenskiy, himself.
>The Kremlin has declined to comment on its aim in negotiations, but Russian negotiator Vladimir Medinsky has said Russia wants to reach an agreement that was in the interests of both sides.
So basically, fizzle gang? They have advanced as far as they deep necessary, proved their point, and will now talk.
Its notable cuck ziolensky is not part of the talks, obviously Nato have been telling him not to talk, which has so far resulted in talks obviously breaking down, now actually none retards want to negotiate a peace that works.
This is my fanfic anyway, rolling for best possible outcome
Croatian Volunteer Fighters Head for Ukrainian FrontlineVecernji list also wrote that help for Ukraine was being collected in the premises of the Bad Blue Boys, Dinamo football club’s supporters, in Zagreb. That action was reportedly coordinated by Denis Seler, who spent six years with Ukraine’s far-right Azov battalion.

Balkan nations are sharply divided over the Russia-Ukraine dispute.
Serbs have strong sympathies with fellow Orthodox Chrstian Russians, while many Croats back Ukraine’s resistance to domination by Moscow, Serbia’s close ally.
Nationalists from both Croatia and Ukraine see much in common in their countries’ recent histories.
Far-right groups in Ukraine grew in prominence with their role in the overthrow of President Viktor Yanukovych, manning armed barricades in Kyiv’s Independence Square.

>>538416Imperialism is an advanced stage of capitalism, attained by some nations in the 20th-century.
Lenin enumerated the following five features characteristic of the epoch of imperialism:
(1) the concentration of production and capital has developed to such a high stage that it has created monopolies which play a decisive role in economic life; (2) the merging of bank capital with industrial capital, and the creation on the basis of this “finance capital”, of a financial oligarchy; (3) the export of capital as distinguished from the export of commodities acquires exceptional importance; (4) the formation of international monopoly capitalist associations which share the world among themselves, and (5) the territorial division of the whole world among the biggest capitalist powers is completed. Imperialism is capitalism at that stage of development at which the dominance of monopolies and finance capital is established; in which the export of capital has acquired pronounced importance; in which the division of the world among the international trusts has begun, in which the division of all territories of the globe among the biggest capitalist powers has been completed.
>>538414I'm not so sure this is coordinated by NATO itself, seems like just right-wing adventurists.
Also the left is practically dead in most of Europe, so Gladio is unnecessary. Unless they predict a rise of communist movements in the future.
>>538420>>538418>>538416i really don't understand why people choose to talk in black and white absolutes on purpose. It isn't even funny.
Are you denying the large influence of the far right in Ukraine, particularly on military formations? No, but you are diminishing it, hiding behind sarcastic humour to mystify the truth of the situation.
In fact it is the case that there is some significant influence. Not every facet of a situation entails the entire situation and nothing is simple.
The correct position is a cold analysis of the facts and what that will mean, devoid of a moral judgement, not just being snarky because you've stuck your flag in the sand in one side or the other.
>>538423I think it is yes, but if he manages to simply consolidate his interests in the east its not really. A big shock and awe followed by cordial talks in which he agrees to pull out of everywhere but the east would be a win and tbh would bring more stability to the region than there was before. It remains to be seen, basically. If he is gonna try and put a guy in as president, he has truly lost the plot.
>>538425soz, I'm of the opinion that most of these guys are post remnants and dregs Gladio anyway, and there is literally no such as the organic right. Scatch a Nazi almost anywhere in the world and the CIA bleeds.
The left is in fact growing since covid, with more strikes and so on, plus they think longer term which is one of the reasons they are winning, it is enough that there might one day be a left.
>>538432i think youre right about both of those guesses, doesnt necessarily make it not a terrible choice but i think its true they felt backed into a corner, dont want to lose any more of eastern europe to the west, and putin and his people feel like this is a better time than letting the west get any further and have an older putin/less experienced successor
/leftypol/ might be free from the illusion that ukraine is winning but people here seem largrly under the illusion that the long game bodes well for russia, it doesnt
I think you shouldn't talk about issues you know nothing about, I closely followed Russian and Ukrainian politics for years and there's nothing new you can tell me. I am perfectly aware of the American support for Maidan but it seems your delusional mind has not been aware that Maidan was a popular revolt against corrupt regime that did not want to join the EU, not everything is neccessarily orchestrated by the CIA or KGB. For Western lefties the CIA is what Jews are to Nazis, you can't handle the idea that not everything is orchestrated by the US and there's no world-wide conspiracy. The CIA couldn't kill Castro for decades, the CIA failed miserably at the Pig bay, the CIA failed to prevent Soviets stealing the nuclear secrets (the most protected project of the US at time), the CIA could not predict that Iranian monarchy will be overthrown in 1979, the CIA could not predict the rise of theocracy in Middle East, the CIA couldn't ensure success of insurgency in Syria, the CIA did not see the Arabic spring coming. Maybe one day you will accept that people can act as independent individuals and often pursue their interests. The self-interest of Ukrainians is prosperity. Russia is poorer than Poland which is twice poorer than the UK or Germany, thus it does not make sense for Ukraine to allign itself with Russia, unless Russia tries to brut force its will, which is what it currently does.
Also, not even the """all-powerful""" CIA could predict that the USSR will be dead just 8 years after the election of Gorbachev. Many of your Kremlinologists saw slowing economic growth and predicted stagnation only, while the quick fall of the USSR was a shock to the Americans. The fall of the USSR was seen as such a disaster in the American eyes that Bush senior went on to Soviet Ukraine to ask people not to declare independence from the USSR.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chicken_Kiev_speechStill it doesn't stop many delusional Western left wingers living in their black and white world from claiming that Gorbachev was a CIA spy or that the mighty US somehow brainwashed Yeltsin, Kravchuk and company into destroying the Soviet union. Many people again ignore the self-interest there: leaders of the Soviet republics benefited from destroying the supranational Soviet state and taking all the power and taxes into their own hands. No need to answer to pesky Gorbachev when you are THE Gorbachev of your own little kingdom.
>>538440Bro i really don't know what to say to you, Azov isn't even the only large right wing group there, there is the National Core, Right Sector, all kinds of groups.
An Azov Corporal was Police Chief in Kyiv for a long time, the Azov Battlion itself was co-opted into the actual Ukranian army.
There was a UN resolution against Neo Nazism, the only two nations to vote against was Ukraine and the US.
Its not just some Patriot Alternative burger tier larp. They get massive funding directly from US congress, they can building their own tanks. They have a thousands strong core of people and 10s of thousands periphery supporters perhaps hundreds of thousands.
>>538439>popular >against corruption Wake the fuck up buddy. The post maidan government is literally hundreds of times more corrupt than the Russian stooge to the point the EU can’t even let them join their alliance as planned. It’s one of the most corrupt governments in the world by western media accounts. That and the Nazis makes it a deadly combination.

Yes the Azov battalion is in the military, and that indeed doesn't look good, but then again I can imagine a country under such pressure will take anybody in their ranks. I just don't see Ukraine implementing real far right policies and I don't see the far right presence in government.
Im mostly skeptical about this position because it is been Kremlin´s talking point for the last 8 years, and like always they make things bigger than they actually are for the sake of turning Russian people against the Ukrainian "regime".
Anyways, I wanna get more informed on this so I would appreciate (non-kremlin) sources to further read on this.

>>538464>The thing is there is far right groups everywhere.not to this extent and not incorporated into the state in this manner. Also, on top of that, yes, generally, there is a problem with CIA backed neo nazis in many many places, it, I contend, is one of the worlds biggest problems that we shouldn't be diminishing.
> but then again I can imagine a country under such pressure will take anybody in their ranksthis is simply not how the timeline played out. In fact, the legitimate maidan protests were co-opted by Ukrainian capitalist class and chums in the EU, and Azov etc were their chosen catspaws, the "pressure" being entirely fabricated.
> I just don't see Ukraine implementing real far right policies and I don't see the far right presence in government. they have already under poroshenko pursued policies of privatisation and there is already loads of racist and anti roma attacks, there is already a war against the people of Donetzsk and Lukhansk
>Im mostly skeptical about this position because it is been Kremlin´s talking point for the last 8 yearsits true. Doesn't matter who says it.
>and like always they make things bigger than they actually are for the sake of turning Russian people against the Ukrainian "regime".just like you are making things seem smaller than they are for the opposite reason.
>Anyways, I wanna get more informed on this so I would appreciate (non-kremlin) sources to further read on this.you can literally read sources from all over the political spectrum my dude. From the jerusalem post to the guardian to far left stuff, its too out in the open to deny, so they just try to deflect the narrative. Would it also interest you to know they are armed by Israel. Look at the electronicintifada article about it, google electronicintidada azov israel as keywords or something
>>538439Yeah, it was a popular revolt which was fueled by the NATO, CIA (via NED), and other think tanks, and later on captured by the ultra right wing, while NATO benefited and coaxed the captured revolution to its favor.
What's new? What are you against here?
also also, the world ahs historically been duped into thinking there is some big gap between being a nationally minded lib (most ukrainians) and being a fascist. In fact, there isn't. Being a fascist is just what happens when libs get fed up and lose their cool, stop pretending freedom matters and start privatising stuff at the barrel of a gun.
I will also remind you Azov burned down the trade union co-ordination office in Ukraine, massacring people, and it was covered up by the state.
This is simple bread and butter fascism plain and simple.
Now as i've said, i think the invasion, to have gone beyond the east, was misguided, but if this was simply pushing farther than he hopes to gain, it is a shrewd move. I think if half of ukraine doesn't want Russia there, it shouldn't be, but facts is facts about the political formation that is shouting loudly about this.

>>538549>>538564More from the two wiki articles:
>In July–September 1941, Budyonny was Commander-in-Chief (главком, glavkom) of the Soviet armed forces of the Southwestern Direction (Southwestern and Southern Fronts) facing the German invasion of Ukraine. This invasion began as part of Germany's Operation Barbarossa which was launched on June 22. Operating under strict orders from Stalin (who attempted to micromanage the war in the early stages) not to retreat under any circumstances, Budyonny's forces were eventually surrounded during the Battle of Uman and the Battle of Kiev. The disasters which followed the encirclement cost the Soviet Union 1.5 million men killed or taken prisoner. This was one of the largest encirclements in military history.
>On 13 September 1941, Stalin sacked Budyonny as a scapegoat, replacing him with Semyon Timoshenko. He was never allowed to command troops in combat again. First he was put in charge of the Reserve Front (September–October 1941), then made Commander-in-Chief of the troops in the North Caucasus Direction (April–May, 1942), Commander of the North Caucasus Front (May–August, 1942) - but was removed from this post as the Germans approached, and appointed Cavalry Inspector of the Red Army (from 1943), as well as various honorific posts.
>Despite his bravery as a cavalry commander, the view of his fellow officers was that Budyonny was demonstrably incompetent at commanding an army in a mechanized war. Soon after the war, Marshal Konev told the Yugoslav communist, Milovan Đilas: "Budyonny never knew much, and he never studied anything. He showed himself to be completely incompetent and permitted awful mistakes to be made."[16]
<The First Battle of Kiev was the German name for the operation that resulted in a huge encirclement of Soviet troops in the vicinity of Kiev (Kyiv) during World War II. This encirclement is considered the largest encirclement in the history of warfare (by number of troops). The operation ran from 7 August to 26 September 1941, as part of Operation Barbarossa, the Axis invasion of the Soviet Union.[6] In Soviet military history, it is referred to as the Kiev Strategic Defensive Operation, with the somewhat different dates of 7 July – 26 September 1941.[7]
<Much of the Southwestern Front of the Red Army (commanded by Mikhail Kirponos) was encircled, but small groups of Red Army troops managed to escape the pocket days after the German panzers met east of the city, including the headquarters of Marshal Semyon Budyonny, Marshal Semyon Timoshenko and Commissar Nikita Khrushchev. Kirponos was trapped behind German lines and was killed while trying to break out.Cornman crossover episode!! >>5385621. too little too late

Russia closes airspace to 30+ statesRussia has closed its skies for over two dozen European countries, as well Canada, on Monday. The move came after the EU banned Russian airlines from crossing into their airspace.
European nations began banning Russian-owned airlines and Russian-registered aircraft shortly after Moscow launched a military operation against Ukraine early Thursday morning. On Sunday, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen announced the closure of the entire EU airspace to Russian-linked flights.

Guys my university has made a project where you can listen to Russian radio comms. This is possible since many Russian soldiers are conscripts and have no clue on how to operate military radio equipment, so they are using civilian frequencies. There will be a lot of noise but you can pick out somethings in-between if you have patiance
