I'm supposed to think that ukraine is a 5 star hotel now?
So apparently there was a fake through Ukrainian channel that said a landing ship of the Russian Navy sank.
>Fake: Amphibious assault ship of the Russian troops was flooded by the Armed Forces of Ukraine, according to Ukrainian telegram channels.
>True: At the moment, the Black Sea Fleet of the Russian Federation consists of two types of landing ships, Project 775 and Project 1171, the latter being only one "Nikolai Filchenkov". At the same time, in the photograph of the ship standing in the roadstead of Odessa (photo 2), it can be seen that its superstructures rise higher relative to the hull than that of the BDK of project 775 (photo 3), and that of the BDK of project 1171 (photo 4). It is possible that in the photo "Hetman Sahaidachny", the flagship of the Ukrainian Navy (photo 5). The media reported about its sinking.>>548052Is this related?????
>>548097Not that I think killing people who have surrendered is good or should be done, but appealing to the Geneva convention is the geopolitical equivalent of
>am I being detained officer Nobody has ever or will ever care.
>>548101yes, nazi germany would have done so. nazi germany did all that within given capacity and with given technology.
basically this:
>>548105 >>548070>>548075Bear in mind that Ukrainian national identity before 2014 was fairly weak. There wasn't a cohesive sense of what it meant for Ukraine to be a nation. Ukrainian nationalism existed but it wasn't a strong assertive form of nationalism. A lot of the currents running through present 2022-style Ukrainian nationalism existed before then, but it became more nationalistic since 2014 and the form their nationalism has taken is extremely anti-Russian. Ukrainian nationalism and anti-Russian sentiment are a Venn diagram with a nearly perfect overlap at this point.
This is really important for understanding the ramifications of Putin's de-Nazification comments and stated goals. For Putin, whose speeches imply that he sees the entire Ukrainian state since 2014 as a Nazi state, that also implies that the entire modern Ukrainian nation is a Nazi nation, since the forging of the Ukrainian nation and unified support for what was a very divided state before 2014 has come about through the adoption of this anti-Russian nationalism. That's also why Ukrainians are interpreting Russia's invasion as a sincere attempt to destroy them as a nation, because when Putin says de-Nazification they interpret it as destruction of the Ukrainian nation, because the Ukrainian nation has been solidified in the time since 2014 and Putin interprets that solidification as Nazification.
At the same time, the popular memory has rehabilitated all of these Nazi collaborators to be the center of Ukrainian identity because they fought Russia – which has also been a project of collaborator emigres who have been working towards this for decades. Maidan was really a stroke of genius to really change not just the political and military orientation of Ukraine but the culture to to align with this diaspora fantasyland. Color Revolutions were 100% an offensive strategy, it's just that they were extremely well packaged to play off the western public's conception of themselves, and the world aspiring to be like them.
I think this is also related to why you're seeing this crazy shit like this
>>548101 as it's abundantly clear that Ukraine has no realistic chance of winning the war. But lacking objectivity, they've been hoping to turn the tide by creating among all Ukrainians a fanatical will to resist – assembling last-ditch units rather than negotiating for peace, which, in fact, is part of a broader, ideological strategy intended to turn the tide of the war. This, they hope, will force the Russians to fight bitterly for every city, town and village and turn the war into a protracted stalemate, wearing down Russian morale and ultimately collapsing their war effort. In effect, for a group of ultranationalists obsessed with "stabbed-in-the-back myths," they're banking on a replay of such a thing, only this time with the roles being reversed.
>>548096The video cuts at where you'd expect if you didn't want to actually burn the guy which is what makes me lean towards the people giving other reasons it's fake. The other reasons are you don't actually see him get nailed to it, and the accents are apparently all Russian.
Wouldn't surprise me if it's real but the Russians also got caught making some shit up about a baby being crucified around the same time this video first surfaced.

>>548196They noticed some fags from genzedong post there and wanted to purge them or something?
>>548197Yeah it just shows how suburbanite they are. Not even urbanite cuz those fags have been more anti-nato than anything (ALthough I suspect that this graph is outdated but it's kind of interesting regardless.)
>>548192If Russia wins then Ukraine will be denazified, or at least scrubbed of anti-Russian Nazis (the pro-Russian fascists in Donbass will stay ofc, but they're a much less serious problem). Also, Russia will be able to continue supporting actual anti-imperialists (Cuba, Venezuela, Syria, etc), and NATO will be denied a staging ground against Russia. In short, it is a victory for multipolarity, as well as a victory against Ukrainian fascism. If Russia loses, then this will collapse the popularity of Putin's government and United Russia, and could open things up to a power grab by the Communists (assuming they grow some balls and don't pull an SPD, which doesn't seem likely tbh). In short, I think that Russian victory has a high chance to bring moderate benefits for progressive forces in Ukraine and abroad, whereas Russian defeat has a slim chance to bring major benefits to progressive forces in Russia.
U.S. neocon think-tank thinks Ukraine is losing:
>Wishful thinking has the upper hand in the battle to shape Western perceptions of the war in Ukraine. Sympathy for the outnumbered and outgunned defenders of Kyiv has led to the exaggeration of Russian setbacks, misunderstanding of Russian strategy, and even baseless claims from amateur psychoanalysts that Putin has lost his mind. A more sober analysis shows that Russia may have sought a knockout blow, but always had well-laid plans for follow-on assaults if its initial moves proved insufficient.
>The world has underestimated Putin before and those mistakes have led, in part, to this tragedy in Ukraine. We must be clear-eyed now that the war is underway. Yet even the professionals at the Pentagon are letting sympathy cloud their judgement.
>Just two days into Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, U.S. Department of Defense briefers were quick to claim that failing to take Kyiv in the opening days of the war amounted to a serious setback. DoD briefers implied that Russia’s offensive was well behind schedule or had even failed because the capital had not fallen. But U.S. leaders should have learned to restrain their hopes after their catastrophic withdrawal from Afghanistan. Once again, U.S. and Western officials are falling into the trap of failing to understand the enemy and his objectives.
>Allegedly, Putin believed that the Ukrainian government would collapse once Russian troops crossed the frontier and pushed to Kyiv, and that the operation has failed because the Ukrainian government remains in place. Putin certainly hoped for a swift victory, but he clearly was not relying on his opening salvo as the only plan for success. Rather, the Russian military was prepared to take the country by force if a swift decapitation strike fell short.
>This kind of plan should be familiar to Americans who remember the 2003 invasion of Iraq. In the first hours of the war, the U.S. Air Force launched its ‘shock and awe’ campaign in an attempt to kill Saddam Hussein and other key leaders and bring down the government. Saddam survived, but the U.S. military was fully prepared to follow up with a ground assault.
>A look at the Russian military offensive demonstrates there was a plan for a full-scale invasion, which Russia is now executing. Conventional, mechanized warfare is a time and resource consuming enterprise, and an operation of this scope isn’t cobbled together in days. The Russian offensive is taking place on four separate fronts. On a fifth front, in eastern Ukraine, which Putin declared independent last week, Russian forces are tying down Ukrainian troops that are needed elsewhere. The bulk of the Russian forces are advancing southward from Belarus to Kyiv. Russian advance forces, including air, mobile and reconnaissance troops, have been engaged with Ukrainian troops outside of Kyiv since the start of the war. A massive column of Russian troops, estimated at over 40 miles long, is just 20 miles north of Kyiv, and is likely assembling to surround the capital.
>If Russian forces can take Kyiv and push southward to link up with forces on the Crimean front, thus splitting Ukraine in two, it would be a major blow to the Zelensky government.
>What matters more than a handful of setbacks is that Russian forces have pushed 70 miles into contested terrain in less than a week and are on the outskirts of the capital. This is not a sign of a disorganized, poorly assembled, and failed offensive.
>The southward push from Belarus to Kyiv is supported by another Russian column, launched from the east in the vicinity of Kursk. If this column can link up with Russian troops near Kyiv, it will envelop Ukrainian forces in most of Chernihiv and Sumy provinces, depriving the Ukrainian military of much needed soldiers and war material needed elsewhere, and cutting off the government from two northern provinces.
>Further east, Russian forces have launched a broad offensive aimed at Kharkiv, Ukraine’s second largest city, which is now under siege. In the south, Russian forces, supported by amphibious assaults from the Black Sea and the Sea of Azov, have poured into Ukraine from Crimea. On this front, Russian forces have branched out along two main axes, one northwest along the Pivdennyi Buh River, and another northeast along the coast and inland towards the Donbas region, which Russia annexed shortly before the invasion. If Russian columns from either southern front can link up with forces further north, they would cut off many Ukrainian troops from reinforcement—one of the two columns has already advanced roughly 160 miles.
>Russian generals have often chosen to bypass towns and cities that are putting up stiff opposition and isolating them to deal with later. There are reports that Russian forces have escalated attacks on civilians, particularly in Kharkiv. At the moment, the artillery and rocket attacks there have been limited, perhaps to send a message to the citizens as a warning of what may come. Putin appears to want to take Ukraine intact, but will not hesitate to increase the level of brutality if needed.
>The systematic nature of the Russian assault is at odds with speculation that Putin has lost control of his senses. Nobody knows for sure, but Putin’s actions appear to be that of a cold and calculating adversary. Dismissing his decision to invade Ukraine as a form of madness is effectively an excuse to ignore Putin’s likely motivations and future actions.https://www.fdd.org/analysis/2022/03/02/putin-not-crazy-russian-invasion-not-failing/>>548111>Russia has lost the hearts and minds of Ukrainianswe will see if they have truly lost it once they're occupying for a few weeks

But a lot of the /pol/ nazis think Azov is a Jewish trap or that both sides are non-white, so it doesn't really matter who wins, but Russia will make Zionists angrier if they win.
Most of the national conservative/cultural conservative camp (Claremonters and the like) is hardline pro-Russia. Some think Russia is good in of itself, but I think most of them see it as a pragmatic measure to fight the GAE (Globalist American Empire, term used by anti-American right wingers who think globalist or globohomo will get them banned). Russia in this case is the anti-LGBT force that upholds masculinity and Christianity. Dissent in this sphere is rare, even the traditionalist Catholics are supporting the Orthodox Russians over the East Catholic Ukrainian nationalists, even though most of the Catholic church is against this position.
The majority of the western right wing with real world power is still pro-Ukraine.
>>548134This but unironically
The Ukrainian nation has no basis (the Ukie state is 3 nations: the Ukrainian nation, polish nation and Russian nation)
The entire history of Ukraine is wiping the slate clean and turning to another power
For the Ukrainian State to exist in its current fashion they had to remove democracy (as was done in 2014 by US) and install loads of fanatic far right ethno nationalists and fascists in government
Russia should hack off most of eastern Ukraine, cut their access to the sea and leave a rump Ukrainian state of far right ethnic hatred for the European Union to deal with

<I understand where the argument associating the flag with Nazis comes from. There was a very complicated situation during the occupation of Belarus by German fascists in the Second World War. Belarus was strongly oppressed by the Soviet government at that time, which was trying to destroy the Belarusian national identity. For example, in 1933, the Soviet government imposed a brutal and unjustified reform on the Belarusian language, in which the alphabet was changed from Latin (an alphabet very similar to the Polish language) into Cyrillichttps://crimethinc.com/2020/08/12/belarus-anarchists-in-the-uprising-against-the-dictatorship-an-interviewWaving a Nazi by occupation flag is ok though because of the Soviet oppression of

A Ukrainian comrade has given a statement on how Western comrades may help the situation in Ukraine and also provides insight on what demands western leftists should make with regards to the war without supporting NATO or an escalation of the conflict, please repost and share as much as you can
>"What can you do to help Ukraine? I see this question often in western social media, and as someone who has just left Kyiv, I would like to offer my thoughts.
>I just saw that the head of the WHO called to open up a humanitarian corridor for civilians to leave Kyiv.
>A humanitarian corridor is when both fighting sides agree to allow citizens to leave the city safely along a designated route. It does not involve any military action, unlike a no-fly zone, and is an ordinary procedure in wars.
>The measure is extremely necessary for Kharkiv, Mariupol, Volnovakha, and many other Ukrainian cities and towns going through a humanitarian catastrophe at the moment, where people find it very difficult to leave the cities for safety due to bombing, armed groups, and curfews. Civilians are stuck in unsafe bomb shelters among the rubble of their houses, dying due to bombing, the cold, and are running out of food and medicine.
<I see lots of westerners calling for various military 'solutions' to the conflict, which would not only vastly increase the number of deaths in this conflict but probably only lengthen it.
<It is not worth giving in to patriotic enthusiasm about Ukraine’s chances for military victory – currently, this perception strengthens the hand of Ukrainian nationalists who are virulently opposed to any negotiations with Russia and would prefer to fight to the end, no matter the civilian casualties and annihilation of the country.
<Measures like opening a no-fly zone would even result in a direct confrontation between Russia and NATO, which, as everyone knows, would be a nuclear one.
<Nor are sanctions particularly useful in saving lives, since the economic effects will only be felt over the coming months, which will not affect the bombing campaign in Ukraine over the next weeks and days.
>In this context I would like to urge citizens of rich western countries to call for the construction of humanitarian corridors in Ukraine to save civilian lives. A negotiated compromise to end the war would be the best solution, but unfortunately this currently seems very unlikely to succeed.
>The construction of a humanitarian corridor is entirely possible – politically and militarily –, essentially free, and would merely require pressure by western nations on Ukraine and Russia to agree to allow this. "
> Thus, it strikes me how, talking about the dramatic processes in our corner of the world, you reduce them to reaction to the activity of your own government and business elites. We have learnt all about the US and NATO from you, but this knowledge is not so helpful anymore. Maybe the US has drawn the outline of this board game, but now other players move the chips and add their own contours with a red marker. US-centric explanations are outdated. I have been reading everything written and said on the left about last year’s escalating conflict between the US, Russia, and Ukraine. Most of it was terribly off, much worse than many mainstream explanations. Its predictive power was nil.
> This is not to accuse the Western left of ethnocentrism, this is to point to their limited perspective. Overwhelmed with the fog of war and psychological stress, I cannot offer a better perspective. I would only call for help in grasping the situation in theoretical terms while incorporating insights from our corner of the world. US-plaining is not helpful to us to the extent that you think it is. We also need an effort to emerge from the ruins of eastern Marxism and the colonization by the Western Marxism. We make mistakes on this way, and you may accuse us of nationalism, idealism, provincialism. Learn from these mistakes: now you are also much more provincial and you face temptations to resort to simplistic Manicheanism.
This what I was arguing with some Westoids here. Your paranoid perspective with NATO setting in motion everything and ever-present CIA doesn't help to analyze the situation. You were riling up against leftypol anon who expressed his desire to join local resistance unit, Kyivan anarchists defending the city were mocked by you, you are constantly attacking incredibly based takes by our beloved Lithuanian, you are declaring KPRF dissenters who have voiced their opposition to Mussolini guy traitors and accusing them of being glow-controlled. Socialist protesters who are now one of the most important forces behind Russian anti-war movement are labeled as stupid trots who deserve the beatings they receive.
I don't support current psychotic Western MSM narrative about Ukraine, but you look like you just want to be contrarian, literal Russian state propaganda is happily gobbled up by Western leftists and no one seems to care. Now you have reached psychopathic levels of ghoulishness when you deny the very prospect of Russia doing war crimes and blame everything on Ukrainians. I don't think you are just fascists with red aesthetics, but you really lack understanding of Eastern Europe. RT giving a platform to Spanish dissenters talking about Catalonia is probably a very good thing, but using the same source in a situation where Russia is clearly involved is kinda irresponsible.

>>548581I don't know what to tell you. I think most people here agree. In the west, the role of NATO is basically null. Nobody knows the history of the conflict. THIS is what we fight against when we call people "NATO shills". People who don't understand that NATO/US has been purposefully crossing red lines since '99 and crossed the ultimate red line in '08 and again in '14.
The role NATO played CANNOT BE STATED ENOUGH. It is 100% NATO's fault, since NATO
is the provocateur. This is what the US leaders said they wanted several times. This is what they had planned and have been executing for 14+ years. The role NATO plays CANNOT BE OVERSTATED, since it is basically 100% their doing.
Here you're also doing it. If you don't mention the red lines that Russia
explicitly said were declarations of war, that NATO purposefully crossed, then you are a NATO shill.
The ukranian government is sacrificing it's people for the interests of NATO.
Fuck you "muh we are trying to be a stronk country". No bitch, this is larger than you and you were made cannon fodder for NATO interests.

>>548613>and again in '14. And what NATO did in 14? The West has helped Ukrainians to overthrow the corrupt authoritarian government, it was about EU, nobody gave a fuck about NATO in 2014, approval was 20%. But then Russia has annexed Crimea and supported far-right insurgency in Eastern Ukraine which resulted in thousands of dead.
Ukrainians want NATO membership now because their country has been at war with Russia for 8 years and now full-scale invasion is in motion and nationalist sentiments are rising. This is a disaster staged by Russian elites.

It's not a matter of who you cater to, it's a matter of understanding that when your country is invaded that's fight-or-flight. Ukraine has had tensions with Russia for a long time, too, and this isn't the first time in a decade that this has happened. Not only was that fight-or-flight instinct there, there was anticipation. They knew some day it might come to this, and because of the history they had no optimism about allowing themselves to be overtaken.
