Yes, Russia can bring in more troops. However these troops will still be inexperienced, under-supplied, and woefully outgunned by the far superior trained and equipped Ukraine armed forces + Azov. Bringing more lambs to the slaughter isn't the answer that some think it is.
Christian Williams
OH YEAH
Lincoln Kelly
What's the consensus on the POW-kneecapping video? To me it screams fake, especially the shooting part. Then again I might be wrong
Jacob Hernandez
Russian Transport infrastructure at risk of failure over the next six months due to sanctions >40% of Boeing fleet grounded for parts >no refineries in Russia means no east access to fuel even with their crude oil stockpiles >Russian train parts come from abroad >any train or plane that was expected to see some kind of service in the next 6 months won’t be getting it >increased risk of accidents >Russian rails transport food which may lead to stockpiles at regional capitals If you know anyone still in Russia they have six months to leave before starvation begins to set in.
Zelenskyy did appeal to Ukrainian troops not to commit war crimes against POWs so it seems like it could be true.
It’s fucked up that we condemn those actions, meanwhile Russia indiscriminately shells civilians
Sebastian Howard
it being real or fake would change no ones opinion either way, who cares?
Hunter Carter
I really don't care. When the other side blew up a fucking hospital I could give a rat's ass if a soldier gets shot in the knee.
William Taylor
files.catbox.moe/8xayd1.mp4 Jesus, the guy is scared as fuck Basically, he talks about how he surrendered to the civilian and that he never killed anyone
David Barnes
>Russian Transportation Infrastructure and domestic airline fleet is at risk of failing if parts are not obtained over the next six months to replace parts it’s not getting from the west. Yes non-military airlines are fucked. Still doesn't mean Putin couldn't go full North Korea, same applies to rail and refineries.
The patent waiving law makes me think that, but lack of capable engineers in the country make me think otherwise. Most of your engineers are in their 55-65’s.
Cities like Nordisk are already completely cut off from the outside world.
Grayson Fisher
why would you post that? you know this source is bullshit.
Brayden Miller
Majority of the country is elderly
Josiah Cruz
I'm certain things like this happen in war, generally. So even if this particular video is fake propaganda, you probably do have prisoners getting maimed and executed.
It's not like you can judge them for doing it. Never should've invaded another man's country
James Morgan
It is wrong and torture doesn't get reliable results.
Wyatt Morris
Why hasn't Putin been killed?
Xavier Carter
Seems fake and gay but our authorities are not being very vocal about it so I'll hold my judgement for now. Then again our government doesn't comment on every fake shit R*ssia spits so there's that.
Carter Cook
It's not torture, it's execution.
Robert Price
Whew, full blown PTSD case in the making
Colton Cox
Yeah, that was my point.
Liam Martin
Almost everybody believes Russian lies. "Minsk agreements" "tried to join NATO" and so on. /chug/ might not be an exceptional case after all but just a slightly exacerbated case of normie instead.
Noah King
?? Half the fucking Russian army came in from Belarus and their planes since the start of the war. How is this them joining the war
William Hughes
Their goal in that video seems to be to get them to talk or bleed out.
Brandon Kelly
They already have been since day 1. But will they send (more) Belarusians to die in Ukraine?
Justin Murphy
Cruise and ballistic missiles were being launched from Belarus since day 1. Jets too but there weren't much jet bombings in the north because jets are being shot down by AA defense. So nothing really changed.
Christopher Brown
Nothing ever happens
Asher Howard
dead general just migrate to /gpg/ maybe we can educate you retards
Asher Hill
>The patent waiving law makes me think that, but lack of capable engineers in the country make me think otherwise. Most of your engineers are in their 55-65’s. And so we return to the USSR-tier production lines.Something we will purchase from China or India. What's your point?
Jordan Torres
So now they have a choice between going to Ukraine or prison. Russia has certainly upped the game. No more dishonorable discharge and breaking of fake contracts.
Elijah Russell
Yeah, this will be dead soon, nothing happened in days
Nicholas Allen
seriously tho, this ain't a fucking game
Kevin Harris
It's most likely real but the thing is that Ukraine already has so much support from the rest of Europe that the only negative outcome for them at the moment is how Russians respond to it. War crimes have a multiplying effect. One side does it and the other side respond ten-fold, etc. This continuously builds up along side a war itself getting more brutal the longer it goes on. And afterwards both sides blame each other.
That's one thing one should keep in mind. War is almost always the most brutal during the end. In all aspects. Prepare your PTSD folders for some fucked up shit.
>syria general Commie sympathizers and schitzos are in no position to educate anyone.
Austin Rodriguez
No new trade deals with China. Current population is unable to preform subsistence farming that got them through rough times of USSR command economy. Resources already stretched thin. Russia does not possess the resources of the USSR as the former republics make up large pieces of that economy. A return to this way would make a weaker Russia that might not even be able to feed itself.
Dominic Sanchez
It's probably fake; there's too many inconsistencies with it. No blood where there should be blood on legs, three guys get shot in the kneed with an AK at point blank and there's no blood let along chunks of meat flying off. Reactions to getting shot were pretty shit as well, but I'm willing to chalk that up to the natural slav ability to be abused and not white if it is true. Then there's pro-russian journalists adding on context not present in the video.
People are claiming it originated from a Pro-Russian source, but I still can't find the fucking source. Earliest I can find is literally on Any Forums
