I still don't know why the invasion happened
I still don't know why people act like it's a big deal when oil futures aren't even going up

The only reason I'd join Civil Protection is for the gasmask

russia has been constantly humiliated from all fronts for the last 20 years, putin had to do something.

ask about illuminati

Where even is City 17? Seems to be in Eastern Europe, but then they visit Black Mesa East and I thought Black Mesa was in the USA?

>remaining
What did you mean by that?

>eastern europe
>black mesa east

All the major cities and towns got nuked when the Combine invaded.

East, as in eastern Europe. they set up a new base and named it Black Mesa as recognition most of the scientists were working there at the time of the cascade.

he should have spread his asscheeks instead

It will take a fucking novel to explain whole situation to someone who's not familiar with Eastern Europe politicals and wasn't following closely since 2014 at least. If it doesn't look like novel, it's likely simplified propaganda piece intended to sway you to one side or another. Don't bother. It's not like this shit matters for your life.

Because Putler is le bad

Thank god (who doesn't exist) for the ghost of kiev.. he destroyed the r*ssian army all by himself and killed Putler just like Harry Potter defeated Voldemort

Russia doesn’t want NATO influence on its border. That’s basically it isn’t it?

based putin radiating his divine light on his people
truly the savior of the white race that we need right now

Modern Russia is literally the worst elements of capitalism and communism, but the best parts erased. You've got police state with no freedom, but you've also got the instable job market, extreme wealth inequality. The government expects you to be unquestionably loyal to the State, but gives nothing back in return like free healthcare.

I bet Satan is sitting on his throne now really stressed because Russia is gonna outdo him on making the worst place to live.

Imagine criticizing someone for actually having the courage to risk death to fight for what they believe in. How many Any Forums users are in Ukraine fighting for the Russians to end "globohomo"?

True, but it's not everything. Demographic situation at Ukraine and between it and Russia is pretty much unique, and it also matters a lot for Russian government's decision making. There are also resources like best farmland in Europe as well, economic relations, etc.

rich fucks doing dumb shit, both sides. Dont fall for the hate amongst your fellow man.

Territorial conquest, it's like something out of a shitty anime. We'd all known the guy was a problem waiting to happen and then the crazy bastard actually went and made himself public enemy #1 of the entire world. How he thought this would ever end well is beyond me. Part of me wishes China would go crazy too so we could take out two problems at once.

Putin should be made an honorary black guy.
No matter what he does, it's apparently always someone elses fault.

rip that old russian lady

Russians are gonna be cutting each other's throats for a can of dog food before Christmas.

Everything technically goes back to a bunch of fuck ups Lenin did when trying to stablise the Soviet Union in the 20's, but the modern issues come from:
>Ukraine friendly with Russia post-cold war
>Euromaiden happens, corrupt Russian aligned government is thrown out and replaced with corrupt European/NATO aligned government
>Russia gets worried that'll mean more NATO on it's borders so it forms breakaway republics in Ukraine and annexes Crimea
>Ukraine continues towards it's alignment with NATO/EU
>Putin invades before this can happen

There's some other shit like how Crimea was going to run out of water since the Ukrainians blocked a bunch of dams and some other inter-slavic shit flinging but that's mainly background noise and to be expected. Honestly just sit back and enjoy a proper war for once.

I feel bad for them for having to go through this.

>so we could take out two problems at once
What is even being done, besides sanctions and strongly worded press releases?>

video games?

literally dismantle the oligarchs and let corporate 'survival of the fitest' do the job for you

Valve screwed over the Artifact fanbase by cancelling the Artifact 2.0 beta without even allowing users to invite friends like they said they would in January 2021 and does not deserve your financial support for these gross consumer-unfriendly practices.

There won't be conquest. More like army just goes home and then Russia waits for Ukraine to come asking to be annexed, because it's not like they will have any meas of rebuilding thoroughly leveled infrastructure otherwise. Quite devilish.

same shit that happened to the west, rich fucks are manipulating citizens to fight for jewish companies in ukraine.

why doesn't russia just join NATO too if they're so scared

>1. Totalitarian Chinese styled government
>2. Totalitarian Globohomo styled government
>3. Nuclear Winter

These are the only paths left for mankind.

Whats with all the Chinese shills lately?

This might be the most normie brainlet take on the situation, well done

why wont America join the BRICS if theyre so afraid?

Putin doesn't want a NATO country beside their border.
Kiev is the birthplace of Russian civilization and he wants it back.
Conquering Ukraine means Russia will no longer have a competition from supplying wheat and gas/oil of Europe.

Just get an electric car bigot.

too corrupt and not a democracy.
NATO was kinda founded on defense against russia

We just got paid.

It was the Russian's fucking up their economy and various other factors that caused the collapse of the Soviet Union.
It seems Putin has forgotten this, so these sanctions should remind him.

>why doesn't russia just join NATO too
They tried and got laughed at.

I hate how this actually gave me a chuckle.

>Russia gets worried that'll mean more NATO
I never believed this for their motivation. Surely they had to know finland and sweden would be scared shitless if they would actually invade another European country. Perhaps they'll manage to eliminate UA's NATO dreams but now you got two nations new NATO nations threatening really fucking important parts of your lands.

This is exactly the reason.
He's old, possibly ill and he wants to leave behind a legacy before he keels over.
And what better legacy than to be the man who restored the USSR to its former glory.
If he fails to take Ukraine, he'll probably just off himself.

and its going to be all three at once

Putin literally tried in early 00s, look it up. Russia was West-aligned democratic state after USSR end, however West let Russia know that it doesn't want Russia to be West-aligned.

>I still don't know why the invasion happened
A combination of Russian fears over NATO encroaching despite assurances from NATO that they wouldn't, energy policies worldwide going towards reaching energy independence and less oil/has which royally fucks up Russia that has gone deep into the oil business in Europe, the feeling that NATO wouldn't act harshly due to the recent embarrassment of America in Afghanistan, the apparent weakness of current western leaders while Putin is seen as a 'strong-man', the feeling that China is in a position to support Russia in the event of Russia getting into deep shit, and ironically that fall of Russian influence across the world AS China gets more powerful.
This invasion is an attempt by Putin to reassert Russia into the world stage, however it appears he moved away too soon as Russia is becoming increasingly dependent on China as NATO uncharacteristically gave an economic blacklist to Russia

Its literally the cuban missile crisis but now america is on the defending side so ukraine is the hecking good bois
