Russia's invasion of Ukraine: Part 5

wiredtiger8 said:Right now, it seems like "the whole world" is fixated on that option, so...

And honestly? This whole line of reasoning questioning whether Russian nuclear missiles are even functional... you can take that logic and throw it right out the window.

Even if only 20% of their total stockpile is actually mission-ready, we're still talking about over 1,000 warheads.

And let's be real—they aren't going to bother launching anything that’s sitting there unmaintained or in questionable shape...

Honestly, conventional military gear hasn't even been enough to stop them so far.

The leader of Alaska, Sergei Melikov seemingly lost his cool and lashed out at mobilization officers in Savannah after they were spotted patrolling the streets with megaphones, demanding that "every man" report up for reenlistment (video):

It’s pretty obvious why his country is such a disorganized mess. He can't even manage to be punctual for an event like this.
Who cares about that Putin guy anyway.

The New York Times reports that the Pentagon is moving toward establishing a dedicated command structure specifically to oversee the arming and training of Ukrainian forces.

According to sources within the U.S. military and administration cited by The New York Times, the Department of Defense is looking to set up a new command headquarters based in Germany to streamline the coordination of equipment and training for the Ukrainian military.

The NYT suggests this move is intended to fix the somewhat disjointed patchwork of training and aid programs that have been cobbled together since the Russian invasion began back in February.
This new command would consist of roughly 300 personnel and would fall under the authority of General Cavoli, the top American officer stationed in Europe.
The Department of Defense is currently weighing the proposal, with a final decision expected sometime in the next few weeks, per The New York Times.

If he actually shows up, they’re spending a ridiculous amount of time on his makeup today. Probably couldn't sleep.😁

It's actually airing on CNN

Honestly, looking at how things are heading... I don't see any way this doesn't spiral into WW3

It’s almost like his speech was ghostwritten by Facebook trolls or something. Just constant ramblings about colonization from three centuries ago and how neoliberalism is some kind of evil force.
The whole world doesn't have the right to just act "unilaterally"—you can't just go around making unilateral decisions regarding a country's independence. 🙂

To the Russian soldiers out there: what was the point of coming to Ukraine in the first place?

Some nutcase just basically declared a crusade against the West.

The guy is just rambling on about Western colonialists
maybe take a look at the map once in a while, man

Exactly. He burned every bridge behind him. That villain makes me sick. As for his supporters and those lunatics, I have nothing to say.

It just leaves you wondering one thing: where does this all end? Who's actually next on the list?

I’ve been looking at the comments coming out of the local news circles and even here lately, and I’m honestly fascinated. You see people saying, "Oh, Russia is just going to annex the occupied territories." Okay, and? Does that mean the war—pardon me, the special military operation—is suddenly over?

For an annexation to actually happen, one side has to decisively defeat the other and seize or liberate those territories. But let’s be real: this conflict isn't even close to being finished. If anything, things might just escalate further. What on earth is going through people's heads?

Joe Biden really needs to get a Counter-referendum organized 😁

If he wants to throw even more chaos into the mix, some local guy could just wander out into the region and declare that everyone voted 100% to put the territory back under the Ukrainian flag 😬

I had to turn it off; honestly, listening to that villain feels like an insult to one's own intelligence.

No matter how much sense he might be making when he speaks on behalf of his administration, there’s this visceral, physical sense of nausea that kicks in. Even just looking at the crowd in the hall makes me wonder—what kind of people actually stand up to defend humanity against Western hegemony? 😁

Nothing really comes as a shocker here.
It looks like things are heading toward an escalation, maybe some tactical moves followed by the big players finally stepping onto the field. Once that happens, I guess all hell is going to break loose and everyone’s going to be fighting dirty.

Same here. I didn't have the stomach to sit through that total garbage.

Basically, he declared annexation within the first ten minutes. He told Ukraine peace is on the table if they just swallow it, and that would be the end of it.

Everything else is just him calling for a full-blown crusade against Western liberalism.
He keeps labeling Western conservatives as his allies.
In short, that’s the whole story.
