How Hot is Ukraine Gonna Get?

[The_Capt]

It’s the equinox. Crazies always come out during the equinox.  

And of course LLF is trying to make friends with the weird new kids…

Anyone and everyone is welcome on this thread but at least try to contribute. If all you want to do is a virtual version of streaking, there is a whole lotta internet out there. So far we have “Ukraine is doomed” and “We are doomed because of Ukraine…narrative!” Oh, and of course “you guys all suck!!” None of this is helpful or insightful. I suggest you use the door before you are shown it.

@LongLeftFlank I have nothing but goodwill towards Ukraine, but what happens when they run out of Ukrainians? That can't be good for anyone else, right?

Worth noting...'fighting to the last Ukrainian' is a classic trope in Russian information campaigns at the moment. Troll or not, sub or not, the basic POV is obvious.

Oooo maybe a MAGA guy?! Been ages since one of them came through. He does have that “all you college boys are wasting your time” vibe.

Maybe? Strong "all you damn intellectuals and your data" vibe throughout.

We have even had long time players pop in for a streak and run off again as they don't want to engage... 

Funny old world...

And then Long Lefty does his troll whisperer routine to try and keep them on. Seriously some people do just like to watch things burn. It makes me like, respect and despise him more, all at the same time.

A russian abandoned on an island in the Dnipro river, surrenders to a drone. Included Interview with subtitles.

 

Surrender, get warm, get fed! This needs to be the theme of Ukrainian propaganda this winter. Or meet the thermite drone, your choice....

As opposed to the Cool Kids of the Thread, right now?

Yep that line is popping up on other forums I follow and from folk who just pop in and are clearly not serious users of the forum.

The Russian disinformation campaign is strong...

So what would you like me to contribute there professor? My take on the tanks are dead "horse"? Or would you prefer the old tried and true "drones are the shizit" overlay? Maybe I should find some internet footage of tanks rolling across breached minefields and declare the war kaput!

Seriously, no matter how you slice this thread it always resorts to is "is not, is too!". And you called me crazy for using the n-word (nuclear, for all you gutter brainz out there).... sheez.

So i am going to let The_Capt defend himself, he is rather good at it. But I do i have one question for you about Putin's magical nuclear stick. If he can wave it and get Ukraine this week, why won't he wave it at Poland, and Alaska next week?

Something other than a continued demonstration that your Dad needs a stronger laptop password? No one called you crazy for bringing up the nuclear equation. You have not demonstrated any understanding of what that actually means.

Look, just about everyone here is better read, more knowledgeable and very likely smarter than you are on this current war. You can read and learn, or go away and get your info somewhere else. But a loud continual display of your ignorance and loud confidence in your own opinion is really not required.

But hey, you keep exclaiming the “Jesus was not born on 25 Dec!” Because you are just so “real”. Admin in will be along shortly to escort you out and we will forget your handle in a day or two.

If Putin waves his magical nuclear stick, we wave ours and then nobody gets anything but smokin holes in the ground. That's the point.

My dad passed away in 2017. So sadly you can leave him out of it. Really not smart considering your smarty pants "holier than thou" attitude in this thread.

[On second thought, my initial comment is unnecessary, but great job summing up the last 100 or so pages, only 3600 more to be fully caught up]

So are these ammo dump explosions a result of Russian incompetence or UKR luck? Mass wave of drones to overwhelm AA?

So let's cut to the chase: what is Ukraine's path to victory, in your view? I mean, you want the best for the country, you said?

Not gonna put any words in your mouth, speak up.

[CHARLIE43]

@Silentkilarz Russians asleep at the wheel. Or flying under the radar(literally) would be my guess. Perhaps even radar go bye bye before hand. So many options.

Straight to the chase? American boots on the ground. All the ammo and weapons will only last so long. Just like WWII, eventually that's what will have to happen. Mass invasion of either Russia or occupied Ukraine, or evenboth at the same time. We'll let @The_Capt figure out all the details.

Crazy enough for yaz?

[dan/california]

Sometimes these Russian assaults feel like an elaborate form of ritual suicide.

Of course he did. Based on your interactions so far I am not ready to believe anything you are saying. I am starting to buy into sburkes theory though. IO is an interesting game if you read into it. I met some people who worked in that business back in the day.

Your play appears to be “disrupt, discredit and degrade”. You attack the purpose of the thread, the community and content. It plays out like a troll drive by but you are trying to plant seeds of doubt in any other lurkers or new observers. Further, you are trying to get an overreaction from us and eventually admin to show everyone just what a closed community we are building here. You are pretty weak at this and not all that sophisticated but it is your most likely play.

At the same time, while you are playing “hey everyone look here!” The other guy backs off and starts to look more reasonable by comparison. He is still selling pro-Russian talking points in the background. The trigger was likely getting caught out on the whole Google Translate thing. Suddenly we are not talking about that anymore because you showed up and pulled a frontal.

You already have a few long time members engaged, so you likely think you are getting somewhere. But we are 1) bored and 2) kind of a sick bunch. You are being batted around like an interesting mouse in a room full of cats. We know the broom stick is on the way but all want to fill the void where our souls used to be. 

Or maybe this is not a play and just two random who showed up on the same day. In the end it won’t really matter.

Oh, definitely pro-Russian, maybe MAGA…both? The US dragged into another costly and hopeless war….therefore we should….(I think we all know how this sentence ends).

Gotcha. So, seriously, they are paying you for this work, right? What does it pay?
