Russian Invasion of Ukraine

PLEASE NOTE:

Want a resource link to send funds to besides the armed forces? Please check out the tweet below.

I try to update this OP at least weekly with new Ukraine war maps from Al-Jazeera further below.

This OP was originally oriented around an original thread on Five Eyes intelligence of an upcoming invasion first posted here in November 2021 that was changed to reflect the invasion that officially began in February 2022 and then subsequent posts were deleted as a result of the April 2022 forum reset.

 US will be Europe’s security & energy guarantor for at least another generation. Poor Putin! We love to see it. 

 

I hope China pays attention cause as soon as they attack Taiwan, I am sure all its neighbors will call for the US to be even more present in Asia. They may f*ck around & end up  with an Asian NATO messing with bid daddy Biden.

It's still so funny to see how it all completely backfired on Putin. Good rideance and I pray the whole thing is over sooner rather than later.

[frenchyisback]

Zekinski is so petty. Imagine snubbing Germany right now as if they are not gonna be one of the most important country in the coming struggle against Russia.

 

 Merkel was a clown but the past is the past. You don’t have time to be petty with ur Allies in wartime.

The German president is irrelevant compared to the chancellor anyway so no big deal, plus lots of germans agree with zelenskyy about steinmeier

The "most important" country has been messing with Ukraine for years now. Also, Zelensky confirmed he never received any official request from Steinmeier to visit Ukraine.

Putin's political career started with this lie:

Right? Day 48 and they're still fighting. Jesus Christ. All Putin has done is show the world how inept he is as a military leader and how weak his military is. Even if Russia eventually takes Ukraine, which it probably will, Putin will literally have nothing to show for it but a collapse economy, bruised ego, and wounded military.

 

Meanwhile, this is only strengthening NATO and now expanding it; Putin's worst nightmare.

At most he will take the Donbas and Crimea who he already took back in 2014. He will take Donbas even if he has to resort to the most horrific srategies towards civilians. The real test is if he will be able to take all the south part that connects that with Crimea. Hopefully they aren't able to

 

I hope the military help aids Ukraine to push them and humilliate Russia and his ass. The ideal case would be for him to not take **** but we'll see

[ZIVERT]

The sinking of the Moskva… I love this song 

 

Also, Germans need to be tougher on their government and stand with Ukraine. German appeasement of Russia is half of the reason why we’re in this mess in the first place. Germans love to come to Kyiv for our clubs and cheap thrills, at least stand up for us

no they're not taking Ukraine that's for sure, even Putin realized that

this is the reason why they switched their goals from the 'liberation of Ukraine' to the 'liberation of the East' (basically Donbas and a part of Kharkiv oblast)
