Russia's Invasion of Ukraine (Official Thread)

[thatrapsfan]

If China gets the flexing on Taiwan and this Russia thing is protracted by months, just know the price of the brick, the car and the gas are going up

Chip shortage is already an issue and Taiwan got like 65% of global production.

I’d be looking to cop a bike right now cuz when a 5-yr old Honda Accord starts going for $15-$20K and gas hits $5-6 a gallon nationwide, it’s gonna be a wrap like a burrito.

Oh yea, interest rate hikes coming next month as well.

China is a rational actor though and a major energy importer. High energy prices hurt them as well and ultimately their major goals are economic in the immediate term. I think they are definitely taking notes and increases likelihood of Taiwan invasion, but dont think it will happen soon.

I'm not anti-capitalist or anti- American like some of you international citizens on here but some of these analyst talking about "this is the biggest invasion in the past 100 years" is hilarious because they are acting like Iraq never happened

I think in terms of sheer numbers involved on either side it is bigger than Iraq. Not to mention the potential ramifications due to allegiances etc. Can't see how it's not the biggest since the invasion of Poland.

Breh you nikkas have it wrong. There is no worldwide expansion of current the Russia state in today's world. It's impossible.

With the act comes the credits. He'll have no choice but to attain and distribute resources in an extremely restricted economy while occupying sovereign lands.

Another thing, this lunatic has been discussing World War 3 like it's happening in an eminent. This dude has been playing too many video games and is unhinged.

More protests in Russia

Boris is right hit them fukkin pockets

Boris is calling for things he knows will never happen just to score some points. Don't be fooled, both he and his government are knee-deep in Russian money.

It's gonna be incredible to see how this plays out

Like I said.... same people who said it makes no financial sense to invade another country in 2022 are now the same ones saying he wants to run an expansion Russia state

It's impossible.

What you've known of Russia last 20 years is over unless someone murks Putin. They'll be lining people up to self sustain their country for 15 cents an hour

According to google the US and allies dropped 1,300 missiles during "Shock and Awe" and 177,000 coalition troops invaded.



Russia has dropped 100 missiles so far according to reports.


It's just the first day of this campaign but still.

The protest from another view. Think of the optics of this, brehs.

Americans started protesting the Iraq war after several months, maybe even a couple years, when we started learning that we were fed lies.

The russian people are protesting a war that just launched TODAY. That is huge. They know that there's no justification for this, at all.

At least in the early days of Iraq, we had justification, no matter how false it turned out to be later... but we felt justified and the American ppl were united with Bush.

Putin is facing opposition from his ppl on day one.

This is why I keep saying, he overplayed his hand. This won't end well for him.
