Russia's Invasion of Ukraine (Official Thread)

[Scottie Drippin]

The real problem is, even when Russia installs their new government.....it won't mean anything. There's no rift here. Ukraine wants to remain independent. Russia will have to occupy this country and they just can't do it. Ukraine is too big.

Putin must have really believed Ukraine would give up and just accept it. Unbelievable.

And the Russian losses are going to be staggering. They're going to have to kill every man in that country to end this. There's just no fathomable result here for them.

So how do you see it playing out then?

Will Russia just decide to cut their losses and go back home at some point?

Because of many factors. The privatization process would give vouchers for shares of state owned factories etc
But to get a major part of vouchers you had to be someone or know somebody. The old communist elite was naturally the closest to the process and settled in. It was a free for all and yeah, west was too busy celebrating ussr falling apart to notice regular people getting fukked over. And regular people had no concept of economy or basiccapitalist market so they fell prey to every ponzi scheme and pyramid in existence.


One of the main reasons Putin has this power because most Russians hate the 90s when they were dirt poor there was chaos in the streets and everyone was corrupt on every level and there was no one they could complain to.


Part of soviet union nostalgia was that even tho people werent rich there was stability and order, even if the party was corrupt.

It’s kinda fascinating. It’s like there’s this nostalgic synthesis of Soviet era stability and power projection x Tsarist grandeur and prestige within a backdrop of perceived national shame from the 90s experience going on. It kinda compares to Germany and the great betrayal except they aren’t nearly the crazy conspiracy theorists that the Nazis were but there might be a reluctance to acknowledge their own role in there issues in the 90s they feel so aggrieved over.

I think Putin will be forced to buy civil unrest. But I think we're looking at months here.

I wonder how are Iraqis feeling right now about getting invaded in 2003

Russia are scumbags but objectively this isnt really much of a different playbook re. security via reporting BS to invade (re. Saddams WMDs). CACs gonna CAC
