Support NeoGAF

[Superkamikaze]

I don't know how Russia will recover economically from this. A huge chunk of their big companis are about to go belly up and the poor are gonna get a lot poorer.

Oil and natural gas sales will continue to EU nations (half of Russias gdp), and trade with China / India will probably continue in some capacity.

The war could be ended today...stop exporting of all track suits to Russia and gold chains. I'll go ahead and accept the Nobel Peace Prize

They wont. And if they do, it'll be 10 or 20 years.

Even if war stopped today and Russia pulled out of Ukraine, all those sanctions and corporations leaving Russia arent going to return to normal tomorrow.

These business decisions will go on for years. Maybe even a decade for some things.

Don't forget BMW and cigarettes and it gotta Adidas for the tracksuits

Seriously now. This is BATSHIT crazy (go for the entire thread)



and another analysis on why the air war isn't working for the Russians

The Mysterious Case of the Missing Russian Air Force

On the fifth day of the Russian invasion of Ukraine, one of many unanswered questions is why Russia has launched a military campaign at huge cost with maximalist objectives, and then declined to use the vast majority of its fixed wing combat aircraft.

Did you also figure out how Alex Jones predicted the war in February back in October?

Doesn't he predict a war every year. Eventually shit tossed to the wall will stick.

Don't watch him so wouldn't know those details. Although, that does go with a thought that he could have been supplying steady info for supporters of the war with developments.

Don't be so sure about it. Remember that money has no nation nor ideology, and that it smells so damn good to some people...

But I can see a coup-de-etat there in the short term.

Today alone there are videos of 3 different (confirmed by different numbers on them) downed russian SU-25s. There's reason why russian airforce is largely missing. They are getting ass blasted and seem to be afraid to lose their most precious planes.

 

[Romulus]

Lol all the YouTube videos praising Russian military prowess before this war.

Where?

I’m reading stuff from parents with kids with disabilities. Some kids can’t find foods that they’re not allergic to and some can’t even find diapers. This sounds like a total cluster. We gave $200 to someone we know cause her kid has a disability and she can’t provide for him during this. Credit cards are frozen as well.

Could be even worse for the poor Russian conscripts than we thought. Jesus…

The Ukranians got the SU-25 and the SAR chopper.

The article explain this. The tried a "american way of war"/shock and awe without the air component for the first 3-4 days. Now we will begin to see the "soviet" way of war. (massive land forces, heavy shelling etc.)

 

[Rest]

Seriously though could Russia deliberately or inadvertently set off a megaton blast at this plant or Chernobyl without actually dropping a nuke by shelling and or setting off a bomb and then blaming it on an errant ukranian missile or something?

Here's another video that mentions a failed nuclear test:

 

[Kimahri]

I'm baffled by Putin and his goons. How stupid do they think people are? Sitting there telling other state leaders that Russia bombing cities is just false propaganda?

Does he think we are all dum dums who'll gobble up whatever horseshit he serves, or is he actually so pitifully stupid that he thinks that shit will stick?

I'm at a complete loss. It's like he looked to North Korean leadership and thought "yeah, that's the way to do it".

Well that’s just fucking terrifying especially when the Chernobyl sarcophagus has seen better days and could get shelled too at this rate… it seems like a meltdown would be inevitable at this plant if they resume the fire fight.

He is stupid alright, but you underestimate how stupid ppl are too.

The horseshit he serves are not for you, but a majority of Russians, and i can assure you plenty gobble it up, it is the same thing with China.

Razor solution to the prediction.

[Alebrije]

Fertilizers should be put out of sanctions the same way Oil and Gas are. Nitrogen based fertilizer are a must to massive crops like corn but in general are used on all type of crops.

Before invasion the prices were high , Urea doubled its price from january 2021 to 2022.

This will affect food prices because there are not other sources for Nitrogen based fertilizes in the short term.

Which is why certain stupid politicians with bad combovers knee jerk calling his invasion “Smart” on day one of the is more laughable now that Putin’s gone off the rails and invaded the whole country not just the renegade areas.

I'm still in awe of the fact that people are buying, hook line and sinker, the fabricated media narratives built from chopped up, out of context comments.

They literally just installed a new one in 2016.

EA says it will not sell games through Origin, the EA app, or "platform partners" while Russia's invasion of Ukraine continues.

That's dumb. If they want to demoralize Russians, give them all a copy of Battlefield 2042.

The justification for this war is actually far less convincing than those shitty COD/BF war plots.

When you got the amount of absolutely delusional and mindboggling laws Russia has imposed, its not a surprise they have gotten away with it. Their dissenters and critics are silenced, intimidated, or punished for standing up to the authoritarian regime.

So, as such they have large control over the message they broadcast to the population. Most fail to realize its propaganda because they likely don't question the authority. Its either "accept" the narrative or suffer the consequences for going against it.

The most bizarre thing in a week already too bizarre to be believed is that Dutch anti-vaxxers, lead by the now infamous Willem Engel, have decided (mere days after all restrictive measures that were supposed to herald the new world order were lifted) that the best way to spend their time now is to support the Putin regime.

That is not enough to cover the damage the sanctions are doing to the rest of the country though. Its a band aid on a bullet wound at best.

 

[SF Kosmo]

This was always the plan, the point here is mostly to secure untapped crude oil resources off the shore of Crimea and in the east around Donbas. The existing conflicts there were largely meant as repellent to the Western oil interest coming in and tapping those resources, which would seriously undercut Russia's chief export. That's the game here, just to secure Russia's oil dominance in Europe.

But that's also why the severe economic warfare being waged by the west is probably the best way you could combat them. If they're worried about money, they better rethink their tactics.

I remember reading articles before the war started people said it was for a resource grab and Ukraine is it. I dont know anything about Ukraine, but it makes sense. If they got tons of resources and it's all ready to go with people and infrastructure, it's the perfect land grab vs. Russia extracting resources from their gigantic land mass building more infrastructure in isolated places.

[rofif]

I don't understand the propaganda. Russian people apparently do not believe that they started a war on ukraine. They dont believe russians are bombing and killing.
Like wtf. You fucking old fools. There is internet and free access to any information. It's not north korea. But these old assholes only look at the Tv. I know, it;s the same in Poland
