Russia-Ukraine Megathread 31(upload.wikimedia.org)

Having watched a few wars over the years “Winning” is such a… it’s a concept for armchair paradox 4x nerds. Russia is significantly depleting Ukraine’s military resources and causing real damage to their military infrastructure. So that may achieve some of their goals. Ukraine probably won’t have any less territory than it started with at the end of the war, assuming the DPR and LPR hold out. Russia has pissed off everyone west of the Neva but it increasingly seems like that doesn’t matter and they’re rallying to take advantage. If the Russian’s manage to deplete the Ukrainian military to the point where they can’t launch further attacks on the DPR and the LPR then at least the republics “Win”. Assuming they don’t end up so economically devastated by the fighting that their victory leaves them broken and destitute. And of course we seem on a course that makes WWIII inevitable at some point, as the fear of nuclear apocalypse seems to have been forgotten. Or maybe it’s just a realpolitik move - Global warming will be far more destructive than a full nuclear exchange, and the aftermath will last millenia instead of decades, so maybe the powers that be are wagering that they a nuclear war won’t be any worse than the climate apocalypse that is already inevitable.

-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --

-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --
