Ukrainian and Russian soldiers after being released from captivity (the one on the right claims that the evil Nazis beat him and did not feed him)

Talked with acquaintances from Crimea. Under the pretext of mobilization, they are actively carrying out raids in the areas of compact residence of the Crimean Tatars. It is said that 80-90% of mobilized men are Crimeans. This is the genocide of the indigenous population of the peninsula - the citizens of Ukraine for the time being. territories

More and more it’s coming out that Putin was obviously lying. A whole lot of people being conscripted were not prior military service, were parents or college students, etc.  Lots of people being rounded up in the middle of the night.  And supposedly conscription officers are working the lines of cars at the borders. These people better get there shit together fast, and it’s starting to look like more than 300,000.

This thread talks about it.

As a sparsely populated democracy stuck between two hegemonic dictatorships, that is as close to spewing hot fire as Mongolia will get.

First war I've seen the US on the side of the good guys in my entire life. I'm 34 so maybe someone has a rebuttal.

Gulf War I--Iraq was the aggressor, and it was dead right that we (along with the rest of the world acting under UN authority) expelled Iraq from Kuwait.

Bosnia & Kosovo--fuck the Serbs.  They were out there committing genocide.  We were definitely "on the side of the good guys" in that one (also acting under UN authority).

Afghanistan--they were harboring al Qa'ida.  We told them to hand over bin Laden, and they told us to go fuck ourselves.  You can say that we didn't manage the war and the reconstruction well, but that's not to say that we weren't "on the side of the good guys."

Syria/ISIS--I mean, fuck those guys, right?  I mean, you can say a lot of bad things about stuff we've done in Mesopotamia over the past 30 years.  But fuck those guys, right?

Korea--I mean, that's still technically a war, right?

And then there's a bunch of wars that we haven't taken as active a role, but in which we were on the side of the good guys.  The Russian invasion of Georgia, the Mexican drug war, the Paraguayan and Columbian insurgencies all jump to mind.

Seems like a good reason to bomb the shit out of a country with millions of innocent people who had nothing to do with any of that shit.

The US is an elephant. Huge and powerful, but not a strategic thinker. It will astound the world at times with feats of apparently unexpected intelligence, and at other times terrify everyone with destructive fits of rage. 
 
The US is at its best when it lets the UK do its strategic thinking. From their Indian experience, they know the trick to managing the elephant is to do it in a manner where it thinks it is acting in its own.

UK did a smashing job of strategic thinking with the Sykes-Picot Agreement. Put that Indian experience to good use.

I work with a lot of brits. They cannot shed their colonial attitude. They did not win in Malay, Oman, etc. They broke up the populations. I was in Helmand when shit got real hard and they ran. In came the US Marines. 

I say this with a British partner and talk to them all the damn time. Those who have been on the ground, and not in government (FO) or MOD know this is the trust. Worst fuckers to work with in the Middle East as well. Let me have a team of Americans, Canadians or South Africans any day. Aussies are just fun as shit to be around. 

Also, concerning Bosnia. We were under US command on a NATO mission. Only our Police Advisors were part of the UN. IFOR was a damn good model. Watch for something like that in Ukraine.

Exactly, when Wilson was suggesting restraint after WW1, and helped lead the forming of the League of Nations with the hopes of minimizing conflict through dialog and familiarity he really fucked up.   When the US tried again with the United Nations, which is largely bankrolled by the US, we really fucked that up as well.  When the US oversaw the reconstruction of two belligerent nations, we royally fucked them up.  I mean West Germany and Japan are total shitholes and not dominant economic partners within their regions that have started exactly 0 wars since.

Inside Russia has seen a huge police increase out and about , and is hearing a lot of stuff, and is seeing a serious efficiency in them mobilizing/conscripting.  He’s also sarcastic as hell, talking about all of the super-patriotic Russians who had Z decals on the cars are now getting their wish and their chance to fight, and the official line about NATO fighting us, but he hasn’t seen the evidence..

Seems like the assholes in armor should be on the front line. One question people asked about the evil of the KGB, and how they could do that to their own relatives, was well you did not have to go to a gulag. Seems like little has changed. 

Fuck Russia. Signed Ivan Denisovich. 

 

#42096

They eventually have to give these guys live ammo. Have to figure there will be a hell of a lot of friendly fire casualties 

#42097

What a great mobilization. also, looks like they are wearing firefighter uniforms. At least they (hopefully) are flame retardant.

All of these dudes are going to surrender at the first opportunity.

Sadly, I am not sure of that. The authorities know who their families are, where they live, work, etc. Look at the history of what happened to Russian soldiers who surrendered in WW2. 20+5, special sentence. Family could not buy food. No right of correspondence. Work until you die from hunger Yuri. I brought up a Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich. That is what they are facing. Good quick read to see the how fucked up the Russian system was/is. And the author was a decorated LT, caught in a pincer movement by the Germans, and still got back to his lines. Straight to the Gulag. 

Russia is heading back to the Soviet model. On one of the videos posted earlier, mobilization center, it was a soviet symbol in front of the stage, not Russian Federation. If they surrender, will the west take them in? Ukraine has its own problems for the next decade. They cannot assimilate a bunch of rag tag Russians from the Far East and Dagestan.
