Looks like the Caspian Flotilla is the next target for Ukraine's military humiliation of Russia's naval assets. Group reports sinking of 1 Buryan patrol vessel while there are also reports that drones struck the same port that this ship was docked at and destroyed a Grachonok patrol vessel as well. Meanwhile the Black Spark group also reported bombing two gas pipelines around St. Petersburg

No such thing is possible, only Trump and Xi would call such a thing "legitimate" when the whole world knows monke will just beg for sanction relief and a "peace" that will last just long enough for him to stockpile bananan and chimp out again.

>>65165117
I can't see Putin asking for anything less than Luhansk, Donetsk, Zaporizhia, Kherson & Crimea, he needs those gas fields or the war was a failure and Ukraine will still replace Russia as Europes gas supplier.
That is what this whole thing was really about, Ukraine was developing the gas fields and the EU wanted to buy from them instead of Russia which would cripple the Russian economy.
The one bit of good news for Russia is a few Asian countries might be desperate enough to buy from them so long as the Strait of Hormuz remains closed.

Anon by the end of the GWOT everyone was just glad it was over and didn't really give a shit we lost, and our casualties were basically nothing.
I don't fully understand the Russians but at this point if the pitch is leaving Ukraine or general mobilization I think they will take the L and just cope that it was actually a victory.
I can't see the guy that just spent 2 years getting droned being too upset it's over.

It was signed and on paper if the US provided aid they would get resource extraction rights in Ukraine post war.

Trump was talking about it, and it's largely meaningless unless Ukraine gets all of Donbass and all the mineral deposits.

Its interesting how rarely this is mentioned as mining/petro engineer it was pretty obvious if you knew politics.


Ukraine has the pipelines in place already. And is a competitive supplier to russia without political baggage or threat of nuking The perfidious Saxons. The gas fields would last " only " 15 years but that was in line with European plans to slowly decarbon and build up renewables. Black sea has more. That's also why the Russian sacrificed so much on snake island. They wanted to get the Maritime exclusive economic zone it would project. (Small island a worth a lot look at the Greek islands fucking over the turks)
The oil money and stability would lead to a influx of western companies that want to deChina some supplychains with cheap labor. The logistics over sea, Bosporus etc are actually quite ok.

Russia needed to attack having a rich pro EU neighbor that steals your customers would cost them billions. Russian would see that Ukrainans have Ikea and flush toilets and get mad. Oligarchy can't have that ...

No anon, what he means is that they are Russian territories under RUSSIAN LAW, which means he would, in fact, have to explain to the Russian people why exactly he is giving up what he declared to be rightful Russian clay. Turns out that formally "annexing" territory that you haven't actually secured yet is really fucking retarded.

By the way, wasn't the whole annexation thing a legal loophole to allow Putin to deploy mobiks because Russian law states that consripts cannot be deployed outside of Russian territories when not in a formally declared war?

No such thing. They can't possibly accept reasonable terms
>>
>>65165384
They will when it finally dawns on Putin that Russia is too weak to impose terms and will instead have to negotiate properly and in good faith, including making heavy concessions.

We're in the first stages now, see; Putin's "SVO will be ending soonish" comment. That was almost certainly for domestic reassurance rather than an actual serious statement of intent, but is shows that Putin is starting to understand that his position is much weaker than he thought it was.
>>

>>
>>65165358
Except as the anon said, yes he has to care. At least he has to pretend to care. Putin has to, under 'law' uphold the territory of the Russian Federation and protect its citizens. Since he and Russia as a whole has declared the oblasts 'official Russian territory' then he has an obligation to protect them. In the eyes of the law, they are being occupied by a hostile military power, so he is obligated to go and free them with the military. In reality declaring them Russian territory was to get around the loophole that soldiers (with money) were using which was getting lawyers to block their deployment to Ukraine by citing that the Russian military has no 'offensive war' rules, as in, you cannot officially send Russian soldiers into foreign territory in an offensive capacity (you can if you're attacked but you can't start it). So soldiers were avoiding it or were being 'put into reserves' so they didn't have to go to the front. But if the land is officially Russian? Well you're fucked. Since the law states that any military personnel can be deployed to protect Russian territory, officially, they're being sent to garrison/protect the area... In reality they're used to land grab. There is no legal way out of this, because the land is officially Russian in the eyes of the law. Finally, the second important reason Putin did this was to make leadership a 'poisoned chalice'. If anybody thought about killing him to end the war, settling a peace deal and returning to filling their pockets by selling gas and stealing research project and military funding, then they're stuck having to 'uphold the territorial integrity of the Russian Federation' which means that somebody ELSE could legally go "You're not fulfilling your duties, we're arresting you" and somebody who would be willing to continue the war would get in.

So that's ultimately it.

Correct. Any deals made by Trump and/or Xi are completely irrelevant unless the EU and Ukraine sign on. Remember; the sanctions that hurt Russia the most are those that have been imposed by Europe and the majority of Russia's frozen forex assets are sitting in European banks, not American or Chinese ones. The US and China have no say in what happens to those sanctions or assets.

My clueless friends, russia is a neo-feudal KGB mafia state. There are no laws, there are no courts, there are no institutions - it's all fake decorations for clueless foreigners. A fig leaf designed to make the degenerate mongoloid regime look "civilized" and "european". The russian constitution does not matter, it's a like a cheap whore, only to be user for a buck. If the russians laws mattered, czar monke would've been in prison decades ago along with most of his faggot brigade.
>>
>>65165424
But there are laws. I just mentioned them.
>b-b-b-b-but the elites....
Yeah? And? No shit. But it's a bit like how it is illegal in Alaska to whisper in somebody's ear while hunting. How many people are going to go an report that violation? You might let it slide until your friend fucks your wife then you mention he did it and he's punished for it. My point is the laws exist, the fact the elites aren't punished for it is irrelevant, rather. They can use it to punish people when they need to. In this case, as I said, people were using the legal system to avoid being deployed, the oblasts being Russian means they couldn't any more. Simple as that. It also means that any CONSCRIPT (rather than professional) can also be deployed.

After 6 months of Russia slowly advancing and Ukraine making a fighting retreat Ukie drone production has reached the point they have been advancing behind a wall of drones and Russia lost territory over the last 2 months.
>>
>>65165437
Its tipped from Stalemate(Russia favored) to Stalemate(Ukraine favored), with Ukraine's advantage growing steadily.

No sign of any massive breakthroughs yet, but Putin and his regime can no longer deny that they cannot prevent Ukrainian strikes on Russia proper. Also, there was a massive internet crackdown in Russia, blocking pretty much all foreign websites and forcing everyone to use a government controlled app. These actions are not things that winners do, and the Russian people are nooooticing.

Once again, there aren't any "laws" in any modern civilized context in russia. There is only the will of the regime. Hence why things like Wagner could exist for a decade despite being illegal in russia from the point of view of "laws".

>>65165437
>Can anyone give me a quick rundown on the situation of the war?
- ukies went all-in on drones, created a whole new section of the army for unmanned systems;
- explosive growth in usage, manufacturing and development of drones, both for short range strikes, mid-range strikes and long-range strikes, both air, sea and land;
- this resulted and steady growth of RU KIA, 35K per month already, the plan is to reach 50K KIA per month;
- this is causing issues because this overtook RU recruitment numbers, for like 3-5 months russians are losing more than they recruit;
- this caused their tempo to first go to zero and now go into the negatives;
- one of the ways this is done by creating internal incentives for people to capture footage of kills and plug it into the report system, getting e-points for everything, which can be used in an internal "amazon of drones";
- AA interceptor drones are now also a thing and have great results in shooting down Shahed drones;
- ukies strikes inside russia grew tremendously and now quantity (destroying a ton of RU AA systems) is transforming into quality (being able to strike deeper and more targets);
- RU oil export ports got hit quite badly;
- recently mosqueov got hit as well;

It's hard to export oil when all the refineries, terminals and storage facilities are on fire. Though to be pedantic, that's specific 40% number comes from the terminal near st Petersburg being hit. Hard to say exactly how true that number is now, but it's definitely had an effect.

Very 2025.

Per RU MoD leaks from a few months ago, on the other hand, those indicate Putin wants to continue the war into 2028 (minimally) before actually deciding what to do, given whatever is the reality on the ground at that time. Expect nothing sooner unless the wheels on the Russian economy really do come off.

He literally can't. They'll smile, nod, say some meaningless platitudes at a press conference, and ignore whatever Trump said or did or demanded.
For proof of this, look at all teh 'deals'Trump made with the EU.
>If they refuse he can impose tariffs on them
He tried, his own Supreme Court, staffed by people he himself appointed for life, said 'no'.
>or dismantle nato and leave them to die against a China supplied russia
Russia can't defeat Ukraine, and China will smile and watch Russia bleed out.
And then simply walk into Siberia while making very angry (and empty) gestures towards Taiwan and in the South China Sea.

>Eu is not a power nor will it ever be
The sheer irony here is that the EU never really wanted to be one, but now Trump has set the stage and forced them to become one.

If they cant stop massacring each other over a century after the fact there was never any hope for then anyway. Same goes for Africa, the first thing the African league agreed on was the borders imposed by the west, because they knew changing them wold just result in even more killing.

>>65166472
And who is going to enforce those tariffs? Certainly not the armed forces that refused to follow him into Iran.

>Mohammad Reza Pahlavi
Deposed half a century ago, repalced by a regime that happily slaughters its own people, other Arabs (see comments in this thread about Iran-funded militias in Lebanon, Syria, Iraq, Yemen)
Do note that each of these Arab states was destroyed by civil wars directly linked to these militias, with zero western involvement.

>Saddam Hussein
Ah yes, deposed almost 25 years ago by. . .the US. After being invaded by the whole fucking western world 35 years ago when he tried to annex his neighbors.
Don't get me wrong, he absolutely tried to genocide the Kurds, but calling him a 'western puppet' is delusional.
>Fahd bin Abdulaziz Al Saud
OK, you're just full-on delusional. The Saudis are probably the most independent actors of all the Arab and Muslim states.
Sure, they are an absolutist kingdom, with Sharia law. But that is the highest goal of all Muslims, is it not?

Just buying US weapons does not turn a country into a 'US supported dictatorship',

just like he forced ukraine to surrender and the ayazuttahs to open the hormuz straight kek.

agent orange is an impotent cuck that always TACOs out. His only purpose left is to hog as much money he can for him and his trailer trash family. From insider trading to bribes. Like the ones gulf states gave him (KEK) in 2025

congress is impotent and supreme court only deals with issues that go back at least half a year. to not deal with flavor of the day hot topics

the stock market is what strained him since it started crashing as soon as he revealed his "liberation day" (liberating you of your wallet). He has done over 3700 stock trades in the last QUARTER alone with sums of up to 500 million and exiting with over 700 million USD

Donnie, his family, and the leeches who surround him are quite literally stripmining the US economy.
Unfortunately, the only people who give a fuck are too retarded to get the point across in a coherent manner. Or, they cried "Wolf!" too many times in the past, and now nobody listens to them.

If you read his initial Fatwa from 1996 he lumps together all non believers in a "Judeo-Christian" alliance. To him, Israel's massacres in Lebanon and Russia's massacres in Chechnya are America's fault because the US sanctioned him which prevented him from buying weapons.

In his view the Afghans had defeated the Soviet Union and cause it to collapse, and so the next step was to provoke the US into an unwinnable war to cause it to collapse as well.

In his view the presence of non Muslims in holy Muslim lands alone was an unsufferable provocation.

The irony here is that the actual Luftwaffe staff told Goering that they were going to get bombed, specifically by the RAF.
They expected the RAF to operate from French bases, of course, so after France collapsed all the paint huffing nazis in charge got a reprieve from reality and kepr the focus on spamming their own light bombers.

No, my cunt doesn't use goods form the strait afaik. So, back to our discussion, did you say your prayers before the next round of bombings begins?

>No they hated your government supporting genocidal dictators. Still even the claps that didn't understand why 9/11 happened would understand why if Iran hit them today.
I think zoomers were actually taught this in school. It boggles the mind that something so recent could have been subject to historical revision. The actual dude told everyone why he did it, and it sure as fuck wasn't supporting genocidal dictators.

There's so much retarded fuddlore and propaganda about bin laden. Like nothing America could have done differently would have changed his viewpoint. Even abandoning Israel wouldn't have been enough. Ironically it's one of those bell curve memes, where the low iq and high iq explanation are both:

Because he really did, he viewed every single facet of American culture as a corrupting influence

Muslims in general and Arabs in particular are on the schizo spectrum, they always come up with the most convoluted explanations for simple things that happened.

However, the king of Saudi Arabia who was killed bu his son returning from the United States must have caused quite a few Saudis to feel like their country had become a foreign puppet.
>>
>>65166931
IIRC his primary beef with the Saudis was asking America to guard them against Saddam in Kuwait instead of taking his offer to do it.

Things must be going really bad in Russia if they have to deflect hard like this.

like the other 2 billion mudslimes is that America was for all of the 20th century 90% Christian and aligned with the Jews and the muds hate both of them

Violence begets violence, especially with the Cold war, Israel, and Iran throwing fuel on every fire they see.

No, they realized that after the colonials left, they'd rather just take their jobs on top of the pile, rather than actually decolonizing (the DRC still basically functions as an extra I've empire, for example)
>changing them would just result in even more killing.
Katanga or the Tuaregs seceding would have caused more violence? I don't know what version of the Eastern Congo or Sahel your world has, but it really could not have gone any worse.

It was equally where you stand = where you sit. When you suddenly are in power now the idea of giving up territory means giving up your power. One of the universal features of joining the good old boys club of states is the taboo of partition. Secessionism can get tolerated as a realpolitik move, but partition or the idea of normalizing breaking up a country on ethnic lines is treated as denying the eucharist for its level of scandal in modern politics. I remember when Biden back around 06 floated the idea for Iraq and everyone just about screeched at him until he shut up. With African countries secessionism has a similar "Hey man, you're breaking the gentlemen's agreements" same as why I think it was Sierra Leone or Liberia got on a shit list by other Africans as it wasn't a proper coup (Enlisted men, not officers, and executing the former head of state).

If Nigeria condones Katanga leaving the Congo, then in a few years the Igbo want to leave and feel emboldened to do so. Then the Tutsi or the Hutu want to then it spreads like an epidemic as much as Islamist revolutionaries did after 1979 or Liberal revolutionaries did after 1791.

>>65165798
The "they hate our freedumbs" shit was cringe but Bin Laden was straight up assblasted that the Saudi royals rejected his plan to use Mujahideen to fight Saddam and instead called the US to deploy Op Desert Shield.
9/11 happened because a trust fund kid who got a kick out of doing war tourism got cucked out of his next aura-farming session. That's why they attacked the WTC in 1993, just a couple of years after the Gulf War.

Mudslimes are commanded not to in their book. They must put the unbelievers under the jizya yoke, Deus vult.

In contrast, even Orthodox Jews are integral to support of the Christian pilgrimages to Israel. Which is a greater magnanimity than even I personally would have allowed.
