Armed forces of Russia have a suicide issue.
>>65236649Did he later die from his injuries by falling onto two bullets with the back of his skull?
>>65236649>suicide issue.well, yeah, thats just your opionion man
So do IDF and U.S. Army / mil services.
>>65236649Let me guess this is according to twitter, instagram, and reddit?
Something's up to get a quick response like that.Either this is a falseflag thread or this guy is both important and dead and its making them upset.
>>65236649>injuries consistent with a fallIs there any way for a sentence to be more Russian?
ITT OP learns about the proud Russian tradition of defenestration.
>>65236649Nyet, Russia has problem of window.Russian windows is of much danger, responsible of many oligarch death.
>>65236676According to Russian regular media.
I swear falling out of a building has to be in the top 5 causes of death in Russia after Alcoholism but before cancer
>>65236655we now have a video of a suicide at a range where a guy did manage to double tap his head with a pistol
>>65236751tropical frog poisonings in siberian prisons, obviously if you know your frogs.
>>65236655He smothered himself with a pillow while comatose. It is a common happening. It is why troops aren't issued pillows.
>>65236649It was an ACCIDENT, and if you dare to say otherwise you might just have an accident yourself.
Did you guys know that Russians stole even defenestration from other, better peoples? There's a saying that Russians have only one legitimate invention, the samovar, and even then they had to steal taps from Germans to it.
>>65236859Yes, very serious accident. Highly contagious.
>>65236797>video of a suicide at a range where a guy did manage to double tap his head with a pistolHis own head, or another guy suicided the first one?
>>65236900Fat brown guy manages to get off 4 or 5 shots, hits himself in the head at least twice and domes the RSO trying to stop him.
>>65236911Got the video or a link?
>>65236984I have it right here but I'm not sharing it.
>>65237084Mean.
>>65236655Shot himself twice with polonium tea.
>>65236649Was he competent though?
>>65237221FSB kills people either because they need to punish someone and warn others, or because the victim did something politically inconvenient like feeding intel to enemy, called Putin monke or plotting to defect to the West
>>65237230Anon, that doesn't answer my question of whether or not he was competent
>>65237084post it on gif
>>65237249ntaHis command was entirely unremarkable. Which makes his defenestration rather curious.
>>65236797There's another video of a marine vet that loses his shit at a gas station, draws a pistol, plugs the clerk in the chest multiple times, before shooting himself in the temple twice.Amazingly, he stayed standing after the first shot, but he was clearly very wobbly for a second or two before he managed to shoot himself again.
>>65236649>guy in charge of conscription got zeroed outtoo many fake soldiers got "signed" or he got blamed for failing too meet the required quota too often. either way he's a warning for others to get their shit together before they're going to announce full mobilization.
>>65236797>>65237304I also just remembered there's a video of a russian shooting himself twice in the head with an AK-74.
>>65237274Unremarkable guys tend to be perfect moles.
>>65236655>he thinks Russia can afford to waste bullets
>>65237314Quick chin delete.
Right now i am thinking about the meme comic of the nerd guy standing from his PC to close down the window curtains because he noticed fireworks outside. It could be changed with a falling russian general.

Speaking of mysterious accidents and illnesses in the Russian government/military; isn't their finance minister still missing?
>>65242124Just following orders, cumrade.
>>65242175shes not missing, the FSB knows exactly where she isI'm not FSB so I don't know where she is, but I CAN tell you where she isn't:Safe
>>65242175>>65242212Wait Elvira's missing?Shit i used to joke that she gets a panic attack every time she sees a window but i didn't expect it so soonMight be she chose to have a low profile on her own, she knows a scapegoat will be needed so she'd rather not make her an even more convenient target
>>65242234>Might be she chose to have a low profile on her ownShe always knew that the "SMO" would devastate the russian economy if it became a prolonged conflict, she tried to quit her job to distance herself from the inevitable economic collapse, knowing she'd be blamed for monke's fuck-ups.Monke&co refused to let her quit.She's effectively been a prisoner for years at this point, being followed around by FSB "bodyguards" that are really just there to make sure she doesn't try to escape or talk to anyone about just how fucked the economic situation truly is.Recently she's just disappeared.Maybe she got murdered. Maybe she's being forced to work from a literal prison cell at a secret FSB blacksite. We just don't know.
>>65242124mysterious russian soul
>>65242212>>65242234>>65242247According to tales-from-my-ass-tier rumors, she attempted to flee to the Emirates, but got caught by the FSB and placed under house arrest in one of their secret hideouts.
>>65242234Officially she's on "sick leave" from what I've heard. The most likely rumor going around is that she told Putin that if he doesn't put a pause in the fighting than she'll resign
>>65242271Poor woman. And she's not even safe from rape, she's not being held by an RUF branch.
>>65242283>she told Putin that if he doesn't put a pause in the fighting than she'll resignExcept she can't resign, she tried before earlier in the way and was denied
>>65242287Anon, at this point,"Resign" is just a polite euphemism for something more drastic....
>>65242124Voluntary surrender is considered a crime.
>>65236655more than two ways to die?In this economy!
>>65242287Some people were suggesting that she was getting ready to flee the country and the FSB caught wind of it, but I completely doubt that
>>65242175She isn't finance minister, she's a chairman of central bank. And her term was ending in 2027, so why would they rush it now? On the other hand, putin had a conference with central bank without her present, and allowed himself to take infinite loans because they burned through 2026 budget already.
>>65236656At least get the quote right
>>65242319>allowed himself to take infinite loansLiterally African dictatorship levels of economic competency and foresight.
>>65242319>>65242327I'm kind of starting to see why their commie party leader Zyuganov mentioned the situation of 1917 in a speech not long ago. Maybe it was a bit of a controlled opposition opinion probe, but anyways.He did later clarify that he supports the Putin government and specifically meant the economic collapse of 1917, not the overthrow of the government.
>>65242367A second communist revolution in Russia would be just about peak clown world>weren't there two revolutions?The first was pro democracy
>>65242367>mentioned the situation of 1917He wouldn't be the first russian to make such a comparison in public.A certain shell requesting catering company CEO made overt and explicit comparisons to the situation in 1917, shortly before a sudden and eventful road trip towards Moscow.
>>65237314Holy fuck he blew half his face away

>>65242319>>65242314Officially she is on sick leave, which can mean anything from 'she's sick' (the woman is over 60, that can happen) to 'she drank the spicy tea and is dead'We always knew the wild ride would be starting soon when she disappeared or had an accident.And it looks like southwestern Russia is pretty much out of fuel, with actual rationing in adjacent regions. And since the refineries are still getting droned, this situation wil not get better.Crimea is looking at food shortages, due to the lack of road transport and fuel. Makes you wonder why the rail bridge is not being used.On top of that the wider Russian economy is slowly grinding to a halt, because just printing more rubles stopped working.Yep. Ride is about to start.
>>65242367>the economic collapse of 1917, not the overthrow of the government.. . .but the economic collapse led to the revolution that overthrew the tsarist government. . . .
>>65242175Is only a sick leave))))))
>>65242283>>65242298
>>65242504>printing more rubles stopped workingNo shit, Russian economy's held together with string and chewing gum, and Elvira was the only one who knew how to tie the string without using too much of it.
I'm late to the thread. The Witch of Moscow is missing?
>>65242550The witch of moscow is dead, idiot. Putin's got her locked up in his basement.
>>65242552I used to joke about the US rescuing her as a replacement for Jerome Powell. She was a competent Russian.
>>65242319>She isn't finance minister, she's a chairman of central bank.To be fair if we talking about the actual brain everyone will think of Elvira first anyway because Siluanov, the finance minister, is a political yes-man that was put in place after his predecessor criticized dumb defense spending in 2011What should be more worrying for the average russian though is that the retard stated multiple times that the money russians have on savings accounts isnt't doing anything for the owner or the economy and that they're working on mechanisms that will allow to use them>>65242247>>65242271Russian sources say she's just ill, others seem to think that this might be a quiet removal, they can't get rid of her publicly because it would send any economist with two braincells into panic modeOne reason to do it would be switching cadres to facilitate going full mobilization but thats just speculation for now
>>65242234w8.. they got Elvira mistress of the bank ?dam
>>65242568>What should be more worrying for the average russian though is that the retard stated multiple times that the money russians have on savings accounts isnt't doing anything for the owner or the economy and that they're working on mechanisms that will allow to use themWhy can't Russians understand economics?
>>65242576Neither does 99% of people in the West
>>65242550>>65242568Before spreading rumors, wait just a few days. In a few days central bank is going to announce the next interest rate. If she won't appear = They got her.If she appeared, but the central bank decided to cut interest rate to like 7%. = Putin made an offer she couldn't refuseIf another 0.5% cut = just a rumor mill
>>65242594Judging by the reports from people like Inside Russia (dude on yt) there is no practical way for the Russian economy to get out of the death spiral.
>>65242616To add to what you said: Their defense industry has no long-term future. They devoured their young (R&D programs) in order to feed the war machine; no foreign nation except Algeria wants to buy their kit anymore.
>>65242623Forget the MIC soviet propaganda bullshitDefence is a net expense to the nation, defence exports never actually profitable
>>65242594Russian ministry of finance announced today that they will stop giving prefential loans to 25-30% of the applicants down from 90%. This will crash the housing market (or whatever is left of it) lmao
>>65242661Sorry, I worded that funnily. Previously Russians gave preferential mortgages to 90% of the applicants. Now they will restrict it to 25-30%.
>>65242663It really feels like Putin is trying to grab every single coin in Russia for himself to shove into the war. And that in turn feels like cutting off the wing of a plane in mid flight.
>>65242647>defence exports never actually profitableIndirectly, they are. They lower the per-unit cost by economy of scale, and by keeping production lines open.
>>65242677yeah but what else can he do, pull out of Ukraine?
>>65242681That would be Step 1.But that would not make Europe buy Russian gas and oil again anytime soon, and right now it looks like they already had to shut down various wells.Which is the death knell of an oil (or gas) field, because restarting the extraction is almost as difficult as drilling new wells.And selling oill and gas was waht kept them aflaot for almost half a century.Now, they have even lost the industry and modern tech base they had, because everyoen with know-how left in 2022, and what is still there is doomed due to lack of sales..The tl;dr is that Putin fucked Russia, big time. They'll be lucky to get out of this as an intact country.Because Xi sure would like Primorksy Krai back, and the Caucasus is not exactly too fond of Russians, either.
>>65242504>Makes you wonder why the rail bridge is not being used.Do you know that it is not?
>>65242726There are empty shelves in Simferopol and Sevastopol, and they've limited sales of vegetable oil, rice, flour and sugar to 3l/3kg per person.Gas stations are dry, and if there is fuel it's limited to 20l per customer, in alll of Crimea, Rostov and Krasnodar.And better don't ask about occupied Mariupol and Donbabwe, because that is totallly fucking fucked.So yeah, they are not using the rail bridge to bring in fuel and food in adequate amounts.
>>65242680>They lower the per-unit cost by economy of scale, and by keeping production lines openTruethat's what the cost accountants call "contribution"but exports do not render the whole enterprise net profitable, which is a claim often made by... all kinds of people, for and against
>>65242726They never fixed it properly after the Ukie struck the bridge with the huge VBIED
>>65242504> because just printing more rubles stopped workingPrinting roubles has not yet really began. Since the beginning of the war they tried really hard, pulled every trick and jumped through hoops to keep economy "honest"(cut spending on everything except military, raise taxes, invent bullshit fees and tariffs, then cut again, and increase bullshit fees, and so on) - to go "we spend what we earned, aint taking on debt, also keep inflation under control".Now they will take on the debt(confirmed); and probably will cut the rate if rumors are true and she's out one way or the other.
>>65242750There are certain countries, and many individual companies, that do turn a net profit on arms exports.Just not in the US. The US MIC in its current form because the US DoD basically shits money
>>65242858>certain countrieswhich?>many individual companiesYeah we're not talking about them of course
>>65242882>which?Switzerland and Finland come to mind.Germany, for many years pre-2022
>>65242212>>65242247>>65242271>defenestrating the one and only reason your war economy is still kicking instead of imploding harder than OceanGate subWhat's the grand plan here?
>>65242956Accelerating banan acquisition.
>>65242956Crashing ziggerland, with no survivors.
>>65242772That schem was already in many ways a moneyprinting setup.There is a huge part of jobs in Russia that are directly paid for by the state, or indirectlly through state-owned companies.I forgot the exact percentage, but it's WAY higher than in most other countries except maybe China.All these peoplle paid the increased taxes and fees etc., so the state was essentially paying itself money.And their whole 'bonus payments for signing up' scheme already fuelled inlfation by pumping shitloads of money into the system, even if that was 'real' money from the wealth fund.The floor has begun dropping, and I do not see any way to stop it. They're already seeing a wave of bankruptcies, these new rules about no more preferntial rates on loans will make the housing market collapse, and then cause a chain reaction that can make banks fail.
>>65242956The Czar needs a scapegoat/demands the printers go brrr(er), consequences be damned.

>>65243029>HET
>>65237084Based petty motherfucker.
>>65242772>>65242999nta, but some of the actions are money printing in all but name like forcing banks to give loans to defense companies which the companies in question have no way to pay back because the prices for their products are state regulatedIn the end those banks will need bailout money or the moment those defense companies go tits up after the war, they will pull the banks down with them
>>65242956Plan?
>>652429542014 was the lowest year in European defence spending as a % of GDP, so you've got your best shot there>https://time.com/4161613/us-arms-sales-exports-weapons/>he United States remains the world’s preeminent exporter of arms, with more than 50 percent of the global weaponry market controlled by the United States as of 2014. Arms sales by the U.S. jumped 35 percent, or nearly $10 billion, to $36.2 billion in 2014, according to the Congressional Research Service report, which analyzed the global arms market between 2007 and 2014. Trailing the U.S. in weapons receipts is Russia, with $10.2 billion in sales in 2014, followed by Sweden with $5.5 billion, France with $4.4 billion and China with $2.2 billion, reports The New York Times.I don't think you need to bother looking up the defence budgets of these countries to check if any countries actually received more money from the arms trade than they spent on defending themselves, yeah?2nd source: SIPRI is not always reliable and has some odd measures, nonetheless we must make do>https://www.sipri.org/databases/financial-value-global-arms-trade>by adding together the data that states have made available on the financial value of their arms exports, as well as estimates for those that only provide data on arms export licences, agreements or orders, it is possible to estimate the rough total value of the global arms trade. For example, the estimate of the financial value of the global arms trade for 2022 was at least $138 billion. However, the true figure is likely to be higher.by how much?>According to the SIPRI Arms Transfers Database, states that produce official data on the financial value of their arms exports account for over 90 per cent of the total volume of deliveries of major arms. It is therefore possible to attain a rough estimate of the financial value of the total global arms trade using the datanot muchSIPRI computed that Germany accounts for 5-6% of this $138 billion +-10%do the math

>>65243434Are you kidding? If they become sovereign, they'll immediately go to war with one of their other neighbors. It'll be hilarious.
>>65243450The Caucasus is kinda sad to see.The Russian and Georgian Black Sea coast is really pretty, beautiful places there, and it is full of beach resorts for a reason. But the northern caucasus is full of crazy muslims who will just start killing everyone when they get independence from Russia, just like Azerbaijan did. Armenia, too, though they are not Muslims.Georgia might be a little less insane, not sure.But when Russia fails, Dagestan and Chechnya willl explode again, 100%.Ideally, Rostov and Novorossiysk and Sochi should become a Ukrainian protectorate. The EU could reach down to Georgia.
>>65236649Hmmmm, no foolin?
>>65243519You're describing a daydream. I WANT a bunch of crazy muslims to go on a killing spree after russia collapses. That's the best part of this whole deal. They'll fuck everything up so harshly, the EU will be forced to take border security seriously for a change. Then I'll go backpacking along the meditteranean without being worried about an excess of migrants.>tfw modern ItalyIt sucks to look at.
>>65243351Not really relevant to the whole "self-inflicted headshot" discussion, but okay, you asked for it.
>>65243543Leaving aside the fact that this man chose to kill himself because the Tsar told him to and he worships him as a God, WHY WOULD HE DO IT BY HOLDING THE GRENADE TO HIS FUCKING GUTS, like holy shit, stick it in between your helmet and your skull or something, this isn't seppuku, the suffering isn't supposed to be the point (probably).

>>65243646>WHY WOULD HE DO IT BY HOLDING THE GRENADE TO HIS FUCKING GUTSWorks well if the grenade is placed INSIDE of the vest.
>>65243646>this isn't seppukuWell, there are videos of that too...Including one particularly brutal incident where the zigger apparently doesn't have a knife, so he improvises, adapts, and overcomes, by ripping out his own throat with the concertina wire he's tangled in.
>>65243679Mongols are always so chubby. Must be all the milkfat
>>65242594I will be laughing my ass off if they really decided to off or blacksite the one person who keeps their economy from imploding into shit.
>>65242593Most economists don't understand economics. Its a field that, due to its nature, can not be a hard science because its reliant on humans who are stupid and chaotic. You can apply various laws to make educated guesses but then get hit with a diamond hands incident where what should be happening is not happening due to the self sacrifice of millions and multiple unnamed and unknown government and criminal entitites with their fingers on the scales.Then occasionally, just occasionally you get a "it just works" situation.
>>65243646Guy might not have been entirely clear in the head there.
>>65242743>>65242760One of you is inferring, the other is assuming. Neither of you know, you just suppose.
>>65243646>the suffering isn't supposed to be the point (probably)Oh but it absolutely is. The more you suffer in this life, the less you'll suffer in the afterlife.
>>65243888The fact that she didn't get out when shit started going south is proof to me that she's just savant smart (good at one thing, in this case money magic, but bad at making life choices)You can sacrifice everything to the Boss and he'll just off you anyway the moment he feels like it. Loyalty is a one-way street to them. Tthat's why they only end up with morons and sycophants in the end and the whole thing implodes due to incompetence.
>>65244495She literally has nowhere else to go anon. She has no choice but to stay unless she secretly made a deal with foreign intelligence agencies
>>65236649So is this the absolute state of Ukraine War discourse? You just say something vaguely true about every major military on the planet, attach "Russia" to it, and pretend like you've made some astounding discovery that'll turn the tide of the war in exactly two weeks?
>>65243679Holy shit, I thought they hash banned the floppa toppa webm.
>>65244525Pro-tip from an oldfag:When the zigger-loving hindoo-heathen jannies get assblasted and try to ban these things, they can only tag one singular specific individual file at a time to get the auto-jannied and filtered.If someone were to re-encode the banned file in another format, cut a few milliseconds out, or otherwise change a single bit of the code, the resulting file would be liable to slip right past the automated filters.But if the suspiciously cow manure-scented jannies ask, you didn't hear that from me.

I don't care what your favorite armchair general academic institute is. They're the people that have been telling you this next counteroffensive will totally work this time. Remember the "Bridehead" that never manifested? They were sure that'd change the course of the war for all of three days before it was memory holed.
>>65244997True. Just like Germany in 1918 was totally winning, because they still occupied a lot of allied territory
>>65245002Cool so where's all the actual strategic problem Germany was facing in 1918? In your fantasy land? Russians fighting with just shovels again? They seem to have gotten real good at that since they've been doing it for years now according to your studious war experts.
>>65245020>Cool so where's all the actual strategic problemCurrently? I'd say a Lack of any armored Units, properly trained Infantry, artillery and a dwindling supply of fuel for many Parts of the Front>Imagine still being a zigger in the big 26
>>65245020NAYRT but the people were starving and the front line was paper thin and the Allies pushed through it, in part because the Germans had no more reserves of all kinds (physical, military, moral, and mental) to respond
>>65245468>dwindling supply of fuel for many Parts of the FrontUnironically, what happens when they run out of fuel. I saw a video earlier where a soldier was begging a gas station attendant for gas and she couldn't give it to him. The Russians would much rather fuel Moscow than the front line to prevent 1917: Electric Boogaloo and they're running out of gas there too. But the front already looks so fucked that I can't imagine what more losing gas would do to the 2 sad fucks that get sent on suicide infiltration missions with their pet mule
>>65245648>Unironically, what happens when they run out of fuelThey're already walking to the front from the 10-20km mark in some parts of the frontlines and some units are resorting to using horse and donkey drawn carts and carriages. However, a complete lack of fuel is unlikely to ever happen, but a 40-50% drop in fuel for the war would force the Russians to either pause their advances in order to stock up on fuel or pull back in some parts of the front in order to better supply the army

>>65245719>Likely sent to museums or whatever >or whatever So that's what we're calling it now?
>>65245719Please please please it'd be hilarious
>>65245730>Spare parts for these things are unobtainium>They were probably broken before being parked in the "storage" yard>Being left out in the rain and snow for like 60 years would have fucked them up even more>T-34s were infamous for poor reliability and frequent breakdowns even when they were new>Bringing them back to operational condition would take an obscene amount of work>Ammo is probably scarce >Extremely dubious if they're actually of any benefit at all in combat, or if they're just a liabilityTrying to re-activate these things and using them in combat would be an extremely retarded idea.Of course, the mere fact that an idea is blatantly retarded has never stopped the russians from going ahead with it anyway.So yeah, these T-34s are probably just being externally touched up for use as propaganda pieces in museums or monuments.But I wouldn't be surprised if the russians actually tried to use these pieces of shit things in combat.Although they may not be employed as tanks, possibly being used as frankenstein vehicles, artillery tractors, VBIEDs, etc.
>>65245730monuments, gate guardians, etc>>65245738it would though
>>65244997>Ukraine isn't winning fast enough! That means they must be losing, even though they are bleeding Russia white and taking back ground!Wild how that's literally the only cope you've left.
>>65242568>>65242271>>65242175She was poisoned, not dead yet but lying in a coma in a hospital bed near death guarded by FSB agents. The Russian civil war's already begun, but it's quiet and slow and all sides don't want it becoming general knowledge.t. Heard it from a Ukrainian OSINT bro who had it from a GUR agent
>>65245839>Ukrainian OSINT bro who had it from a GUR agentWow they are high of cope
>>65245839They announced her appearance at a press conference in about two days. If she's really in a coma they better have a decent body double or get her awake in time.
>>65245849>inb4 they try to pull "The weekend at Victor Sokolov's" trick again.
>>65236649Rodney is dead?
>>65245849She will make a video appearance, that's what AI is for.
>>65245849>>65245882It'll be a video appearance.
>>65245882Well, we know how this will end up in Russia
>>65245747>Although they may not be employed as tanks, possibly being used as frankenstein vehicles, artillery tractors, VBIEDs, etc.Oh yeah, they'd just be a chassis for a cope-hedgehog tracked shed abomination. I doubt they'd bother with the gun, beyond leaving it on as a threat.
>>65245908How based and trad of them
>>65242716They can just import Indian doctors and engineers. I heard they have plenty of those
>>65245839>t. Heard it from a Ukrainian OSINT bro who had it from a GUR agentThanks for the motivated rumour. It's of the highest credibility.
>>65245893>It'll be a video appearance>>65245882>She will make a video appearance, that's what AI is forDo you think she'll be the first human who is straight-up replaced by an AI trained on their papers and speeches, with a video model for "meetings"?
>>65245908idk if anyone else feels this but i see so much weird usage of tranny as a generic swear word during EU hours and it always comes off as so russia-coded to me
>>65246012I won't claim to be an OG here or anything, but they've always been called traps or troons here on 4chan, usually with a bit of mix of ironic acceptance, irritation, awkward boner confusion and mostly just not giving a single fuck about anyone's feelings. Sort of like how everyone gets called a fagOnly the new fags give a shit about itEveryone else just moved on, jerked off, had a cry or got over it eventually
>>65246027yea what i mean is that the use of the term i see comes off as like an unhinged, ESL way of swearing or saying something is shit>"this is a tranny thread" (the topic of the thread is vaguely political)>"you are a goytranny">"trannyshit"i think euros do propagate it too but russians seem to have it on their minds all the time
>>65246012>weird usage of tranny as a generic swear word during EU hours and it always comes off as so russia-coded to meZigger/miga/maga - it's certainly that pro-corruption/anti-democratic crowd that wants to russify the west.
>>65242594>>65245839she might actually be sick, she was under some real heavy workload the last few years, and the pressure/scapegoat fears aren't making stuff better>if she's smart she'll play the sick game, bribe how many doctors necessary and go onto a reconvalescence that absolutely require going to Switzerland or similar>No it cannot be done in Sochi, the doctor said soThere are already 3 dudes in talks to replace her, 2 bank ceo's and a dude from putins administration, two of them supposedly aren't so keen on taking the job which speaks positively about their smarts kekthe matter of replacing Elvira is serious enough that it was called the 2027 problem because putin likes to pretend that the central bank is independent so he offload some blame on it
>>65243651Giving a whole new meaning to the phrase "saving face".
>>65245719T-34 have been stored for their Victory Day parade. They were bought from Laos/Cambodia etc and are just rolled out for May 9th. Or they were, until this year. There is no way a T-34 is going to go to the front, ignoring the fact you could probably penetrate them with an M2 at combat ranges these days, who is going to crew them? The T-34 drivers are probably protected simply because they know how to drive it.Even if Russia used tanks like they have for the last 4 years (makeshift fire support vehicles), how many F-534 or OF-350 or BP-353A do they have left?
>>65246027>>65246045Tranny predates troon, that was a version that gained momentum on the Farms. Traps or femboys is a really old version that predates transgenderism entering the cultural consciousness, and even today it still holds to a connotation more like "crossdressing effeminate faggot" than "thinks it's a girl". They also tend to be a lot better at looking the part.>>65246060>pro-corruptionCommon misconception. It's that White people don't fall into corruption of their own accord because uhh THEY JUST DON'T OKAY.
>>65246012Russia has a shitload of faggots, troons and cucks (as in the actual sex kink), which is hardly surprising to anyone. They'll even brag about it when they feel like they can, like they're the enlightened libertines above muh ossified western puritanism... only to insult you using the same words a minute later.
>>65242284She is female. Pozzian "men" have no interest in her
>>65243519Armenia and georgia are too far away to offer anything effective to them. Best they get is coming something up with turkey
>>65246342Chechens though....
>>65246105>how many F-534 or OF-350 or BP-353A do they have left
>>65242555Stfu, Conan.
>>65245839>lying in a coma>laying down>comaFree use rape meat.
>>65242663Update:20% lol
>>65243423
>>65246505>two weeksThat's a meme making fun of you ziggers, though. As always, every accusation from you "people" is an admission of your own shortcomings.>wunderwaffeYou mean like Kalibr, Iskander, Oreshnik, FABs, Armata, Terminators, Shaheds etc.? You're yet again projecting too obviously, nekulturniy pidor.
>>65246505>So basically every problem Ukraine also has?Does it? Ukraine seems to have a healthier and more effective AFV park than Russia nowadays. And they sure as shit have a hell of a lot more properly trained infantry - hence why they're not the ones forced to feed meatwaves into the grinder. They've also had artillery superiority for a while now, and no issues with fuel supply whatsoever.
>>65246539>Total lack of self awareness.Pidorovich, trying to project harder is not how you get rid of people pointing out your projections.>How would you know how healthy Ukraine is?Easily so. All it requires is paying attenttion and not being wilfully blind. Well, that's easy for civilized people anyway. Steppenigger barbarians like (You) are genetically incapable of figuring it out. That's your problem, though, not mine.
>>65246539Two weeks!
>>65246570
>>65246570>With your magic confirmation bias and hugbox Discord channel I'm sure.Projecting harder yet again, I see. Man, you truly are a one-trick pony.>Remember when Byraktars were going to win the war?No, I don't think anyone else is "remembering" your retarded zigger propaganda strawman. (Wow, a new trick! Congratulations! Too bad it's a shit one because unlike you uncultured barbarians, civilized people have memory reaching back multiple years.) Nice worthless pic without even a link btw.What we do remember, though, is when those Bayraktars utterly clowned on your invasion, pidorovich. And all the salt and cope you've been spouting about it ever since.
>>65246590>Projection, projection, projectionYou're boring, steppenigger.>I miss what /k/ was in the mid-2000s.Pidor, you haven't been here a single time before Feb 2022, and it's glaringly obvious. Who are you even trying to lie to here? There's no vranyo covering your lies here, barbarian.
>>65246570>that picisn't that just few days before the northern front collapsed?Seems like the article was right
>>65243543YES! IVE been looking for this one for ages.thanks anonstupid fucking zigger. i hope he sufferd for hours
>>65243543
>>65246613>What we do remember, though, is when those Bayraktars utterly ruined the invasion and humiliated the entire Russian nation forever.FTFY. But do keep seething about it some more, it's funnier than your retarded projections.>muh wunderwaffeThat's still you projecting russian behaviour in this war upon those making fun of you. We'bve gone over this in this very thread already, pidorovich. Is your subhuman goldfish memory truly THIS bad?>When Ukraine is forced to hand over its entire eastern quarterYou mean the one they are steadily retaking nowadays, while continuing to slaughter you subhumans in lopsided ratios? All while you can do nothing but lie, cope, seethe and project to pass the time until it's your turn to get mobilised into a ditch in the Donbass to die in, unmourned and unacknowledged by anyone?>I used to tripfag here in 2006-2008. Sure you did. Yet you somehow consistently keep proving that you know literally less than nothing about /k/ before Feb 2022. Tourist.>Then again I already knew that due to the context of the discussion.And we're back to projection again. Boring.>>65246617It took Ukriane all of like a week or two to roll back the whole northern fornt, though. Again, pidorovich: We do not have that predilection towards goldfish memory your "race" has.
>>65246617>If it collapses why did it take six months for Ukraine to reclaim the territory?Six months? Can i see them?Forget months, it wasn't even six weeks since russians retreated early aprilWhy would you even use such a dumb, easily disprovable lie?Just stick with "it was just a feint" kek
>>65246655>Must. Project. Harder!Sad.>>65246665>And this is how to project EVEN BEYOOOOOOOOND!>also doublepostingPathetic.
>>65246590Get in the punishment barrel, you suck at Puccia shilling
>>65236649is he talking about this guy?
>>65236649Responsible for conscription? It is a tired topic raised every year of enacting mass conscription rather than the contracting. But, how would they even arm and move those conscripts, be it 300 000 or a million, to the battlefield now or a near future. At present it can surely only be the dinner bell ringing for drone pilots and maybe even artillery units if units move in greater than single digits. >>65246815No, it's of their national banker woman. Who has laid the path for the russian federation's national economy practically since it stopped being the soviet union. For the curious and as somewhere here in the thread, she attempted to resign when the "special operation" began but she was deemed critical by Putin and assigned extra fsb bodyguards for her safety, especially from windows and other national borders.
>>65246617>If it collapsedthe fuck do you mean if
>Every Russian accusation is a confessionNo exceptions, it seems.
>>65246865so she resigned out of a window?
>>65246613>I used to tripfag here in 2006-2008.Try to avoid using terms Glavset had to manufacture after February 2022 if you want people to believe this, you retarded poojeet nigger.
>>65246901>tripfagging>manufactured after 2022I sincerely hope I am misinterpreting what you are saying.
>>65242552Feminist women love Prigozhin, Shoigu and Gerasimov, I'm sick of them
>>65246900>The strategic retardation of expecting a fifth column coup in Kiev*Aside from the strategic retardation
>>65246865>But, how would they even arm and move those conscripts, be it 300 000 or a million, to the battlefield now or a near future.Bro it's Russia they'd crack open the millions of crates of factory pristine Mosins coated in century-old cosmoline if they really had to.
>>65246896More of she's been missing, and officially sick, for several weeks now. A, for russia, humorous situation was recently "journalists" asked the central bank if she's sick or resigned, and they declined to reply suggesting the state reply is still taking form. You may recall there was the economic meeting in st. Petersburg early this month, that event has been her showcase since its inception, and had its date changed at least once to conform to her schedule in, 2014? Can't say exact year. This year was the first time she did not attend in over 20 years, setting off the question of when she was last seen or had shown signs of life. Important announcements to her underlings was recently hosted Putin instead of her, so she's likely to remained disappeared until her views on russia's economic prospects are aligned to Putin's or her successor is found.
>>65246865>>65246918Even our favorite mooobilizer Girkin said it's at least a year too late now
>>65243519You'll have returning seccessionist Chechens returnin from fighting for Ukraine and Kadyrovites back from fighting for Russia and whether Kadyrov stays in Russia or secedes will probably come down to whether or not he gets offered a good enough deal by whatever comes after Putin.
>>65246901False flag
>>65246961I refuse to listen to anything FSB glowies say.
Why does /k/ inform me more about Ruzzia than the news? Like I'm not surprised, it's just weird that it keeps happeneing
>>65246987News media only informs you of things when it's profitable or when their corporate holding company overlords have an agenda to push. Nine times out of ten war coverage is so heavily propagandized you can't trust it anyway.
>>65237314:(
>>65246859This may shock you, pidorovich, but nobody needs to "call" anyone else to shit on you. Civilized people in general will do it upon spotting your ilk from the so-called "Russia".>>65246900>We both know ziggers left a retarded amount of landmines behind when they pulled back No? They laid down retarded amounts of landmines out in the east after they lost the north in the great rout of summer 2022 and it set in that their invasion had failed and they were in for a long war.>>65246918This presupposes the existence of those crates, and that they haven't been sold off for a couple dachas long ago.
>>65247171>Don't exist.Not in the so-called "Russia", no. Over hereinb the civilized world, they sure do. It's why the West has always been and will always be superior to your thirdie shithole. Much as (You) hate that fact.>Yes Anon, in fact Ukraine bitched about how the Russians laid mines fucking everywhere from farmfields to the insides of community buildings. Out in the east. After you subhuman got routed in utter panic form the North, at such speed your fellow subhumans left half their heavy equipment behind to be captured intact.
>>65246987Now, about russian breaking news. They have arrested this guyhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ilya_Traberand this toohttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gennady_Petrovtoday.Old, really old, putin's friends and close "business" associates, and boom.> Fontanka has learned that the operational activities on June 17 were conducted by officers from the Central Office of the FSB.> Ilya Traber is a prominent St. Petersburg entrepreneur who began his career in the late 1980s. Today, his business can be characterized as a large infrastructure and port group, the core of which consists of marine terminals, logistics, land assets in the Baltic, port service companies, and related projects in the oil, gas, and transport sectors. A key project of recent years has been the Primorsky Port Complex, which is slated to become one of the largest new port complexes in Russia.This is huge, unclear how and why yet, but huge.
>>65246570>Remember when Byraktars were going to win the war>Remember ByraktarsKek, I do now. Thanks anon.
>>65246987Because the front has barely moved in years. News media doesn't have much to say about it because people aren't really interested in hearing that one side or the other recaptured Cowtownovka, which had a pre-war population of 9,000 but is now only of value for its handful of uncollapsed cellars.
>>65246859What the fuck are you talking about?Dude, you're the one claiming russians took six months to leave the northHow did you even come to that idea?
>>65247278I think you mean a NLAW not a M72.
>>65246570>Remember when Byraktars were going to win the war?They did, the broke the back of Russia's armored thrusts and devastated their logistics potential. The war was lost in April 2022 when Russia retreated from the north. Everything since this is Putin's autism getting Russians pointlessly slaughtered.
>>65247320My sides, if demining is your definition of retaking territory than France still didn't reclaim all territories from Krauts in world war I
>>65247278There was one video like that. There were far more of Russian tanks popping their turrets from correctly used NLAWs, Javelins and stugnas. Btw, remember Ukrainians popping a KA-52 that was hovering with a stugna? Twice? Pepperidge farm remembers.
damn that zigger was seething hard lmao, always nice to see a fresh melty.
>>65246987random fatass rusroach apparatchiks getting raped & subsequently murdered by their own is a daily occurence in that cursed part of the world, it is neither newsworthy nor interesting to the general public
>>65247378Yes, anon, that's the way wars happen. They reach a point where one side can no longer accomplish it's goals and that's usually long before a negotiated agreement or collapse. Germany was still occupying French and Belgian land right up until they signed the armistice in 1918. The war was lost when they failed to take Paris in 1914 and everything past that was just German autism getting people pointlessly killed. Everyone knew it, that's why the armistice terms were deliberately harsh. Just like they will be for Russia
>>65247245>Ilya Traber>Gennady PetrovDamn that is some really old guard, mobsters from Sobchak's times in Saint Petersburg, back when putin was just an aspiring desk jockey brokering deals between the admin and the gangs Maybe that was their downfall, they were untouchable for too long and thought they could criticize stuff others can't
>>65247363>damn that zigger was seething hard lmao, always nice to see a fresh melty.makes me wonder why, people falling out of windows is nothing out of the ordinary in russia in 2022+4 Maybe there's really something up with Elviras disappearance or putin began a straight up purge of his old pals
>>65245724context?
>>65246115>Tranny predates troonThat was a casual and neutral nickname for transvestites because the full word is a mouthful. It's been used in gay circles for decades.
>>65243651The burying part is optional
>>65247479How much does your family have to hate you to just leave your corpse at the dump?
>>65243423They aren't? The Ukies are burning through many Boris Johnson clones, can they afford to be so wasteful?
>>65247171>>Civilized people>Don't exist. Programmed people do though.We prefer the term "educated".Programming is about disempowering people, education empowers them.To understand this though, you'd have to have respect for people as ends in themselves and not merely means to an end.
>>65247245>Old, really old, putin's friends and close "business" associates, and boom.https://youtu.be/mikW5pIs6KgSeems like Putin is cashing out some old accounts.
>>65247455>context?You're like a child that walks in halfway through a movie and doesn't understand what's happening
>>65247593Bold of you to assume that i've seen your unc ahh "movie"
>>65247477I blew a tranny once. What a shitbox that car was.
>>65246918>millions of crates of factory pristine Mosins coated in century-old cosmolineI fucking knew this was deliberate market fuckery!
>>65247612hehehehe
>>65247359>Btw, remember Ukrainians popping a KA-52 that was hovering with a stugna? Twice?Their fault for identifying as flying tanks.
>>65247602Nta but picrel
>>65247423So we're back to feintposting and the Russian Army sacrificing thousands and thousands of its best men to achieve absolutely nothing again?>Ah yes because that turned out so well in retrospect.Point. So the terms will be harsher yet. There won't be a "Russian Federation" anymore by the time it is all said and done, only warlord states busy murdering each other over the scraps and a new chinese province or two.
>>65247481brave to assume they don't live there as well!
>>65246930i like the idea that you can be a generational genius that kept a country running for 20 years and you still get unceremoniously disappeared and likely executed in some macabre way by the ruling mob of vindictive brutes because you could not lay another golden egg for them. what a nightmare of a country to live in. i wish CIA or something had spirited her away
>>65247481>familyWell anon, you seeIf the casualty never reaches teh familydeath was wrongly reportedis now missing in actionback pay goes into account of commanding officer)))))
>>65248726There's a reason russian fairytales are full of crippling misery, unfair deaths and crushing failures
>>65245839>General Knowledge.Never heard of him
>>65245991If they do that they'll use AI to plaster her face onto an actress
>>65242594Isn't the finance minister a Putin family member?She's one of the few that won't get windowed.
>>65248923>family member?>won't get windowed.
>>65242716>But that would not make Europe buy Russian gas and oil again anytime soonNot true at all, Europe is clambering for cheap energy right now. They might not reach their peak again, but Russia will stop hemouraging so badly if they can start selling back to their best customers.If Russia pulled out of Ukraine and spent 6 months fixing gas infrastructure they could export a shit ton to Europe pretty much instantly even with the slower EU beurocracy that stuff gets passed quickly.
>>65248932I mean she was appointed on Putins orders, she is a yeswoman, she will just be asked to leave.So no. She won't be.
I remember how there were new, almost daily clips of russian soldiers acking themselves a while ago, is that still a thing?
>>65249036Frankly I don't think they're living long enough to get there. It's not months in a trench anymore, it's "here's your grid coordinates, report when you're there. Oops, did I forget to mention that you have to move through 50 kliks of drone overwatch and past a dozen Ukrainian foxholes to get there?"
>>65249036>is that still a thing?frontline suicides caught on video? Yes>>65248949Putin just had two of his 90s era cronies arrested for corruption. Everything that they had was stripped from them
>>65248932>>65248949>I mean she was appointed on Putins orders, she is a yeswoman, she will just be asked to leave.Nah, Siluanov, the finance minister is a yes-man, Elvira is the head of the central bank and the general consensus is that she has the position because she's legit competentSure putin might have appointed her, but she isn't the typical "rags to riches through putin's graces" story since she had a pretty solid career even before his timeShe's a very convenient scapegoat, since you cannot criticize the war, she gets the blame for russias economic woes, and she knew this right away, her first decision after the invasion was trying to resign
Bump because interesting topicWhen are Russia's new interest rates announced exactly?
>>65249036Due to the increase in the amount of ukie drones and widespread adoption of small group offensives by rustrannies, nah. Mainly because katsaps usually get picked off by drones before they can off themselves.
