>don't touch that anomaly, stalker
The shit eating grin into eating shit is always satisfying
>>65569065Who's this guy and what's he doing? Trying to defuse uxo?
>almost 2 years ago alreadyfug>>65569102Russian sapper trying to defuse a PTM-3, IIRC.
>>65569073Complacency and arrogance in the face of proper safety procedures, exhibit #2345678
>>65569065jesus
>>65569065I knew this guy was a tard when he used his leg as a cutting table. What was even his fucking plan here?
>>65569065>That smileHe knew exactly what he was doing.
>>65569073Its the death-drive of the Russ, knowing he is about to escape being a Russ>except I think he survived, blinded missing some bits and eternal eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee to keep him company
>>65569188knife seems duller than a butter knife
>>65569188Leg as a cutting bench, crimping the detonator with his teeth and touching the mine.Looks like the ASVAB score for EOD is 2 in Russia.
>>65569198>I know a way out comrads : )
>>65569213Ivan got his gun
>>65569198>>65569227
>>65569228nice
>>65569213Bro I'd rather be dead than blind and all my shit fucked
>>65569114Why did he go through the trouble of making a counter charge, just to start poking and prodding it?
>>65569312Looks like he had the bright idea of putting the counter chrage under the mine instead of just sitting it on the ground next to it or even better just shooting it.
>>65569065Doesn't look like the charge he was disarming detonated, but something else did a few feet to his right closer to the camera guy. Maybe a drone dropped a charge from above? Maybe that's why the camera guy started booking it?
>>65569065>it started with that smile... that damned smile
>>65569065>cutting on your thigh like that man was determined to die
>>65569635It looks like a PTM-3, they go off just looking at them funny and get triggered by changes in the magnetic field or vibrationsThey also just destroy themselves in less than 24h usually... course that can vary, or just not. Part of the fun of landmines
>>65569102>Trying to defuse uxo?Well its technically defused now
>>65569779Right, but the detonation seemed to take place like 6 feet away from where we see it on the vid.
>>65569065Why not just walk away and shoot the mine?
>>65569796Its close enough for a pound of high-ex, which is all they really are. No frag sleeve or shaping involved, just enough to blow the wheel off a light vehicle and annoy a tracked APC or IFV... or a dickhead with no sense of self preservation!Something like it should leave a good 2m/6ft across shallow crater so I think its probably about right for what it is
>>65569959kek
>>65569959
>>65569225>It's fine, I've done this a hundred times befo-
>>65569959hory sheet
>>65569959keeek
okay i've seen this like 10 times already, and it's as funny as the previous time, but what was he actually attempting to do? was he cutting detcord? for what purpose? what's the procedure supposed to be?
>>65570112Probably trying to plant a charge next to the mine to dispose of it. It's a valid way to do that, but this one should be approached with extreme caution, which he clearly lacked.If I'm reading the right documentation and that's a PTM-3, the mine has both magnetic and position fuses that are designed to set it off if a vehicle passes over it or otherwise disturbs the mine.The magnetic fuse is unpredictable, and might trigger from the metal in your equipment if you're careless enough. The position fuse is effectively an anti-handling device, and the mine should definitely not be touched at all once it's armed. Guess that's the part where he fucked up, trying to get his little charge just a bit closer to the mine.
Why didn't he just get a big long stick
>>65570135thanks anon, appreciate it
>>65570137Not everyone has the necessary training for the long stick
>>65570135why don't they do these things from a distance?
Even something like a long pole or a fishing rod would likely come in handy.But would they face sanctions if they didn't play the part of tough guys clearing landmines by hand?
>>65570148With mines like that, you definitely should. Either somehow move your charge near it from as far away as possible, or better yet, fire at it from an armored vehicle or other cover. As he demonstrated in the video, the mine's quite sensitive and might not take much abuse to trigger, so even an imperfectly placed charge would have worked fine.But guess he really wanted to show his UXO expert skills. He did remove said UXO, at least.
>>65570135I cant help ask myself, if they're that sensitive to disturbance, how close do you need the charge to be?
What a stupid way to lose 2 hands, 1 leg, your eyes, your hearing, and have permanent brain damage when you could just fly a drone into it.
>>65569065This just reinforces the conclusion that Russia is using the meat grinder tactic intentionally. They obviously are not training or equipping these guys in any meaningful way. It's still absolutely baffling to watch them use these human waves. Even assuming they are getting rid of excess or problematic population, do they really believe that having millions of war casualties won't have a long term negative effect? How the hell do they plan on taking on NATO after they've already lost so much manpower? It's madness
>>65570184>fly a drone into itYou could huck a rock at it from distance and be better off than what he did.
If the eye injury was caused by pressure, would wearing a protective visor be pointless?
>>65570160>Either somehow move your charge near it from as far away as possibleA methodological suggestion from someone with exactly zero explosives knowledge:>safely prepare charge>place charge on ground>get long stick>gently prod charge along the ground with stick until it is next to the mine>detonate charge
>>65569114>Russian sapper trying to defuse a PTM-3, IIRC.It doesn't make sense though. He fashioned his own explosive with a fuse.It's an unpaved road in the middle of fuck nowhere. He could defuse it by throwing a grenade or firing his gun at it.There must be something else to it.
>>65570242He could have set his own charge 5 feet away and it would have been fine.
>>65569644For me it was him biting the detonator.
>>65570247Or just put down right next to it. This is why the diffusal line makes no sense to me.
>>65570170people who ask clever questions like that end up in the rape pit
>>65570199>The madness is runnin' wild!
>>65570252which is why it went boom that quickly.
>detonator
>>65569065>does all that work to set a counter charge>touches the mine anyways while wearing zero equipmentGod bless the overconfident.
>>65569213i wonder what he's upto now
>>65570148PTM-3's should be disposed by shooting them from a distance. Thats the only real safe way of doing it, and the way any real sapper is trained to do it. Overconfidence, and/or lack of training is why this sapper didn't do so.>>65569976The PTM-3s steel case is designed with notches on every side, and even on the end. Those notches produce a shaped charge effect when the mine detonates, which kinda makes a pain in the ass to actually dispose of. That effect is probably why that guys leg was cut off so cleanly at the thigh.
>>65570600Playing CS2 and teamkilling his teammates if one ends up a Ukie.
>>65569976>Its close enough for a pound of high-ex,According to google, there is 1.8 kilogram of HE in a PTM-3. That guy is dead. He could have ignited the fuze and just thrown the block of HE next to the mine from 5+ meters away.
>>65569198Ahhh energy
>>65570135So he should’ve tossed a bolt at it like any proper anomaly? Absolute bandit behavior
>>65570145W-why?
>>65570199How much training is necessary to know not to do that? Most human beings would’ve intuited about 100 better ways to approach that explodey box than this fucking mental case.
>>65571121>Most human beings would’ve intuited about 100 better ways to approach that explodey box than this fucking mental case.Yeah and they all start with "let’s just fuck off"
>>65571090>That guy is deadWe have the after-pic .>>65569213He isn't exactly fine but since he was a sapper, you know he was actually what passed for a professional soldier in Russia and his unit applied immediate first aid and CASEVACed him.He almost certainly lived, though whether he'd want to is another story.
>>65570731>Playing CS2 and teamkilling his teammates if one ends up a UkieHe lost both hands, a foot and his eyes. I think CS2 would be quite challenging for him.>>65571121>How much training is necessary to know not to do that?If you had no training, you'd probably fuck off and shoot it from a distance.If you had good training, you'd probably fuck off and shoot it from a distance.But if you had just enough training to know what a counter charge is and how to set one and were issued with the gear for it, you might jump at the chance to use your training.
>>65570266Them ziggers are not the sharpest tools in the shed, anon…
>>65571145That is a very ruined hand his shin on that side is also injured.
>>65571145Aaw, poor guy lost his sandal and everything
>>65569065I am endlessly confused at this gross incompetence in the face of clear danger
>>65569170When I was in bomb school there was an Air Force EOD guy who said they lose more guys in training than in the field.
>>65571496at any given time a slav is either intoxicated or sobbing quietly in a corner, sometimes both

>>65571888blocking detachments, possibly, or they were drunk. maybe just stupid.
>>65571116He thought it was a big bug.
>>65570234Unless your stick is an entire tree, it isn't long enough to be safe. Just shoot it.
>>65570145while we're here here's another darwin award winner
>>65571116The real answer is that the guy is was stoned out of his mind at the time. That's how a drug addict who is high acts.
>>65571931Did he try to throw a grenade at the drone?
>>65571888Trips of troofBut don't forget the first rule of warfare>have fun>>65571931Ivan is not becoming the flack gun
>>65571888>Why? Why not run for cover in the opposite direction from the explosions?DESU, if I was a russian, I would probably kill myself too.Some part of me understands why they apathetically stroll right into minefields and fuck around with downed drones.
>>65571121You can't teach common sense. A person develops it or they don't. And insufficient training can give someone a false sense of confidence that will get them into trouble. That doesn't even begin to include the lack of proper equipment or protocols to be followed. You would never see a properly trained combat engineer approach a mine like that. These guys aren't real soldiers. They're cannon fodder.
>>65571150>But if you had just enough training to know what a counter charge is and how to set one and were issued with the gear for it, you might jump at the chance to use your training.A problem with midwits in many fields.

>>65570170>>65570135magnets are a bitch because of cube squere law or whatever muts call it . ifyou double the distance, the field strength drops to 1/8\of its original value 2^3 = 8 If you triple the distance it drops to 3^3 = 27. resves is true aswell if you move in from 3m to 1m your metal from you rifle just became a HUGE. if you ever played with magnets (how do the work ???) you know how quickly this effect matters.

>>65570148From what I remember SOP for both sides is to actually just shoot the things at a far distance if you encounter them rather than do any EOD work on it.
>>65572494>You can't teach common sense.You literally can, reality can teach it so a teacher can too.It does require a certain desire to do so though, so it's not possible for everyone.>insufficient training can give someone a false sense of confidence that will get them into troubleThe word insufficient should be the clue for how you can in fact teach common sense.>You would never see a properly trained combat engineer approach a mine like thatSo you CAN teach it.>These guys aren't real soldiersCannon fodder aren't given and trained in EOD equipment.This guy genuinely IS a real soldier. A real EOD even.Just not a very good one.>>65572515>A problem with midwits in many fields.AKA Dunning-Kruger in action.
>>65573690That's not at all what the square-cube law is about. Also, what equation exactly is giving you a "diminishes with the cube of the distance" here? Nature tends to be rather fond of using the square for such things rather than the cube, and trying to look up how magnetism exactly will work on wikipedia mostly suggests that it's usually rather more complicated than that... (Though at least for two magnets a fair distance apart the attraction will diminish with the square of the distance.)

>>65573549>unload economically unproductive peopleWell mostly by taking economically productive people, turning them into unproductive people and THEN getting rid of them.Like wiping your ass with both sides of the toilet paper, it may be a bit repulsive, but it's undeniably efficient.
>>65569213that'll buff out
>>65571145Is the cat okay?
>>65572155Why would you pull it in deeper?? Why not push it out or momentarily step out of cover and shoot it if it’s lodged too tightly. Bewildering stuff
>>65571145
>>65576789>Why would you pull it in deeper?Maybe he thought he was going to disarm it?In theory, it's not that difficult, just pull any wires you see and it should be safe.
>>65573764butterfingers aside, I wonder what the play is here once you've caught it. You're pretty fucked either way, a wrong move and it can detonate. Don't think you can throw it far enough to not get hit, either. Perhaps if you can find a ditch or something.
>>65577479>I wonder what the play is here once you've caught itPull all the wires. Nobody bothers putting tamper circuits on a suicide drone.All you really need to do is pull the wires at the battery/capacitor and it's safe, it can't do shit without power.
>>65577502for the drone, sure, but I'm not sure how those crumble/whisker fuzes work. Especially those that are adapted to fit existing munitions.
>>65577479>>65577516Just unplug the battery, the same lipo powers both the drone and the firing circuit.If it has an mechanical / piezo fuse like a PG-7V you can just put if down carefully after unplugging the battery.
>>65569213Why does it look like the dude kneeling next to him is anticipating eating him?
>>65577643>If it has an mechanical / piezo fuse like a PG-7VThose aren't present for the whisker fuzes I don't think. I suppose they could be left on and the whiskers wired into the same circuit but since you have to install those fuzes manually intro an RPG before firing, I doubt they're installed in the first place.Either way, the solution is the same except that you shouldn't punt it away after pulling the wires.>>65577516>but I'm not sure how those crumble/whisker fuzes workThat was all you needed to say. If you don't have information then you don't have an opinion worth speaking to other people.
>>65577655>I'm starving. We ain't had nothing but maggoty bread for three stinking days!
>>65569959Bravo anon
>>65575963We even put one in a pig paw and yeah it leaves a nasty „mark“…

>>65569635
>>65576317>mfw
>>65570148You're supposed to. Controlled demolition is what 90% of .50 calibre anti-material rifles actually get used for after all. USAF EOD owns more M82s than any marksman or SOF unit does.
>>65577479Rip the rotors off it with your hands and then VERY GENTLY set it down.
>>65579646Ah yea, from that shot it looks like I'm definitely wrong on my assessment. However, my assessment that Slavs are dumb as fuck still holds true. Wish they'd end that stupid fucking war, regardless.
>>65579805This. Its painful watching the combination of extreme stupidity and extreme violence. In a perfect world, they would submit to the rule of a benevolent Ango-Franco-Greman nobility.
>>65576317So what does this do?
>>65583224it was an ied disguised as a mysterious doorbell in the forest, obviously vatniks rang it.
>>65572155
>>65583224IED randomly placed in the middle of a forest. The interview where the guy from the unit who planted the thing was talking about various booby traps that they had come up with and he happened to bring up the doorbell IED. He went on a tyrade about how retarded the Russians were for pressing it despite it being plainly obvious that it was a booby trap. And at the end of his rant he went on to say that he would have pressed the doorbell too
>>65576789>Why would you pull it in deeper?Supposedly the Russians have/had a bounty on Ukrainian fpv drones that they bring back. So the guy in the tunnel most likely thought that it wouldn't go off since it got tangled up at the entrance.
>>65578635that one is from when it happened
>>65583311Honestly, it says something about the human condition that about 50% of the anons in the thread about that booby trap responded with "why the fuck would you ever press that, it is obviously a trap", and the other 50% responded with "I would have totally pressed that too".
>>65583311I mean I could definitely see why people would press the button since if you're just patrolling and there isn't an immediate threat to make you alert and weary, you're going to be bored and human nature is going to get the better of a lot of people.Respect that he admitted he would have pressed it too.
>>65579653>DON'T TOUCH IT!>IT'S THE MOBIK ERASER BUTTON YOU FOOL!
>>65583305this pic is amazing if you know the joke
>>65583305
>>65583224
>>65571627That makes sense, since training gives the illusion of safety and you've got a bunch of people who know nothing playing around with HE and IED's. It'd be more surprising if things didn't go horribly wrong.
>>65583580Best part of the vid>that thousand yard stare
>>65583473I remember the surprise when it was located a few months later. I wonder where it is now? I haven't seen it geolocated yet.
>>65583656That's such a perfect ziggermobile.Almost makes me want to mod it into a game, and just drive around or something.
>>65583580if this is a real story it is the funniest thing everoften you can suspend disbelief and say "dumber things have happened" but in this case you really cant. it is quite possibly the dumbest thign that has ever taken place.
>>65583744We've seen a lot of dumb shit over the last 5 years, like to the extent that the old bell curve of 2.5% of Russians being sub-70IQ might be not be accurate because a lot of them are really fucking dumb

>>65585681I'm glad I'm not the only one who thinks the same.
>>65585681Its the kind of place even the inhabitants wear the hat which is currently the state religion. There's 8000 mosques across Russia and the Orthodoxy there is basically some kind of deviancy of the Greek church it split off from in the 17th century, regardless of what they say. Anyone brought up under the soviet system is usually at best agnostic about the whole thing and anyone saying they're christian more than likely hasn't seen the inside of a church in many, many years.>you can be a christian without going to church!Yeah, you can also call yourself a 'citizen' of a country without going to vote or encouraging free and fair elections, but we both know how that turns out. Like I don't call myself a christian because my attendance is practically nil despite being raised all through my childhood as a baptist, just that my confidence in humanity is not that great.But Putin will put on any hat you ask him, he's got the wizard hats of orthodoxy, he's got the little round box shaped ones of muslim caucuses and he's mostly jewish so he's got one of them as wellAnd that sort of seems to be pretty standard for most Russians, what they are and who's asking get the answer

>>65585762I wish I saved it, but someone noted that the Yandex scraper bots could be used to train the bots that actually disseminate the propaganda that the russians spread to the west with the information they gather, which will still affect what Russian bots can do.There's also Zelenskyy directly saying their attacks reduced russian bot activity. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hmRHe6gW-ocAnother thing that's been glossed over is the reason why Ukraine started targeting Russian data centers. It was because there was originally an agreement between Ukraine and Russia to not target each other's data centers, but like everything else, the Russian's broke their word and started attacking Ukrainian data centers in late September, so what we saw with Yandex was just the Ukrainian rightfully retaliating.Meaning the fact that the Ukrainians are helping to stymie Russian interference in the US midterms appears to be coincidence. But the actions of trump and musk against Ukraine in the immediate aftermath really shows how much those two were counting on the russians to help them and are using the few cards they have left to try and stop the Ukrainians from doing more.

>>65585675That sounds fucking evil to do. Like ok you’re annoyed with Zelensky but stop telling Ukraine when missiles are arriving to kill civilians is vile
>>65586302Limp Bizkit? What fucking year is this?
>>65586302>>65586376Fred Durst is a dork but his dorky music is a guilty pleasure of mine.
>>65585675First he cut off Starlink for the Russians and now the Ukrainians, truly the fat South African is a man of balance.
>>65586376The current year.
>>65586060At this rate might as well go for a regular one.
>>65586443Yooo we're in 2006?
>>65586218>tfw the vid is almost 12 years old at this point
>>65586138So?
>>65586386musk realized how badly it looks for him so he's currently blaming trump by saying he was ordered by him to cut off Starlink to the Ukrainians.But some positive news, Ukraine is claiming intel sharing has been restored. We will see if this is true when russia stages their next terror attack on Ukrainian civilians and if the Ukrainains get early warning like they're supposed too.
how are there so many videos kf vatniks running around without any weapons of any kind. It’s evident they make the best propoganda because they can’t shoot back but jesus do they just lose their weapon in the first week or what
>>65587086To my knowledge, they aren't even given weapons unless they are going to directly engage the enemy because Russian commanders are worried the grunts will use their guns on them.
>>65569213Did his family get cheetos at least?
>>65585681>>65585836A Nigerian wouldn’t know how it works;,he might poke at it for a moment, but otherwise leave it alone. A Russian or an Arab by contrast, understands that it is an explosive, yet tries to fix it anyway, simply because he is conditioned to take action, even when doing so is completely pointless.
>>65585820Russia is the worlds dictator parachute country. Just bring enough money with you and they'll drop you into either Moscow, Kaliningrad (So you can travel to Europe and Dubai easy) or a mansion in the south in your old age.They will hide your cash and your crypto for you too
>>65586163Update from Cloudflare on observable traffic from Yandex https://blog.cloudflare.com/yandex-outage/
>>65587291So it did work, the Russians just set the bots up in other places afterwards.
>>65587291Max kek.All that money for Krasnov from Trump and Musk - white washed via iranian oil relabeled as russian oil - to create bots to influence the midterms gone up in smoke, like mobiks in 'kraine..
>>65587356Did you even read the article? The fucking bot networks just migrated to different network providers.
>>65587291They should keep on striking them.
>>65569102Well. BIP but yeah.
>>65570148Because EOD guys can't help themselves. They want to disarm and dissect the bomb. It's what they do and it is their kink. Complete victory over the adversary. Aura farming. As opposed to combat engineers that just blow the shit up and move on without a fuss. Combat engineers are Chads, EOD are virgin nerds.
>>65587489Going to be harder with trump and musk throttling Starlink to make it easier for the russians to shoot down Ukrainian drone swarms.
>>65587430Do we know which providers and are they in range of Ukraine?
>>65587575Starlink plays more of a role in the mid range strike campaign than the long range oneThis will provide some relief for the besieged ziggers in Crimea, but not for strategic targets in Russia proper
>>65586160>'cuz wearin' my hat backwards looks cool
>>65585695Holy jeez! Nice.>>65585675I'm not sure if true but I also heard yesterday that pro-Palestine bots originate from russian servers and the knock-outs have reduced that insidious plague of disinfo by about 80%
>>65587984Haven't heard anything about those.Did hear of a drop in activity for the AfD, Alberta Separatists and MAGA, along with a decreases in searches for health disinformation, the latter makes sense since if Yandex bots were scraping disinformation for other Russian bots to then boost and weaponize against the west.
>>65587211Absolutely, humanitarian aid cheetos are enshrined in Russia, unless of course you want to try to spin the wheel for firewood, frozen fish or.... a NEW CAR!>>65587979This nigga's running on about 64kb ram from 1989
>>65587588so how are Russians guiding? they don't have own starlink
And it looks like Zelenskyy is just giving up on dealing with trump after this latest betrayal.>Piers Morgan: Do you feel betrayed?>Zelenskyy: Yes. It's a pity that we are losing a strong partner.>Piers Morgan: You think you're losing America?>Zelenskyy: Yeah, but not because of us. We can't be weak. We're not selling our country. Look, It's our lives. It's our country, home, children and and this is very important for us. That's why it's painful when President Trump chooses one side, not our side but we are okay that he's in the middle, but if you're in the middle you have to stay in the middle, not on the wrong side. I think his advisers are wrong. I don't know who who is pushing him not to the right side. This is not right side of history.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2KrGqdxy_Ag&t=776sAlso the comment section for the interview shows that russian bots are back out in force. So it was a nice few days.
>>65588108I'm genuinely surprised that the US government is ready to lose European customers. I expected them to continue the status quo where Europeans purchase the material. They were making so much money with that system. But no, retarded niggerish chimpout instead, and for what?
>>65588108Ah that would explain that faggot Elon’s bitching earlier
>>65588121muh 'murrica firstcan't send money overseas! no foreign aid!> but they are purchasing our productsMURRICA FURST
>>65588121Its what I don't get either, the US can behave like niggers all they want but if you completely alienate Europe, that's one of the US's biggest customers going both ways across the Atlantic My other major criticism was all the MIC in the US being given a whole lot of money under Biden to up their ammo stocks when it came to things as basic as artillery all the way through to missile systems and somehow they're even fucking worse now than they were back in 2022. Part of it has to do with their Iran shenanigans and shit, but somehow the private sector seems to have ballsed it all up.If you're going to be the arms factory of the world, make some fucking weapons
>>65588139Its so fucking incomprehensible. Like wouldnt the maga wiggers be glad that america is selling record quantities of munitions and systems to europe and making europe pay for all of the ukraine support? Isnt that a giant win for them?But somehow no, the wigger voters and trump's cabinet want to instead appease ziggers? What the fuck?
>>65570717can you make all mines explode by just shooting them?
>>65588147Trump apparently wants to end the fighting in Ukraine regardless of the outcome, or who is to blame for starting it. It comes across as appeasing Russia, which it effectively is, but to Trump he's "ending wars" and he wants a Nobel peace prize (never mind Iran).As far a selling weapons, again, they don't seem to understand that other countries buying weapons from the US isn't the same as foreign aid. Also Ukraine is associated with democrats (Hunter Biden being appointed to that Ukraine gas company board), so Ukraine = democrat corruption.With the democrats going full commie it would be nice if there were competent alternatives, but here we are.
>>65588147The thing is, you can't treat business partners and military allies quite the same either. If you fuck around for long enough, they might not turn off military cooperation as there's a lot of blood under the bridge together.But trade and business?They'll drop you like pile of shit in a fucking hot minute, I'd not actually looked at the US top trade partners for ages but the top 10 on that list have all had their noses rubbed in some kind of spiteful shit, especially Canada and Mexico. You don't have to love either Canada or Mexico, but that's where a lot of pretty easy money comes from. Then there is the EU.... which makes trade with China look like a fucking lemonade stand run by 10 year olds. You can't behave like a fucking nigger with them, they will fuck your economy all up to shit and there will be rice and beans eating niggers all over the USA.Russia isn't even in the top 30 trade partners of the USThe amount of money there is worse than wild spear chucking brazillian bunga jungle goonygoogirrls!
>>65588147>>65588139>>65588121It's because trump has almost complete control over the entire US government due to stuff like Project 2025 which was partially designed to purge the government of officials that would have acted as guardrails to keep trump from doing stuff like openly backing Putin in a war, along with just stacking every possible position with yes men. As opposed to his first term where he had some qualified people to keep him from acting on his worst impulses.As for US arms manufacturers, they're not going to stand up to him over losing customers in Europe because trump's vindictive enough to just cancel every contract the US government has with the most vocal company as a scorched earth warning for the rest to stay in line. Finally, follow the money, trump and his family want to cut deals to make billions in Russia, but Putin won't let them go through with them unless Ukraine surrenders first. This has nothing to do with the US interests, just trump's greed at the expense of the US's reputation. The big question now is will trump continue to cut off US intel even though that is insanely unpopular due to the fact it's mainly used to minimize civilian casualties in Ukraine from Russian terror bombings and it's clear the Ukrainians will continue to fight for their freedom against the russian aggressors with or without it so it can't be used as leverage. Either way, this is a really shitty sitution, so here's some footage of Ukraine shooting down a Russian Mi-28 helicopter with a drone to brighten the mood.
>>65588170Trump has not pressured russia to come to the negotiating table. So no, he is not trying to end the war by any means.He is specifically trying to appease putler who he fancies. That's also why these attempts are constantly failing. He isnt genuine with his "neutrality" and trying to force both sides to bargain. All he is doing is making russians believe that they can scrape together some sort of a win because america is so uncommitted. He is directly prolonging the war with this retard policy. All for licking putler's boots.
>>65588173Its so fucking tragic that this is the situation. Yet even now we have anons like >>65588170 who still huff generational amounts of copium with "b-b-but a-at least t-trump is not a DEMOCRAT!!!1!"
>>65588170the democrats are not communist lol.
>>65588175And to add to this, trump and musk have never demanded putin step down from power, along with the fact that putin immediately violated the 'energy cease fire' that trump unilaterally tried to force on Ukraine when they targeted Ukrainian power plants mere hours after trump announced it, but he didn't say a word and is continuing to lift sanctions that the US congress imposed on the russians>>65588178>>65588182I got a gut feeling he's a vatnik since he's using the standard the 'both sides are awful' card that vatniks have perfected.
>>65588147It's pretty clear Trump wants the Nobel Peace Prize because Obama got it. He thinks ending the Russia - Ukraine war will achieve that no matter how he does it. He views Putin as a strongman so he's trying to push Zelenskyy into capitulating.
Yup.
>>65588182Mamdani says hello.
A reminder to not bite the vatnik's /pol/ bait since he wants to derail the thread.
>>65588191You truly deserve the "fell for it again" award.
>65588170>With the democrats going full commie>>65588191>I won't vote for marxists or islamists, and the dems are deeply in bed with each>>65588194>Mamdani says hello.Damn, are they abolishing money?Doing land redistribution to give all the hedgefund-owned property to the residents?Declaring the Republican party illegal and sending its officials to a FEMA gulag to perform hard labor for their bread and water?>>65588199>A reminder to not bite the vatnik's /pol/ bait since he wants to derail the thread.I think it's actually an attempt to get responses that are off-topic for /k/ and then the discord brigades them with reports. Jannies don't look at the thread or what the posts are responding to, so they just see an off-topic post in /k/ and b& away.Reporting the initial bait is worthwhile but it's not sufficient because the discord or /chug/niks who aren't b& will report your posts anyway.>>65588173>Either way, this is a really shitty sitution, so here's some footage of Ukraine shooting down a Russian Mi-28 helicopter with a drone to brighten the mood.It's a nice attempt but since the earliest days, we light fires to chase the darkness away.
>>65588218And a little more.
>>65588220
>>65588218True, but still best to not bite the bait.Also that's a really nice fire.
>>655882206?! Do we know yet if these were airframes used for spare parts or part of the active air fleet?
>>65588252We know fuck all.FWIW: Ukranian Navy downgraded the report to "affected" rather than "destroyed" but fighter-zigger seems pretty unhappy about it either way.
>>65588276I should say, we know fuck all as of right now. These are the earliest reports.Z-bloggers are saying to report only what Ukraine has already reported, Ukraine isn't reporting very much.If local commanders can cover up the extent of the damage, that probably ultimately helps Ukraine so they post a bit for morale/propaganda and have no real incentive to provide details.I'm not sure why they were specific about Neptunes, one could be suspicious about that but maybe it's nothing.
>>65588276>given the current cast-iron ass of realitygotta hand it to the russians, they have such a way with words
>>65588218Fires are nice, but may I offer a Ukrainian Double Tap?
>>65588280>none of this would have to be done today if grandma had a dickIm fucking dying
>>65588280>None of this would have to be done today if grandma had a dickWell that's a new one! Just when I thought I had them figured out there's a fresh new hell
>>65587003>musk realized how badly it looks for him so he's currently blaming trump by saying he was ordered by him to cut off Starlink to the Ukrainians.They gonna have another little bitch fight over social media about it?The rich and powerful these days are more pathetic than teenagers.
>>65588280>I'm not sure why they were specific about Neptunes, one could be suspicious about that but maybe it's nothing.picrelThis is via Butusov so take it with a pinch of salt. Preferably in the form of salty vatnik tears.It does seem plausible though.>>65588289>may I offer a Ukrainian Double TapThat sounds like something from Urban Dictionary that I'd only let you do on the second night together.>>65588303>They gonna have another little bitch fight over social media about it?The whitehouse denied having anything to do with it and said to ask Starlink.
>>65588280>>65588276>ancient, forgotten inventions of concrete and steel sheltersSelf aware, I like it>none of this would have happened if grandma had a dickHuh? I love me some hag porn, but I never expected the russians to be into futanari hags...Just regular futanari
>>65588316>Just regular futanariThat's too straight for them
>>65586160This the famous Ohioan intellectual breed I've heard so much about.
>>65586160>being a veteranoorah muhreens
>>65588316>Self awareAt some point, a zigger has to look at the ancient losstech and wonder why it isn't made anymore.
>>65588303Musk is just posting saying “I was right and Zelensky has gone too far when he hit a data center” he hasn’t blamed the admin as far as I know
>>65585695Zelensky deliberately fucked with Trump's attempt to buy Russian diesel and gloated about it. Short man is finding out. I wouldn't be surprised if he ends up dead.
>>65588710My safe money would be on the short cunt surviving both the Pint Sized Putin and Big Mac Trump by a long marginIts easy to say they want to kill someone, but real nigga time its way harder than magical thinking
>>65588710Why is he buying Russian diesel to begin with
>>65588289was the first drop one of those 3 gallon buckets?
>>65588276>The cast-iron is in the ass
>>65588289>>65588835that second was definitely thermobaric...
>>65588755Because diesel was cheap but then Ukraine blew up Russian refineries making it expensive so the only option is to buy from Russia that isn't producing any because their refineries blew up.Please don't think about it, they really don't want people to think about it.
>>65588970Please, no...
>>65588170>he wants a Nobel peace prizeEven an average amoeba would have realized by now that he NEVER will get it. Not in a million years.
>>65588218
>>65588991NTA but if you are hating on Tin Tin you better be a zoomer that doesn't know any better.
Wish someone would call me ESL. I love when strangers flatter me.
>>65589014kike
>>65588999>two pairs and a flushNice
>>65588985>he NEVER will get itLOLBoss Nigger gets one for existing and Golden Boy can't even buy one no matter how many wars he announces Deals about.Soft power is a weapon that is unappreciated and misunderstood by the less than empathetic. The Western World basically runs on the power of friendship. A sympathetic word hits harder than a JDAM.
>>65589060Funny thing is the Nobel committee has since said they shouldn't have given it to Obama which they shouldn't have.
>>65588220>>65588276The official claim is now 4 destroyed and 2 affected.
>>65589014>Tin Tin>Zionist propagandaAre you actually retarded?
>>65589065I missed that but at least they know.
>>65572133Not 100% sure what he expected.
>>65589074They started out trying burger/euro D&C before pivoting to jews, so I think you know what's going on.
>>65589071These are probably fine.
>>65589101No, we do not. Kindly cite some examples since the comic series ended in 1983 with the passing of its creator Herge
>>65589118He's saying that the anon 'sperging out and throwing around accusations of zionist propaganda is a clueless russian shill. Likely a hired jeet simply regurgitating standardized pro-zigger arguments in an effort to shit up the thread.Since this is a thread that shows just how retarded typical russians are, pro-zigger shills trying to shit all over the thread are to be expected.
>>65588999consider those digits checked
>>65589139>He's saying that the anon 'sperging out and throwing around accusations of zionist propaganda is a clueless russian shill.That's precisely what I was saying.>>65589118>Kindly cite some examples since the comic series ended in 1983NTA you mong
>>65590121I respect how much Zelenskyy has tried to dance around Trump and avoid alienating him in many ways but I can't blame him for this criticism. I don't think Trump understands (or cares, more importantly) how existential this is for Ukraine and ending fighting with the wrong deal is worse than most other outcomes
>>65590121That is a very clear campaign speech on behalf of the dems for the midterms. At this point why not? What's Trump going to do that won't hurt him more than it hurts Ukraine?He's already attracted direct attacks from Republicans.
>>65590202trump is also 80 years oldMy dad is 78 and can't even manage to pay his bills anymorequestion is how an old retarded fart like that got put in charge
>>65570184>no hands>no eyeswhy even live at that point?
>>65590121/k/ weapons LMAO
Breaking news, according to the shill here >>65590325, drones and ballistic missiles are no longer classified as weapons.
>>65585695>While its never ending fun to make fun of perfidious Anglos, its about time to start on perfidious Yanks.>The complete lack of moral compass is enough to make even die-hard friends dizzytrue
>>65588170fucking retard lmao
>>65590341/k/ WEAPONSLMAO
>>65590121based as fuck
>>65590336I assume because it's a major update for Ukraine's War against Russian Aggression that greatly influenced how the war is moving forward, and not just complaining about a a political figure. Plus russian data centers and oil refineries are valid military targets, so of course people want to see footage of the latest smoking accidents. Which will continue based on Zelenskyy's statement >>65590121And to make sure we remain on topic, here's footage of the Balakovo data centrer, the 4th data center to be struck by the Ukrainians, having some minor issues with its fire suppression system.
>>65590206>That is a very clear campaign speech on behalf of the dems for the midterms.
>>65590675See>>65588199
>>65588121>>65588139>>65588147>>65588170a mixture of Iran in the present, Taiwan in the obfuscated future, as well as ongoing budget issues and the near election cycle all provide incentive for the US to limit the sale of munitions to Ukraine (Europe)>but the US would get money for ittrue, but alas the weapons may be needed *now* and money would only make them *later*My heart goes out to Ukraine, but as always you should probably be blaming Germany/Europe for this as the US has been BEGGING Europe to rearm for literal decades (which they refused to do even after 2014, and were still reluctant after 2022). And instead of taking anything the drunken monkey rapist to the east said seriously, they just instead decided to become more dependent on Russian oil. Aside from eastern europeans, they're alright. that being stated, denying intelligence is silly, as thats essentially free/a sunk cost
>>65590206>>65590202>That is a very clear campaign speech on behalf of the dems for the midterms.you overestimate a flipped house/senate's ability to actually do anything without overwhelming majority (which they won't have)further, trump is a lame duck positive/negative press doesn't really matter to him unless its REALLY REALLY REALLY negative, like flip every red state blue negativethis is all diplomatic "cheap talk", as in it doesn't hold any power. for all we know, its Zelinsky trying to scare Europe into actually spending money on defense (at Trump's behest). Not saying it is that, but just saying that we don't actually know its purpose and its best to wait and see what major powers *do* rather than *say*
>>65590840It’s a shame Trump was dumb enough to get tricked into attacking Iran and then being unable to get them to give up Offering to sell weapons to China is even more retarded of him
>>65590310I hope he is dead. In this case really, it's better for him. Also he went out with a smile. Not bad for a vatnig.
I still don't know what he was doing.
>>65591469Made a charge (crimped det cap with his teeth, not smart) to blow up the mine, but then ziggered out and touched the mine with a stick instead of just placing his charge anywhere near it. Which made mine go boom.
