Hello Overseas Friends! I attempted to post on the other board but was unable...
I understand that this conflict is ongoing and I do not want to discuss morality. I am not interested in that. I just want to ask this question to real Russians. I do not want to blindly read the propaganda that is being fed to me. Russia is a superpower! They have a well educated, well trained volunteer army, like the US. The West wants people to believe that the Russians are not "pulling their punches" or gathering all their forces.
I doubt it. I think Russia is acting like the US would act. Only sending as many as they think they need. If the Kremlin wants to raze Ukraine and cause international outrage, they will.
Do you think Russia views this war the same way the US viewed Iraq or Afghanistan? Thanks!!!
>>132539 (OP) You can only post on other boards for foreigners with a passcode. I also recommend to create these threads in /int/pol in the future. The Mod doesn't like it if a political thread is outside of /int/pol. https://2ch.hk/int/res/123465.html
>Russia is a superpower! No.The Russian Federation is something between a regional power and a superpower. It inherits some elements of the superpower called the USSR, but it is not a superpower in a number of respects. Usually, a superpower is understood as a country with enormous political, economic, military and cultural power, capable of exerting global influence on all spheres of world politics. Apart from military power, which is currently the first in the world, Russia is behind the US in the other three indicators, although it is clearly striving to narrow the gap. The US and China are the undisputed superpowers.
>The West wants people to believe that the Russians are not "pulling their punches" or gathering all their forces. If I understand the expression correctly, we are talking about prolonging the conflict and the absence of full military mobilization. Russia is doing this because at this stage of the war it is not economically profitable; declaring an official war removes a number of restrictions and imposes new ones. War is a completely different legal status than a “special military operation” in Russian law, because of which Russia would have to switch to a military economy, which would affect other areas of the economy (development of civilian AI, civilian airplanes, medicine, etc.).
>I think Russia is acting like the US would act. No. The US starts its war by destroying the entire power generation and water supply of the enemy, causing a humanitarian catastrophe and wreaking havoc in the enemy ranks. Russia didn't do that because Ukraine has a huge number of Russian speakers, former Russians from the Russian empire who were forcibly Ukrainianized and assimilated by Ukrainian communists (no job if you don't know Ukrainian, no work, no job, go to jail). I am not going to push a 10000 page Putin style historical text here. You can read it yourself. The point is that Russia is using humanitarian approach, this is one of the main difficulties of this war. And I personally think this approach is flawed, if we were more cynical like the US about our enemies , this war would have ended much faster. The Russian Empire lost 700,000 Russian soldiers in the war to liberate the Balkans from Turkish slavery, and where are these countries now? All of them except Serbia are now members of a hostile alliance. Humanitarianism in Russian culture is not bad in itself, but it is Russia's main problem militarily. That's why being number one in power in the world doesn't make Russia a great warrior. I find the cynical approach of the US more successful.
>Do you think Russia views this war the same way the US viewed Iraq or Afghanistan? This war for Russia is not an attempt to have strategic influence (unlike the operation in Syria), it's a security issue that was very much compromised by the CIA's actions in supporting the coup d'état in 2014. A civil war broke out in Ukraine (all western media denies this fact, but it's just a fucking fact by all criteria) and the Ukrainian army started a military campaign against the east of their country, destroying the population, part of the AFU army defected to the rebels, many rebellions were suppressed (except Donetsk and Lugansk) which forced Russia to intervene indirectly for humanitarian reasons. Ukraine in NATO is a serious power imbalance, the Black Sea (5 NATO fleets vs. 1 Russian fleet) is a serious security hole through which Russia can be pressured geopolitically by limiting its sovereignty. The only infrastructure in the region that allowed NATO and Russia to have a strategic advantage was the Crimean ports. This war has a strategic importance that determines Russia's ability to develop and is much more important than Afghanistan or Iraq. Afghanistan or Iraq can be compared to the Russian operation in Syria, but the Ukrainian conflict is more serious for Russia's existence.
How and who benefits from provoking Russia, you can guess for yourself.
And the answer to the main question: Can Russia lose? No, it can't. Russia will suffer a complete strategic defeat, so all means, including nuclear weapons, will be gradually used to prevent this.
you all faggots

>>132424 (OP) I looked it up, it's really interesting information. You need to have one thread, otherwise the mods will delete them for deviating from the ideological line of the section. One way or another Marichka relates to politics.
Just found a video about abandoned Soviet underground bunkers in Chukotka. Too bad there are no English subtitles, but if anyone is interested in watching an interesting video with incomprehensible words in the background, you are welcome. https://youtu.be/M6hRADYRJ0o
>>132348 Well, russians make three types of movies: War Movie, Social Drama and Social Comedy. Of the three first category is the best since the state in Soviet Times and Now puts money into it, the problem with it is that since they put money into it they also want to have say in messaging. Not like they don't in other categories, but less things slip throw. Social Drama is unwatchable since it made by people without talent or financing, Social Comedy I'm not sure can translate into other cultures humour but since you are from EE I figure you'll manage. So of the 3 War Movies is that you should watch. The best in each genre is: "Они Сражались за Родину" (it's technically second best after "Иди и Смотри", but I won't recommend it to anyone), "Зелёный Слоник" и "Горько".
>>132389 I suppose he is interested in politics in general, but he cannot discuss Russian politics, especially nationalism, without the fear of ending up in prison.
Why are Russians ashamed of their Asian background? Even its elite recognize this. Putin worships Tengri and Practices Siberian Shamanism.
>It is claimed the Kremlin boss had taken part in bizarre secret shamanic rituals with his defence minister Sergey Shoigu
>Defence Minister Sergey Shoygu is considered a discreet acolyte of shamanistic practices
>The inhabitants of Tuva declared him the incarnation of Subutai, one of the most effective military leaders of the Mongol Empire. Subutai’s exploits included a victory in the Battle of the Kalka River, which began the collapse of the Kyivan state
>Putin spends all his vacations in the Altai, mainly in the Republic of Tuva
>Russian researchers claim that Putin became interested in Altai mysticism in 2014: “The president has already visited many sacred places, and when the war broke out and unrest broke out, he found a point of strength in the Altai"
>According to the Altai Bilyk, when change begins and unrest arises, the ruler must return to the source of the river of life. He is actively told that the Altai is the common root of the Slavs and the Turks, and that this “place of power” may be the assembly point of Russia
>Tuvan shamans insist that the northern entrance to Shambhala is in their republic, near the ruined fortress of Por-Bazhin
>In 2007 Sergei Shoigu organized an “archeological expedition” there and convinced Putin that there was an entrance to Shambhala
>Putin was received the sacred sutras of the psycho-physical doctrine of Shaolin kung fu as a gift from Abbot Shi Yongxing
>Shi Yongxin introduced the President of the Russian Federation to one of the wushu masters named Shi Yanzhou and said that this experienced master is able to use “qigong” as a powerful mean of self-defense and fighting back the enemy”
Putin literally thinks he's an Asiatic Khan. He worships the Great Sky-God and wants to conquer the world like Genghis. He is part an atavistic oriental steppe cult.
>A fortune teller once told Putin that his demise will come from a "green snot". This is the reason Russian propaganda bullied hard Greta Thunberg, the reason Putin run into the bunker when he heard abour Covid, and the reason of the ridiculous 20 meter tables he still meets people at now. And then the name of the President of the Ukraine is Zelensky which is a derivative of the "green" in slavic languages ("zeleniy"), who was called a "green snot" (зeлeнaя шмapкля) by his own voters in 2021 because he looked too weak as a president. >This is the sole reason of the invasion. Putin was so much scared that he called for help to the magic of digits and signed the order for the war 22.02.2022 instead of waiting for the summer with short nights and dry roads. CIA and Bidens administration knew that well and played the ball scheduling Bidens press conference at 2:22 PM. Puting and Shoygu were horrified when heard that and still are now. They are destroyed.
>Shoygu btw is no less superstitious than Putin himself, Shoyggu is a siberian pagan and he has quite an influence over Putin to say it mildly. Putin believes that Shoygu is an avatara of Subutai (an invincible Genghis Khan's general) and that behind Shoygus back stand "Spirits of Ancestors" or whatever they call them. Their threats of "CONSEQUENCES" are no threats of aggression, they treaten that they are going to perform powerful rites for the demise of enemies. In their reality it is as real as everything else.
>Pic related is the "Main Cathedral of the Russian Armed Forces" they built recently near Moscow. A human can't really observe its beauty from the ground, one needs to be ubiquitous and stay around the complex to grasp it. It is built for the Spirits. The stairs to the heart of the Zikkurat are cast from they trophy weapons of the defeated enemies of the past (they said it themselves).
>V, O, Z tactical signs are for Volodimir Oleksandrovich Zelensky. A hex.
