Ukrainian T-64BV blown up so hard that the turret wound up on the second story of a building. Fresh tanks from the Czech Republic to Ukraine (T-72s and BVP-1's) Russia being China's bitch isn't the worst outcome for the Russian people, if anything it'll be good for them. I mean it's literally the worst possible scenario for Russia and it's not a bad deal at all.

Yes anyone can "prove" anything if it fits their narrative. White Western extremists and morally bankrupt Redditors hate Russia, I get it, no sense trying to convince people otherwise if they've made up their minds already. Since the play by play will remain woefully inaccurate for the time being, I'll just post some badass pics in the meantime. Russian tankers near Izyum, very 'Tankie'.

The key word there is "apparent" and wartime propaganda (both sides) is still in overdrive so I would be patient and wait a month after the war is over to get a more accurate analysis about the conduct. Here is an equally relevant counter claim.

LOL. Leave it to Bill to hit the nail on the head. I'd like for the GOP to "modernize" their agenda and stop being the "stupid" party, but until more evidence presents itself looks like it could be wishful thinking. America is just political dumb dumb land and will continue to polarize unless a 3rd party comes in, which I have repeatedly advocated for but it always falls on deaf ears. The last resort is revolution, but not seeing much rumblings for that either on the ground (expect for idiot anarchist-types and far right militia nutjobs). Screw it. I give up. may as well just become a corporate shill because nothing in politics suits me whatsoever.

Didn't Red Alert comedian Zelensky just fire two generals? Usually a good indicator of winning... While the outcome of the war is not in doubt, there's grumblings about a major battle coming up in the Donbass that could take weeks up to a month, and should be decisive. Also yes, even the most pro Putin diehards following the situation closely have acknowledged that he made some risky operations that they would have advised against, but if he removed the "political" factor completely and gave his military full control of the situation like he did in the 2nd Chechen War all those years ago, there would be a whole Hell of a lot more civilian casualties for sure.

Also logistical difficulties, it's very damn difficult to keep resupplying troops the further and faster they get away from depots in hostile territory, add a serious numerical advantage to Soviet manpower and yeah. Also the whole "They damn near took Moscow!" argument doesn't hold much water to me as because it assumes that even if they did enter Moscow that they would just take it. Napoleon entered Moscow and that spelled his defeat, and considering the Stalingrad battle you can imagine the difficulty the Germans would face at conquering Moscow and declaring a victory. And Putin's motives here are pretty obvious, he and most Russians consider themselves a great power with a glorious past and and want to behave like one.

Trump just bragged about having "bigger and better" nukes than Russia so Trump is not the revolutionary autocrat certain Democrats make him out to be. The GOP has lots of promise but they do need to modernize in several aspects. The biggest factor I think that contributes to Biden's low standing for Independents is inflation and prices going up. Historically, Independents just want low prices and good wages above all else and hate government coddling and war drums.

1.0% and 0.1% are where its at for gaming as it amounts for consistency (avg fps is raw speed, which is low priority because GPU's are the dominant factor in games), if benchmarks show better values for the 5800X3D I would be interested.

Intel is a very insular company so of course they would make XeSS an exclusive like DLSS, and it shouldn't be hard to give future devs the tools to implement them. They are rich enough where's they can establish a fanbase where a large enough demographic will be die hard loyalists at any rate, especially in such a market driven society.

GOP set to absolutely destroy in 2022, and it could be of proportions worse than 2010. Makes sense really, with psychotic anti-Russia hysteria and obsession with Covid jabs and identity politics (Give women and minorities better employment positions just because of the fact), it makes sense that independents are donning the red now. Here's a month old link but I believe it's relevent. https://townhall.com/tipsheet/guybenson/2022/02/28/blowout-gop-bounces-to-historic-lead-on-2022-ballot-in-new-poll-n2603860 How does it feel, Blue team, to learn that you are not as progressive or enlightened as you thought you were, and that your agenda could get wiped off of the map here in U.S.A. and you might have to move to Europe or something if you cannot accept this trend?

And yet, there's still some circles that seem to gobble up everything Western media writes that's critical of Russia instead of putting forth some extra effort and trying to find independent sources that are more factual than that of Soviet rapes and sent to the front w/o weapons via Enemy at the Gates. Here's an example of a neutral piece of information that is quite good. https://thegrayzone.com/2022/03/30/us-veteran-fight-ukraine-suicide-mission/ Plenty of facts and 1st hand experiences in there, more people should try it, myself included.

That same Washington Post "Democracy Dies in Darkness" .

LOL. Who's really playing the long game here?

Not to mention India buying a crap ton of gas from them as well, at discount no less. Sanctions work guys keep it up. It's worth it for all the moral crusading and gaslighting, right? RIGHT?!

The only one I can think of here is KOTOR 2, the rest just weren't as optimized as they should have been, but I always saw that as part of the charm. You also have some flawless, albeit smaller scale games like PoE, Tyranny, South Park, and my personal favorite, TOW.

The problem with Russian public opinion is that it's hard to gauge numerically. What we do know for sure that support for any kind of pro-Western government is at the bottom of the list, as the average Russian sees the average Westerner as dumb, rich, and too full of themselves, sort of like how Iranians see the U.S. And it's hard to gauge how many Russians currently (Key word there, it's no longer the 90's or 00's) want Communism back because every Communist party member believes that Putin has the entire election process rigged in his favor (The only thing Navalny supporters and Communists have in common). Most support appears to go to Putin right now with Communists in 2nd place, but it's unknown just HOW MUCH 2nd place they actually are unlike Navalny supporters and other pro-Western parties along with that idiot Zhirinovsky who are all a distant 3rd place collectively. My advice? Communists and United Russia should form some kind of material synthesis and weed out the bad elements of both parties and forge the good. It would be Stalin meets A.Dugin, and I think most Russians could welcome that kind of union (no pun intended).

I don't know about that, I think I'd risk a bullet or a mortar shell than the slow agonizing death of radiation poisoning. The lucky ones died instantly, the rest, well, just check out the horror stories somewhere on the web, hardly a worse fate. Also, looks like Zelensky is coming to his senses and now serious about peace talks as the Western public that doesn't waste too much time dwelling on dark corners of the internet is getting a bit tired of the war and just wants a conclusion (literally everyone in the breakroom today was expressing disgust at both Ukraine and Will Rock constantly on the news to keep the ratings up). I gotta say though, Biden has got to be the largest economic gutter to the world economy in history, from his Covid relief packages to his sanctions, it's like taking a machete and gutting a humpback whale of how fiscally reckless he is.

Not officially no, but I had an Iraq war buddy a while back, and he told me how his platoon used to blow up vehicles and got the go-ahead on the slightest hint of being an insurgent, and they all except him got a kick out of it. If they were in fact innocent civilians, oh well! Maybe not as bad as Vietnam, but still.

Here we go again with the moral high ground "exceptional" **** Daily reminder "The World" EDIT: Also reminder, Russia is trying to avoid civilian casualties, which could explain the apparent lack significant breakthroughs lately

Search engines are your friend, living in bubbles where rich white people set the narrative is not your friend. Russian victory conditions: Ukraine never becomes part of Nato and remains a neutral buffer state Donbass region is fully recognized as an independent albeit most certainly pro-Russian gvts. (Donetsk and Luhansk consist of the Donbass region) Stop neo Nazi's and other anti-Russian groups from attacking Donbass region, which brings us to Completely deNazify all armed forces in Ukraine, especially the notorious Azov battalion (Ukrainian Nazi's think they are the true Slavs and Russian are inferior and Asiatic, Western liberals are actually doing a wonderful job perpetuating these early-to-mid 20th century stereotypes of Russians) ......... If all conditions are met, it's a Russian victory, if only some than it's a stalemate or a semi stalemate, if none than it's a Ukrainian victory, a neo Nazi victory, and a Western liberal victory.

Yep. Whatever outcome of the war, the damage is already done. Gonna be Weimar levels of hyperinflation soon, judging by the Fed's prior actions in such circumstances. Not even sure if $20/h is gonna be enough to survive at this rate...

Azov suffered its biggest losses today to date and no longer exists as a cohesive unit. Announcement from Mariupol any minute. Head of the DPR Denis Pushilin and State Duma deputies Turchak and Sablin are already there. Happy tears.

https://www.newsweek.com/putins-bombers-could-devastate-ukraine-hes-holding-back-heres-why-1690494 What's actually going on with the special operation in Ukraine. This whole time the U.S. has been projecting its air obliterator strategy it uses on brown countries but the facts show that the Russians are being very careful with their attacks. Probably a bit to early to reveal truth bombs like this on Newsweek so I'm afraid the authors career might be in jeopardy. @Mamoulian War is of course very wrong in Russians as a whole turning on Putin, as he maintains a 70% support which has been the mean consistency throughout his tenure. Maryana Naumova chimes in here in response to Arnold's crap response to the operation: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=saSAP0UUnyU

I'd rather move to Shanghai than the 4th Reich for that. (Though honestly the U.S. has been good to me lately, there's a labor shortage so I was able to bargain a bangin' wage at my new job). Also this war is pleasing the right people. Much more info out there but it'll take some time to prepare and I can't be bothered right now but let's just say that I'm liking this conflict because bringing the theory of unipolarity down to earth and I'm noticing a bit less ego and pride in West which is a breath of fresh air. Pride always comes before the fall.
