Re: Russian/Ukraine War Discussion Thread VIII
You can post videos for both sides. It’s just that pro Russian posters got banned or became innactive. There are a lot of videos for Russian side, so if you are interested in posting them and have a free time, you are welcome to do so.

Re: Russian/Ukraine War Discussion Thread VIII
If your mother died in Crimea, you would consider going to Ukraine and murder more innocent people? Why not grow a pair of balls and go to the streets of Moscow and fight against the person who would actually be guilty of the death of your mother in that case? In that scenario, your mother would have been fine if the führer hadn't invaded Ukraine. Your führer created this timeline, where Ukraine is at war with Russia, therefore, all consequences are on the führer, even if Ukraine is the one who pulls the trigger. This actually illustrates a well known fallacy called "sunk cost fallacy", where a person will double down on a wrong decision, because doing something else would force them to accept the accountability of their first bad decision. This is why this war will go on for a long time, and why Russian casualties are actually a good thing. This is why the führer can and will send young men to their certain death. Higher casualties will cause the population to double down and want the war even more. Signing a peace, or retreating from their positions would make all the deaths worthless. There are some interviews with Russian parents, who have lost their sons in this war. They illustrate this sunk cost fallacy very well. Instead of saying "hey, i should not have sent my son to the war", they say..."we should have sent our son to the war sooner, before Ukraine became this strong". They blame everyone else, except themselves and their führer. As if someone else forced their son to accept the money for signing a mercenary contract. |

Re: Russian/Ukraine War Discussion Thread VIII
https://www.theguardian.com/world/ar...fence-minister Putin removes Sergei Shoigu as Russia’s defence minister Vladimir Putin has removed his longtime ally Sergei Shoigu as defence minister in the most significant reshuffle to the military command since Russian troops invaded Ukraine more than two years ago. In a surprise announcement, the Kremlin said Andrei Belousov, a former deputy prime minister who specialises in economics, will replace Shoigu. Putin, who was sworn into his fifth term as Russia’s leader earlier this week, proposed that Shoigu take the position as head of Russia’s powerful security council. It is currently led by Nikolai Patrushev, a hawkish former spy and one of Putin’s closest advisers. Shoigu, Russia’s longest-serving minister, assumed leadership of the defence ministry in 2012 after his tenure as the emergency services minister. He has been leading Russia’s military through its full-scale invasion of Ukraine, which began in 2022. As defence minister Shoigu was tasked with modernising Russia’s military and was believed to have direct access to Putin, going on regular hunting and fishing trips with him in Siberia. Shoigu’s popularity in Russia grew after the illegal annexation of Crimea in 2014, which he was credited with orchestrating. But he has come under intense criticism for Russia’s military setbacks after the February 2022 invasion, as well as for his inability to root out the widespread corruption that continues to plague the army. Most dramatically, Shoigu was forced to fend off an armed uprising last summer by mercenary leader Yevgeny Prigozhin, who had called for his arrest. Shoigu’s position appeared to have weakened last month when the security services arrested his long-term confidant Timur Ivanov, a deputy defence minister, and charged him with large-scale corruption. On paper, Sunday’s reorganisation places Shoigu in a position formally considered higher ranking than his role in the defence ministry in what some observers believe is a move by Putin that allows his old ally to save face. Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov said that Putin decided to appoint Belousov, a veteran economist, to lead the defence ministry after Russia’s war spending had vastly increased. “It’s very important to put the security economy in line with the economy of the country so that it meets the dynamics of the current moment,” Peskov said. Peskov added that the Russian president had decided a civilian should head the defence ministry to ensure the department was “open to innovations and advanced ideas”. Russia has presided over a massive ramping up of industrial military production over the last two years, with total defence spending rising to an estimated 7.5% of its GDP. A former defence official who has worked with Shoigu, speaking on conditions of anonymity, said: “The Kremlin wants the ministry to be led by an economist who knows how to streamline its operations. “The defence ministry is supposed to be efficient and well run, while the actual decisions on the battlefield are left to the military.” Valery Gerasimov, the veteran chief of Russia’s general staff and someone with a more hands-on role when it comes to the fighting, will remain in post, the Kremlin said. It remains unclear what position will be taken by Patrushev, who has led the security council since 2008 and is believed to have helped mastermind the invasion of Ukraine. Peskov told Russian state media late on Sunday that Patrushev’s new role will be announced in the “next few days”. Earlier this week it was announced that his son Dmitry Patrushev, formerly agriculture minister, will be promoted to deputy prime minister. |

Re: Russian/Ukraine War Discussion Thread VIII
By the looks of things posted, it seems as though it wasn't the best plan to fight for mother russia as there's a big difference between patriotic duty & certain death / outright slaughter. They are fighting for a country that doesn't give a fuck about them. You think that they would see that but, Oh No ! Gotta keep up the needless slaughter of civilians & the like for their Fuhrer at any cost. |
