Russian Invasion of the Ukraine - The Official WW3 Thread

[Niamh.]

The Belarusian dictator has revealed Moldova will be invaded next

oh god, a lot of Ukrainian refugees have already fled there.

[Kizzy]

Attended?

Definitely purposeful, just a day after they announce they will accept 200,000 Ukrainians

The thing about Slovenia is not only is it quite small and unimportant diplomatically, and the rest of Europe won’t pay much attention to this (unlike maybe if it was the Polish consulate)but is also former Yugoslavia and Putin having a dig at it

No wonder you are called glib...

The the thing is nobody is unimportant, diplomatically or in any other way. The rest of Europe will pay attention and respond.

Russia has made an attack on a Slovenia Consulate in Ukraine, Slovenia are part of Nato but it isn't yet clear if it was an intended attack or misjudged attack

Hopefully this gives NATO a reason to get more involved and help Ukraine

it's a war zone, if the embassy didn't evacuate already they are crazy. There will be plenty embassy's that get demolished

Will NATO risk a world war? Mind you it doesn't seem like Russia and Belarus are content with just Ukraine. :/

It will one way or the other I think, the question is how much damage is he willing to do while he still can.

The scariest sentiment I've seen Putin express in interviews is that he knows he has the power to destroy the world, he doesn't want to destroy the world, but that for him "without Russia there is no world" or something to that effect. In other words, if Russia is ****ed he doesn't care if the whole world is ****ed.

The only safe route out of this is for there to be guarantees that Russia won't be completely economically destroyed by the end of it, IMO. If that's looking unlikely... he may well make it a fight to the death.

It actually isn't. Armies do what they're told (without meaning to be as blunt as that sounds), If they're told to invade a place, they'll do it, if they're told to defend a place, they'll do that too. But if 99% of citizens take to the streets to protest a governmental use of the military, then a politicians desire for self preservation will override any support the soldiers themselves have for their orders.

I'm not talking about Ukraine - just why the opinion of soldiers doesn't matter to a government. If we have 10k soldiers in favour of something, but 70m citizens against it, then which of those groups poses the most threat to a politician come election time?

And Its been explained that people on the streets will not change anything, because people just dont take to the streets...the army has never been deployed since whenever during public protest in the uk..if ever!

This time your graph would need more and more people than there ever has been to protest in the streets of the uk...twitter and Facebook wont work.

So you think your graph proves people trust the eu more than Johnson...But your graph also shows that people would have to come out in there tens of millions in SUPPORT of a war on EU territory.....THAT AINT GONNA HAPPEN..


So our soldiers will do as they are told and defend our queen and country when needed. Why you may ask..

Because that's why they signed up, so good luck getting the 10 percent of soldiers needed in your made up scenario.

it will be article 5 that is activated if one of the nato countries gets attacked. So it has nothing to do with the EU and everything to do with Russia. If nato is not attacked, we wont go to war with russia

Article 5 was invented so a country on the receiving end of a terrorist attack could bomb the **** out of whatever country they blamed for it, without persecution from the other members of nato.

Not to attack russia if it invaded anywhere.

No. the graph proves that people trust the EU more than our own leaders (both main parties). Nothing else. You extrapolated the rest of it. You're now agreeing with me that soldiers do what they're told, so I'm not sure what your argument is, and is also in contradiction of your original argument that soldiers opinions matter more than civvies.

99% of people can barely agree the sky s blue, so the hypothetical I gave you was to explain and show you why you are incorrect, not because 99% of people are likely to start protesting government, especially since that kind of action now carries a 10yr prison sentence. But we are the free nation?

The police can not police a protest that would incurr a ten year jail term for anyone involved..you would need poll tax scenes minimum for that...one that would need the army involved to keep the peace.


BUT...we are taking about world war 3 possibilities....SO.

The only time the army may go against the establishment in this country is if they are ordered to attack their own people..


I'm adding all this up, and what it says to me is that if people are out in 99 percent of the population, protesting for war to defend the eastern EU countries the army will be sent in to keep the peace, but 10 percent of the army want this as well as the 99 percent of the citizens.....

Or, 1 percent are out not wanting war, and 90 percent of the army are with them...

Firstly, neither of us are communists. I was a trot in my younger days, but that's the difference between people who experiment and study, versus people who use communist in the pejorative without actually understanding anything about it. Exact same thing with Marxism and socialism. I'm a socialist by the way, if you want the catch-all label I'd use to describe my own political leanings.

The 10yr prison sentences for protesting is law now (passed 2 nights ago). Police just arrest people, it's the courts that pass sentences. It doesn't require any violence or poll tax style people on the streets and violence. it just requires a protest to be an inconvenience or a bit loud so that someone complains. Protests are there to create discomfort and be loud, so you see the issue? I stand by this, whether it was the pro-brexit, England flag waving Galahads, or the jack booted, stab vest military style scary uniforms of BLM. Protest is a fundamental part of democracy - which we pretend we still live under.

I don't get the maths stuff you've tried to do at all, so if either you or anyone else can explain a bit better, i'll be happy to reply. I'm not being a smart arse, i just genuinely don't understand it.

just to clarify the last sentence, are you saying that the EU are the war mongers in this situation and not Putin?

I just posted a graph that explains that under polling, the EU is more trusted than our own political leaders. It's really not any more complicated than that.

[Beso]

My main point is, people trust the eu leaders above their own..in doing that, they will ne the first ones leading us into a war, if they protest en masse in support of their preferred choices in the poll....

For me, it just highlights that people know the political system is completely broken in this country, but they don't know what to do about it. How will trusting the EU over Johnson or Starmer lead us into more war? Johnson and his cabinet are funded by the perps of the war, and Starmer is so desperate to win the votes of tories, he's trying to outflank Boris from the right.

preparing for the baby,

Me and my husband were afraid to drive to

At least three Russian commanders have been killed after they felt they had to move closer to the front lines, western officials say.

They say the Deputy Commander of the 41st Combined Arms Army was killed by sniper fire. A divisional commander and a regimental commander have also been killed.

Russian commanders have been moving further forward to get more control and more impetus behind operations which have, in some cases, badly stalled.

Those commanders are trying to impose their own personality on the battlefield but this in turn is placing them at greater risk, it is believed.

Russian President Vladimir Putin has signed a bill introducing a prison sentence of up to 15 years for spreading information that goes against the Russian government’s position on the war in Ukraine.

The bill criminalizing the intentional spreading of what Russia deems to be “fake” reports about the war was quickly rubber-stamped by both houses of the Kremlin-controlled parliament earlier Friday.

Russian authorities have repeatedly decried reports of Russian military setbacks or civilian deaths in Ukraine as “fake” reports. State media outlets refer to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine as a “special military operation” rather than a “war” or “invasion.”

The law envisages sentences of up to three years or fines for spreading what authorities deem to be false news about the military, but the maximum punishment rises to 15 years for cases deemed to have led to “severe consequences.”

Also Friday, the state communications watchdog, Roskomnadzor, blocked Facebook and five foreign media organizations based abroad which publish news in Russian in a sweeping action to establish tight control over information about the Russian invasion of Ukraine.

CNN and Bloomberg News will temporarily suspend their work in Russia.

It comes after President Vladimir Putin signed legislation that imposes prison terms of up to 15 years on people charged with spreading “fake news” about the war in Ukraine.

“The change to the criminal code, which seems designed to turn any independent reporter into a criminal purely by association, makes it impossible to continue any semblance of normal journalism inside the country,” said Bloomberg Editor-in-Chief John Micklethwait.

A spokesperson for CNN said it would stop broadcasting in Russia "while we continue to evaluate the situation and our next steps moving forward".

The BBC suspended its own operations within the country earlier on Friday.

Several websites - including BBC Russian - are no longer accessible within the country. Nor are Facebook, Twitter and YouTube.

CNN is showing footage for sky news journalists being ambushed by the Russians. Their body armour saved them. Very lucky to be alive

[UserSince2005]

Horrific footage. And proof Russian death squads are operating in ukraine with the goal to terrorise civilians

It's looking like genocide now there are more and more reports of soldiers randomly killing fleeing families.

Edit:
That said this is the latest..
Partial ceasefire due to start in 30 minutes

More detail has emerged on the*partial ceasefire in the Ukrainian city of Mariupol*this morning. The measure will allow civilians to leave the city during a five-hour period from Saturday morning. From Reuters, citing Russia’s RIA news agency:

Civilians will be allowed to leave Mariupol between noon and 5 p.m. Moscow time (0900 - 1400 GMT), Russia’s RIA news agency quoted city authorities as saying. This is*11am to 4pm local time.Russia said earlier on Saturday its troops, which have encircled the Azov Sea port city in Ukraine’s south, would stop firing and allow civilians to pass. Russia also plans a partial ceasefire to allow a humanitarian corridor out of Volnovakha.Civilians will be able to proceed towards the city of Zaporizhzhia and will be able to use specially arranged bus routes or their own cars, the city council said.

Saturday’s evacuation will be the first of several stages, the city council said. “Given that our hometown is constantly under ruthless fire from the occupiers, there is no other solution,” the statement quoted Mayor Vadym Boychenko as saying.
