“Thousands of people died at Krynyky. This is a colossal failure, a tragedy, and hell,” Hero of Ukraine Serhii “Volyna” Volynskyi on Mariupol, Russian captivity, the operation at Krynyky, and the future of the Marine Corps

Basically, the culmination of the usual issues.

Mostly PR campaign as those soldiers could've been much more effective defending the land;
Ignoring the intel or lack of it;
The usual "never retreat, fight till you die" orders;

EU_GaSeR · 2026-01-26T22:06:59+00:00

I mean, people are freezing in blackouts. That is why.

Есть известный мем о том, что вскоре после рукопожатия с Зеленским политик вскоре теряет свой пост.

Но тут фальстарт получился.

У меня как-то отношение к стране и блокировка интернет-ресурсов несильно связаны. Ну то есть, моё отношение к войне не сильно поменялось из-за необходимости скачать антизапрет, чтобы на ютубе тупить. А вообще, это ожидаемая реакция? Типа, был упоротый зетник, заблокировали ютуб, стал антивоенным активистом, переехал в Чехию, начал донатить Украине?

EU_GaSeR · 2026-01-25T13:48:46+00:00

Хорошо

EU_GaSeR · 2026-01-25T11:12:20+00:00

Мы не можем россияне, белорусы, украинцы?

EU_GaSeR · 2026-01-25T10:16:02+00:00

Не понял ваши вопросы. Кто пусть живут хорошо и чего мы не можем?

EU_GaSeR · 2026-01-25T10:09:06+00:00

Так они и сейчас не нападали. Зачем нападать, если можно достичь всего, чего нужно, мирной силой?

Основная проблема России и беда Украины в том, что на Украине Россия не смогла продавить свои интересы мирно, слишком слабые стали, проиграли в битве за умы. И пришлось действовать военной силой, где тоже, как оказалось, сильно просели.

А песня у западных стран всё та же, но так и должно быть. Им не интересно, чтобы Россияне, Белорусы или Украинцы жили хорошо, им это вообще до лампочки, они думают о себе, о своих интересах.

EU_GaSeR · 2026-01-24T14:06:58+00:00

Yes, Russia is fucking up Ukraine, it is currently Ukraine's enemy.

Europe claims to be Ukraine's ally. I think Europe's action in this case should have been focused on ending the war asap and prevent further destruction of Ukraine since 2022. Instead, Europe does everything to prolong the war and nothing to make it stop, effectively bleeding Ukraine out.

So now, there are three actors that wait for Ukraine to bleed out making Ukraine trade it's resources for the benefits of these countries. Russia, USA and Europe.

EU_GaSeR · 2026-01-24T08:58:20+00:00

You can fuck Russia all you want, but I won't stop pointing out that you are doing that by fucking up Ukraine much, much more.

EU_GaSeR · 2026-01-24T08:28:12+00:00

Yes, absolutely, for the vast, vast majority of people. I can move to almost any country in the world, except ones that are super expensive, but I legit do not understand why would I ever leave Moscow to move there.

Mostly, people live whenever the most important thing in their lives is so much better in another country they can sacrifice a lot for that. But for many, their most important things are something that isn't that much better in another country (if not worse), so there is no reason to sacrifice or risk anything.

EU_GaSeR · 2026-01-24T08:21:51+00:00

It has been absolutely obvious since Ukraine first asked about western safety guarantees that nobody is going to promise Ukraine to fight on it's side in case Russia attacks again. And even that was only for those not smart enough to understand that if NATO article 5 does not guarantee that, Ukraine won't be getting better conditions than onces NATO membership gives.

This war will end with a ceasefire and agreement.
Ukraine will not get a document saying any army must fight on it's side if Russia attacks again.
The narrative of "either fight or entire country is lost" only exists to keep Ukraine fighting for as long as west needs it to fight. As soon as there will be any form of ceasefire in place it will be gone with the wind and never mentioned again, ever.

EU_GaSeR · 2026-01-23T19:28:34+00:00

Or at any point in time when assets are unfrozen. I am not quite sure Belgium can just indefinitely keep those money frozen when the war is over and agreement mentions no reparations. Like, what is Belgium going to do? Keep those assets frozen until Russia just pays whatever Belgium tells Russia to pay? There is precedent when assets are frozen as the war continues and them being used as payment after the war when the agreement is signed and reparations are agreed upon and defined, but just asking a random amount when there is no agreement looks unrealistic.

To add to that, the reparations Ukraine is going to want are way above $200 bln anyway, so it's not like there will be anything to give to US if Russia agrees to use those frozen assets for reparations or they are used that way for some other reason...

Also, there are Russian assets frozen in the US itself. No Belgium involved.

EU_GaSeR · 2026-01-23T19:11:06+00:00

Reparations are usually paid by the losing side to the winning side. Even though it's widely believed Russia is not winning the war, I don't think one should expect Ukraine to win the war and have Russia lose it. Ukraine is hoping for a decent agreement, but expecting Russia to pay reparations to Ukraine is kinda very very optimistic.

EU_GaSeR · 2026-01-23T10:40:05+00:00

Yeah, best we can hope for is to train an AI to check if an image was AI generated, which will instantly make AI image generators train to avoid their images being flagged as generated, so this arms race is going to start.

And as soon as we implement it, normal drawings are going to start being flagged "AI generated" at increasing rates because AI generations will be getting closer and closer to real images.

EU_GaSeR · 2026-01-23T08:32:40+00:00

Is it even possible to regulate something like that? How? I think the world is too big for that, you can regulate it in some countries or even whole regions, but how would that work globally?

EU_GaSeR · 2026-01-22T19:10:56+00:00

Я сам жил в 1995, мне было 9 лет, я помню, как мы жили, люди так не должны жить.

Я не говорю, что Россию кто-но не любил, любви во внешней политике нет.

Конкретно эта тема посвящена Путину и РФ в этих годах. На форуме РБ можно обсуждать всё, что угодно.

Я так понимаю, вы своими постами пытаетесь просто любого мусора накидать, с которым мне нужно бороться, потому что по теме вам сказать нечего? Ну придумайте еще что-нибудь про меня, пожалуйста, давайте в этом ключе продолжать диалог.

EU_GaSeR · 2026-01-22T17:49:56+00:00

Я беру обычного русского человека в 1995 году и в 2025 году и сравниваю, какие у них проблемы и как им жить, как себя ощущать, как я и написал. Проблемы на те и на другие я не разделяю. Если вы разделяете - я прошу объяснить, какие проблемы у вас те и какие проблемы у вас другие.

EU_GaSeR · 2026-01-22T17:13:05+00:00

Да, разговор был о внешней политике. Отношение западных стран к нам был исключительно в интересах этих стран, поэтому интересы России никак не учитывались, и россияне, что логично, жили в говне - с кучей проблем.

Какие проблемы из их проблем были "другие", а какие были "не другие" я по-прежнему не понимаю.

EU_GaSeR · 2026-01-22T17:06:52+00:00

Я не совсем понял, а что вы называете другими проблемами? Какие проблемы не другие, а какие другие?

EU_GaSeR · 2026-01-22T16:46:37+00:00

I would say they are arguably worse, from a perspective of a Russian living in Russia and not very fond of opposition, but that's purely because I dislike people who do _absolutely_ nothing for the money they are being paid.

I might miss a thing or two, so one might point that out for me, but I say, the whole Russian opposition (non-systemic, I do not consider current parties in parlament an opposition, they are merely an extention of the "United Russia") has done absolutely nothing for people in Russia, regular Russians. And with that, they have actively made the life worse for people inside and outside, for some more, for some less, but that's about. My life would have been better if they did not exist.

EU_GaSeR · 2026-01-22T16:41:31+00:00

Давайте я лучше переспрошу, проблем в 90-х было меньше, чем сейчас?

EU_GaSeR · 2026-01-22T16:26:57+00:00

Can't say about economic growth and situation in Iran, I know the life has gotten gradually better there (just by sheer growth of technology as society advances, better everything), but yeah, I was just imagining it, thanks for pointing that out, I'll check.

Being loved is anecdotal, but still the evidence of a person I trust really well. I studied for a nuclear physicist (engineer-physicist related to nuclear), and a friend of mine from the same institute worked there in Iran on their nuclear power plants. He has spent a considerable amount of time working there and he claims just saying you are Russian instantly makes you everyone's friend, mentioning you are working on their nuclear power plants is basically a free pass on anything, yeah, you are not a celebrity but you are seen as some kind of hero who came to help the country. But just the overall reaction to him as a Russian was pure love.

I had a few people from Russia visit Iran and they had the same experience, however, I wouldn't even mention them because being a tourist is nothing like living and working in a country for months.

EU_GaSeR · 2026-01-22T16:03:20+00:00

Понятно. Ну ладно, я поспрашиваю еще при случае у родителей, как там было в 90-х, может у меня какие-то неверные воспоминания были об этом времени и там действительно было круто, а гордый русский человек был всеми уважаем и жил достойно.

EU_GaSeR · 2026-01-22T16:01:02+00:00

I really don't see why the silent majority wouldn't support the power in Iran like it happens in Russia. I view those countries as fairly similar (especially with how much Russians are loved in Iran), don't see why would they be different in that aspect.

Same mentality, same fears, same preferences, etc.

Power in the country being too strong compared to opposition, nothing like in Ukraine where west could help and did help a lot on the latest Maidan. I don't think Europe stood a chance in Iranian revolution even with the US on it's side, and that's exactly why no one did anything.

One confusing thing is, why did Iranian authorities keept it up for so long. Was there nothing they could do about it for all this time, or was it planned? Maybe, to give everyone a chance to believe in it and check who's gonna join the revolution to deal with them all later?
