Thanks! It makes sense to have an own thread, but it will be hard to keep the other politics threads free of this topic of global implications.

I am hoping this thread will be rather short, but I fear the worst.

Tomorrow is going to be an absolute bloodbath on the Russian markets. I am fully expecting the ruble to drop at least 50% unless something drastic happens for Russia to agree to leave Ukraine, which has such a little chance of happening

"The Ukrainian question"... It is like attempt to get in historybooks as the most foul regime IF this stuff is real. And preplanned war explained...

And this is the part where I don't believe it to be real. It simply doesn't fit the Russian narrative of denazification, drug addicts, CIA backed Maidan as a minority opinion.

You can safely assume that if Russia would have won this quickly, you would have read about liberation, some new fake representatives welcoming Putin, how they removed thugs etc...

So even if this actually was at those news sites, (which is hard to proof...) given the fact that anonymous (and whoever is using this label as a cover...) is doing a really bang up job taking over or down nearly every Russian web page to ever have existed, I wouldn't pay too much attention to it.

Thats like when supposedly TASS published the exact same numbers as the Ukrainian MoD but sourcing the Russian MoD.... This was like the laziest fake of all time. Even in a war where everyone was perfectly honest (ask your history teacher when this happened the last time...) you would never get to the same numbers from both sides.

Belarus has announced their official entry into the war, will probably open up another front to the west of the current Kiev front. Maybe targeting Lutsk into Lviv?
From what I've seen Russia has not yet used any of their drones and more indiscriminate artillery, so from a purely warfare perspective they still have a bunch of options left. Doesn't mean that this wasn't an objectively bad day for them, because it certainly was.

The fact that they don't use indiscriminate artillery implies that Putin isn't completely irrational as some would like to point out. Therefore, I don't believe in his latest nuclear weapon bluff for that same reason. However, it does serve as "watch out".

In either case, one of the most amazing stories today for me is that Russian state media is banned in the EU. I've been getting increasingly annoyed at RT (Russia Today) propaganda and also their videos on YouTube when they come up randomly. Thank god for that.

Hopefully we won't have to enter this thread frequently and it'll become useless very soon, as I'm hoping for the mess to end relatively soon. I also dream about rebuilding/repairing Ukraine for the better and helping to build a proper democratic Russia as their citizens deserves better and they do have smart capable people

Have they? I've been seeing some noise about this but none of it seems believable. Zelensky talked with Lukashenko earlier and and the conclusion of those talks is that a Ukrainian and Russian delegation is to hold talks in the morning on the Belarus border. Also, not even Russia is officially in a war.

Supposedly the EU is also sending fighter planes as part of the new support package and I'm really wondering which planes that could be. Since it would require planes Ukraine is familiar with, I would probably guess they are talking about Polish Mig-29.
With new F35 being on the way, they would probably be available.

Oh, and I would really love to know how those values in those decisions are computed for outdated equipment (which, be honest, is most of the equipment sent...). E.g. those Polish Mig-29 were gifted by Germany (they were former GDR planes) So value = 0, add them as a tip! Or do they look at the most recent sale on Ebay?
Obviously, it is much easier for stuff like Stingers or rifles..

Those planes in particular aren't state of the art, but they are still used by even Russia. With modern upgrades they're pretty good.

It's a hand-me-down, essentially.
The winds of history will sooner or later sweep the European Union away without mercy.

In a way it is similar to the freeze the west applied to Russian values in the west. But with a wider radius, as Western freezes still had some targeting.

Now besides the freeze, the main consequence, even if the freeze is cancelled at some point is the loss of trust. And yes, that works both ways, its just that the western financial markets can do without some oligarchs money because he is feared of it getting frozen, while the Russian financial markets are in trouble without western money, e.g. Norways investment fonds, because they now know they can get frozen at will.

And this loss in trust alone of course will cause shock waves, because even if you we a firm Russian believer, you do not want to be in the market whenever those funds would become unfrozen. (And if you expect everything become even worse, like confiscation and shit you don't wanna be in the market either...)

Interesting article about the motivations of Putin. Talks about how Putin underestimated Zelenskiy and thought he would flee in a repeat of Afghanistan. This would have allowed the Russians to take over with their own puppet dictator.

https://www.politico.eu/article/ukraine-war-russia-vladimir-putin-miscalculation/

No country can prevail as an occupying force so if this is all true we can hopefully see Putin executing his exit strategy.

Probably not super helpful to send Ukraine jets they don't know how to fly and have no infrastructure to support. Makes more sense to send them more of what they already know how to use.

Lots of extremely knowledgeable people are sounding the alarm. Monday for all of us might be one of the most consequential days in human history depending on how Putun and the Russian citizens react to their economy collapsing
