Then fucking do something against it! How long will the west and the NATO tolerate the murders, the espionage, the sabotage done by Russia inside our borders? Step up against Putin, show some dignity and start drawing some red lines and enforce them if they are crossed.
The NATO could start by showing a stronger support for their allies who are supporting Ukraine with equipment and aid. As a german it is painful to watch that we are always hiding behind the fear of beeing declared a "war party" by those fucks in the Kreml. If NATO would declare that they back up all those supporters for Ukraine and that every action against those supporters by Russia would result in Article 5 we wouldn't have these issues and could provide Ukraine with everything they need...
But instead we are leaving the Russians free hand in their actions and are wondering why that degenerate Putin is not backing up...
you actually get a coop pve mode right from the get go without any additional costs and you don't support russian war efforts with buying Gray Zone. So good game so far for me
My comment about sacrificing of Ukraine was just based on time delay, if Ukraine could hold out and wait that long for the other countries to get their act together, or not.
I actually don't get where you think I would delay anything. I'm for a operation against Russia and more weapons and supplies for Ukraine right now, better yesterday. Hell, we should have established a NATO enforced no-fly zone right after the first missle pieces crossed the border of poland.
Finally, if we do as you state, is that sacrificing Ukraine in the process?
No, absolutely not. I'm son of an ukranian father, I want a united west against Putin and if I'm honest with you I think NATO should intervene like they did back in '99 in Kosovo.
I was deployed in Kosovo in 2007 and the people of Kosovo really appreciated the intervention of NATO, thanked us as soldiers after all these years and I think we have the same situation in Ukraine right now. Russia is commiting a genocide at the People of Ukraine. Russia must be stopped in their degenerated agenda of a new Russian Reich and I also think that a military operation on Ukrainian soil against russian forces would not lead to any stupid decisions by Putin. We "just" need to push them out of the country or at least create a no-fly zone and enforce this with NATO troops.
Well, nothing stops someone from doing that today, except for MUD, which would exist even if Russia finished off Ukraine. NATOās āline in the sandā is behind Ukraine, and not in front of it.
Of course but they can get all the countries that are not part of NATO, wait a few years and then come back with full strength, new ressources, new alliances and then we can ask ourselfs if there was not a place in time we could have prevented this...
Also I don't like the current course of the NATO that much. I'm all in for deescalation but at some point and after all the threats from Russia I really wish the NATO would step up and say, we don't want any encounters with Russia but if they choose to declare one of our allies as "war party" because of their support to Ukraine, we are behind and will defend them. I think this also would give some countries more confidence in supporting Ukraine with better weapons and supplies and show Russia that we mean business.
The cynic in me keeps thinking that itās actually in the USā best interest if Ukraine and Russia stop fighting, even if it leaves things in a way where Russia gets away with doing bad things, versus empowering Ukraine to keep fighting until they completely push Russia out of their territory, but in the process maybe sparking World War 3.
The cynic in you seems not to see the bigger picture. If Russia suceed with this, they also proove they can get along with it. Start a war, wave with your ICBM's and threat everyone with nuclear warfare, rinse and repeat. And let us not forget the precedent it creates, that other dipshits countries can follow. They must be stopped right now, otherwise you are just postponing WW3, because Russia will not stop with their degenerated agenda.
They moved their office to London (wonder why...) but part of the team still works from their origin in Russian St. Petersburg. And here is what I've found:
And this happened more than once, so that is a long-term partnership. Buyanov recorded joint videos with Dmitry āGoblinā Puchkov, a Russian translator and blogger known for his anti-Ukrainian stance. And Puchkov himself was a guest at the Battlestate Games studio.
Nikita Buyanov and his company actively partnered with companies in the Russian military-industrial complex. This group actively funds and supplies separatists, they ask for donations to supply their members who are going to fight in Ukraine, they participate in podcasts from occupied cities and Tarkov's developers prop up their platform by including them (in no small capacity) in their game.
One of the new traders they are planning to add into the game is named "Khokhol" which is an anti-Ukrainian ethnic slur used by russians. There is also a feature in the game where you can become a character called a "Scav" when you become one you are assigned a random russian name, sometimes they are memes like "garandthumb" or "robokop" but in their depravity, there is a chance that your character can be named "Hohol" which you see when you die, or other players see when you kill them.
The developers of Escape from Tarkov, the Russian studio Battlestate Games, have published several new screenshots of the game. As Artem Lys noticed, on one of them the character shows the middle finger to the player in pixel uniform and with yellow tape on his hand, which clearly symbolizes the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
They are a Russian Developer with contacts to military units who support the war in Ukraine and also mocked Ukrainian with screenshots in their game...so why expect you no shitty behavior from them?
