You use scorched earth to deny the enemy resources on territory you're leaving, r*ssia uses scorched earth to deny themselves of resources on territory they're invading

I fricking hate nu-/k/ so much it's unreal.
I hope that this war ends in an nuclear exchange purely out of spite.
Colt Pocket revolver of some kind. I had some ancestors who fought for the Union during the Civil War. Officers fricking loved Colt Pockets. Those and Smith & Wessons were crazy popular as pocket pieces during the war. My patrilineal ancestor that was a Union cavalry officer carried a Colt Pocket and a S&W No.2 Army alongside the Burnside carbine he was initially issued, later replaced by a Henry that he purchased with his own funds. Those plus the cavalry saber and the two Colt 1860 Army pistols his troop was issued made him into a killing machine.
But reading his journal, you'd think he won the war with just his Colt Pocket and No.2.
russia's killing tens of thousands of people because... it's scared america and ukraine will trade exports? and you think this is reasonable? sort your priorities out
Unironically yes. Economic co-dependence is how you ally yourself with nations.

Sarcasm aside, the context of which Ukraine and Gerogia wants to join NATO is vastly different than those examples.
so has russia got a problem with peaceful coexistence and cooperation now or something? seemed to be all for it in the 90s and 00s.
It's peaceful co-existence backed by force within its sphere of influence.

Russians simply want to test the separatist nations if they are strong enough to survive on their own. In wild nature it's a common thing and it's proven to work.

>because
Russia is very economically unbalanced and fears that western corporations were about to steal "their" lunch
>ussia is based for causing a global food shortage so hopefully africans will flood Europe and replace all white people
it's funny because they actually believe this
this war has broke them
Good, then maybe the Dutch can embrace their destiny and take Africa, kick the Chinese out, and everyone worth a damn can find a new life in the new-new-new world.
I'd probably think this was a good strategy till I want to sit down for dinner. >but anon I shove that weird corn product in your food that you have to eat if your arthritis could open these packets fast enough instead of just using them to warm up your hands instead of the food.
Only if you're going to go in the retreat and want to deny your enemy of local resources. Scorched earth seems like something Ukraine would do, not Russia.
>Russian war in Ukraine is going to cause a global food shortage. >Nobody is willing to intervene militarily unless Russia uses nukes. >War isn't going great for Russia. >Russia: picrel.
It just happens. Iraq is full of fields like that in the north and I've seen countless fields burning, once they're on fire it's almost impossible to extinguish without proper heavy firefighter equipment. Meanwhile, a single tracer can light up a field.
Yes. If by destroying Ukrainian grain and preventing shipments they can cause famine and migration in Africa and the Middle East they can put enormous pressure on the EU.
They will also do the classic Russian thing where they cause the problem and then offer a solution benefical to them so they can blame the other side for not accepting it
>If by destroying Ukrainian grain and preventing shipments they can cause famine and migration in Africa and the Middle East they can put enormous pressure on the EU.
And the EU will totally give in to the pressure and will say "pls Russia, give the grain to poor Mokebe and Ahmad, we totally have no idea what to do with all those people on our borders."
just judging by behaviour of most member states, who have sky-high immigration rates and didn't give a shit about stopping the "refugee" crisis. obviously some eastern european countries were exceptions to this general rule.
There's no EU policy whatsover that would openly support importing thirdworlders. The only exception has been made for Ukrainians, who are white. That some governments in Southern Europe cave in to pressure from business that demands cheap workers is not my problem.

Well, there is that one which says that EU countries should obey UN laws and refugee law is one of those.
Sucks really that the dumb fricks did not think that shitty UN law through when they made it, and now it is impossible to change.
Each country in the world at least nominally follows the UN charter.
Waiting for you to show me the exact document which says "in [year] we must import 10 billion Arabs because we hate white people".

Sure, but due it being included in EU laws, there is an separate enforcement to make country follow UN laws instead of completely ignoring it like the rest of the world.
It is honestly a fricking stupid problem that is difficult to fix due all the legalism, interests, politics, and bureocracy involved.
But yeah, EU does not have actual Policy to encourage shitton on immigration to EU, in fact it is actively trying to control and limit immigration(for example doing technically illegal deals with Turks and north african countries) while at the same time having problem originating from the shitty law that can't be changed, but must be enforced because without laws EU cannot function.

burning your own fields so foreign aid gets increased? no need to process grain if you get free MRES. sounds good to them
Sometimes you just gotta light a MFer just to see.

Looks like a wheat field on fire. It happens.
russians burned ukraine wheatfields
This is "Nazi Germany destroying everything in France post Paris Liberation" tier
Why is that Serb riding an Ukrainian?
only since Mankind figured out you could set shit on fire deliberately
if youre waging war on the nogs who depend on that wheat, sure
>strategy
It's dry season and weapons are hot. Nobody here has any choice in the matter.
I mean, I've seen fields burn from shelling all the fricking time in this war. What's the big fricking deal?
you don't understand /k/oper, ussia is based for causing a global food shortage so hopefully africans will flood Europe and replace all white people
America is the reason why this is happening, everything else is a reaction.
so true, enough with the russophobia what about America?
I'm not fricking kidding, anon.
neither am i, in America they lynch Black folks
you're literally so stupid you think america is the only nation-state with agency lmao
I'm not so stupid and blind that I cannot understand that America as a nation-state has the MOST agency in the entire fricking world.
didn't know putin's a US puppet
Putin is acting via reaction against America's interest in expanding their interest towards eastern Europe.

I'd be surprised if they weren't looking for a solution to this already. Everyone can see where this is going a mile away
