Russian Invasion of Ukraine (2022): Thread 1 - Ukrainian Liars vs Russian Liars with Air and Artillery Superiority

[No Batty Boys in Jamaica]

But again, the problem would be Russian leaders (especially financial) would have to show humility, and bend themselves to the system and ethos that surround blockchain and not try to mold it to their own whims.

Spoiler alert: they mold it to their whims. Russian financial leaders showing humility would be like a river flowing up a mountain, or the sun rising from the west and setting in the east. Not going to happen.

>Lets be honest if there ever was a good reason or time to join a war as a free person (with any military background) it is now.
The combination of Jarhead+RedditBugman is truly terrifying.
Its like these people are subconsciously aware of how shit their life as a cooomsumer is and dont really care about throwing it away in a war just for upvotes because of it.
They subconsciously know all of their heroes and battles are fake so they jump at the first opportunity to have any real way to prove themselves.

Can we make this a social-media trend ? We just need to make them "tag" others to also volunteer and soon there wont be any NPCs left in the western world.

That's just what jünger wrote in storm of steel of young men who have grown up in an era of safety yearning for danger and the extraordinary,

I would totally support Generation Funkopop signing on by the plane load for Ukraine. If just 10% come back as far right nationalist men with Slavic wives making babies it might course correct the West.

Before the end of 2022, there's bound to be a few Redditors (maybe more than a few) who are going to travel to the Ukraine and won't be coming back alive

That is all for the good. That might be the only positive thing to come out of this stupid war.

Russia is gaining ground but probably not doing it as fast as they like. Ukraine is taking casualties but their propaganda would tell you otherwise. More companies, services and governments are making Russia into an international pariah. Even if Russia is victorious it will be a Pyrrhic one at best in my opinion. The full intentions of Putin are still not known.

It's not hard to guess. Putin's intention is to use scare tactics, hoping the opposition will surrender asap when they see the tanks, as it has always worked in his own country. He also believes that he has Nato tied up since they are on his gas. It's essentially the bullies "I'll beat you up if you tell your parents". Their logic is always driven by ego.

Unfortunately, he didn't expect an entire country to fight it out, which means it's not fast and easy. And he also didn't realize that globally, everyone hates that, and that Nato is willing to sanction almost everything else, including SWIFT(hopefully).

Then what do you expect him to do, retreat due to rising costs? Nah, ego, war must go on. Retreat and ask for all the sanctions to be reverted? Nah, ego, war must go on.

Now the best thing he can get is totally destroying Ukraine, and claim victory even at the cost of everything else. Anything short of that is a total humiliation for him.

So...are we going to see our first non-Ukranian redditors killed by Russians before the end of this week?

Hopefully. It'd be nice to have some good news come out of this situation for once, that's for sure.

 

[Keystone]

Reddit is going to get decimated by this war if there is a just God.

Can't get decimated by war if you just post on >reddit in lieu of actually going to the battlefield

ngl, if i was a bit younger i would do this. but i got out for a reason and i don’t wanna leave what i’ve built behind in the states.

 

[LUNEKO]

Seeing how Ukraine is still holding against Russia and how the west keeps dumping Javalins like they are skittles i have to wonder, do modern anti-armor rockets just completely outdate tank warfare?
Assuming both countries are capable of producing them like they are fucking candy i see no use in making a big billion dollar metal slug that's just gonna get blown to pieces by a rookie fresh out of training with a rocket in his pocket

Iirc, there were a bunch of reddit commies that went to Syria and fought with the Rojava. A fair amount of them were turned away or had unfortunate accidents because they were useless dickbag commies. But it was a thing.

The mental state of Reddit has degraded a good bit since then and they are completely detached from reality so them trying the same thing again should be a hoot.

It’s totally amazing to me that anyone can look at Trump and see some sort of principled maverick who champions the interests of the common man. Trump supporters are a little bit like the mentally ill — it’s not a reflection of bad character, but there’s also absolutely no point attempting to reason them out of their delusions. You might as well try talking a guy out of believing that he’s Napoleon.

Those suffering from TDS fail to understand human nature, which can be likened to a game in which participants optimize their gains in a non-cooperative environment while minimizing their losses; thus, they cannot grasp that choosing a leader that will ensure their (and their families) survival is the best choice as they are susceptible to fear and emotional manipulation.

Or, they'll become entitled, insufferable smugfucks demanding to be thanked for their cervix.

 

[Walrus and Carpenter]

Haha yeah, wouldn’t it be crazy if one of the parties tried to obstruct an election just because they didn’t like the result

Like the presidential election in 2016, recounts, faithless electors?

He did a better job than Biden on the economy and foreign policy. Hell, he did a better job than Obama. But yes please keep "othering" Trump supporters. I'm sure that bodes well for your favorite candidates in the current economic/foreign policy quagmire. Voters love being told they're idiots or bad people.

Dudes who hate their jobs and failing marriages so much they'd rather dodge bullets again and neckbeards, NAMBLA-tier freaks and bugmen who think this is the IRL Battle of Hogwarts/Wakanda/Crait/Equestria. Marvelous...

 

[Simpadoo]

A much more realistic number but probably still too high would be 350 Russian soldiers killed (and 1000-2000 Ukrainian soldiers killed)

Lol. They can’t even get their logistical support correct and you think they have that kind of kill ratio? Ludicrous.

Yeah quite a few died, maybe not all redditors but dickbag western commies anyway. I wonder whether they died at a higher rate than the locals

Active Protection Systems can try to stop a rocket from turning the crew into a paste inside the tank, but it looks like Russia might not have many on their tanks, and are resorting to using the Cuck Cage for the majority on them.
