EU officials in a couple of years if they win: "We didn't let you into the EU to be homophobic, islamophobic, transphobic, racist, nationalist little shits."
One thing I just realized when thinking about the Reddit Warriors is how do they plan on communicating? Apparently from the numbers I could find only 18% of the Ukranian population can speak English and how many of them can actually speak it well? Who knows. How do these retards expect to be part of a military unit when there's a strong chance they can't even communicate with the other soldiers? Or do they think they will just be able to go rogue and solo like this is fucking Call of Duty.
They've put together foreign volunteer units so they won't be mixed in with the actually trained soldiers, just armed and pointed in the direction of the Russians. Who even knows of they'll have a working command structure with an NCO or if they'll just be told to work it out.
The theory is much like arming their civilians this is another way to try and drag someone else in on their side. Put together a unit of westerners, send them on some suicide run then use it as propaganda about how the Russians are killing their people too.
You don't need to speak the local language to get a shovel put in your hand and then you're pointed to the half dug anti tank ditch
Or to get a rifle put in your hand and then you're pointed in the direction that you and the rest of operation leddit meat shield - wait I mean operation leddit cannon fodder wait I mean operation this is just like when the Avengers saved that city in age of ultron - is to advance
If I were some Ukrainian colonel I'd put any ledditors right into the 2022 version of a penal battalion and send em in wherever the fire needed smothered by a pile of bodies the most, a fine Slavic tradition
I was hoping they'd get attached to one of the neo-nazi battalions and they'd start going "ISN'T THIS SO AWESOME!! WE'RE BASHING THE FASH!! FUCK THE NAZIS" and then get shot by the own side before they ever see a battle.

on contrary, there is overwhelming public support and anger for this. That's the main fail that western arm chair generals don't understand. No one is forcing anyone, there are plenty of ways to run away to avoid conflict. No one is holding anyone at gun point to fight.
Russian troops on the other hand, most don't know where they are headed to and have no reason to fight.
During WWII, there was a whole book written by a Soviet surgeon on how to recognize self inflicted wounds and simulate illnesses to avoid going to the front lines. Some of it was so fucking exotic, like using various plants, one would think a phd in chem would think invent it.
The main motivation for Russian troops was that they had overwhelming superiority in numbers and because hohols are dumb peasants, so it's gonna be slaughter. When they are passing burned out shells of tanks it makes you think if really need this.
Surrendering in Ukraine is pretty easy, the hardest part is not get shot by an officer. "Pogons" - shoulder pads, is basically how Russian army soldiers and ncos view their officers, there is no bonding you'll see in the western militaries.

Come on man, don't be such a downer! After all, the Wakandans didn't speak the same cisgendered imperialist language as the Nova corps, but they still came together in the Avengers Endgame to stop Thanos!
those official exchange rates, no idea what they are at ATMs because they run out of foreign currency. You can always buy dollars on black market and actually you get better rates and know the guy doing it (there are some licensing bullshit)
anyways, the blackmarket dollar rate in St. Pete's is anywhere 350-500 rubles for a dollar now.
Okay, the video is translated to russian, but I will explain what he says - four chinamen were trapped in Kyiv, because who needs to evacuate civilians, right? He, other guy and two girls went to buy some food and stumbled on two armed civilian fucktards on the street. All of a sudden they began firing their weapons in the air and people on the street started running away. He and two girls ran in one direction ran in one direction, their friend in the other. Some time later armed fucktards caught up and pointed their guns at them. They asked them "are you russians?" and he was barely able to reply "I am chinese", so after checking their belongings they let them go. Some time later they met their friend and he told them that armed fucktards put him on the ground and checked his stuff and eventually let him go. In the end he calls this situation "total chaos".
What would be quite ironic, when the majority of krauts will learn about the likes of azov batallion shit will hit a fan pretty quickly, and kyke ovens will be open once again.
A funny story in which a French media accidentally found Ukraine's police cameras. Quick translation below:
Reflets accidentally invites itself into Ukrainian police cars The CCTV cameras were not protected
In search of cameras accessible via the Internet to follow the conflict, Reflets found itself in the cars of the Kyiv police, with sound and image in real time. The risks posed by these misconfigurations prompted us to warn the authorities. Within four hours, the feeds were cut off.
It all starts with Reflets' work on Ukrainian CCTV cameras. Can we document the war through these cameras? Are they sufficiently protected? Could a possible vulnerability or a bad configuration allow a third country to accumulate intelligence?
A systematic collection of the cameras available in the country started on 27 February 2022. Testing all 55,007 pieces of equipment that can be reached via the Internet and geolocating them took a small team of three people 48 hours.
Without much originality, and as in most countries, at least 5% of them are accessible using default usernames and passwords. These credentials must be changed at installation, but installers do not always worry about this. You can read our previous article on this subject here.
It is while carrying out these checks that we are surprised to access a particular video stream: that of a camera located in a moving car. Kyiv's avenues, bridges and military checkpoints follow one another despite the curfew, and no sooner do we realise what's going on than a second camera falls into our net. This time, the driver and the passenger are visible in the picture:
The address of the third camera discovered seems to indicate that all the equipment is connected to one and the same network. A thorough analysis finally allows us to access more than thirty police vehicles in the city.
Views from inside the cars, views from outside, radio messages, telephone conversations, everything is freely available to anyone who takes the time to look. Law enforcement movements, location of military equipment and other sensitive information could fall into the wrong hands.
On the way, a roadblock
The policemen are often equipped with bulletproof vests but the atmosphere is still quite relaxed. In one of the cars, the policemen pass the time by watching a badly dubbed series while wolfing down chips and peanuts.
During the Syrian revolution, Reflets participated in an operation with Telecomix, aiming at diverting Syrians' Internet traffic to pages explaining the dangers of Bashar el-Assad's state surveillance. This time, we felt it was important to warn the Ukrainian authorities about the risks for the Kyiv police and for the defence of the capital. If we could follow the movements of police cars, the location of checkpoints, police conversations and radio exchanges live, so could Russian intelligence. What to make of our discovery?
We therefore decided to send an emissary to the Ukrainian embassy in Paris on Tuesday with a document summarising our findings. In front of the building, bouquets of flowers in the colours of Ukraine, an icon of the Virgin and candles. Young men are waiting, eager to join the legion of foreign volunteers decided by the Ukrainian president.
An employee approaches our correspondent on the pavement. The latter explains that he has important information to pass on. After a brief hesitation, the guard rushes into the embassy. He returns and asks to wait. A few minutes later, a man in a suit arrives, but he does not introduce himself. After reading the document explaining the problem, and seeing the screenshots from the cameras, he exclaims: "But this is very important. I have to tell Kyiv immediately, it's incredible. How did you see that, what is Reflets? After some explanations about info-hacking, he says "really, thank you, thank you. I'll pass it on immediately" and disappears into the building at a run.
And 3 hours and 40 minutes later, the cameras cut out one by one. Some are removed, others now have a real password... This story reveals in passing that the chain of command works very well. Three hours and forty minutes between the alert at the Paris embassy and the action of the IT department of the Kyiv police, in the middle of a war and under the bombs, well done!
I was about to send this message when I realised that they published an English version themselves. Too lazy to edit after the tedious effort of proofreading a translator, but here it is: https://archive.vn/ALXBw

Absolutely no clue on the validity of this, but it would be funny if Azov, which is what I'm assuming he's talking about, started shooting each other. View attachment 3034600
There was some analyst stating that it's not actually a 40 mile long convoy, it's a series of logistics 'packets' spread over 40 miles which seem to be getting held up by broken down vehicles. Essentially it's a bunch of traffic jams. Ukraine has had a milder late winter/early spring than usual so the ground is too soft to drive a lot of the vehicles on, that's why they're stuck on the road. It's possible that sending the main thrust of the invasion through the Pripyat marshes was not the best idea.

Bit of history sperging: Back in the Spanish Civil War, foreign leftists [equivalent to today's redditards] joining the fight on the side of the Republicans tried to communicate in Esperanto, with mixed results.
