poor babushka

In the 2nd/3rd shot of the video it would appear that Russian Troops are helping the folks and/or were the target of the shelling.
Edit: it would appear Donetsk got shelled in the video.

So why should I give a care about a bunch of slavs shooting each other on the other side of the globe, that doesn't hurt American homeland in any way again?

Because it costs us pennies to ship in weapons so the Ukrainians can esplode russian men and machinery. Every dead russian soldier, every ruined or abandoned armor asset, every scrap of political capital Putin has to expend to maintain the state of affairs, every protestor in russia arrested, and every NATO ally galvanized into rearming is a victory for us in the grand scheme of things.

Its not about making sure russia loses the war, its about making them pay through the nose for what they get in a 21st century Winter War

And the Deep State will be more pissed now because India will do its exchange with Russia including oil in non-dollars.

Welp, get ready for a wheelbarrow of dollars to buy bread

So I think we can now take it as confirmed that the Russian cruise missile strike did in fact kill foreign volunteers. So the Ukies were lying, again. No suprise.

The realisation that it isn't the good ole days when you could engage Jihadis after a nice stroll in the country and call in airstrikes as soon as things got a bit hairy. Now you are the Jihadi. Sad but also funny.

And who is going to do anything about it?

The Pants Shitter? The Cackling Hyena? The Canadian Hitler who wanted to do this exact thing to Truckers? Bojo Jojo? Ursala? Xi? The Reddit Tranny Brigade?

None of these folks, of course. Most of them couldn't tell shit from Shinola. Gonna have to be the Ukes. If the footage was actually from a Uke weapon I decry that, as well. As always, it's the civilians who suffer most in war.

They though it was gonna be the opening of Enemy At The Gates, where the Russians have five guys with a clip of ammo for each Mosin rifle. Turns out they're the ones crossing the Volga on little rafts, completely unarmed, while the commisar screams "Not one step back!".
Also this retard talking about Ukrops stopping anyone from carrying military kit out of the country at border checkpoints, and how to smuggle it out, like his couple thousand dollar plate carrier and tacticool bike helmet are more important than his life.

A bit more on the table, that vlogger claimed then a false flag is coming. The chemical false flag to be precise. However, Zelinsky might be a good palsy for a false flag as well.

I'm surprised they haven't made a false flag already. I guess TPTB work on the perfect false flag just like a criminal works on the perfect crime.

Yes, it is how unequipped Ukrainian army is. Props to soldiers who dont give up in such shit conditions. Situation seems dire. Especially with all this bombing, you never know when it comes. War is fucked up.

Yeah, the whole not having air and equipment superiority is something they neither expect nor are in the slightest bit trained for. Fact is all our military doctrines are focussed on asymmetric warfare against goat herders and personel are trained to reflect that. It utterly fails in the face of actual warfare.

I'm waiting for the "zalensky was killed in a chemical attack on the maternity hospital he was visiting that had been doubled up as a veterinary clinic for injured bunnies" line to drop. That's when we know the elites have all their pieces in place (gold plated bunker) ready to go.

literally this classic vidya start, but IRL and replace 'soviet' with 'ukranian' and 'Stalingrad' with 'Kyiv' then?

Crossposting an article (archive) from the r/VolunteersForUkraine thread because it answers some questions people here have been asking about the foreign volunteers. I don't think it's been posted here yet.

For starters, the volunteers are indeed being paid. Their contract stipulates they'll receive 7,000 hryvnia a month, which is roughly between $230-$240.

The most troubling turn of events came just after breakfast. The volunteers lined up and were told that it was time to sign a contract: this stipulated that their pay would be 7,000 hryvnia a month ($230 at the time) and that they would have to remain in the Ukrainian foreign legion for the duration of the war.

Secondly, yes, the Ukrainians do technically consider them to be deserters if they accept the contract, get into combat once and then attempt to flee to Poland.

The contract put them under the same obligations as all Ukrainian men: under martial law, declared by Zelensky on February 24th, no man aged between 18 and 60 is allowed to leave the country. “If you’ve got any commitments at home, you’re going to lose them,” Priday told me.

In practice, however, they're just foreigners. The Ukrainians don't care if they run back to Poland.

He said that, in practice, those who no longer wished to fight could apply for a discharge and were unlikely to be refused. Between 20 and 30 volunteers have already been allowed to leave after signing on.

Thirdly, the contract says they will fight for an indefinite period of time. The Ukrainians were happy to tell this to journalists but it seems the volunteers themselves are totally out of the loop and don't know what they're signing up for.

Two other sources confirmed to 1843 magazine that the contract binds volunteers to serve for an indefinite length of time. (By way of comparison, the French Foreign Legion requires people to sign up for five years in the first instance.) None of the volunteers 1843 magazine spoke to had been told about the terms of contract before they made the crossing into Ukraine. A source in the Ukrainian ministry of defence also told 1843 magazine that the contract was for an unlimited period.

i do think that the actual professional militaries in the west do have effective doctrine for real war against peer powers available, and could implement it pretty fast. but the individual veterans who never did anything but counterinsurgency work of course don't have that now.

all of those restrictions make perfect sense. if you join the french foreign legion for example, you can't just decide to randomly drop out and leave when things get too hot for your liking, they'll consider you a deserter just like they would a regular french soldier in your position.

>Sending them without equipment
>The ones that get equipment get a mag with 10 bullets at most
Hold up, where's all the fucking equipment NATO was sending? motherfuckers had me thinking they where sending Texas entire GDP worth in M4's and Javelins, where the fuck is all of that going if they ran out of fucking bullets

>Indefinite
This is fucking hilarious these motherfuckers are singing away into slavery for updoots

I think maybe Russia will probably not use the cyberattack on Twitter, since it does keep the level of discussion within American politics super low to a toddler fight.

literally this classic vidya start, but IRL and replace 'soviet' with 'ukranian' and 'Stalingrad' with 'Kyiv' then?

I just realized that neither side is using female soldiers in combat arms beyond photo ops.

I haven't heard of any female snipers being used either.

I thought more of "Zalensky died in plane crash" or something like that. So, TPTB turns him into a martyr for their cause.

It’s a retard fight and if Russia does that on twitter it will be a huge blessing from them. They banned twitter or Facebook in Russia so it wouldn’t surprise me if they go that far.
