Unlike Twitter, they actually have guns.

Russia wishes they had that power in the Western world. Takes years to curate a mob just right that makes politicians cuck and people get their livelihoods ruined.

Guns that I can't get my grubby little hands on anymore. I'd like to take this post to say fuck you to Yeltsin, Clinton, and Obama for that. Russian firearms are their best product.

Regarding hospitals (and other places), some have already been demonstrably used by Azov in Azov's own social media posts.

Prove it.

We only know what we know, I'm sure Russians fucked up and are pretty loose with where arty lands

Your claim was that the Russian soldiers are ill disciplined and out of control so will just arty whatever they want based on whatever grid is given to them. I think that's demonstrably not the case unless a lot has changed since Syria.

Contradiction?

The US told everyone to get out or be considered a combatant.

Source? I've never heard of the U.S. just straight up labeling everyone inside a city an enemy combatant by default. There were plenty of old folks who literally couldn't leave.

Also not sure why you keep using Syria as a reference for the supposedly "clean" Russian army when there are claims of airstrikes on civilian targets by Russian aircraft in that conflict as well. The U.S., by contrast, was so overly concerned about rules of engagement and international optics that they avoided destroying mosques (which insurgents took advantage of) because of their religious significance, which was above and beyond the call, but goes to show how careful an actual professional army can be if they need to.

The Spanish really did humanity a favor with that one. It may actually be their greatest contribution to the world. Which should definitely say something about why you don't go apeshit on brutality.

The natives in the U.S. were also extremely bellicose, even more so than the Europeans. It is estimated that up to 20% of the male population died periodically due to small-scale tribal warfare.

There were also a couple of ethnic cleansings between natives once the Europeans came on the scene mostly due to the competitiveness of the fur trading.

It really makes you think what would have happened if they were never anihilated by diseases.

Whenever you see Biden give an interview and he says, "I'm not supposed to take any questions" or his goons just clear the reporters out before they can ask any, it's because of stuff like this. It's amazing how dementia or whatever other brain rot he's dealing with has caused these bouts of inconvenient honesty to become more frequent. I'm expecting him to blurt out the truth about the JFK assassination live on TV before some horrified CNN reporters any day now.

I really want to hear him say something like "H.W. told me he really regretted what he did in Dallas..."

They sure are just look up what happened after the killing of heydrich

Killing Heydrich was stupid because while the military faggots who had never been in a war (and acted in direct defiance of the actual resistance group in that locale) thought it was a fantastic idea, it caused not only reprisals but a harsh crackdown in what had been an otherwise peaceful occupation. The very people they claimed to be helping were the ones who suffered the most after his assassination.

Ah I remember xenofora cucking, I just didn't remember seeing anything about A&H.

That's what he called it, but it sounds as though he's just not going to attempt to save anything from A&N. I have no clue as to whether or not that's going to apply here though.

My understanding is that it's just not keeping any of the old threads from articles, since a fair number of them are formatted incorrectly anyway. XenForo cucked out on the farms so we have to change over since we're no longer getting updates from them. Basically, the farms getting the Russia treatment round 6 gorillian.

He is referring to this post in particular.

Any evidence of redditors doing anything good? There's plenty of evidence from both sides of them fucking up.
Trying to pass the blame to the guy's friend is the one who fucked up is also retarded. OPSEC was on the guy in Ukraine.

That's kinda my point: all Reddit has done is fuck things up for both sides from the outside. The notion that Ukraine is actually taking people in who neither speak the language nor have military experience, refusing to train them, giving them a rifle (that they are reportedly short on) and armor, and then sending them out to get raped by Chechens is so utterly fucking insane that if it were happening, Russia would have to be equally fucking retarded to not video every single one of them they captured and spread it to every corner of the internet.

God I wish would we get some sweet Chechen on redditor action. First time in my life I'd be sympatheticly yelling "Allah akbar" with a video.

I think it’s a good thing Russians aren’t filming everything they see. Ukes (or more specifically Uke volunteers) aren’t bothering to to turn their phones or their geolocation off, in addition to some posting pictures of themselves online for clout. I’d rather have less men than have volunteers that actively put others in danger that could give information away to people with bad intentions.

Given exactly how well the Russians have been using cell signals to target artillery and air strikes for nearly a decade now, I have to imagine that they've come up with some very motivating punishments for anyone in their military who does that shit.

 

[The best and greatest]

The problem is that the side doing it will deny it like how CNN said about "fiery but mostly peaceful".

And there is a reason for it because you don't go to war to be a total asshole to everyone and then brag about it. You will only end up like the Assyrians, without allies and with everyone wanting to torture your corpse for the uptenth time.

I don't see that happening to Ukraine. They're too useful atm and since they're being aggressed on its easier to forgive the occasional show of brutality. Still, point taken. I guess it is kinda counter productive in the grand scheme of things to do business this way

These stupid fuckers never got the whole concept that silencing people makes their opinions seem more legitimate, whether they are or not, just because now it looks like the people doing the banning are afraid of them.

Just make them extra paranoid by saying that anything about Ukraine doing super well is also Russian propaganda to get people complacent. Seems the OP is already part of the way there for being worried about coming across Russian propaganda on Patreon of all places.

 

[Smity Werbenjagermanjensen]

One thing I've gleamed from looking through the more heavily slanted Pro-Russia accounts on Twitter the past few days, it's starting to become more and more popular that anything less than the complete and utter destruction of Ukraine as a nation will be defeat to them, it's kinda of hilarious how they still think that's practical at this point.

Lmfao, Redditors canceling all sources of alternate info, even though I don't like his takes (he said that the 1,600 Russian fatalies vs 14,000 Ukrainian fatalities was a "realistic number" so he's pretty delusional in some cases) I at least welcome him reporting on news that hurts Ukraine.

"And this Russian propaganda, is it in the room with us right now?"

I should probably state that I was thinking more along the lines of those "interviews" both sides were holding with their first prisoners back at the start of the war, rather than battlefield footage. Some 300-pound troon blubbering about how this is so much worse than "she" imagined would be the hit propaganda piece of the decade.

On the more general note, maybe it's that bad, maybe it isn't. Reports of people getting rocket sniped because of cell phone fuckups have largely dropped off over the last week or 2, with the most high-profile exceptions being the fault of civilians. Ukraine has realized the value of combat footage for propaganda and morale purposes, so I wouldn't be surprised if they're reluctant to quash it in its entirety. Maybe there are rules in place about time and physical distance before you're allowed to release it, or maybe all the stupid ones got themselves killed already.

The best antidote to propaganda is not silencing them. It's laughing at them.
