Honesty I wouldn't be surprised if post war we have a few terrorist attacks from both Russians and Ukrainians against the others countries. There's going to be quite a few people on both sides that have lost damn near everything and don't have much to lose. It's a recipe for disaster.

Yeah, it would surprise me if stuff like this doesn't happen :


The average reddit neckbeard will be confused as to why the Avengers and Batman are suddenly destroying hospitals and killing children.

That's how wars go. Even with all the fucked up shit, this one is still relatively tame compared to many conflicts, even in that part of the world.

I disagree to an extent.

Some wars are much nobler than others. There's a civil war in Ethiopia where Tigray has defeated one of Africa's strongest states despite being isolated, starved and persecuted. It's far more beautiful than this. There, the people know who they are. They sing songs in harmony. They have their people swarm into their ranks from all corners very organically, as opposed to being conscripted or brainwashed en masse. Their strength is their own and not taken from others. They have seized destiny by the throat and it is wholesome, even if war is terrible. Meanwhile in Ukraine all I see vanity, hate and stupidity. People desecrating corpses or the dying soldiers to massage their untempered hatreds. Deaths of little civvies that couldn't dream that lads akin to their own flesh and blood would come bombing them to shit while the "Free World" claps and some Vlad Gopnik denies their right to exist. It's disgusting.

The only people negative about the Azoz Battalion(s) are Western Putinist pearl clutchers who are a decidedly marginal element.

While I can only speak for myself, I - as an impartial baka gaijin observer - am making fun of the Azov Battalion for unironically being more catastrophically incompetent than r*dditors.

Probably not much change this week. Russia appears to be shifting to holding or retreating from positions in the north to consolidate it's gains in the east/southeast, and suggesting that liberating Donbas was their 'main goal' for the 'special operation'. Zelensky's made some suggestion that they'd be willing to concede the loss of Donbas and Crimea and agree to neutrality. But we're still obviously nowhere near a compromise as Russia clearly wants to hang onto as much of the land it's taken as it can, while Ukraine's probably not going to accept Russia's definition of neutrality(which would almost certainly include disarmament).

Going off of past disarmament deals they've made with Austria and Finland, I see a limit on their air force, limitations on the types of missiles they can possess (specifically in regards to range and number), and a hard limit on troop numbers. Also stuff like azov would have to be disbanded, as well as most of their national guard units. Probably a few other random conditions as well.

Not Zelensky but an adviser to the head of his office:

Alexey Arestovich commented on a video in which the Ukrainian military torture prisoners

"We treat such cases extremely harshly. There will be an investigation. I have officially called from the rostrum more than once and today I called again — we do not torture prisoners. We are a European army, a European state."

Also, an adviser to the head of Zelensky's office said that what is happening on the video "has signs of a war crime."
It didn't happen because we are European. Uh, what?

You link to your own histrionic greentext. The Russians still haven't taken it. That seems a better mark of competence than the opinion of some random on a gossip forum. The two battalions and the naval brigade are doing more than alright. Re-posting this to trigger you for you seem tilted.

Latin and Central America had some truly based elements who just couldn't stop putting Commies in the ground. I doubt Joe is at a mental level to idolize anyone except the nurse aide who changes his depends.

It's estimated that 500.000 people have died in the Tigray war and it's pretty much an ethnic conflict a la Rwandan genocide.

Ethiopia has de facto stopped existing as a state.

There were also humane episodes in WW2 but you don't hear them often because war is one of more negative extremes of the human experience.

That's honestly handling it better than I expected on the Ukrainian side. I expected a full on "it's fake news. You aren't a Russian infiltrator, right?" angle. They at least have the decency to say that it was bad.
