Performance in Georgia.

this type of political virtue signaling through 'performance art' is always gay and retarded no matter the cause

Its only gay and retarded because your autistic ass cant empathize with human suffering.

Its only gay and retarded because your autistic ass cant empathize with human suffering.

I think if it was something like bringing candles and messages to embassy of Ukraine that would have been ok. Performative aspect is in bad taste. Also, I'm pretty sure that was some zoomers idea for clout.

Its fucking Eastern European warfare, both sides are more akin to orcs than human. The Ukranian orcs rape, steal and set the civilians up to get destroyed by firing on Russian units from the 6th floor of an 8 story commie bloc then make a video about how Russians are blowing up civilian structures for the western media. Russian orcs get sniped at and fired upon from every direction and get so trigger happy they shoot random people crossing the road with their bike the moment the person is visible. The woman you're talking about was found in the basement of a building Azov was using as a barracks, the specific war reporter was uh Patrick Lance and he was following DPR troops around. There is way too many fucking paramilitary organizations around to keep this war nice and orderly, this shit happened in Iraq, Syria, Yugoslavia and everywhere else you have non-state forces fighting, there is only tepid and inconsistent adherence to Geneva.

serious even asians and hispanics look at slavs and go "bruh..." when it comes to raping and murdering the fuck out of the assholes down the street

This is an easy and cheap photo op that most of these people probably boasted about on Instagram before doing.

There’s no great show of empathy going on here.

We're Oomers now, okay? Z is cancelled. Gone. The Oomers always forget, always forgive. Don't expect us. UWU .

Cover for a massive inferiority complex born from a century of catastrophic fuck ups on the part of Russian/Russophile leadership that left them underdeveloped, impoverished, oppressed and which sometimes got millions of them killed or outright murdered.

They must pretend all that actually wasn't that bad or else they would have to admit that either the last 4-5 generations of Russian people have chosen retarded leadership that reflects badly on themselves, or only slightly better have allowed themselves to be slaves to emperors/dictators/strongmen who's actions they had no control over.

Aside from downplaying how bad the past was the only palatable alternative is to blame foreigners for how bad it was, a tradition that still lives on today just as strong as ever. Think of post WW1 Germany with all their grievances about versailles and how easy it was for the German people to buy into the stab in the back mythology and what that led to, then imaging how bad the humiliation would have been if instead of the German empire coming to an end not at the outcome of enormously destructive war but after decades of stagnation and decay until finally ending pathetically without (almost) a single shot fired.

Than you have to factor in all of the people of their vassal states telling them exactly what they think of Russia as soon as they felt safe enough to do so rather than letting their revamped empire under the guise of the USSR die gracefully and you have some idea of what lurks behind the eyes of a Russian nationalist. As said above by someone else there's no middle ground at all in Russian society, if your not completely apathetic you either want Russian society to be reformed at its very roots or you fully except and believe every delusion about Russian greatness.

Yeah but then you look at the Ruskies on this forum and they are not nearly as smug as some of the most ardent Ukranian supporters, lending credence to the fact that this wall of text you just shat out is pseudo-intellectual mumbo jumbo created to fit around your pre-determined views on Russians not vice versa.

In fact every single Russian poster here except maybe that guy with the black and white picture on his avatar of I think its Eraserhead movie has been very nuanced in their views of this whole matter.


Fuckwit.

Well if Mr. Putin wants to invade Georgia again I'll go down to Atlanta with my gun and shoot me some VDV paratroopers.

Is there anything worth DEFENDING in Atlanta plus Russians will have to deal with niggers as well?

Got to prioritize which areas are important and which are not first. California and any city in America with a Democrat mayor that allowed BLM niggers to roam free and have Soros DAs are last on the list to be liberated in case of any invasion which doesn't involve crossing the Southern Border.

The VDV, if they had any brains, should cross through the Southern border and even might get a free bus ride to DC, courtesy of Governor Abbott when President Let's Go Brandon drops title 42.

Yeah dude, it's 100% him. Although it might not be a recent vid.
Think how many times in his life he had to play ball?
That was possibly his first time.
And it's been years since he had to run away from the feds in the woods.
Now he is pretty thick and marbled.

All that empathy is doing what for Ukraine, exactly? Thoughts and prayers and performance art from a safe distance don't mean anything to them in the face of an active warzone.

Doubt middle aged men or what ever use Instagram that much in fucking Georgia but sure.

What the fuck man, so embarassing. Though he did kick that ball pretty far.

Trainload of Russian vehicles headed towards Donbass, featuring two Buhanka-chans.

I'm guessing this means Russian must think Mariupol is a done deal and is ready to bust out some new toys.

Checked the Australian press again today.

source

Even includes the long-debunked mobile crematoria allegations. With the same pictures.

australias own national interest is in the pacific, and the pacific is (for now) mostly controlled by america.
but in the near future china is going to try and challenge that control, and australia would almost certainly end up being a lot worse off under chinese hegemony than it is under american hegemony, hence aligning with america makes sense for them.

They are weakened by hyper-focusing on places like Ukraine and not focusing on their own region. The US doesn't care about Australia beyond its strategic location.

If Australia's mini little empire in the Pacific, that most people don't even realise they have falls, it's Australia's fault. As they like to pretend their county is situated in the North Atlantic. Ignoring the region they're in. Being prepared to fight wars they shouldn't be involved in when their master orders them. Instead of their own regional interests.

Tonga recently had a volcanic disaster. Australia got shitty that China was sending aid. Yet the Australian Navy ship that went there immediately broke down and they brought COVID to the island nation.

Other hilarity is that during this Ukraine conflict, there are literally calls for Australia to invade the Solomon islands to prevent Chinese influence and potential military bases there. Which people don't understand the hypocrisy about it.

That was a flag of Ingushetia that he tore off with the ball btw.

At this point most people have realized that it's either back down and have your economy destroyed with nothing to show for it or push forward and have your economy destroyed while achieving at least some of the stated goals, whatever they may be. Since the sacrifice is already made, might as well get something out of it in addition to the humiliation.

The Ukrainean treatment of prisoners and public media outbursts like that journalist who went on air saying Russian children must be butchered before they can grow up makes defending pro-Ukrainean position next to impossible: "see, they ARE nazis, were nazis all along and attacking them was the right thing to do in retrospect".

The mood largely hit the "acceptance" phase of shock and the social network comments either talk the upcoming gardening season or produce cringy copium. The dissent is still there, but it gets downvoted. It is assumed that the ones dissenting are IT workers, bloggers, instagram thots and other "parasites" who do not do "real work" and "should go work in a factory", so the class animosity is stil alive and well. Some are wondering how and why Russia is not fighting back on the media front, allowing itself to be painted as 143 million Hitlers: the reply to these is either "the media war was lost in 2014" or "who cares, they made up their mind, there is no changing it" with an occasional "we don't need them anyway".

If your question was about the official government take, it is schizophrenic. Medvedev says "crush them all", Putin says "we will finish what we started", Peskov says "a peace treaty would be awesome" and random Duma lawmakers keep regularly squeaking "no to war".

Thanks for the great info. Seems Russia has retained much of the intergenerational/class strife of the USSR 30 years later.

Also the Medvedev point is actually quite important IMO. A lot of people saw him as just a puppet of Putin but if you look at his record his four years were probably the closest Russia got to joining the international order rather than trying to make their own- he basically came out and said that Russia had zero interest in any other countries joining NATO, it was there decision. He invaded Georgia but he was also a big part of the Russian "Reset" and wanted a relationship with the EU similar to Switzerland or Sweden.

The sunk-cost idea makes sense. The best counter to that from Western countries would be to try and push the idea that a replacement of Putin in favour of a more democratic regime would mean that a retreat wouldn't be a defeat and that the war is mainly against Putin, not Russia herself. Good luck getting the propaganda division to actually do that, though.

About zero. That's shit for third world shitholes that can't retaliate. If we or "we" did that to Putin it could very well lead to immediate nuclear war. It's a lot more likely he's taken out by his own guys, and even then, he'd have to show signs of weakness more than simply having started a war that is not going particularly well.

I think Libya is what is making Putin do what he is doing. Even the CIS is slowly moving West. The only country left he has that could guarantee safety and a powerbase if he was ever deposed in Belarus, and they don't like the sanctions. With Ukraine a hostile state, at this point Putin being removed from power would mean dying in a basement and probably zero offers of asylum elsewhere. We have to remember that Libya was mainly a rebellion, it won because of NATO/UN air-support, but they weren't doing the actual fighting. If the military actually rebelled (which seems at least a little bit plausible depending on whether reports are true or not) it wouldn't need outside help. NATO would probably sit as far back as possible in that situation to prevent a nuclear strike from something with absolutely nothing to lose.
