The speech of the guys from the OMON(riot police) to the actress of Ukraine from the video with a man with his throat cut


They strongly advise the girl to apologize publicly on social media and to stay at home.


And to the men of Ukraine, the guys from the OMON said that they are spineless cowards, forcing women to defend their homeland on social networks while they themselves and their families are fleeing to Europe.

To be fair, you have to have a very high IQ to understand this video. The nuance is extremely subtle, and without a solid grasp of Russian epic literature the message will go over a typical viewer's head. Whereas the Ukrainean propaganda is trying to spook you with the image of a crazy bloodthirsty witch, the Russian propaganda counters with the wholesome message of three Bogatyr defenders - fair, just and ever vigilant in their service to Motherland. It is the classic dichotomy of vile forces of darkness on the one side and righteous forces of good on the other.

In honor of this thread being on page '1337' - some very kino soviet style pro-Ukraine propaganda. Translated as best as I could.


"Russian 'World'"

<couldn't translate>

"Avenge"

"Ukrainians, fight for freedom"

This is how people now live in the center of Kharkiv.

The one you couldn't translate says "The hour of reckoning is drawing closer". The SS chevron on the sleeve in the last one is just chef's kiss.

More like "peace" in this instance.

Repayment coming soon, I think?

The surge of support in the EU behind honest-to-God nazis reminds me of a WW2-era joke about Stalin and Churchill.

C: "Mr. Stalin, what would you do if Hitler was in this very room with us right now?"
S: "I would take a red-hot poker and stick the cold end of it up his arse."
C: "But... Why the cold end?"
S: "So that you couldn't help him pull it out."

3 heroes who defeated the Ukrainian witch and her American-Jewish golems? Now this is a story that you can tell your children before going to bed

 

[Spicey McHaggis]

I know its in vouge to call a politician you do not like crazy. But Lukashenko is really, really nuts.

To be fair, you probably have to be crazy to want to run a country like Belarus.

Expecting Russia to collapse because of excessive hardship is like expecting Britain to collapse from excessive tea and cricket, or Japan to collapse because of excessive anime. They were there already, all you are proving is that you do not understand them.

Just because you'd be fucked up by not laying on the beach at Cannes watching Netflix on the latest iPhone doesn't mean the other 99.9% of the human population would be.

This thread isn't for well thought-out and reasonable posts. You so crazy!

 

[draggs]

This very serious

There are multiple people here that are stickering my posts

I wake up and see all these notifications

Four or five stickers in a row from one person then three or four from another person

They don't sticker every post of mine and each sticker is separated by at least a minute

So these people are obviously taking the time to read my posts and decide on their sticker response and not just mindlessly going down the list of my posts and hitting dat button

It is unacceptable that they are taking this time and showing this interest and respek even when they disagree

Im not even shaking rn my mom brought me a plate of chimken nuggies and I politely thanked her for them and ate a moderate amount before putting the rest in the fridge and washing the plate off in the sink

This has gotta stop

"Ukrainians, fight for freedom"

I wonder why they aren't showing OUN freedom fighters during WWII.
Bandera is their national hero, so why not? Hmm..

Oh yeah, the OMOH police.


Haha, They don't like it if you mirror their pics.

Another angle was apparently pried off of whatever remained of a Ukrainians phone of the point-blank tank bang... not using spoiler as the data predictably cuts off before anything nasty could be seen. They were so jovial before
RIP lads.

At 0:15 they say "If you need anything, pick up the trophies. You'll say you fragged a separ(atist)". "No, fuck this".

I'm still not getting what is going on in this video.

They had no idea. You can even see a flash in the last frames, fuck.
I wonder how quickly they went. I would imagine they would have been so concussed that they wouldn't feel much. Not the worst way to go in a war I guess?

If it's a Russian APC rolling up to them, why are they not alarmed? If it's a Ukrainean one, why are they shooting at their own?

Got the context:

---

A Russian tank hit Ukrainian militants at point-blank range.

A tank of the Russian army hit a group of Ukrainian militants from the so-called territorial defense at point-blank range.

Apparently, the Ukrainians took the vehicle as their own. The tank crew also identified the enemy at the very last moment, but nevertheless managed to open fire.

From what I've seen, this is a common problem when soldiers approach each other face to-face, ask whose army they belong to, a second of surprise, and then the Mexican duel begins.
