Reddit is trying to hype up a Ukrainian counter offensive at Kherson because a propaganda poster told them so.

Deny the west resources. Taking Kiev would have accomplished that without infrastructure damage across the country. Now Russia has denied the west resources and fucked Ukrainian infrastructure into the ground.
Please look up definition of "Pyrrhric victory."
Things will pick up again when Ukrainian forces start cracking from the strain.

Self-perpetuating circlejerk of hate at the expense of Russians. Neat.
Also, nice rules they have there.
He has been like this a while. Look how big his arms were compared to the pic where his tongue is alot smaller. I don't rate the chances of that tongue tbh as it is looking a bit black, or his brain from the look of him. That brain has either gone already, or he is maxed out on meds.

Tax paying Americans don't really have strong objections to defending people. At least not as long as said people actually want to be defended by the USA. It's the whole "Invade countries to bring Democracy!" thing that they're kind of tired of given how rarely it's worked out in the long run. Beyond that, a relationship of "allies" implies that they're bringing something to the table, even if the average taxpayer doesn't know exactly what that is. Knowing that the place is also contributing something is enough for most taxpayers.
Beyond that, I'd wager most logically think that a larger alliance means giving greater pause to potential enemies. Russia attacks places that aren't part of NATO because Putin doesn't want to risk fighting NATO. That includes Ukraine where he invaded in part because he feared Ukraine eventually being successful at joining NATO. So more countries joining NATO mostly just means more places that won't be attacked to begin with as the risk is too great. Thus there's minimal actual cost to defend those countries as merely being part of NATO makes it far less likely that they'd need the sort of aid that Ukraine's getting now, much less full on military intervention.

So much for being "evacuated"
Also middle dude might be dying but at least he has a huge dong based on the white out.
Too bad we can't do this to American "anti fascists"
Also what happened my hohol friends? I thought Russia was supposed to run out of food/gas/ammo last week?

Slava Novarussia.
Slava Confederate State of America.
The irony that both are fighting the US Gubmint.
Hopefully separatists and the Russians can give them fags in DC one hell of a giant black eye .
Hopefully the spirits of @Givi and Motorola can be at rest now since Russia basically ended the occupation of Azov over the Donbass.
Also fuck yesterday was Tuesday, well I guess for a Russian, the days don't matter given how drunk they usually are.
Also some video of a little girl embracing the Z warriors.

The Prime Minister of Kosovo announced plans to join NATO and the EU.
Albin Kurti called Kosovo "the most democratically developed country in the region" and expressed hope that the EU would accept Kosovo's application for membership this year.

Another Ukrainian prisoner. He says he only shot once.
It's funny to watch the side effects of propaganda; "we must destroy the Russian Orcs, they are monsters!" Well, now you are alone with them.

Everybody knows that the ability to make good posters is what makes Armies win wars.
If Kosovo becomes NATO, Serbia shall too become NATO (Косово је Србија)
Panteri and Mauzer are great songs but I am partial to Arkanove Delije/Tigrovi
Fun Fact: Delije is a Serbian term for "Heroes" or "Studs". Delija is the individual term. Delije is commonly associated with fans of the Red Star Belgrade football club, The Ultras of which largely made up the bulk of the Serbian Volunteer Guard AKA Arkan's Tigers which the above song sings the praises of.

This is one of my major topics of interest. I have watched so many videos about it. I am also huge fan of war porn. Any time people are shooting at each other and blowing each other up I will watch it. I watched a lot of the footage from Syria. I also like military strategy games and geopolitics.
Like a lot of people, I thought Russia would never invade. I also figured if they did Ukraine wouldn't last more than a few days. A week or so at the most. Not that I ever thought the Russian military was that powerful, but I thought Ukraine would fall quickly. A few days after the Russians invaded and I started seeing videos of Russian vehicles stuck on the side of the road out of fuel I knew something was horribly wrong. I read a lot of books about the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan in the 80's and I know guerilla style unconventional warfare is not something most powers win against. But I figured this was the kind of thing the Russians are good at so this would be over quick. I knew a little bit about the Ukrainian military situation as well. But it started to drag on and things looked like they weren't going as planned. I saw videos of Russian soldiers looting stores, stealing chickens and chicken eggs, even one video about Russian soldiers hunting nutria in Ukraine. Nutria is basically a big semi-aquatic rodent. The Russian vehicles sitting on the side of the road and the videos of them looting food, stealing livestock and hunting local animals for food told me there was severe problems with the Russians logistics and supply. I read in a book that the Soviet soldiers in Afghanistan would often steal stuff from Afghan farmers. It was so bad that they would boobytrap their own fields to try and keep the Soviets out. Even in Afghanistan the Soviet supply and logistic system was not very good.
So, after watching some more I find out that the Russians are having supply issues. In their attempt to pull off a bargain bin blitzkrieg the Russians moved faster than their supply and logistics could keep up with. This one of the pieces of evidence that capturing Kiev and toppling the Ukrainian government was a goal despite what the Russians claim now. Now they say Kiev was never the strategic objective and Eastern Ukraine was the real objective and that's just not the case. The other issue is that the Russians depend on trains to carry their supplies to supply dumps wherever they are operating. The Ukrainians destroyed the train tracks that go from Russia into Ukraine. That was a very smart move. From what I have read the Russians still use the old Soviet style tracks and Ukraine uses them as well. The Russians don't have enough trucks to move supplies and ammunition around. So, they depend on trains to do this. The Russians can't supply their army that well 90 miles past their own border. They just don't have the number of trucks to do it. This goes back to the days of the cold war and the Soviet Union. The Soviet army was setup for defense. It was never meant to be used for offense, especially not what Putin is using it for now. Just like NATO is a defensive alliance and was never meant for offense. Both the West and the Soviets believed one or the other was planning an invasion and they would have to defend against that invasion. But back then the Soviet border kind of stretched all the way across to Western Europe. I imagine they replaced all the train tracks with ones that would work on Soviet trains in all the old Warsaw Pact nations. I don't have any proof of this, but I have heard that a lot of the countries in Eastern Europe have replaced those old tracks with ones that Russian trains can't use. So that would make it even harder for the Russians to do anything militarily in other Eastern European countries. When you have to decide whether to keep your BM-21's supplied with ammo or to keep your soldiers supplied with ammo or food you aren't going to win a war that way.
Later on, I hear that Ukrainians are attacking convoys of Russian military trucks and I see videos of this. Then I hear about how the Russians are sending civilian trucks into Ukraine and I see videos of trains with flatbed train cars carrying Trucks from Russia and Belarus into Ukraine. I even saw videos of Russian soldiers riding around in the back of a garbage truck. So not only do the Russians not have enough trucks to supply their army with whatever they need they are also losing a lot of trucks to attacks from Ukrainians. This was weeks into the war and by then it was easy to tell that things were definitely not going how the Russians had planned. That someone had screwed up big time.
Of course, there was a lot copium from the vatnik Russiaboo types. That it took the US like 3 weeks to make it to Baghdad and I even saw that guy CoachRedpill saying that Russia was attempting to conduct the war in a more humane way than America does warfare and that was why things were going so slow. The US could take all the time it needed to do the Iraq invasion and it didn't have to worry about crippling sanctions on its economy. It was all very ridiculous. There is a reason why America conducts wars in the way it does. The Russians are learning why.
A month or so later Russia ends up retreating from Western Ukraine and abandoning its attempt at encircling and capturing Kiev. Then they started claiming that it was all just a feint, and that Eastern Ukraine was the real objective all along. Which is total nonsense because they wouldn't have wasted all that time and all the resources doing that. They claimed that they were just there to destroy the Ukrainian military capabilities which is another lie because they could have done that by air and wouldn't have needed a large invasion force. Large ground force invasions are only used for one thing and that's occupation.
That leads to the situation we have now with Russians in Eastern Ukraine. Like I said this is the same poorly trained, poorly equipped, and poorly funded Russian army that was in Western Ukraine. Moving them to Eastern Ukraine isn't going to make it a better army. The Russians aren't going to do any better in Eastern Ukraine now. Now the US and NATO has Western Ukraine as a corridor to freely ship weapons into and ship they have. The Ukrainians are getting some better Western weapons and they are even being trained to use them. It's not the fault of the stuff the Russians are using though. The Ukrainians are using the same stuff or just about and they have had better results. It's the people using the Russian stuff that are the problem. What they call user or operator error. Except when you screw up in a tank you end up dead. Also, I have heard that the condition of some of the vehicles the Russians have been using are quite poor. Like they didn't do the routine maintenance on them while they were being kept in storage.
I will end here, and I might post some more later.

From what I have heard the Russians have been pushed back some. But since they stopped them from taking Kiev, I would say the Ukrainians. The Russians are just trying to save face. They aren't really winning.

Kiwifarms. Never before has there been a thread with so many people completely disconnected from reality, schizoposting about how Hohols/Vatniks are totally owning everyone and winning the war guys, and autistically screeching at each other about how their side is committing the least amount of war crimes.
On a side note i find it endlessly amusing how Ruskies did a total 180 on their sabre rattling in relation to Finland.
One other thing i will note, Russia seems to have a tendency to fail upwards so short of it seriously fucking up and getting other countries involved militarily, it will probably be fine.
