I wonder if life insurance supplies are trying to find some kind of nullification clause with the whole foreign fighter stuff going on.

They would be stupid not to, and given how so many property insurance plans already don't cover civil unrest combined with how unreliable the official casualty counts are I doubt that many of these people are going to see a payout. At least not in anything resembling a timely manner.

Apparently he's going over there to teach people to fight. Everybody figured he would get off the bus and immediately run in front of incoming 30mm to skip the fight with Ella Fitzgerald disease or whatever the hell he's got.

I don't like James Yeager or john Lovell but that wasn't a bad conversation. On the Yeager situation, ALS is a horrible way to go and as much as I think the dude is a complete retard he doesn't deserve to go like that. Whether he dies in Ukraine or not isn't the point, the fact that the guy wants to die with dignity (at lest in his mind) shows just how bad his situation is.

Lovell touched on something I've been thinking about (probably by accident). We've got a whole group of dunning kruger weekend warriors getting involved in a real war that they've got fuck all to do with because they don't understand how fucking dangerous it is or how much of what they "know" about it is bullshit propaganda.

One of the biggest criticisms I've had with all these trainers and e-celebs is that they sell this high speed low drag larp to guys who can't differentiate between the real world and a product. They're all guiltily of it even the guys with the military pedigree do it.

It breeds overconfidence. The same overconfidence that leads to some cowboy retard to think he can go to a foreign warzone, where he doesn't speak the language, doesn't understand what's going on or who's fighting who. They can't read a map, use a radio or cook their own food but they think they are ready.
 
You saying 'cowboy retard' made me imagine in my head some dude going over there in full CAS getup with a single action revolver on each hip, and as stupid as it would be, it would also be the most based thing in existence.

I wonder how many PSA and/or Century Arms AKs are fixin to get gunked up over there when the Reddit Brigade gets dilated.

0. I can say with confidence that nobody is messing with European import laws to import even a WASR much less a PSA.

The other factor in my certainty is that most are flying over. No chance to smuggle a rifle in your carry-on luggage, it'd have to be by boat somehow. Libyans don't have PSAs tho :P
 
Also consider, why would you bring a WASR or PSA piece of shit over when they're issuing real Russian and Bulgarian AKs?

Oh, I hope they're handing out I.O. AKs to them.

A few years ago there were talks of US-made AKs being sold to the DoD, IO and Century stepped up. Can't find if those contracts ended up being bid on.
Bushmaster made M4s to be sent to Georgia. The Russians captured them in 2008.

I know century claimed the VSKA was originally made for a government contract, I don't think there's any proof of that.

They're having issues with arming people.

I suspect it's more a case of them not wanting to arm certain people.

If Ukraine are trying to form organised units of foreign volunteers, one possible way of weeding out the walter mitty's is to simply let the volunteers do it themselves. People will naturally form groups in situations like that, and those that don't find themselves welcome in those groups, or can only be accepted by other retards, should probably be the first ones sent back.

Also if you leave people in primitive conditions for a few days, no heating, hot water etc, and some end up looking like they're about to fall apart then that's another good way of identifying rejects.

Some guy on Twitter was complaining that they'd been asked to guard a compound without any weapons. Any former soldier would have just shrugged and done what he was fucking told.

If a group of people can't organise themselves so that they can stag on during the night, on some compound hundreds of miles behind the front lines, are they really going to be worth the cost of feeding them?

The morale hit of not being able to even fight a wandering dog with the weapons not provided isn't going to make the people who can fight want to stick around imo.

Like, maybe I'm some super soldier who killed a platoon of enemy soldiers in Afghanistan with my pocket knife, but I still need a pocket knife.

Sorry mate, but no military is going to give some rando an assault rifle untill they have some confidence in his abilities.

As for Morale, well I think the ability to shut the fuck up and do what you're told is a bit more important. If some potential recruit can't man what's essentially a fire picket through the night, then i'm not really certain what role he can fill.

I agree with all that, what I disagree with is that you think the bad conditions are some form of testing ground. I think the bad conditions are just Ukraine being in a real bad spot, if they were doing incredibly well like the media wants you to think then Zelenski probably wouldn't be doing a grand tour begging on his knees for NATO intervention as hard as he is right now. They might be more hesitant about just giving out rifles to randos following the string of massive clusterfucks that the civilian territorial guard has turned out to be since they probably don't want to keep getting their own military and civs fragged by untrained trigger happy idiots, but I just think that Ukraine in general is in a bad spot right now and that's the real core of the whole Enemy At The Gates unarmed soldiers thing going on right now.

And yeah, if I landed in country and that was what I ran into I'd probably be leaving too, not because I'm a coward but because I have common sense and I know when to fold em.
 
Forward Observations Group killed their social media, website is still up. Claims circulate stating some of their members were killed in an artillery barrage on Lviv barracks housing foreign volunteers. Yet to see concrete evidence regarding their demise alongside the redditcattle.

This week they were publicly accused of being involved in the setup for false flag chemical weapons attacks in Ukraine. US media of course says these claims are "debunked" but you know how that always turns out.

My guess is that the heat they're getting from this is the reason for closing their accounts.
