I’m very happy to learn this new joke mukosransk

[whole gale]

Fucking shit or in the same vein

[slim acorn]

Oh jeeze.

[limber vault]

Basically calling city a shitting fly

[mental haven]

Where does the joke come from?

[scarlet elbow]

wdym in the same vein?

[scarlet elbow]

[scarlet elbow]

yup

[slim acorn]

What a world

[indigo spade]

[slim acorn]

Ah, okay

[mental haven]

I enjoy learning these things a lot

[cunning owl]

[slim acorn]

Oh man oh man oh man

This community is top tier

Real homies accept bribes to ignore anything 😎

[mental haven]

I can’t understand what you’re saying but I 100% see the amogus in there

[regal fjord]

Anyway, as I was saying before I was rudely interrupted by artificial intelligence, my first major was far eastern studies (speciality: Japan), and our main subjects were english and japanese (alongside stuff like diplomatic ethics, geopolitics etc), and pretty much no one except me and 2 other dudes had level of english above "I can order burger at McDonalds"

[scarlet elbow]

yes there is one

two actually*

[regal fjord]

And would generally act like even attending the english lectures was beneath them somehow

[slim acorn]

Ah

Interesting

[mental haven]

I literally feel like a donkey the way I can only read the words but don’t understand it bruh 😞

[slim acorn]

Well at least youre somewhat there

Indeed arguable

[scarlet elbow]

You got lucky, no one in my school or anyone I know in the city knows english any good except me

[mental haven]

This is all you need to survive in the country

[regal fjord]

In contrast tho, one of the aforementioned dudes was a guy that 100% scored the government final school exam (I only had 94%) and was a finalist in some sort of national english contest. Dude literally had a genuine bri'ish accent, he was that good

I was wondering this, do Europeans know about chick Fil a?

[slim acorn]

Except explaining to the cashier that you can order is not the same thing as ordering

[scarlet elbow]

okay imma go to kfc then

[cunning owl]

Our foreign language class ensures that everyone speaks enough to be able to get help or find a way back home if lost

[regal fjord]

My accent for some reason is completely incomprehensible to americans. In every game with voip americans are always the only ones to be completely unable to tell what I'm saying

But is very doable if gotten enough practice

[slim acorn]

I may have interacted with you before in game actually

Do you go by same discord user?

[cunning owl]

Usokitsuki I thought your username was japanese

[mental haven]

Ok fuck it, chick Fil a is a chain in the US where order takers stand outside to take your order and they’re run by like mega Christians lol

[cunning owl]

Isnt that the word for liar

[whole gale]

The french understand you just fine... whether their ego allows them to.. especially paris

Yeah I thought it was a variation of that lol

[regal fjord]

Took a break afterwards, I'm just one away from warden loyalist

[cunning owl]

is it something else?

[slim acorn]

I cannot be classified as a loyalist because shard 2 does not exist

[mental haven]

I worked at a chick Fil a for a year

[slim acorn]

Therefore I do not exist

Controversy

[fickle knot]

Yeah, except for the tomatoes. Their tomatoes are chemical weapons

[mental haven]

No bro we literally weren’t allowed to display negative emotions

[fickle knot]

Their pickles are based tho

[mental haven]

Managers would literally take us aside to tell us we were being too negative

[slim acorn]

Sounds like strict Christian discipline

Specifically mormonism correct?

What is that one?

[mental haven]

One time I was kept for 2 hours after my shift ended even though I had to visit my grandpa in the hospital

[slim acorn]

Mammonism*?

[fickle knot]

Nah it started in the south

Oh, well then nvm

[slim acorn]

[whole gale]

I have never seen a gun in public other than police(in their holster)/militairy police at the airport. The US is wildin

[fickle knot]

Cleric why are you showing emotion

Most of the time theyre concealed

Thats the best part

One time a guy got out of his car in our drive thru and attempted to open the door of another drivers car because one of them cut the other off

[slim acorn]

As they intended

[jovial loom]

Ukrainian delegation has arrived apparently

[cunning owl]

Own a musket for home defense, since that's what the founding fathers intended. Four ruffians break into my house. "What the devil?" As I grab my powdered wig and Kentucky rifle. Blow a golf ball sized hole through the first man, he's dead on the spot. Draw my pistol on the second man, miss him entirely because it's smoothbore and nails the neighbors dog. I have to resort to the cannon mounted at the top of the stairs loaded with grape shot, "Tally ho lads" the grape shot shreds two men in the blast, the sound and extra shrapnel set off car alarms. Fix bayonet and charge the last terrified rapscallion.He Bleeds out waiting on the police to arrive since triangular bayonet wounds are impossible to stitch up, Just as the founding fathers intended

[slim acorn]

Its glass for a reason guys

Glass breaks for a reason!

[fickle knot]

Add an underbarrel cannon

[slim acorn]

They would have made it bulletproof if it werent meant to be broken

[mental haven]

Using a firearm where the metal work was literally made out of kettles and pots by some 74 year old woman in her fire place like the founding fathers intended

[cunning owl]

[jovial loom]

I own a 20mm AT Rifle for anti-partisan defence, since that's what the devs intended. Four ruffians stop my logistics truck. "What the devil?" As I grab my Adrian helmet and Neville Anti Tank Rifle. Blow a football sized hole through the first man, he's dead on the spot. Draw my Cascadier 873, miss him entirely because I forgot to load it. I have to resort to climbing into the driver's seat of my Dunelugger, "Tally Ho Lads" I yell as I run over the next two. get my fists out and charge the last terrified rapscallion. He bleeds out waiting for a medic as I have pummelled him to death. Just as the devs intended.

CA is not the place I’d go for gun stuff

Food service isn’t even my main line of work, I’m trying to learn trade stuff like construction

[fickle cliff]

Unless your collecting butchered guns

Maybe thats why plague doctors were so crazy

[fickle knot]

They are 1 iq, there's tons of cartel guns around though

[slim acorn]

…what?

[mental haven]

I’ve always wanted to own an AK

[cunning owl]

I own a Javelin for anti-Russian defence, since that's what the president intended. Four ruffians cross the border. "What the devil?" As I grab my molotov cocktail and AK-47. Blow a football sized hole through the first man, he's dead on the spot. Light up my molotov and toss it at the second man, miss him entirely because I realized there was an enemy tank nearby and switched targets. I have to resort to using my FGM-148 Javelin, "Tally Ho Lads" I yell as I shoot at the tank which blows up immediately, get my fists out and charge the last terrified ruski. He dies of embarrassment after getting laughed at by several Ukrainians. Just as the president intended.

[fickle cliff]

Here’s my favorite

[cunning owl]

yah I hate it here

give me muh GUNS

[fickle cliff]

California has extremely tight gun laws, not that they really do much but inconvenience people to an infuriating degree

[slim acorn]

Ah you called it something entirely different

[fickle knot]

If you want it cheap get a wasr or a Bulgarian or eastern European surplus. Avoid Chinese unless you just want a display or unless you want permanent scars when it blows up 2 mags in

Cali is know for being home to a lot of hipster Twitter communists, hence the Commiefornia

Imagine if foxhole implemented weapon quality

[whole gale]

Arms dealers sell Kalashes in the range of 25 to 125 usd iirc. Fully automatic field tested from the previous users

[slim acorn]

Makes sense

[mental haven]

I’m also trying to learn how to make riveted chain mail armor because I enjoy medieval stuff

[slim acorn]

Since its literally social media the state

[fickle knot]

Like what if foxhole guns could misfire or detonate and cause operator damage

[fickle cliff]

You could also go to Lebanon I think

[slim acorn]

My friend makes that stuff

Really interested in mushrooms, too

[fickle cliff]

They have ware houses where they charge you for weight instead of individual guns I think

[mental haven]

Is he into HEMA or reenactment or anything like that?

[slim acorn]

Probably

[whole gale]

Anywhere a recent conflict has been resolved they will be plenty available

[slim acorn]

I dunno i could ask when I see him again

He doesnt have any electronics or anything

[fickle cliff]

Oh Christ no, no one would live long enough for that to be an issue

[slim acorn]

Pretty sure he lives outdoors

[fickle cliff]

And those who do would just literally throw it into the nearest river and grab another

[mental haven]

Learning about the many medieval periods has been the most kind drudgingly hard periods to study. Not only is there mountains of misinformation, it’s also really fucking expensive

[slim acorn]

Ah

[fickle cliff]

Is he Amish or something?

[slim acorn]

Thats unfortunate

[slim acorn]

No, I was kidding, but he does like the outdoors a lot

[whole gale]

Chainmail is poggers. Just need to watch out for stabbing objects. But cant cut the steel with a blade atleast

[mental haven]

It’s pretty nice

[slim acorn]

Looks great with a tunic

[mental haven]

I like the aesthetic of wearing a surcoat over mail but don’t really like greathelm, especially sugarloaf greathelms because they look like shit

Don’t do this shit to me

[whole gale]

Dont forget to add some padding to your coif. It will still hurt real bad without it

[fickle knot]

Mil surplus out of ukraine is probably going to be crazy in a few years just considering how many weapons are being thrown around without any record

[mental haven]

If you’re wearing gambeson under your mail and plate you’re gonna have a bad time

[fickle knot]

Late greek armor shifted from bronze to cloth also

[whole gale]

Depends on the quality and year you are in

[fickle cliff]

https://www.middleeasteye.net/news/algeria-offers-supply-eu-extra-gas-amid-russia-ukraine-crisis

[mental haven]

Oh god I regret bringing up the medieval period, already seeing so much wrong

[whole gale]

Full plate armor got real available in the late middle ages

[mental haven]

This is a can of worms I don’t want to get into

Well, the medieval periods are all very diverse, I don’t have the character count to talk about it all, but yes as gunpowder weaponry got more advanced armor started to get phased out, but the two coexisted for a long time and plate armor advanced heavily alongside it

Something I’ve learned from this one really helpful discord is that as time went on, leg armor got less and less used

[fickle knot]

European industry got good at mass producing basic armor again

[mental haven]

There’s this helpful discord I’m in where everyone is like super well. Versed in everything about medieval stuff and it’s really intimidating how much about the medieval period we think of is just straight up wrong

[limber gale]

Brigandine masterrace

[whole gale]

The plate armour could offer some protection against the firearms. But eventually the firearms got better and more available, eventually making people ditch the weight

[mental haven]

Really calling it the medieval period is a disservice to all the difference between each century

Not to mention all the non-European places during those times

God just thinking about it makes me brain hurt

[fickle knot]

Most people think of the late to high middle ages characterized by like vikings chainmail and heavy cavalry

[mental haven]

I don’t think Vikings were late to high

[whole gale]

Vikings is early middleage

[fickle knot]

Depends when you end the dark ages and start the middle ages

Since vikings are like 700 and end of the middle ages is like 1300

[whole gale]

Rome fell several times

[limber gale]

Bronze age collapse?

[fickle knot]

Ancient Atlantian technocrats pilled

[whole gale]

Carthage

[limber gale]

Yeah

Bronze age collapse is interesting

Aren't sea people's basically Greeks

[fickle knot]

I have a not mainstream theory

Based on thermohaline circulation

[whole gale]

Atlantis came from plato right?

[limber gale]

At least speculated it was greeks

[mental haven]

I regret opening up this can of worms because there’s so many different eras and intricacies and every defined period has a sub period and also each period has a high rate of bleed over between each other so we can’t distinctly define anything and I’m king fucking insane

[fickle knot]

So you know how europe had a weird warming period in the middle ages and got super overpopulated. Like warm enough to have vineyards in the british isles and Scandinavia. And eveuntally the restoring of thermohaline circulation to normal patterns led to cooling and the black death

[limber gale]

Carthage be fine, until some decided to go full on dependa est train

[fickle knot]

While the opposite is true for the new world so north America experienced catastrophic climate cooling in the same time period and contributed to the native American civilization collaspe in North America leading to smaller societies and more nomadic culture. Like a post apocylase that was just barley recovering for less than 200 years when European diseases arrived and delivered the knock out punch

Tldr that's my Ted talk

[analog depot]

Can't be, notes from eh can't ever remember which one, Plato? Socrates? Either or, his description of it would mean Carthage cannot be Atlantis

[whole gale]

History of North America before the old world came is very sparse. Few wrote shit down and fewer didnt burn it afterwards

[analog depot]

The closest people even have for it's location is to the west of the Gibraltar straight

[mental haven]

I hate that so much of the worlds history isn’t written down

[paper timber]

why are they blockading naboo with a port

[whole gale]

Better yet, they wrote it down on something that rotted away. Like wood

[analog depot]

What? No it's not, it's nowhere close

[mental haven]

Also medieval experts really like using the word “extant”

[whole gale]

And "ceremonial" kekw

[mental haven]

For obvious reasons

[analog depot]

Carthage was around where Tunis is, or around that area. Gibraltar is very very far from there

[whole gale]

Carthage was pretty impressive for its time

[fickle knot]

Ancient Greeks would have known the difference

The Iberian coast was well mapped

Several greek colonies were already along it

[mental haven]

I think I remember seeing that ancient maps would’ve been able to map their local area pretty good, like the Mediterranean, but it doesn’t survive to the modern era

[paper timber]

if anything it would've felt like the edge of the world because there's not much past it and it's pretty far from greece than, say, troy or any other nearby nation

[fickle knot]

Carthage was pretty in the middle for the ancient world

[paper timber]

i meant gibraltar

[whole gale]

Navigational ability had to be remarkable to even be able to do all that trading in the meditarian

[mental haven]

Yep, so it seems that the problem is just most of their maps don’t survive to our time

[fickle knot]

Atlantis is probably off the coast of Portugal or further out near the azores or Madeira

[mental haven]

Hell we didn’t even have a great understanding of medieval clothing until we found a dead medieval guy in a swamp

Can’t imagine how much doesn’t survive to today

That’s why historians love the word extant so much

[whole gale]

Then again, we cant be too sure of anything. You can be happy if the information is even accurate in the first place. Often you get many contradicting source if any

[analog depot]

That's half the reason why it's believed to be west of the strait of Gilbratar. The "Pillars of..." Can't remember the name

Ye that's the one, and it's believed to be the points between landmasses is what he's referencing

[karmic ether]

In northeast Brazil archaeologists found evidence of another ancient civilization and are now investigating it, all their buildings were made out of wood so all they left was the foundation to their cities, in the area they also noticed a lot more "useful" trees(like ones that provide food) than in other regions nearby, it' exciting to think about it

[mental haven]

Here’s my knowledge of Ukraine regions from memory, white is first try, yellow is second try, and red is 3+ tries lmfao

To be fair I expected more from Russia

I mean 3-4k sounds reasonable with how many fronts there are, but Ukrainian casualties is fake af

[raw leaf]

This breaks my mind, the cannon barrel would brake, that is some quality design right there

[wide hazel]

it's certainly not going as smoothly as the Russians were probably hoping but I highly doubt Ukraine is doing as well as they claim they are

[limber vault]

The problem is neither side is telling the casualty number

[raw leaf]

Trust me, it won't workl at least not now. We are gonna have to wait a couple of years to get more realistic data that we can avarage

She asked them if he turned off the cam.

And then said that "We're filming without sound".

Thinking that the mic wasn't on.

I wont be supprised if Ukrainian delegation die in some way in next few days.

[whole gale]

Did Zelensky come himself or an representative?

I think there was minister of defense and other staff, but no presidet

but dont quote me on it

If they disappear for any reason Russia gets the blame. They better make sure everyone comes back alive

Damn I identified these cities a lot better than I thought I would

[boreal dock]

To be honest I would not be to supprised to see russia dropping nuke or two on Ukraine.

Who are they to question his excellency and last dictator of Europe kekw

[boreal dock]

I mean putin is crazy, and those around to him are scared or equaly crazy. The main question would be even with order to lauch nuke, will people responsible for launching it, will launch. Russia have terrible track record of launching nukes. At least twice nukes were not launched when ordered.

[worldly plaza]

not the last! right now it's a race!

[scarlet elbow]

пиздец доллар по 100

God I was listening to that stream, Russian side, and it's disgusting. Apparently Russia doesn't want to use missiles excessively to avoid indiscriminate damage to the populace. My god. -.-

[balmy mantle]

So Ukraine win yet ?

[crimson breach]

Yeah, I wouldn’t be surprised too if one of the first thing your gov does post war is build a series of underground bunkers/warehouses to house arms and c&c

[dull shell]

There are negotiations going right now

Tbh I doubt the negotiations will go anyways, Russia will ask for something isnanex ukriane will decline then they will use that as a excuse to escalate further

[balmy mantle]

Big ask

[whole gale]

The best battle is the one you dont have to fight

[bitter stump]

And then Russia claims victory then wait 8 years and do it agian

[scarlet elbow]

No

Putin won't last, no

[whole gale]

Why would Ukraine have to accept that. How about Russian troops return home and the borders stay as they were

[bitter stump]

Putin may not last but his successor may be as bad or worse than him

[scarlet elbow]

he won't be we aren't that stupid

[whole gale]

Will the people have any say into the matter.

[scarlet elbow]

It could but it won't, we shall not let it

[scarlet elbow]

Yes

[whole gale]

They better be.

[scarlet elbow]

Either Putin's presidency time or how is it called ends or there'll be a revolution so there's no one to go against us

[whole gale]

A little regime change 😎

[scarlet elbow]

we do

He's in prison

[scarlet elbow]

but survived at least

[whole gale]

The opposition party in Russia just likes to do fraud and drink poison, you know. It is something putins opposition likes to be doing. You know.

[crimson breach]

He almost got killed and is in prison and just had a totally fair trial

[scarlet elbow]

yeah and even after that we didn't get rid of putin lmao

or was it after most recent election idk

[pallid kestrel]

this reminds me baout the journalist youtuber that got poisoned, was saved in germany and imprisoned once he got back to russia

that thing is just nuts

[wet inlet]

That's him Navalny

[scarlet elbow]

I think that's the one we're talking about if I understand it right

[pallid kestrel]

oh, well that was crazy

I rly wish we could see what it's like on the other side

[dull shell]

There's Iron Curtain on other side

[scarlet elbow]

which side?

[wide hazel]

like how Russia is reporting on the situation

[scarlet elbow]

Russia as in the government or Russia as in the people? Because it's two completely different things by this point

[wide hazel]

both I suppose

[scarlet elbow]

Russian government and mass media (controlled by the government) is trying to justify why this war is okay and a necessity and doesn't even call it a war but rather a special operation

[whole gale]

If anything, got to assume it is going poorly for the Russians. Any success would be broadcast on all their channels for that propaganda. Havent seen anything major on rt and the like.

[scarlet elbow]

Russian people, like me, are completely against the government. Most of us have now turned against Putin, protests all over the country, revolution just waiting to happen

[regal fjord]

Just leave Vladivostok alone ffs

[scarlet elbow]

Yes, yes it is, won't be able to buy bread soon with this economy

[raw leaf]

Not really. Putin just doesn't want any info leaked. Thay have captured a lot of shit but haven't reported it

[wide hazel]

Just how NATO is trying to make it seem like Russia just randomly invaded Ukraine without rhyme nor reason

kind of why I wish it was easier to compare the two

[regal fjord]

BREAKING: Modern media is full of shit! More at 11

[scarlet elbow]

He has no power against younger generations, internet is enough to know what's actually going on
But the propaganda is working against older generations, but it's so bullshit now that it doesn't even work against all of them unlike it did before

[scarlet elbow]

It is like that, Putin invaded Ukraine with no reason

The reasons he gives are full of bullshit

[wide hazel]

uhuh

[whole gale]

Why would they not release some. Seems easier to reveal something than to just keep denying everything and saying all is going great supposedly. They saved Ukraine from the facists or something they claimed.

[regal fjord]

There are strategic reasons that make sense, they just dont justify the invasion

[dull shell]

Putin said he invaded Ukraine to "save the people", but as for now Russian Forces are only killing civilians

[scarlet elbow]

Yeah they call this a liberation of ukraine from nazis :]

[wide hazel]

I think not wanting ballistic missiles and tactical nuclear weapons on your border is a pretty valid reason

[scarlet elbow]

yeah that's what I'm talking about, the reasons are there but they are not nearly enough for anything like war

[marsh seal]

simp detected

[bitter stump]

So then ukriane should invade Russia cause they have all that

[worthy surge]

after seeing the shitshow work that RU has done having a stable logistics supply in 🇺🇦 i have the utmost respect for all LOGI teams in this game

[bitter stump]

Comparing a game to real life

[raw leaf]

I think they aren't claiming the military victories because for them it is not a "war"

[boreal dock]

Dont invide neiboring countries and there will be no neer for such weapons on your borders

[wide hazel]

if Ukraine joined NATO then NATO would have most definitely stuck missiles on the border

[bitter stump]

Good

[scarlet elbow]

Actually I think why not more of the army has surrendered is because they took their smartphones as well as didn't tell them anything, so they only have disinformation and may think like maybe ukraine did something very wrong so that's why they're at war idk
But most definitely feel uneasy for sure

[wide hazel]

the same reason russia doesnt want finland to join nato

[boreal dock]

To be fair a lot of this shit show cant be reproduced in game.

[worthy surge]

If there was any evidence of their claims why would they not present the case at the UN and if substantiated the blue helmets can liberate the Ukrainians from whomever. Would be much harder to criticise the actions if they had done this.

[wide hazel]

are the Baltics even allowed them? my guess would also be the concern of opening even more borders to worry about

have to remember russia is as wealthy as italy with 3x the population and a country the size of a continent

[raw leaf]

Shitlards after seeing this: OmG, sToP iNvaDinG ukRaINe

i rly dont think people realize how small russias population is

[scarlet elbow]

It's shrinking btw :D

[whole gale]

Nowadays it dont matter much where you are. The ICBMs can reach anywhere on earth. 12 targets at once. (MIRVs are the new hip thing)

I swear, peapole who blame russians in general for the war have their head made out of passed out shit

[wide hazel]

its been shrinking since 1917

[scarlet elbow]

Yes

[marsh seal]

" as wealthy as italy with 3x the population" so 3 times poorer then Italy

[limber vault]

Exactly what he said

[mental haven]

There was also a string of events that happened that lowered russias population substantially in the last century

[wide hazel]

sort of my point. the entire world is acting like russia is a massive threat

[boreal dock]

Ukraine also isnt allowed to have nukes. As for other misles, i dont think there are any rulles that would forbid any baltic nation from developing there own cruisemissle if they wanted it

[scarlet elbow]

Yeah, but unfortunately, no matter how wrong they are - there's too many of them ;-;

[wide hazel]

ukraine also isn't part of NATO but if they are truly democratic that could change

[dull shell]

Waiting for SWIFT to be disconnected from Russia for people of Russia to begin barter trading.

[whole gale]

Ukraine didnt ask nor want any nuclear missles. It just wanted to not be invaded by russia

[scarlet elbow]

It is if we have a tyrant like Putin, the country is rich ASF, it's just that none of that goes for the development of the country, it all goes for Putin's needs

[mental haven]

Let’s bring back barter trade across the entire earth it would be funny

[marsh seal]

pretty sure we are well past the point of acting like they are a threat when they are invading another nation

[wide hazel]

i also think russian government is just tired of being pushed around by everyone

[limber vault]

Wasn't allowed, as per one document that was broken by Russian side in 2014

[wide hazel]

they dont even rly have warm water ports

[nimble trail]

Ukraine literally gave up their nukes what would be the point of doing that to just get new ones?

[bitter stump]

Well they are being pushed around more

So thanks Russian government

[mental haven]

Come on guys, stop bullying the Russian government! Donate them your ports ❤️

[wide hazel]

[boreal dock]

Nor does baltic, Skelly was asking if baltic was allowed to have them

[marsh seal]

imagine starting a war over cold boats?!?!

Ukraine doesn't have nukes because they couldn't afford them + tensions

[scarlet elbow]

Yeah real appreciate that Putin that's the best gift for 23rd February bro thanks

Imagine losing a war as a nuclear armed 'superpower' because of some warm water port access or something.

[raw leaf]

Russian economy is ded

[wide hazel]

russia is not a superpower lul

[mental haven]

It’s a shame the Russians didn’t get any new ports in the last 8 years, poor Russian government

[dull shell]

The fuck is this furry warden guy bruh

[mental haven]

They definitely didn’t find themselves in control of any new ports in the last 8 years

[raw leaf]

Allow me to disagree. Economically it is shit, especially now, but military....

[scarlet elbow]

Oh I just realized how big those Ukrainian nazis are, they actually have military and shit
Not nearly the reason to start a war though because that's not the government of nazis

[limber vault]

Some pro Russian guy that tries to justify anything Russia does

[bitter stump]

After 2014 they where integrated into the national guard

Welll it kinda makes the whole nazi government accusation kinda

[mental haven]

Wherever they are

[bitter stump]

After 2014, they have been fighting Russian backed forces so ukriane integrated them into the army

[scarlet elbow]

yeah fuck those they deserve death sentences

[whole gale]

Yes, but does putin and co care? Nazi is whatever the baddies need to be for Russia. Rewrite history if need be :)

[scarlet elbow]

I mean they could thank them for helping but not integrate them into the army?..

[mental haven]

It’s better to keep them in check then have them have free reign I suppose

[wide hazel]

their roughly 61 billion spent on military compared to the roughly 768 billion spent on military by the US?

[bitter stump]

They only operate in the southernish regions of ukriane, they don't really have any influence over the government

[mental haven]

Other than that fuck them I will never side with a nazi

[balmy mantle]

So didn’t know that zelenski was the voice of paddington

[dull shell]

The guy who voiced freaking Paddington Bear is now one of the best Ukrainian Presidents

It is still a lot. And the us military isn't winning wars tho

[balmy mantle]

The best president PERIOD

[limber vault]

You been misled a bit, those aren't Nazis per say, but nationalists, with different thoughts about Nazism

[dull shell]

Every other Ukrainian president would leave country immediately, but Zelensky, he's real leader

[wide hazel]

that's not superpower levels tho

[bitter stump]

🤨

[limber vault]

Basically mostly just patriots

[raw leaf]

3rd most spending in military in the world isn't superpower 😂

[wide hazel]

of course a Ukrainian would say that

[wide hazel]

hence why the US is considered the last superpower in the world

[bitter stump]

They us wins wars, they just don't win gurillea wars, conventional and gurillea wars are 2 diffenet things

[scarlet elbow]

well nazis were patriots as well

a bit too much I would say

[dull shell]

I see you a Russian guy, huh, maybe you'll try justify Russian Army killing civilians with no reason?

[balmy mantle]

[whole gale]

Ultra-nationalism

From a bunker somewhere in Kyiv lmao

[wide hazel]

given the circumstance Russia has done pretty well keeping civilians causalities to a minimum considering they are literally fighting through cities

[scarlet elbow]

so nazi

[raw leaf]

Military soending isn't the full picture. Nukes are relativly cheap and can destroy countries, and manpower is also a factor (china)

[mental haven]

I don’t trust nazis, I don’t care what nation they belong to

[wet inlet]

Bruh he literally armed 20k citizens in a pointless war that's he's dragging out for me people to die

[wide hazel]

and are you also considering armed partisans civilians?

[limber vault]

True, but there's a line between patriotism and nazism

[dull shell]

"Fighting through cities" you mean bombing ambulances on the highway with no cities around?

[wet inlet]

As bad as it sounds it's a matter of time before Ukraine surrenders, so no he's not a "good" president

[wide hazel]

Russia could easily carpet bomb everything if their goal was to kill civies

[dull shell]

Yeah I see you're a true pro-russian propagandist, get back to bunker fascist scum

[scarlet elbow]

but they're ultimately nazi

[dull shell]

They are carpet bombing Kharkiv right now LOL

[limber vault]

Bruh, you wanna get muted for 3 days?

[mental haven]

Nothing is set in stone yet in this conflict

[limber vault]

What makes them Nazi?

[scarlet elbow]

their wiki page

[dull shell]

I dont care being muted for days, It's a fact that russians killing civs all over Ukraine with no reasons, and there cannot be real reason to kill civilians

[mental haven]

They use swastika

[bitter stump]

Cope about it, all you see is dead young Russian guys that invaded a country for nothing

[marsh seal]

"If people stopped defending all they know and love it would be so much easier not to kill them as we bomb their homes"

they are carpet bombing civilians in Kharkiv?

so they don't have a different idea

tbh idea nation sounds pretty nazi

[mental haven]

Azov is an entity which I haven’t got enough data on so I’ll start working on that, but posing with swastikas is enough to make me negatively view them

They were nationalists

National socialism is what the original Nazi party was named from

[pallid kestrel]

I remember the army of Finland being pissed off they had to erase their swaztika like symbols they had on historical vehicles that predated nazi germany. Some symbols used to mean something before they got culturaly charged by nazis.

[bitter stump]

Ultra nationalist actually 🤓

[whole gale]

Nazis do be like that

[last nebula]

Well yeah they did take nationalism about as far as it goes

[whole gale]

The difference in nationalism and ultra-nationalism is whether you are going so far to violently remove the 'outsiders' they are suspicious of

[limber vault]

Yeah, swastika and anything sImilar got hate for nothing, though it's really fun to troll people who use typed swastika to cosplay Nazis by calling then Indians

[last nebula]

True, you can't have nationalism without first having patriotism and you can't have ultra-nationalism without nationalism so in a way everyone is right to some degree

Why'd they lie about capturing them?

[fiery sierra]

no, ukraine said they had all perished

but they had lost communication, so its hard to be sure

[alpine vessel]

it was russian propoganda that they were dead, Dutch news said the were alive

Possible use of cluster munitions in Kharkiv. There was a video posted earlier that showed a Smerch MLRS rocket booster landing in Kharkiv, which can carry cluster munitions.

[alpine vessel]

the like fast firing arty thing

the rockets

[vivid notch]

eh cnn too stated that they "might be alive"

[alpine vessel]

Civillian casualties aswell. bodies missing legs ETC

[boreal dock]

yep, looks like a grad to me to.

[vivid notch]

kinda close but the point is the real story isnt as heroic as they told

also talk failed yea? sad honestly

[wide hazel]

about time

[pale terrace]

Knew they were shelling the city since like 6 hours ago. I remember seeing the posts from the morning

[whole gale]

CNN doesnt have the best reputation in being unbiased and accurate

One of the worst one from my experience

[wide hazel]

what news station isn't biased?

[bitter stump]

Oh that, I mean in general, RT news is malding

[dull shell]

RT saying there are no war in Ukraine

[vivid notch]

link?

thats funny tho if real

[pale terrace]

The only place I'm getting my news is r/Ukraine. It's like the only place where you'll get realtime news, if you can sort through the random shit

[wide hazel]

woops

[whole gale]

AP, Reuters have been trustworthy sources for me. They tend to have high scrutiny of their work.

[dull shell]

They are alive, thats true.

[mental haven]

It’s possible the men they captured are different from the men on the island

[bitter stump]

https://youtu.be/wyaHS6jrhTE

[vivid notch]

now thats cope

[wide hazel]

but the Ukrainian report said they all died honorably

[vivid notch]

but still i take the news which is confirmed to be true

its not like i send every fcking report from RT to here

[crimson breach]

Hah, it’s so fake it’s almost funny

[whole gale]

Then Putin better go and tell the soldiers to haul their asses back to Russia before a war happens

[boreal dock]

No just random heartattacks in span of few days

[dull shell]

Umm.. No? Ukrainian News saying they're alive and currently captured by Russia

[bitter stump]

Cause they lost radio contact with them and didn't know what happens

[wide hazel]

so they just considered them KIA?

[pale terrace]

If the 13 Snake Island heroes are still alive, you realize that's just going to boost morale even more?

[wide hazel]

wew

[wet inlet]

They did say at first they got killed

They showed it even here

[vivid notch]

info war is real

take every news with a truck of vet salt

[mental haven]

It’s still likely that the high capture number isn’t just the guys from the island, I didn’t believe they died when I heard it either

[whole gale]

It would be MIA, KIA would be confimed with bodies

[wide hazel]

they said they were dead

not missing

[dull shell]

They ARE alive, maybe someone dead but mostly of them is alive but now they're captured on Russian Ship

[bitter stump]

I thought it was stupid to die over such a small island

[pale terrace]

Imagine if the Ukranians launched an attack on the ship and freed them

[wide hazel]

with what?

[bitter stump]

Okay ukriane got some wrong, that must mean they are bad right? Russia also haven't confirmed any of their troops have died so yeah....

[pale terrace]

Russian media is grasping at anything to make Ukraine look bad rn tbh

[vivid notch]

the same what ukrainian media does

[mental haven]

They’re literally invading their country

[vivid notch]

thats why i dont take much from kyiv independent and friend

[bitter stump]

Correction, Russian confirmed one death and it was the death of an officer

[vivid notch]

so's RT and co.

[limber vault]

I mean they always did, remember that Boeing that was shut down?

[dull shell]

Bruh

[idle musk]

No russian troops are dead, except the ones we have video and picture confirmation on

[wet inlet]

There's 2 now, some guy from Kalmyk or however it's spelled

[dull shell]

See all Russian Troops in Haaga Court

[wide hazel]

I don't think Russia has made any claims yet

[idle musk]

Yeah they haven't

[vivid notch]

i aint taking news from the state owned media from both countries, unless its confirmed one like peace talks etc

[alpine vessel]

you mean The hague? Theyll come to my country 💀💀

[wide hazel]

we won't know the true numbers until after

[vivid notch]

i dont give a sht about 2-3 confirmed dead bodies, i want to hear about front progress, troops movement etc

[fiery sierra]

Why are you speading Russian propaganda? lol

[bitter stump]

They asked for the link to the RT "civil war" news

So I went and get it

[fiery sierra]

ah, well its RT

[idle musk]

Any numbers can be ignored until after unless you have for instance video confirmation on downed planes. That's the only losses that do really matter now before it's over

[wet inlet]

Yo where'd the covid go tho lmao

[vivid notch]

devs nerfed it

[dull shell]

Then pray that Putin will kill himself in a bunker like Hitler

[mental haven]

Honestly I’m all for unbiased viewpoints but ukraine is the country being invaded right now, I don’t believe any unsubstantiated claims or clear propaganda pieces from either side

[idle musk]

It got removed due to balancing reasons

The Russian MoD said that only officers and contract soldiers are taking part in the operation in Ukraine, not conscripts.

Twitter · Feb 28, 2022, 1:33 PM

[mental haven]

That’s what I been saying (if true)

If false then I still been saying that

[bitter stump]

If these are contract soliders then putin needs to hire better people

[dull shell]

Imagine having this shit flew right into your house
(people that were inside are dead, sadly)

[bitter stump]

Then agian, I doubt its contracted soliders

[bitter stump]

Fake news

That was a trianing pic in 2019

[whole gale]

Conscripts are absolute shit for actual military uses. They dont want to be there and you are giving them weapons.

[wet inlet]

There's a dude with a rifle on the left lol

[wide hazel]

wooooosh

[mental haven]

There’s so much misinformation going around that even the misinformation is misinformation

[fiery sierra]

worked well enough for russia in ww2, just need to motivate them properly

[wet inlet]

I mean they could be using conscripts for hauling supplies, hence why alot of lost and captured Russians around the country

[wide hazel]

it rly didnt

[boreal dock]

Ouh yee, just shoot in the back to those who turn around to retreat

[whole gale]

Wasnt it a russian unit in ukranian uniform getting arrested by the police or something?

[dull shell]

I heard that russian troops in Ukraine doesnt have contract guys right now because they didn't want to fight

[bitter stump]

No it's all fake

[wide hazel]

who knows

[mental haven]

The misinformation is misinformation about previous misinformation, which is misinformation.

[alpine vessel]

yeah there was a video of a BTR surrendering to a Civ dude and giving their positions away

[bitter stump]

That photo is from 2019, just a trianing exercise

[alpine vessel]

he said they didnt even know what they were doing

[north valley]

is the devbranch still up?

[boreal dock]

you mean they were shot there or a bit later? If you wear other side uniform you are not protected and are going to get shot at first oportunity

Russia trades in USD anyways

it can trade in any currency or even gold. They have been shifting their reserves to gold and chinese Yen for a while.

[wide hazel]

they still trade in the majority of USD

[boreal dock]

Ouh man I cant type xD I mean cant traide xD

[wide hazel]

same with china actually

you cant just "forbid someone from using USD"

its a currency, it cant be controlled

[fiery sierra]

well, the larger crypto can be tracked thru the blockchain

[bitter stump]

Probably fake

[fiery sierra]

so sanctions would hit those cooperating/trading with russia

[bitter stump]

RT news is still up

[boreal dock]

Yee, didn't look so impressive, my guess that it would be from combat support batalyon.

[fiery sierra]

Dont spread Visegrad 24, they are pure spam

[bitter stump]

Mhm noted

[whole gale]

They are also freezing the assets of the oligarchs at least whatever they have digitally. Im wondering if any properties they had also being seized if on the list 🤷

[fiery sierra]

like at least RT you can gleam their stuff but get some info out of it. But that Visegrad is like pure garbage. We have had many tweets discussed here that were all fake news from them

[fiery sierra]

problem is if they have property, its probably under a series of shell corporations

[whole gale]

If any are under their name or their family members it would be possible, I though

[fiery sierra]

yes, if its under their name. But if they are that rich they know not to do that.

russia has had sanctions before

they all learned their lesson way back then

[crimson breach]

They are never under there names, even non sanctioned oligarchs and millionaires know not to do that

[whole gale]

The most crippling effect would be the loss in their potential market and potential investors. Companies in Russia can barely find any capital to do anything with.

[dull shell]

Everyone closes trade relations with Russia anyways

[crimson breach]

The real giant load of the effect will be felt by ordinary Russians but that shit travels upwards fast

[fiery sierra]

sadly not everyone

[dull shell]
