Foreign mercenaries currently fleeing to Poland after 118 reportedly killed in Russian strike.
"There were soldiers from all over the world, even from the special forces of different countries. The missile ended everything. The entire Ukrainian foreign legion was exterminated.”
lol the Reddit international legion got fucking yeeted straight into the :pit: .
That's kind of what happens when the people you're fighting have air support and tanks.
These bullies only know how to terrorise the weak, now that the shoe is on the other foot we see what happens.
Muh ghost of Kyiv, I can call him in for the airstrikes. Just like call of duty! :so-true:
In reality every air base and surface to air missile system got targeted on day one of the invasion and all Ukraine have now are MANPADS. Ghost of Kyiv was probably taken out by an S-400 surface to air missile system in Belarus 150 miles away.
Ukraine still has some older SAM systems, but they are not as efficient without mutual support.
Nah in Ukraine it's not tactical nukes, you get the tactical bioweapons from the CIA labs in Ukraine.
Farewell to the Bazinga Brigades - 10th March 2022 to 14th March 2022
Still can't believe that I half jokingly predicted half arsed opposite international brigades and then it actually happened. Also can't believe how invincible these people thought they were. C'mon, you're not an FPS protagonist, what were you expecting?
what were you expecting
They were expecting it to be like the War on Terror, unfortunately for them their enemy had modern Russian weapons not leftover 1980s stuff.
All I can think of is Orwell in POUM talking about how all his fellow Brigade members had come with no training (since everyone with training died in WW1) and he spent most of his time drinking, watching no one really make any attempts to attack, and showing people which way a gun was supposed to go until some Fascist shot him in the neck because he never bothered ducking at the parapet.
Meanwhile the Anarchists are giving a pretty good account of themselves.
War is a fuck but goddamn do these people not understand what it's like to fight an equal enemy? Or god forbid, a more powerful enemy? Maybe the survivors will be jolted out of the propaganda and won't believe it next time......lol yeah right, but let a guy dream
One guy on :reddit-logo: said that all the spec ops people that joined the foreign legion are leaving because of "risk mitigation" and an "unfair fight".
Bruh all these taticool spec ops etterkops have been fighting unfair fights for their entire lives against a bunch of goat farmers, calling in F 16s everytime they feel scared. And now they want to leave? Because it's unfair?
Fokken no ways
What's that old saying? "If you find yourself in a fair fight, you fucked up"?
"If I can't call in an f16 airstrike followed by an Apache with hellfire missiles it's unfair!!1"
:wojak-nooo:
If every potshot in your direction doesn't immediately get hit by artillery drones and jets it's not fair.
If you don't have an A-10 destroying everything that moves in front of you, time to go risk mitigating
If you can't call down a B-1B Lancer loaded with 2,000 pound JDAMs on random weddings, it's not a fair fight.
Gotta use the B2s with cruise missiles as well, got to use that stealth aircraft somehow to get the defence contractor grift going
"You can't have an Airforce! Only I can call in airstrikes! If you do it it's unfair and I need to "risk mitigate" and leave the warzone!"
They're actually leaving Ukraine so yeah that's actually accurate lmao
NATO troop mfs when they can't call in a MOAB strike against every house that might have a shooter inside :pit:
But for real, beyond the former veterans who have never experienced a warzone where their side didn't have complete tactical superiority, people in the global North are generally raised to have an immense feeling of invulnerability, where the very idea of going somewhere dangerous and not being able to rely on a powerful state back home saving their ass if anything goes wrong is unfathomable. On the volunteers sub there's a lot of commentors who believed that they would be allowed to head home with no problem should they choose to, or get captured by Russians.
But slowly these volunteers are gonna realize that Russian bombs don't differentiate between Ukrainians and foreigners wearing an army uniform.
allowed to head home with no problem should they choose to, or get captured by Russians.
Russia officially announced that foreign mercenaries aren't covered by the laws of war and will be prosecuted as war criminals.
What the fuck are these redditors thinking? The Russian penal system is a bluff?

As much as I want war-mongering chuds to be simply vaporized, I would also enjoy it if a few of them were tried at The Hague
"For the crime of being a redditor, you are hereby sentenced by the International Court of Justice to vaporization.
Please take my verdict, kind stranger."
They really completely gave in to the "Russians hate everything and are deserting en masse" and "Ukranian air force shot down 1000 jets" propaganda
I'm not going to pretend I know exactly what is happening, but I know you don't conscript your own prisoners to fight for you when you're winning
Fights don't appear so tantalising when you're not terrorising a bunch of brown villagers in a poor country does it? Better be careful, the people you're shooting at aren't cowering eight year old Iraqi children. I hope this foreign legion has an absolutely miserable last days of their lives.
maybe they were selected tweets, but I've read on another msg board all these reactions from these foreign fighters, and they were surprised that they were actually fighting a professional army equipped with high tech weaponry. WTF were they expecting? to be fighting a bunch of farmers with AK47s?
According to the 24/7 media feed they are likely to be consuming, unironically yes. They were expecting scared Russian conscripts herded by commissars and battalions worth of tanks abandoned on the side of the road. Again, that is what they actually believe.
They were expecting to fight a crumbling Russian army full of terrified 18-year-old untrained conscripts while the Ghost of Kyiv shoots down enemy jets as if it was playing Space Invaders, and then after they heroically mowed down fleeing Russians the submissive Ukrainian tradwifes would throw themselves at them while Zelensky himself declares them a hero of Ukraine
An important note: this American is a special ops veteran who completed combat deployments to Afghanistan. He came to Ukraine before Russia's full-scale war on Feb. 24. He is an experienced, well-trained soldier who gave up his lucrative career in the US in order to help Ukraine
lmao owned shoulda started a coffee company
Turns out war is a lot harder when you're not shooting at family parties and kids in school.
Lmao they must think the Russians are what we see in social media, abandonning harware and running away from wholesome zelensky. They are not poorly equipped ISIS fighters, they are a regular army belonging to a world power, of course they are going to get clapped like this.
r*dditors though
Redditors actually thought ghost of Kyiv was real and ended up getting bombed by Russians in Ukraine...
How is any of this real anymore
What do you mean Ukraine has no Airforce? I saw them on CNN shooting down fifty Russian planes!
“My Ukrainian grandfather fought against the Red Army and the Nazis in world war two. Now it’s my turn to help.”
This is the funniest subreddit in existence
What fucking side was he on? If he managed to fight both the Red Army and the Nazis?
They were wierd in that some of them fought the nazis sporadically
yes but also hella nationalist which sometimes conflicted with the genocidal goals of the Nazis. Nazi used them early on as useful idiots.
Good, fuck 'em. I hope this shit ends soon so civilians can stop being fed into the meat grinder. I'll be honest, Putin fucking sucks, but I will be absolutely reveling in the embarrassment to the US and NATO, and to all the fucking liberal and succdum weenies who were pushing pro-Azov and russophobic shit this whole time.
This is the first time I've ever been actually happy to hear about people getting bombed. I
Seriously. Bunch of asshats drooling at the chance to play empire just got a taste of why being anti-war is the correct position unless you're in a war for liberation from a bourgeoisie state.
Plus mercenaries are the lowest form of life and I will be happier in like, a general and lifelong sense any time I hear that one died in violent misery miles away from their home. Here's your fortune, solider.
The bomb that hit them was probably going to be dropped on someone, better Ukraine use these guys as cannon fodder than civilians
It's funny and fitting that these volunteers from NATO countries are receiving the same treatment by the Ukrainian Army (issued with inferior equipment and used as cannon-fodder) that NATO/America gave to troops of their puppet governments in Afghanistan and Iraq.

Yes, I was here today and blown off the top bunk of my bunk bed in the barracks by the first missile. I made a long post about it but my posts don't show on this thread for some reason. This is where all the foreign legion troops are, the 35 killed were all Ukrainian mostly due to a direct hit on their barracks next to mine. The base is destroyed, the weapons depot destroyed, possibly the end of the legion. About 60 people with their heads on straight including myself left after the attack. They're sending untrained guys to the front with little ammo and shit AKs and they're getting killed. The guys who stayed got bombed again in the afternoon and casualties aren't clear. If you still want to to join them I'm not sure what the process will be since literally all the infrastructure supporting the training/assignments of volunteers is all destroyed. The guys who are there now will all be going to Kviv and many will die, the legion is totally outgunned and has a few crazy Ukrainian leaders. After the attack one officer wanted to march everyone to Kviv and fight. Absolute insanity. Stay home.
[Wait, left? From Ukraine?] Left the legion. Some are staying to help refugees - some going home. But it is clear that going to Kviv with the legion is nearly a fucking death sentence. A medic died the day after he got to the front, another guy tried shooting an AK at an APC and was killed immediately (WHERE IS THIS VIDEO?), a 10 man team was nearly wiped out - 8 killed and 2 crawled away. Your body will not be retrieved from the frontlines either.

Yeah morale was pretty good until today. No one thought the base would get bombed due to its proximity to Poland, but after not having any warning of inbound missiles (there's alarm systems all around the base for that), no effort of anti aircraft measures, and then no issuing of weapons when the base was potentially under threat for an attack a lot of people were really just left feeling like no one stands a fucking chance, especially when things get real bad in Kviv.
Yeah it was weird. Some sirens from another part of base went off at 3:30 am for a short period. But the attack occurred at just about 545 with no warning, and they were in fighter jets so it should have been picked up.

Thanks man. The cannon fodder term is what was coming out of a lot of volunteers mouths that's why I mentioned it. There was a real shift in peoples expectations of being utilized as a unit with operational capabilities vs. the reality of basically being bodies in front of the advancing Russians
Yes morale is pretty bad I mean the whole damn base was destroyed and now the legion is just kind of shoving guys with little training to the front. Not at all, they make you sign a contract that states you'll serve until the end of the conflict, but if you want to leave an hour later they totally respect that
I appreciate that. And honestly I got a full nights sleep the bastards hit us at about 6. Luckily they didn't hit at 7 because we would have been at chow and the chow hall took a direct hit.

:thonk:
Seriously these people, so bloody ignorant
My qualifications? Very good at both Hearts of Iron 4 and Shogun 2: Total War.
I'll take double handgun and grenade launcher if we can choose.
Yeah they were just trying to shoot the doors off the APC battlefield style. Then they'd launch the grenade in and take out the evil Russians!
All the HOI4 experience will come in handy for breaking the Russian encirclements at almost every major Eastern Ukrainian city.

That certainly wasn't my intent.
A lot of toxic masculinity is rooted in homophobia, transphobia, and misoginy. The abuses young boys face and inflict on each other tend to follow us into adulthood one way or another.
One incredibly harmful response is contemporary gun culture and all the toxic behaviours and beliefs that go along. Some men would sooner buy a gun that can dislocate a shoulder than introspect on their relationship to gender expectations and performativity.
:shrug-outta-hecks:
I've edited my original comment. It was never my intent to make my comrades feel abused or attacked. You don't have to engage further but I would appreciate your input on the edit, and if it carries the meaning without being mean. Sorry.
This is where all the foreign legion troops are,
They got all the best foreign fighters in a single location? :data-laughing: Wonder of Zelensky will be held responsible for this
the reality of basically being bodies in front of the advancing Russians
“We have more men than they have ammo!”
-Joseph Zelensky
And it's only 6 miles/10km from the Polish border post as well. Couldn't even hide the base away from the point all the foreigners are entering the country from.
About 60 people with their heads on straight including myself left after the attack
Bro you were there to begin with you are just a coward. Follow your fucking leader, redditor.
Yeah no one with their heads on straight went to Ukraine to fight an unwinnable war anyways
Heres my contribution to the dunk tank:
The legion was actually amazingly well-put together in some ways, uniforms were great, armor provided, good food.
Do they supply you with those cool nazi patches too or do you have to bring your own?
"Oh no, the memes, they have failed us!"
War doesn't look quite the same against a real military as when you're kicking down the doors of cowering villagers and shooting up their families now does it?
I hope these dirtbags, many of whom claim to have 'served' in Iraq and Afghanistan, never come home and die screaming painful deaths, and if they must come home it's in wheelchairs with lots of parts missing.
For My Lai, Haditha and every other massacre of civilian life you removed dirtbags.
My god these redditors literally assumed that they would be fighting wind. "What the fuck, did the Russians just blow us up? No fair". Absolute children
another guy tried shooting an AK at an APC and was killed immediately (WHERE IS THIS VIDEO?)
if someone can get me a video of this I will dm them a pic of my tits.
Edit: a bunch of those posts are deleted now
Do they have r/volunteersForRussia too? And if not, why?
Hmm I checked, it's squatted
:youre-laughing: "There's a bunch of spec ops taticool pussheads getting destroyed by Russian airstrikes, and you're laughing. You think this is funny?"

Hey one small thing Murray... When you bring me out, can you introduce me as "Kalibr"? :jokerfication: :jokerfied:
Lmaoooo
I like platypus for the Su-34 ground attack fighter personally.
In combined arms warfare is it important to be able to communicate with everyone so you can efficiently do the job you need to? How many of these people couldn't speak any of the local languages? All of them? It's so stupid to believe you can fight a modern army when you can't even talk to the guy on the radio. :fuck-around:
Judging by the arrogance they’ve already displayed they probably thought the Ukrainians would be speaking English for their benefit
