Your son is pretending to be a catboy on the internet with his leftist friends.
My son is trapped in Ukraine as a human meat shield.
We are not the same.
pretending to be a catboy on the internet with his leftist friends
I fuckin' wish.
My coworker half-jokingly half-seriously is thinking about volunteering for Ukraine. I told them it’s not worth it to get blown up by a Russian cruise missile, and all they did was talk about how good Ukrainian air defense is.
It’s so good that planes with engines evolved from late-WW2 Nazi turboprop studies were overflying Ukrainian cities on the opening night of the conflict. Nothing says “I have my airspace under control” than fucking prop engined strategic heavy bombers cruising around like they’re in international airspace.
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.
Bro I had fucking thirteen cruise missiles drop on me this morning I am not fucking around. I saw them pulling bodies from the wreckage, I was blown on my ass, I can tell you that the air raid siren did not go off meaning the legion has little to no radar support and absolutely no AA capability. We were at the mercy of Russian warplanes.
edit lol: found another redditor who was there with the same story, it really was the fucking narwhal bacon brigade
It’s a fucking trap! That base got fucked,They told us that there were no planes overhead and that it was all just cruise missiles and that they shot some down all this shit,Bullshit,The air raid alarm didn’t go off we got woken up by a fucking missile hitting the building beside us,They’re lying to everyone to make them self look good,For fuck sake they’re giving boys scorpions as a secondary and telling them to get the ammo from dead Russians, It’s all fucked,Stay home and fight smarter or wait until NATO get involved and they have some structure
they’re giving boys scorpions as a secondary
Any idea what that means?
It's a Czech submachine gun that fires pistol caliber rounds. Essentially useless at range and not terribly effective against body armor.
They’ll probably just say it’s fake news but if they bring it up again I’ll try
how good Ukrainian air defense is.
It's so good the Russians are able to put missiles anywhere they want in the Ukraine.
Well Russians did agree with Zelensky and established a No fly Zone because they were scared of the Ghost of Kiev
Just fucking surrender already. Your dumb ass is not going to win lol
"The nazis hiding out with him will kill him if he surrenders" is the narrative they were pushing last week. So it's DO or DIE for zelensky and he's taking tens of thousands of innocents down with him and quite possibly all of humanity. :doomer:
Zelensky has an SNL spot and the corporate motivational speaker circuit ready and waiting for him in the Great Satan, my man needs to pack it in and go talk to some dweebs at Microsoft
People here even pushed that. Like even if true there are so many civilians dead now because of the choice to keep fighting
I’m both excited, that the world is slowly transitioning away from the US dollar and also concerned how it will impact me and my daily life domestically
I expect that's a pretty common sentiment among the US left rn. Happy to watch the empire keep shooting itself in the ass but sucks to have to struggle even more to survive in a collapsing empire hellworld. As usual, working class people gonna be the ones to suffer the first and the worst. Yay capitalism and US hegemony!!
If it makes you feel any better (it won't) the best time to ever live in the UK was immediately after their global empire collapsed.
That won't happen here, but, you know. It could. (it won't)
UN top court orders Russia to cease hostilities in Ukraine
The International Court of Justice has ordered Russia to stop hostilities in Ukraine, granting a provisional measure requested by Kyiv.
Mods!! Mods!!!!!
When Yugoslavia turned to this circus of a court to stop the NATO bombings in 1999 the the court claimed it had no jurisdiction. [ x ]
Ukrainewarts thinks that laws are magic spells. They declare no-fly-zone and cast the international court charm.
I radioed for help but no one on there spoke English (only a few of us in the unit spoke any Ukrainian but I wasn’t one of them). I had to pull up Google Translate on my phone but it was severely cracked from all the debris from the explosions. I was able to translate “I need the Ghost of Kyiv at [coordinates]” (I had to use Google Maps for that). I don’t know what the Ukrainians replied with, but I sat in the ditch waiting for an air strike on the location for about 30 minutes but nothing happened.
:michael-laugh:
Porky guy with adidas running shoes and a weird white spiral patch on his vest.
I stopped by a guy on the ground - I think he was American - to grab the radio given to us. I think he assumed I was trying to save him because he gestured me off and said “leave me, just go!” Anyway, I did go and ran for about 10 minutes and hid in a ditch.

Luckily I came by a car and stopped it. It was driven by a combat aged male (looked 25-30), but he didn’t have any weapons, gear, or uniform on him so I suspected it was a Russian saboteur trying to infiltrate the city. I forced him out the car and zip tied him to the bike rack
:data-laughing:
Spoke to someone who was planning to do pro-Ukraine activism. They didn't even know who Azov are. Very cool and informed public.
It's extremely weird how during the Syria crisis, the UK simply didn't have any room for any refugees fleeing from war, we were full up, but now that Ukrainians are fleeing from war, there's plenty of room for them to come! Theresa and Boris must have built a ton of houses between now and then!
It's heartening to know that during the next war in a non-white country, such as Iran if the US invades, we'll finally have enough room to take them in this time.
It's the hypocritical (well, not really hypocritical as they obviously didn't believe in it in the first place, it was just racist) discourse by conservatives I was referring to, not the public policy.
Lavrov sees “some hope” for reaching a compromise in the negotiations between Moscow and Kyiv to end the war, according to local media.
GET THERE ALREADY YOU BASTARDS, END THIS HORROR SHOW
Everyone who isn't lying or being lied to knew this would happen eventually if US/nato kept pushing
This guy being interviewed thought it was the best outcome, so long as Ukraine could "win". (Apparently he thought Ukraine could "win"?) :what-the-hell:
Heartwarming! Former Azov Battalion freedom fighters of Ukraine, now full-fledged US citizens swear citizenship oath at Disney's Galaxy's Edge themepark, welcomed as full members of the rebel alliance.
the bazinga brigade proves to me we really do live in the fucking dumbest, most tragicomedy timeline. and all you can do is laugh
Listening to Biden talk about how much the US is spending to assist Ukraine:yea:
Fix domestic problems and alleviate poverty: nah
Spend billions to arm some Slavic Nazis on the other side of the globe in a conflict that should mean nothing to 99% of Americans: oh hell yeah!
Hey those free vaccines and test kits? No more. Ukraine needs another billion in lethal aide.

Corbyn antisemitism and russiagater freak is now openly praising Azov, including quoting their use of racial slurs, and fighting anyone in the replies who calls the nazi battalion a nazi battalion.
she is also extremely online, looking through her feed is like staring into the abyss.
just checked, she has 81k tweets since 2009, average of 18 tweets per day
Louise Mensch brings back memories of how I spent 2016 being too online.
