    This type of shit has popped up quite a bit these last few weeks and it's genuinely incredible how unserious these foreign combatants take this. They're going to keep doing it too cause clout brain has damaged every neuron that still tingles in these worm infested brains

      This is how disconnected the mainstream and social media has made westerners to reality. They think they can do anything, just imagine it and poof it exists.

      It's because the media convinced them. It's frightening how much media can just create "reality" out of thin air. It's straight out of 1984.

        1984 is a meme, which means it's hilarious to actually live in the anxiety enducing George Orwell book constantly .

        No wonder so many of them actively crave nuclear war because they've already fancied themselves Fallout protagonists where Fallout rules and worldbuilding come true. :agony-minion:

        It's been going on longer than social media. People in the 1980s wrote satirically things to the effect of "Americans can have entire conversations of nothing but film and TV quotes", or even advertising taglines! If you polled Adults on Western countries on a list of like 15 historical events vs film plots, I bet many would struggle to distinguish the films from reality.

      it’s genuinely incredible how unserious these foreign combatants take this

      I mean, they're total amateurs. Its like someone shipped a bunch of Jan 6th Instagram models to the front. I wouldn't be surprised if there were a handful of people in the group telling people to turn off their cell phones, don't take pictuers, don't post shit online. But its not like these dofuses are actually in a command structure or operating out of some kind of play book. Even if only 1 in 10 of them fuck up, that's still an orgy of data for trained Russian intelligence to pounce on.

      Idiot assholes taking selfies exposed Abu Garab among other American war crimes. This isn't something unique to the Reddit Batallion. Its just indicative of how trivialized being a soldier has become in the mind of Americans.

      Cell phones can be incredibly useful - bordering on invaluable - when used discretely and judiciously.

      But yeah, posting geo-tagged selfies to Reddit in full tacticool kit, saying how you're going to personally shoot Mr. Putin Sir is maybe not the smartest move.

    give them a break, those poor brown farmers that they are used to slaughtering, didn't have sophisticated high tech weaponry. Totally new territory for these mercs.

    Why just a screenshot from some dubious source reporting that another source said something? Why not a link to the actual article?

      Real Life is actually a Transformers Movie, but nobody gave you a giant sentient robot armed with Macross missiles.
