    Of course they pick the racialized "tribal" orcs instead of Tolkien's militaristic, industrial orcs.

      In fairness, Tolkien orcs are less "recognizable" than what people usually think (big, green, strong).

      Even then, they could have used the Warhammer Orcs.

        The warhammer orks are the good guys, though, so that would ruin the whole message! WAAGGGGGGGHHHHHH

    Lmao, this propaganda is so blatant and weak. It's like the same old timey shit we get every war. Libs haven't evolved.

    why did the CIA let the Ukraine gov direct propaganda efforts. are they being lazy or what because clearly the ukraine stuff isn't up to snuff (ghost of kiev, bucha massacre, snake island lies, etc). all of it was way too easily debunked.

      all the boomer mormons are retiring and now the zoomer CIA operatives cannot manufacture a consent because all they know is charge drone, eat hot chip, be a sigma male and lie :sadness-abysmal:

      It’s always been lazy writing, you just started noticing it now that you put the sunglasses on.

        kind of late but I stumbled on this looking for something else. The Ukrainians rolled up in Bucha and started celebrating about the Russians leaving for a couple of days and none of them, not even the news, mentioned dozens of people executed in handcuffs and dumped in the streets that we were told were everywhere in broad daylight. Only a couple days later, AFTER they announced they'd be doing security sweeps to find Russian sympathizers, did a bunch of bodies appear littering the streets.

        The satellite image provided, which was claimed to have been from March 19th, 2 weeks before the Ukrainians arrived, had no metadata to prove the time/date it was taken. Not only that, but the bodies appeared to be much, much fresher than corpses left out in the sun for 2 weeks, and the satellite company refused to sell any other pictures taken AFTER the claimed date. People from OSINT and GEOINT analyzed the satellite image and determined it must have been taken on April 1st because the positions of the shadows and the recent rainfall in the image that could only have been from the storm which occurred from March 31st to April 1st.

      i will delight liberals with my new drink, 1 pt. bourbon, 1 pt. sprite, 1 pt. cheeto dust, garnished with a yellow mop. I call it "le Drumpf" :cheeto-man:

      Edit: They can make a drinking game out of it, yelling "he's finished" after every glass. and if you don't say "he's finished", you have to take your shirt off like Putin :so-true:

        You're right, but OP was referring to an alcoholic drink called a "White Russian," which if I remember correctly is a mix of Vodka, a coffee liquor like Kalua, and either a cream liquor like Baileys or just straight cream.

    The orcs aren't even the ones in charge in lotr, they're just footsoldiers. They're Warcraft stylized orcs, but that makes even less sense! The orcs in warcraft aren't mindless, they're also not portrayed as the "bad guys".

    Sorry sweaty but you need to retitle your post. Putin is white, and by definition, it's impossible to be racist against white people.

    It's the same shit as always. Russia loses an ammo Depot and some old planes... They're over. Finished. Done. Haha.

    Ukraine loses 25% of it's land, dozens of depots, command posts, thousands of tanks. They're winning. Victory imminent.

    Same thing with china of course. They have a bank being assholes. Communism is finished. Ssseeeseepee over.

    America has its ninth once in a lifetime financial crash in the last 20 years. Capitalism is stronger than ever. Liberal democracy baby

      The Ukraine-is-Winning news isn't all fluff. Hitting deep into Crimea is a bfd for Russian security. It signals that the stakes are rising and a much broader region is at risk of collapse. The war is escalating in both size and scope. I won't be surprised to hear about attacks inside the Russian or Belarusian border. Or reprisals in Poland and Lithuania. If shit gets really bad, Scandinavians may even get drawn in.

      In much the same way that the Iraq War began with this pointed assault on Baghdad, only to inflame and spread until it was spitting off civil wars all the way out to North Africa, this looks like a coal-seem fire that will just keep burning and propagating for decades. We're going to turn all of Eastern Europe into Silent Hill.

        I'm definitely not claiming it's not a big deal rather pointing out that to the imperial core it is the only big deal. That is to say Russian/Chinese/Iranian/etc failures are painted as sure signs of their incompetence or failure while any such failures, or often even larger ones, on the side of "the good guys" are treated as totally inconsequential.

        Which is as you say part of making everything worse. the fighting will continue. If attacks on Russia continue attacks on Ukraine will continue and so on. And of course those who suffer will be the workers who can't just fly away in their jets.

    Did this orc meme (the broader one) come from the bullet-greasing post referencing "Chechen orcs"?
