Real good sign your side is winning when you're conscripting a 39yo, especially someone who is arguably way more valuable left helping run your propaganda war on

said his role has helped him prepare for being in on the frontline
What's he going to do, ban Russia from Ukraine? Delete incoming artillery fire?
This is is going to be the rudest awakening since our vets discovered Russia isn't sending unarmed civilians.

Well current government of russian federation is trying to whitewash the facts and alter history history as always. I mean they even have their own name for the war - The “great patriotic war” to hide the fact they’ve been allies with Hitler between 1939 and 1941, so I think it’s quite important to remind them of that. Just look at r/pikabu dweebs downvoting away at a simple historical truth.
And
There are documented instances of soviet squads dressed as Ukrainian freedom fighters during WWII committing warcrimes against civilian population, Poles and Jews to rob them of support from the populace. Good thing about these kind of affairs is that if they get captured they don't get the benefits of Geneva convention.
Please replace the relatively sane soldiers with these guys

I forgot people actually believed shit like this
The only people that know what it is who are anticommunists. The rest don't have a clue.
Liberals of all kinds, even those who are not well-read, believe that Nazism and communism are the same.
I love this quote. What’s even worse though is being technically literate but still so fervently anti-communist that you refuse to even look at Marxist texts. Or, if you do look at them, they just look like gibberish. This is what happened to me when I attempted to read The Communist Manifesto and Capital as a liberal teenager. I got nowhere.
Ehh you usually do, the much better arguments are:
- A ton of other countries had non-aggression pacts with the Nazis
- The Soviets signed theirs after Britain and France shot down an anti-Nazi pact (which would be an example of a pact between allies)
- Your allies don't launch a genocidal invasion of you
Not to
The Soviets and Britain + France were not actual political allies, only really allies in that they eventually fought the same country for a very brief period of time. In the case of France they were never at war with the Nazis simultaneously as the Soviets
Always ask them if they know what is a Czechoslovakia, what happened to it in 1938 and who were the people shaking hands nodding in agreement and then finally happily cheering after it happened.
cutesy internet terminology for "in real life" a play on "cyberspace"
They even use it to say that the Nazis were socialist, actually
Meanwhile Ukrainian Father of the Nation was not only allied to the Nazis, he helped them with the Holocaust and got sent to a concentration camp as a reward.
...Where he got personal slaves and preferental treatment. The he got let out, ordered some massacres, ran to germany, hid in Munich and got a case of Karma in the face.

History is a flat circle
Incoming post about how “triage is an example of means testing working” as he bleeds out with an expectant tag.
My role as a Hexbear moderator is preparing me for the front lines (of a protracted peoples war)
Hilarious, hope he gets droned, cause thats what they think is extremely funny when it happens to russians
Probably will. Russia also has a huge drone warfare operation. They're just not publicized as much as Ukrainian ones.
Because Ukrainians use bomb dropping drones so they can post it online, Russia used fpv drones that just fly towards you and kill you.
Have fun on the front line bozo! Maybe you should've used your role as a mod to push for peace?
If he did that, he would be disappeared by the Ukrainian security services like all the previous critics of Fuhrer Zelensky.
He's no different than Nazi propagandists. He should die. His actions have very likely caused others to die as well. /r/volunteersforukraine
He’s about to realize what happens when you find out all that “objective journalism” you’ve been posting is actually massive cope
Have fun getting sacrificed for the good of the western capitalist death cult
HOW LONG WILL HE LAST?
KEYBOARD WARRIOR TRAINING, DOES IT PREPARE YOU FOR THE REAL THING?
Ukraine has recently stepped up its efforts to replenish soldiers. It lowered the conscription age from 27 to 25
They aren't drafting people under 25?? Most serious war effort
Ukraine's parliament also passed a bill earlier this month that would allow the country's military to recruit prisoners to fight.
"In bad country..."
In August, Zelenskyy fired all of Ukraine's military recruitment chiefs after an investigation revealed they were accepting up to $10,000 in bribes to help people avoid being drafted.
I'm sure there's some level of corruption in any conscription process, but this seems unusual.

I remember near the begining of the war, Redditors were trying to mock Wagner for all being recruited from prisoners.
And how the Tornado company, war criminals so bad they got jailed for atrocities in Donbas by Ukraine itself, got released and get back into army.
Our repentent petty criminals who want to atone by fighting
Vs
Their genocidal war criminal brigade of super murderers and puppy kickers.
The 25+ conscription age is unusual. Isn't it the opposite in most places? You want your soldiers young, dumb, and full of cum as the saying goes. If I'd been conscripted in my early 20s I'd probably have gone along with it as I was an uncritical idiot. It was only after age 25 that I would have probably abandoned my life and gtfo instead of dying in a ditch for some nationalist myth.
The average age of a us infantryman in ww2 was 26 I believe. In Vietnam it was 19 and was kinda noted for being too young. Also in Napoleons grand army the conscription age was 20-25 so long as you weren’t married. Then when you consider special forces guys are all pretty much early to mid 30’s you kinda realize 18-20 year olds in the military are pretty much cannon fodder. A military needs “young” but capable (read life experience) to actually be effective. For example Russia recently upped their minimum age to 21 for that reason pretty much. Especially now that we are definitely in an age where technology is playing a major role in combat.
Ukraine does not have that many men between 18 and 25.

Look at the gigantic dip near the bottom.
Conscripting men between 18 and 25 would not provide many men, while completely destroying that already tiny generation.
wow i wonder what could have happened around the late 80s and early 90s to cause the birth rate to massively decrease as social stability was upended
Interesting. I wonder if they thought that through -- "this war will destroy a generation" has rarely stopped countries from fighting wars.
