-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

Remember when all those ex-spec ops idiots volunteered for Ukraine and then either got got or fled home whining about "russian war doctrine" (being able to contest air superiority)
Laughed my ass off about that canadian sniper who died a few days after arriving. Yeah dude you shoot brown kids and think you're a badass, fuck you
My fav was a western Nazi who tried to stop a couple of Ukrainian conscripts from retreating so they just shot him and kept going.
Once again the Russian blocking units are entirely projection.
Blocking units were real, but didn't shoot people. They were partially a mobile reserve of veterans to shore up the front line if it was weakened, partially for grabbing lost or deserting troops and pointing them to collection areas that would figure out who they were and get them back to their unit, and partially guarding important stuff from any nazies that managed to get through the lines to do recon or sabotage.
Yeah westerners will twist absolutely anything the USSR did. They were effectively just reserve units to plug holes, and somehow that turned into machine guns mowing down their own Asiatic hordes.
NATO occupiers being on the receiving end of aerial superiority will never stop being funny
Then going home to go on a podcast to talk about how "their expertise better suits the war in an advisory position"
Reddit brigade was peak comedy
When that one dude posted on Reddit with location data and got his whole barracks blown up
The war equivalent of robbing a bank and leading the police on a chase straight to your own front door
They had a whole subreddit dedicated to posting their locations!
The Russian military guy they must have had watching the sub was surely laughing his ass off as he forwarded those coordinates
Lmao this person have the marshal baton in their backpack. Marshal Haig's baton, to be precise.
The howling and shidding will be as glorious as this Robert F Williams story:
NSFW language
Really a perfect microcosm for the global South resisting imperialism today. The west goes about committing man made horrors beyond our comprehension, but as soon as foreign powers do anything besides role over and die quickly (Libya, Iraq, Yugoslavia) or, at the very least, remain in a state of perpetual uneven warfare with little meaningful retaliation, they shit and piss themselves. The west doesn't even know what to do about peer warfare in Ukraine other than cry about it and mindlessly escalate, and they're utterly useless in responding to Ansar Allah, Hezbollah, and Iran (when they DO actually act). The west can only bully and lash out at those who are unarmed and weak, but as soon as one of their victims displays true intent and capability of self-defense they cry and play victim. Pathetic.
Absolutely. As soon as the bully gets outnumbered, or stood up against in any way, the tail goes between the legs.
Lmao
Horrible context but still, lol
Russia isn’t playing fair because it isn’t letting me win
Throwback to the dumbass lemmitor who insisted Ukraine had superior training, it just "wasn't suited to fighting against the russian military doctrine". The logic was completely circular.
That was my top voted post on my previous account, early federation was a blast.
