The Russian Military won’t “be” after Ukraine. Wtf are you even talking about?

[–] REEEEvolution@lemmygrad.ml 5 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Considering how Russia is:

  1. clearly winning
  2. Having about 1/10 of the losses of Ukraine

I assume that you do not know what you're talking about.

Having about 1/10 of the losses of Ukraine

Source? I don't think this one is true..

Libertarianfellowship.org LMAO

[–] bobr@lemmy.libertarianfellowship.org 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Doesn't look like source :)

[–] multi_regime_enjoyer@lemmy.ml -3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Yeah you guys ask for a source when someone says fucking kids is wrong. Hard pass.

I think you missed this time. Regardless of cringy instance, Bobr seems to be Ukrainian living in Poland and posts plenty of criticism of the ukronazi government. And to be fair assertions like 10/1 losses in a war do require some evidence, just as the never proven in 2,5 years of war assertions of Russian army using the human wave attacks was also required but never provided even in single case. I think 10 to 1 figure was not about losses but about advantage in artillery. Losses are also much higher for Ukraine but i don't think this much higher, i didn't seen any calculations (or at least not believable ones) in some time.

If I am really desperate for libertarian criticism of the Ukronazis I can go to Telegram, winning the psywar is not my concern, discussions which will actually be good for my brain are.

In fact many people who claim to be Marxists can often be spotted making the "my tax dollars!!!" Or "bad bang for our buck" objection to funding the war.

So I made a joke, sue me. Claims he avoided Lemmy.ml because he thinks it is a circlejerk. I am a one man refutation of this. Go ahead and try to get me to circlejerk I won't do it.

Even mainstream western media now openly admits that Russian military has gotten far stronger. Yet, here you are...

[–] futatorius@lemm.ee -1 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Like the Russian Baltic fleet has been battle-hardened by its contact with the ocean floor.

[–] yogthos@lemmy.ml 2 points 3 weeks ago

Ah yes, Russian Baltic fleet was famously destroyed in the imaginary universe that you inhabit.

beat to hell is not battle hardened

[–] yogthos@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Nobody with a functioning brain thinks Russian army is beat to hell. Certainly not a single western military person is saying this. I guess I can see why you'd think this is the case if you've just been guzzling propaganda for the past two years uncritically though.

Nobody with a functioning brain thinks Russian army is beat to hell.

I have heard Western military people say this, in person. It doesn't mean Russia is not still a threat, but their capabilities have been degraded during the two years of the "easy 2-week war."

If they're doing so well, why haven't they been able to defeat a country with a population a tenth that of Russia?

Even more, if they're expected to engage in another sustained campaign, who's going to be fighting it? They can barely keep their conscription pipeline full now. Who's going to sign up to sacrifice themselves in Meat Grinder round 2?

Why would you go back to a two week old post just to be completely wrong about everything? 😂
