Russians are employing this dastardly new technology called “mines” which no army on earth has encountered before, least of all those of the NATO members like France, Germany and the UK.

          One night I went down the youtube rabbit hole of dudes in full plate showing off their mobility. One dude even swam for a short time doing a sorta breast stroke thing.

              Funny you should mention that. They chose still water, had a guide line, and backup. However! Crypto fash dipshit Varg Vikarness tried the same stunt with chain mail. In a river. Nearly drowned his dumbass.

                Varg “I killed a gay man and I don’t regret it” Vikarness? Varg “Burn Down a Church, Kill A Firefighter” Vikarness? Varg “Make A Really Shitty And Tedious TTRPG” Vikarness? You’re telling me Varg Vikarness did something fucking stupid? I am hearing this now for the first time.
                The last of the three is the least of his many shitty things But this review of it is pretty good
