      They don’t care. Russians will send every living being they can get their hands on to the grinder if that means they “win”.

      It’s the Russian way.

        Unfortunately for #Ruzzia, the US has been developing its weapon systems over the last 60 years for that exact scenario.

        Shit is going to get wild in a few months when the F-16s start eradicating Russia’s air defenses.

        Those were eliminated on day one when Ukraine shot down an airplane full of them because Russians forgot air defense is a thing to take out before you send in limited resources.

        The rest of them? Vlad got drunk and wound up on the front line instead of the drunk tank.

      The USSR was a superpower. The Russian Federation is a mafia-ran gas station with nukes.

      They are praticing keeping their population calm and supportive no matter how rediculous the losses. And they are very successful at that. So they know they can send more millions to die for the smallest gains.

      No one is deluded. Russians know shit like this is fake propaganda. Their leaders know the people know. So why keep up the pretense? Because now the people don’t trust the media and assume all of them are liars, including Western sources. Look at all the stories of Soviet citizens defecting or visiting the US and being stunned that the grocery stores were actually full and not just US lies.

      An exercise for the student: Have you seen this sort of thing happening in America?

      (Hint: Our last President literally said, “Just remember, what you are seeing and what you are reading is not what’s happening,” Trump said. “Just stick with us, don’t believe the crap you see from these people, the fake news.”

        The audience for this is ethnic Russians in the Baltic countries. They want those folks to cause trouble even if they have no intention to do anything about it. Around of a quarter of Latvia and Estonia are ethnic Russians.

          ü not y, or ue if have no umlaut on your keyboard.

          Also 90 years later nothing changed and the far-right still use the exact same narrative, they just sometimes vary by calling is state or system media… as they are -like all good populists nowadays- pretending to fighting the evil democratic system to free all those poor oppressed citizens.

              Populists have only exactly one playbook they all follow…

              That’s also the reason we constantly have déjà vus when looking at different countries. Doesn’t matter if it’s Hungary’s government, Poland’s (luckily soon to be gone) government, German AfD, US republicans or whoever, they all operate similiar. Also even if there are very obvious superficial differences that should bring them to different side of certain topics, they somehow manage to be best friends all the time. Because they are one big club united in fighting democracy to gain power.

    If the subtitles are correct, lose the quotation marks in your title. That’s the gist of what he’s saying but you’re misquoting this douche and that helps no one

    In that case it is an immensely impressive amount of practice.

    I never could go to the gum for two weeks in a row, they are already at it for almost two years!
