War is a fuck but goddamn do these people not understand what it's like to fight an equal enemy? Or god forbid, a more powerful enemy? Maybe the survivors will be jolted out of the propaganda and won't believe it next time......lol yeah right, but let a guy dream
One guy on :reddit-logo: said that all the spec ops people that joined the foreign legion are leaving because of "risk mitigation" and an "unfair fight".
Bruh all these taticool spec ops etterkops have been fighting unfair fights for their entire lives against a bunch of goat farmers, calling in F 16s everytime they feel scared. And now they want to leave? Because it's unfair?
Fokken no ways
lol
What's that old saying? "If you find yourself in a fair fight, you fucked up"?
If every potshot in your direction doesn't immediately get hit by artillery drones and jets it's not fair.
If you don't have an A-10 destroying everything that moves in front of you, time to go risk mitigating
If Ukraine was fielding A-10s their losses would be higher
NATO troop mfs when they can't call in a MOAB strike against every house that might have a shooter inside :pit:
But for real, beyond the former veterans who have never experienced a warzone where their side didn't have complete tactical superiority, people in the global North are generally raised to have an immense feeling of invulnerability, where the very idea of going somewhere dangerous and not being able to rely on a powerful state back home saving their ass if anything goes wrong is unfathomable. On the volunteers sub there's a lot of commentors who believed that they would be allowed to head home with no problem should they choose to, or get captured by Russians.
But slowly these volunteers are gonna realize that Russian bombs don't differentiate between Ukrainians and foreigners wearing an army uniform.
Russia officially announced that foreign mercenaries aren't covered by the laws of war and will be prosecuted as war criminals.
What the fuck are these redditors thinking? The Russian penal system is a bluff?
As much as I want war-mongering chuds to be simply vaporized, I would also enjoy it if a few of them were tried at The Hague
"For the crime of being a redditor, you are hereby sentenced by the International Court of Justice to vaporization.
Please take my verdict, kind stranger."
:wholesome:
:joker-troll: :michael-laugh: :walter-shock:
They really completely gave in to the "Russians hate everything and are deserting en masse" and "Ukranian air force shot down 1000 jets" propaganda
I'm not going to pretend I know exactly what is happening, but I know you don't conscript your own prisoners to fight for you when you're winning
What 75+ years of not having to fight an equal enemy does to a mf
