People don't want to die in a ditch for the interests of some dudes that sit in comfortable chairs and just watch? Those are worldolds
i love reading the comments on posts like these :3
What's with all the "cope" comments?
I'm shocked by how many people genuinely don't understand the difference between is and ought
Same, all the impotent hostility of a wasp hive in a hydraulic press

He said he chose to desert after realising how perfunctory and ineffective his training was for real combat, and that he would inevitably become a front-line stormtrooper with no chances of survival.
“There’s zero training. They don’t care that I won’t survive the very first attack,” Tymofey said, referring to the drill sergeants who were training him in April after police rounded him up in central Kyiv.
He claimed that his trainers were mostly preoccupied with preventing desertions from the centre, which was surrounded by a 3-metre (9.8 ft) high concrete wall covered with barbed wire.

“Even in Russia, there aren’t that many soldiers going AWOL,” Valentyn Manko, top commander of storm troops, told the Ukrainian Pravda on Saturday.
Yeah no, that is bullshit. Wherever there is war, there is desertion. Nobody wants to die for their country.
Funny how this is the only source for the claim.
"AlJazeera is Hamas Ruzzian propaganda!!"
World news Lemmy definitely has a pro Russia, anti Ukraine bias. Cherry picked articles every day.
I can't imagine why anyone would want Ukraine to fail so badly or celebrate any negative press about them unless they're a paid Russian troll.
People "want Ukraine to fail so badly" and therefore celebrating negative press, because IT IS failing so badly. And for some, like me, this was clear from day one, that is to say 22nd February 2014. And it was clear from the get go that it didn't even stand a remote chance by 2022, despite heavy weapons support from NATO, which means, NATO is now failing badly as well.
And I'm part of those nations so I'm not happy about seeing my nation's economy fail and keep failing worse and worse, while everyone here is still heading West while it should be looking East if it wants economic progress.
In fact, I'd argue that even Russia is still looking way too much Westwards.
The global pace of cultural change towards socialism at this moment is at a snail's pace while economically socialist China has already won hands down and is only advancing further at an accelerating rapid pace while even it's neighbors are pretending that this is some kind of fluke that will magically disappear and they can just ignore it and even aim for further capitalism.
It's complete madness.
This is utter destruction for Ukraine and be extremely costly for the EU, the UK and to a lesser extend the US.
And it's not even the only mistake we're making in the EU, because we're currently making costly mistake after costly mistake.
And the longer you're losing touch with reality, the harder and faster reality will catch up with you.
It happened in Hong Kong and it will happen in Ukraine too.
And in a few years we'll be seeing countries turn around towards socialism with Chinese characteristics, because the China's success isn't going to be isolated for much longer.
But have you tried crying about it?
Do you think that sharing news of how the war is going is somehow changing the outcomes? Do you think that not talking about it will somehow change the outcomes? Is this some kind of exercise in wishcasting to your eyes? Are you really so egomaniacal as to believe that people could only possibly disagree with you if they're being paid to do so?
