        There are 100% bot farms working on reddit to boost pro-american foriegn policy narratives and to downvote counter-narratives

          Yeah , one guy wrote Russian cannot lose and he was downvoted and attacked. Seems to me reddit is just full of CIA bots playing themselves. Where as when I watched BBC News YT comments about Putin… It was clearly pro Russia and critical of BBC for failed journalism.

        At this point I’m honestly starting to wonder if no education at all is actually better than the American education system.

        As a Canadian, it’s a western thing in general (though the US is the most glaring example of it). An increasing number of people know better, and I do think reddit is full of CIA- but the honest truth also is that there’s also a sizable portion, or perhaps even a dominant majority (it becomes difficult to tell sometimes) who really believe all this shit.

        Western chauvinism is a hell of a drug. Think about how white-worshipping, west-idealizing people are, then consider how bad those who are actually white and western and who buy into all of it just as badly or worse are- that’ll give you an idea. And it gets worse- a sizable amount of even the occasionally dissenting voices are still part of this mentality in varying degrees, since it crosses the partisan divide.

    Will Russia have it in a few years?

    Lmao, Avdeevka was a full on route, soldiers were abandonig their positions contrary to their orders. This could end in a few months, and at this rate could even be a few weeks (tho I doubt so but you never know)

      This could end in a few months

      And then begins the slow and tedious counter-terrorist phase. Look at the second Chechnya war and the subsequent events

    They do realize if WW3 does happen they will be drafted, right? Like, they’re frothing at the mouth for it but I don’t think they know they themselves will be fed into the war machine.

      It’s always everyone else that will be affected. Never them. This is what individualism has done to them. They have no concept of being part of society. They are separated from it and the only way to get through to them that they are all part of the same society is to bash them in the head with it.

        It’s just so hard to empathize with such a narrow point of view. These people are too old to lack such critical awareness that other human beings roam this earth with full lives and dreams. I just don’t get it. I don’t think I will ever understand redditors…

          As long as they can continue to live relatively cushy lives, they’ll keep having this “fuck you, got mine” attitude while espousing their so called virtues

      usians have this vision of a war that it is like going safari with the boys, going to some “shithole country” to shot some <third worlder racial slur>, crack open a cold one and have a bbq + manifest destiny that they are god’s unmatched army and they win easily and doesn’t cross their minds that war can happen in the home land, always on the attack.

        You’d think they’d have figured out they’re not invincible after getting one paper cut, but I guess not.

      It’s like being a monarchist who works in retail. They think they’ll be king when their revolution happens, completely oblivious to their predetermined role as serf.

    Wasn’t one of the Ukrainian news outlets called Putin propaganda because they started to report losses? Redditors went full on “I only want to see the positive news” lol

    I gotta double- no triple down on the Pro-Russia stance now that Zelenskyy went to Israel and Russia called for Israel to ceasefire. Pro Russia as in them winning Donbas. The country of Russia has a long way to go, but NATO needs a swift kick to the nads every now and then

      Hell, I hope Russia liberates as far as Kiev. Whatever remains is guaranteed to be a Nazi-infested, thoroughly Blackrock-owned hellhole, after all- frankly, the Ukranians should be fighting to join Russia if they know what’s good for them.
