by the way, russia has upgraded its military music video production to now include opera divas in drag makeup singing about the spetsnaz.

this doesn't come across as gay at all to them either

Hello are you familiar with the works of Verska Serduchka https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Am5AEPHd6k

There's also one for Ukraine under pretty much under the same theme https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lxkMBansplg

what's interesting about the natalia samoilova video to me is that it feels like it's expressing an ease and confidence. there's a ratty old soviet-era helicopter in the background but the troops have new gear and are training as professional operator types

it's restrained but towards the end you see a shot of the russian flag on a commando's sleeve, and then they casually rack their weapons, and natalia knowingly looks at the camera like :smugdog:

actually decent analysis on ukraine

https://www.themoscowtimes.com/2021/04/03/russian-military-build-up-near-ukraine-is-an-intimidation-tactic-a73461


quote:

the movements are being made in a decidedly visible manner. In other words, they are intended to be seen, and are less indicative of preparation for a covert attack. The Russian military could be doing far more to conceal preparations or troop movements were this their objective. Nor do they appear to be of the size commensurate with a major military operation, although the present picture is incomplete as some Russian units are still on the move while others have begun drilling. Consequently, these overt shifts in military posture and readiness appear to be primarily coercive and demonstrative in nature.

The standing hypothesis for why Russia might conduct offensive operations are not especially explanative.

Almost annually, a theory has been floated that Russia intends to seize Ukraine’s Kherson Oblast because of the water crisis in Crimea. The root cause is the shutoff water canal running from the Dnepr, compounded by recent droughts.

This notion has superficial appeal, but the operation would require a sizable force to deploy and occupy Kherson, which would then generate a new set of dilemmas in supplying and managing another fragmented region. Despite its low likelihood, this idea has been trotted out with some frequency, just like the supposed “land bridge to Crimea” operation that Russia never executed (instead building an actual bridge). These proclamations, a form of crying wolf, have proven unhelpful over the years. They have gained new life as Russia deployed an unusually large force into Crimea in recent days, consisting of 58th Army elements, and VDV airborne.

Ukrainian pronouncements had also been somewhat contradictory, raising the threat of escalation, while at the same time claiming that this was Russian baiting, a provocation to which they would not react. Hence Ukrainian forces have shown some movement, but generally do not appear to be responding to this Russian deployment in a manner that suggests they are preparing for war.

I watched all the videos on this page, and watched the paratrooper video again. I still like the paratrooper video the best.

It feels like an amateur music video ordered by the division commander, sang by a Russian R. Lee Ermey drill sergeant type, and clearly shot by a consumer grade camera. It has no an ounce of irony that's why I like it. The song is also the catchiest.

You're right that I'm consistent, I'm not gonna deny that. My issue is with something that happens here (and not just here but, you know, that's where we are) pretty regularly and I've always thought that, yes, it should be dismissed. It's very stupid. A person who takes it seriously is a very stupid person.

What I'm talking about is, people cherry pick a few of the most ridiculous examples of something that disagrees with their ideology, frame it as if it's representative of all disagreement, then do a whole song and dance about disagreeing with the world's easiest target who is barely representative of anything that matters.

It's the same thing you get from the Shapiros and Crowders. The point isn't to actually, you know, do anything it's just to 'own' someone to feel good about what you believe without any of the hard work. And if you act like it's representative of your disagreement then you never ever actually do have to do the work anyway, your ideology is completely safe. That's what I mean by crazy uncle's facebook, you know the uncle who has these weird conflicting ideas of how everyone who disagrees with him, everyone left of Mussolini is some effeminate caricature with green hair, but also super spooky antifa (which he never really defines.) Except here it gets to be a whole echo chamber of it. They're all the caricature to him, so no one who disagrees with him can ever actually be right about anything, so they can dismiss them out of hand. It's the most unbelievably smug thing, so excuse me for sounding smug back.

Or... Huffing your own farts...

I, also, think Vaush is incredibly dumb. Nobody likes Vaush. This is Vaush

I'm not gonna get worked about about the anarcho-bidenists because youtube guy is dumb. It's less about agreeing or disagreeing with him than the way disagreeing with him is being used.

You can call it me being smug but I actually, honestly think it's a giant problem with the way shits talked about online now. I'm not so cynical that I believe people are really unaware, at least not here, so that leaves me with assuming some kind of bad faith.

as long as the West keeps calling the fishermen in the South China Sea as "maritime militia", then China is always going to be able to claim that "we don't have any maritime militia in those waters, we don't have anyone that needs to leave, I don't know what you're talking about"
