its crazy that russia lost that 40,000 men on the river bank after running out of guns, ammunition, missiles and currency but yet they still continue to fight on

maybe their war enthusiasm is bugged, paradox?

still waiting to see the metrics by which Russia is losing the war, I heard it was all of them.

Failure to establish a land bridge and water supply to Crimea.
Lughansk oblast remains in the hands of the Ukraine.
Russia's economy collapsed, the ruble is rubble.
Putin no longer considered sexiest man in Russia.
Finland confident enough to put the swastika back on it's airforce.

yeah cause they were going to get a fair shake from the west before this, like the time they asked to join NATO and enter a new and friendly era with the West and they were told to gently caress off and go die in their corner.

**and then the west created a Nazi regime on their border that immediately went about persecuting ethnic Russians lol

***I'm sorry, ethnic Russians amongst other minority populations, the kind which are also unpopular in many other European countries

You're doing it wrong

The key here is to make fun of russia losing and eating poo poo, but leave enough space for you to say 'dang I knew they would win this what a shame' when/if they turn things around.

I am calling them a caribou harasser not because they are finnish, some of whom are undoubtedly fine people, but because of their love for NATO, because NATO has a well documented history of bothering and disturbing the noble beasts.

NATO's Invasion: Air Combat Training and its Impact on the Innu

https://www.culturalsurvival.org/publications/cultural-survival-quarterly/natos-invasion-air-combat-training-and-its-impact-innu

Innu Women and NATO: The Occupation of Nitassinan
https://www.culturalsurvival.org/publications/cultural-survival-quarterly/innu-women-and-nato-occupation-nitassinan

“The low-level flights create terrifying, ear-splitting booms that shatter the otherwise unbroken peace of the north woods. It's said that the natural reflex to throw one's self down upon the ground and lie there for several minutes dumbfounded and shaking from every limb is basically unavoidable. This is a war on the senses. Significant studies have shown that buzzing has devastating effects on the hearing, nervous system, and metabolism of most species living within the northern ecosystem.

The impact on humans is what we can feel. The impact on the caribou hers, the beaver, the fish, the geese, and all the animals on which the Innu rely is what the Innu are fighting. The Innu are totally dependent upon the fragile northern ecosystem. The George River caribou herd, the largest migratory mammal herd in North America (estimated at more than half a million animals), shares this ecosystem with the Innu. The Innu are desperately concerned about the impact of the military on the herd. They say the animals are suffering. "The herd has stopped growing," says biologist Stu Luttich, who has studied the herd for over 15 years. "Mortality rates are increasing and the birth rate is declining." Caribou weakened by stress are easy prey for bears and wolves. The buzzing is creating stress in the herd. That constant stress is also what the Innu are fighting."

"The militarization, that's what you have to fight," says Francesca Snow. "They will destroy the land, they will destroy the animals, and they will destroy your life." When the animals are destroyed, the people are forced off the land, into wage work and into welfare, and the very soul of the community is destroyed. Father Alexis Jouveneau, a priest who has lived with the Innu for many years, says that the people must be allowed to continue their way of life on the land. Jouveneau issued a warning to the Canadian government: "You are destroying not only their lifestyle, you are destroying their whole life so that you may proceed with military exercises. At that point, you might as well build a psychiatric clinic right here, and it will soon be overfilled." If the military goes ahead, says Innu elder Antione Malec, "You will not see us cry, We will not cry. But our hearts will bleed."

Also isn't that "Merkel was a *friend to Russia" statement straight out of the Azov playbook? The whole narrative that the Minsk Agreements supported by Merkel (which as was discussed previously negotiated by the west in bad faith and persistently violated by Ukraine and their western allies) was a horrible injustice to the Ukrainian government and a betrayal by the people who pushed it onto Ukraine? I've never heard anyone claim Merkel being *friendly to Russia outside of those circles..

**I'll clarify that what's his name said buddy, not ally.. Still, my point is you should re-examine some of your views on what exactly was going on in Europe in the lead up to this war.

***granted that since the start of the war, this narrative seems to have been picked up from the most militaristic segments of Ukrainian society and broadcasted everywhere by their government, so i guess it's been normalized to some extent.
