the russians are not going to kill themselves. Tried that during the 90s and they survived. someone has to be the hero who goes home with a scrambled braincase and missing limbs if we are going to do things the hard way.

turns out that the default position of liberal states (which includes Russia, Ukraine, US, France, and all NATO countries) is war so anyone claiming they are in favor of "peace" is obviously just a troll attempting to prolong the war.

:carol: warning, disgusting weeb piece of trash post incoming :carol:

so yesterday I saw that there was going to be an anime adaptation of a romcom where the titular cute girl speaks russian. Now of course, nobody should give much of a poo poo about that but it's just that last year just when, you know, the ongoing bullshit was starting, another anime had one member of the cast get her nationality changed from Russian to Bulgarian. So it is with a heavy heart that Zelenskyiyiyiy is going to have to announce having lost the critical support of the weebs.

also, funnily enough, the voice actress they picked is a confirmed tankie :



you can also make stuff go faster which helps in defeating tank armor with you know, kinetic energy

the manga was very trashy but the main guy learning russian because his grandpa loved soviet cinema and made him watch was good

This is not about a real person. It's ticking boxes of things Redditors like IMO. A little too epic bacon, especially family of "professional soldiers", but he has no time in the Finnish Army and is doing this instead? The opposite of professional service?

"Most of the time Sisu spends training and planning out upcoming operations. In his spare time, he tends to himself, takes care of his equipment and sleeps. Operations themselves take relatively little time."

This is a day in the life of a foreign volunteer in a militia? He's planning operations? His spare time is not actually spare time? etc etc.

"The rose-stinted glasses come off quickly once people see war as it is. In regard to combat situations, Sisu claims that he becomes cold, emotionless, a rational machine: "In this war, there's endless amount of disappointments to anyone who tries to be optimistic"."

Oh actually, war made him develop all of the emotional qualities Redditors love, instead of, for example, crying randomly or feeling both exhausted and restless, having disorganized thoughts etc. ?

"When asked about challenges, he states that the two most difficult things are...handling unprofessionalism... "

Guy who has never been a regular soldier in a professional military cares about professionalism etc.

Russia wants yuan so they can buy things from China with them. That said they reportedly have a positive balance of payments with China in the first two months of this year.

It is a complete mystery why a Western press would do such a thing.

That said to be honest, I don’t know why the Russians would actually come to the table at this point unless Ukraine was suing for peace. Even if they didn’t want to go through another wave of mobilization, it would be a lot easier just to keep on shelling the Ukrainians indefinitely and let those factories do their job.

If the Russians know the Ukrainians are taking more casualties and have the ability to keep or accelerate that process, they will just kick back. It doesn’t seem like there is much war fatigue from the Russian population.

Is there a limit to how long they can keep the current wave of mobilization in the field for?
