Imagine seeing all the professional army dying and being like “I’m gonna train for 5 weeks and this time we’re going to win”
That’s the energy that montages in movies are preparing us for.
The goal was never to win
This quote reminds me of the sexist, “equal rights, equal fights” saying.
The Ukrainian Army’s outreach to women is a step toward equality, to be sure, but one that also reflects the tremendous toll the war has exacted.
How do we give this a positive spin?

NGL, the farther into the article I got, the more depressing it was. The girlboss feminism spin on this article is pretty gross.
It’s dark as fuck, it’s become pretty clear over the past year that the psychopaths the west installed in Ukraine are willing to fight this war to the last Ukrainian. At this point keeping the war going is the only way for them to stay in power.
Got to get those numbers up so they can be as equal as France: https://lemmygrad.ml/post/2629555

[The Chancellor] had already shown interest in the battlefield performance of Polish women fighting in the Warsaw Revolt — he personally questioned the SS counter‐insurgency chief, Erich von dem Bach‐Zelewski, on this matter — and in February 1945, prodded by Bormann, he conceded that all available human resources now had to be mobilized, ‘even women’. ‘That’s all the same to me’, he shrugged. ‘So many women who want to shoot are volunteering now, that I am of the opinion that we ought to take them immediately. They are braver anyway’.46 Several days later, the Führer observed that ‘innumerable women are volunteering for the front’, and he suggested that such recruits would ‘undoubtedly fight fanatically’.47
