      But did you read this article about a fascist sniper who ate snow and probably grossly overinflated his killcount

          How about that Sisu movie? Poor heckin chungus Finns just wanted to be left alone, but the mean Russians and Germans wouldn’t leave!

          Reminds me of the “joke” my Finnish coworker said about Finnish tourists in Russia, how the <insert slur> Slavs would freeze the fish in Lake Ladoga to “lower the mercury” in the fish to levels safe for consumption.

            that goes into russophobia actually, the reds were “ryssänhuoria ja juoppoja r#iskaajia” (removed of the russkies and drunkard r*pists). no facts are allowed, our anti-communism is neatly packeged into the russophobia.

            now libs pretend to be big sad about all the deaths, but it was worth it because our current state of living is so great, besides commies are bad anyway.

        The world begins to settle into a no-longer new century and grapples with the revelation that the world order they imagined; one of unchallenged Western dominion where the only limits on military adventurism would be limited to bizarrely effective Afghan resistance; will not be borne out as had been imagined. The eastern Slavic world is embroiled in war, with the Western powers funneling substantial but inadequate military support to the losing side. The UK has just recently made clear its commitment to the Zionist project, and the memory of pandemic is starting to fade. Warsaw eyes the chaos with an opportunistic glean and begins to imagine that its newfound independence from Muscovite hegemony could even be extended to taking Eastern Galicia by force.

      I imagine the intent is mostly to keep domestic public from freaking out. That’s basically why we keep hearing the whole “nato isn’t a party to the conflict” line repeated ad nauseam.

        I mean, I shouldn’t be surprised, but anyone who actually studied history knows exactly what military advisors do

      Lol it’s just an excuse to increase austerity so the burden on the people is going to be harder. This is all about taking every opportunity to institute neoliberal austerity.
