in a civilised and enlightened society, he'd land on a list and hopefully get psychological help. statements like that would instantly disqualify him from serving in the military here. in russia, however, he will be the perfect recruit. a dumb psychopath, brainwashed with state propaganda, happy to die for a few hundred bucks.
This is literally the same shit I heard at boot camp during the early war on terror years from 17-24 year olds. We were not different and just as fucking dumb.
this is how i got the military recruiters to STOP calling me in the US lol. (2004) calling me like every week for a year I basically said this and apparently put on a do not call list. I don't think it would work anymore
This makes it easier to watch all those drone videos blowing people like this to pieces. I've seen plenty of suffering and some unintentionally hilarious kills. This war was avoidable. All Putin had to do was actually grow his economy and give his people bread and circuses. Now their economy is in ruins and is generationally screwed.
"Unintentionally hilarious kills!" Lulz. Love the phrasing. I have seen those, and I laugh, and then my brain is like, 'dude, wtf.' It's weird not being able to reconcile my feelings with my morals. Each passing day, my morals are gradually slinking away with this orc army. Fucking assholes abound. The Zionist soldiers are competing with them to see who can be the most inhumane.
I wonder just how cushioned from the effects of the war those Russians are. The wildberries warehouse destructions are making companies lose a lot of inventory/stock and they won't be fully reimbursed for those losses. I'd bet those Russians you play with are Muscovites - people in the cities that Putin wants to touch last.
Yeah, like, I don’t think this kid should be given a weapon or the authority to use it, but I don’t think this is indicative of some kind of pathology unique to “the Russian soul.” I went to fuckin’ high school with guys who couldn’t wait to join the marines so they could “go over there and blow away some [racial slur]s.” I think there’s a number of people in any society that think this way, and a sane population would avoid letting those folks have access to weapons.
this is why i think they should raise the minimum recruitment age to 25 at least. the brain isnt even fully formed and propagandizing young idiots under that age is way too easy. its fucking evil. this idiot isnt even gonna get 4 weeks training before being told to scavenge equipment from corpses and sent in as apart of a human wave tactic.
Which is what is you are currently subjected to. If you really think that you are not currently, at this very moment, with this very post being propagandized, you are either dimwitted or are sharing in the effort.
I think there's a little bit of psychopathy lingering there as well. Propaganda doesn't make you want to torture and kill people just because you can get away with it. Generally.
The average life expectancy for a Russian soldier entering battle in Ukraine is 20 to 30 minutes, according to Central Intelligence Agency director John Ratcliffe. Russia has lost half a million soldiers killed since the beginning of its full-scale invasion, with over 1,000 of the Kremlin's troops killed or wounded almost every day. Ukrainian fatalities are roughly one tenth of the Russians.
A million and a half now - which is the same number of active duty soldiers they started with. Considering that a third of their forces are elsewhere maintaining the stability of the 'federation' that means that... well... they are literally throwing conscripts into a meat grinder. This dumb fuck is going to be sent to the Frontline without pay and be dying within 20 minutes without ever seeing a Ukrainian hero. Dead in a field along with whatever drunks they press ganged that week.
Can we get someone who understands Russian to fact check what he's saying. Or give context to what caused the interview.
Not that I don't believe some people are like this, just that it also plays exactly into stereotypes of Russians. It sounds exactly like the propaganda every nation puts out during wartime of every nation except them.
as a native speaker I can tell you that subtitles are accurate, but why trust a random dude online if you can use any voice recognition on a cell phone to check for yourself
I hadn't actually thought of using a voice recognition tool on my phone.
Though honestly having now done both. Asking people online was way easier.
It feels more trustworthy too. If either you, or the other person who has said the captions are legit lied, there would be a dozen people stepping up to point that out. Whereas I don't expect the translator to lie, but the last time I extensively used one it was... very wrong.

We could have ended the war. We could have honored our promise to defend Ukraine, we could have pushed more. We could have done so much.

The US and Russia in a race for shittiest people in history.

Thankfully. Russia still has a bit of a lead.

Yup. Life expectancy for a Russian soldier on the line is like 20-30 minutes.

I'm quickly reminded of the Mahmudiyah murders. This PoS sounds like the kind of guy who'd do something like that.

No, i play arc raiders with russians every week. Their economy is pretty far from ruined ... unfortunately. Its gonna take a lot more to ruin them.
