    Im so sick of my fucking coworkers talking about Russia being out of ammunition and shit. If that were true then how are they still fucking fighting, geniuses?? of course Ukraine is going to run out first, Russia actually has manufacturing capacity

      I have coworkers that think Russian hypersonic missiles are useless because Ukraine can easily intercept them. They also think Aircraft carriers becoming obsolete because of missiles is Russian propaganda.

      These people are so deluded once Ukraine capitulates, I’m sure they’ll congratulate themselves with the consolation prize that at least Ukraine killed a lot of Russians. They’ll also use that as a justification for Russia not continuing their alleged grand European invasion.

        I think a lot of them will take the attitude of Ukraine being “asiatic hordes” and that’s why they lost, despite all the western backing. I imagine practically every Ukraine Flag profile pic will be frothing at the mouth with hatred for them 6 months after the war is over. It’s like a game to them, or a movie, and if the movie doesn’t go the way the popcorn eating masses demand the movie goes, they flip out.

    sigh I really can’t be bothered with news reporting about the war in ukraine.

    Everything we’d say turned out right, literally everything. Whatever, liberals will freak out when ukraine has to unconditionally surrender and all we have to say is “see?”.

          I was distracted by something in another window and I kept getting a sense of impending dread in the direction of your comment.

          Today I learned my peripheral consciousness can read on its own, and also that it needs the rest of my brain to understand satire.

        Remember how Zelensky is technically Jewish, yeah I really don’t see this ending well. They are probably going to go dig up Drumont or something.

      A lot of us (myself included) got a lot of things wrong along the way though. The difference is that we changed our position as we got new information. We aren’t predicting the future, we’re changing our viewpoint based on new information.

      Not really everything. Many (including myself) expected the war to last a month at most.

    I’m really glad there were cheerleaders for Ukraine living safely in their first world countries telling them to keep fighting, that really advanced things 2 years down the line.

    Lol that last blurb at the end, now the wonder weapon has changed to NATO standard communications. This is just so sad that the Ukrainian government continues to push this suffering on their people.

      Indeed, what the regime the west installed after the coup did to the people of Ukraine is one of the greatest atrocities since the end of WW2.

    i had to read the headline three times because i thought it said ‘depleted uranium’ the first two times and i couldn’t make sense out of it
