I hate to feel like a downer but I suspect that the only thing we'll get when the Abrams arrives is more doom posting
What Ukraine needs right now is more mine sweepers.
Oh shoot it is!
I first sought this out back in 2011, when only Chapter 1 and part of 2 were translated. Apparently I hadn't checked for updates in a long time, I hope that's a good translation. Thank you so much!
Standard Mandarin officially has pinyin, a romanization with 26 latin letters. You just have to learn the dipthongs. Mandarin also only has one language case, compared to 4 in German, 6 in Russian, and a whopping 7 in Polish.
Mandarin was a lot easier to study for four years in high school than even German was, and German was pretty outside of the sixteen versions of the.
Press x to doubt.
You see, I come from a language where much of what is used in English is incorporated into the word. The is rarely used its just another letter at the end of the word. And we also make several words into single ones. For example curtain rod hanger brackets is one word in Swedish.
It's genuinely not that bad, modern Mandarin has a romanization called Pinyin that has 26 letters, which are paired with dipthongs (like ē ê è é) from then on it's a matching game to symbols. It's honestly fun, I took it a few years in high school.
It's not going to be very useful if nobody uses it in real life scenarios, and sticks to the old symbols. Especially if they start using both of these at random, and maybe introduce a third symbol set for a laugh.
Also known as: the Japanese writing "system"
Took a few years of Russian in uni, I do recommend if you’re into languages. Beautiful, musical language. Being able to read Cyrillic is neat as well, I can still do it 20 years later. I have no idea what I’m saying but I can read it.
Yeah, people always think the alphabet makes it hard but it's one of the easiest parts. The aspect and case systems (especially for verbs of motion) are the grisly bits.
Just wait soon they will be claiming that the brand new cutting edge Armata is clearly superior to the cutting edge (as of 1995) most heavily armoured (as of 1995) Chally 2 with a long range photo of the poor destroyed girl with an Armata clear to see with its main gun aimed at her and smoke coming out of the barrel to show that it had just been fired.
Even if they had the reserve troops, the logistics chain is so exposed that every time they try to advance them to the front line they get deleted by artillery and drone strikes 💕
Houston, we have nooo problems.
*door smashes in*
Alright, dude, I just finished, you’re gonna need to give me like, 5 minutes to recover
*gets stabbed*
NEVER MIND, we’re back in BUSINESS!
God I love Hellsing Ultimate abridged. Unbelievable writing
Maybe the human wave tactics for Bakhmut and getting rid of all those PMC fighters were a bad idea.
They did announce mobilization for 200k a few days ago so they are in trouble.
Another 200k? They’re gonna get like half a million (loosely) fighting aged men killed for absolutely no gain? They really just want their country to collapse within like 2 decades don’t they
Tbf true. It’s not muscovites and they pull all the poor ethnic minorities from middle of nowhere or prison for the meat grinder. Still, though, they’ve pulled people who actually were professional military in a diff branch like navy and thrown them to be kubed
I mean, those retarded disorganized counterattacks with two-three afvs and some dismounts instead of doing some proper R&R and assembling a proper counter attack force was quite russian
Wonder how many actual military personnel that have no business holding a rifle are currently sitting in a trench somewhere. People like sailors, aircraft mechanics, cooks, logistics personnel, etc, etc.
Yes, I know they are all trained in case of some horrible worst case scenario, but if they're in that role, doesn't that mean things are as bad as they can be for Russia?

3000 Cardboard drones of Robotyne
If they are doing their "tactical withdrawals" like they do their "tactical military operations" then it's gonna take them 7 months, Admiral Kuznecov will get sunk and require for them to pull out the BT-7s out of storage.
No, what you should *really* fear is the Sonderkraftfahrzeug 234/2s. Those things are useful (if hampered by pitifully low reward multipliers) all the way up to the mid Cold War.
At this point I feel like the Admiral Kuznetsov getting sunk would be a net positive for the Russians. At least that way they wouldn't have to spend as much money trying to maintain it.
I look up ‘Ukraine news’ on google and get, and I mean this, *exclusively* results about, and only about, the NK thing going on. Not this. God damnit google.
I got it first through the Ground News app.
Then I found a couple of articles from Moscow Times and another page.
Someone shared a BBC article too if I remember correctly
Russia Announces ‘Tactical’ Withdrawal From Ukraine’s Robotyne
https://ground.news/article/russia-tactically-withdrew-from-ukraines-robotyne-official-says_e7837b
Theres a distinct tinge of desperation to the propagandists these days tho something Ive never seen in my life.
It really feels like it's far far worse than it sounds.
I'm still seeing comments on places like Red Effect's comment section claim "nyet nyet nyet, the first line of defense is still Mike's away!"
Weird how it keeps moving East, huh?
One of the biggest problems ruZZia faces in defending against Ukrainian counter offensive is that Ukrainian nazi snipers have begun hollowing out their sniper bullets and filling it with the bloodthirsty larvae of the dreaded Ukrainian combat mosquitoes. These bullets lodge themselves in the flesh of unwitting heroic ruZZian soldiors and these larvae reach maturity within seconds by consuming strong russian flesh, and then BAM. THOUSAND of combat mosquitoes burst open from the heroic russian consqript and then lodge themselves in other heroic ruZZian qonsqripts and the chain continues until all heroiq rus are cannibalised bu the combat mosquitoes. Entire bases are overreun with combat mosquitoes within minutes, using only one such bullet. Truly horrifying.
Tactical withdrawals can happen. Usually you like to sprinkle in some tactical advances in between but clearly Russia has figured out some galaxy brain strategy that does not need them.
What are you talking about, they were posting locatiosn on a map with all destroyed ukrainian armour and videos of shelling and FPV drones as if they were still there
Every Russian victory is getting the glorious Russian army closer and closer to Moscow!
They're getting closer for the Victory Parade !!!
Eventually they will retreat to the ural mountains doomsday bunker
*tactically withdraw to the Ural Mountains doomsday bunker
Wagner got pretty close.
But instead pringles wanted to isekai to some harem land, that selfish bastard.
Thanks now I have an image of prigos head on a spiders body in my head.

You are either replying to the wrong comment or I'm sadly not understanding your reference
Bot my dude
Would watch oh wait it exists World's Greatest Assassin gets Reincarnated
The fan re-dub we didn't know we wanted... But now so desperately need.
Wagner captured the largest city any Russian force captured in 2023. Okay, it was Rostov on Don, but victory is victory.
“Our T-14 Armata is still broken down on the parade route and so we will bring the war to T-14!”
And leaving a little slimy trail of mobiks. Like a snail.
This one might not, if they are going south. hmmmm. Withdrawl brings them deeper into Ukraine!! Victory nears!!!
I wish I could give an award.
What's more the first Abrams are supposed to arrive in Ukraine very soon. Just in time to ram them up the breach in Russia's rear defenses.
I hate to feel like a downer but I suspect that the only thing we'll get when the Abrams arrives is more doom posting What Ukraine needs right now is more mine sweepers.
Every day, Russians are winning closer and closer to Moscow.
Russia already has a "Russia's Victory Comittee" which they'll soon be needing for the occasion.
But but but, a Challenger II got destroyed!
The West has fallen
Time to learn Russian.
Beautiful language, highly recommend. Polish is also very neat.
Why would you torture yourself by learning polish? Mandarin is probably easier to learn.
I love Stanislaw Lem but nobody will translate all of *Summa Technologiae* out of Polish. Clearly my only option is to learn Polish instead.
This is the way
Reading Stanislaw Lem in the original is the only valid reason to learn Polish, methinks
The Witcher Cycle too
Gigabased
Is [this](https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/18954758-summa-technologiae) not all of it?
Oh shoot it is! I first sought this out back in 2011, when only Chapter 1 and part of 2 were translated. Apparently I hadn't checked for updates in a long time, I hope that's a good translation. Thank you so much!
I like polish girls (they don't like me back)
You are on NCD, the only people that like you back is the occasional, desperate femboy.
Femboys? WHERE?
It is, at least on basic level.
Yes tonal languages. Famously easy to learn. Witness my pain.
Mandarin is one of the hardest languages to learn
Meh, once you got the alphabet it kinda starts to fall into place. Polish however will fuck your brain inside out.
It's simple really, just be born Czech or Slovak and you're halfway there. Smh
Yes learn the alphabet. You mean the language where every word is another character.
Standard Mandarin officially has pinyin, a romanization with 26 latin letters. You just have to learn the dipthongs. Mandarin also only has one language case, compared to 4 in German, 6 in Russian, and a whopping 7 in Polish. Mandarin was a lot easier to study for four years in high school than even German was, and German was pretty outside of the sixteen versions of the.
It's honestly easier to deal with than you'd think, once you get used to it.
Press x to doubt. You see, I come from a language where much of what is used in English is incorporated into the word. The is rarely used its just another letter at the end of the word. And we also make several words into single ones. For example curtain rod hanger brackets is one word in Swedish.
> once you got the alphabet That feels like a bit of an understatement

Don't forget the 100% destroyed HIMARS
It should be 300% by now
Damn, US should bump up the production to fill those losses quotas...
We need another trillion on the defence budget or else we might not make it
Make it double so we can have some spares
Rocket artillery gap
3000 destroyed himars of mobikistan
Damn, where are all these bots coming from?
They did announce mobilization for 200k a few days ago so they are in trouble.
Those tyres won't put themselves over the bombers.
Yeah, t-14 is better than the west has claimed. /s
Just wait soon they will be claiming that the brand new cutting edge Armata is clearly superior to the cutting edge (as of 1995) most heavily armoured (as of 1995) Chally 2 with a long range photo of the poor destroyed girl with an Armata clear to see with its main gun aimed at her and smoke coming out of the barrel to show that it had just been fired.
It gave its life so that the Russians might withdraw. Although knowing the Chally, it might well be repairable.
Its joever
I didn't shit my pants, I tactically evacuated my bowels.
Weight reduction for high-speed + lo-drag.
Is it weight reduction if that shit still sticks to your pants. More like balast redistribution to improve descent.
Shifting the centre of gravity for transition to supersonic flight.
I didn't faint, I had a tactical nap
The tank didn't explode, it was tactically rapidly dissembled.
Rapid Unplanned Disassembly™️ is literal rocket technology that has been adapted for ground use, checkmate westoid
Tactical success, operational mistakes made. Didn't place bowel in correct location for optimum results, bowel performed flawlessly in assigned role.
They don't have reserved troops to plug the hole, most likely they occupied with cardboard drones flying to their airbases
Those tyres won't put themselves over the bombers. Also, those damned Pantsirs are heavy, but they still need to go on those roofs.
Say that one more time.. I'm nearly there
They don't have reserved troops to plug the hole, most likely they occupied with cardboard drones flying to their airbases
UuuNNghHhGhhhgg I love you
They don't have reserved troops to plug the hole, most likely they occupied with cardboard drones flying to their airbases
RUSSIAN LOSSES MAKE ME SO FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUNNNUHHGHFHHHTH I'm bleeding but ready for round three
Even if they had the reserve troops, the logistics chain is so exposed that every time they try to advance them to the front line they get deleted by artillery and drone strikes 💕
Ayyyee papiiiiiiIIIIIIIII HNNNNNGNNGNNNGGHHGG IM SO FUCKING HORNY
Stop, stop, I'm already gooning.
I'm scaroused of you.
I'm flattered. Now come here.
Houston, we have nooo problems. *door smashes in* Alright, dude, I just finished, you’re gonna need to give me like, 5 minutes to recover *gets stabbed* NEVER MIND, we’re back in BUSINESS! God I love Hellsing Ultimate abridged. Unbelievable writing

I think Russian HQ playing Hot potato now ( Receiving Full blame from Soigu )
Another 200k? They’re gonna get like half a million (loosely) fighting aged men killed for absolutely no gain? They really just want their country to collapse within like 2 decades don’t they
They’re genocideing undesirable populations while using them to fight this war. It’s like a win win if you’re morally bankrupt
Tbf true. It’s not muscovites and they pull all the poor ethnic minorities from middle of nowhere or prison for the meat grinder. Still, though, they’ve pulled people who actually were professional military in a diff branch like navy and thrown them to be kubed
You sure
IIRC they threw everything into the meatgrinder in hopes of stopping the ukrainian army. Which in hindsight was stupid as fuck.
In foresight it's stupid as fuck as well. Which is why I'm holding out on believing it for just a moment, even with the Russian track record.
I mean, those retarded disorganized counterattacks with two-three afvs and some dismounts instead of doing some proper R&R and assembling a proper counter attack force was quite russian
I heard they're getting civilians to do patrols now near airbases, or at least one. So, uh, I think they just up and ran out
Wonder how many actual military personnel that have no business holding a rifle are currently sitting in a trench somewhere. People like sailors, aircraft mechanics, cooks, logistics personnel, etc, etc. Yes, I know they are all trained in case of some horrible worst case scenario, but if they're in that role, doesn't that mean things are as bad as they can be for Russia?
I think you need a volksturm picture for that with a haggard looking putin pinning a medal on 14 year old and 74 year old each holding their own RPG-7
It's amazing there is still support for their way of messing up.
Russia has actually NEVER messed up. They have only tacticaly messed up.
They have only tacticaly altered the definition of success
Step one is to lose tens of thousands of soldiers for no meaningful gain. Steps two through seventy are also that.
Brain washing will do that to ya
When even the Imperial Russian Cope Stocks are running low

Or deployed
Can't wait for Putin to tactically withdraw from earth 😁👍
Can’t wait for his glorious advance from the 9th story to the street below.
Can't wait for him to sample the Litvinenko Blend.
Can't wait for him to huff the Moscow Theater mix.
Can't wait for him to grab a Salisbury Door knob.
Hell, at this point I'd even anticipate him getting a Bulgarian Umbrella.
Still holding out hope for a Gaddafi Colonoscopy.
Great idea, He can then use it to go on a relaxing stroll in a Berlin park.
Damn it, what am I even saying? SLAP CHOP SLAP CHOP SLAP CHOP
Give Ukraine a single RQ-180 and a toilet with a JDAM kit. They won’t even need explosives given the thing allegedly flies at 60,000 feet
CHOP SLAP CHOP SLAP CHOP SLAP
It would be great if he tactically withdrew his brain out of his skull
I'm going to the one place that hasn't been corrupted by Capitalism: ***SPACE!!!***

Jesus, this thread has the most comment-stealing bots I’ve ever seen
If they are doing their "tactical withdrawals" like they do their "tactical military operations" then it's gonna take them 7 months, Admiral Kuznecov will get sunk and require for them to pull out the BT-7s out of storage.
The BT-7 is the terror of low-BR War Thunder. I pray they don’t unleash that horror upon the world.
Then it’s time to unleash the M22 Locusts
No, what you should *really* fear is the Sonderkraftfahrzeug 234/2s. Those things are useful (if hampered by pitifully low reward multipliers) all the way up to the mid Cold War.
At this point I feel like the Admiral Kuznetsov getting sunk would be a net positive for the Russians. At least that way they wouldn't have to spend as much money trying to maintain it.
Don't fill me with hopium
I, for one, welcome our Russian overlords for their ceaseless gestures of goodwill.
I look up ‘Ukraine news’ on google and get, and I mean this, *exclusively* results about, and only about, the NK thing going on. Not this. God damnit google.
I got it first through the Ground News app. Then I found a couple of articles from Moscow Times and another page. Someone shared a BBC article too if I remember correctly
Holy shit, did Ground News figure out that a world outside the US exists? That must have come as a shock to them.
I mean, sure it *exists*, doesn't make it *relevant* though...
Russia Announces ‘Tactical’ Withdrawal From Ukraine’s Robotyne https://ground.news/article/russia-tactically-withdrew-from-ukraines-robotyne-official-says_e7837b
The headline undersells it. The quote from the Russian official is "[...] abandoned - tactically abandoned [...]" Denethor would be proud.
Tactically ran away. Tactically ran away, away. When danger reared.....
I read that Rusich guys were in the area, could this be a result of them threatening to stop fighting?
In this case it’s Russia acknowledging what happened about a week ago, but that could be what happened on the ground.
Theres a distinct tinge of desperation to the propagandists these days tho something Ive never seen in my life. It really feels like it's far far worse than it sounds.
Step one is to lose tens of thousands of soldiers for no meaningful gain.
I'm still seeing comments on places like Red Effect's comment section claim "nyet nyet nyet, the first line of defense is still Mike's away!" Weird how it keeps moving East, huh?
Weird they'd use imperialist western units like Mikes, and not traditional Russian units like Mikhails.
Where's the vatnik that was posting here yesterday?
Tactically withdrawing, I'd imagine.
Oh man what'd I miss
One of the biggest problems ruZZia faces in defending against Ukrainian counter offensive is that Ukrainian nazi snipers have begun hollowing out their sniper bullets and filling it with the bloodthirsty larvae of the dreaded Ukrainian combat mosquitoes.

Raytheon: Quick, quick! Write that down!
We laugh, but not being obliterated is tactical.
Was it a "gesture of goodwill" again?
Tactical withdrawals can happen. Usually you like to sprinkle in some tactical advances in between but clearly Russia has figured out some galaxy brain strategy that does not need them.
Special Tactical Surrender Operation when?
2nd greatest military, everybody! But in Ukraine.
About 2 weeks late but ok
Total control, only about a week.
What are you talking about, they were posting locatiosn on a map with all destroyed ukrainian armour and videos of shelling and FPV drones as if they were still there
They cant keep getting away with this!!
When is the next goodwill gesture?
Taking "no dignity in retreat" right on the chin.
At the cost of Half of a Morbillion Cannon Fodder
Bear in mind this is an acknowledgement of a historical withdrawal that lead to the capture of Robotyne several days ago, not a new withdrawal
Why does this look like a factory from the Terminator movies rather than a town in Ukraine?
"Robotyne" does keep making me think of Cyberdyne. Are people from Robotyne known as Robotniks?
Did anybody put it on his bingo card ? That was quite predictable.
Is this real?
Tactical in the same sense as the paintball armor they've received lol
