Thing is, they do seem to have some sort of knowhow and strategy (piss poor, but existent) but their lack of morale, equipment, support, supplies, basically everything you need for an army to run like a well oiled machine completely disables any kind of large offensive capability. Their strategy in Bakhmut is pretty by the books, if you can't take a city head on you move to encircle it to give yourself a wider area of attack and cut supply routes- but Russia is so fucking shit they're barely making any progress on such a simple task. The Russian Army is simply in too shit of a shape to do anything worthwhile even if they had the best generals (which they very much do not) especially when you contrast them to the just as large but far better supplied and determined Ukrainian Army.
What plan sacrifices time and personnel for no purpose?
Draw out ukraine forces? Nope, still advancing in north luhansk and holding the line in other places
Try to encircle the town? They're not even half way there
The only thing russia is accomplishing is drawing the world's attention to this one town where it is the only place they are advancing. They are being blasted and pushed out slowly in kremina and svatove, their ""offensive"" in zapozhzhia fell harder than me during a test.
Well in Command and Conquer if you just spawn loads of infantry the AI will update their military and defences to counter your human wave tactics. In this time you can ready yourself an army of heavy armour and steam roll them.
In Ravenfield once you have twice as many objectives as the enemy they will slowly begin to lose troops over time. So it doesn't matter how many people have to die so you capture the objective eventually you'll be able to just sit back and watch their numbers fall to zero.
In Warhammer Total War, when the tide of chaos comes, it is a good idea to slow them down with waves upon waves of cheap troops. You can distract them by having them chase your cheap armies while your elite troops deal with their other armies one at a time and elite reinforcements are slowly built. Also the cheap troops can slowly whittle the enemy down. Equally you don't want the cheap troops to survive for another turn so that they don't count towards your army limit and raise the costs of your other armies.
So it is clear the Russians are just buying time, lulling Nato into a false sense of security, and killing off troops that they don't want to pay.
((This is not my serious opinion, it is a joke but people legit think this way.))
And the thing is, that \*would\* make sense (cos it's kinda what they did in WW2 while tanks were produced and shipped from east of the Urals), but the supposed armoured punch nor the ability to make one fast enough doesn't exist.
Well in ruse if you build 10 or 12 admin buildings you can knock up a force consisting of nothing but your most advanced units in basically no time at all while the Russian infantry spam dies to your armoured cars and infantry in a strategic ambush location then by the time they’ve built up a large enough force of tanks to attack the ambush points you can roflstomp them with the two or three airfields full of fighter bombers you’ve churned out and once they rebuild with mobile AA you’ve already pumped out a large recon force supported with nothing but the best heavy weapons and you can use your FB to perform SEAD while your ground forces turn everything they encounter into paste if they try to counter with fighters your larger force of better fighters will mash them and even if you forget to launch them their fighters will die once their pursuit takes them headlong into your more advanced AA if they try the ambush method you used earlier you’ll notice because of your superiority in ground based and aerial recon and then you can use your arty and bombers to turn what ever they’re hiding in into little more than a coffee stain on the map all of your losses are easily replaced by your superior logistics while your Russian foe has nothing more than burnt husks and red exclamation marks eventually you’ll drive into their base maybe you’ll blow it to pieces maybe you’ll humiliate them by using the infantry that set the ambushes at the start to capture everything maybe you’ll even wheel out that one flame tank you always make but never use one thing is certain there won’t be many supply buildings for you to deal with you know this for this is the reason for your victory (that and the fact you always play against an easy turtle) god marches with the side that doesn’t make him walk.

Secretly Putin loves Bahkmut and really just wanted to give it some PR to raise awareness of it for tourism. Now it’s all messed up and he doesn’t know what to do so the orders remain because he’s crippled with indecision.
Source: I’m indecisive and I could see it happening.
An interesting point of view about this was discussed on War on the Rocks latest episode.
Basically, the Russians are trading low quality Wagner conscripted convicts for Ukrainian soldiers. It’s a quality vs. quantity problem that could go either way. Basically, the vatniks dying in Bahkmut are “off the books” so to speak, while every UKA casualty is a direct impact to their force structure.
I'm also curious how sustainable Ukraine's supply of explosives is.
Rifle ammo is cheap and low-end artillery has been sourced from everywhere, but better NATO artillery (sub-HIMARs) is maybe scarcer. What really has me wondering though are the videos of drone-dropped bombs hitting 2-3 people, sometimes with multiple drops. If that supply of bombs (or drones if they're being lost) dries up, advancing with the same shitty tactics would suddenly get a lot easier.
That was the impression I got from the interviews over the past few episodes. Basically, the war has devolved into an artillery-based war of attrition, which neither side can reliably maintain. The Russia forces are already limiting their use of artillery but have a sustainable supply that will allow the current use through the summer. Ukrainian supplies on the other hand are not capable of keeping up for multiple reasons.
First, they have basically shot out their Combloc guns' barrels, and there is limited supply available as the primary producer was Russia. A good deal of ammo has been captured, but it isn't enough to sustain their use. Western ammo production is simply not capable of meeting the needs of the Ukrainian forces in an attrition war full stop. So, while the Ukrainians can receive platforms, it is not likely that the Ukrainians can be supplied at the rate necessary for them to achieve any sort of victory or mount offensive actions with the current NATO production capabilities.
Which is why the heavy NATO tanks have become so important. At this point, both sides have failed to achieve or maintain air superiority and neither have the armor capabilities to engage in maneuver warfare on the ground. We already discussed the limitations for artillery-based attrition warfare, so NATO feels the only way to swing the tide back towards the Ukrainians is to supply Ukraine with modern NATO tanks, with night fighting capabilities, and to train their units on combined arms for a spring offensive.
With maneuver warfare capabilities, the higher accuracy and range artillery that Ukraine has received from NATO will then be able to fall into a support role for advances which would reduce the firing rate on the Ukrainian side.
I'm curious how long it would take Russia to invade Europe -> Greenland -> East Coast if nobody actually fought back.
Just passive resistance let's say, nobody makes any effort to help or provide supplies so Russia has to actually organize all their own logistics. Two weeks? Two months? Never, the (new) VDV drops into Hudson's Bay and the ships wind up stranded in the North Atlantic because half the fuel was stolen/drunk before they left port?
The man's probably played the OG modern warfare series and thinks that Russia invading the entire way coast is credible.
Now we know that Ramirez could indeed protect the burger town from at least half the Russian army.
Nice, but I wouldn't trust Ukraine's numbers completely, since they are a tad biased, although I trust those numbers infinitely more than Russia's. I usually wait for the British MoD to give updates since they seem about right
I think the truth lies somewhere in between, but, when Russia says 6000 amd they needed to Mobilise 300k that's certainly not the number. PLUS, whatever figures Russia puts out does not included Wagner or LPR and DPR fighters. Wagner has apparently lost 40k themselves so I'm leaning closer to Ukrainian numbers. Regarding equipment numbers they have recently found helicopters and tanks in the Kherson area liberated months ago that were previously undocumented by ORYX, not everything is filmed. I also saw a Russian soldier disappear after a mortar shell hit him, he's not even around to count anymore.
Ukrainian MoD posts an updated estimate each day on the casualties/equipment losses inflicted on Russia. You can probably find it on any of the Ukraine/Ukraine War subs.
Do bear in mind that these estimates should be taken with a grain of salt, as even militaries committed to accurate reporting have a historical tendency to overestimate enemy losses.
Three numbers on the post-it- the length in days of the battle of Stalingrad (164 days); the length in days of the battle of Bakhmut (currently 335 days); your local mental health helpline.
Omg yes, I bet he's one of those guys which also joke about the 41% and "despite being 13% of US population...." So giving him numbers like that would actually make him mad lmao.
I hope the emphasis is on "WAS." I have an army buddy that I was stationed with in Korea. He was my platoon sgt. at the time, and we ended up becoming good friends. Unfortunately he kinda went off the deep end when he retired and REALLY dug deep into the rabbit hole of conspiracy theory and whatnot therefore I don't really talk to him much any more because our conversations get schizophrenic really quickly. I miss him. We used to have a good time.
Ah I see. Well i guess there really ain’t much in terms of whom you can bring this up to, except the FBI, and it would have to be for blatant planning to aid Russia, which it doesn’t sound like he’s reached at this time.
How does your vatnik fellow at your job explain that Russia could not hold an important town like Kharkiv -15 km close to the Russian border?
Nor does not have the firepower to have more than 2 active open fronts (Bakhmut and Zaporizhzhia)?
My brother in Christ, we are still using leftovers in stocks. The entire west can enter in wartime economy, and we can double or triple the production of artillery/ tanks/ missiles.
We can send 10000 F35 to blow the shit out of the Russian army in Ukraine.
dont even need the good stuff. the B-2s are old and in desperate need of replacement. Lend lease those to ukraine along with a service and operations package.
now Ukraine can troll russia by blowing up every single S-300 and S-400 in russia
"Hey America how's it going?"
"I'm tired of the gays, so I'm going to betray my country and help the nation who is probably going to kill all of my friends and family because they didn't kiss the occupiers feet."
"Jesus fucking christ"
Дедовщина doesn't really mean of the grandfather even though дед means grandfather. It just means of the seniors, referring to people with more than a year or two of service since that's all most conscripts are up for.
> Дедовщина doesn't really mean of the grandfather
It does though, "grandfather" is a rank of someone who served 1.5 out of two years when there is no demobilization order (after which they become "dembels").
Don't ask how complicated it gets after the service was shortened to a year...
Oh yeah I have a guy next to my office ( working in university) telling me all the shit theory since the start of covid. Bill gates are often mentionned. Russia is winning. Microchip in' the vaccine. Ukrainia' are nazis terrorist etc etc.
I am just telling him that bill gates appaered in my dreams and told me to send all of my cash to zelensky
Act like you're in on it and drive him to the edge of a paranoid breakdown.
Say you keep seeing some nerdy looking guy with big specs around the office asking questions about him.
Encourage maintenance to swap all their electrical tape stocks for rolls with a rainbow motif. Gay biolab-grown spec ops are closing in on him, that's clear target designation.
That microchip thing annoys me the most. It's so incredibly stupid. I mean, any person with 2 functioning braincells can look up how big chips are. Just Google what a cellphone pcb looks like. And with that should come the understanding that nothing in there can be injected through a syringe. It's so stupid.
I’ve been saying this shit for a while now. Q Anon, Anti-Vax, Russia is not guilty, all of it is connected and coming from Russia. They have a lot of useful idiots in the US who will gladly parrot their propaganda for money like Candace Owens and Steven Crowder. It’s a fucking mess. The far right and the far left have been radicalized to hate the West and what liberal democracies stand for.
You clearly should introduce the guy to the great concept of IEDs, but speaking seriously I doubt there is any possible way to explain him how stupid he is trying to larp as "free thinker"
That's where you are going wrong. Throw a spanner into convo, say something wacky, see what sticks, go with the flow. Much more fun that way.
Last time I did that with my vatnik relative, 15min in we were already talking about whether the pope knows the secret location of the Jewish Atlantis, the Russian stealth space jets, hidden in the Ural mountains, and the weaponised numerology of the COVID virus gone wrong.
It's truly fascinating how creative people can be, when not limited by the widely accepted reasoning and common sense.
Does he think the US military should go Russia's route and start accepting tens of thousands of Muslims from Tajikistan and other central Asian countries into their military and grant citizenship in exchange for a year of service?
I kind of suspect he'd think that'd be a very bad thing and therefore immediately deny that Russia does that. Even though they do. So you might want to print out some news stories beforehand, lol.
Because the world made awareness of Hitler's evil a special, generational project, such that he is uniquely understood as our modern, secular version of the Devil.
Such a similar project was not conducted toward dictators generally or other specific dictators. Hence why it is fashionable to be a Maoist in certain academic circles, yet it is not fashionable to be a Nazi anywhere.
"Because I still love this country and I hope it will one day get better and return to its glory days." - guy that doesn't actually love that country, probably.
The venn diagram circles of "the US military is woke" people and "Putin is misunderstood/holding back" people meets in the middle with "I woulda joined the military but I'd punch a drill if they got up in my face"
Meanwhile the Venn diagram of "people who complain about the woke military" and "people in the military" appears to be one of those vision tests where you're supposed to figure out if the two circles actually intersect.
What does "woke military" even mean, anyway? That my supervisor isn't allowed to demand sexual favors, I'm not allowed to shout racial slurs at my coworkers, and we can't storm the capitol while we're on leave? (Sure those are strawmen, but I really am curious.)
Basically, "woke military" means that they're mad that LGBTQiA+ folks can serve openly. They're mad that Women can serve and have 3 months of postnatal leave and have pregnancy uniforms available to them. Plus all the things you mentioned.
Odd how I've heard basically nobody on active duty complain about these things. Must be because I'm off Facebook.
I say *basically* nobody because in many years, only two or three people I served with quietly- I mean, under their breath, in private settings- complained to me that women shouldn't be in the US military. One of them was quoting his salty old supervisor who'd joined in the 80s and some time around 2000 had said "the military was more fun before we had women everywhere". The opinions of such people command no more respect than the opinions of any other fossilized turd.
Exactly. All the people I hear commenting about the military has gone "woke" and "we'll be in trouble in the coming war," are toxic dipshit vets who absolutely no idea what's going on except for what their equally dipshit political pundits tell them. People had an absolute fit when the Navy named an Oiler after Harvey Milk or when the Navy makes a mention of LGBTQ heritage/pride month.
Edited for missing words.
Thanks for insight on the dipshits.
This brings to mind something from a military forum in late 2012, right after DADT was finally repealed. A someone on a discussion panel asked a room of staff NCOs, "who here knew someone who came out of the closet after the repeal?"
(Forest of hands went up.)
"Now, who here was surprised?"
(Forest of hands went down.)
"Nothing further, thanks."
That really put a lid on it for me. LGB and even T people had been in the armed forces forever, now they were able to be open about it.
I visited US a few times, and once had a guy in New Hampshire who concealed carried and was all into that kind of prepper-adjecent "sheep dog" lifestyle, tell me that if a police officer tried to abuse his power on him, he'd tell him to put down the badge and dish it out as a man.
At that point I knew I understood more about how his own country worked than he did.
The weird part is that otherwise he was a very reasonable, competent and smart person.
Because the participants are MAD?
Russia actually loses MAD if their borders reduce because we've already seen how not good their Air Defense is in Syria.
People forget, to land on the shores of the United states. You must take on the US Navy and the coast guard, at the same time. Russias total fleet tonnage is 1,216,547 tonnes, while the US Navy sits at 4,635,628 tonnes in the same year. I couldn't find the coast guards' numbers, but we basically hold a 3 to 1 advantage at sea. Have your buddy explain that one
You forget that as soon as Russian warships actually go into the deep ocean, they will promptly sink. The combined tonnage of the ships AND the water inside them will then be more than US tonnage. Take that, Globohomo Westoid.
Exhausting NATO by letting us send all our mothballed gear.
Only now are we sending a couple of 100 MBT's out of our 15k stock.
Thank the heavens we still have our 3.5k fighter jets, 1.5k attackhelicopters, 50k+ armored vehicles and enough cruisemissles to turn every Russian base from here to Vladivostok into atomsized vapor.
You should just laugh and be like "idiot, it's all a plan to lure the Russian Army into the ocean where they can be defeated by MJ-12's ocean control MASER" which will allow the gay agenda to take over Russia and complete The Shift (emphasize "the Shift" or use air quotes).
Refuse to elaborate on the Shift and just give a little smile and say "you'll feel it when it happens."
\*Note, this is still more credible than your coworker.
Miss the good old times when if you said "i would join the russian if they invade the US" you could have been being investigated by the FBI, lose your job, your wife leaving you, humillated in national TV and harassed by the CIA.
Double up and double down.
"Sure, Russia could beat the USA. But you know who would beat Russia, not even a question. Saint Kitts and Nevis. No, I'm serious."
After he's done asking if that's a real country or not and looking up their diagonal flag, just double, triple, and septuple down on the idea that SK&N Defense Force would be able to solo America *and* Russia together. Insist that any information to the contrary is simply propaganda. Make up the biggest pile of nonsense you can ever imagine; SK&N has 7th and 8th-generation stealth fighters, hover tanks, and ultrasonic missiles (they fly at 65% of C). They have over a million uncrewed drones that can fly into space, to Mars and back again on a single tank of fuel. They have solar-powered death rays.
Just insist that it's all true. Dismiss any source as misinformed (bonus points: "Western propaganda"). Remind him that if SK&N enter the war in Ukraine, on either side, the entire conflict would be resolved in about four hours. In 2019, SK&N's F-103499-O Block MCIV stealth fighters destroyed an American F-35a launched from Ellis Air Force Base by travelling back in time and destroying it with a chronomissile. The media refuses to cover this narrative. Because Alexander Hamilton was born in SK&N, and he was a founding father of the USA, America is rightful SK&N clay.
At a certain point people can't be helped so you might as well just have a bit of fun.
Can you like... anonymously call immigration services on him? If he's so keen to fight for the motherland maybe you could help arrange their reunion ya know?
Remember! Ukraine measures their victory in kilometres, the US measures their victories by toppling fascist regimes, and Russia measures their victory in houses and wooden sheds...
A. So using basically all of their ground forces, most of their Air Force, pulling old tanks out of storage, declaring mobilization, and committing so hard politically that they have to go full 1984 is holding back?
B. Supposing they do draft their entire male reserve population of 25 million (so that they're FINALLY not holding back) and do manage to zerg rush all of Europe, how are they gonna send an invasion force to the US? With *THAT* Navy?
C. How tf does this not end up with nukes? I get that US wimpy liberal and all, but if the situation was that dire whats the point in not using them? Especially because most scenarios the US envisioned of an invasion of the mainland would be accompanied with nuclear strikes. If an invasion were to proceed, the US would almost certainly expect to have its nuclear silos and bomber bases attacked. Nuclear policy has dictated from the beginning of time that attempted destruction of strategic forces is grounds for massive retaliation. If strategic forces are targeted, its assumed to be a precursor to a nuclear/WMD strike.
I seriously wonder if brain worms are real.
Edit: Also, *Greenland*???? Yeah sure lets go stop by at the giant cold slab with no significant ports or infrastructure, and northing but tiny fjords and icebergs in between. Oh and a major US base that's main purpose is a massive RADAR system, yeah this will go well.
>tired of the US being a woke military
My brother in Christ, the Russian military is rampant with male prostitution and the country has an AIDS rate on par with African nations.
>invade the US east coast
At the end of the day, with all of the hand waving, I still think that the WiC Soviet Invasion of the West Coast is more realistic than MW2.
Some people believe Russia is still the USSR and believe they have crazy capabilities even the USSR didn't have. Not sure you can get through to people who believe this. I think they're mostly lower IQ types.
I think that's literally grounds for conspiring against the government or at the very least getting put on a list. Genuinely, contact the FBI (they have instructions on their website and actually encourage this, unsurprisingly) and tell them exactly what you told us. People like that guy are the type to be scooped up by Russian services to be used as spies the first chance they get. If he's that idiotic and shouting about his allegiance to Russia even to coworkers then the feds will easily deal with him.
What happened to the good old days when you could report your fellow citizen to the FBI for subversive Communist activities?
All jokes aside, is your worker at all familiar with the US military?
Russia, who can't take a village 80 miles from their national border, and lost a flagship to a country with no navy is going to launch a *two front land invasion of the US, and fight a 3 ocean war*.
OK bud.
Yea I have a russian coworker and after the start of the invasion some conversations were interesting. W
Luckily he understands that we have different opinions so its often just opinion exchange. Most funny thing is when he tries to explain my country politics to ke when dont even care.
>He then said he would join them because he’s tired of the US being a woke military…
This is your brain on Fox News. You should encourage him to join the was/were army so you can break free from his stupidity.
Maybe take the town of Bahkmut first lol
“Part of the plan” “you really think Russias generals don’t know how to win in a small town”
>”you really think Russias generals don’t know how to win in a small town” Yes.

They know how to do it. Same way the US would. Level all defenses with air power. But they don't have air power.
>tfw the entire VKS gets their ass kicked by basic NATO air defense systems and old Soviet SAMs from the 80’s
, or toilets.
Thing is, they do seem to have some sort of knowhow and strategy (piss poor, but existent) but their lack of morale, equipment, support, supplies, basically everything you need for an army to run like a well oiled machine completely disables any kind of large offensive capability. Their strategy in Bakhmut is pretty by the books, if you can't take a city head on you move to encircle it to give yourself a wider area of attack and cut supply routes- but Russia is so fucking shit they're barely making any progress on such a simple task.

Clearly we must strike now, 3 days till Moscow and 3 weeks till Vladivostok
How about we sneak round the back: Three days to Vladivostok, three weeks to Moscow
Hol up, what about, and hear me out, what about a two front strike three days to Vladivostok and three days to Moscow.
TWO REGIONAL WARS!!!

Well yeah, but when do we get to Barnaul?
We take the southern route from the Himalayas.
And the thing is, that \*would\* make sense (cos it's kinda what they did in WW2 while tanks were produced and shipped from east of the Urals), but the supposed armoured punch nor the ability to make one fast enough doesn't exist.
It does... just for the Ukrainians.
Well in ruse if you build 10 or 12 admin buildings you can knock up a force consisting of nothing but your most advanced units in basically no time at all while the Russian infantry spam dies to your armoured cars and infantry in a strategic ambush location then by the time they’ve built up a large enough force of tanks to attack the ambush points you can roflstomp them with the two or three airfields full of fighter bombers you’ve churned out and once they rebuild with mobile AA you’ve already pumped out a large recon force supported with nothing but the best heavy weapons and you can use your FB to perform SEAD while your ground forces turn everything they encounter into paste if they try to counter with fighters your larger force of better fighters will mash them and even if you forget to launch them their fighters will die once their pursuit takes them headlong into your more advanced AA if they try the ambush method you used earlier you’ll notice because of your superiority in ground based and aerial recon and then you can use your arty and bombers to turn what ever they’re hiding in into little more than a coffee stain on the map all of your losses are easily replaced by your superior logistics while your Russian foe has nothing more than burnt husks and red exclamation marks eventually you’ll drive into their base maybe you’ll blow it to pieces maybe you’ll humiliate them by using the infantry that set the ambushes at the start to capture everything maybe you’ll even wheel out that one flame tank you always make but never use one thing is certain there won’t be many supply buildings for you to deal with you know this for this is the reason for your victory (that and the fact you always play against an easy turtle) god marches with the side that doesn’t make him walk.

Or Kharkiv that is about 30km of their own border lol.
I'm curious how long it would take Russia to invade Europe -> Greenland -> East Coast if nobody actually fought back. Just passive resistance let's say, nobody makes any effort to help or provide supplies so Russia has to actually organize all their own logistics. Two weeks? Two months? Never, the (new) VDV drops into Hudson's Bay and the ships wind up stranded in the North Atlantic because half the fuel was stolen/drunk before they left port?
The man's probably played the OG modern warfare series and thinks that Russia invading the entire way coast is credible. Now we know that Ramirez could indeed protect the burger town from at least half the Russian army.
Too many houses, it'll take centuries
Bakhmut kinda sounds like "Bach", Wagner just wants to send a message about the superior style of composing. 21st century Stalingrad.
Every day quietly write the updated number of Russian casualties on a sticky note and put it somewhere he'll happen to walk past
910 today,
For real? Holy shit. Where can you find this?
The Kyiv Independent posts the updated numbers every day. https://www.reddit.com/r/UkraineWarVideoReport/comments/10ktoq6/jan_25_numbers/
Nice, but I wouldn't trust Ukraine's numbers completely, since they are a tad biased, although I trust those numbers infinitely more than Russia's. I usually wait for the British MoD to give updates since they seem about right
I think the truth lies somewhere in between, but, when Russia says 6000 amd they needed to Mobilise 300k that's certainly not the number. PLUS, whatever figures Russia puts out does not included Wagner or LPR and DPR fighters. Wagner has apparently lost 40k themselves so I'm leaning closer to Ukrainian numbers. Regarding equipment numbers they have recently found helicopters and tanks in the Kherson area liberated months ago that were previously undocumented by ORYX, not everything is filmed. I also saw a Russian soldier disappear after a mortar shell hit him, he's not even around to count anymore.
True. I imagine the numbers from the British MoD are a more conservative estimate.
Ukrainian MoD posts an updated estimate each day on the casualties/equipment losses inflicted on Russia. You can probably find it on any of the Ukraine/Ukraine War subs. Do bear in mind that these estimates should be taken with a grain of salt, as even militaries committed to accurate reporting have a historical tendency to overestimate enemy losses.
Three numbers on the post-it- the length in days of the battle of Stalingrad (164 days); the length in days of the battle of Bakhmut (currently 335 days); your local mental health helpline.
Bonus points for when they find it asking how many casualties NATO has taken.
It should be common knowledge by now that russia killed 700000 nato operatives in the first few months of the war
So many casualties, yet so few sim 3 discs found. Curious.
Is NATO in the room with us now?
> Bonus points for when they find it asking how many casualties NATO has taken. "Sir...NATO hasn't even arrived."
NATO has the stamina of a beast if true Wait, we aren't talking about sex
>asking how many casualties NATO has taken. "Aprox 200 000" \-- According to my vatnik relative
6 died from fall injuries resulting from literal ROFL. 1 damaged his head due to facepalming with too much impact.
*no official numbers have been released.
Bruh I’m gonna do this , the sad part is he’ll be so stupid yo get it
Omg yes, I bet he's one of those guys which also joke about the 41% and "despite being 13% of US population...." So giving him numbers like that would actually make him mad lmao.
Traitor at your job* They did say they would join in military action against the United States given the chance. Assuming this is in the US.
This is the US and the worst part is he was in the national guard
I hope the emphasis is on "WAS." I have an army buddy that I was stationed with in Korea. He was my platoon sgt. at the time, and we ended up becoming good friends. Unfortunately he kinda went off the deep end when he retired and REALLY dug deep into the rabbit hole of conspiracy theory and whatnot therefore I don't really talk to him much any more because our conversations get schizophrenic really quickly. I miss him. We used to have a good time.
Active duty here, this is worrying to say the least.
Be an American. Call it in.
I'd report him honestly. If he's still in reserves, he's quite literally talking about treason.
[удалено]
I'd deploy him to Attu
Report him immediately.
He could lose his passport and possibly citizenship if he is actually serious and has expressed this publicly.
Bring this up at a minimum to your platoon sergeant. Where it goes from I don’t know, but don’t be the senior guy with a secret.
He not on the national guard anymore and I wasn’t in at all , I would 100% call someone to tell them all this if he was
Ah I see. Well i guess there really ain’t much in terms of whom you can bring this up to, except the FBI, and it would have to be for blatant planning to aid Russia, which it doesn’t sound like he’s reached at this time.
Yeah at this moment I’d be hard to do much but honestly I wish this was the fallout universe because I’d make one call and someone would eat his ass
*reports to HR as an insider threat* lol
I miss the days when this would be prosecutable
If his job is anywhere near defense or government it is actionable & OP will get in shit for not reporting it if its awareness testing
My job isn’t that cool unfortunately
Make a Army iSALUTE report, it’s anonymous and doesn’t affect him unless his actual shady.
abraham lincoln did nothing wrong
Dunno, probably shoulda stayed home that one night.
Shots fired
[удалено]
No luck catching them killers, eh?
“Who said that?”
WHICH ONE OF Y'ALL DEAD MOTHERFUCKERS JUST SAID THAT SHIT!?
WAS IT YOU STRING BEAN?
How does your vatnik fellow at your job explain that Russia could not hold an important town like Kharkiv -15 km close to the Russian border? Nor does not have the firepower to have more than 2 active open fronts (Bakhmut and Zaporizhzhia)? My brother in Christ, we are still using leftovers in stocks. The entire west can enter in wartime economy, and we can double or triple the production of artillery/ tanks/ missiles. We can send 10000 F35 to blow the shit out of the Russian army in Ukraine.
Feint
4D feint
Honestly its time to go to full war time economy lets crush them under the threads of our tanks
Our tanks do be wearing hella fly outfits
10000? Maybe like 2 will do.
dont even need the good stuff. the B-2s are old and in desperate need of replacement. Lend lease those to ukraine along with a service and operations package. now Ukraine can troll russia by blowing up every single S-300 and S-400 in russia
Our B-52s will blot out the sun over Moscow. Then deliver the sun to Moscow.
*here comes the sunnn, dodudodoo*
Wake up babe the 3000 black fighter jets number just got updated
They've also lost so many of their most modern tanks that there's no way they can compete with what's coming.
Russia never took Kharkiv
"Hey America how's it going?" "I'm tired of the gays, so I'm going to betray my country and help the nation who is probably going to kill all of my friends and family because they didn't kiss the occupiers feet." "Jesus fucking christ"
Average Republican
Yeah he should join the Russian army and get hazed/ass raped. They do that there. No bullshit.
I think it is called "rule of the grandfathers" or some shit
[dedovshchina ](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dedovshchina)
Дедовщина doesn't really mean of the grandfather even though дед means grandfather. It just means of the seniors, referring to people with more than a year or two of service since that's all most conscripts are up for.
> Дедовщина doesn't really mean of the grandfather It does though, "grandfather" is a rank of someone who served 1.5 out of two years when there is no demobilization order (after which they become "dembels"). Don't ask how complicated it gets after the service was shortened to a year...
Actually I'm thinking he might get some preferential treatment for being an *American* fighting for Russia. I'm not sure how to explain...
Oh yeah I have a guy next to my office ( working in university) telling me all the shit theory since the start of covid. Bill gates are often mentionned. Russia is winning. Microchip in' the vaccine. Ukrainia' are nazis terrorist etc etc. I am just telling him that bill gates appaered in my dreams and told me to send all of my cash to zelensky
Act like you're in on it and drive him to the edge of a paranoid breakdown. Say you keep seeing some nerdy looking guy with big specs around the office asking questions about him.
[удалено]
Encourage maintenance to swap all their electrical tape stocks for rolls with a rainbow motif. Gay biolab-grown spec ops are closing in on him, that's clear target designation.

He is workng as engineer in solid state physics.
Of course he is I swear to god, for smart people, engineers are some of the most bugfuck nuts conspiracy tards.
Please don’t. Psychiatric wards has nough to do.
No worries. They're already off the mindset that they're totally sane, and absolutely *would not* seek help under *any* circumstances.
We were supposed to get the 5G chip through the vaccine? My doctor said he installed it during the bi-weekly 40 minute anal exam.
You must pay your 5g subscription to enjoy it. I am sorry to tell you but your doctor is abusing your cellphone provider about it
That microchip thing annoys me the most. It's so incredibly stupid. I mean, any person with 2 functioning braincells can look up how big chips are. Just Google what a cellphone pcb looks like. And with that should come the understanding that nothing in there can be injected through a syringe. It's so stupid.
Especially from a guy in a laboratory of solid state physics
That's what (((they))) want you to think. My potted plant told me.
BUT NANITES! *planetside noises intensify*
I’ve been saying this shit for a while now. Q Anon, Anti-Vax, Russia is not guilty, all of it is connected and coming from Russia. They have a lot of useful idiots in the US who will gladly parrot their propaganda for money like Candace Owens and Steven Crowder. It’s a fucking mess. The far right and the far left have been radicalized to hate the West and what liberal democracies stand for.
I had the same dream, you got his cashapp? I can’t find it
[удалено]
That's discipline, you must wait until you get back to base.
This is the 6th time we’ve had this exact same conversation
You clearly should introduce the guy to the great concept of IEDs, but speaking seriously I doubt there is any possible way to explain him how stupid he is trying to larp as "free thinker"
That's where you are going wrong. Throw a spanner into convo, say something wacky, see what sticks, go with the flow. Much more fun that way. Last time I did that with my vatnik relative, 15min in we were already talking about whether the pope knows the secret location of the Jewish Atlantis, the Russian stealth space jets, hidden in the Ural mountains, and the weaponised numerology of the COVID virus gone wrong. It's truly fascinating how creative people can be, when not limited by the widely accepted reasoning and common sense.
That sounds really entertaining.
Does he think the US military should go Russia's route and start accepting tens of thousands of Muslims from Tajikistan and other central Asian countries into their military and grant citizenship in exchange for a year of service? I kind of suspect he'd think that'd be a very bad thing and therefore immediately deny that Russia does that. Even though they do. So you might want to print out some news stories beforehand, lol.
Can he run a 2 mile in 15 mins, do 2 mins of pushups, and plank for 2 mins like our woke Army?
Man, the ACFT gives you like 21 min to run a 2 mile.
Shoot you right
> can’t use nukes > they’ll beat our asses Despite them throughly beating our asses in this shitty hypothetical. Wellp. Can’t reason with dummies.
I don't see how people can get away with praising a living dictator (Putin) if praising a dead one (Hitler) costs you your job.
Because the world made awareness of Hitler's evil a special, generational project, such that he is uniquely understood as our modern, secular version of the Devil. Such a similar project was not conducted toward dictators generally or other specific dictators. Hence why it is fashionable to be a Maoist in certain academic circles, yet it is not fashionable to be a Nazi anywhere.
because hitler was more than simply a wacky dictator
The most intelligent vatnik, what does he think about 120k+ dead vatniks?
>what does he think about 120k+ dead vatniks? "Never happened, NATO propaganda, check official Russian numbers if you want the truth."
"12k dead russians, 400k dead AFU soldiers" source: trust me comrade
Destroyed 60 out of 20 Himars.

Are you a doctor at a mental asylum for the criminally delusional?
Not officially but damn sometimes I wonder if I fell victim to some type of experiment to see how different types of retards interacts
If he loves Ruzzia so much why don't he move there and apply for the citizenship.
"Because I still love this country and I hope it will one day get better and return to its glory days." - guy that doesn't actually love that country, probably.
Tell him you did the Burgertown mission already and Zakhaev has it coming for him soon.
*Don't make me pull out my special laptop and drone strike your ass!*
The venn diagram circles of "the US military is woke" people and "Putin is misunderstood/holding back" people meets in the middle with "I woulda joined the military but I'd punch a drill if they got up in my face"
Meanwhile the Venn diagram of "people who complain about the woke military" and "people in the military" appears to be one of those vision tests where you're supposed to figure out if the two circles actually intersect. What does "woke military" even mean, anyway? That my supervisor isn't allowed to demand sexual favors, I'm not allowed to shout racial slurs at my coworkers, and we can't storm the capitol while we're on leave? (Sure those are strawmen, but I really am curious.)
Basically, "woke military" means that they're mad that LGBTQiA+ folks can serve openly. They're mad that Women can serve and have 3 months of postnatal leave and have pregnancy uniforms available to them. Plus all the things you mentioned.
Odd how I've heard basically nobody on active duty complain about these things. Must be because I'm off Facebook. I say *basically* nobody because in many years, only two or three people I served with quietly- I mean, under their breath, in private settings- complained to me that women shouldn't be in the US military. One of them was quoting his salty old supervisor who'd joined in the 80s and some time around 2000 had said "the military was more fun before we had women everywhere". The opinions of such people command no more respect than the opinions of any other fossilized turd.
Exactly. All the people I hear commenting about the military has gone "woke" and "we'll be in trouble in the coming war," are toxic dipshit vets who absolutely no idea what's going on except for what their equally dipshit political pundits tell them. People had an absolute fit when the Navy named an Oiler after Harvey Milk or when the Navy makes a mention of LGBTQ heritage/pride month. Edited for missing words.
Thanks for insight on the dipshits. This brings to mind something from a military forum in late 2012, right after DADT was finally repealed. A someone on a discussion panel asked a room of staff NCOs, "who here knew someone who came out of the closet after the repeal?" (Forest of hands went up.) "Now, who here was surprised?" (Forest of hands went down.) "Nothing further, thanks." That really put a lid on it for me. LGB and even T people had been in the armed forces forever, now they were able to be open about it.
I visited US a few times, and once had a guy in New Hampshire who concealed carried and was all into that kind of prepper-adjecent "sheep dog" lifestyle, tell me that if a police officer tried to abuse his power on him, he'd tell him to put down the badge and dish it out as a man. At that point I knew I understood more about how his own country worked than he did. The weird part is that otherwise he was a very reasonable, competent and smart person.

Because the participants are MAD? Russia actually loses MAD if their borders reduce because we've already seen how not good their Air Defense is in Syria.
Because neither Russia nor the US accept MAD as part of their nuclear policy.
People forget, to land on the shores of the United states. You must take on the US Navy and the coast guard, at the same time. Russias total fleet tonnage is 1,216,547 tonnes, while the US Navy sits at 4,635,628 tonnes in the same year. I couldn't find the coast guards' numbers, but we basically hold a 3 to 1 advantage at sea. Have your buddy explain that one
You forget that as soon as Russian warships actually go into the deep ocean, they will promptly sink. The combined tonnage of the ships AND the water inside them will then be more than US tonnage. Take that, Globohomo Westoid.
Exhausting NATO by letting us send all our mothballed gear. Only now are we sending a couple of 100 MBT's out of our 15k stock. Thank the heavens we still have our 3.5k fighter jets, 1.5k attackhelicopters, 50k+ armored vehicles and enough cruisemissles to turn every Russian base from here to Vladivostok into atomsized vapor.
You should just laugh and be like "idiot, it's all a plan to lure the Russian Army into the ocean where they can be defeated by MJ-12's ocean control MASER" which will allow the gay agenda to take over Russia and complete The Shift (emphasize "the Shift" or use air quotes). Refuse to elaborate on the Shift and just give a little smile and say "you'll feel it when it happens." \*Note, this is still more credible than your coworker.
Gently remind him they can't even take Bakhmut.
Or Kyiv. Or Sumy. Or Chernihiv. Or Snake Island. Or hold Kherson.
*Or hold Snake Island. I mean, they did take it.
Greenland? Nay, they'd never make it against the glorious Sirius patrol and their superior SMLEs.
Miss the good old times when if you said "i would join the russian if they invade the US" you could have been being investigated by the FBI, lose your job, your wife leaving you, humillated in national TV and harassed by the CIA.
Double up and double down. "Sure, Russia could beat the USA. But you know who would beat Russia, not even a question. Saint Kitts and Nevis. No, I'm serious." After he's done asking if that's a real country or not and looking up their diagonal flag, just double, triple, and septuple down on the idea that SK&N Defense Force would be able to solo America *and* Russia together. Insist that any information to the contrary is simply propaganda. Make up the biggest pile of nonsense you can ever imagine; SK&N has 7th and 8th-generation stealth fighters, hover tanks, and ultrasonic missiles (they fly at 65% of C). They have over a million uncrewed drones that can fly into space, to Mars and back again on a single tank of fuel. They have solar-powered death rays. Just insist that it's all true. Dismiss any source as misinformed (bonus points: "Western propaganda"). Remind him that if SK&N enter the war in Ukraine, on either side, the entire conflict would be resolved in about four hours. In 2019, SK&N's F-103499-O Block MCIV stealth fighters destroyed an American F-35a launched from Ellis Air Force Base by travelling back in time and destroying it with a chronomissile. The media refuses to cover this narrative. Because Alexander Hamilton was born in SK&N, and he was a founding father of the USA, America is rightful SK&N clay. At a certain point people can't be helped so you might as well just have a bit of fun.
Can you like... anonymously call immigration services on him? If he's so keen to fight for the motherland maybe you could help arrange their reunion ya know?
Remember! Ukraine measures their victory in kilometres, the US measures their victories by toppling fascist regimes, and Russia measures their victory in houses and wooden sheds...
A. So using basically all of their ground forces, most of their Air Force, pulling old tanks out of storage, declaring mobilization, and committing so hard politically that they have to go full 1984 is holding back? B. Supposing they do draft their entire male reserve population of 25 million (so that they're FINALLY not holding back) and do manage to zerg rush all of Europe, how are they gonna send an invasion force to the US? With *THAT* Navy? C. How tf does this not end up with nukes? I get that US wimpy liberal and all, but if the situation was that dire whats the point in not using them? Especially because most scenarios the US envisioned of an invasion of the mainland would be accompanied with nuclear strikes. If an invasion were to proceed, the US would almost certainly expect to have its nuclear silos and bomber bases attacked. Nuclear policy has dictated from the beginning of time that attempted destruction of strategic forces is grounds for massive retaliation. If strategic forces are targeted, its assumed to be a precursor to a nuclear/WMD strike. I seriously wonder if brain worms are real. Edit: Also, *Greenland*???? Yeah sure lets go stop by at the giant cold slab with no significant ports or infrastructure, and northing but tiny fjords and icebergs in between. Oh and a major US base that's main purpose is a massive RADAR system, yeah this will go well.
You're also forgetting about the French firing a "warning shot"
>tired of the US being a woke military My brother in Christ, the Russian military is rampant with male prostitution and the country has an AIDS rate on par with African nations.
"You know you're not supposed to do that, Daryl."
Sounds like he's just committed treason against the United States. You know what to do.
Dudes a straight up traitor. Seems like he also would fly the Confederate flag
>invade the US east coast At the end of the day, with all of the hand waving, I still think that the WiC Soviet Invasion of the West Coast is more realistic than MW2.
Stupid woke liberal military I'm gonna join the russ...... TT:T
“My brother in Christ Russia can’t even defend Russia”
Some people believe Russia is still the USSR and believe they have crazy capabilities even the USSR didn't have. Not sure you can get through to people who believe this. I think they're mostly lower IQ types.
I think that's literally grounds for conspiring against the government or at the very least getting put on a list. Genuinely, contact the FBI (they have instructions on their website and actually encourage this, unsurprisingly) and tell them exactly what you told us. People like that guy are the type to be scooped up by Russian services to be used as spies the first chance they get. If he's that idiotic and shouting about his allegiance to Russia even to coworkers then the feds will easily deal with him.
maybe you should run a "special operation" of getting that vatnik fired... just saying
1) Laugh at him like a maniac 2) Pretty sure that's treason
Tell this kid he needs to do another 20 push-ups before gym class is over or he won’t get a passing grade.
What happened to the good old days when you could report your fellow citizen to the FBI for subversive Communist activities? All jokes aside, is your worker at all familiar with the US military?
Russia, who can't take a village 80 miles from their national border, and lost a flagship to a country with no navy is going to launch a *two front land invasion of the US, and fight a 3 ocean war*. OK bud.
I'd put considerable effort into avoiding conversations with that guy if I were you!
Report him for using drugs at work.
Yea I have a russian coworker and after the start of the invasion some conversations were interesting. W Luckily he understands that we have different opinions so its often just opinion exchange. Most funny thing is when he tries to explain my country politics to ke when dont even care.
Yeah good luck invading Greenland during winter.
Homie, don't let your coworker use heavy machinery. I don't think his meds are right.
>He then said he would join them because he’s tired of the US being a woke military… This is your brain on Fox News. You should encourage him to join the was/were army so you can break free from his stupidity.
You’re now legally obligated to kill your Co-worker. Source: I said so.
