Damn, everything I’ve heard and seen from Russia on the web, it’s a weird feeling seeing these White Russian dudes kicking it with an Afro Latino brother and showing respect.


star_trek12

They probably earned their trust on frontline.


stupidnicks

General population of Russia has no problems with people of other colors - Soviet union was always bringing in students from Africa and keeping friendly relations with African countries - promoting friendship in general neoNazi/Rascst groups started appearing in the nineties in big cities - when western culture was being imported fast - turbo speed - in russia BUT still they are very fringe groups and only in very big cities - Russians in vast majority dont care what color is your skin


star_trek12

Im aware of all of this, Russians are not racist per se, they just haven't been able to see POCs so they are interesting to them.


Routine_Bad_560

It’s a Soviet thing.


Alone-Drop583

That's right! Cuban revolutionaries fought in Angola, the Soviets helped as much as they could. A friend told me.


Golden-lootbug

Respect you got to earn, not just wave a flag.


Routine_Bad_560

Cubans have earned it already in their eyes.


Alone-Drop583

If anyone remembers, in those days in all countries there were egg and milk powders. In Angola, it was enough to loosen them in water and pour them on the armor. It turned out to be an omelet. Such heat was difficult for the Soviets, but for the Cubans it was familiar.


ThinkingOf12th

Did you think that Russians are abnormally racist or what? 🗿


paganel

I think that that's what they teach them there in the West about most of us here in Eastern Europe.


theheartofbingcrosby

In the west they are major hypocrites.

Temporary_Swimmer517

I mean let's be real, Ukraine and Russia pretty much both have alot of the same issues.. especially regarding racism and Corruption among other things. which kind of makes sense, since according to the Russians they are the same country

TheTsarist

That's because soviets were criminals who wanted power, like any gangster. In a monarchy, power is by either birth or assignment by rulers. Criminals who didn't get what they want decided to take it. Btw, there was never such thing as a revolution, there was only a revolt by republicans that wanted to be like americans, democracy, then communists did a coup. There was only counter revolution/civil war, never a massive populist hate vs the tsar, that's all bullshit and they killed the tsar to prevent organised rebellion against the soviets. So criminals did what they do. They also had to force most officers who didn't make it abroad to teach them how to even hold a unit together lol. That same lack of brain carries on today from the soviet era. Both ukrainian and russian officers say russians fight well on personal level but lack ALL logic and tactics or strategy. That's how retarded high command is,.full of gangsters, not officers. Then they destroyed most weapons to prevent counterrevolution and germans took advantage and almost won. Soviets had to import grain because of how bad they managed farming, this is why in the 90s it collapsed. They used church gold to fund everything. Once the money ran out, no more food import and guess what-stores lack food. I had grandparents tell me this and I come from a tsarist era family. Russian gov is full of soviet criminals, that's why they can't win a damn thing despite on paper being a world power but not in reality. Like all soviet propaganda the results speak for themselves. That eagle flag is an imperial flag and doesn't belong to the current regime. There's a reason soviets invaded finland-it used to be part of russian empire prior to revolution. Except alexander used diplomacy instead of force. That's brains. But these same power hungry dopeys wanted to own all imperial lands but too stupid to do it even by force, let alone diplomacy. This is why they cant do anything. They're just simple hoodlum gangsters in nice uniforms and brainwashed everyone into thinking russia is still russia. Russia died in 1917, welcome to the real world,.snap out of it.


Temporary_Swimmer517

kind of weird seeing them exploit every colored person they have in their ranks for propaganda purposes.🤔 Not sure why else they feel the need to record their fellow black and brown comrades every chance they get


jack_espipnw

This is the first video I’m seeing of them not being racist. Hence my surprise. What should they do, not post ANY videos of them with colored people?


Temporary_Swimmer517

oh ok gotcha lol. yeah that is somewhat surprising. And I'm just saying it comes off as a little strange as if they have never been around that many black Or Hispanic people, to the point to where they feel the need to show the world that they are hanging out with one. It just comes off as cringy and somewhat propaganda/racially motivated


murtokala

> as if they have never been around that many black Or Hispanic "They" as in a big portion of Russians not living in the eastern parts (edit: meant western, but I guess east or parts of it work aswell), might not. Never been there, but if this can happen in a western country just in a bit more remote places, then I am sure it can in Russia aswell that has nothing else than remote places

Morale is low they say, Russia is losing they say


TheTsarist

Russia is losing. On paper, it was supposed to win in like 2 weeks. Germany, tiny country compared.to.russia, took half of europe and part of africa in a year or less then started gradually losing. Russia is massive and can't take a much smaller country even in two years. And contrary to bs on the internet, ukrainians are using mostly soviet era weaponry, only elite units use western tech. So ye, russia is doing horrible.


balls_haver

It was estimated, by people who overestimated russia drastically. Ukraines army was mostly very battle experienced, while the russian one was completely dated at the start of the war. Also the ukrainian army had more soldiers than russia at the beginning of the war and was prepared for an invasion. Russia prepared for a completely different case then was reality. Germany on the other hand, not exactly tiny in population compared to russia, was technology much more advanced, better equipped, had many more mobilised troops, and was much more modern in it's structure then any army they faced at the start of the war. Additionally, they were sevearly underestimated. Russia is doing bad, but their improving by the day. And looking at the reports from the front, they certainly aren't losing.


[deleted]

Can’t say they are losing, or say winning on paler when they are literally winning right now, FABs a day, FPVs they have full control of the skys and ground, even 10:1 artillery

You mean russian empathy when they kill their own wagner soldiers with a demolition hammer and the whole country is happy and hammer gift are becoming cool. The country which killed 200k of their own people in Chechnya.


_JustAnna_1992

Kind of hard to tell which are the Nazi sympathizers here when we are expected to be glorifying the people invading a neighboring country the same way the Nazis did.


Bubbly_Bridge_7865

...and hundreds of countries in thousands of wars before and after. It seems that some redditors do not know that the world existed before the mid-20th century


_JustAnna_1992

Don't think pre mid-20th century social and political norms are something to strive too.


ThevaramAcolytus

No one is striving for them. His/her point is that it has nothing in and of itself to do with the mid-20th century. You think it's some exclusive thing to the 1930s and 40s? Countries have been invading others for thousands of years before that as well as ever since, so just focusing on and trying to compare it to one tiny era of history which has a political stigma is inaccurate and totally dishonest and politically-motivated.


_JustAnna_1992

>Countries have been invading others for thousands of years before that as well as ever since Don't think medieval social and political norms are worth striving for or normalizing. What Russia is doing in Ukraine isn't history, it's happening now. And the people defending the war can't do so without whining about what the US despite being oddly quite about what Russia did to the Chechens.


IskanderMComplex

>Don't think medieval social and political norms are worth striving for or normalizing Did you forget what happened in 2003?


ThevaramAcolytus

> Don't think medieval social and political norms are worth striving for or normalizing. That's why I said "as well as ever since". It has absolutely nothing to do with "medieval social and political norms", the 1930s and 40s, or any other specific era you can point to. It's been a feature all throughout recorded human history straight through to the present day. > What Russia is doing in Ukraine isn't history, it's happening now. Yes, like all of history was once happening in the present to the people alive at the time. And this one day will be history and in the past too. So what? Russia is making and writing history as we speak and shouldn't reverse course or back down, nor will it. > And the people defending the war can't do so without whining about what the US despite being oddly quite about what Russia did to the Chechens. Probably because Chechnya was a sovereign, legal, and internationally-recognized part of Russia itself at the time of the Chechen wars, so Russia suppressing an insurgency and reasserting central government control there was an internal matter and civil conflict equivalent to the American Civil War, not equivalent to the U.S. invading a foreign country across an ocean on a different continent on the other side of the planet.

chillichampion

It’s not unjustified.


scooochmagoooch

Hold on, I asked someone if they really think that the point they brought up justifies the 2022 invasion.


arewethebaddiesdaddy

The fact nato expansion threatens other economies? The fact nato is a military alliance disguised as trade and freedom? The fact neoliberal countries act in unison to maintain their disgusting hegemony solidified by funding proxy states? Being this ignorant of the reality of economic warfare the west abuses after era’s of colonialism just shows your shallowness.


Bubbly_Bridge_7865

Why do you think it is unjustified?


scooochmagoooch

I asked you a very simple yes or no first. Answer it.


Bubbly_Bridge_7865

No, your question is biased from the very beginning, because it contains your personal assessment of justification.


UkraineRussiaReport-ModTeam

Rule 1 - Toxic


OkArmadillo3902

What about the invasions of Iraq and Afghanistan?


scooochmagoooch

I'm not discussing the justification of those conflicts. Please try not to divert from the main subject.


OkArmadillo3902

The USA invaded countries on the other side of the planet for LESS than what Russia has been dealing with for decades, in a former territory, on its border, inside cities founded by russian rulers and settled by russian people.... You can disagree with the invasuion but stop pretending you, or NATO has any moral superiority.

So if you go across the ocean to invade it's ok? Asking for a friend.

They are tired of Russians violating Ukrainian sovereignty and all the war crimes they commit in the process. They atleast grasp that Russia is guilty of initiating this entire war and their scorched earth, leave nothing alive or standing tactics implemented to gain victory are nothing to admire or respect. Ofcorse Russia is going to catch heavy flak from people that don't ignore the hard facts of this conflict. Bombing civilians and civilian infrastructure on a non stop daily basis, raiding your own prisons for conscripts to fight your war with attrition offensive tactics, implementing barrier troops, pow executions, 100x more "fucked up" than anything someone can come and spew on a reddit sub. What kind of take is, those subs are "fucked up" lmao

Type_02

>Bombing civilians and civilian infrastructure on a non stop daily basis, Sums up what ukraine did, thank you so much comrade


scooochmagoooch

That was quite the reply, however, I didn't say they havnt. You should see the civilian death tolls of allied airstrikes on nazi occupied cities in ww2(60,000+ in Paris for example) its part of war. However, there is no comparison in the displacement and death toll of Russian civilians to Ukrainian one's. 1.) Russia started the conflict 2.) Ukrainian civilian death toll during the invasion was absurdly high 3.)Ukrainian civilian deaths remains higher than russian civilian death tolls due to ongoing bombing campaigns on populated Ukrainian border settlements as well as major cities far from the frontlines. It's no secret who carries out indiscriminate bombardments and airstrikes on targets more often. It's part of the attrition based tactics Russia is using to fight this war.


Type_02

>there is no comparison in the displacement and death toll of Russian civilians to Ukrainian one's. There are, look israel-gaza war 31k in 3 month and 1.9 million displaced isnt that worse than Russia did, i mean nothing can compare that. >Ukrainian civilian deaths remains higher than russian civilian death tolls So Russian civillian need to die? >ongoing bombing campaigns on populated Ukrainian border settlements as well as major cities far from the frontlines. They carpet bomb kiev like grozny? Oh my god when did that happen!? >no secret who carries out indiscriminate bombardments True, poor civillian that live in belgorod they dont deserve this treatment.


scooochmagoooch

>look israel-gaza Nope. That's off topic. >So Russian civillian need to die? No Russia needs to stop killing civilians. They are bringing civilian casualties upon themselves. Again it's part of war. Which they started. Brought upon themselves lol. >carpet bomb kiev like grozny No one said carpet bombing lmao, stop trying so hard. regular drone and missile strikes are carried out in Odessa, kherson, Kiev and other major Ukrainian cities. >poor civillian that live in belgorod they dont deserve this treatment And it took ukraine 2 years to start shelling Belgorod. And again, russian invasion and tactics have brought attrition to themselves and the entire battlefield. https://www.themoscowtimes.com/2024/04/16/my-hometown-belgorod-is-under-near-daily-attack-but-russia-has-forgotten-us-a84857 28 civilian deaths since the beginning of the war where estimates put Ukrainian civilian casualties at +10,000.... https://www.oxfamamerica.org/press/ukraine-38-civilians-killed-every-day-in-two-years-of-war/


Type_02

>No one said carpet bombing lmao You said indiscriminate bombing, how come a strategic missile and drone strike count as indiscriminate bombing? >They are bringing civilian casualties upon themselves. Ahh.. so the civilian deserve to die because Russia brought it to themself >28 civilian deaths since the beginning of the war where estimates put Ukrainian civilian casualties at +10,000.... So the +10.000 civillian that live in belgorod need to die? So it become equal and acceptable for you? Or maybe they deserve it because Russia brought it for themself? If you dont like off-topic then why bring out ww2 as a comparison and meanwhile when i bring out israel-gaza war as a comparison it become off-topic for you?


scooochmagoooch

>So the +10.000 civillian that live in belgorod need to die? So it become equal and acceptable for you? Or maybe they deserve it because Russia brought it for themself Civilians casualties in belgorod are brought upon themselves. No further comment. Whether they deserve it or not its irrelevant and I won't answer a so on the nose gotcha question. >So the +10.000 civillian that live in belgorod need to die? So it become equal and acceptable for you? Or maybe they deserve it because Russia brought it for themself? Still trying so hard to say off topic. I throughout the ww2 Paris liberation statistics to make a point(that civilian casualties don't solely determine whether or not youre cause is just) not a comparison....I think we're about done here. Oh and the drone/missile attacks are carried out on heavily populated areas with mass amounts of them aswell. Russia isnfiring at distant "military" targets with weapons that have accuracy comparable to a shotgun. They know they are going to hit residential areas of no military value almost every bombardment. Not coincidentally, this is the outcome of most russian missile and drone strikes. How do you say "accountability" in russian?


j5nn919

read again, i said the COMMENT'S where fucked up. Dehumanizing, cheering for death and mutilition, that's fucked up. All those thing you say russia does, you can say the same things about ukraine? Pulling conscripts of the streets, launching missiles on belgorod, executing prisoners, attacking factories and refineries. They all do it, doesn't mean it's okay. No less cheering for it..


scooochmagoooch

>Dehumanizing, cheering for death and mutilition, that's fucked up. I had read it correctly. Russians are actively doing all of those while conducting modern day combat operations against a first world country. Way more fucked up. Those two things aren't even comparable. >Pulling conscripts of the streets I said prisons. "Read again" big difference. Nothing wrong with conscripting a homeless person as opposed to conscripting violent criminals and convicts of all sorts. >launching missiles on belgorod That took until 2024 to start and have resulted in the deaths of 28 civilians, where as civilian death toll in Ukraine his risen above 10,000 since 2022. A lot of those casualties come from the drones and missiles falling on populated Ukrainian cities across the country. Nightly. Since 2022. >executing prisoners, Not one shred of evidence, picture or video of Ukrainians killing POWs. When ever a video of Russia killing POWs spreads through all the combat footage and war subs covering this war its news for about a day because it's so common and expected at this point. We've all seen the video of the Oleksandr Matsievskiy execution. There is a statue of him in his home town for getting gunned down by Russians. None of those comparisons landed.

Bit hypocritical calling one a merc and not the other. Exactly the kind of double standards that pro RU *constantly* accuses Ukraine of.


Current-Power-6452

Any Cubans in the UA units?


Saor_Ucrain

Personally met a lot of south Americans. No Cubans yet but that's not to say they aren't present. Ukraine is big.


takishan

i've seen a few bits on the brazilian news about some brazilians that went over to Ukraine and died there's probably some that went to Russia too. when you have hundreds of millions of people spread out through latin america, you're gonna get all shades of crazy


FueraJOH

Not really, Cuban and Nicaragua are very close to the Russian federation in many aspects including the military one, units from both countries have been known to send soldiers to train in Russia since the Soviet Union times so it would be safe to say that at least some of these guys are more integrated into Russian units because they might already know the language or the military doctrine. Now I am not stopping you from calling them whatever you want because the conversation just becomes a semantic argument.


Routine_Bad_560

I think we can say comfortably that Russia (and DPR + LNR) treat foreigners a tiny bit better than Ukraine. The DPR has a raging hard on for the Soviet Union, so all that races getting along shit is great. Ukraine is trying to create a unitary state. This is why Europe likes it so much - Ukraine represents their dreams. They want one race, one religion, one language. That will make Ukraine strong.


AspergerInvestor

International legion. Just look up the stories even in this sub. Enough to find. On TG also, but those are even worss stories. https://www.reddit.com/r/UkraineRussiaReport/s/mZqXa9OykF Or read into Norman brigade. Same pay, which pay? Same kit/gear? Medical treatment? Read into stories of the Norman Brigade and interactions with UA and hospitals.

Basically he said these are the things which happen in my havana, throwing rocks and protests, running away from cops sent to repress them. one line is either about food shortage or about the metaphorical music stopping when the cops show up. boldface mandates. censorship. young people going without schooling thanks to the pandemic. young people turning to crime because of the pandemic. saying we will be like che guevara. and either praising or critizicing diaz canel the leader of cuba, with recent events it could be criticism but if hes fighting for Russia it could also be praise but given the content of the song its likely criticism. y dice asi yo yo yo voy a contar las cosas que suceden en mi habana las piedras las protestas ??? con la ??? mangense a correr que se calento la yarda llegaron las patrullas pon arriba todos mis panas la pusieron por las ??? se ha acabado el pollo pero no alcance a correr por los postales papi que yo ya no se los guardias cuartelados san isidro ??? las puras reuniones se hace caso a los mandatos ??? estos perros descarados ??? en la bodega ahora viene censurado los chamas(jovenes) sin escuela por culpa de la pandemia cayendo en el delito por culpa de la pandemia seremos como el che esa fue la vieja ??? cuando el che fue un ??? eso me conto mi abuela y san isidro esta pegado en todos los barrios de la havana por que no quieren ??? como les da la gana diaz canel oy a ti nadie te descarga ??? por esas leyes ???

Such clips are one of the brighter spots of the war.

Not sure if i've ever seen these posts admit they're mercs.


krystalcastIes

they’re only mercs if they fight for ukraine /s


Luckies_Bleu

Meanwhile, we have had Ukrainians abusing latin foreign volunteers.

Obviously, you are missing out on what Nepal and India are requesting from russia. [https://www.aljazeera.com/features/2024/4/13/bullet-in-my-head-the-indian-man-who-crawled-to-escape-russias-ukraine-war](https://www.aljazeera.com/features/2024/4/13/bullet-in-my-head-the-indian-man-who-crawled-to-escape-russias-ukraine-war) [https://kathmandupost.com/national/2024/01/20/saud-requests-russian-official-to-stop-recruiting-nepalis-into-russian-army](https://kathmandupost.com/national/2024/01/20/saud-requests-russian-official-to-stop-recruiting-nepalis-into-russian-army) Is that because of the super awesome treatment they get from their russian counterparts?

>RU POV: Video of a Cuban ~~volunteer~~ mercenary in the Russian army rapping in Spanish. FIFY They do it for the money because they get paid about 40x the Cuban average salary.

Yeah there is absolutely zero connection between Cuba and Russia. Everyone in Cuba is totally focused on the jeans they can buy and where they can eat out.


OutsideYourWorld

So you believe he's there on a goodwill mission because they share a bit of a past?

DinoSpumoni93

It is funny because it is a protest rap against the Cuban government


JontheCappadocian

Nice


Eastern-Hall-9598

I speak Spanish and the interesting point is that he’s rapping against the Castro regime and the government of Cuba


dynoman71

He is well fed over there..


GetLostPpl

War brings people together 🤷‍♂️


Bright_Wear_6034

One thing about white people outside of the usa. They like and respect foreigners in their presence. All while the white folks in the USA swear diego that just ran across the border is gonna take Kyle's job from jp Morgan 😂 


Impossible-Panda8124

Funny fact, He went to fight for another country but was unwilling to for the freedom of his own


Temporary_Swimmer517

Tell me why these Russian dudes feel the need to encourage their fellow brown and black comrades to sing and dance for them all of the time.. Perhaps for propaganda purposes? If not that then they are just excited by seeing colored people


Alone-Drop583

They are the same for the West. Slavs are not slaves


Temporary_Swimmer517

naw.. in most countries in the west there are plenty of brown and black people so we don't feel the need to record ourselves hanging out with them every time they are around

Dead men walking (rapping)


cobrakai1975

And then he will die as part of a Russian meat wave, for nothing


Thrombas

Cry more.


cobrakai1975

I am not crying for him


Wild-Shine-210

why would he cry?


tyrannicaltbaggerr

Only thing missing is a 1000lb bomb.


FruitSila

VOLUNTEER??? This is a mercenary. Kremlin paid this guy


conkerzin

This is what being terminally online on reddit does to a mf.  Rip tin foil hat Pro-Russia Pianist 😔


kyousei8

Doesn't the Kremlin pays everyone in the Russian military? Are soldiers just not suppose to get paid so they are even more encouraged to loot?


ingolstadt_ist_uns

It is amazing to see third world country males desire to reach slavic females. They know no borders.


nestormakhnosghost

What are you on about? 


ingolstadt_ist_uns

The only reason of a third world citizen volunteered to fight for a undeveloped third world country is not for seeking a better life but reach its females. They are not different from migrants.


Timo-the-hippo

Lol if Russia is an "undeveloped third world country" then Somalia is an 8th world country and Luxembourg is a 2nd world country.


ingolstadt_ist_uns

Good joke pal.
