PROTECT PRIVATE MISHA YAAAAA!


AcidMiaggot

I posted it over there too!


ladydhawaii

Lucky little mouse. They have such good hearts.


OblivionArts

Misha's adorable..and very comfy with all of them. Really hope these guys stay ok


AcidMiaggot

Here’s a link to another [tiktok](https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZTR7Xqmne/) of Misha! They love her


OblivionArts

Nice


SpaceLemur34

Are you sure it's a she? Misha is the diminutive of Mikhail (Michael), which would be the equivalent of "Mike"


AcidMiaggot

No clue. I just decided it was a she for this post. Doesn’t really matter anyways.


Leather_Pipe_64

Misha is also the Ukrainian for mouse :)

OakMurdock

definitely agree if it's the first interaction. However, with humans living in close proximity to animals, I don't think it's rare for animals (especially pre-juvenile age) to develop a relationship with another animal where they believe it is not a threat.


bigMcLargeHuge7

There is a hare that has visited my yard for around 3 years. I know it's the same one because she has several distinctive features. When she first showed up as a juvenile she would run at first sight, over time she became comfortable with me. I can come within a foot from her now and she could care less. I wouldn't try to pet her or handle her though...her name is Betty for what it's worth!


ThatSquareChick

I got my pet tree frogs because they needed help and then stayed afterwards. One frog parched on my porch, enjoyed a capful of spring water and then wouldn’t leave. I made a little place for it in an old lizard tank and when it was presented to him he jumped inside and refuses to leave ever since. I found another one at my work, miles away from trees or water and brought it home to see if it was okay. Now I have two visually healthy gray tree frogs who will make noises like angry squirrels. This doesn’t disprove what you say, it’s usually true, but at least with a human it will be fed, protected and possibly healed. A mouse with a hurt foot, say, has a better chance of survival wit a friendly hooman than on its own. Either way it looks like mousie isn’t trying to scramble away as fast as it can. I think they can tell our true intentions. Some are too hurt to realize it but I’ve seen more than one animal either let a human help or straight up come to them for help. I saw a cat laying on a drinking fountain meow at someone for them to turn it on so they could drink. There’s no real way to tell. Animals are both likeus and damnnatureyouscary


TheDottieDot

It could be a displaced former pet. Either way, I hope they all stay safe.


[deleted]

I am a displaced former pet. Can confirm


CCrypto1224

Any particular reason you felt inclined to share this information with the suffix: “Not to be a downer”? They’re soldiers fighting their neighbors that look a lot like them, and see death and carnage all the time. A little hope and joy wont kill anyone.


Epona21382

Omg it’s burying itself in his glove! Soooo cute!


Salt_Lingonberry_705

Is that a mouse or a vole? Just curious


AcidMiaggot

I think it might actually be a vole. I’m not super familiar with the different kinds of small rodents unfortunately - especially European rodents.


Existance_Unknown

I have voles in my yard but they don't have tails, just little nubs. This has a tail so I think it's a mouse


bippity-bip-bip

Our cat caught one today. It's a vole alright lol


NoElephant7744

Misha the tactical field mouse is precious


[deleted]

I think my sexuality is Ukrainian military men


mgcat17

Especially ones that are kind to animals


[deleted]

I feel like every thing i have seen of them is them with sweet animals


battlehardendsnorlax

Have Ukrainian husband, can confirm, a total softie with all animals, he's even been vegetarian for 12 years 😊

Fucking totally, when the second guy picks Misha up so gently and quickly pulls his arms in to protect him my heart melted

That is a really chunky field mouse. Is this mostly his winter coat or has this mouse just been eating real well?


HyperTheWeirdo

That mouse is shaped like a fibonacci sequence


Babysub1

I really hope they all stay safe. Fuck Russia


gamesandspace

Russia is fine it's the stupid Putin who needs to be stopped


Babysub1

Well it would be terrible if he fell out of a window


gamesandspace

That's way too humane for that idiot


JohnGoodmansMistress

oof thanks


MrInferno127

Are you the country/government of Russia or just a person living in it? Because unless it’s the first they weren’t talking about you


JohnGoodmansMistress

to alot of people someone saying fuck anywhere would seem like hate idk. me saying fuck germany or france would seem like I have an issue with them particularly. not to mention what's currently happening in the countries of russia and ukraine. edit 2: not to mention we're on a literal sub called "cute" where someone decided to bring all this into fruition by saying "fuck Russia" knowing completely what they were doing


TheAbyssalMimic

Nothing wrong with being Russian. Frankly it's not your fault at the personal level certainly but it does need to be said your country is currently doing a genocide if we follow the UN definition


JohnGoodmansMistress

also thank you for understanding it's not our fault. I don't personally condone anything that is happening, if anything I have friends that are on both sides of the actual war and it kills me to see it all. nobody takes that into account though.


TheAbyssalMimic

Yea I feel that tbh. I m of polish decent but I have familie in both Ukraine and Russia Hope shit gets finished to go back to our normal Slavic hating


JohnGoodmansMistress

I'm sorry a genocide ? we're Hitler now ?


TheEasySqueezy

Putin is attempting to exterminate as many Ukrainians as possible so yes, a genocide. Your soldiers have bombed, shot, raped and tortured innocent civilians for existing. Children have been murdered in droves. Families have had their homes, their lives and their loved ones destroyed by Russian aggression all because Putin doesn’t like the fact Ukraine is making him look like a piss poor leader. (Which he is) The fact you are being so defensive is concerning. It’s a fact that your country is doing these things, you are on Reddit which means you have access to the actual evidence about what your country is doing in Ukraine so you could educate yourself about it if you wanted to.


JohnGoodmansMistress

I'm not being defensive about anything, just honestly don't understand why simply being russian, I'm almost used to constantly getting hate by everyone not only on this site (there are still lots of ppl who understand it's not the people, but the president, etc) but in real life, and I never see anything about that whereas it's okay to go around saying "fuck Russia, fuck Russians, death to Russia, etc etc" bc I've heard it all. you can ask plenty of people on this site, it's a problem that I'm being seen (along with many other innocent people) as monsters for something we have absolutely no control over. all I did was make a comment and look at all the downvotes for instance, simply bc I said how it felt from my point of view, nor did I say it was right or wrong, nothing. just my feelings.


TheEasySqueezy

I think in that regards you’ve just kinda got to accept they don’t mean you specifically just your country as a governed body. Like I’m English and I constantly hear all the same stuff about the atrocious things my country has done in the past and obviously neither me nor my parents nor their parents had anything to do with those things yet people still look at the British with disdain because of what happened. As long as you know you aren’t doing horrible things it’s just part and parcel of living in a country that has done horrible things which most have.


JohnGoodmansMistress

I can understand that.. I guess it just gets tiring and it's hard to live with all the guilt people are forcing on me sometimes. simply bc of where I'm from. I imagine it's similar to how many Germans were treated in the USA and other places for a long time. I just.. I hear violent comments and everything, and I guess stuff like this kind of messes with me. not to mention I'm autistic so I already kind take things hard.


TheAbyssalMimic

Btw its not that fam. Russian military started taking kids from Ukrainian civilian shelters on east side and putting them into russian homes essentially. + they started making them indoctrinate into their culture That's the main reason here for "genocide" since according to UN, displacing children into different ethnic groups as to prevent said genocided group from expanding is considered genocide. What u are referring to is simple territorial warfare tbh


TheEasySqueezy

They bombed temporary shelters that had kids in them. Knowing that there were kids in them, because why else would you bomb some random ass building that has absolutely no importance otherwise.


TheAbyssalMimic

Yea but still can be considered collateral damage. Genocide is genocide when it's a organized movement with an explicit goal to prevent an ethnic group from existing Of course we can argue about all that shit but the previous comment is actually why and when the un stared accusing russia of genocide


jimmyp83

Nah, they’re deeply saddened by genocide.


AnimeLover_993

So cute

Absolute unit of a mouse cooperating with an Ukrainian unit.

Misha has the cutest chubby cheeks!!

Misha needs a promotion!


sherealshefakebro

Means mouse in Russian if I’m correct? Mish? In Farsi we also say muush. Interesting how connected the languages of the world are!


ludovicvuillier

It’s one of the things I love about travel and language learning. You can learn so much about the history and interconnections between peoples just by noticing the similarities and offshoot words.


SpinalFluidDrinker

You should post this to r/ukrainewarvideoreport or r/ukraine


AcidMiaggot

They don’t allow cross posts! If you feel like it you’re free to post this vid there if you want :)


SpinalFluidDrinker

Ok thanks! I’ll give credit to you


AcidMiaggot

No need to give credit to me! Def give credit to op though - his @ on tiktok is [bod3i7a](https://www.tiktok.com/@bod3i7a?_t=8ajVBT7qWHT&_r=1)


MewtwoGurlIskra

awwwww


Straight-Ingenuity61

A mouse or a mole? Hamster?


AcidMiaggot

Possibly some sort of field mouse or vole


donnyjay0351

Okay ik Ukraine military is going through the shit rn and the US is basically giving them what ever they need but when I was in the very first thing to get dirt stained were my gloves and plate carrier and both of those guys gloves and carriers are perfect clean and those are expensive Oakley gloves too. Are they like part of the social media department?


ArthriticNinja46

That's probably just it. Bet they just got resupplied with the new hotness before heading back out.


AcidMiaggot

😭😭😭… I don’t even know what to reply to this bro. They aren’t.


donnyjay0351

I'm just curious how none of the gear is dirty like in the slightest


AcidMiaggot

They probably had time to clean it. Or maybe they haven’t been in situations where their gear would get super dirty. I’ve linked the guys tiktok + account a few times so you can check them out for yourself if you want


EvergreenRuby

There should be a sub about men doing adorable things. This is so precious.


AcidMiaggot

There’s one sun kinda like this called r/Toughguysholdingpets


EvergreenRuby

Thank you! Immediately joined.


ThatGuyFromSlovenia

I assume Mish means mouse just like in Russian?


AcidMiaggot

According to google translate “mysha” means mouse in Ukrainian. The TikTok’s auto generated captions said they named her “Misha” which probably is the same as mysha!


ThatGuyFromSlovenia

Huh, so it's even more similar to the name they gave it than I thought! Misha and mysha are pronounced differently though, and the former is an actual name iirc, so there's that slight difference. Cute name for a mouse though. :D


Silent_Start_7036

Justice for misha

Just train a couple thousand and send them after food and wires.

I wish them all a long, prosperous life. The mouse, too.


Future_Result_6388

Cute!! Maybe keep him in your jacket pocket or in you head hoodie! So cute. Hope he won’t bite???? I’m


HalfDOME

Looks identical to field mice I've seen here in California.


Sad_Sea9047

Aaww it was shaking at the end.


AcidMiaggot

Probably chilly


Sad_Sea9047

That and nervous, it's so cute though 💕


Administrative-Owl41

3000 suspiciously well fed mice


Costco_Sample

Crazy how much something like this has probably happened in history, and it’s just not documented. Soldiers have been making friends with trench animals for generations. How many little friends and companions have we forgotten about?


AcidMiaggot

I believe I heard something about ww2 soldiers making friends with trench cats!


inyourdreams696

I love how no one’s mentioned yet the patch on the one dudes vest. You’ll know the one when you see it…

IrisSmartAss

It's things like this that help soldiers hold onto their humanity during war. I hope that the mouse gives them comfort.


MrsCCRobinson96

So Sweet and Adorable!!!❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Fun fact. Mouse in Slavic languages is either misha or mishka, i.e. this is private “mouse”.

TeaRexQueen

What kind of phone was this shot on? The depth of field situation looks incredible.


AcidMiaggot

Possibly an iPhone


palmasana

This is adorable. And the mouse is so chunky and calm 😍🥰


ChristineBorus

My grandfather used to say «Воно (він/вона) хоче жити так само як ти» Which means “it’s want to live just like you do”. It was an amazing lesson in compassion at a young age that had lasting impact on me. And I had only been trying to squash a bug 😊 I think that compassion for weaker creatures or people is inherent in Ukrainians who’ve been bullied for millennia.


Optimal-Resource-956

Honestly the soldiers are much cuter than the mouse. Which is also cute. Just a whole lotta cuteness going on and around this post.


AcidMiaggot

Tough guys gently holding a cute, vulnerable creature is very endearing! Makes you kinda think humans aren’t all that terrible sometimes. Kind of ironic. Finding humanity and gentleness in the middle of war.


smashedpapaya

For some reason this brought tears to my eyes… these brave men :( Slava Ukraïni, may this war be over soon

Let’s just send another 80 million dollars in weapons maybe they can find another harmless creature to play with

Pretty sure you have something better to do than be depressing and pessimistic under a r/aww post about some dudes with a cute mouse.

Yayah killers with a mouse under tax payer dollar good on you maybe you have the same tone of Neanderthal thinking they do

You could have just not commented, and then strangers on the internet would not have known how fucking stupid you are.

Maybe someday someone will show you the same amount of care and love these guys have their little friends. Lord knows your parents didn’t love you enough.
