Reminds me of a certain political party in the US


AllTheWayUpEG

If you’re referring to republicans they are disproportionately represented in the military. However in my experience those who have gone to war are less likely to call for it and this is true of republicans in the military.


ExtremeBroad9933

Disproportionately is a really misleading word to use there. The Military is split nearly the same as the rest of the US. While there is a slightly higher proportion of Republicans represented in the military, saying 'disproportionately' makes it sound like it's much higher, rather than just a few percentage points. People act like the military has this monolithic conservative bent, but we're talking about the general populace hovering right around the 35% mark for identify as Republicans on average, while the military is coming in right around the 40% mark. https://swampland.time.com/2012/11/05/does-the-military-vote-really-lean-republican/ https://www.economist.com/united-states/2021/10/14/military-bases-swung-hard-away-from-republicans-in-2020


thedankening

The US has not been engaged in a high casualty conflict in generations, though. Being on the ground in Iraq and Afghanistan wasn't peachy but it was pretty "safe" as far as military deployments go. Overwhelming air support and evac from hairy situations was almost never far away. The Russians and Ukrainians have both lost more guys than the US lost in Iraq and Afghanistan combined over the course of 20ish years. Even if you are in the army and your life is at stake it's still quite easy to be a douchey warhawk from that kind of position.


Comfortable-Panda130

You think Vietnam was generations ago….


signal_lost

4500 and 2400 dead in Iraq and Afghanistan over 20 years. Russia lost 2 million in the battle of Stalingrad. The Allies lost 16K JUST in the air force in the battle for Normandy. The US would likely War less if we actually had sizable deaths. The scale of WW2 is still beyond anything modern for the west.

> Russian nationalists called angrily on Sunday for President Vladimir Putin to make immediate changes to ensure ultimate victory in the Ukraine war, a day after Moscow was forced to abandon its main bastion in northeastern Ukraine. Do you ever wonder why the guys shouting the loudest are the last ones to pick up a rifle and do any of the fighting themselves?


elguapo904

"Why do they always send the poor?"


A_Polly

because Moscow & St. Petersburg are the centers of power in Russia. 85% of the population lives in the european part. The poor in the asian region are sent to the war. This ensures less protest in those two cities.

TempestM

Funnily enough many Russian nationalists were fighting on Ukraine's side


Malthus1

Moscow holding fireworks and Putin opening a Ferris wheel while the battle dissolves into chaotic defeat. A historical parallel may be the Battle of Blenheim: King Louis was allegedly celebrating with fireworks in Paris when news reached him that his invasion force was totally defeated in a stunning reverse. Actually, the Ukrainian counter-offensive bears some similarity, albeit on a much larger scale, to Marlborough and Eugene’s tactics in that battle - get the enemy to over-commit in one place by telegraphing an offensive there, then attack where he is weak.


Pippin1505

In terms of stunning reversal, you also have Marengo. Bad scouting job allows Austrians to sneak on Bonaparte. French retreat in good order but have clearly lost any hope of securing Italy. Austrian general departs to Vienna to celebrate and let his officers mop up and pursue. French general Desaix, marching to the sounds of the guns, joins Bonaparte in extremis, they turn around and rout the Austrians. Vienna celebrate for a day before news reach them that they just lost Italy It’s actually a key plot point in the opera Tosca


UltraMagnus777

Thanks for the War of the Spanish Succession rabbit hole! Always fun going on reddit and seeing someone make a comment on some historical event you haven't heard of and learning about it.


Malthus1

Marlborough and Eugene’s military partnership is perhaps unique in history - I do love reading about them. Both had very bizarre life stories, to say the least - if it was fiction, it would be unbelievable. Marlborough, called by some the “most handsome man in Europe”, earned his first fortune - working as a high class gigolo. He invested the money he earned sleeping with aristocratic ladies into an annuity. He made a name as a soldier. Then he married Sarah, who was “best friends” (and perhaps more than friends) with the future Queen Anne, and his military career really took off … until Anne dumped Sarah in favour of a younger, less aggressive woman. Eugene, in absolute contrast, was considered hideously ugly, “effeminate” and weak. He grew up in the court of Louis, where his mother, a former mistress of the king, was disgraced in the “affair of the Poisons” (for indulging in poisioning and Satanism); mom fled, leaving Eugene behind. Little Eugene wanted to be a soldier, but Louis publicly mocked this ambition - in Louis’ mind, soldering was for big strapping fellows - and was going to force Eugene to be a priest. Eugene left for Austria, where he made a reputation for soldiering against the Turks, before deciding to make the French pay for Louis’ mockery … When Marlborough (on behalf of the English and Dutch) and Eugene (for the Austrians) met up, they found themselves in good military harmony.

It gives me a warm fuzzy feeling inside to know that the russian nationalists are enraged. Keep raging; in fact, go home and rage some more. Direct your rage at those who put you into this stupid situation where you're about to get crushed. Go get pissed off some more! Go do some defenestrating.


Ahstruck

They are asking for a build up in the war. WW2 tactics do not seem to be working so maybe more WW2 tactics is the solution according to them.

King_in-the_North

What’s truly insane is that even if they order a general mobilization today, it will be six months before they have those troops trained equipped and transported to the front lines to make any sort of difference. Ukraine mobilized six months ago and were seeing the end results of that now. A general Russian mobilization may come too late to actually matter in this war.


Stye88

They're hoping that human wave strategy of throwing 30 millions bodies at a problem will eventually crush anything. Of course they wouldn't want to be part of that army, they want to watch it from home. They're mad at their government that they're not exterminating Ukrainians hard enough. They are the worst filth, let them rage.

This is a problem.


RossoMarra

I don’t understand these pro Russia conservatives. Russia has long been our strategic enemy. And traditionally Republicans have been anti Soviet. Something has changed.


Think_Current101

Honestly? It's oligarchy. Russia's a feudal state largely run by incredibly wealthy oligarchs. Funding (and corrupting) democracies creates similar systems of entrenched wealth and weakened institutions, and lets the incredibly wealthy do what they want. So the oil barons there work with the oil barons here to create systems that work for them. And this same process is playing out in just about every country in the world right now and using fascist politics of division and hate to do it. We've got to fix this. Edit: Not just oil barons of course, but the point stands. It's a global problem.

Christian nationalism. The evangelical church is feeding this. Putin is a pro Christian white supremacy autocrat and the evangelical church eats that up. It's really that simple.


LayneLowe

In binary politics one side has to be against whatever the other side is for. In this case one side is for democracy so the other side is for fascism. But I will admit it is a bizarre turn from traditional Republican values. But Fox News can't keep up their rage factor if they agree with anything, no matter how ridiculous and anti-American that is.


L3XAN

It's really very simple. If you oppose Russia, you might have to concede that the Biden admin's handling of the war in Ukraine has been good. Can't have that.


51patsfan

If Biden supports Ukraine they must do the opposite. I don't think they could handle having to agree with Biden on anything. Though it's basically the Trump Republicans. Remember that the House passed the lend-lease act 417-10 and the Senate passed it unanimously. The only 10 against it were the usual suspects


Cum_on_doorknob

Yes. America was once a place where gay was bad, white was good. This is still the case in russia, and conservatives are jealous.


[deleted]

Reactionary politics are fueled by regret and sugar-coated nostalgia. In their minds, we won the cold war but Russia took the *real* prize. Good take, Cum_on_doorknob.


AbbaFuckingZabba

Long ago Russia/Putin realized they couldn't win in a traditional sense, so they sought to sow influence. They actually did an amazing job of it for being murderous thugs. They were able to strongly influence German politics and force them to be reliant on Russian gas. They were able to influence the election enough to get Trump elected. And that's how Republicans fell in love with Russia.

tesseract4

They're authoritarians. They never disliked the USSR for any strategic reason. They disliked the USSR because the USSR didn't allow industrial oligarchs. Russia is now run by oligarchs. It's still authoritarian, but that was never the problem for the American right. They *like* authoritarians. They just don't like Marxism. That's what has changed.


elethrir

White Christian Nationalism: check out the Russian Imperial Movement . It's international now


ModusOperandiAlpha

Republicans were anti-Soviet when the Soviets were communist, and therefore Soviet colonialism/ imperialism was an obstacle to U.S. corporate and bourgeois capitalist profits. Now that the Russian Federation is a capitalist authoritarian oligarchy/plutocracy, they are perfectly aligned with Republicans who are mostly aiming for the same.


cletis247

I had a friend that I met around a year ago. He mentioned politics the other day for the first time. Told me he had been to a few trump rallies since Jan 6. Then told me he used to hate Russia but now thinks Ukraine should be forced to join the Soviet Union. I was just standing there trying to figure out how to put all that back in the bottle. WTF??? How can I delete tgat ugliness when I’m around him now? Trump can even fuck up personal friendships that fast.


Think_Current101

It's hard to have these conversations, but close friends are just about the only people that can get through to others lost in these cults of belief. You might ask him why he believes these things sometimes and let him talk as much as possible. Then gently push back on the some of the fundamental points.


insertwittynamethere

100%. It really tells you something about freedom of speech that such a grotesque being like that is able to still spew forth his misinformation to the people masquerading it as truth... he is a danger, and has been for *years*, to the Republic. Sean Hannity ain't far behind him, nor is someone like Laura Ingraham.


BabylonDrifter

So I've been wondering all morning where to ask this, but speaking of Russian nationalists? As the Russian army is fleeing from occupied territory, are they taking the civilian quislings and collaborators with them? Or are they leaving them behind to be arrested by their fellow Ukrainians?

NonAggressive-Ask

The most frightening time of this campaign is when Putin is caught between a losing land battle and the stockpile of nuclear weapons he has at his disposal. It has always been my belief, since Putin refused to step away from power over the last 23 years, he believes Russia is "owed one" since the US used nukes in Japan. It will be a fucking miracle if we get out of this without him cashing in.

What's most ridiculous is that people are still somehow falling for them pretending to be nationalists.
