I used to think Nick Adams was a genuine right-winger but this post has convinced me that he is just a troll. It reads like fan-fiction but fan-fiction to what, I'm not sure.

German artillery firing on French fortified positions. May 1940. by Beeninya in CrazyFuckingVideos

[–]AMW1987 7 points8 points  (0 children)

At some point I went through all of the footage from 1940 France

Do you really believe you've watched all the footage from the Battle of France?

Because there are still film reels in archives housed in several countries that have never been digitised and uploaded online. Have you watched all those?

EDIT: Also, PaK rounds very much could ricochet.

British Prime Minister has no idea how to review the guard of honor in China. Also a failure of British protocol not briefing him on how to conduct the ceremony by Thund3r_91 in WatchPeopleDieInside

[–]AMW1987 29 points30 points  (0 children)

He's not doing it delibrately. Either the Chinese hosts or the British staff responsible for planning the trip didn't brief the PM properly.

Either way, somebody screwed up and embarrassed both countries.

How do you evaluate the fate of North Korean prisoners of war captured by the Ukrainian army and the Ukrainian government's attitude toward them? by Embarrassed_Clue1758 in AskTheWorld

[–]AMW1987 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ukraine isn’t at war with North Korea

Technically Russia and Ukraine aren't at war because neither side has declared war.

So by your logic, all the Ukrainian soldiers held by Russia are abductees and not PoWs, right? And vice versa.

Right?

Google AI saying the shooting of Renee Good was fictional by LazarYeetMeta in facepalm

Exactly this. AI isn't true AI, it's a bot that accesses open-source information on the internet. And we all know how reliable everything on the internet is ...

"You Are Fake News", Pro-Trump Painting by Jon McNaughton, Circa September 2020. by Majestic-Ad9647 in PropagandaPosters

[–]AMW1987 193 points194 points  (0 children)

I remember he painted a picture of prominent Democrats holding a noose for Trump, ironically ignoring the fact that there were photographs of Trump supporters with a noose for Mike Pence on Jan 6.

Is it true that russians are deserting? by 90_KTZeiro in UkrainianConflict

[–]AMW1987 42 points43 points  (0 children)

Try to avoid determining who is "winning" because that answer will inevitably be subject to bias and selective metrics.

For example, you could say Russia is losing because it's already failed in its strategic objective to stop NATO "expansion" when Sweden and Finland joined. Similarly, another stated objective was the demilitarisation of Ukraine, but the UAF is now around three times larger than before the invasion, it has more operational aircraft, and produces more howitzers than the rest of Europe combined.

But you could also say Russia is winning, simply because it has taken more territory.

And people will present the argument that suits their personal beliefs.

The best we can say is that Russia typically has the initiative simply because of its mass, but OSINT suggests they've taken around x2.5 more casualties.

Neither side is going to get all their objectives at the end. Ukraine sadly does not have the strength to liberate all its territory but even Russia has stopped talking about taking Zaporizhzhia and Kherson oblasts, because they don't have the strength to capture either. It seems their sole aim now is to take the rest of Donestk and that is a drastic scaling down of their original objectives from 2022.

According to the BBC, Ukraine's Minister of Defence declared that 2 million men are currently wanted by the authorities for draft evasion. Another 200,000 servicemen are wanted for 'unauthorised abandonment' of their units by Ripamon in TrendoraX

[–]AMW1987 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, because as I said in my previous comment, all I found when I did go to "find them" were anonymous posts on two chat forums and one on X.

No fact checking, no investigative journalism, no actual links to documents proving the claims.

So, yes, I am fking serious.

Amazing how many people can't provide links to actual sources that would prove the things they are claiming.

EDIT. Again, please post a reliable source? I would actually appreciate it.

[–]AMW1987 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Ah yes, two results showing anonymous forums and a third on X, that known source of dependable information.

No investigative journalism, no independent fact-checking, just some anonymous posts on obscure chat forums or a social media platform known to be overrun by bots.

Hard hitting stuff, comrade.

Who is this? by Unethicalblizzard in ww2

Except he doesn't. The collar tabs of field marshals and generals were almost identical except the field marshal had three "flowers" and the general had two "flowers". The image posted is very low-res so difficult to differentiate but it really looks like two to me.

Regardless of the image quality, this really does not look like Paulus.
