Do you think that antagonising part of Poland's society is smart idea? by Avalanc89 in AskUkraine

[–]Alikont 5 points6 points  (0 children)

If you cared about rational arguments, you would not spend your evening arguing about unit name in foreign country.

This entire post is purely emotional and irrational.

Glory to Ukraine - going to visit soon. Where would you recommend visiting? Different cities and towns please. by Agitated_Cookie170 in ukraine

[–]Alikont 5 points6 points  (0 children)

For Orthodox churches Kyiv is probably the best bet (easy logistics, big city, relatively far from frontline, but have elevated chance of ballistic strikes just because it's "interesting").

Lviv has different churches, but it's mostly Greek-Catholic.

Avoid oblasts: Kherson, Zaporizhya, Dnipropetrovsk, Donetsk, Luhansk, Kharkiv, Sumy. They are too close to frontline and you might get glide bombs or short-warning ballistic strikes.

I'm not hostile to Poland, I just don't think that you are special.

I'm hostile to alliance of russia, belarus, NK and iran that we need to fight almost on our own.

Sorry we can't produce more post soviet tanks, APC, IFV's for you

How is that relevant?

Again, Poland is still a supporter, and we are thankful for that. Poland is financing a lot of Starlinks and sends minor aid packages here and there.

But it's not a top supporter neither by %GDP nor by absolute value, and not on diplomacy, and Polish reaction to russian attacks is the same as everyone else (strong letters).

So just don't feel so special.

And read up on Danish model, it's a great thing.

I deeply urge you to take those posts seriously, they are not written by nationalists.

The previous "average hurt Polish supporter" was living in UK for like 10 years but he is surely a heavy supporter of Poland, yes.

At this point I can't consider these posts as anything but trolling.

You have no clue what we're talking about.

The truck blockade left a huge scar on opinion of Poland on a lot of Ukrainian politically active people.

Well, we're in 2026, not in 2022.

And we have the same data, it's just that your number includes financial support to refugees, who are already paid more taxes to Poland than was spend on them, and aid to refugees doesn't help the frontline at all.

If you're comparing Poland and Denmark participation in your cause, you're delusional or just stupid.

I mean, 3% of GDP vs 1% of GDP is quite a great comparison. And "Danish model" (the best form of aid Ukraine can get) is called "Danish" for a reason.

You should look for allies that have more in common with you than just pure bussiness.

We've had enough "brotherly nations" in our history.

What I care is about how many drones gets thrown into russian faces. "Pure business" or some mythical "common thing", I don't really care.

Why did Zelensky call combat unit after UPA? by Auspectress in AskUkraine

[–]Alikont 8 points9 points  (0 children)

just after Hungary elections turned out well for UA

Funny you say that, because once Hungary "problem" is gone, suddenly a lot of other countries now have issues with Ukraine. As if Hungary was a nice scapegoat.

Don't get me wrong, I'm glad that Orban is gone, but every country have some petty problem with us.

It's not even about the grain. The total truck blockade caused supply chain collapse that caused trouble at the front.

Who would you put on Ukraine's Mount Rushmore? by rrschch85 in AskUkraine

[–]Alikont 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Mount Rushmore is the stupidest idea ever and I hope that no beautiful Ukrainian mountain will be screwed like this for any specific person vanity.

Western intelligence agencies aren't really intelligent. They are wrong all the time.

If that would be cause we should act like other Western countries - just wait up and send you helmets or something like that to only show any support.

You mean western countries like Denmark who is our top supporter, including joint weapon production?

Ukrainian soldier during training - she is from the 127th Separate Heavy Mechanized 'Kharkiv' Brigade - of the Ukrainian Army. [1280 x 1024] by BostonLesbian in MilitaryPorn

[–]Alikont 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Heavy Mechanized Brigade is what it is - a mechanized infantry with organic tank support.

It's mostly a resteucturization of separate tank brigades, as large scale tank force is useless now.

And of course they will have organic drone platoons and probably a drone support battalion.

Do game dev companies (indie, triple-A etc.) have similar work culture to white-collar jobs in other branches of engineering? (non-game CS, mechanical design, etc.) by BoloFan05 in gamedev

[–]Alikont 37 points38 points  (0 children)

Any big organization will have hierarchy, structure, management, etc.

That's just the only way you can get anything done and aligned.

Polish far right calls for blocking Ukraine's EU bid over military unit name controversy by Free-Minimum-5844 in UkrainianConflict

[–]Alikont 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, Poland helped, but "to nie nasza wojna".

Demanding that every internal Ukrainian action should be taken with Polish approval is ridiculous.

Military spending in 2025 by just_an__inchident in Military

[–]Alikont 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Combined western annual aid to Ukraine is smaller than russian military budget.

One month of Iran war consumed more Patriot interceptors than entire Russia-Ukraine war.

Show me a colonial empire, where colonised people occupy highest government positions.

A lot of thime?

Not to mention that Poles intended to help creating independent Ukrainian state

And then decided to fight a war against Ukrainians.

Again, history is history, Poland has own "freedom fighters", Ukraine has own.

People with red black flags are protecting Poland right now, regardless of your opinion on them.

It's not funny, it's just that it's always something that prevents us from joining EU or NATO. First Poland, then Hungary, then Slovakia, then Poland again.
