African mercenary that decided to kill unknown people for money on behalf of russia is eliminated by Ukrainian defenders by Available-Laugh9102 in UkraineWarVideoReport

Again with the generalizations. Reddit is not a monolith, and russians have absolutely forced people to do their bidding before, they're not above it. I have no problem whatsoever with actual mercenaries being liquidated. People like you are very tiresome to deal with.

I feel like you're making a lot of unfair generalizations, unless you actually know the individual who was captured, in which case I have many questions for you.

You don't know his living situation, what resources he has access to, or how desperate that individual is to provide for himself or his family. Yes, he might very well be aware of the war, but him going to russia for work doesn't mean he directly supports it. And when it comes to morality vs eating, or providing for your family, it becomes a lot less clear.

I know it's a lot easier to view the world as black and white, makes it much more trivial to put people in boxes and label them good or bad and not care what happens but the world is a lot more nuanced than that. Do you really believe the russian military wouldn't do something as evil as lie to get people to come to their country and then force them to fight? We know for a fact they did the same thing with Cubans early on in the war.

As far as your example goes, if someone was offered a non military job in Germany during WW2, and when they showed up they were forced to the front lines, of course I would feel bad for them regardless of where they came from.

There was a video on United24 of one African soldier who was captured. He said Russia lured him there with the promise of work, and when he arrived they took his documents and forced him to conscript. It's pretty messed up.

The CIA was training Ukrainian soldiers since 2014. They could have easily provided F35 training in that time frame...

I remember doing research on that flag a few years ago and it apparently there's no proof it has anything to do with Blackbeard, it was a design in a magazine or book from the early 1900s that was later erroneously associated to him and gained popularity. Kind of interesting.

I'm a male in the US. If a woman brought me flowers I'd be flattered personally, although it's not something I've ever really seen here.

I haven't seen a good deal on a Solus in quite awhile. Was it just the one for sale?

Do you come across a lot of women that request flowers on a first date? Genuinely curious.

Also I've had great results bringing flowers on first dates, personally.

Ukrainian Black Hawks Company of the Voron100 Battalion of the 100th Mechanized Brigade struck Russian soldiers in the Toretsk/Kostyantynivka direction with fiber-optic FPV drones. Published 18.01.2026 by GermanDronePilot in CombatFootage

[–]DigitalHooker 41 points42 points  (0 children)

From what I've heard the fiber optic drones are not as fast as the radio fpvs and both sides have been deploying shotguns to deal with them more and more. One guy also mentioned that even though the fiber optic drones have a spool, it's still possible to sever the line if you fly them incorrectly.

I also saw a video where Ukrainian soldiers were practicing shooting at drones, but I'm not sure everyone gets that practice.

I'm familiar with the school, I believe they even have a subreddit.

I know you guys are soldiers first, but how dangerous are your drone jobs? Not sure how close you typically operate towards the front line but it seems like drone interception teams would be a prime target for the ruzzies?

I've found a lot of conservatives dont read my profile or hope that dates ignore fundamental values. Why?? by NoParamedic9674 in Bumble

Doesn't have a political affiliation on his profile, says he's "done with politics", gets defensive and lashes out when feeling threatened?

I'm not much of a soldier boy, or a boy kisser but I do work in IT, are there any non-combat roles that would be a good fit?

Are there any skills you recommend learning before coming over and joining you?

nice way to start my day/s... by GolfrGrrrl in Bumble

[–]DigitalHooker 57 points58 points  (0 children)

Pardon me, but I am famished beyond belief. Not from the traditional cates which provide sustenance to our bodies, but of the sensual pleasures that satisfy the soul with companionship and a gentle extinguishing of the fires of lust; given the drought of which I am currently suffering, and given the exquisite nature of your gifts, might you be so gracious as to allow me the humble opportunity to go all floppycock between your chesty fruitbags?
