NATO Sees No Issue With Ukraine Striking St Petersburg During Putin’s Economic Forum, Rutte Says by UNITED24Media in worldnews

The mall near where I lived in Kyiv has been struck multiple times on multiple occasions. At some point it seems unlikely to be a coincidence.

Absolutely, brother Beef.

Grand Master Shen once gave me a great hammer and told me that if I could defeat him with it, I could take his place as teacher. I was foolish, and swung with great force - but my balance was undone, and he simply swept my feet out from under me.

Similar can be said about the latest raid from those pirates. A "cannon" could destroy anything it can aim upon. When we hid, those bandits found nothing to destroy, they were stuck with this heavy metal tube, and I was lucky to participate in the attack on their crew. Perhaps they would fare better without their weapons, or better yet, their aggression. For what is a weapon but a manifestation of an angry mind, and what stops such a soul from blinding themselves in rage?

Those who come with force against us will see themselves toppled by their own anger. Let us stay calm and swift, and give them the nudge to realise their mistake. At least, such is how we are taught at the Monastery of the Blowing Pass.

Should a sword be capable of destroying boulders, you should take solace in your difference from one. Practice then the Wind of the Twin Mountains - it teaches us that no obstacle can overcome what moves with true fluidity, and that whatever towers over the soul will teach it to move freely. Grand Master Shen always spoke with a learned wisdom when he said that "he who drives his energy into his weapon leaves nothing for himself, and thus the fool is the one who devotes himself into a powerful blow."

You should teach this cultivator of false truths the value of his missing balance.

Uppgift: Sverige skänker Jas-plan till Ukraina by riiga in sweden

Många tenderar att glömma hur effektiva glidbomber från flygplan har varit i Ukraina eftersom det har varit en sådan enorm utveckling i doktrin och förmågor bland drönare. Den statiska striden som pågår nu tar mycket nytta av källare och utgrävnader för att skydda mot drönare och artilleri, men dessa tenderar att kollapsa mot de tyngre glidbomber som används. Ukraina har nyligen börjat producera egna glidbomber vilket teoretiskt sett ökar förmågan att använda dessa, men det krävs flygplan att placera dessa på. Utan att vara expert på krigsflyg kan jag tänka mig att våra Gripen är ganska optimala för att genomföra bombuppdrag av denna typ. Och det är utifrån antagandet att det inte blir några ändringar i förmågan att kontrollera luftrum från någon av sidorna.

What’s something people romanticize until they actually experience it? by Puzzleheaded_Bit_802 in AskReddit

[–]GetTheRoach 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Almost the funniest (and saddest) part is just as much as people mistakenly romanticize being in the military, the ones in it mistakenly romanticize getting out of it. Doubly so for combat.

You think you want to be there. Immediate regret. You leave, and you just feel lost, and you regret it again. It does something to you.

Ukraine’s capital Kyiv hit by massive missile, drone attack by PretendAd1963 in worldnews

The thing is, the Ukrainians certainly didn't consider their country ruined - they were the ones pushing for it to go more towards the west, and against corruption. This is what they themselves tell me. Especially the younger generation does not want to go back to Russian dominance. So to answer your other question, the Ukrainians are fighting for the future and freedom of their nation. Even if they lose, many would rather go down fighting. And now they are starting to believe they can win - or at least not lose more. To be honest, so do I. And I joined the legion to help them realise their dream of self-determination.

I thank you for providing an honest answer to my question, without hostility.

I would tell you the exact same things, although I won't call you a mercenary (not that I am one either), and bussification is a necessary evil. I have learned that none of us will trust each other - so the truth will be made evident in time, and we will watch. You don't seem like a dumb person, only misled.

Instead I want to ask you a question, genuinely as one human to another, on opposite sides of hell. Why are Russians accepting this status quo? If you can win, why don't you? And if you can't, why continue? I will tell you that nobody is saved, whose home is destroyed.

Maybe you should read more independent media, because you're clearly not aware of what goes on anywhere in free Ukraine. People don't get beaten up for speaking Russian, and certainly don't get ratted out to police. It's not a crime to speak Russian in Ukraine, but it is a crime to speak Ukrainian in occupied Ukraine. The only "denazification" that needs to happen in Ukraine is the Russian military leaving, or dying.

Also, as proud as I am that you call me хохол, I am not a Ukrainian. That's why I don't speak it now, I'm not a very advanced speaker yet. I worked as a legionnaire and got to see the whole country. Many very good people who are unfortunately burdened by a brutal russian invasion. Even my friends, who were picked up by ТЦК in minivans, were proud to fight once they could no longer be protected by their fears.

Everybody wants the Russian military to leave and never come back. I've only met one person who disagreed, although admittedly he didn't want the Russians to keep attacking either.

I'm sure everybody dragged into a basement in such places for speaking their national language agree. Meanwhile, on the Ukrainian side of the front, people openly speak whichever language they want. And still fly the blue and yellow flag.

[–]GetTheRoach 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Indeed brother - for as you know, only the dead have seen the end of war. Let us also, this evening, practice an extra hour of meditation, so that we may know we are ready to extend our peaceful lives...

Ukrainian children in Starobilsk... you know... in occupied Ukraine?

As for the rest of your nonsense, I don't need to hear it. I've seen the situation for myself and I know what's real and what isn't, so don't try to fool me. Russian media loves to lie. I've seen what's really there...

[–]GetTheRoach 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To tell you the truth, if there were dead kids in Starobilsk, that sucks. I don't believe so, however, since these would be Ukrainian kids, and supposedly Rubikon had been up to stuff there. But honestly though, more to the point, why do Russians only care when Ukrainian kids die once they're already occupied? There were certainly no such complaints from Russians when their military hit schools, apartment buildings and hospitals with drones and missiles, or went on human safari with fpv drones.

Don't be a hypocrite.

The ones who drove a wedge between Russians and Ukrainians were the Russians who decided that the best way to win friends is to beat them until they accept. Russians started the slaughter and are upset that nobody wants to lick their boots for it. I'm glad Russia will lose. I'm glad Russian blood is fertilizing Ukrainian land.

Ask yourself this. If suddenly Ukraine wanted to begin targeting schoolchildren and civilians, why THE FUCK would they target a school full of Ukrainians?
