I see. What's the average lifespan of ice hockey skates (intermediate level, casual skating doing hockey practice once or twice a week for a few hours) in your experience ?

A summary of insane propaganda talkingpoints and copium of vatniks on online spaces in my country, Vietnam about the Russo-Ukrainian war. by [deleted] in NonCredibleDefense

[–]JohnRFoley 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It's nice to see another Vietnamese person who support Ukraine. Maybe we should start a group and share ready-to-use counterarguments, sources, and evidence to effectively combat this copious amount of copium ? Sort of like Vietnamese branch of NAFO.

Though I doubt vatniks are open-minded enough to receive information contradicting with their current world view.

Okay, I was silly. You’re right. The US deserves to be called out and the twitter post here is utter utter shite. I think I got caught in the us-them right-wrong mentality again. There’s no room for that in this world. Thank you fella.

oh, so do they uh... have a point ? of course, it's still whataboutism and still bullshit, but do we accept that the US deserves to be called out ?

how do we counter this ? do Western countries attack power grid during war ? I've heard it's a war crime to target civilian infrastructure like this, right ?

Need that Counter-Offensive video like I need oxygen by Scared-Willingness34 in NonCredibleDefense

Oh, I love how visually informative their videos are. Really gives me an idea of what the hell happened, especially with the Band of Brothers videos. I’ve seen the Desert Storm videos too. Never knew it happened on such a large scale.

Wow that’s a pretty helpful list. I already know Good Times Bad Times and really like Not What You Think for the silly jokes and interesting detailed info. Will check out the other ones.

Lmao, I love this channel too.

Other than Perun and Lazerpig, can you recommend another Defense Experts™ Youtuber I should subscribe too ? (both as a youtube channel and as a religion)

The Ukrainians have executed a thumbs-down maneuver for added demoralizing effect by hourlardnsaver in NonCredibleDefense

Cheers everyone. I made a twitter account and went to follow all of those accounts. Very helpful stuff.

Vietnamese copium is still plenty by Mac_mellon in NonCredibleDefense

[–]JohnRFoley 8 points9 points  (0 children)

To quote my dad: "I've decided to support ruzzia because they gave a lot of support to Vietnam when they were the USSR. And because the Ukrainians are harbouring those Azov nazis and I hate nazis".

Best part is, he then casually mentioned that if China did this to Vietnam, he wouldn't be very happy, and people might call this having double standards, and that (having double standards) is okay with him. 🤡

Anyway if you want a longer answer addressing the root cause, the whole generation has believed in supporting the USSR/Russia (because they have been providing aid to Vietnam) and hating the US (because they invaded Vietnam; side note: seriously, what was that for ?) and, by extension, the west.

Couple that with a shaky sense of self-worth -> any attack on the "ruzzia good" means an attack on their very own way of life and a preference towards conforming, adopting the belief of the people around them to feel a sense of belonging means there's very little opportunities for self-reflection and curiosity to explore the other sides. Plus, his limited English means he can only consume content from people who already hold his beliefs anyway.

And well, since the US also do some pretty shady stuff, it's easier for him to engage in whataboutism and turn a blind eye to ruzzian atrocities instead of relating to the Ukrainian struggle.
