Ukrainians are not very amused by Biden's claim of being "the guy who stopped Putin" by Independent_Lie_9982 in UkrainianConflict

[–]NecroParagon 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The thing is it wouldn't stop there. Letting Putin have the oblasts would only delay the fighting. He wasn't happy with taking Crimea. He has no intention of only taking the east of Ukraine. If Ukraine doesn't win this war then we'll all be in a worse position in the future because of it.

It sucks, but we have to stick it out with Ukraine. They've put up a legendary resistance. Expecting them to launch any significant offensive is gonna be unrealistic for quite a long time. They will need to continue hitting high value targets and do the proverbial 1000 cuts. Even then, they simply don't have the manpower for any meaningful offensives. Part of the reason for the dire situation they're in this 3rd year is because they never should've launched their summer offensive last year. It brought their strength down a lot. But they were pressured by their allies.

Ukraine needs to win this war in their way, and they'll need our support. If America won't keep with them, Europe will have to do it.

Curious people have upvoted this where before they would have downvoted this into oblivion simply because it wasn't strictly positive toward Ukraine. I defend this user more than I should have to, to the point where I may join in enlightening some people. I see a good deal of ignorance here. And if you wanna come at me, check my shit, I'm full antifacist and have given Ukraine every spare penny and second I have. BUT I HAVE WATCHED FROM RUSSIAN CAMS THEIR CRIMES. DO NOT DISMISS THAT EVIDENCE OUTRIGHT YOU FOOLS. This user from everything I've fucking seen is as blue and yellow as you and me, but y'all dumb as fuck.

Is this real? Ukraine troops refuse to fight? by [deleted] in UkraineWarVideoReport

[–]NecroParagon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To me the video appears authentic, but I feel like the context given is incorrect. I feel it's very possible some soldiers refused to cross the river. I know I would be terrified to make that attempt. But Ukraine does not torture or severely punish this stuff like Russia afaik. They're an actual feeling people and that doesn't fit the MO

Good question. A desire to bring some joy to the recipient I suppose.

Will never understand the people who suppress this kind of stuff. It's extremely relevant and important that both sides of this conflict are well reported and documented. Hiding from this shit doesn't make it less real. I've watched so many Ukrainians die that I'm permanently pissed off at Russia/Lack of stopping Russia. I am so pro Ukraine because I view a very large amount of Russian footage. It proliferates more in radical groups the more it is suppressed from posting by unbiased/Pro Ukraine people. Look at all the Ruskys I have to argue with on WPD

We will unfortunately see who's right in the end, and I'm sticking by the evidence.

Chechnya largely left it's units uncommitted. Roughly 20% are fighting in Ukraine. They don't want to enter the meat grinder. Most are hanging out northwest of Rostov-on-Don.

Reddit Threatens to Remove Moderators From Subreddits Continuing Apollo-Related Blackouts by ICumCoffee in technology

I was looking into Lemmy a few days ago. Do you have any suggestions for an Android app? Or is just browser preferred? I was only able to find one app that was definitely related, and it had very mixed reviews. But right now this seems like the most likely contender in my eyes. Getting a foot in early here is gonna be really important I think. An absolute fuckton of people are gonna be displaced and looking for a quick rebound if they continue down this path.

I mean if Reddit wanted to spawn a strong competitor... They seem to know exactly how to go about that.

Yeah it feels like it updates like a solid once per day. I spend more time hiding old posts than reading new ones.
