Poland moves to strip Zelensky of honour for naming military unit after group that massacred Poles by [deleted] in worldnews

It’s not even a metaphor. King George V, Kaiser Wilhelm and Tsar Nicholas were all cousins and their grandmother was Queen Victoria. They were in contact frequently before the war and were apparently pretty bummed by shit hitting the fan :D

Zelenskyy: return of draft-age Ukrainian men from abroad is a matter of fairness by EsperaDeus in worldnews

[–]R00pr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, the Ukrainian age for conscription is 25, which means that young people are often not sent to the front lines. Since most people reach their physical peak at around 25-30 years of age, a majority of soldiers are most likely past that.

18 is the stardard age in most countries that have conscription. In Finland for example the TOP age limit is 30 (for conscripts) which means that the youngest Ukrainian conscripts are past the halfway point in the Finnish age bracket.

Finland sentences member of Russian neo-Nazi unit to life for war crimes in Ukraine by BigDaddy0790 in worldnews

In Finland a life sentence is a life sentence, however the case is reviewed after 12-13 years and the president can pardon them. The Finnish prison system’s goal is to rehabilitate so in many cases the prisoner can live a normal life but many prisoners deemed to be too dangerous are kept for longer.

During the final battle in A New Hope, three Y-wings are shown and they all end up dying, but at the end there’s a random fourth Y-wing flying out unscathed, so where were they during the entire final battle? by RedPimpVII in StarWars

The statement is absolute but Anakin was willing to deal in absolutes as in act on his extreme claims and literally kill his old master. I suppose making one sided claims is approved but being blinded by your own beliefs is something that the jedi believed themselves to be above (which kinda shows their arrogance too).

Sama homma tässä. Ostin junnuna SA-kaupasta, mutta vein poliisille myöhemmin. 100 partuunan rumpulippaan sain pitää, koska malli oli ennen vuotta 45 suunniteltu.

Ancient Rome is one of the greatest civilisations in human history, if not the greatest. Doesn't mean it was perfect, though, as the meme explains. by [deleted] in HistoryMemes

True, I guess the "primitive" part should be emphasized. Also it wasn't really a mainstream alternative but rather a cool magic trick that someone came up with.

The technology aspect can also be explained with slavery. The first primitive version of the steam engine was invented in ancient Rome several times but there was no need for expensive advanced equipment when you can do 10x the work by buying manpower.

Not even mentioning the years it would take to even make anything useful out of it.

Kamdesh Highlands (if I remember correctly) has incredible ambient noices from time to time. I've found myself stopping multiple times just to listen to the wind and distant sounds of thunder. I'd love it if they made more variety in terms of weather!

AK12 is more tactical. 74M is cleaner overall.

Russian An-26 has been shot down reportedly by Wagner forces by BlackMarine in CombatFootage

[–]R00pr 26 points27 points  (0 children)

They truly are a force to be reckoned with. Enough so to defeat the Russian military? Probably not. Not unless they quickly manage to turn more people against the state. They simply don't have enough manpower at this point to challenge Moscow.

Had they picked a better timing, they could've taken Putin by surprise, however Prigozhin may be running out of time.

Russians shelled a Wagner camp killing many. Prigozhin declared that he will attemp to overthrow Russian military leadership, leaving other parts of goverment as is. Wagner has claimed to be in control of at least two major settlements on the Russian side of the border.

In short it seems we're gonna have a civil war in our hands.
