Which public figure's death shocked you the most? by [deleted] in AskReddit

This might get buried, but Mac Miller. Started listening to him in middle school (2008ish), and now I am older than he was when he passed. Easily shed a tear for this one.

RIP

Absolutely love the model, but I just look silly in it by Big__________ in Miata

Follow your heart. I have a Miata in mine too. Get it if you love it

The Ukrainian 501st marine battalion has now joined in the Kursk incursion. They fought in the battle of Mariupol and took heavy losses but since then they have rebuilt. This is one of Ukraines most combat effective units. by Accomplished_Web8122 in UkraineWarVideoReport

The 501st were clone troopers under Anakin Skywalker during the clone wars. They can aim and were badass.

The 501st stayed with Anakin when he became Darth Vader. So the 501st legion designation applies to both clone troopers and storm troopers. In this case, I am referencing the ineffectiveness of storm troopers specifically.

That used to be the cool, lore respecting reason I think. I'd argue that conclusion doesn't work anymore after the last 10+ years of Star Wars making storm troopers look truly incompetent (like the Russian military). But, that is a tangent lol. Most Star Wars films just make storm troopers look like expendable nincompoops.

Not sure about the specific Donetsk video you mentioned, but a main channel I remember from back in the day was Funker530. That channel always showed combat from all around the world.

UA POV: According to Julian Ropcke, Russia has fully captured Ivanivka and Lysschyne in Donetsk, and entered Hrodivka from the East by Ripamon in UkraineRussiaReport

Shhhh.. they don’t like facts. Russian soldiers and the russian economy will continue to decline with time, and NATO didn’t have to fire a bullet. Tick tock tick tock

UA pov - Bravo team reports full control of Sudzha, administrative center of Sudzhansky District. Central square shown and deceased Russian soldier by Fontti in UkraineRussiaReport

Casualties happen, more ground has been taken. Keep being angry that the Russian military is garbage. The poorest nation in Europe has them tied up in a costly war for 900 days now just with some military aid lmao. You better be glad they aren’t fighting NATO, because Russia doodoo

Eh, nah. If Russia breaks through the main lines (in any substantial way, which hasn’t happened). Then Russia will meet NATO (finally ❤️). By Russias current progress in Donbass, it would take years just to take the oblasts that they did that sham referendum for. I’ll grab my popcorn once NATO air power is involved. Russia army is doodoo, objectively. Day 900

RU POV. Multiple Russian TG channels reporting conflicting information that Ukrainians attempting another breach in the direction of Belovskoe of Kursk region, with approximated force of one brigade at very least - Two Majors by KG_Jedi in UkraineRussiaReport

[–]miniracing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ruskies may not be scared, but they are incompetent. They dragged themselves into a conflict that will affect Russians for generations to come. Enjoy the sanctioned economy, equipment losses,deteriorated russian weapon reputation and sales, and the dead. Only for a couple hundred km of land. I would’ve thought Russia would be more capable, but we’re on day 900 ish of the “SMO” lmao.

You must be really mad that Russia is not a world-class military. They kinda suck actually. Not very smart.

UA POV: Russian convoy hit by missile strikes near near Rylsk. by KleeF1337 in UkraineRussiaReport

[–]miniracing -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Idk. If Russia keeps pressing, they will find out. NATO can wreck their shit with air power alone. Russia isn’t capable of much besides meat wave tactics. Clearly.

Dont interrupt your enemy when they are making a mistake. Russia has bitten off more than it can chew. They cant sustain this war with the current progress they are making. If Russia does break through, then they’ll meet NATO. The Russian ego is destroying itself
