dank memes

Rules:

  1. All posts must be memes and follow a general meme setup.

  2. No unedited webcomics.

  3. Someone saying something funny or cringe on twitter/tumblr/reddit/etc. is not a meme. Post that stuff in /c/slop

  4. Va*sh posting is haram and will be removed.

  5. Follow the code of conduct.

  6. Tag OC at the end of your title and we'll probably pin it for a while if we see it.

  8. Tagging OC with the hexbear watermark is praxis.

  9. No anti-natalism memes. See: Eco-fascism Primer

This strikes me as mean spirited and targeted at the wrong people. Like, Zelensky, Putin, than Azov battalion are fair to joke about, but this feels like crossing a line.

I mean yeah, some of these people are going to be idealistic dupes who got swept up in war fervor.

On the other hand, it's not like they ended up there by accident or didn't have time to do some research between buying an international plane ticket and traveling through multiple countries.

They fucked around, and yesterday they found out.

targeted at the wrong people

spec ops idiots thinking this was going to be like that one time they blew up a wedding in Afghanistan

Edit: also all the fascist Redditors hoping to help out their Azov heroes. The only ones in the bunch worth feeling bad for even a bit are the handful of idiots taken for a ride by the propaganda storm, and even then, they signed up for war.

like literally one of the guy on twitter said he enrolled because of a strike of a russian plane on a building, i'm pretty sure that dumbass saw the video that was actually a ukrainian plane accidentally discharging his weapon, it's just wild

Reminder that if it's true that these folks are "veteran spec ops", then it's 99% surety that they are war criminals who did some absolutely heinous CW-worthy deeds in Iraq and Afghanistan.

There's some :chefs-kiss: reddit posts in those threads from these clowns crying about not being on the side with air superiority, technical advantage, a full modern military, etc. and expecting that they were gonna go to Ukraine basically as advisers, patrolmen, run recon missions, etc, not be missile fodder. Like they thought it was gonna be like an American in Afghanistan!

[–] aaaaaaadjsf@hexbear.net 1 points 2 years ago

Yeah now that they're on the other side of a modern military they don't actually want to fight a war.

expecting that they were gonna go to Ukraine basically as advisers

breaker breaker, we're pinned down by russian fire, we need tactical advice from big_chungus_69420!!

[–] aaaaaaadjsf@hexbear.net 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

They probably can't even speak Russian or Ukrainian and can't read Cyrillic, how are they going to advise the Ukrainian military lmao

[–] NaturalsNotInIt@hexbear.net 1 points 2 years ago

First order of business is to teach local troops how to speak a proper language, English. Plus, the dumb Russians won't be able to understand transmissions in English and it's easier to distinguish the enemy.
