Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By HIMARS13A: Wait until you find out about USMC snipers and their SS runes. I always viewed the SS runes being used by the USMC Scout Snipers as an act of victory, they subjugated their enemy so thoroughly, an enemy that was supposedly superior in every way including genetics that after defeating them they took the Symbol of the SS as their own "trophy" and made it their own. When the main stream media caught wind of it and made them remove it, to me it seemed like they were taking away their earned war trophy and reputation to some extent.

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By TheResurrector: Oddly enough, the ruble has gained a lot of its value back. It's still down compared to before the invasion but not nearly as bad as it was. Not sure why. Maybe the panic is dying down? That's the exchange rate outside of Russia which is basically irrelevant since no one is buying Rubles. No one sane anyway. What really matters is the exchange rate within Russia when the average Igor wants to buy USD or EUR for his Rubles. There have been screenshots posted a while back that some banks charge 300 Rubles per USD in Russia. That really matters and hits them hard. |

There are more dead Americans with bullets in their chests in our hospitals on any given weekend. Bullshit. According to the extremely biased Brady Foundation 14k people are murdered with firearms each year which is 270 a week and around 38 a day. Considering Ukrainian has a population of around 1/8 the US to make the comparison your tortured logic attempted, that would be about 5 Ukrainians murdered a day proportionally to the US population. The war has been going for about 22 days now, so that would be a little more than 100 Ukrainian civilians dead if we equalize the rate. According to the best available statistics around 730 civilians have been CONFIRMED killed… God knows how many more, along with 1300 soldiers. So that’s North of 2,000 dead Ukrainians and likely more. So yeah, nowhere near as close in real or adjusted numbers. Peddle your bullshit elsewhere. |

You think that hospital sees more gunshot victims than Chicago? Chicago alone is over 2000 on a annual basis. The whole country doesn't have as many gunshot victims as one American city. Maybe more Ukranians have died due to austere conditions instead of in our hospitals where taxpayer money saves gunshot gangbangers at all costs. The numbers still stand. We don't have the funds or ability to help another country when our own is coming apart at the seams from social unrest and economic disaster. |

I'm merely pointing out that she's likely not wrong that some of the arms we sent to Ukraine have made their way into the hands of a unit that has some 'optics' issues, it was inevitable. I'm sure they're a tiny minority amongst the Ukranian defenders as a whole. But again... As much as it pains some of our fellow posters, she is correct.

Holy crap will this stupid Nazi thing never go away? Every sufficiently large group of people has shitbirds in it. All of Europe has soccer fan hooligans and other low-life losers who get a kick out of sporting swastikas and Nazi salutes. It's a pretty widespread subculture across Europe and that includes Russia. By the way, Russia has roughly 4x the population of Ukraine so it is virtually guaranteed that Russia has more Nazis than Ukraine. Worse than that Russia has way more actual Communists. As bad as the goddamned Nazis were, the Communists were/are significantly worse. For one thing they murdered way more people, and another is that they still pose a clear and present danger to the world, unlike Nazis. Should Russia be denazified and/or cleansed from Communists? Should all countries with a handful of demented neo-Nazis be invaded? Because if the answer is yes, then every single European country would be on that list. Probably every country in the world actually.
This stupid Kremlin propaganda fueled hysteria about mythical Nazis in Ukraine is dumb as hell. The Ukrainian nation and their government is NOT filled with Nazis! There is no evidence that they are. In fact there's plenty of evidence that they are not. So, why are we still talking about this garbage? So, stupid... |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Wolverine1776: Which Marine Snipers killed Germans? They were mostly active in the Pacific campaign but there were Marines in Operation Torch in North Africa and Western Europe during WWII. I'm sure a designated marksman or rifleman killed more than a few Germans. 6000 Marines were involved in the European campaign and they actually had sharpshooters on the ships to shoot Nazi mines that were floating on the surface during the Normandy invasion. Not mention the 50 or so OSS Marines who were involved in Europe behind the lines that I believe a number of them completed scout sniper training in 43 when they started officially using the term "Sniper". |

Fighting "Hitlerite bandits" has been a Soviet trope since the 1930s. Nazis were bad, Russians were bad. Russia is the bad guy in this one and a few Ukranians wearing Nazi boogeyman costumes fighting to support a government headed by a Jew don't quite strike me as the rebirth of a German Reich. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By PeepEater: Fighting "Hitlerite bandits" has been a Soviet trope since the 1930s. Nazis were bad, Russians were bad. Russia is the bad guy in this one and a few Ukranians wearing Nazi boogeyman costumes fighting to support a government headed by a Jew don't quite strike me as the rebirth of a German Reich. All correct, but it doesn't change the fact that what MTG pointed out is also correct... As I stated in a previous post IDGAF, for 20 years we've been arming and training afghans that bugger little boys. A nazzzi larper unit is hardly a concern. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By THOT_Vaccine: When you're a would-be occupying force, the psychological war is just as important as the shooting one. He's doing it for exactly the same reasons it was done in WWI and II. Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By THOT_Vaccine: Originally Posted By Durka-Durka: Originally Posted By THOT_Vaccine: Russia is obviously intentionally targeting groups of civilians... How long you figure until they start "rescuing" people with nerve gas, instead of high explosive? But to what aim, though? I'm definitely not trying to support russia here, but what's the motive for intentionally targeting civilians? There's no benefit to it, except psychologically. When you're a would-be occupying force, the psychological war is just as important as the shooting one. He's doing it for exactly the same reasons it was done in WWI and II. I think it may help to understand in context that one of the big contributions of Lenin to the founding ideology of the USSR was "Maximum possible violence at all times and as a first resort"; the idea being that the magnitude of the party's correctness and the importance of the struggle meant that doing anything less was negligent bordering on evil. They've really only been backpedaling on that for about 60 years. That's not really enough time to unfuck a culture that was that far gone. I don't expect a lot of younger guys - or middle aged guys who didn't pay any attention - will really get it.

German and Japan actually did try an wipe them off the planet, not that long ago. Unlike the “genocide” occurring in Ukraine. Uh.. dude.. the Soviets tried to do it to the Ukrainians less than a century ago, in addition to committing mass murder by the millions in virtually all of the places that are now neighboring countries that hate them. That episode you're referring to with the Germans and Japanese - that kicked off on the European end with the Soviets following their ally - the Germans - into Poland and immediately committing crimes against humanity like they were going out of style. Did you get your understanding of history from a cereal box or something? FFS. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By N2CH_556: Is that not a picture of members of the Azov regiment? Are members of that group not neo-Nazis? Is she just unaware that sometimes some unsavory characters have to be armed and managed for the greater good? What is her error or her mistake or her ignorance related to this photo and her tweet? Can someone spell it out for me? She's as dumb as half the people here. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By PeepEater: You think that hospital sees more gunshot victims than Chicago? Chicago alone is over 2000 on a annual basis. The whole country doesn't have as many gunshot victims as one American city. Maybe more Ukranians have died due to austere conditions instead of in our hospitals where taxpayer money saves gunshot gangbangers at all costs. The numbers still stand. We don't have the funds or ability to help another country when our own is coming apart at the seams from social unrest and economic disaster. Newsflash, ignoring the issue in UKR won't help the clusterfuck we are headed towards here. |

Maybe if congress was run by folks with their sleeves rolled up, dirt on their hands, and sweat on their brow, our leadership wouldn't suck as badly as it does.
