Big news everyone. Ukraine is off the reddit front page for the first time in over a month.
Now I'm seeing more anti-china stuff. Can't tell people have genuinely lost interest, or there's been a policy shift, or simply someone's PR contract expired.
I couldn't help but laugh at this apparent video of a Ukrainian POW trying to claim they're not a Nazi while telling the Russians that captured them that their phone passcode is 1488... :che-laugh:

Just realized the "It is currently 2:30:35 AM in Moscow" bit in the main page's sidebar is actually kind of useful now.
Dozens of Murdered civilians Found in Mariupol after Ukraine retreats (Some hands bound)
Looks like russia did another buca massacre, but this time it was behind Ukrainian lines before the Ukrainians retreated, they're truly scarily effective those russians
Br*tish liberals describing tonight’s air strikes as “Putin throwing his toys out of his pram” after the Moskva sinking really are a unique breed of insufferable.
Even if the increased tempo of sorties is retaliatory, how on Earth is that a childish response to the loss of a flagship of the main fleet involved in the conflict? People seem to have such an utterly bizarre, Hollywood view of war.
:maybe-later-kiddo: Putin literally shitted and farted and had a temper tantrum :liberalism:
reddit said he gay and small pp and he surrendered to ukraine immediately
They're actually celebratory sorties to commemorate the destruction of an aging dock queen that was too expensive to decommission five years ago
Oh man knowing how naval brass hold grudges and become totally wedded to specific doctrines, this is going to a month of "I told you so"s and bickering
Projection maybe? Churchill was like that after the Hood sank.
True. They never got over the Hood did they?
And yeah I was thinking it might have been scuttled, but can't really claim anything beyond a hunch
They are throwing a tantrum, only over shelling inside russia and another helicopter sortie
I'm pretty sure the Russian northern district fleet's the main fleet since it's the fleet with open access to the world's waters and is closest to the core of the russian state. the other fleets being the Baltic Sea, the Black Sea, and the Pacific Ocean fleets, I recall the northern fleet being the largest of the bunch.
Sorry, bad typing on my part - I meant like the most “relevant” fleet involved in the conflict, with its home port down the road in Sevastopol.
Out of curiosity I looked up the Northern Fleet’s flagship - a delightfully outdated “heavy nuclear missile cruiser” formerly known as Yuri Andropov :andropov-wave:
I think a lot of folks have been making the same mistake since a lot of us aren't exactly big beautiful boater kinds of folks :thicc-trump:
Yeah the worlds only remaining Battlecruiser. It's cool but more trouble than it's worth for the one ship.
Liberals have been obsessed over the past few years with describing their political opponents as frothing mad children who throw tantrums at the slightest provocation. They want to believe themselves to be these rebellious cool kids, constantly making mean uncool dictators hop up and down with anger at seeing slick liberal memes. It's how they see Xi Jinping too. Might be influenced from their trauma with Trump getting elected.
Also they care so much for Ukrainians that they refer to them being hit with missiles as "throwing his toys", fucking depraved
What if WW3 is fought entirely through proxy wars and hybrid warfare and it is never officially announced/recognized?
Oh wait that's just a repeat of the cold war.
So this is either leading to WW4 or Cold-war 2.
I've said nothing of value. And yet, I must post.
amid all the "russia evil" articles our state broadcaster has published an article titled "the nice and friendly boy who became a torturer"
and it's about a ww2 nazi
:what-the-hell:
It's been really fun learning which of my self-identified socialist friends would take up arms alongside Nazis if push came to shove. "There's more to fight for" than the government they agree is corrupt and hostile to leftists. So nationalism I guess?
See this is why my favorite type of people in every day life are low-energy cynics. At least you know they won’t get too worked up by the Nazi propaganda.
The second Internationale v2.0 with third internationale characteristics
Libs: I hate Nazis!
Media: What Nazis? Anyway they're fighting the Russians!
Libs: Sieg heil 1488, death to the russian subhumans
China really seems to be stepping up the rhetoric towards the Evil Empire. Mango Press reports:
🇨🇳 #China
Zhao Lijian, Chinese FM spokesman: “The USA must immediately cease all official contact with the island of Taiwan”
(This is what we call an ultimatum 😬)

Maybe this is not directly Ukraine-related but it fits in the general geopolitical "shit hits fan" vibes of this mega.

You've gotta be fucking kidding me. Ukraine is tearing down a statue of Zhukov.

Jesus christ, a white dude with a fucking odal rune tatooed on his forehead? Just... straight up fucking nazi shit, fresh and upvoted on :reddit-logo: .
There's a very, very, very slim possibility that he's just really fucking stupid, since the odal run doesn't have the little wings on it that the Nazi version uses, but I'm like 95% sure this guy's a nazi.
TV channels showing pro ukraine/ anti China shit 24/7. Holy shit how do you combat this
