Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

The only experience with war that most westerners have is 30 years of low level conflict against militias in the middle east. They spent 30 years fighting people who barely had anything more than an AK and a dream, which allowed them to become convinced of their own invincibility
Not a single person in the west has ever been confronted with a peer level conflict. They truly cannot even comprehend that their tanks, ships, and planes might be vulnerable. On the rare times they got spanked, like with the Nighthawk shoot down during the Serbian war, they chalk it up to pure luck
Reminds me of an interview with a couple of chuds that went over to Ukkkraine to fight against Russia and they were so terrified they just about shat themselves and then hurried back home. Like wow Russia actually has like artillery and an air force and shit, who would have thought?
Seeing redditchuds malding over being hit with Russian missiles hours after crossing Ukrainian border was absolutely perfect.
