Russian invasion of Ukraine

[Gabriel]

Why would he even face2face with putler after all of this? Is he/was he daft?

Tbf Putin looked like a huge bitch when he caved, so if Prig is indeed dead, he probably thought that Putin wouldn't have the balls to do anything this time either.

A trending look into the Russian concentration camps where they have detained thousands of Ukrainian citizens. (mildly disturbing content)

The world knows this is real and happening now, but just lets it fly.

Fantastic news if true. Next time someone rebels they will see it through because they know any agreement with Putin is not worth shit.

I don't know if it's fantastic news tho...Prigs being dead AFTER the war is properly lost by the RuZZkis, sure. But right now, I think he could do more damage to Russia just by being out and about.

I don't think so. He made so many enemies by not pulling through with his stunt. All those wankers who couldn't go with him to Belarus, and all those units from the Russian military that supported his coup attempt, will probably get sent to Siberia at some point.

By getting killed by Putin he shows to all potential rebels within Russia that you can't make deals with Putin. The next coup attempt will not be stopped half way.

Eh, more officers and people are starting to complain now, the damage is done.

Huh, so did Russia find some more stockpiled WWII-era supplies. The fucking Thompson submachine gun has me fuckin dying.

I mean, they can still kill and all and these appear to be Ukrainian separatists so I wouldn't be surprised if they're giving them the leftover gear and all but just...ooph.

Real though, the nugget with the bayonet at the end has me dying. The year will be 2153 and there will still be nuggets in use in conflicts.

Those aren't tommy guns. They're PPS's

edit: heh, missed the next batch, oh well, my mistake.

They are, there's also a thompson mixed in a bit over halfway through.

Must have, if they're handing out guns to mobiks that first came to Russia through American lend-lease.

But hey, at least being given a Thompson would be a step up from the bolt action Mosin Nagants we've seen the so called "republics" make use of in this war.

And his nation wasn't defending itself against a Russian invasion during this picture.

It was? Unless I got my timeline messed up.

[DarkTZeratul]

Yeah, looks like it was:

In the [2019] clip, Trump leaned toward Zelenskyy and loudly said: "I really hope that you and President Putin can get together and solve your problem."

At the time, Russian-backed troops were involved in smaller-scale military skirmishes in the Donbas region of Ukraine.

"That would be a tremendous achievement," Trump said. "And I know you're trying to do that."

Zelenskyy's eyes widened after the suggestion, and he did not reply to the US leader.

I swear, the Russians could make billions if they just let Western gun collectors to rummage through their deep storage for mint condition small arms.

Shame the NRA didn't make more inroads when they were pushing for a big presence in the country.

Though while the weapons in this video look like they're in pretty good shape, I'm not sure these would quite qualify as "mint".

The thing with these guns, is if you slather them with enough gun grease and stick em in a cold dark and dry place they'll stay as good as new if once every 2-3 decades you grease em again. They are all pre-stamping, milled guns (except the PPS tho the PPSh is milled too). They are probably as close to mint condition as you can get them short of having kept them in a museum vault.

Several issues here:

-the regual greasing
-DRY place

Russia has shown to be idiotic when it comes to properly storing stockpiles.

That's literally what they have been doing ever since the fall of the Soviet Union lmaoooo.

Lord of War shown that nicely. Peeps think Soviet generals and whatnot would just let all of this stuff go to waste and not sell it for personal profit?

Dry place is relative. The thing I was pointing out about milled guns is that they tend to be more tolerant of harsh conditions and irregular maintenance than stamped metal guns especially of the earlier varieties. The chemical treatment and materials used are different. Which is why an AKM might have rusted away while a Mosin or a Thompson might just be fine despite being stored in the same place.

It's one of the reasons why we keep seeing god damn Maxim guns popping up.

Also a lot of these deep storage guns have never been fired while AKMs and such might have been used before being put in storage. A lot a whole lot of Soviet ammo was corrosive, so if they weren't cleaned properly before storing them away that's a problem onto itself.

Tho about the Thompson's that are floating around....I legit wonder just how much 45. ammo can the Russians scrape up for it.

A lot of those guns we've seen in the video have next to no conventional black market value. Some random warlord in the Congo jungle doesn't want Thompsons, SKS and PPS ... there's no ammo for it, no spare parts, no knowhow on how to maintain them.

They want AKs.

That's why Mobiks are now getting all these old guns.

On the other hand in the US/Canada/Europe these are worth their weight in gold because of the existing import restrictions.

Original Soviet built SKS for example are few and far between and collectors have massive boners for them. The ones that float around in the west and aren't original unobtainium are usually Chinese, Romanian, Yugoslav built copies or variants.

WHY ARE YOU JUST LETTING IT FLY?

Because he wants to do it on his own terms, via a World War style draft against his will which in turn would likely include his fantasy of everyone dieing to nOoKz.
