Russian invasion of Ukraine

[Doomcookie]

They don't give up because not sucking off the Top Dog has been bred out from the general population with the eugenics program started by Stalin.

I just want to make it clear, Yuppie thinks Stalin was a great man, and should be emulated. He even made a thread about it.

what Russia does to women in a time of war and anarchy is far far worse than what they do to men if you want to distinguish torture. It’s so bad that there’s a reason there’s some reluctance to deploy women to fight instead of handling logistics.

Then, why do you find them so great?

[Canpinter]

Who said they are inferior?

It is a goddamn fact that standing up to oppressors has been bred out from the general Russian population by Stalinists purges.

"I'm not saying your genetically inferior I'm just saying on average your biologically incapable of being as ethical as others".

[Belize]

Looks like we'll be putting that red line to the test already!

My money is on "whinging and finger wagging" being the response, mixed in with retaliatory school and hospital bombing war crimes. Alongside Yuppie losing his fucking mind for another 3 pages.

Stop projecting.

I've never said anyone is genetically inferior. Having any collection of specific traits does not make anyone superior or inferior. Only literal mouth breathing retards think that any human being is superior or inferior to others based on their genetic code.

You literally claimed an entire population has had a positive personality trait removed from their gene pool. It's like saying "the swedish have had the ability to not steal bred out of them, but I totally don't think they are genetically inferior".

I'm not going to discuss this with someone that can't tell how I feel about people who rank people based on their genetic heritage after I've explicitly told them.

Have a good day.

The implication that a certain race / ethnicity is more predisposed towards an objectively negative trait sounds kinda racist to me.

Sucks to be you then.


Infracted.

Stop personal attacks and nation-bashing insinuations and post on topic.

In general it is. That however doesn't mean you cannot say it if there seems to be an obvious expression of something in a population. In the past centuries in russsia most, if not all, people have suffered from oppression, and that seems to have resulted in a people who's nature seems trouble avoidant and Stalin's repressions and purges didn't help with free expression of talent. (If you systematically purge everyone who is decent or good because you are paranoid then that will leave traces in the populace.)

I'm saying "seems to" and "seems" deliberately since that is my general impression of russians, I'm sure there are heroes in russia both sung and unsung but they are, as far as I know, few and far between, that said I obviously only know a small segment of the russian people.

As for @Gabriel,he's a decent fella with whom i enjoy butting heads, he can be a bit fierce but he's not a racist.



edit: @Flarelaine, I posted this when you hadn't posted your comment yet, or at leastI was composing it while you posted that, so I did not see it, mea culpa.

You mean like how North Koreans are all really short from years of malnutrition?

Anyways, probably shouldn't focus on this too much, don't need another repeat of pages of what defines third world or whatever random thing yuppie says.

... wow that escalated quickly.

[Kaleredar]

“Genetically bred to be subservient” is silly, but there’s little to dissuade the notion that the Russian population as a whole has been socially conditioned to basically be a populace largely resigned to putting their head down and suffering the blows and slights from on high, couched in a dismissal of whataboutism and a vague looming fear that any dissension may indeed be met with some form of retribution levied at them.

Which has allowed this backslide they’ve found themselves in for the last few decades. The social conditioning to be the frog in the slowly boiling pot of water, told that that jumping out of the pot will have you stuck with a hot poker and hey, at least frogs in other parts of the world are or have been in hot water too!


Obviously this doesn’t encapsulate the entire Russian populace, but the rather small protestings of their war with Ukraine as it’s gotten nothing but worse is a testament to their overall “well, what can you do? And besides, didn’t America…” attitude that’s been fostered by decades of Russian governmental corruption and abuse.

I'm reminded of a photo of three soldiers side by side, a North Korean, a South Korean and an American, the South Korean and the American are burly fellows of comparable size while the North Korean's head is barely reaching the top of their shoulders and he's scrawny in comparison.

But yeah, and as Kaleredar says, it's probably better to speak of social conditioning over time than anything else. Their post is putting it into better words than mine.

Someone appears to be fucking around with the internet in Russia.

[Edge-]

Someone appears to be fucking around with the internet in Russia.

Russia’s federal censorship agency blamed the disruption on a massive DDoS attack

While I know these are still very much a thing and that happens and is a perfectly reasonable explanation for many things...it also feels like it gets trotted out as a completely bullshit excuse for something else with shocking regularity.

[Corvus]

Yeah, that'd be the Kremlin. They've been cracking down on social media since Kursk. Can't have any news of the disaster getting out to the public.

[YUPPIE]

are the incursions going well? Feels like Putin isn't responding very seriously to it and it's been a while now. He had enough time to visit Chechnya nonchalantly in the midst of this ongoing.

[PhaelixWW]

There are reports that Ukraine attacked Savasleyka airbase a few days ago, destroying 3 aircraft and damaging another 5.

Other reports suggest the incursion forces in Russia are about to cut off about 3000 Russian troops, as they're unable to cross the Seim river due to Ukraine forces destroying all three bridges. Russian attempts to create a pontoon bridge in order to retreat have repeatedly failed, as those pontoons keep getting HIMARS'ed out of existence.

In other news, Russian inflation is rampant, as the cost of basic consumer goods, like groceries, has more than doubled in the last few years.

Unconfirmed reports that Ukraine is attempting a second incursion across the border near Bryansk, closer to the Russia/Belarus border. Russia is claiming that they've successfully stopped it, but we'll see.

[No Kings Voter]

This is a thing that upsets Putin and all his Anti-West incels. That a woman would volunteer to fight for her freedom.

Not just a ork fighting Catgirl, but also a Lawyer and Artillery officer!

Once a successful lawyer, Olha Bihar is now a military commander in Ukraine's Territorial Defense Forces. Bihar – who goes by the call sign Witch – oversees a mortar battery. Anna Kosstutschenko has her story.

Unconfirmed reports that Ukraine is attempting a second incursion across the border near Bryansk, closer to the Russia/Belarus border. Russia is claiming that they've successfully stopped it, but we'll see.

Russia also claimed they halted the Ukrainian counteroffensive into the Kursk Oblast when it first started.

When it comes to Russian propaganda, it's not unreasonable to believe the opposite of what they are saying is the truth.
