North Koreans right now
Edit: just noticed the duplicate word. I’m leaving it. Not like the guys on the front line are going to be able to read it anyways.
I had to read it like 4 times to find the duplicate word. My brain just kept skipping it.
You aren’t supposed to be snorting agent orange. I don’t care how many other kids tell you it tastes just like Kool Aid…
They may have had the potential to be a superpower, but it’s apparent that they never had the leadership to conduct as one. Those inside the Kremlin bought into their own bullshit and thought of themselves as a superpower, not realising the machine within is operating on unlubricated, old, broken, and missing parts.
This seems to be a common theme with countries that feed a superiority narrative to their people and other nations.
Oh, they were a superpower as the USSR. Propping up friendly governments, supplying coups, ratfucking around where more blatant impositions wouldn’t be tolerated. It was just built on a house of cards and when it imploded it imploded big.
Like when Ukraine was an SSR?
Ukraine was a powerhouse of the USSR, wasn’t it? I think that’s why they got so much nuke power, they produced so much food

Yes, but they engaged in world politics as a superpower
And that circles back to my original point.
I mean, don’t look at any other superpowers you might know…

begins sweating profusely
Oh, we have the military superpower. We’re constantly putting it on display. We’re basically a giant weapons and war factory. When we go down, it won’t come from the outside (except in the form of cyber attacks and misinformation campaigns).
Though I could see it in a few decades. Russia was a powerful body full of rot. We’re a powerful body with an infection. If the authoritarians win, they’ll replace competent people in key positions with unqualified party-loyal yes men, and that will start the rot.
where antibiotics
They are loaded into magazines.
You’re talking about the USA right? Because nobody mentioned the USA.
It seems to me that people keep begging on Ukraine. How about Russia was all of that and a bag of chips but Ukraine was developed for decades of Soviet rule to be a troop sponge where wave after wave of nato troops die and die and die keeping Russia safe.
Ukraine was made to be a rock on which superior armies dash themselves on until they break apart.
After seeing how NATO advised the Ukrainian counter attack to go I’m certain Russia would be in Poland by now if NATO was on the ground.
NATO losing to Russia in a direct conflict? Truly non credible, my brain worm friend.
On paper it isn’t even close.
NATO is not even willing to let someone else fight and win but magically when the casualties are theirs they’re totally gonna own the Russians?
It’s the same kind of numerical thinking that lead most of the world to think Russia was going to win in the opening weeks of the attack on Kiev . More money and better weapons will equal a quick and decisive win.
Russia has absorbed many hundreds of thousand of casualties. Ukraine has no choice but to fight .
Reasonable chance that NATO has trouble sustaining support for the kind of troop losses needed for a war.
Your mindset is based on the shallowness of an acute modern opinion that disregards history as much as it does immediate reality and humanism.
Or, to put it simply; you have as much growing up to do as you do learning the basics—at least to contribute in this forum.
You’re new to this. Your opinion matters, but isn’t valuable. It seems valuable to you now, but isn’t to others. That’s your first step forward to knowledge.

There is too much to cover here.
As I said earlier, you clearly have minimal alignment of the primary understandings most others have. For starters, it’s clear you don’t even understand the premise of NATO.
This is like me projecting opinions about cars when I think they’re made of wood and drawn by horses.
You’re either a troll or you’re peaking on the Dunning-Kruger graph based on some obscure and narrow-scoped details you may have garnered. It’s so small picture and fundamentally flawed or entirely untrue.
Comrade, we just invite NK troops over for tea time and potato. What is big deal?
NK troops: Potato!!!
I tell people my salary all the time… Can we stop with this bullshit?
Ok, what is it then?
Mine’s £40k. Could be better, could be worse.
In GBP I’m at 33k. Not great.
I too want this information.
Collective bargaining powahh!
But nobody asked.
The North Koreans must feel like the Paradis Eldians felt in AoT when they discovered the outside world was at least 100 years in the future technology and society wise
I don’t think russia is that much more advanced than north korea xD
I meant when they encounter the western weapons but touché
Gotta feed that meat grinder.
THE CUBE DEMANDS MEAT
3 years
Strictly speaking, 2 years, 8 months, and 24 days, or 998 days. We’re just under the 1000 day mark, though.
!remindme 2 days
This sub is getting juicy
I thought with all the sanctions they’d run out of equipment before meat
They just use more meat when adequate equipment lacks. See golfcarts, motorcycle attacks instead of using a bmp or some infantry fighting vehicle for example. No protection means higher losses. Also their tanks are older and older.
The sanctions help with making new hi-tech, and upgrading old stuff, what they do is just refurbishing old tanks and btrs (and building a handfull of each each month) but they’re scraping the bottom of the soviet stockpile as we’re speaking.
Maybe they will run out a month from now, we’ll see.

Whataboutism is for those who do not know how to shit post. We are here to shit post or at least, throw a little shit at each other, tossing questions and comments in a bouncing, cow-filled cyclone of chaos and irony.
The others were too generous. I perma banned you for posting this brainrot.
Wtf did they say lmao
It’s in the modlog if you’re curious
3 days to Kyiv!
