Ukraine’s plan is to start WW3 at any cost, US is obviously not falling for it. For all their gusto, the warhawks in the US aren’t going to see their cities nuked for fucking Ukraine.

    Seems like some russian soldiers are teasing the ukranian with the DPRK flags near the recently liberated village of Tsukurino in the Pokrovsk direction.

      Those people will believe anything because it makes them feel like they are in a Hollywood movie, and they love it.

      I love seeing NAFOs get mad at NATO for being less unhinged than them.

      It’s so funny, like a little doggie uselessly barking its heart out at its owner. Is that why they use these crumpled up dog avatars?

        NAFOs are hilarious because they just want death and mayhem. Far beyond what’s reasonable for even Nato

      Same, honestly I would even say I tend to hate them more.

      At least with many (not all) of the openly “”“honest”“” fascists, you can see where they’re coming from even if they’re repulsive people, you can see what ideological brainrot and perhaps even traumas have led them down their path. At the core of liberalism on the other hand is a lack of principles altogether, a lack of anything other than infinite selfishness and arrogance.

        My thoughts exactly. Liberals do fascist things then pretens they have the moral high-ground. Hard to argue against someone who doesn’t even want to be realistic about their ideology.

      So their current line is that the explicitly anti-Russian military alliance is checks notes controlled by Russia?

      That’s…wait, yes that makes perfect sense. Quick, disband NATO in order to spite Putin! That will show him!

    North Korea attacked in reverse.

    First the reports were of them being captured. Then we got the reports of them being in Ukraine. Now the reports confirm they will arrive within the next weeks and months.

    If we don’t do something soon, the soldiers are going to learn to walk and start speaking.

      I saw a post on reddit this morning saying that the NK soldiers have already deserted because they were not given food, which I thought was really funny as a way to backpeddle their existence at all.

      “oh fuck oh gee, people are actually looking into this claim, how do we do damage control?!”

        Reddit also regularly claims the DPRK doesn’t feed anyone but the Kims, as if they inherited Stalin’s spoon. The shelves are full of fake food. The people are all in concentration camps the people live in constant fear of imprisoning future generations of their people. Etc. etc. etc.

        So much garbage, so little evidence, just like everything else on Reddit. That’s why literal experts get downvoted into oblivion.

          I’m just spitballing here, but I wonder if some of it is logistics illiteracy, which also plays into keeping people living in the imperial core infantilized in capability to change anything. Cause like, in all the narratives about this country is dictator, that country is dictator, you know what I never hear? How exactly they do it. What the logistics are supposed to be of carrying out these dictatorships and how exactly they function and manage to stay functioning over time, being simultaneously so in control and so terrible to their people. I’m not saying terrible governance isn’t possible (hell, I live in the US…), but I never see these people delving into those things with X country that the empire vilifies. Probably because if they did, they’d find out the process is not at all what they thought. I remember when I first learned some things about the voting process of Cuba; was one of the first times I was ever exposed to actual logistical info on the processes they do and it wasn’t even in that much depth, but was still way more than I’d ever been exposed to with Cuba before.

            Exactly the problem. What is reported and repeated ad nauseum is accepted uncritically.

          the last lib headcannon that I’m up to (though it’s a few years old by now so probably out of date) is that pyongyang is where all regime connoisseurs live and the rest of the country is where the slaves are forced to. then they toil for the aristocracy that lives in pyongyang. You know, the country where everyone is a slave but also 3 million citizens are for some reason part of the nobility or whatever. You definitely need 3 million nobles to run a country of 26 million.

      Haha true. They were captured, then some deserted their positions, some died… yet they are actually a grave threat and DPRK is invading Europe! Right out of the fascist playbook: the enemy is both weak/incompetent and strong/dangerous.

    There are so many things wrong with this. I think the most blatant is the simultaneous idea that Russia is so weak they need to rely on NK soldiers but also Ukraine is easily fighting them off.

    So apparently Ukraine just has the greatest army on earth. What do they need with us then?

    Ukraine’s “plan” is to get the Russians the hell out of their country. It’s no more complicated than that.
