But I was told that Ukraine is winning and Russia is in tatters.
Don’t trust your lying memory, Jack
You know, weirdly enough. Back in my idiot libertarian years, I didn’t see the world of :1984: as a representation of “Stalinist Russia” or something. But of neoliberal US and UK… Huh, :1984: was instrumental in me becoming a :red-team:. lol
Despite the crowing about Stalinism, 1984 was absolutely moreso based on the state of the UK at the time. Orwell wrote about how his letters were opened by UK intelligence before getting them, how he felt obligated to write propaganda for the BBC to support the war effort a direct analogue to Winston, democracy was at the time effectively suspended in the UK, and the ‘ministries’ mentioned are direct references to the UK ministries. So you were surely right.
Orwell was a colonial cop, then a BBC propagandist, and anticommunist snitch. He never visited the USSR. Writers are advised “write what you know” because they’ll end up doing so anyway, no matter how hard they try to do otherwise.
This came through on my news feed today with the headline “Is this the turning point? War in Ukraine”
Here’s the turning point:
If you can’t spot it, it’s that tiny blue area in the zaporizhzhia oblast, on the border of the red area.
I’m so tired that I thought that I was looking at a map of Vietnam.
The Ukrainian military is within 150km of reaching Ho Chi Minh City 😳
Would be funny if the Ukrainian military just showed up in the South China Sea like that
Lmao, they should’ve made the reclaimed teritorries red for visibility but nooooooo that’s the evil team color! We can’t use that! The good guys are historically blue and so are we! Lmao.
I’ll forever be a
To be fair, Russian media also uses red for their own side, and has been so since the Soviet times (the Red Army after all) and everyone is already used to the color scheme.
I’ve heard that pre-WW2 everyone else also used red for their side
RED >>>>>>>> BLU
I think the blue on that map is the black sea
Why are you pretending to be Polish if you don’t know what the Red Army is?
Why do you think they don’t know what the Red Army is?
Every Polish person that is not vehemently anti-communist must not be a Polish person! It simply cannot be possible that a Polish person be communist!
Except that I, Patyk34, lemat_87, PolandIsAStateOfMind, Gosplan from Hexbear exist and are quite visible. Like Polish people are quite a visible minority here, especially since I’m pretty loud about where I’m from.
Every Polish person that is not vehemently anti-communist must not be a Polish person!
This is exactly what i read in literally every single private message from an angry polish redditors XD
And not just you! Even I remember getting those my way back in genzedong days lmao
Wypierdalaj tępy chuju, możesz mnie pocałować w dupę xD
Uwielbiam kapitana bombe, przez niego “tępy chuju” jest w moim codziennym języku.
you don’t get it…once they hit that checkpoint, the red map will turn blue, and that basically means a checkmate for ukraine.
They will use the wunderwaffe

It took me like 2 minutes of intense searching to find the turning point
Inifinitely prolong the suffering. Nice job, very humane
What weapons can they be given that are going to fix their manpower issue. Clones? Robots? Weapons don’t do much without people to use them, and trained in how to use them properly.
I suppose a few more teenagers will be old enough to be conscripted by 2025.
Ukraine is pressuring EU countries who accepted Ukrainian refugees to repatriate Ukrainian men of military age for conscription.
They’re scraping the barrel now and I don’t see how they can stave off military collapse even if the EU countries agree.
That’s some sick shit
Also a breach of international refugee law (being a type of refoulement) but of course what’s a violation of international law or two if it’s plucky wholesome Ukraine doing it?
Ukraine is in a tough spot. Normally this situation would hasten your defeat and force you to negotiate a peace (and I’m not sure they’ll get their refugees back to conscript). But the Zelensky regime can’t sign peace, NATO won’t allow it. They have to fight until NATO says stop, and they have no idea when that’ll come. Honestly we’ve been saying “to the last Ukrainian” for a while but it might even go beyond that, if you can imagine it. To the last parcel of Ukrainian land maybe. It’s not in their hands at all.
I can only hope Zelensky and his entire cabinet get what they rightfully deserve at the end of this instead of fucking off to Hawaii where they get to live cozy lives paid by the CIA.
what’s a violation of international law or two if it’s plucky wholesome
UkraineUSA doing it?Ftfy. Don’t lose sight of the puppeteer
Nukes. The answer is nukes.
Moscow by Christmas?
Every last Ukranian will be sacrificed for NATO’s interests.

overpower Moscow once and for all
The wine cave warriors can’t hide their bloodlust forever. They want slaughter and conquest on their screens to clink glasses to.

“Here’s how Ukraine can still win!”
Imagine the struggle session if Obama calls and ratfucks Ukraine.
I think Democrats will only turn on Ukraine if they win the next election. The important thing is to have it technically be the republicans that did it
Yes We Can
The financers of the war must magically improve production tenfold and then maybe, just maybe, Ukraine might have a chance.
Either that or they’ll decree war economy for us who live 2000 kilometres away from Ukraine.
Don’t forget to ramp up soldier production 🤡
Huge chance that the west starts deporting refugees back to Ukraine to fight.
deporting refugees from Syria to fight in Ukraine
this person right here officer, they’re using the lathe without a license!
Unable to comply, building in progress.
That assumes Moscow’s weapons production also remains constant.
And Ukraine also managing to “produce” increasing number of new soldiers.
Don’t give the UkraNazis any ideas. They aren’t big on consent.
s/produce/kidnap
Just start requiring EU citizens to take genealogy tests, and anyone with any ukranian/eastern slavic ancestry needs to report to the front lines . Of course, for freedom and democracy, so it is totally fine, don’t worry.
I support this on the basis that a large proportion of NAFO dogs, Poles, and Balts will be forced to put their lives where their mouths are.
You mean it doesn’t decrease?
You mean that Russia had not expended all their resource on the protection of ethnic minority from Kyiv Euromaiden government genocide and that Putin had not ordered to destroyed Ukraine with needless war? Did the Euromaiden/NATO side contradict themselves again?
no it assumes far more than that
only war will bring peace , clown world.
Wonder who builds the weapons and how they’re related to the financial times
by 2025 NATO will not exist, lol
Don’t give me hope
by that time Europe will be in dire recession and full of Nazi marches …XD
So optimal conditions for NATO to exist in?
Nazis are not libs, they will then fight with each other and squabble into petty wars and what not.
I wouldn’t be so sure of that.
Nazis are libs at their most honest. There are already open Nazis in Baltics - and the Baltics are in NATO. Several of the high ranking NATO founders were Nazis. Post-war west Germany (ya know, under allies) high court? Staffed with more Nazis than while Nazis were in power!
