Congratulations to the “good guys”, you sacrificed thousands of Ukrainians but now you have funny memes about Kursk, so it was definitely worth it.

The only one killing Ukrainians is Russia pig

Lots of Russians died too, so as far as they’re concerned it’s a win.
- macniel ( @DmMacniel@feddit.org ) 7•1 month ago
they could have surrendered just like the other Russians did.

That’s not really how wars work in the 2020s. There’s no opportunity to surrender when you get droned in a truck miles away from the front lines or hit by a glide-bomb in your barracks hundreds of miles from the front. We saw the same thing in the conflict between Azerbaijan and Armenia.

Okay call it not surrendering then but deserting and then surrender.
- alcoholicorn ( @alcoholicorn@lemmy.ml ) 7•1 month ago
Between deserting and surrendering is sneaking across miles of territory, through the front lines, in hopes that the other side accepts your surrender and puts you in a POW camp instead of droning the guy in an enemy uniform sneaking towards their position.
We’ve seen plenty of videos of both sides droning people trying to surrender.

Yeah, it’s really convenient when you can force other people to fight and die for your war…

Not “lots of”, more Russian soldiers died than Ukrainians, as is typical for this conflict.
- alcoholicorn ( @alcoholicorn@lemmy.ml ) 10•1 month ago
Oh good, more Russian orphans than Ukrainian orphans were created. That makes this all worthwhile.

emphasis on the soldiers part but alright
plus, in war casualties are what matters. I’m only looking at this from a strategic perspective, not a humanitarian one.

Good, maybe that way they grow a spine and overthrow their government instead of rape and kidnapping children in Ukraine

No, it’s the national symbol of Ukraine.
Fascists love to try to co-opt national symbolism, and sometimes they succeed, but ceding ownership of a 1000 year old symbol (it was used as a seal in Kievan Rus) because some assholes adopted it in 1993 is just letting the fascists win.

Reminder that your are a lunatic. Use of tryzub as a national/statehood symbol dates back to about a thousand years ago, roughly to the Viking age.
Moreover, even the link that you quote doesn’t say what you say it says.

The amount of pro RuSSia people here that want to get a free pass in the meat grinder, can someone call Russia to get these highly motivated soldiers to the front line?
- OurToothbrush ( @OurToothbrush@lemmy.ml ) 8•1 month ago
Why would they put an emblem with nazi affiliations, that is Ukraine specific, on their flag?

The one on the left is an Israeli shithead. She was born in the USA. Fuck zionists.

You don’t know about it?
