Ooof yea, my country (US) can be pretty awful at times. We are 100% hypocrites in this situation, but what is happening in Ukraine is still wrong. Again, hate the government, not the people. I think the US was just recently bombing Somalia a couple days ago again too?.

Listen, I'm rooting for Ukraine, but the amount of propaganda basically makes it impossible to follow the events. There's no "Ghost of Kyiv" and I doubt they took out 56 tanks in one incident. You read social media right now and you'd think Ukraine is about to finish them off. Unfortunately, you have to take it with a grain of salt.

Have to admit the Arma 3 footage has had me laughing my ass off. It doesn’t even look as good as Battlefield 2041 yet people like my parents were eating it up.

The ghost thing is obviously a meme, but the Chechen tank thing has been widely reported on and confirmed by outlets outside of Ukraine. You can argue over the exact numbers, but there is no denying that the Ukranians took it to the so called special forces that were brought in by Putin. Those sacks of murderous shit finally came up against real soldiers and found themselves lacking. Suddenly they didn't want to fight anymore. It's hard to bully and strongarm special forces compared to civilian soldiers. Those bastards got what they deserved.
Argue and haggle over exact numbers if you really wanna be that guy, but Ukraine is doing what no one expected them to. They are surviving and they are fighting against everything that Russia is sending their way.

The Ghost of Kyiv is its own thing but may have technological similarities to the Golem of Prague.

I don't really see that. When I google 56 tanks I get a Forbes article about them destroying 56 tanks of fuel.

That was a Ukrainian tank. The rocket hitting the tower block would have been a mistake. There's no strategic value in doing that and you just wasted a couple of million dollar cruise missile on nothing to help you militarily.
Say what you will about the Russians but they are very strategic. It's why they are the best chess players in the world.

I would bet that is fake. Propaganda is rampant. I don't want to come across as a.Putin apologist because I think he was stupid for doing this and it will result in people dying and suffering, but why would the Russians do this? What benefit do they get? They are a professional army and aren't on a blood-lust against someone they hate. Most Russians and Ukrainian people view each other as cousins. There isn't a level of hate between them like there is for say Serbs and Croatians etc.

The US has enough past sins to atone for, but wanton imperialist warmongering should be condemned no matter who it is. I hope the the anti-war effort in Russia has better luck than the one in the USA.Ooof yea, my country (US) can be pretty awful at times.

It was a Ukrainian tank. All Russian ones have a big white "Z" written on the sides of them.

Because it wasn't widely reported by outlets outside of Ukraine. It's extremely farfetched.
As long as there are people in power in Russia that remember the expansive territory of the Soviet Union they will think, would it not be nice if we had that expansive territory but called it Russia. That is Putins wet dream. I believe that he is the last of this generation that are willing to put the world at risk for this idea. Once a new generation of politicians are in power in Russia, that dream will end.
The world must to keep Putin under control until Putin is out of power, but without him feeling so cornered that he will push the button and start WW3.
I sometimes hear about people that say that if they had a time machine, they would change history by going back in time to kill Adolf Hitler. Well, in this case you don’t need a time machine.

Leave the name calling and emotion out of it.
The Russian tanks have been painted with a big white Z on them.
The tank doesn't have it, and therefore not Russian.
Why it happened, who knows.

I would point out that the “professional” Russians are also sending loyalist Chechen’s to fight for them.
Chechen leader, a Putin ally, says his forces deployed to Ukraine
Kadyrov says Chechen units had so far suffered no losses and Russian forces took large Ukrainian cities including Kyiv.
Aside from that, Russia also has internal problems with stray dogs which result in shooting them.
Now guess what the stray dog problem in Chechnya is like?
Hiring violent militants to break into their house and murder their family is also an odd way to treat people as ‘cousins’.

I know we are all deeply interested in this and looking for new developments constantly, but the amount of true disinformation coming out is staggering. Ironically, most of it seems to be slanted heavily pro Ukranian, which….I get, they need all the morale they can get. But we should take everything with a grain of salt. If it seems far fetched, it probably is.

I’m much more interested in the history of what got to this point, rather than twitter news. I learned a couple things in this video by Jimmy Dore, such as how some treaties were even dissolved under the previous US administration, despite all the talks of it being pro Russia

Some random dude from Ukraine DM'd Tim Dillon's producer Ben on social media and Tim Dillon got him on the show it was really cool. He's a comedian and he said right now he's just trying to get weapons for him and his friends and family and he said right now if you're Ukrainian and you don't have a weapon "you are fucking no one"

Yeah who knows what happened. Might have slipped off the pedal. Could be a new volunteer driving it. At least the old man got out of it ok. You would have thought he was no chance watching the video.

Ukrainians are fighting Russian tanks with Molotov cocktails yet people here are delusional enough to think they have any chance in this conflict.

Ground forces should favour ukraine though as most of Russia's troops are not in Ukraine.
