I have a friend that works as a journalist. He's not even israeli, just went to a good school, now he makes okay money doing something he loves.
It's good that he gets to practice Journalism the way he likes. Too many are driven into monopolies like Sinclair and have to publish sheet after sheet of Yellow Journalism. That's one reason my mother quit despite liking her work. Some shithead inherited the company and decided to start changing everything from a stable paper that covered useful information to some gibberish zoomer crap.
does he work saturdays?
Oh, it's good to hear that he quit journalism.
that's a FAMAS
You made good, kid.
>you will never kill a russian in a war and get a rifle as a reward from your commanding general
why live?
The most interesting thing is that the guy complained in a recent interview that he wanted to change his AK to AR. His plan basically was to buy a civil AR-15(for personal purposes), upgrade it, and use it on the frontline. But he couldn't do that because due to moronic Ukrainian law you can buy a rifle only when you are 25 years old and the guy is 21 years old. Then Zaluzhny just gave him a premium weapon as a reward.
>a premium weapon
looks like a stock M4, kek. At least they could have given him something more gucci.
>looks like a stock M4, kek
An AR from a decent manufacturer will set you back anywhere between 2 and 4 paychecks in eastern Europe, if you're an average wagie.
But yeah they could have given him an ACOG and ATPIAL with it like they give their SF guys (maybe they will).
Still fricking great that the Presidential Brigade get their hands dirty at the front, although I haven't heard from them recently and they might have got rotated. In fact they probably western-equipped.
My brother in Christ if the big-chief CO wants to give me a rack grade M4 instead of me spending gucci money on a DD or a Ukrainian AR, then spend the coin to get it in a place I'd feel comfortable going to war with, I'm taking the M4 from General Pillsbury Eisenhower with a shit eating grin glued on my face for at least a decade.

why do people prefer ARs over AKs? i'm not trolling and it's not a rhetorical question, both seem to shoot boolit just fine
AR is lighter, has less recoil, is more accurate and handles mud better.
I love the AK but the AR is better in every way except maybe how long you can go between cleans.
>handles mud better
By thattoken mosin is the best thing ever. As the bolt is forever stuck, no mud can't get in.
It's almost like he listed more than just mud. But also Mud is huge in trenches.
>AR has less recoil
5.45 kicks less in my experience
AR is better for tuning
AR has more manageable recoil, lighter ammo, and tends to be more accurate. They're also more ergonomic and have FAR more available parts and customization. ARs can also come in a FAR wider variety of calibers including 5.45x39 and 7.63x39. There's even a .50bmg upper out there. It's basically a gun shaped lego set.
Also, on a related note, here's a literal lego AR-15.
The 74 recoils only slightly worse than an M4 and that's just because of the heavier recoiling mass.
5.45 ammo is actually lighter than 5.56 on account of the smaller, steel case, and lighter projectile.
(It's usually negated by the mags being rather heavy, though, they have steel inserts.)
AKs are not "in-line" when it comes to recoil. That's the issue, not the ammo or the mass. In the AR the gun's recoil force goes straight back. AK the piston and position of the stock gives it more muzzle raise. The bolt carrier and piston being above the stock's typical mounting point rather than sending that straight back to the shoulder basically forces it to pivot more with recoil. You can counter that quite a bit with a good enough muzzle brake though. I have a ridiculous one on my AK and it's much closer to my AR in that regard now, still wants to flip up a bit.
The bigger problem with AKs is not the off-line recoil but the fact that the gun is designed so the bolt carrier slams at the rear of the receiver at full speed, creating a sharp kick that is harder to compensate, less comfortable and throws your aim off. Even if you use a weak round like the 5.45x39 and put on a muzzle brake so the total recoil is a lot less than that of an AR it'd still be more distracting because of this.
That is very specifically why I need to get my bolt carrier repaired. Bastard mushroomed from all the impacts over the years.
>much better ergonomics (safety, BHO, mag release, bolt release)
>ready for optics out of the box
>enclosed system = you can crawl through shit and it will still go bang, the AK has a bunch of holes that let stuff in
In his case it's probably these (plus the ease of customization), things like generally better accuracy (not really an issue for a boot shooting gifted M855 that won't do better than ~3 MOA) or the M4 being like 300 grams lighter probably don't really matter to him all that much.
I mean 300 grams is pretty significant weight savings when it’s something you have to carry on your person all day
300g ain't much but it adds up.
What he'll appreciate more is the weight savings of not having to *add* things to the rifle to be able to mount optics and other stuff.
If you look at his AK he's got a custom dust cover and handguard that are both machined aluminum, plus a beefy QD sling adapter, that shit gets heavy fast.
The M4 is conveniently fricking covered by 1913 rails already so he can go to town without adding a thing.
The (Ukrainian) optics manufacturer gave him this, you absolute cretin.
>ak dust cover with picatinny rail
Ahhhhhhh that alone should be reason enough for him wanting to switch platforms.
It's just not good gun
in his case, he probably got pissed at his pistol grip breaking during combat, forcing him to switch rifles
That isn't a problem with the AK per se, but he probably dedicated the time and effort to get his AK set up with better ergonomics with what he could scrunge up, and the cheap Tapco tier furniture is what he could get.
Ironically, the Ukrainians who had FALs said it was much better at handling the mud than the AK. So there's probably a strong feeling that ARs are an upgrade, even though you could get a fricked up AR if you waste money on low tier brands and airsoft grade furniture.
Anywhere I can read about Ukrainian's experience with the FN FAL?
The noguns outs himself
Not everyone prefers the gAyR over the AK. I live in the US and own 3 AK’s and no AR’s. I’ve seen more than a few AR’s have problems at the range (even “high end” brands). I know the AR fanboys will seethe in the replies but it’s the truth. 10+ years of AK ownership and the only problem I’ve ever had was one of my rifles didn’t like 8m3 7.62x39 hollow points and failed to feed every 5 to 10 rounds
>didn’t like 8m3 7.62x39 hollow points
isnt that the magazines fault?
>gun range
Only place where people seem to prefer AK over AR. The moment someone goes on actual battlefield they learn AK is not intended for it
>Some dirty ukies prefer the AR over AK while fighting some moronic Russians
OMG IS OVER FOR AK, AR IS OBVIOUSLY BEYYER BECAUSE SOME KID BROKE HIS CHINESIUM PISTOL GRIP OFF HIS AK AND WANTED TO TRY AN AR INSTEAD!!!
Quit whining about another man’s choice of weapon. Doesn’t matter if you got the gucciest of AR’s or the most reliable AK.
You’re all still gonna get laughed at since squad and fireteam tactics are foreign to you.
>Quit whining about another man’s choice of weapon.
You're the one getting weirdly emotional over it, though.
>you’re so emotional anon get a grip
2023 and still can’t even shit post properly
>Not everyone prefers the gAyR over the AK
>I live in the US own 3 AK’s and no AR’s
Extremely unbiased and not emotional at all take lmao.
You like AKs because they're the cooler thing to own in the US since everyone and their dog has an AR.
I've owned 4 AKs and 5 ARs over the years (currently at 2+3) and the only thing that semi-consistently gave me shit was a factory mint Izhevsk AKM.
>But he couldn't do that because due to moronic Ukrainian law you can buy a rifle only when you are 25 years old and the guy is 21 years old.
i'm pretty sure you also have to own a shotgun for a year as well
Frick the AR, give this kid a SAW.
He said in an interview, that his AK broke during that battle and he wants to replace it with an AR-15, or something else 5.56
But the law forbids him to buy one until he's 25
>being invaded
>still have to abide local gun laws
wack
Makes a lot of sense actually. Why make it extra easy for partisans and saboteurs?
He only has to abide by them, because he wants his own gun to bring to the army.
AKgays are eternally btfo by this war. Every fighter who uses it shits on it when compared to western weapons. I am so happy that the memes about shit that belongs in museum being better than modern weapons because they are "le rugged and soul" is finally being broken.
If someone is a soldier of a nation being invaded by an authoritarian state bent on wiping out their culture, identity, and replacing it with ass rape and communism it only makes sense that the soldier should have exemptions for gun laws so he can more adequately defend his nation. It's a shame that he has to purchase his own equipment but the option should be there, especially since standard issue isn't the best. It's more of problem during this war since the Ukrainians have a very diverse mix of equipment with mix of NATO and Eastern Bloc weapons both of varying age and quality. There's gonna be some poor sod that gets a 70+ year old AKM and he ought to be able to arm himself properly even if he has to pay out of pocket.
We must strive for a future where every Ukrainian soldier does not have to use slavshit and applying the same logic of domestic policy to wartime will actively hinder that.
>If someone is a soldier of a nation being invaded by an authoritarian state bent on wiping out their culture, identity, and replacing it with ass rape and communism
Take your meds schizo
Do they even have a culture other than sucking American dick?
>basic description of standard russian behavior for a century
>REEEEEE SCHIZO
>the soldier should have exemptions for gun laws so he can more adequately defend his nation
Sure
I just think nobody thought this would be a case worth writing legislation for before this war (after all why would a soldier have to buy their own gun?) and now they probably have more important things to do then changing these laws. Just a guess.
>Why make it extra easy for partisans and saboteurs?
You actually make it harder since the local population will also be armed and can just fricking kill moronic commie partisans as soon as they appear
Did you seriously think Ukraine was magically not gonna be some turd world corrupt shithole just because Russia invaded?
>upholding laws
>corrupt
pick one, shitskin.
Ukraine is corrupt, it’s gotten better in the last decade, but it’s still corrupt
Obviously it pales compared to Russia, but saying it isn’t corrupt is just pure false
Any commie infested shithole will be like this, even after it's gone
True but I think we'll see major anti-corruption efforts once this war is over. They want into NATO and the EU with both requiring anti-corruption controls.
Culture takes a long time to change, you need everyone that is use to corruption to die out and all their kids to be raised in a country where corruption is found and punished.
Shills and morons think Ukraine is pro-gun just because they are forming militias as a last resort
You have to abide by gun laws to own gun. Doesn't mean you can't get assault rifle and thermobaric grenades, you just won't be able to keep them after war is over
>Won't get to keep them after the war
Yeah he will. He'll be 25 by the time the war is over and will get to keep his new rifle
theres also plenty of corruption, my friend is over there doing training and he says he has to bribe people all the time
My uncle works at nintendo btw.
At least we don't need loicense for cans
I would just bribe some fricker in that slavic shithole and get an LMG.
Damn boy got a fricking quest reward
Looks like a kid, fricking hell
He looks like he's in his 20s, what do you mean?
>20s
>Not a kid
You must be older than 18 to post here
Two of my different forebears fought for the Continental Army when they were 16 and 18 respectively, and my great grandfather was 18 entering into WWII. Just because dopamine-addled tiktok zoomers aren't adults to you doesn't mean 20-somethings aren't adults elsewhere.
The human brain is fully developed ~26 years old independent of sex, ethnicity, or geographic location. No one is neurologically an adult until then, but we have several facets of our civilization that rely upon the idea that children are "adults." So we're never going to move away from 16-18 year old children being given the autonomy and responsibility their brains literally aren't capable of responsibly taking possession of.
Your forebearers aren't the first child-soldiers in history, and they will not be the last.
>y-you aren't a heckin' adult until 26 years old!!
Shut the frick up. Stop infantilizing grown men. This is part of the reason why we have such a manchild epidemic.
>Stop infantilizing grown men. This is part of the reason why we have such a manchild epidemic.
You're almost there, anon. "Grown men" historically literally were not.
They were, however, thrust into a far, far more sink-or-swim environment than people of the same ages are today. The manly 18-24 year old men of yore weren't men, neurologically, but the circumstances they had to survive and thrive in did a good job (generally, broadly speaking) "forcing" them to adapt to circumstances.
In the absence of those circumstances, you're left with people who's brains aren't adult, the circumstances they find themselves in as "adults" in the modern Western world definitely do not necessarily *require* manning-up/growing-up like they used to, and a society that still pretends they ought to just be like people were before.
tl;dr, it's not biological science infantiilizing grown men, it's a soft, epicurean society making already necessarily-immature people far less likely to be made to grow up. There's a reason the phrase "prolonged adolescence" is a thing in our society, anon.
>uhmmm they weren't men. Le neurologically speaking of course
Shut the frick up reddit.
>Shut the frick up reddit.
A sufferer of prolonged adolescence typed this post.
A 17 year old is a child. You can legally claim a 17 year old as a dependent. No male over the age of 25 believes otherwise unless they're gay, statistically.
>If not, take away the rights of people under 26.
I'm unironically in favor of this, but like I said earlier it won't happen because so very much of our society is built on the premise that certain-aged children must be deemed adults for the sake of many things, some of them important while some others are pretty petty.
Since you're a redditor who loves pop-science, here is a Slate article for morons like you.
https://slate.com/technology/2022/11/brain-development-25-year-old-mature-myth.html
>According to a 2016 Neuron paper by Harvard psychologist Leah Somerville, the structure of these and other brain areas changes at different rates throughout our life span, growing and shrinking; in fact, structural changes in the brain continue far past people’s 20s. “One especially large study showed that for several brain regions, structural growth curves had not plateaued even by the age of 30, the oldest age in their sample,” she wrote. “Other work focused on structural brain measures through adulthood show progressive volumetric changes from ages 15–90 that never ‘level off’ and instead changed constantly throughout the adult phase of life.”
Anyone below 90 years old is a heckin' child! I know this because reddit told me so!
If you can't see the differences in behaviour and attitude between a 20 and a 30 years old, you need more time on the oven.
If you can't see the differences in behaviour and attitude between a 30 and a 40 years old, you need more time on the oven.
Why are you unironically linking Slate on /k/?
The article you link summarizing that study also doesn't say what you want it to says.
>structural changes in the brain continue far past people’s 20s.
There's nothing about the brain reaching maturity that says neuroplasticity stops being real. Are you arguing there's no notable difference between a 17 year old and a 30 year old?
Peterson is fine when he's speaking narrowly on his field. He comes across as a moron when he tries to extrapolate his expertise to anything out of his field, one of the reasons being he has no idea how normal people talk. Dude's clearly on the spectrum though, so whatever.
I disagree with none of your points, it's why I don't think it'd ever be feasible to restructure our society (which is derived from times and eras when there just wasn't that much time, as you said). Maybe in some far off away future where we have magically have life expectancies easily exceeding a century. Until then, it's just shitposting.
Are you arguing there's no notable difference between a 30 year old and a 65 year old?
Of course there is. The human brain doesn't stop changing until death. Are you saying the differences between a 15 and 30 year old are the exact same as the differences between a 30 and 65 year old?
17 is a grown ass man. Just because you don't know how to tie your own shoes at 25 doesn't mean everyone is an underdeveloped moron.
Just because you're legally able to reproduce and die in a war doesn't mean you're a fricking actual adult.
Most people do not stop being metally teenagers until after 25, women even later, and many never until they die.
>Just because you're legally able to reproduce and die in a war doesn't mean you're a fricking actual adult
Yes, you are. If not, take away the rights of people under 26.
All of that shit just to say
>Trust the science, Chud!!!
But not as joke... holy frick actually have a nice day.
>Hurr every human behaves exactly the way I think they do!!!

Perhaps have you considered, encouraging young men to act like adults instead of being a pedantic redditor?
>No, you're not actually an adult because um the science and my sociology degree actually has indicated that blahblah... look they're not raised the way *I* want everyone to be raised, okay!!?!?
You're not even 25, right?
Anon... I hate to break it to you, but I'm twenty nine.
>You truly are here forever, by the way
>Trust the science
Science isn't a matter of "trust" or not trust. Anyone imploring you to ever "just trust me bro" is someone deserving neither your trust nor faith. Science is observable, and more importantly, repeatable. Meaning you could go and do the legwork to reproduce the same results.
>Hurr every human behaves exactly the way I think they do
No, humans behave the way humans do. Pretty well established literature on human nature across the evolutionary psychology, anthropology, and biology fields (the fields that generally still acknowledge that there are only two sexes). And it's not mystical indecipherable nonsense, either. It's scientific study of things you can and probably have seen around you or done yourself.
>There's no room for an aspiring young man to perhaps want to do the best he can as he's learning his agency!
Why wouldn't there be? Acknowledging that your child is one doesn't mean you don't foster them and do your part as a man to raise strong children.
>have you considered encouraging young men to act like adults
Yes, see above.
>they're not raised the way *I* want everyone to be raised
If you stopped trying to read what you want to read out of what I'm saying, you'll see that you'd want them raised differently than we do now, too. Because
>encouraging young men to act like adults
and having
>aspiring young men perhaps want to do the best he can
isn't what we have now.
>did a good job (generally, broadly speaking)
I read it in his voice.
Just because they're not at their peak neurologically, doesn't mean they don't already meet the standards for being responsible for themselves and their decisions.
The productive time of a person is also limited from a societal perspective. If you wait until everyone is 26 then you're cutting on average 6 years of productive time from everyone. That's billions of dollars both in lost revenue and added costs since they'll spend a longer time as a burden vs a contributor to society.
From a military perspective there's also a ton of positive qualities that a younger person has. Being more moldable to fit better into the military stucture and culture, being more energetic, being able to better cope with lack of sleep and nutrition and being much more resilient. Not to mention the same thing for the military part too. Get an 18 year old recruit, train him for 3 years and have him get practical experience in the field for another 4 and boom. You now have a fully neurologically developed 25ish year old who is an expert in his field and can most optimally contribute.
Tl:dr society can't afford to wait that long and never was. Hell modern standards are already pretty luxurious, since even in roman times you were an adult when you entered puberty.
>society can't afford to wait that long
That's the only reasonable argument, but note also how historically actual positions of power have been limited by law to 30+, including the POTUS needing to be at least 35.
It's obviously a case by case thing, but you don't learn some things until you've experienced them during your late 20s (and many people never learn)
The only new things you're going to experience in your late 20's is your first bad joints you stunted adult baby.
There is no point in human history even back 200k years that people weren't considered adult long before 26 much less 18
>a Man is defined as a human being that is fully neurologically developed
said no one ever
Who the frick told you your brain development was what made someone an adult. In every species but humans it's ecual maturity/end of puberty. Purberyy ends around 18, that's why we chose 18. Many cultures did sexual maturity around 12-13. Being "smart" or having a fully developed brain was never it. You are arguing against a fact you made up.
18 and above is legally an adult. Sure the brain is still developing but that's the line where we've generally agreed that people are competent enough to decide about their own life, including risking it.
Imo calling anyone above 14 a kid is misleading as they're clearly teens and as such have different expectations placed upon them then say vs a 8 year old.

>They should be giving the guys at the front the gucci gear as a matter of course.
Let's be real here, they received a bunch of stuff but still not nearly enough to equip every mobilized dude with a western rifle, optics, NODs, IR lasers and a full set of body armor.
Most militaries in the world would struggle with that and that's WITHOUT mobilization.
We were just spoiled by watching GWOT growing up where every POG and his dog had these things as a matter of course, but countries other than America just straight up can't do that.
>We were just spoiled by watching GWOT
In the early years of the GWOT even the US didn't have armor or optics for everyone and guys were sent to the desert with woodlands camo.
It was only after the GWOT was used to increase the military budget a few times that US was able to give everyone good shit.
Even murica cant, dont guards and chair force still use some A1s?

It was only in '21 that they came up with combat awards for wartime.
I hope he got "Hero of Ukraine".
Tbh he didn't do anything extraordinary. He worked in communication with the mortar team, with UAV recon and infantry in the other trenches. He did really good but it's not a hero performance
>2 guys in a trench
>kill a section
>then a BMP
>then all the dismounts from that BMP
>one guy is hiding in the ammo cave the whole time
IMO that is highest award tier.
He did fight back attack of Russian spetznaz and took down their BMP. While it's not the most extraordinary thing soldier has done this war its not something simple either
>One man wrecking crew who held back a BMP and dismount assault from Russian SOF with only a single ammo goblin to assist.
Not impressive. Dude that shit is easily the most impressive piece of complete combat footage online
>Hero of Ukraine
He's a tough guy but I don't think they're gonna give him something that big. Maybe he'll receive the Order of Bohdan Khmelnytsky.
I dunno if it's quite "Hero of Ukraine". The "presentational fire-arm" is apparently an award-type too.
He got all the information from the UAV team, and the mortar team was also striking Russians during the fight. Additionally, people from another trench were shooting at Russians. I mean, the result couldn't have been achieved without cooperation.
Doesn't matter what he did or not. He produced very good video material and get's praised as a hero on the internet. People love their heroes and therefore it's excellent for morale to publicly reward im.
The video speaks for itself my guy you literally can't argue semantics with that footage like you're trying to... shure he might have been working together with a wider element but that the end of the day he was 100% the only person in the a.o. who could do what he did and it got filmed for the world over to see. Stop putting down some one who achieved somthing you can only dream of.
I garuntee that day was a loving hell for him.
Yeah, they would give out sidearms during soviet times, and APS pistols as awards to fighters in the Donbass starting in 2014
He looks like the one gay friend me and my brother had who was the only other one who stood with us when we got jumped. We ended up beating the frick out of the 9-10 fricks who jumped us, should’ve beaten the shit out of the kids who ran on us too.

Ukraine had better gun laws than Russia even before the war (not like that's a high bar to cross lol), and they have been loosened since then.
Guess an existential war makes you reevaluate the pros and cons of having citizens who are *aready* armed.

literally this is some Call of Duty shit
What did Valery get? Where is Valery? I am concerned about Valery.
Valery got 25 crates of 5.56, he's fine.
>Predator
Is he Ukrainian Givi?
How comes Ukrainians don't have any war legends on the level of Givi and Motorola?
>Is he Ukrainian Givi?
No, he's actually competent soldier who fight on frontline. Not some media queen who hangs out with moronic moron who shoots at his own soldiers for fun and then gets killed by FSB
Givi was killed by Ukie SOF guys.
It's possible, but unlikely.
FSB is probable, and highly likely.
And Motorola with Zaharchenko got killed by FSB. Sucks to be Donbabwean "hero"
Yes, """killed by Ukie SF""" like every other separatist leader who got ideas above his station or outlived his usefulness kek.
In one recently intercepted phone call, some high ranking Lugandan who was still alive after all these years said that if not for Puccia sending little green men there would have been no "revolution" because nobody gave a shit and liked their lives just as they were lol.
Strelkov literally said the same thing.
That was obvious to anyone who was paying attention and didn't have an agenda.
>Russian puppet government overthrown
>suddenly guys with latest Russian gear show up on Crimea and take over
>immediately afterwards armed militias "spontaneously" crop up in the Donbass and start capturing key government buildings
>Russia denies all involvement
The fact that there are people who still think this was about ethnic Russians rising up against oppression from muh evil Kiev junta is insane.
>is insane.
No, it's the result of decades long propaganda in the west and latin america. There were "documentaries" and shilling about it since the start, talking about muh nazis.

That's the great thing about not living in Russia or China.
You can think and say anything you want.
And that is unironically the main reason ukros are fighting like the devil.

>You can think and say anything you want.
You really can't anon, you'll notice that once you start working in this globohomosexual wonderland.
Denied until later
Still denied while they handed out medals to the troops involved.
Sound familiar?
Oh frick, didn't know that
Reminder that the RU military hands out medals as part of quotas and pre-planned lists. They plan to give medals before the events the medals are given for happen to fill spreedsheets at the Ministry of Defense. Hence stuff like that happening.
People always say he started to dissent from moscow but what did Givi actually do?
Was it another warlord he pissed off?
Did he piss off Strelkov?
Most likely started expressing his dislike of how Moscow was just funneling enough shit to them to keep the conflict going.
Many of the DPR/LPR commanders eventually realized that Moscow (at the time) had no intention of actually making a push for it and then either recognizing the republics or folding them into Russia.
It was all just a diversion from Crimea (which was strategically important): with everyone's attention on Donbass, people just started seeing the annexation of Crimea as fait accompli, basically "yeah it's illegal but it's not like we can do anything about it".
Most of the separatist guys who became cranky about this had an accident just like Givi. The rest calmed down. The conflict was becoming less and less intense over the years.
Of course, then Monke had a change of heart and became convinced that Making Russia Great Again is his manifest destiny.
Strelkov had to frick off himself.
DNR is basically mafia, maybe Givi and Nokia found thrmselves rooting for the wrong gang, or werent happy about slow takeover of ORDLO army by russian contract soldiers on vacations.
We will never know
You have to remember that Givi and his buddies weren’t the smartest guys and were just some useful idiots from the region. They were hooligans who had rallied a couple other hooligans together and got lucky when they were given a ton of shit by Russia and got absorbed into the command structure of the Russian military. At some point these warlords, with their personalities and perceived independence (if they were alive today they’d basically be b***hing and starting shit online like that egg head from Wagner), were just considered to much of a risk to keep around. Strelkov is probably only alive since he was a Russian asset from beginning to end, same for the remainder of the surviving LPR/DPR stooges.
Strelkov is more than just an asset he was a high ranking FSB officer.
>He doesn't know
Those DPR/LPR warlords that unironically wanted to develop an real independent country instead of joing Russia were all assassinated by the FSB.
If they were assassinated by the FSB it was because they knew too much, not because they were glorious rulers trying to create economic powerhouses to rival troonysistria.
Their deaths follow the same pattern of russian generals dying after armed conflicts.
The Kremlim just doesn't want charismatic military leaders (whatever their real effectivenes is)
to be fair that infographic is largely horseshit dumping all of the obituaries into one category
some are real chronic illnesses (makes no sense to kill Grachev in 2012 when he was old and long irrelevant), some suicides like Shebarshin (who was really old and basically wanted to end his suffering because he went blind) and some actually shady ones likely to be assassinations (Rokhlin, Lebed)
>develop an real country
Only magatard could come up with something moronic like that.
Those subhumans simply robbed civilians. One is cornershop guard and the other is car washer.
Develop fiefdom where they control drug trade with iron but fair fist*
>muhgatards
Your kind tried to develop USSR only for it to collapse into its own butthole.
Makes sense considering their totally organic uprising was possible purely thanks to FSB involvement
If it wasn't for Strelkov and co everything would have ended after a few weeks of street violence
But that never happened. They were all Russian stooges from the start. Donbabwe and Luganda are fake identities. Those morons got themselves killed because they thought they were in a position to ask for promotions to managerial roles within the Russian system when their actual usefulness ran out. Moscow correctly considered them disposable hired thugs and they got disposed of once their b***hing for paychecks they didn't deserve got too tiresome.
DPR/LPR was Girkin's idea and he invented it only as a quick and dirty stratagem to attach a new oblast to Russia. Nothing organic about it, it was never meant to endure. There was supposed to be a lightning fast hybrid operation establishing local people's republics from Odesa to Kharkiv, then a quick referendum with 105% of the "novorossya" population voting to join Russia Kherson style. That plan didn't work out so well and Russia got stuck with an unresolved landgrab for 8 years.
Girkin is the only "novorossya" veteran remaining alive because he's not a complete moron. He had no illusions, knew his place exactly and he complied fully when the Kremlin suggested he should go back to Russia and lay low for a couple of years instead of trying to usurp roles he was never meant to perform.
You wrote "russian GRU" wrong.
Amazing how the Ukrainian SOF stopped assassinating DLPR militia leaders just as soon as their Moscow-approved successors took over.
Givi and Motorola had great PR getting their names out there but what did they personally do in combat?
This kid killed a section and a BMP on his own.
Cringe. Had he been alive today he would've been the ultimate tiktok warrior, but alas the FSB... Whatever happened there. Also name one single russian hero. You can't because Putin is actively not making anyone out as heroes because they'll be a threat to him, just like Stalin did soviet war heroes.
What did Givi actually do to become a "legend" other than bully some POWs and get vaporized with a thermobaric rocket by his own FSB handlers?
>OMG ARE THOSE BASED AND REDPILLED HEROES KIWI AND NOKIA? UOOOOOOOOH
That Predator guy will never have Givi charisma simply because he's not good looking and gives out really strong incel vibes.
They should also use professional photographers if they want to build that kid into a meme.
>Givi charisma
He looks like eastern Euro gypsy.
The fact that a guy who looks like a gypsie, with a stutter, is seen as charismatic by Russians speaks volumes about the absolute state of that country.
He’s the Rittenhouse of Ukraine. You may not like it, infact you may seethe about it on plebbit, but that’s what peak performance looks like
>dropleg crossdraw
He deserved the RPO Shmel for that alone.
Nice drop leg cross draw larping homosexual. I'm glad this drama queen got fsb'd. Worse than a chechen and this is who Russia made their poster boy until they killed him lmao.
>he's not good looking and gives out really strong incel vibes
Guy looks pretty normal what are you talking about?
He kept his cool extremely well in a situation where most people would shit themselves.
>Givi charisma
Givi looked like a fricking multiple convict gypo, I would probably check if my wallet pocket is zipped up if I met him on the street. Only fat white women in their 40s find that kind of guy charismatic.
>we have George Clooney at home
>Guy looks pretty norma
For an indian.
just shut the frick up
>Plebbit spacing tourist
Getting very tired of you insufferable homosexuals

Shocking stuff, I hope they can prove these outlandish claims.
Yes, wars attract grifters and scammers. But note how those are outed in the west, while their russian versions like the Wagner owner keep being praised in Russia (until they're no longer useful)
Mr. Vasquez, in fact, was never deployed to Kuwait, Iraq or anywhere else, a Pentagon spokeswoman said. He specialized in fuel and electrical repairs. And he left the Army Reserve not as a sergeant as he claimed, but as a private first class, one of the Army’s lowest ranks.
A quick rundown, please?

I'm going to need a source on that one, I do know he gave $1T to Wall Street which is ~40 times what went to Ukraine if you forget that everything sent to Ukraine already existed and actually cost nothing.
Im sure thats real and not just blue anon garbage
I have not been silent on any of those issues but they are mostly not K related
End all foreign wars
End all foreign aid
Withdraw from UN and NATO
Tell the rest if the planet for the next 50+years unfrick our infrastructure and make shit in the US again.
Yes go full isolationist fortress America purge our government of israelites and other commies.
And yes no loot crates given to kids for a geopolitical problem the west caused by being israelites and lying about "NATO moving not one mile east" when the agreement to remove nukes from Ukraine in 1992 with France and The CIS.
I agree with you one everything except Ukraine not being allowed to be a sovereign nation that makes its own decisions.

fact 4) you have not browsed /k/ before 2022

they are at -least- 30% white, r*ssians are 0% as they are all gypsies

That's why it's listed as two separate facts you mouth breathing ape. Because they don't really go together. But I don't expect an ESL pajeet to pick up on that. have a nice day.
Calm down Pedro, or the ICE will find you.
> lying about "NATO moving not one mile east"
Lol. That shit never happened you literally fricking moron.
Hello. I am Bob from Delaware oblast, Dover district. I too think that the United States should stop interfering in the business of peaceful nations like China and Russia and Iraq. We should withdraw from all of our defensive alliances and also sell off our entire military. Here in Delawarograd the roads are not even paved and my village has no drinking water, our pathetic American infrastructure is no match for superpowers
Apologize.
Please do this, turn brown and balkanize.

>"NATO moving not one mile east"

Can someone post he and Valery's interview video again?

True love story. Horrible this kid is expected to go back just because Russia and its brigade of third world shitskins refuse to let “nazi white supremecist global imperialist Ukraine” “win”, for the sole sake of messaging their Napoleon complex and preventing their racial PTSD when confronted with their inferiority in most things vs the west. Crazy how they can project all of that onto Ukraine of all places. truly the “non aligned” world and communist peoples is made up of nothing but useless eaters and degenerate useful idiots.

are you proposing the 30 year old bradleys, humvees, missiles and rockets should be given out to schools and hospitals instead of sent to ukraine? or are you a moron thinking they are sending bags of cash

>Givi charisma
Considering how FAS everyone looks in this pic givi was a god damn chad in comparison, probably the reason why Shmel-chan went all yandere about him
Did they get married at a ren fair?
Just othodox homies channeling their inner gypsy
>charisma
literally who? is there a webm?
Here's a clip of him blasting some zigger in close quarters. He wiped out an entire squad and their BMP.
There's a half hour or something high quality vid on YouTube. Look up some combination of the words "Predator" "trench" "defense" and you should find it. Also there is an interview where he talks about what's happening in the video, dunno if it's available in English though.

>They hated him because they were israeli while he was telling the truth
Certainly you can't expect that a firearm gifted by Iraqis has any fricking legitimacy in Bongland. Even in the story presented he was supposed to have the pistol deactivated. So he knew he'd be prosecuted for an illegal firearm if the weapon was taken out of the armory, before the memory loss.
Next time he should ask for gun of rambo.
>tourist
You Black folk sucking traitor dicks because you liked the wannabe warlord posturing of chechen Black person Motorola and gypsy baron Givi were always in the minority and no amount of coping and seething will change that.
I hardly even know who those two were, but the level of collective autistic screeching from you all is pathetic
What was pathetic was morons creaming themselves over "based" PoW killing subhumans.
That is the exact uniform Sacha Baron Cohen would have worn if The Dictator had been set in a fictional post-Soviet country.
The fact it's so poorly fitted, cheap looking and most of the medals were literally awarded to him by himself (or his DPR buddies) always cracks me up.
