Lost against the Taliban, now he's ready to lose against Russia too. Masochist.
Russia lost their empire in Afghanistan and there countries about to implode in Ukraine.
russians lost worse against the afghans though 🙂
>lost
The military did pretty good against them. Not sure why you're trying pin this as a military loss when the U.S. ceased ground operations 8 years before the collapse.
nah your brown roach mom got blown to pieces get rekt
thanks for the post op
Aren't you guys literally prohibitted to touch the subject of some tiananmen square? And you would laugh at someone fot not using racial slurs? Stupid chinkbug nagger. You've sucked israeli cock for so many times, who's the zog now?
>a U.S. Army Marine Corps veteran
what?
Maybe he served in both branches?
dual classed
probably mistranslation and they're not very aware of distinction between army and marines in US. in ukrainian they call everything military Army.
It's probably because in most language, if you are soldier you are "in the army". Then the army has multiple branches, like the marines.
John Basilone was both, but what they meant was probably US MILITARY marine corps veteran.
>debunks
Not watching, but I assume he's trying to play defence for the guys who have and wave nazi flags to try and defend his own fragile ego from serving with them?
Interesting how this guy is pretty pessimistic. Says Russians aren't as stupid as the media makes them out to be, how they've learned a lot since the begin of the war, how they have the firepower advantage and how Ukraine is basically constantly on the back foot, etc.
I do wonder if it's a bit of 'frontline misery bias' though. I get that when you're being shelled by the Russians and taking heavy casulties they don't seem that incompetent, but in the macro sense they don't seem to have learnt that much if you look at the recent Avdiivka meat waves for example.
There's so many russian units they constantly rotate between experienced and unexperienced squads. It was the same situation with the other interview with the ukrainian that had an eyepatch.
One day you get absolute retards you kill easily and another day they send veteran spetsnaz that surprise you with thermals and so on.
Truth is if nobody chimps out in russia again this shit is gonna keep on going for years. Of course you're going to be pessimistic when youre staring down another 5 years of war
I talk to Ukrainians too and ones in "the know" because I'm part of an NGO and I ask around. I was first a bit surprised as well at how pessimistic they were. I was fed on a diet of Perun, Daily Reports from Ukraine, Kings and generals, hell even reddit.
But then I learned about the multitude of serious problems the Ukrainian and government has. Corruption with donations, incompetent government, headbutting between the different branches, lack of proper military training before deployment (this was a big one I heard a lot) and C&C problems all around.
Still, to end on a realistic note and like Perun likes to say, let's look at the big picture. Due to the gross corruption and incompetence of Russian in the first stages of the war we forgot that Ukraine is a poor, corrupt, barely 2nd world country.
Despite this, It's worth looking at the big picture. The narrative went from "Oh Ukraine will fall" to "uhh, why aren't the Ukranians steamrolling the Russians faster with the second hand gear with drip fed dem?”, Who is getting F-16 with J-DAM packages, who has T-55 and who has Bradelys and Leopards. Who has better access to western resources and packages?
>the narrative
Are some kind bug men or a homosexual? The fact your post reads like a pt2 to the homosexual you responded too is incredibly gay so don’t try and deny it.
Talk to Ukrainians yourself and listen to their own words.
Different anon but a friend of mine actually went to fight in Ukraine and there are severe issues with mostly former Soviet officers and corruption in the Ukrainian military. It's better than the issues in the Russian military but that isn't exactly a high bar. You have to remember that the individual soldiers will always resort to doomerism even if they are winning because all they see on the squad level are people dying even if you are winning. This isn't me saying that Ukraine is winning or losing but rather that the perspective of the individual soldier is skewed because none but the very highly ranked ones have access to a lot of information.
>no huge ground offensive
>no nukes
>no cities getting fire bombed
>no single events with thousands of casualties
sorry, but it's just not interesting anymore. we've had this retarded tug of war for 18 months now. we've moved on.
>"The Current Thing" was projection all along.
I was about to call bullshit on his story when I initially heard his accent but he goes into detail that he was born and raised in eastern Europe and has lived in the US for the last 15 years. It matches his accent 100% - a mix of slavic and straight 'murican accent.
>because they can
Post the monke kebab-shaving the Russian demographic pyramid.
Demographics is the weirdest cope for both sides. Ukraine's population is like 30-40 mil and russia's is 130-140 mil, neither side will run out of men before they run out of equipment, and even if we assume current 1k/day losses and extremely generous 20 years of monkey's lifespan left, that's just 7.3 mil. USSR lost 3 times that in WW2 and purposefully killed at least 3 times that many civies, and they still were feared by the west.
I got you senpai.
Demographics aren't really relevant for the current war, but loosing a few hundred thousand working age men to the war is real fucking bad for a country that is already struggling economically.
Though it is not nearly as bad as loosing about a million of your wealthier and smarter citizens that jumped ship and ran right at the start.
why does mentioning azov chads make ziggers seethe with the fury of a thousand sneeds kek?
they gobble the cocks of chechens these days and they are incompetent churkas compared to the hell Mariupol gave them. zigger love those who kick their teeth in
Fuck golden image.
cope
there is still war raging in Afghanistan, it is also fourth world tier
>there is still war raging in Afghanistan
>"we may have lost, but we destabilized the nation, checkmate"
bravo
I mean that's basically the current stated russian goal in ukraine
the russians goal was to destabilize russia?
Russkies are already reduced to trying to fuck up Ukraine before losing as their only realistic war goal LMAO.
So much for taking the country in 3 days.
yet its safe enough for a white british man to travel there and feel safer there than in Birmingham
"no one cares about ukraine anymore" said anon for the 50th time this war
not quite, 2 weeks ago when all the gaza shit was raging(again), the news reminded me about the ongoing ukraine conflict and i was kind of shocked to hear that it was still the same mess. there is a reason nobody gives a fuck about the dozens of conflicts on the african continent. they are rather small scale, they have a ridiculously complicated history that goes back 100 years and they will never end. the ukraine conflict is shaping up the exact same way.
Yes, yes the Russians totally can afford all those losses. That's why they're reactivating T-55s and BTR-50s. And of course there's no problem with Russias demographics, either.
>amerikkka will spend a million dollars to destroy a mud hut
>russia will spend a million Russians
Absolute state of “pro Russia” homosexuals
Why interview this guy? He lost 2 wars back to back
He’s the opposite of the 1911
luger p08
r*ssians seething.
ironic because there was much less attention to the Donbas 2014-2022 and russia still got stuck in a deadlock
>Because they can
Speaks volumes of your cope and their values, assuming that's even an accurate statement
I think you're confusing partisan fenagling with long term goals; aid packages being used domestically as bargaining chips actually shows the commitment to "continuing" the war as if the war had no support, the use of the funding as a bargaining tool would be completely moot.
The Ukrainian military is active, they're making crossings across the fucking Dnieper. The fucking Dnieper that got flooded, they're probing crossing it anyway. They'll outflank the defensive lines across the south's central if they commit to it. If you'll only believe it when you see it, then your projections of the war not moving are just as bullshit as mine are that it will.
It is a fact that Ukraine hasn't even fielded the f16s or Abrams and that the Russian navy is so totally ineffective it is absolutely laughable. Did you think that the Russian Navy was capable of fighting the US Navy? You have to be skeptical of claims at this point if you're arguing in good faith here
>I think you're confusing partisan fenagling with long term goals
No he's trolling

You're the country with a live recorded video of two proud fag-hating ruskis getting murdered by a frag
Just because you don't believe in anything doesn't mean other people don't
Some people believe in ideas. Like human decency and international laws
You're a clueless retard. US military didn't lose to the Taliban. US military ass raped the Taliban for 20 years. The Taliban had a 0% chance of ever beating the US military. The US negotiated a withdrawal of US troops with the Afghan government. The Afghan government falling to the Taliban later is irrelevant.
