Didn't they only start using it because they fricked up all of the communications towers in Ukraine so their soldiers couldn't reliable communicate with eachother forcing them to spraypaint some shit on their vehicles to identify eachother? Isn't this literally the first big failure they are basically propagading?
They are shameless moron.
You have to understand that Russians have been buckbroken by strongman for ages. All they have left is cope. Z-coping is one of them.
>You have to understand that Russians have been buckbroken by strongman for ages
Can we please not point fingers at each other in regards to being braindead, obedient, pointless cattle after two years of lockdownerism? It makes you look like a disingeneous homosexual.
>but what about...
Unless you live in a far left shithole people stopped caring about the coof over a year ago. If you want an example of lockdowns taken far beyond any logical extreme, look to China.
>people stopped caring about the coof over a year ago
More disingeneous homosexualry. Half a year ago you were still following arrows in Lidl and you will again when a man on TV orders you to.
There is no difference between vatnik and you.
Black person I don't even know what the frick a Lidl is maybe it's time to put down the IMAX film reel and stop projecting
Sorry my country never had lockdowns. Cope and seethe though.
Sure it ddn't.
>following disingenuous coof orders for a few years is totally the same as following waves of leadership blindly into hell for hundreds of years to the point it's baked into the psyche
Kek
>I-I sucked government boot and wiener like a whipped b***h only for few years reeee
Lol. A I hope you are not yuro when you say shit like this, that would be even funnier.
Conscription order's in the mail, Vlad
I am not russian, now back to doing everything man on tv tells you to and showing your medical records to every mall peasant, mr. Free Man.
Yes we know you are not ethnic russian but you're still going to the front unfortunately, in fact I think they pick you guys first
>you are muh russian
You are the same drone as every russian. Don't flatter yourself and pretend you are more independent.
Idiots like you are why contributing posters need a safe space on this board. What about American racism? You don't think uncle sam would conscript you and send you into the meat grinder like in Vietnam? Get real at least Russians are giving their lives for its territory and not pointless colonial conquest or crusades for US empire.
>at least Russians are giving their lives for its territory and not pointless colonial conquest or crusades for US empire.
See, that's loser talk.
The US fights in the other side of the planet because they can, while folks are confy at home. Meanwhile Russia larps as a inbred mix of the Soviet union and Nazi Germany, loses battles in their borders, and their people face economic doom.
>What about American racism?
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/And_you_are_lynching_Black folks
You are under the impression this war is not pointless as frick?
>its territory
Ah. Mental gymnastics makes it not random conquest.
>literal what about
Kys cum chugger, nobody here thinks the US or Ukraine are sacred cows. Russia just happens to be even more full moron and its fun to watch them die.
>American hours
It doesn't surprise me you try to spin this as if USA is an historical equal to Russia. Russia is a civilization as well as a country and Ukraine is part of the great Russian nation. Americans will never under stand the Russian world's mutual destiny.
>try to spin this as if USA is an historical equal to Russia.
Of course not, the USA Is Russia's superior in all ways that matter. Nothing equal about them, not has there ever been.
>It doesn't surprise me you try to spin this as if USA is an historical equal to Russia.
Russia isn't even an equal of a 19th century US state, let alone the greatest nation in the history of the species.
I'm not even american and this is the funniest cope I have seen in this thread. Dont act like the rest if the world isnt shitting on you 24/7 Igor
>I am not russian
Oh, so you do it for free?
Calling you a bootlicker? Yes, it is my pleasure.
>0.00 roubles have been deposited into your account
>Your bank account has been cancelled over dangerous hate speech on hate platform
Kek, no hate speech laws in burgerland. Cry more, third worlder.
Nobody talked about laws, seethoid. Having a bank account is not a riggt.
Ownership is though.
>if I shitpost about covid they wouln't talk about russians being morons
It's not gonna work
Unironically Monke man became delusional when he had lockdownerism
Very fricking moronic post. Westerners don't even need strongmen to enslave them. They get fooled easily and go willingly. No force required.
What enslavement you tard?
Despite all the alarmist homosexuals and Russia-sponsored vax hoaxers and tinfoil hatters not a single Western country devolved in a permanently locked down authoritarian state.
Correct. If anything the real "conspiracy" was hand waving the dangers and wanting everybody back to work because office real state owners and hotel/tourism industry were losing a frickton of money. And those incluse also a big part of hedge fund/big company shareholders. Also Russia was funding anti-vaxx bullshit in the West while selling their sputnik vaccine in the third world, lmao.
BTW the virus is still killing people and mutating, but countries no longer track it to avoid having to do anything (unlike paranoid China). Luckily mass vaccination seems to have build some resistance to the worst in the population.
>Anything the real "conspiracy" was hand waving the dangers and wanting everybody back to work because office real state owners and hotel/tourism industry were losing a frickton of money
Enjoying your 20% inflation and skyrocketing prices? Stopping your economy to suck China's dick has its consequences.
China is literally the only country still doing lockdowns. They've been the most affected by this debacle that hit them just when their economy is bursting at the seams. They lost a frickton of money with the disruption of the global economy and supply chains. They also have no interest in their main customers not being able to pay for the consumer goods they make, and losing face because they allowed to exist dirty wet markets with diseased animals to keep local businesses happy, despite being warned many times since the 2000s about their danger.
>What are you talking about?
*Sends his country's wealth to corrupt Oligarchs in Ukraine*
>WE ARE FREE
*EU sanctions a country for democratically electing a leader
>The west is a place where the little guy matters

ok moron
the left truly can not meme
>the left is anti vax and spreads Ben Garrison memes
My brother in christ how the frick can you still exist with a lack of common sense?
How is old Zyklon Ben getting worse at drawing over the years?
homosexuals seethe but yeah most these gays got assraped and buckbroken by gay talking heads with covid and will never recover lol.
I never thought I'd see /k/ hit reddit levels of propaganda brainwashing, it's honestly pathetic. I wish they would just ban this shit from the board already.
the Z means зaпaдный вoeнный oкpyг which means western military district
I think they just kind of went with it, however the more failures emerged, the more they wanted to get rid of it, but that would have meant admitting their defeats, so now they're just stuck with it
>Didn't they only start using it because they fricked up all of the communications towers in Ukraine so their soldiers couldn't reliable communicate with eachother forcing them to spraypaint some shit on their vehicles to identify eachother?
I thought they painted it from the first day?
It's another schizoid misinformation thread. OP could have spent 10 seconds in a search engine searching "russian z symbol meaning" before making a thread but didn't because he's either too moronic to or hes being another shitlord adding more misinformation to the shitheap that's /k/
I actually didn't know! You are correct to say that I could've just googled it but I thought letting /k/ amuse me and making vatnigs seethe would be more fun.
go back
>Trolling outside of /b/
They did. They just made the shit up like we don't know that invasion markings are commonplace.
No, the invasion marks predated the invasion by a couple days. I think they started painting them around Feburary 21st.
This. The markings were being speculated on before invasion proper.
Also this lmao
They shunned or gave up all the cool symbols, and have been reduced to stealing from fricking ZORRO
This image is moronic. Drakens are really cool planes but have never been operated by a NATO member.
Since when did /k/ care about knowing anything about weapons?
They are now that Sweden has joined.
>NATO Black Sun
Damn with the resurgence of far right parties all over Europe this might be reality if more dumb shit happens due to Russians or Chinamen.
>Draken
>NATO
Whoever did this needs to kill himself as soon as possible
You need to have a nice day yesterday
>american hegemony
>black sun
I thought they had their own alphabet why come they use one of our alphabet?
Z(elenskyy)
O(leksandrovych)
V(olodymyr)
wtf
I believe it. Supposedly the start of the invasion was also going to happen in 22.2.22, but it was delayed. Seems like Putin likes symbolism, either because he's into it, or to sell himself better in his more schizo propaganda that paints him as living Orthodox saint
>weird obsession with numbers
Sounds like israeli gematria
>repeating digits
Bros... He's one of us.
becouse it symbolizes their love for eachother
They're using it to prevent confusion because they're using Soviet equipment against Soviet equipment. They also use V and O for other battle groups representing what axis of advance they were.
They thought the invasion would be over in a week so they just dumped shitty markers on vehicles to identify friendlies
The west made fun of the scuffed tag
Russia proudly answered by spamming "Z" everywhere, sure of their claim and incoming victory
Of course now that we're 8 months into the 1 week military operation, the magic faded
It's moreso that they never developed anything like the battlefield management system the US and NATO uses so they have no clear way of identifying where friendly forces are - plus Ukraine uses all the same equipment so visual ID is difficult. I'm sure that this war has had massive friendly fire incidents on both sides
Z for IZraitel.
It was on vehicles a few days before the invasion started. That's when everyone could see that it was going to happen when they did the tactical markings and added the extra fuel tanks to vehicles.
It's a death worship symbol, all of Thier armour got wiped out in the thunder runs to Kyiv, and on all of the photos around the world the symbol on everyone of these failures showing abject destruction of the previously consider mighty Russian army, was this Z on all burnt hulls. Westerners and Ukraine started posting Z first as a symbol of mocking, The z on scooby vans etc
So the Russian state propaganda rushed to control the damage of the interpretation of this images within Russia by pushing the Z symbol as the Russian swastica, something adopted as a symbol of pride. Not because it means anything, but to prevent the negative association of seeing warmongering burnt out z tanks and clown cars, with z is strong z is pride or whatever. It's their pride flag, celebrate the total failure and degeneration instead! Just post Z
Z is just a cool letter. Just like X or Q, but X is more like a target so that isn't good to have on yourself and Q kinda looks like an O from a distance so that's also a no.
>rooska commies can't spell for shit anyways
Suppose at this point it is a symbol of malice and a swastika with a veneer of plausible (to some) deniability
Those who use it unironically at this point know what they are doing deep down
y'all realize that Z is just a sideways N yes?
rooska commies can't spell for shit anyways
>Igor, let the troops know that N will be the symbol
>What does it mean?
>No Nazis
>Z?
>No N
>So we're not using N?
>NO, NO NAZIS
>No no to Z? So yes to Z?
>NOT Z
>Yes, there are hohol nazis. Mission Z will destroy them.
>REEEEEEEE
They painted their vehicles with symbols since the beginning.
They are just using cartel leftovers.
You know how they complain about Marvel? Zorro inspired Batman so they are DC gays
Whenever I drive through a rural community, I keep seeing that disgusting Z symbol on those hick barndoors.
It's fricking disgusting that I'm expexted to feel sympathy for those "working class" Trump supporters when they're putting a fricking hate symbol in their architecture.
frick putler, frick trump
AND FRICK WHITE AMERICA
Go back
you are gay and I don't believe you, I haven't seen a single one
It's a bad joke.
i'd flick your forehead for false flagging this poorly
>Whenever I drive through a rural community, I keep seeing that disgusting Z symbol on those hick barndoors.
Those are all throw away symbola for quick recognition that will be memory holed as soon as the war is over
Why'd they have to use one of my favorite letters
Imagine how funny it would have been if they picked Q
Just like Tsushima, raising the Z flag....then kicking Russian ass.
I am fairly certain that the letter Z has been used previously in pro-Russian contexts in Ukraine decades ago. I can't really remember how/when but I do distinctly remember it being a symbol prior to the war.
This is extremely obscure though, it's the sort of stuff a 40-50 year old person from Donbas would know.
But what should the symbol of Ukraine be?
So far it seems to be the Cossack Cross.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cossack_cross
it's a sideways N
>Why are Russians so proud about this symbol?
Half swastika, they can behave as nazis with it without actually being considered nazi by russian mob. They are missing the fact that the russian "people" don't think so they could use good ol swastika and no one would give a shit.
what's up about the fascists and /misc/gays obsession with esoteric symbolism?
