Dying for a country you couldn’t point on a damn map

Absolutely epic

On the bright side, a lot of them were likely former US/Western Special Forces “operators”, so everyone that gets corrected by a Russian missile is one fewer potential stormtrooper.

They actually believed Ukraine was winning and that they’d have the chance to call in ghost of Kyiv airstrikes like they did in Iraq and Afghanistan…

Not so nice to be on the receiving end of that I guess

I’m reading through the thread and it’s some of the most unhinged stuff I’ve ever read. People who’ve been in Ukraine have low morale and believe the foreign volunteers are being used as cannon fodder. Then there’s the unhinged bloodthirsty reddit hogs calling for widespread civilian insurgency, doing that American thing where they demand dying on your own terms rather than accept you were wrong for a second. There are also a lot of folk with a 4chan attitude of giggling at warfare.

Yeah do not join the foreign legion in Ukraine. Looks like they’ll hand you a rifle and one magazine of ammo then park you in front of an urban checkpoint so you’ll draw bombs away from evacuating civilians. That seems like the only use foreign volunteers have right now.

widespread civilian insurgency

Lmao, because my relatives told me that the main wish of civilians is “Just fucking end this as soon as possible, no matter how, up to complete surrender if necessary”.

Although they are in the Eastern Ukraine, popular sentiment in other areas may be very different.

Critical support, I guess?
