So there now is an article in the local newspaper about how Russian soldiers are calling their mothers because they are surprised they are seeing paved roads for the first time lmao. Guys, soldiers in the second biggest and most advanced army in the world are surprised at paved roads. You can’t make this up.
gives me “cuban seeing baseball stadium for first time” vibes
It’s so stupid. I have driven around in multiple Eastern European countries and while the roads are not always as good, it’s not like they are made out of sand. This goes for both Russia and Ukraine. The Russian army is incompetent, competent, understaffed, going all in, losing, winning, deserting etc all at once according to the media.
Like, I get that the West wants to have a certain view of Russia as an enemy but would it be too much to ask to have at least an honest way of reporting? You can be against Russia without spreading a load of shit.
Huh, I’ve only heard of “Russian soldiers calling their mothers because they are just conscripts and weren’t told where they would be going”. That one I’ve heard a lot.
