Pretty sure reddit will just upvote anyone and anything willing to kill Russians, at this point.
Always have
im gonna post this on r/ukriane with the caption “look at these brave soldiers going to the front to defend their homeland” and see how long it takes to get banned
5-minute update: it’s getting upvoted and so far no one has pointed out the fact that these are literally children
10-minute update: 30 upvotes with a 97% rate so far 2.6k people have seen it the comments are all in support except one person said don’t wave those things around ffs. This is driving me insane I was hoping I would get banned within a couple of minutes for Russian propaganda or at least someone saying hey they’re a little young but nope.
okay finally fucking finally it took 12 minutes but one person said “19, 20 years old? Jesus Christ”
scratch that 2 people my faith is being restored slightly
Final update 25 minutes in: out of the 7k almost 8k people who have seen this only 2 people said how young they were and 1 person said that its “So sad to see, knowing what they’ll probably have to go through and how many of them will probably die, just because of this one crazy old lunatic”. the post has almost 100 upvotes and I’m starting to think it won’t get banned and they mostly see nothing wrong with this. My personal favorite comment is “The Ukrainian people never cease to amaze me. They love their land of freedom. They are brave, courageous, intelligent and resilient. These qualities are in their DNA as individuals and as a nation. I have no doubt after this war Ukraine will rise as a powerful nation and play an important role for securing a long-lasting world peace.” If you read all this thank you for listening to my ted talk comrades I’m gonna try and sleep and forget about this crime against humanity.

The comments are full of delusional warhawks, saying Russia has no hope in this war. Fuck them.
update: so i woke up and i was banned its was up for like 4 hours I wanna say. they said it wasn’t from a credible source which is kinda dumb who cares where its from its a video. you can see with your own eyes who there sending to fight this war. But only a couple, people less than 10, mentioned how young they were and no one condemned Ukraine for using child soldiers because they were either 18 or volunteers. What I have learned from this experiment is that these people are so far removed from the effects of this war that they don’t care who is fighting it only that ukraine wins. This is what western propaganda will do to mf.
well there’s one person other than me and they seem to be really happy about it
no ik this like driving me insane. these are children and most people don’t care.

They are sent to their death for some good propaganda, deliberately cheered on by those in the west who can then use the death of Ukrainians to pretend the Civilized West have moral highground over them evil bad Russians. Blood sacrifice if you will.
The Ukrainians have been planning to do so for years now: https://www.rferl.org/a/ukraine-kids-camps/28680282.html
Fascists or not, this is truly sad to see. All these lives that are being and will be cut short just because of the empire’s refusal to stop expanding NATO. They don’t know what awaits them.
the fascist tactic of sending children into an active war zone is designed specifically to result in anti-Russian atrocity propaganda (as if sending children into a war zone will have any other outcome!)
Oligarchs’ property and power isn’t nothing, and that’s exactly what those kids would be dying for
lol i posted this to my snap story a few months ago, even with sources
Oh so theyre probably dead already then. Thats a shame I was hoping it was recently and they might still be alive
well your post just got locked by the mods for no sources even though there are many posts on the frontpage that are older and way more popular and also have no source
No they’re dying to make western liberals mad so they send more money for his retirement fund
I’m getting a familiar feeling… anyone else?
This is the Paraguay war all over again…
I don’t know anything about that war. Would you mind giving me some background or something to read?
War Nerd Radio did an episode on it if you listen to that. The guest on the show, Thomas Whigham, wrote these books:
The Paraguayan War: Causes and Early Conduct
The Road to Armageddon: Paraguay Versus the Triple Alliance, 1866-1870
Thanks I look forward to giving that a listen later. Hope you have a good day comrade
The triplice war was an war of agression started by paraguay in 1865, when they passed through argentinian territory without permission and attacked brasillian territory. Brasil, Uruguay and Argentina then started an aliance to fight Paraguay. Because of the awfull Paraguayan military cordination and the old tactics used by the commanders, the main army was almost completelly wiped in the first main battles, (the Paraguayan army was the strongest and most well trained on South america by the time btw, so they could have won if the commaders werent so bad) after losing most of the main army, the paraguayan leader, Solano Lopez, refused to surrender and started to force civilians, many of then being children, to fight against the triplice army. Because of the war being extend much more then it should haved, the Paraguayan economy being destroyed, and the fact that the armies where forced to fight in the awfull terrain of Swamps and jungles, filled of diseases and far away from supplied regions, lots of soldiers and civilians died. The war only ended after Solano Lopez was killed. On total 140.000 people died from the triplice side, and 300.000 people, both civilians and soldiers, died from the paraguayan side.
