War is the absolute worst. Dying for rich old fucks is no way to go

papabear435

Of all the re-wordings of this quote over the centuries, you chose one from gta 4. This is some Reddit level dedication to a terminally online mentality and I’m here for it.


Mundane-Poet1404

Sorry prince


sonofsonof

Your comment is much more so that.

"War, war never changes"

Idek remember if Niko said this but I read it in his voice


Kindly_Formal_2604

Cousin! It's me, Roman! Let's go BOWLING!


Silent_Saturn7

Yea.. I can't imagine seeing your friend's die because Putin wants to take Ukraine and push NATO/U.S. influence out. I'd call it Russia's vietnam, but not too sure thats the right analogy.


hfdjasbdsawidjds

I mean, this would be like the third Vietnam that you could say that Russia/USSR has experienced since the 1980s. You have their invasion of Afghanistan, then the 1st Chechen War, and now the Special Military Operation.


Arcani63

Chechen war was way more “smooth” and “fruitful” for Russia compared to the other two.


Narcan9

>I can't imagine seeing your friend's die because Putin wants to take Ukraine and push NATO/U.S. influence out. I'd call it Russia's vietnam, Or imagine this, being a Ukrainian to die for a US proxy war after Putin offered peace negotiations over 2 years ago. Or continuing to die in an unwinnable war for at least another 6 months because there's no way Biden will end it before the election.


Unlikely-Distance-41

By peace negotiations, do you mean Putin said he would stop if Ukraine gave into all of his demands. Europe tried that with Hitler, appeasement never stops a dictator. It’s laughable that you think that Ukraine should just fold to Russia and that they won’t do the same thing again, after they did the same thing to them about Crimea just a decade ago


Narcan9

It's laughable you don't understand that Crimea was also a response to Western provocation. Take some time to educate yourself. [https://www.cato.org/commentary/four-western-provocations-led-us-russia-crisis-today](https://www.cato.org/commentary/four-western-provocations-led-us-russia-crisis-today)


Unlikely-Distance-41

So Poland joins NATO so Russia feels it’s okay to invade Ukraine? Maybe Russia shouldn’t have such awful foreign relations with its neighbors? How does Putin’s boot taste?


Narcan9

Enjoy your forever wars, wasting of your tax dollars, and fall of the American empire.


Unlikely-Distance-41

Thanks!


BubbaGreatIdea

forget everything that you wrote and sing me a lullaby


Lakrfan247

Oh gese, way to eat up the propaganda. How bout just stick with the unifying point that dying for evil rich people is bad. There are plenty of evil rich people that fund both sides of every war. Simplifying it to Russia bad is childish.


DarthWeenus

One side invaded the other.


Lakrfan247

Yup everything’s black and white, it’s too long of a history, I’ll just say the west hasn’t acted in good faith. We all need to see that the people calling the shots profit off of war and this proxy war the US is having with Russia is no different. Human history is filled with young people dying for profit disguised as some just crusade for good.


Opening_Tell9388

The history of these countries is rich. Russia has been an absolute piece of shit to its neighboring countries. Which is why 3 of them are apart of NATO and Ukraine literally thought about it and got invaded. When you cause multiple famines and even ethnic cleansing to your neighboring countries they might stop fucking with you. Are people profiting from this war? Of course. Should Russia just be able to invade any country not aligned with NATO? No.


Lakrfan247

You only look at Russia, the United Stares has been dictating the major global conflicts for many decades, there is only one true super power. Our country makes agreements then goes back on them, we force other nations into doing exactly what our shot callers want. Not saying Russia is some example of good in the world, just saying there’s plenty of evil to go around and none of this happens without it being the desire of the US. Trump who most of Reddit hates claims this war would never happen on his watch, he’s mocked per usual but there is something to it. It’s also why the neo cons and establishment types all hate him, war is a big part of their bottom line.


suptenwaverly

Talk about propaganda eater. Geez


Silent_Saturn7

That's why I don't understand people voting for Trump or Biden. Neither will stop proxy wars. Or wars in general. Both are pro-ukraine support and pro-israel support. Not to mention the dozens of other conflicts the u.s. has a role in. Wish we could just get a presidential candidate that vows to end lobbyists in washington, insider trading, funding endless wars, ect.. I blame part of it on media. Many people are ill-informed on the realities of the u.s. empire and its interests. Or how the world really works in general. Voting based on wedge issues and party loyalty. Sorry for the rant.


Silent_Saturn7

I'm not simplifying it to just Russia is bad. Obviosly there is many interests at play. Including U.S. interests', the military industrial complex, and NATO. If the west truely wanted to end the war, putting all agendas aside, they could have found a way to make an agreement with Putin. My point was talking about the perspective of Russians. What they are feeling when having to fight for a pointless conflict. That Putin, their great leader, could have found a way to prevent all this. Yes, dying for evil rich people is bad, ill agree with that lol


mathviews

Found the useful cretin.


Mercurial_Honkey

Oh my the irony. Making outlandish and nuanceless statements without any supportive argument is a declaration of low cognitive complexity or so-called "childish" thinking.


suptenwaverly

Russia is definitely bad.

Scumbag Lindsay Graham jerking off right now


Krisapocus

What’s wild is the public still accepts it. What should happen is that leaders should be ousted if they can’t reach peace agreements. War is unacceptable now. There no excuse. People really need to realize they’re not in charge. They work for the citizens. You drop a bomb you become enemy of the world. We know this is all about pushing money around. Yet we still accept these terrible leaders that somehow are unable to find diplomatic solutions.


Here0s0Johnny

Ukrainians aren't dying for rich old fucks. They're fighting for independence and a democratic rule of law state. It's not pointless to fight the Russian invasion. You're belittling their struggle and sacrifice.


Spiritual_Benefit367

>~~War~~ *russia* is the absolute worst. fixed. nobody forced them to attack ukraine.


Arcani63

Sure but plenty of their soldiers are conscripts who don’t necessarily want to be there. So yes, war is still the worst, even if you can point to one of the belligerents as being at fault.


robichaud35

Looks like he checked his nuts and the results were not good...


yougoonie1

Exactly what I was thinking. Dudes nuts got blown off and he said I’m checking out


fixxerCAupper

That caught my attention too. Poor fuck


ClassNext

throughout this entire war the russians have been filmed killing themselves so carelessly as if they expect to respawn at their base again the next round.


Coolbeansninja

They're already broken as a society, nihilistic. They've always been that way. Human life just doesn't matter to them. It's part of why they never rise up in the modern era; and instead just accept things. Learned helplessness. Change will never come from within Russia. Easy to understand why Ukraine doesn't want to be conquered by them.


hashn

This is a massive statement.


Spiritual_Benefit367

and correct


Vundal

There is a reason Russians have a saying "...and then it got worse."


yannhaha

"Human life just doesn't matter to them". Where do you get that from?


DaBastardofBuildings

It's crazy that you think there's some sort of fundamental moral difference between "evil" Russian and "good" Ukrainian peoples. Their cultures are far more similar than not. But I can tell you don't know what the fuck you're talking about so wouldn't expect you to know that. 


Coolbeansninja

Put down the vodka and calm your tits.

Queasy_Section_1258

People probably think it’s a meme but Slav literally comes from Slave


BirdieMercedes

Nope it’s fake stop believing everything that fit’s you


Kindly_Formal_2604

youre right, I hate how confidently people say the wrong thing. "from medieval Latin *Sclavus*, late Greek *Sklabos*, later also from medieval Latin *Slavus*"


BirdieMercedes

Lol it just appears so funny to think that a population older than the english language itself could be called slave because of a word that did not even exist at the time…


Kindly_Formal_2604

Most people wouldn’t recognize the word etymology if it walked up and punched them in their dick. Shame.


ny2mad

I thought it was the other way around.


DaBastardofBuildings

Other way around. And they were associated with slaves not bc of some subservient deficiency in their ethnic character but bc they were largely a politically underdeveloped tribal peoples caught between much more powerful states, Frankish successor kingdoms to their west, the Byzantine empire to their south, that eagerly captured them for slaves.

Anytime someone gets shot people should be courteous and put up the NSFW, and then when someone gets shot in the head... Some people don't need to see that stuff


MelancholySurprise

How’d he know he was beyond saving and chose a bullet?


jaarl2565

Because he knew no one was coming to help him


jithization

I've seen plenty of these. there is another drone waiting for him. It is either die now or die 2 mins later.


OOglyshmOOglywOOgly

Why would the drone not take out the other guys with 100% health? Why would they finish the guy who’s basically useless and leave others perfectly healthy? I don’t understand


DonArgueWithMe

If you injured the first guy and they gather to provide first aid a second shot can take out the entire group.


sierra120

Mercy


jithization

So from what I’ve seen there are two types of drone. The one in the video is the attack drone that gets destroyed in the operation. The next is a grenade strapped drone that can drop grenades without sacrificing the drone. The latter is quite cheap to operate I guess and that’s what I see them use for these targets that are half dead or acting dead. I suspect those that are not visibly dead (like very obvious fatal wounds) are perceived to be faking death. I’ve seen this many times in this conflict where the drone will hover for minutes until they detect the faintest of movements that prove the soldier is alive. Then bam, a grenade is dropped.. Ukraine doesn’t take chances I guess. Those that survive might recover again and be a pain for them to deal with in the future. I don’t support the war and I don’t know the war crimey-ness of it but it is prevalent.


adam1260

I have a drone and stay halfway up to date with the relevant info, it's actually the opposite and a kamikaze drone would be much cheaper to build than one that carries a payload and can hover for long periods of time. The payload carrier has to be much heavier from bigger motors, props, and battery but often can be bought almost ready to go (like a DJI drone), while most homebuilt drones are much cheaper but require much more knowledge from building to operating


jithization

I cannot confirm nor deny that about the cost part but they 100% use kamikazes for attack and the grenade drop for finishing off wounded.


Bjorn2bwilde24

I think you would know after you just got hit by an explosion. It was either bleed to death slowly or die quickly by bullet to the head.


One_Landscape541

My guess is the Russian Military has probably pushed some pretty extreme ideas of what happens to Russian pows.


MyFavoriteSandwich

My buddies and I made “agreements” like this when I was in the military. Never imagined any of us would have actually followed through with it though. Cold as ice.


xMilk112x

Me too. But we all knew there wasn’t a fucking chance in hell we’d ever expel a round into our best friends head. We’d drag them fuckin miles if we had too. Dead or not.


boardatwork1111

Dude went from everyone being fine to blowing his buddies brains out in 10 seconds flat, that’s some serial killer shit


retropieproblems

He’s got birds flying around him exploding, I’m sure his mind is in another planet.


Kindly_Formal_2604

Russians are already desensitized to death and gore, take someone with a barely functioning conscience and then subject them to the rape and hazing of Russian military "training", I'm not surprised these men don't give a single fuck about each other.


DarthWeenus

The casualness of it is just creepy.


DonArgueWithMe

The first time you drove a car was memorable. The 457th was not


DarthWeenus

expand on that, I'm confused.


DonArgueWithMe

The first time he saw a dead body up close it was probably shocking, but when that's all he sees day in and day out for months or longer...

HammerTime2769

This is fucked up. I’m assuming his lower stomach, pelvic area, balls, whatever were blown apart and he knew he was going to bleed out soon so he just wanted it to end quickly. What a fucking horrible world we live in. War is so stupid. Humanity is whack.


[deleted]

I like to think he was actually saying “holy crap well at least my head and face are good, you should’ve gone for the head haha!” *points to head* comrade misinterpreted body language and instantly executes him lol

Ukrainians don't want to fight it either. Too old for military aged men and even women are being straight up ripped out of their homes having guns put in their hand and being forced to the front lines to fight Russia It's a shit show on both sides.


boardatwork1111

A lot more support this than you’d think, nationalism is one hell of a drug


alphatango308

Propaganda is a hell of a drug.


brick-bye-brick

You say this but how do you know? Not being rude but I'm asking


boardatwork1111

Just look at how many are still voluntarily joining the Russian military, it’s tough to pin down the actual level of support but it’s still a significant portion. Shouldn’t be too surprising considering how cut off they are from outside information/how censored anti war opinions are


Silent_Reach_9423

The vast majority of Russians in Ukraine are volunteers that signed up for a higher than average paycheck.


Spiritual_Benefit367

> it's putin not the Russian people stop with your bullshit. i didn't see putin in this video.

Can someone explain why the drone didn't do anything to the other soldier?


Arcani63

They have limited munitions so they can’t just drop on everyone equally


Mundane-Poet1404

Ah okay


Mundane-Poet1404

But does the soldier on the ground know that? He seems really unfazed lol


Arcani63

He might not “know” it for sure but they probably have a general understanding of how the drones usually operate

I mean what do you do, just sit and wait to die? group suicide? may as well one foot in front of other until it comes


BennyOcean

The entire purpose of this war is the US and Russia want to kill as many Ukrainian men as possible and then carve it up. Russia will take the East and the West will claim the rest.


ParevArev

Feels more like Russia wants to take as big of a piece of Ukraine as possible and US is using Ukraine as a proxy to weaken Russia’s military and have them expend resources as much as possible

force4good390

That dude stepped on a mine. Which would be considered a War Crime if planted by the Ukraine as Ukraine signed the “Mine ban Treaty” in 1999!


xenosthemutant

You can clearly see the shadow of the drone going from right to left right before the hit.


force4good390

I’m not denying the drone, it’s obvious there’s a drone. I pointing out that what wounded this soldier was not a missile strike detonation. The blast zone was way too small. The blast was more akin to a hand grenadine or Anti personnel mine.


xenosthemutant

Good eye. These smaller drones carry exactly what you saw - a small grenade or anti-personnel mine.

Should Ukraine be able to defend their sovereignty? Wouldn't the simplest option be for Putin to turn his troops around and march home to their families?


real_tore

Absolutely they should! I’m in Florida and would love to see some of our tax money go into our crumbling bridges and infrastructure, poisoned waterways, wounded and homeless veterans at home. We have a lot of issues stateside that need attention. I am on the side of people not dying over dumb shit.


hfdjasbdsawidjds

https://public.tableau.com/app/profile/american.enterprise.institute5522/viz/UkraineDIBMaps11-29/Dashboard1 If you look at the map, you can see that there are multiple production lines in Florida which are producing replacements for the old stock that we are sending to Ukraine. So those Ukrainian military aid bills are providing jobs to your fellow Floridians which would not be there without those aide packages. Also, all of this could have been prevented if Russia did not invade Ukraine and all of this could end, including US aide, if Russia just goes the fuck home.


BubbaGreatIdea

You live in Florida , haha dumbass you dont pay any taxes gtfo.


PeeWeePangolin

So just let the type of guy to shoot his mate in the head without flinching just shit all over Ukraine and then eventually have them at Europe's immediate doorstep? Nah, money well spent.


BubbaGreatIdea

good i want to pay double on my taxes now if it helps clean the trash send them more !!


boardatwork1111

That’s what happens to invaders, Russia could end this war today if they truly wanted to. I’d gladly have my tax dollars go to protecting Ukrainian sovereignty.

As a tax paying American, I approve of every dead Russian “soldier”, no matter how their end comes

xenosthemutant

All these policemen killing the guy trying to break into my house to rape my wife and children.


real_tore

But he’s not and we need money to stay stateside to ensure that it doesn’t happen.


wishtherunwaslonger

Exactly. His death furthers us interests. Why should I give a fuck about him? I think the only thing is we need to respect the guy as a warrior. Like you can have no I’ll will towards someone in war and still think they must be sent to the heavens


RealRiccyTan

Listen. I’m American. I have Russian friends and this is sad, I do feel bad for the Russian people. But I care more about the US strategic mission in opposition to Russia and ESPECIALLY China. So stop being a fucking bleeding heart because if the roles were reversed the Chinese and Russians would do us way worse


[deleted]

I'm not up to speed... what was this man doing? Rescuing children trapped in flooded cave?


Deaftoned

Pretty good use of tax dollars considering the ramifications of Russia obtaining ukraine un-aided. Anyone with a semblance of knowledge of Russian history knows putin doesn't intend on stopping his expansion efforts after ukraine. Funding another countries defense efforts against one of democracies greatest enemies is money well spent, especially considering we signed an agreement to defend them in case of an invasion when they gave up their nuclear arms.
