Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

I saw some US official asked about the conflict saying some shit about there might be a disruption in Russia's war materiel production in 2025 or 2027 and all I could think about was how the fuck do they think Ukraine will still be engaged in the fight in 2025, much less 2027. Unless the US has a factory where they can produce Ukrainian soldiers, this shit is going to have to wind down soon
From what I understand a good chunk of the current “Ukrainian” forces are mercs and volunteers from places like Poland. Wouldn’t surprise me if their mentality is, we can just pay whomever to go fight there indefinitely, with the pretense of it being a Ukrainian army a pure fig leaf.
I’m amazed that polish mercs would fight for a banderite regime. Some of the more brutal mass killings in Poland were done by Ukrainians
There is nobody who hates Russians more than the Poles, except maybe the Finns. Banderites or not, I think just the baked in pure bloodlust Poles have against Russians has them willing to fight
