@LoesbyForIdaho @TrashPanda08x Didn't see you complaining about MCLOS (manual command to line of sight) guided missiles and how inhumane & cowardly it was to use them, or artillery, or ATGMs. War isn't fucking fair and blowing people up from a distance is how people have done things since we figured out how to

I want every American to oppose this war, but I disagree with you here. POV Drone videos rightfully make you hate the operator for his cowardice and dishonor. Such a video with a American soldier being killed would galvanize some to fight against these Iranian barbarians. It would be a mistake of propaganda for Iran to release such a video.

@vrilliumlive Considering that Russia is sending 1-3 poorly equipped soldiers at a time on "assaults," with the objective of advancing, hiding, and waiting for more soldiers to show up, a cheap, single-use munition capable of observing a wide area is actually a very effective use of resources.

@vrilliumlive The only difference between FPVs and MCLOS (manual command to line of sight) guided missiles is that there are more FPVs in use, and you can watch footage of it from anywhere. Blowing someone up from a distance is actually a pretty old technique.

@fanteLiscio OK this is a bit reductive I'm just into housing like that But the end of communal housing probably did contribute to the birth of consumer culture; it might've even been a prerequisite

@fanteLiscio Before concrete panel buildings, people were either lucky enough to get the fancy shit on the boulevards or lived in communal housing on the backroads. After concrete panel buildings, people started thinking about buying appliances and furniture. Total American cultural victory

two things that “radicalized” me about this useless stupid war: 1) these videos are often posted with masturbatory glee 2) the victims are always uniformed but very often unarmed and without helmets… almost like they’re PoWs who have been released and hunted on video for sport

@Ncbdbc189334 @TheAbsoluteSta2 @Jo0nat4n @0000yyxt @escapefrommelos I have news for you: doi:10.18449/2024C24 Russia is avoiding wider mobilization because the government will lose popularity, and Russians might resist. The government is relying on paying poor people elevated contract bonuses and suggesting that they won't go to the front.

@TheAbsoluteSta2 @Jo0nat4n @0000yyxt @escapefrommelos Most people don’t actually want to sign up for the military. Many military forces are propped up by mandatory participation from the government. Wars are stupid regardless and nobody outside those in power benefits from it. Not the soldiers fighting, not the citizens, nobody.

@escapefrommelos The "kill zone" also extends far past the frontline. It's not a crime to kill a uniformed enemy soldier participating in an armed conflict in your own country, regardless of whether he has a weapon. There's not really anything Ukraine can do but continue and hope Russia leaves.

@escapefrommelos They tend to have weapons, helmets, or both, as far as I've seen. They're also alone because this is how Russia is fighting right now. It used to be small groups of 2-3, now just 1 soldier at a time, at least this past winter. They're also usually poorly equipped.

@Colgrave1322 @gr77jf @ShitpostRock2 You really don't know what runet looks like. You can absolutely have large group chats in apps like WhatsApp and Telegram, and Russians do communicate this way, and why wouldn't they, especially when it comes to snuff films and evidence of war crimes?

@Colgrave1322 @GtarisBocchi @ShitpostRock2 The requirements for signing a contract with the Russian military have been relaxed significantly as well, likely so that the government has a wider pool of poor people from past the Urals to draw from: doi:10.18449/2024C24

@Colgrave1322 @GtarisBocchi @ShitpostRock2 Most Russian soldiers are not conscripts. They sign contracts for lucrative pay (bonuses have repeatedly been raised to compensate for lost manpower). To be fair, contract soldiers don't always expect to take part in assaults, but Ukraine can't do anything about that.
