which part of the headline are you saying is inaccurate

[-] LeniX@lemmygrad.ml 26 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

The problem is not the headline but western liberals who have a strong tendency of rejecting their own capitalist propaganda media once it finally starts to acknowledge reality, at least in part. To them everything that doesn't conform to their pre-manufactured beliefs is "Russian propaganda"

Check the instance they're on. They're just making a (kind of repetitive) joke.

I'm not surprised it's struggling with desertion; so many people just being yanked off the streets, videos also of women crowding the streets because so many, so many men in their villages are dead. How many of those yanked off the street even believe in this war? And worse, how many of the original Nazis who were gleefully killing civilians in Donbas are actually still around and managed to avoid being sent into the meatgrinder? It feels like the Nazis are the ones who were sent in to Kursk considering the many civilians they've killed.

They are being actively spared, actually. The 12 separate brigade - the notorious Azov neo-Nazi special forces have been chilling in forests near Kupiansk for a very long time doing virtually nothing, they are rarely asked to do shit, if ever. The 3rd separate brigade (also Azov Nazis) is just a TikTok media brigade - when they sent them to "stop the collapse in Avdeevka" they straight up refused and ran.

Something something paper tigers. This human filth can only larp and harass the unarmed

The nazi battalions form the stormtroopers of the regime. Once the war is over, Ukraine hopes to use them as shock troops to commit more terrorist attacks. They're too valuable to send to the meatgrinder

Honestly, it's worse than that IMO (if only they'd go pester their NATO funders). They're the comprador/policing force keeping the regime in place, they're basically the enforcers of the NATO line (that there will be no peace with Russia, that the persecution and crimes against minorities will continue, etc).

The original, democratically elected govt. of the Ukranians was neutral (Yanukovych). The Nazis were instrumental in bringing that down, they were the US' boots on the ground so to speak. Then the Ukrainians eventually elected a "peace" candidate (Zelensky). Whether he actually intended for peace originally, hell if I know (whatever the case I have no sympathy for him, he is guilty of immense crimes at this point and has been for a long time, well before Russia's SMO) but it's clear that to a large extent, the Nazi former-paramilitary factions (now legitimized in the military and in govt) have significant influence and only Uncle Sam can get them to back down (as with that general who Zelensky tried- and failed- to dismiss, etc).

In their own words - "we're 10%, but we're the decisive 10 percent". They absolutely do have control over the government because their people infested said government

Precisely, precisely

[-] CyberMonkey404@lemmy.ml 5 points 1 week ago

This goes to show that the idea many people here have - namely that the nazi brigades will be angry and disillusioned with the west and terrorise Europe later down the line - is incorrect. They're doing exactly what the original nazis had done - send people from other nations and volksturm to die, while SS and generals negotiate deals and get cozy homes out in Americas

[-] UlyssesT@hexbear.net 17 points 1 week ago

They only need one epic hero that takes on the entire Russian military at once in a single jet, just like in the treats!

Take off every "Ghost of Kiev!" You know what you doing. Slava Ukrani!

[-] Bloobish@hexbear.net 15 points 1 week ago

Bu-bu-but I thought the new war crime drones were gonna win the war!?

[-] KlargDeThaym@lemmygrad.ml 10 points 1 week ago

Just tucking collapse. Please. This war drives me to severe depression, I feel like a prisoner in what used to be my home. I'm already seriously considering sawing my leg off, just to have a chance of escaping this horrorshow of a country.
