I have never understood the "strong man" motif. This dude is obviously unfit for any sort military function (dudes fat). I don't know why people think this looks tough. I don't think it makes you look tough, I think it makes whatever your trying to project look worse.

Bush wore a fucking flight suit for the "Mission Accomplished" briefing. lmao.

[–] Biggay@hexbear.net 6 points 2 weeks ago

Would have been cooler IMO if he came out of the jet in an actual suit

Fascism is reality distorting.

[–] jackmaoist@hexbear.net 11 points 2 weeks ago

He did a pogrom so he's a forever strong man for indian fascists.

At least maybe fewer people will die in war, if you can just give up after brief losses and say "oh we won actually, nothing materially changed but we won."

[–] jackmaoist@hexbear.net 26 points 2 weeks ago

The BJP will only use this to boost their own popularity and oppress minorities more freely.

Well, they did put an exploding jet on the poster.

Where is the trailer for this movie?

Edit: The first O in Sindoor looks like a planet. It's a new Star War, I take it?

[–] GoodGuyWithACat@hexbear.net 5 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

Operation Cinder in the new Star War canon was when the Empire starting doing random planet wide genocide after the Emperor died.

What's going on with the central little sillouete? No hands?

[–] BelieveRevolt@hexbear.net 20 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Just assume every picture like this is AI slop now yea

[–] RNAi@hexbear.net 6 points 2 weeks ago

It's really the aesthetics of fascism

[–] CommCat@hexbear.net 16 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

India is denying that they lost any fighter jets, including their infamous Rafale fighter jets, calling all the pics of the downed jets as photoshopped. Even though an anonymous French official admitted to CNN that there was atleast 1 Rafale lost in the clash.

Even in the 2019 clash, where there was undeniable proof that India lost the air battle, because their mig pilot was captured alive and paraded to the media. The pilot was returned back to India, but India spun it around as a returning hero, because they claimed that before the mig pilot was shot down, he fired his missile and took down a Pakistani F-16l, this is a Bollywood action movie script. Oh wait, they actually made Bollywood movie on this pilot lmao.

-Tthought this current clash has cooled down, but a terrorist attack just happened in Balochistan Pakistan. A bus was bombed with deaths including children. Balochistan Seperatists are responisble, but these seperatists/terrorists are most likely tied to India's RAW and/or CIA, because these groups have killed a lot of Chinese engineers working on the CPEC project.

The Indian military admitted days ago that we've lost jets.

I will say, at least they didn't make him jacked like the Trump imagery.

This is the average vegetarian supremacist build in India so it's considered good.

[–] shawn1122@lemm.ee 11 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

I don't blame the vegetables for this. This is all ghee's doing.

[–] Lussy@hexbear.net 10 points 2 weeks ago

Lentils and ghee haz enuff protein!!

[–] ThermonuclearEgg@hexbear.net 16 points 2 weeks ago

Actually this is a good idea. Ireland should have 10 day victory celebrations for anti-thatcher-action every year

[–] ANarcoSnowPlow@hexbear.net 13 points 2 weeks ago

"Mission Accomplished"

Someone saw the pic of W and was like "wow, this seems like it went really well, let's do that"

[–] ClimateStalin@hexbear.net 12 points 2 weeks ago

Did the conflict even last 10 days?

[–] Utter_Karate@hexbear.net 11 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Does this victory celebration mean that the war is over and they are going to stop escalating toward Armageddon?

[–] CanYouFeelItMrKrabs@hexbear.net 9 points 2 weeks ago

Yeah there was a ceasefire last week

[–] TommyBeans@hexbear.net 10 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (2 children)

Who’s the pudgy old man playing war hero? Looks like AI slop

[–] Robert_Kennedy_Jr@hexbear.net 12 points 2 weeks ago

That looks like Modi the prime minister.

[–] jackmaoist@hexbear.net 9 points 2 weeks ago

Mussolini from Wish

[–] lemmyseizethemeans@lemmygrad.ml 10 points 2 weeks ago

Mission accomplished! And uh, good luck with going to war against a nuclear armed country where their religion is all about martyrdom. No way that can end badly

[–] MF_COOM@hexbear.net 8 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)
[–] CanYouFeelItMrKrabs@hexbear.net 9 points 2 weeks ago

A lot of signs/posters are in English in India

[–] shawn1122@lemm.ee 6 points 2 weeks ago

Colonial legacy.

[–] CanYouFeelItMrKrabs@hexbear.net 5 points 2 weeks ago

India and Pakistan are both declaring victory which is how the conflict can be over after 4 days

[–] shath@hexbear.net 5 points 2 weeks ago

you fucking ate it dickheads

[–] GoodGuyWithACat@hexbear.net 4 points 2 weeks ago

A day of celebration for every jet lost.

[–] sodium_nitride@hexbear.net 4 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Another thing is that "sindoor" is used for religious marriage rituals, which makes this shit even more confusing.

[–] shawn1122@lemm.ee 2 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

Its because men were targeted in the civilian attack by LoK in Pahalgam.

[–] Dirt_Owl@hexbear.net 3 points 2 weeks ago

Ooof, couldn't even be bothered to make real art, look at that terrible AI logo
