The Russians have a new EW system for individual protection - the bucket.

It was the bucket that one of the Katsaps put on his head when the Ronin launched your drone at them🔪 It didn't help.

UPD: they write that it is not a bucket. And part of the washing machine😂

Fuck commenters saying this is cruel. Fuck these buffoons.

Bomb your CO. Don't support fascism or we'll laugh at your death.

Can't fascism and conscripts being thrown into a meat grinder both be bad? Isn't one just a consequence of the other?

From that perspective, the fascists (Putin & co) have agency and the ability to decide their actions (attack another country), but the conscripts don’t, they’re passively „being thrown“. I strongly disagree with that point of view.

These conscripts at least partially decide to throw themselves into a meatgrinder, hoping for glory and money at the expense of the Ukrainian people. Fuck them.

Pretty sure a conscript’s motivations are avoiding prison or corporal punishment.
