  1. They all say that, or that they were just conscripted bus drivers. Makes it easier to escape the responsibility as POWs and also victimizes them in the West. “Poor Russian boys”

  2. As if ever russian soldiers were anything other than meat…
    That was the only tactic that allowed them to win …

  3. We need to hack digital infrastructure and blast this over any open channel available to Russian populations. For fuck sake, he’s just a kid! And we’re just standing here arguing over aid!

  4. The word used was probably мясо which literally means “meat” but when used with the adjective form of the Russian word for “cannon” it means “cannon fodder”.

  5. I have a question about the naval infantry…do they jump out of a ship and walk on water?

  6. Russian strategy is to throw bodies at the enemy until the other side runs out of ammo

  7. I mean…. It’s been how long now and you are just now finding that out? Lol I’m guessing they will never turn against Putin and will Just continue driving headfirst into tanks.

  8. Russia’s only strat has always been to throw wave after wave of bodies against enemies to exhaust them aka Zapp Brannigan style.

  9. Even if Ukraine suffered no casualties, they will bear the trauma of having to kill fellow human beings. This is part of the cruel calculus of the Russian assault.

  10. >eastern edge of the 270-mile salient that Ukrainian troops carved out

    Can someone help define how “salient” is used in this sentence? Never heard it used like this before.

  11. There is a pretty good solution for this. Aim at your commander, pull the trigger, get as much intel as you can and surrender to the Ukrainians. It’s not that hard.

  12. Let Ukraine strike wherever they want with any weapons they have. And give them more weapons.

  13. >Dazed and wounded Russians stumbled out of the damaged and smoking BTR, right before a second Ukrainian tank put another 125-millimeter round into the vehicle

    I can’t believe anyone was able to survive the blast, but it appears many did.

    >We were sent as meat

    I think the article left out the most important part of the quote:

    >but saved only by Ukrainian soldiers.

    Putin needs to go.

  14. Wait: redditors say that there is no russian meat wave attack, that it is only Western fake news.

  15. at least he surrendered, otherwise he wouldn’t be able to say something like that

    but it sure does sting to be sent out without being told theres 2 tanks waiting for you
