Ah ye,s the Russians, famously unprepared for… checks notes …Winter! Yes, this makes sense!
Winter offensive is very likely because the Grande Armée is getting French winter gear and Russians are getting… whatever they get, so they’ll probably freeze.
Russians are getting… whatever they get, so they’ll probably freeze
YES, Russia, fucking RUSSIA, the fucking BIG BEAR, THE FUCKING COUNTRY WHERE THE MOST COLD CITY IS, DOESN’T HAVE EQUIPMENT FOR THE WINTER
LIKE, they even remember that the war already passed a winter?
I was under the impression that libs thought history started in February 2022, but it turns out they seem to think that it started sometime in the last 3-4 months.
Best as I can tell, Liberal history began when they last swam past that tiny castle in their bowl.
This is
slander
Just one more winter offensive bro. Believe me, we can invade Russia. It’ll turn out totally different this time. C’mon bro.
But this time we have (technology gimmick)!
hitler at kursk:
Well unlike most other gimmicks yanks wank, night vision devices (i.e. thermals) are actually quite useful. Thing is, Russian forces have them. Both in personal variety and on tech (such as drones)
That’s just it: the assumption that so many smug wine cave warriors have is that every battle involves unquestioned technological superiority as a given, with no countermeasures possible except maybe “those damn rules of engagement” which they can blame for setbacks.
What rules of engagement? Yankee forces routinely bomb civilians. Although I suppose wine cave bastards ignore that
Ukraine forces literally used Ukraine citizens as hostages and shields during the first few months, keeping them locked in basements under their fortifications and not letting them leave on the Russian free passage routes

eye witness accounts
Russia had an agreement where they had daily ceasefires and a safe evacuation route, and they held it open for weeks and nobody went down them. Ukraine forbade civilians from evacuating and escaping, and then whined and complained about civilians being attacks when Russia sieged mariupol
Setting aside the question of winter gear (as comrades have already highlighted it), and even setting aside the murderous masturbatory fantasy of war-as-videogame (what they describe is essentially CoD or Ghost Recon kind of game, with gigachad protagonist having hilarious over the top advantage over poorly programmed NPCs).
I want to focus a little on the example chosen for comparison - Predator movie. Because it is a very peculiar choice. What do we see in the movie? First we see a team of these stereotypical Hollywood gigachad “operators” tear through a gang of Hollywood “rebels” in an absurdly one-sided tussle. Can’t even call it a skirmish. The yanks have better gear, better physique, better everything, exactly as what the idiot in the image imagines yankee troops to be. And then the alien turns it upside down on them, by having better physique, better tech, etc. And it’s once again not a battle, nor a fight, the alien is just hiding in the trees like a rat to occasionally pop a yank with that absurd gun of his. While invisible. And when Arnie accidentally circumvents the predator’s tech - it screeches in impotent rage and fires blindly into the jungle, because its FPS sim got disturbed. Just as the yanks were firing blindly into the jungle earlier, for the same reason.
So what’s the point of this rant? Well, I almost want to see those “SOF teams” try to pull their yankee shit, only to discover what “artillery barrage” means and what “peer equipment” means. But of course, useless removed-s like in the op image won’t get the message and will simply continue writing similar masturbatory fanfics.
Seriously. I recently read a paper somebody linked here which went over Russian artillery doctrine. Long and the short is that the Russians can get effective artillery fires on a target inside of three minutes under optimal conditions, particularly when using UAVs for spotting. They’ve also gotten into the habit of attaching mortars to infantry units and forming them up into mortar teams ad hoc, giving such units some quite potent local indirect fire support.
Ignoring the stupid and outright murderously insane shit in that post…
Are they not aware that Ukrainian men were also conscripted? Ukraine quite literally locked down the borders and wouldn’t let men out and said “go protect the homeland!”
I understand the conscripts thing is meant to he demoralizing or whatever like “you don’t even want this war! Give up!” but that fails when your own country is also conscripting and begging for people from around the world to come help fight Russia. This wasn’t exactly kept a secret either, so it’s just weird seeing it used in this way.
Fascist blocking squads were quite violent with those they deemed cowards trying to desert…
At least Russians who were drafted actually have a sane chance of survival…getting “drafted” by Ukronazis is a death sentence…
Positing that bad terrain, darkness and harsh climate will somehow help the people trying to push forward is incredible.
But what if the people pushing forward possess artifacts made with Aryan bazinga magic?
I can picture it now:
EUROPEANS
tired of being cold this winter because the US turned off your gas supply?
fight in Ukraine where the fire is always on and fresh warming mead flows all night long.
€3,400/month (minus expenses)
alright am I crazy or is this not the exact same thing these people were saying last year as winter was approaching?
They forgot to update the bots, they are stuck in a loop
That’s what’s also confusing me. Like, we’ve already gone through winter of this war so what makes this year different? The Russians survived then and will do the same now so I don’t know what they’re blabbing about.
Most liberals believe history began in 2022. This one happens to be an advanced liberal who believes history started in the summer of 2023
this has to be fake. are there really people who don’t know the history of armies invading Russia in the winter?
I don’t know much about what happened during the Winter War (Soviet Union v. Finland) but people seem to cite it as an example of Russia somehow failing. With Finland now in NATO they seem optimistic that this is going to be Winter War 2 Electric Boogaloo.
In the winter war, Russia got more than what they demanded from Finland and they were forced to sign the treaty for neutrality but I guess they joined Hitler’s group soon.
Thank you for telling me this. The only thing I really knew about the war was this stupid meme I saw years ago:
Or at least one that was very similar. Just showing the Wikipedia information to essentially state how weak the Big Bad USSR was fighting against Little Baby Cutie Patootie Finland. I literally had to look up “Winter War meme” to find this and the amount of others with a similar sentiment is embarrassing as hell.
My aunt went to Finland and she says its common knowledge there that 30% of Finnish men 18-25 died in the Winter War. The USSR offered to trade land to make a buffer zone for Leningrad and Finland said no and they lost that great a percentage of their population as well as losing territory. While Soviet casualties were likely higher being on the offensive, they were proportionately nothing to the Soviets and a major generational trauma for the Finns. But flying Finnish White Death orc shooter 7 billion dead, amirite?
Finland joining NATO unlocked their alliance buff, providing all units with +20% damage on snow tiles
Russians are getting… whatever they get,
Buddy, Russia is blowing up previously never-exploded Britbong tanks and basically disassembling NATO artillery before it even launches, often simply by having weapons that work.
The Transatlantic Empire’s most effective weapons have proven, like always, to be terrorism and targeted political assassinations. The U.S. is as paper a fucking tiger now as it was when chairman Mao said it.
Russians discovering the concept of the Russian winter for the first time in their lives
The Russians never read War and Peace either because it was written in (checks notes) Russian?
I’m sure Russia has military clothing for cold weather somewhere. This has to have been an issue that Russia anticipated at some point coming up
Don’t forget propaganda powerful enough to make people oblivious to their material conditions
Too many folk here in Amerika “know” more about what’s happening in Ukraine than what’s happening in their own damn neighborhoods.
An addict shoots up. A mugger creates a victim. A cop shoots a black child. A homeless man freezes to death. A drunk beats his wife. Everyone starves and struggles against the tremendous weight of debt. Buildings and streets continue to erode ever further, unmolested by the tyranny of public investment. All within the shadow of billowing Ukrainian and Amerikan flags planted on some “apolitical” petit-bourgeois fucker’s perfectly mowed lawn. 🇺🇦 🇺🇸
DID YOU THINK ABOUT OUR WUNDERWAFFEN?
IT WILL BE JUST LIKE IN THE TREATS!
Why wouldn’t the Russians be prepared? Look at where they live, do they not think Russian soldiers are prepared for fucking winter?
Nope. Every winter all Russians die. Every spring saruman makes new Russians out of dirt and coal.
Yea think Russia is a tropical climate or something 😅.
Its just usual armchair general discourse, they think they are big brain because they think about the weather.
It just baffles me because isn’t Russia kind of well known for its brutal winters?
It would be unwise to assume these fanboys know any of history.
Yes, it will go terribly for Russia, the country which notoriously lost every time they fought in winter.
Was gonna say ah yes the Russian army, famously I’ll equipped for winter defenses.
Ukraine already complaining that Russia is cheating by using at Mines on their tanks, I’m sure covering them in snow will make it easier.
I wonder what war looks like in their heads. Is it a fps shooter? A HOI campaign perhaps? Do they seriously believe soldiers just charge at each other?
In this particular case I’d say FPS or TPS. You can guess HOI foos by their fart-sniffing “strategic analysis”
It’s a fucking game of Advance Wars to them.
As someone who occasionally plays Advance Wars competitively, anyone who’s played a map with snow knows how much it stops offensives. These people are below a children’s strategy game at this point.
EDIT: These people don’t even know that Putin will just activate his CO power and make all the Ukranian units lose 2 hp and lose half their movement due to the snow.
Yeah… I really should try getting into Advance Wars more, it’s a fun game but I have issues with abandoning games…
It looks like the Americans from any Hollywood war movie fighting the Soviets from Enemy at the Gates.
It may be related to what space exploration looks like in their heads.
A vehicle lands on a desolate planet, serenaded by LE EPIC HANS ZIMMER music, and amid the BWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAM, humans transcend and become godlike and win the science victory. Roll credits.
