The commander of the Ukrainian armed forces trains a soldier. Firearms are only available at the front. Recruits cannot be trusted to not just shoot their commander and mutiny.

    That doesn’t seem like effective training for skills that are not archery.

      they are all laughing at the end of the video, I don’t think this is the real training sounds like it’s hazing or just a joke video.

        Pasting my comment from lemmygrad:

        This is clearly a punishment to humiliate the soldier for some misdeed, you can hear his squadmates laughing at the end.

        Translation is shit, “your pot isn’t cooking” means “you’re fucking dumb”, the commander says “tomorrow you’ll be walking around with the bow and arrow all day long since you’re too fucking dumb to carry a gun, and in the evening during formation, in front of the whole regiment, you will ceremoniously hand over this weapon and I’ll give you back your regular weapon”.

        Funny shit though

      Prior to this, they were giving conscripts a total of 20 bullets for weapons training before being shoved into the meat grinder. Pretty much nothing you’re going to learn either way.

Breadtube if it didn’t suck.

Post videos you genuinely enjoy and want to share, duh. Celebrate the diversity of interests shared by chapochatters by posting a deep dive into Venetian kelp farming, I dunno. Also media criticism, bite-sized versions of left-wing theory, all the stuff you expected. But I am curious about that kelp farming thing now that you mentioned it.

Low effort / spam videos might be removed, especially weeb content.

There is a cytube that you can paste videos into and watch with whoever happens to be around. It’s open submission unless there’s something important to commandeer it with at the time.

A weekly watch party happens every Saturday (Sunday down under), with video nominations Saturday-Monday, voting Monday-Thursday. See the pin for whatever stage it’s currently in.
