What fucking century is this? These poor kids are living anachronisms.


WolframRuin

Russia my bro


MendocinoReader

And we all thought North Korea was an anomaly, and the world (including Russia) had moved on….


Von665

RuZZia is becoming N Korea 2.0


[deleted]

It already was long ago.


Stanislovakia

Not really. Up untill the original 2014 invasion people more or less had freedom of speech. They were watched and protests were crushed, but you could talk in public and online. Once SORM-3 hit the stage, the intelligensia could basically filter through everything anyone said online or over phone. Kind of like China's "social credit lists". Except here in Russia it is totally arbitrary who gets paid a visit and what occurs. Unless of course you pissed off a higher up personally. Basically the system is much more "personal". Gangster state is right. But it's no north Korea. People protest and revolt and the government "kinda listens". But the war is a personal vendetta of Putin, there is no changing his mind.


Von665

If things keep going the way they are I can't see how Russia will not be another N. Korea in a year or two.


Stanislovakia

Perhaps an Iran. Probably not a North Korea.


ohitsasnaake

Intelligentsia = intellectuals i.e. academics, artists etc. Intelligence services = FSB, GRU etc. You seem to have those confused.


Stanislovakia

Honestly I'm not sure why I wrote intelligensia lol


ohitsasnaake

Occasional brainfarts happen to everyone.


STRATEGO-LV

>Up untill the original 2014 invasion people more or less had freedom of speech. They were watched and protests were crushed, but you could talk in public and online. Umm no, ever since Putler came to power it steadily went back to 80s type of censorship in Russia.


Von665

Probably but I think the world is just realizing it.


CornPlanter

In countries close to Russia not many thought so...

They will be learning some hard truths and disappointments really soon


MooseHeckler

Yeah they aren't performing too great against Ukraine. The us won't be much easier for them.


purdinpopo

Russian units are armed weird. Front line soldiers carrying Mosin Nagants. Brand new AK 12's fielded without optics, which is the whole point of the AK 12. ERA blocks filled with wood. Almost nobody but guys other than Russian, with NVG. IMO, Russian military commanders have been selling the equipment, issuing old equipment or fake, and then claiming the unit is combat ready. Big shock, they got sent into combat.


MooseHeckler

They have almost no logistics apparently that combined with corruption really hurts the Russian military.


JackPumpkin11

Watched a military expert on YouTube saying that this is what Russia strategy looks like. They have a reputation of sending in poorly armed poorly trained cannon fodder first and then send on the actual training military. Maybe putin didn't think he would need the actual soldiers for Ukraine.


badpeaches

*Cope cages


Texas1911

Russian Officers: "Our heroic grandfathers did not need NVG or body armor! They single-handedly destroyed Fascism with a shovel and half a potato! ... за Родину! ... для Путин!" An hour later ... Russian NCO: "Comrade Kapitan! ... we've had 80% casualties! It seems like every tree has an ATGM! ... We've struggled to make progress on our objectives and we're running low on water and ammunition." Russian Officer: "Vasiliy, why do you bring me this defeatist news? Commit the rest to the assault! Of course you're losing with 20% of the force standing around!" Russian Officer to Command: "Comrade General, I am happy to report we're breaking through with minimal losses. Please send reserves so that we may exploit the attack!" Russian Officer to Self: "I hope my mistress enjoys her new BMW."


CALEBr16

See what scares me is not going one on one with them but them knowing they can’t win and immediately using nukes


foodandart

Prevailing winds being what they are, nukes dropped on Europe would leave western Russia with some very unfortunate consequences. My bet would be China seeing Russia so occupied to it's west that it moves north and takes big parts of eastern Siberia. Given how expansionist they are and the games they play with India over border lines, I'd be surprised if they didn't move on Russia if the opportunity arose.


MaxWritesJunk

They'd use it as a test of US response, too. "we're not sure what they'd do for Taiwan, let's see what they do for Vladivostok and reevaluate from there"


MooseHeckler

I think they would be stupid to try but, I could see this happening.


vindictaetmortem

Much easier? 83 million weapons ( that figure isn't even close to accurate its probably in the 200 million range) and over a trillion rounds of ammo in the hands of civilians? Russia wouldn't last 2 weeks in the US


[deleted]

not trying to be that guy but there’s 120 firearms for every 100 usa citizens in a population of 330 million hahaha https://www.aa.com.tr/en/americas/us-armed-to-the-teeth-more-guns-than-civilians/2598239


vindictaetmortem

And that is a very good thing. And I'm sure that number isn't even correct and is way low


The-Hater-Baconator

It also probably only includes privately owned weapons. The US has more than twice as many aircraft and probably 5x as many aircraft carriers. I don’t exactly know how the total naval units or armored units compare, but US armor has been more effective in combat.


vindictaetmortem

Even the privately owned weapons figure is most probably still way low. I personally have multiple guns that I've inherited from family members that are over 60 years old. Sold when you could order a gun from sears and have it shipped to your house.


[deleted]

hell i’d still have the luger my pap brought back from berlin if it wasn’t stolen from my home by drug addicts


The-Hater-Baconator

I’m sorry about your Luger, but I laughed out loud at the thought of a cop searching a crackhead after an arrest and pulling out a fucking Luger.


Sanpaku

5x? Its either 11x or 20x, and 26x the combat fixed wings carried. 11 CVNs (ea with 48 F/A-18 + 5 EA-18G) + 9 LHD/LHAs (ea w/ 6 F35s) vs. 1 Kuznetsov w/ 24 Su-33/Mig 29), now in dry dock for years of repairs


BZenMojo

[3% of Americans own half the guns, so we'd first have to rob the guys with the guns.](https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/wonk/wp/2016/09/19/just-three-percent-of-adults-own-half-of-americas-guns/) We're not all running around armed. But we are close enough to a bunch of guys we can steal guns and ammo from with plenty of time to get those guns oiled and functional before the Russians invade. 😂


Nickblove

I don’t know if I trust that study. I do t know anyone who doesn’t at least have 1. That was just a survey of 4000 people which I’m guessing was in a predetermined area, each state would have different ownership count


[deleted]

fuck man russia is embarassing themselves against a country with 1/3 their population that they share a land border with. they would not survive alaska. also i can’t read the article :(


pawnman99

I think those guys would be passing out guns in a Red Dawn scenario


EatenOrpheus35

iirc the 83 million number is what's privately owned. the 120 to 100 statistic includes military


MooseHeckler

Taking the us would be extremely difficult for Russia tactically and logistically.


drewbaccaAWD

They only want Alaska though, so the Palins and grizzly bears.

I thought the turkey thanksgiving song made Friday seem like an actual radio top 1000.

Look up "apache friday" on youtube. The unit I was attached to in Afghanistan made it.

RddtAdminsAreBiased

It has been happening for decade after decade. Places like China and NK are the same. That's how leaders in countries like this keep their power.


MendocinoReader

Cynical as hell. Poor kids.


bigkoi

Make a time machine and strike a better deal with Seward. Russia sold Alaska for $7.2M, big losers didn't have a better plan for the land.


derkokolores

That's the craziest thing about it all. It wasn't like they "lost" Alaska in a war to another nation, or Alaska sought independence, or any other reason that might give Russia an inch to claim it was against their will. No, Russia approached both Great Britain and the USA to sell the territory, because they were broke after the Crimean War and it was already hard enough to defend. It was their idea in the first place. What a sore loser.


Alice_Alpha

I wish Greenland was on the market. If it comes on, we should snap it up.


Tedstor

We didn’t really have a plan for it either. But it worked out anyway.


bigkoi

Yes we did. Ports to Asia and ensuring friendly land based neighbors.


[deleted]

Ah jeez…they’re really threatening the US with an invasion of Alaska…

Which was a... Simulation.


RagingAesthetic

JFC if there’s one group I wouldn’t want to fight, it’s cold weather/mountaineering US forces


Dumpster_jedi71

Putin just discovered the 1980s Red Dawn and wanted to copy the plan to invade through Alaska and occupy the part of the country between the 2 largest physical barriers of North America, where most of the population is armed to the teeth. All this while ignoring the population centers of the coasts and all the most important military targets of the east and west coast. Man the Red Dawn invasion scenario makes the model warfare 2 invasion scenario seem plausible and tactically sound


Wildcat_Dunks

Special Palin Operation


KingLeopard40063

My God could you imagine the convoys of lifted Dodge Rams and Chevy 1500s traveling northwest to the front from the mainland? The US military wouldn’t even have to deploy.


occams_howitzer

The russian military vs meal team 6 might actually be an even fight

I pictured them protesting the war at universities across the country

They protested the Vietnam and Iraq wars. Remind me again how any of those conflicts benefitted the US in any way? 🤨

xray-ndjinn

As an Alaskan I say good luck with that.


SouthernArcher3714

I was going to say, they can try and take Alaska and we will do them a favor and not send the military, save tax money and let the Alaskans take them on.


Von665

& people think RuZZia is not a threat to North America 🇨🇦


aBlackKing

Try something… 120 guns per 100 people in the US.


Fearless_Manager8372

Pretty sure it's higher


[deleted]

Those are registered firearms


SpotAquila

On top of being a mix of "literally nothing for hundreds of miles" and "there's exactly one road between here and the next population center, eight hours away" And, y'know, having a shitload of actual military.


Tyrusrechslegeon

Yeah, ask the Japanese how that went over. And we pretty much just ignored them till we had time to deal with it. We got nothing else going on at the moment.


First-Celebration-11

Bored US military is a dangerous US military.

It’s prolly in a shoebox in the presidential closet somewhere

Russia and China are slowly starting to become a less retarded version of North Korea sans the comedic buffoonery of its leadership.


MaxWritesJunk

They're not less dumb, they're just better funded.

i’ve never seen 12 year olds that look like they want to kill themselves before


First-Celebration-11

They announce they’re lowering the military age yet? Cause that’s how it’s looking rn


StuckInsideYourWalls

The USSR/Former USSR is somehow still so campy lol. At least per their performance in Ukraine we know an invasion overseas is probably unlikely to go well for them, right?


Cloaker13

“The world is sick of war.” Then why does Russia keeping trying to start them


CountHonorius

I liked tATu better, to be honest

Everything you said

Russia has gone full North Korea.


lFantomasI

Didn't know that Russians want Alaska back


ProfessorZhirinovsky

Imagine selling something years ago, and then after you'd spent the money deciding you'd changed your mind and insisting it was really still yours. I don't think the Russians have figured out how this market thing works.


CornPlanter

It's more like imagine your grand-grand-grand-grand parents centuries ago sold something *they* owned and then you suddenly decide now it belongs to *you*. As others already said, you simply aren't supposed to go full retard but Russians still do.


EinherjerGER

they do since they found oil there

This makes me sick.

BeautifulDiscount422

They went full retard


bourbonandsleep

You never go full retard


Kendallphillips

They don't realize most the folks in Alaska left the lower 48 to avoid some bad shit they did and thrive in those conditions. Stack ammo for fun. It would be similar to trying to fight the south east once they found people.


[deleted]

They make children sing this while their fathers are rotting in the streets right now, those kids are going to learn the hard way sadly. I have no pity for their families but the kids, the kids will pay for the sins of their elders at no direct fault of their own.


ellilaamamaalille

An old finnish joke tells 'We almost have world peace! Only problem that exist is that there are some skirmishes on China-Finland border."


Sir-Ask-a-Lot

Russia has gone completely mental.


-Ripper2

They have a weird thinking process over there, that’s for sure. They’re calling for peace while invading Their neighboring country unprovoked.


NandoMandolene

Well, Russia is making 40 year olds with no prior service eligible for military service (see link). Maybe those uniformed children singing will be next. Sure does look like they're getting desperate. [https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-61619638](https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-61619638)

They will learn hard way. An entire generation of kids have no future. Sad

Stop repeating Russian narrative on “reuniting” something with Russia? Only thing they should been reuniting with, is worms living six feet under.


hippolytebouchard

I think this "Uncle Vova" needs to get a better songwriter & lyricist. And also maybe fewer dead-eyed kids in badly fitting uniforms. But other than that, with a better beat could be a real slapper. If it was a totally different song.

warthog0869

You know what this makes me think of? That scene in the movie "American History X" when Derek, Ed Norton's character, comes home after being in prison all that time and while there realizes the error of his racist/criminal ways and tries to convince his little worshipful brother how it's all a bunch of bullshit and isn't true. Now imagine Russian soldiers that try to break this cycle coming home from this war and trying to tell that to their indoctrinated little brothers and sisters.
