    Reading both of their comments, there is clearly something wrong with jehandesains8674. They’re just regurgitating the same NAFO talking points: Russia bad/Ukraine good, Russia has lost almost everything while Ukraine is still holding strong, Russia would be beat instantly when NATO steps in. Something something Second rate army is able to defeat big bad Russia or whatever.

      I wouldn’t even call AFU a “second rate army”, after 8 years of civil war and being armed and trained by NATO they were certainly in the first ten globally.

        Right, but for some reason I’ve seen people who supposedly support Ukraine call their military “second rate,” that’s why I said that. I’m quoting them. Why do they put down an army they love? I have no clue. Maybe it’s to cope…

          Well if an army is getting armed and trained by NATO but still lost to opponent that they are absolutely convinced to be inferior, something must be not quite right. Therefore the “asiatic horde human waves” are invented, but this can’t be the only reason, since all the NATO training and weapons are precisely made for that, as all western war movies taught them. So of course it’s the fault of the “subhuman Slavs” who simply cannot understand how to use them.

          I would say it is something of a cope, yes. Because they need to maintain the media programming - the claims of their own superiority. Otherwise they would have to admit being same proles as the rest of us, getting robbed blind of our future by the ruling class. Modern day Sarmatism, now with class denial.

        also afu is a continuator of the red army, was i guess since they decided to shit on ukranian red army soldiers that die fighting against fascim.

        idk military strategy and similar to explain why they got so apart, even tho they received a lot of weapons, training from the west, summing with what they already had from soviet union, still no match for russia.
