Just realized that the first time the Swarm was on a CoD game was on BO2, which takes place in 2025, lmfao

It's weird to suggest anyone would. But we've been hearing about how "Now is the time for a Ukrainian counterattack!" since 2022. Tens of thousands of Ukrainian conscripts got shoveled into Russian defense lines and butchered by mines and artillery, while Westerners cheered like they were watching some kind of pro-sporting event.
FFS, you can find videos all over the internet of Ukrainians and Russians butchering one another and bragging about it. You can find bespoke influencer news networks bragging about how their team is "Owning" the opposition with grisly reprisals. They're trending all over social media.
It's just a show for the West. You don't actually give a shit, because you don't see (or care) about the cost anyone is paying.
You will never find anybody as morally reprehensible as Marxists who support and defend Russia's genocide in Ukraine. Go fuck yourself Russian shill
Marxists want the war to end and the working people to stop killing one another to the benefit of their bosses.
Only the imperialists need you to take sides in order to continue the killing.
No, fuck off moron. Russia started this war, they're committing a genocide, and they're 100% responsible for ALL of it. Trying to "both sides" the most obviously one sided conflict in the world by blaming the victims for defending themselves puts you and your shitty ideology in the same tier as nazis, which sounds about right for Marxism. You support and defend Russia's imperialist genocide, you're morally reprehensible.
Same line Americans used in Afghanistan and Iraq. Same line the Israelis are using in Gaza.
The genocidal impulse runs through the West like a plague. All you people know how to do is shoot and cry.
The only difference is that people are actually honest about all of these conflicts. They acknowledge who is a fault and what has actually happened. You lack that honesty, hence why you're using the whataboutism fallacy here to keep dismissing criticism and distracting from the arguments being made instead of addressing them directly. You know you can't defend the evils that Russia is committing on their own merits, and so you resort to fallacies. If you were able to then would've just owned up to the fact that you're piece of shit who supports the evils that Russia is committing, but you're not arguing in good faith.
This entire post is literally about a successful counterattack on Russian soil. One with zero Ukrainian casualties.
What, exactly, do you want from this conversation? People to recognize that Ukrainians are suffering? They do recognize that - that's why they don't want Ukraine to lose.
A defeated Ukraine would suffer far worse than they are now, as retribution for defending themselves and embarassing Russia in the process. Ukrainians would inevitably be conscripted to fight in Russia's next attempt at conquest anyway.
Zero reported casualties. And then nobody wants to talk about retaliation as a consequence.
"Things will be worse once the bombs stop falling" is pure war propaganda.
Lol what unreported casualties do you imagine there could even be? The drone operators developing carpal tunnel? If they had identified Ukrainians smuggling weapons platforms into the country, the whole operation would have failed.
Right, because Russia hasn't been trying until now? They haven't really tried to crush Ukraine, they've just been playing around? But now that Ukraine has bloodied their nose, boy are they sure gonna find out what Russia's capable of. Lol.
No, "things will be worse when a nation is conquered by a hostile dictatorship" is not propaganda. Ukraine knows that for a fact, because they've been through this before.
Seriously, what do you even want here? What is the point of this? You want capitulation and appeasement?
What is it with the 101st Chairborn and their need to make light of human casualties?
Intelligence on the ground, particularly spotters near the target, would be the most obvious potential liabilities.
They've been bloodying one another for years on end. This isn't the first successfully Ukrainian strike since the war started.
To quite treating this bloodbath as a fucking football game.
I'm not making light of casualties, I'm making light of the baseless claim that there even could be casualties, because I reiterate:
You think if they found spotters deep in Russian territory near their nuclear bombers the operation would have succeeded?
So, you're not gonna defend the claim that we should worry about retaliation? Going to pretend that Russia will do anything it wasn't already trying to do, and just move the conversation elsewhere? This is so incredibly bad faith.
Congratulations, it's not working. You just sound like a cheerleader yourself.
Don’t bother engaging him. He accidentally let his mask slip in another thread. He’s a Putin apologist trying to “both sides“ the conflict.
The cavalier attitude towards death is symptomatic of a deep online mental illness.
Dude I am just teasing out exciting (well as exciting as war can be, which is horrific) scenarios, not drawing up fucking battle plans and speaking with Zelenskyy personally. Back off.
Imagine if somebody said “they should wipe out half their bomber fleet in one fell swoop,“ I bet you would’ve been a shithead about that too.Well look, they just did it to 40% of them in one day. None of us are experts, and that includes you. So shouting me down for talking about how dumb Russia has been about all this and throwing out totally theoretical scenarios for fun Isn’t helping anybody. I don’t even know what you want from all of this. What do you want? More solemnity? Do you want us to not cheer for Ukraine? I mean what the hell is your goal? We’re just a bunch of assholes on a website shooting the shit.
I wish people were more willing to confront the horror and less eager to speculate on the excitement.
Instead, we just see bloodlust. People online clutching their keyboards in rapt anticipation of the next bombing or shelling or assassination, like this isn't costing uncounted civilian lives to put points on the board.
To get people to see this as an ongoing disaster, tragedy, and fundamental political failure, rather than some kind of CoD Twitch Stream epic playthrough.
I want you to take a second and look at the post that we are commenting on right now and remind you that we are on a community called “shitpost.”
Edit: I am fully aware of how horrific the situation is for Ukraine and Russia alike. I’m sorry you don’t believe me. But I am also going to cheer when they pull off successful operations and advance their cause. I want Ukraine to survive. I want Ukraine to thrive after this war. I will not apologize for cheering when they pull off impressive operations. That does not preclude my acknowledging the horrors of war. Now kindly leave me alone.
That doesn't make the post good. It's ghoulish.
^this dude is a Putin apologist masking as someone who gives a shit.
I’m sorry you feel that way
