He will be called a "foreign agent", poor guy. And anybody showing up to the protest too.

Let's see what happens though. Maybe there'll actually be footage.

[–] harcesz@szmer.info 7 points 1 week ago

Well Russians used to have a bit of a think for laud reactions to lost wars, so you can't fully rule it out...

[–] lurch@sh.itjust.works 6 points 1 week ago

yeah, it's way too late to just protest. they'll just end up in the gulag. at this time, it would be better to form resistance cells.

[–] lokalhorst@feddit.org 53 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Did he just discredit the Russian army? Straight to jail

[–] sexy_peach@feddit.org 33 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Jail? He will be forced to carry the magazine for the rifle his buddy is holding while they're walking to the next set of coordinates...

[–] OwOarchist@pawb.social 10 points 1 week ago

Now, now. That's exaggerating things.

They'll at least give him an old, rusty Mosin Nagant. It might even come with some ammo!

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 2 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

a window, some poisoned underpants, boat, or an airplane.

[–] Lushed_Lungfish@lemmy.ca 50 points 1 week ago

You stupid dumbfucks started a war against someone that was willing to fight back, that's what.

[–] sexy_peach@feddit.org 38 points 1 week ago (1 children)

You're fighting an unjust war and you're losing, the worst combination

[–] OwOarchist@pawb.social 11 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

Not that I have much room to talk, given that I'm in the US right now ... but it least it looks like the US's latest unjust and losing war is ending a lot sooner.

If only Putin could be as smart as Trump: give Ukraine $300 billion, go back to the way things were before the war started, declare 'victory', and then get the fuck out.

[–] RiceMunk@sopuli.xyz 12 points 1 week ago (1 children)

The time for miracles is not over: Never thought I'd heard someone say "as smart as Trump" in implying that Trump is smarter than someone.

[–] OwOarchist@pawb.social 2 points 1 week ago

Never thought I'd be saying it. And yet, there it is.

At least Trump knows how to get out of a dumb, discretionary war he's losing instead of infinitely doubling down on it.

[–] HrMoon@lemmy.world 26 points 1 week ago

4 years being lied to now faces reality. Russians with knowledge have been warning about this moment, but kremlins lies and ignorance is biting back. They are at the finding out moment now, and it won’t get better for the regime. it’s just the beginning

[–] zergtoshi@lemmy.world 19 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I'm glad there aren't (m)any tanks left to run over protesters.
...if only that kind of motivation would've been widespread when the pain was only on Ukrainian soil...

[–] chocrates@piefed.world 2 points 1 week ago

They just reported that they have a way to refurbish old Soviet tanks previously deemed unsalvageable, so they potentially have about 1k more.

[–] ladicius@lemmy.world 19 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Blame it on the MoD instead of their psychopath FΓΌhrer who started it all?

The finger pointing has started.

[–] Diplomjodler3@lemmy.world 18 points 1 week ago

It's called payback, buddy.

[–] hanrahan@slrpnk.net 16 points 1 week ago (1 children)

is this serious ? u fuckers started a war years ago, may your shitty nation burn

Yeah but... The war was only supposed to affect the other side. And maybe some peasants from outside Moscow.

[–] sexy_peach@feddit.org 15 points 1 week ago (1 children)

But now that I've seen the video, kudos to the guy. Takes courage to be one of the very few dissenting voices!!

[–] harcesz@szmer.info 11 points 1 week ago (1 children)

You do know he might just as well be a hyper-nationalist war supporter, which is the concessioned opposition?

[–] Mika@piefed.ca 4 points 1 week ago (1 children)

He most likely is. Look at the end of this video - he says that if we won't have the country, the HOMELAND, we are doomed.

So he basically means "why are they fighting so bad, must be a conspiracy".

[–] carmo55@lemmy.zip 1 points 1 week ago

Yes, he's clearly not against the war but against the losing of the war.

[–] FatherPeanut@pawb.social 14 points 1 week ago

Let's hope this guy stays away from any open windows.

[–] DungeonTreasureHunt@piefed.social 12 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Their only option left is to surrender and become part of the NATO. Russia lost more people in this war than the US in Vietnam. They will never recover from that.

[–] SaveTheTuaHawk@lemmy.ca 6 points 1 week ago (1 children)

What did the US learn from Vietnam...other than how to chronically lose wars?

"Lose" is relative. Taxpayers lose, soldiers lose, civilians lose, but the MIC always wins.

[–] Kalothar@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

The weapons companies continue to win though

[–] Sunshine@piefed.ca 9 points 1 week ago

Well said the Russian people need stand against the corrupt Kremlin politicians.

What's Russian for "you chumps are losing, that's what's going on."
