    This strikes me as mean spirited and targeted at the wrong people. Like, Zelensky, Putin, than Azov battalion are fair to joke about, but this feels like crossing a line.

      I mean yeah, some of these people are going to be idealistic dupes who got swept up in war fervor.

      On the other hand, it’s not like they ended up there by accident or didn’t have time to do some research between buying an international plane ticket and traveling through multiple countries.

      They fucked around, and yesterday they found out.

      targeted at the wrong people

      spec ops idiots thinking this was going to be like that one time they blew up a wedding in Afghanistan

      Edit: also all the fascist Redditors hoping to help out their Azov heroes. The only ones in the bunch worth feeling bad for even a bit are the handful of idiots taken for a ride by the propaganda storm, and even then, they signed up for war.

          There’s some :chefs-kiss: reddit posts in those threads from these clowns crying about not being on the side with air superiority, technical advantage, a full modern military, etc. and expecting that they were gonna go to Ukraine basically as advisers, patrolmen, run recon missions, etc, not be missile fodder. Like they thought it was gonna be like an American in Afghanistan!
