Ah ye,s the Russians, famously unprepared for… checks notes …Winter! Yes, this makes sense!
Yes, it will go terribly for Russia, the country which notoriously lost every time they fought in winter.
Was gonna say ah yes the Russian army, famously I’ll equipped for winter defenses.
Ukraine already complaining that Russia is cheating by using at Mines on their tanks, I’m sure covering them in snow will make it easier.
Russians are getting… whatever they get, so they’ll probably freeze
YES, Russia, fucking RUSSIA, the fucking BIG BEAR, THE FUCKING COUNTRY WHERE THE MOST COLD CITY IS, DOESN’T HAVE EQUIPMENT FOR THE WINTER
LIKE, they even remember that the war already passed a winter?
I was under the impression that libs thought history started in February 2022, but it turns out they seem to think that it started sometime in the last 3-4 months.
Best as I can tell, Liberal history began when they last swam past that tiny castle in their bowl.
This is
slander
It’s radical Last-Thursdayism
Just one more winter offensive bro. Believe me, we can invade Russia. It’ll turn out totally different this time. C’mon bro.
But this time we have (technology gimmick)!
Well unlike most other gimmicks yanks wank, night vision devices (i.e. thermals) are actually quite useful. Thing is, Russian forces have them. Both in personal variety and on tech (such as drones)
That’s just it: the assumption that so many smug wine cave warriors have is that every battle involves unquestioned technological superiority as a given, with no countermeasures possible except maybe “those damn rules of engagement” which they can blame for setbacks.
What rules of engagement? Yankee forces routinely bomb civilians. Although I suppose wine cave bastards ignore that
Ukraine forces literally used Ukraine citizens as hostages and shields during the first few months, keeping them locked in basements under their fortifications and not letting them leave on the Russian free passage routes

eye witness accounts
Russia had an agreement where they had daily ceasefires and a safe evacuation route, and they held it open for weeks and nobody went down them. Ukraine forbade civilians from evacuating and escaping, and then whined and complained about civilians being attacks when Russia sieged mariupol
hitler at kursk:
I wonder what war looks like in their heads. Is it a fps shooter? A HOI campaign perhaps? Do they seriously believe soldiers just charge at each other?
As low as the bar is, I feel like a HOI campaign is actually a step beyond their strategy at this point.
It may be related to what space exploration looks like in their heads.
A vehicle lands on a desolate planet, serenaded by LE EPIC HANS ZIMMER music, and amid the BWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAM, humans transcend and become godlike and win the science victory. Roll credits.
In this particular case I’d say FPS or TPS. You can guess HOI foos by their fart-sniffing “strategic analysis”
It looks like the Americans from any Hollywood war movie fighting the Soviets from Enemy at the Gates.
It’s a fucking game of Advance Wars to them.
As someone who occasionally plays Advance Wars competitively, anyone who’s played a map with snow knows how much it stops offensives. These people are below a children’s strategy game at this point.
EDIT: These people don’t even know that Putin will just activate his CO power and make all the Ukranian units lose 2 hp and lose half their movement due to the snow.
Yeah… I really should try getting into Advance Wars more, it’s a fun game but I have issues with abandoning games…
What happened to the Predator anyways?
Dunno, went to the farm upstate and never was heard from again.
Cuz if there’s one thing Russians can’t handle, it’s cold and snow.
Like how Middle-Easterners can’t handle heat.
Winter offensive is very likely because the Grande Armée is getting French winter gear and Russians are getting… whatever they get, so they’ll probably freeze.
alright am I crazy or is this not the exact same thing these people were saying last year as winter was approaching?
They forgot to update the bots, they are stuck in a loop
Hey, that’s not fair to bots. That level of stupidity is reserved for humans.
That’s what’s also confusing me. Like, we’ve already gone through winter of this war so what makes this year different? The Russians survived then and will do the same now so I don’t know what they’re blabbing about.
Most liberals believe history began in 2022. This one happens to be an advanced liberal who believes history started in the summer of 2023
Didn’t Russia literally take Bakhmut over the winter?
A brief search shows that they seized control in May, so technically spring unless they still get snow during that time.
Sure, but their offensives and encirclement happened mostly in Jan/Feb/Mar.
Clearing the city took until May, though.
Setting aside the question of winter gear (as comrades have already highlighted it), and even setting aside the murderous masturbatory fantasy of war-as-videogame (what they describe is essentially CoD or Ghost Recon kind of game, with gigachad protagonist having hilarious over the top advantage over poorly programmed NPCs).
I want to focus a little on the example chosen for comparison - Predator movie. Because it is a very peculiar choice. What do we see in the movie? First we see a team of these stereotypical Hollywood gigachad “operators” tear through a gang of Hollywood “rebels” in an absurdly one-sided tussle. Can’t even call it a skirmish. The yanks have better gear, better physique, better everything, exactly as what the idiot in the image imagines yankee troops to be. And then the alien turns it upside down on them, by having better physique, better tech, etc. And it’s once again not a battle, nor a fight, the alien is just hiding in the trees like a rat to occasionally pop a yank with that absurd gun of his. While invisible. And when Arnie accidentally circumvents the predator’s tech - it screeches in impotent rage and fires blindly into the jungle, because its FPS sim got disturbed. Just as the yanks were firing blindly into the jungle earlier, for the same reason.
So what’s the point of this rant? Well, I almost want to see those “SOF teams” try to pull their yankee shit, only to discover what “artillery barrage” means and what “peer equipment” means. But of course, useless removed-s like in the op image won’t get the message and will simply continue writing similar masturbatory fanfics.
Seriously. I recently read a paper somebody linked here which went over Russian artillery doctrine. Long and the short is that the Russians can get effective artillery fires on a target inside of three minutes under optimal conditions, particularly when using UAVs for spotting. They’ve also gotten into the habit of attaching mortars to infantry units and forming them up into mortar teams ad hoc, giving such units some quite potent local indirect fire support.
Ignoring the stupid and outright murderously insane shit in that post…
Are they not aware that Ukrainian men were also conscripted? Ukraine quite literally locked down the borders and wouldn’t let men out and said “go protect the homeland!”
I understand the conscripts thing is meant to he demoralizing or whatever like “you don’t even want this war! Give up!” but that fails when your own country is also conscripting and begging for people from around the world to come help fight Russia. This wasn’t exactly kept a secret either, so it’s just weird seeing it used in this way.
Fascist blocking squads were quite violent with those they deemed cowards trying to desert…
At least Russians who were drafted actually have a sane chance of survival…getting “drafted” by Ukronazis is a death sentence…
“ill equipped conscripts”, these clowns do not know the difference between reservists and conscripts. Bless those dumb mfs.
In this war only one side has military “recruiters” press-ganging men off the street at gun point, and it isn’t the Russians.
Why wouldn’t the Russians be prepared? Look at where they live, do they not think Russian soldiers are prepared for fucking winter?
Nope. Every winter all Russians die. Every spring saruman makes new Russians out of dirt and coal.
Yea think Russia is a tropical climate or something 😅.
Its just usual armchair general discourse, they think they are big brain because they think about the weather.
It just baffles me because isn’t Russia kind of well known for its brutal winters?
Well, it depends where in the country (it’s big), but generally yeah their summers are milder than say western Europe and winters colder, it’s only starting in Ukraine that winters start to get warmer.
It would be unwise to assume these fanboys know any of history.
Positing that bad terrain, darkness and harsh climate will somehow help the people trying to push forward is incredible.
But what if the people pushing forward possess artifacts made with Aryan bazinga magic?
I can picture it now:
EUROPEANS
tired of being cold this winter because the US turned off your gas supply?
fight in Ukraine where the fire is always on and fresh warming mead flows all night long.
