Fights don't appear so tantalising when you're not terrorising a bunch of brown villagers in a poor country does it? Better be careful, the people you're shooting at aren't cowering eight year old Iraqi children. I hope this foreign legion has an absolutely miserable last days of their lives.
maybe they were selected tweets, but I've read on another msg board all these reactions from these foreign fighters, and they were surprised that they were actually fighting a professional army equipped with high tech weaponry. WTF were they expecting? to be fighting a bunch of farmers with AK47s?
They were expecting to fight a crumbling Russian army full of terrified 18-year-old untrained conscripts while the Ghost of Kyiv shoots down enemy jets as if it was playing Space Invaders, and then after they heroically mowed down fleeing Russians the submissive Ukrainian tradwifes would throw themselves at them while Zelensky himself declares them a hero of Ukraine
According to the 24/7 media feed they are likely to be consuming, unironically yes. They were expecting scared Russian conscripts herded by commissars and battalions worth of tanks abandoned on the side of the road. Again, that is what they actually believe.
