In the wise words of Joe Biden: "Joe Biden is a rabid dog, he should be beaten to death with a stick"

My friend, we have a broken emoji

Why do we have a Guns Akimbo emoji when I am 99% sure I made that movie during a drug fueled rampage?

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=2004_Fallujah_ambush&diffonly=true

The four armed contractors, Scott Helvenston, Jerry Zovko, Wesley Batalona, and Mike Teague, were killed and dragged from their vehicles. Their bodies were beaten and burned, with their charred corpses then dragged through the city streets before being hanged over a bridge crossing the Euphrates River.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 3 months ago (1 children)

The ambush led to the First Battle of Fallujah, a U.S.-led operation to retake control of the city. However, the battle was halted mid-way for political reasons, an outcome which commentators have described as insurgent victory.

"Desecration of corpses..." waow-based

i wish those contractors a very geotagged social media post

[–] [email protected] 46 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago) (3 children)

No way there isn't already US mercs there. I assume this means they're looking at starting a massive slushfund for much larger numbers.

[–] [email protected] 28 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Exactly! That is who most of the so-called "volunteers" actually are. And there are certain US-supplied weapons systems that Ukrainian conscripts have zero ability to operate in the first place (like Patriots and probably even HIMARS launchers). So when Russian forces blow them up (which they do), we can be fairly certain that US (or other NATO) "contractors" are getting killed (which they are).

Wasn't there a polish general who got killed in ukraine?

[–] [email protected] 8 points 3 months ago

Brigadier general Adam Marczak. Polish govt and media deny it vehemently, official version is that he died from unspecified natural causes in Belgium and he was barely 52 without any mentions of health problems anywhere. He just completely coincidentally suddenly died in the same day Russia did a major attack on a mercenary base.

[–] [email protected] 21 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Of course there is, this is just a way to pay for them without any middle men

[–] [email protected] 12 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago) (1 children)

And potentially offer mercs with larger, more advanced hardware that couldnt remain under the radar. Academi has been building a private airforce for example.

[–] [email protected] 21 points 3 months ago

that's my reading as well

[–] [email protected] 44 points 3 months ago

If news like these come out its because everything is already settled. Fuck the imperialists

[–] [email protected] 43 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Good thing ~~Blackwater~~ ~~Xe~~ Academi are just military contractors. Imagine if we deployed mercenaries like Wagner.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 3 months ago

Our respectable military contractors vs their despicable mercenary band

war is a racket, after all.

Biden was the accelerationist candidate all along.

Oh boy expect a human trafficking story to come out of Ukraine in a few years.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Ukraine has been bad like that for a while, hasn't it?

[–] [email protected] 17 points 3 months ago (1 children)

yes, before the invasion ukraine was the human trafficking capitol of europe and there is a nice big un report on it somewhere if you google around

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago

I thought the human trafficking Capitol if Europe was where Andrew tate went

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 months ago

There are human trafficking stories with a lot of Ukrainian victims ever since 1991, with intensifications curiously in the years of US meddling and shock therapies.

[–] [email protected] 24 points 3 months ago

Yesss dude, fuck yeah, send in some Americans to the meat grinder! lets-fucking-go

[–] [email protected] 22 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago) (2 children)

Since this war keeps escalating there'll come a point where NATO will conscript europeans and throw their bodies into the meat grinder

Ukrainian van videos, frogs and krauts edition when?

[–] [email protected] 16 points 3 months ago (1 children)

That could be the point where pro US regimes start falling across Europe. We're already in the early stages of that happening now. Boots on the ground will kick that into overdrive.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 3 months ago (1 children)

The problem is falling and being replaced with what? Seems to be few leftist alternatives and the right is all blood and soil Nazis who'll eventually fall in line with America anyway.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 months ago

The fact that European left shat the bed by aligning with bloodthirsty libs is definitely a problem going forward. However, it does look like a lot of people in Europe are starting to recognize that US cynically used them in their proxy war, and I don't think things can ever go back to business as usual after the war ends. The economic damage is just too great.

Figured this was coming eventually. It's already so far gone, idk what they think they'll change now
