Just realized that the first time the Swarm was on a CoD game was on BO2, which takes place in 2025, lmfao
Million casualties*. Irreplaceable Soviet tech destroyed by the dozens to the tune 40 billion in one day. Years of armored vehicles and artillery being whittled away.
It’s high time zelaney took down Kursk bridge or even took a pot shot at the kremlin. After all, Russia took out Ukraine’s main military HQ at the outset of the war. Turnabout is fair play
Minor correction, it's a million casualties on the Russian side. Dead number is probably around 300k.
But seriously, imagine going from the number 2 world power to a paper tiger that relies on old stock because they don't have the manufacturing capabilities to mass produce new equipment. They can barely keep the old shit running.
They're so desperate they literally buying shit from North Korea at a premium
Good correction thank you.
Let’s also not forget they’re getting drained by China who is getting their petrol so cheap they’re selling it to other countries for a profit.
bro what the hell happened down here 😭😭
Putin apologists. What can ya do?
I mean, its a war. Nobody is playing "fair" and you're delusional if you think they ever were.
But it's crazy to fixate on Russian losses and ignore the devastation rained on Ukrainian territory. Or the enormous debts Zelensky has had to assume in order to continue importing new munitions and mercenaries to fight. We've already seen bombings inside Moscow and assassination attempts (more than a few successful even) against Russian military and state security leadership. But that's not budging the front lines. Neither is it curbing the continuous barrage of artillery and Russian-based retaliatory drone attacks.
This is just the Iraq-Iran War on steroids. Two countries absolutely butchering their youth in a vainglorious attempt to claim hegemony over a minefield.
This is such a gross misrepresentation of my comment and my intent. I’m not really sure why you feel the need to grind this ax but there is no way what I said is actually the cause. My heart goes out to the Ukrainian people. My comment was intended to highlight Russia and talk about how sad it is that this country has become a rogue state with a horrible leader and a population that is not willing to say “no,” to highlight their failures.
I can be sad for both countries btw. Ukraine is obviously the victim here. The Ukrainian people are amazing and have their own rich history and culture as well that deserves to be preserved and respected and cultivated. They do not deserve any of this. But just because I was talking about the impact on Russia does not mean I don’t care about Ukraine. And fuck you for implying otherwise. Next time actually ask me what my thoughts are before projecting your bullshit on me. I do not appreciate your comment at all.
And since apparently you will twist my words let me be unequivocally clear: Talking about one does not mean I don’t care about the other. So again, go fuck yourself.

It's weird to suggest anyone would. But we've been hearing about how "Now is the time for a Ukrainian counterattack!" since 2022. Tens of thousands of Ukrainian conscripts got shoveled into Russian defense lines and butchered by mines and artillery, while Westerners cheered like they were watching some kind of pro-sporting event.
FFS, you can find videos all over the internet of Ukrainians and Russians butchering one another and bragging about it. You can find bespoke influencer news networks bragging about how their team is "Owning" the opposition with grisly reprisals. They're trending all over social media.
Talking about one does not mean I don’t care about the other.
It's just a show for the West. You don't actually give a shit, because you don't see (or care) about the cost anyone is paying.
You will never find anybody as morally reprehensible as Marxists who support and defend Russia's genocide in Ukraine. Go fuck yourself Russian shill
Marxists want the war to end and the working people to stop killing one another to the benefit of their bosses.
Only the imperialists need you to take sides in order to continue the killing.
No, fuck off moron. Russia started this war, they're committing a genocide, and they're 100% responsible for ALL of it. Trying to "both sides" the most obviously one sided conflict in the world by blaming the victims for defending themselves puts you and your shitty ideology in the same tier as nazis, which sounds about right for Marxism. You support and defend Russia's imperialist genocide, you're morally reprehensible.
Trying to “both sides” the most obviously one sided conflict
Same line Americans used in Afghanistan and Iraq. Same line the Israelis are using in Gaza.
The genocidal impulse runs through the West like a plague. All you people know how to do is shoot and cry.
The only difference is that people are actually honest about all of these conflicts. They acknowledge who is a fault and what has actually happened. You lack that honesty, hence why you're using the whataboutism fallacy here to keep dismissing criticism and distracting from the arguments being made instead of addressing them directly. You know you can't defend the evils that Russia is committing on their own merits, and so you resort to fallacies. If you were able to then would've just owned up to the fact that you're piece of shit who supports the evils that Russia is committing, but you're not arguing in good faith.
This entire post is literally about a successful counterattack on Russian soil. One with zero Ukrainian casualties.
What, exactly, do you want from this conversation? People to recognize that Ukrainians are suffering? They do recognize that - that's why they don't want Ukraine to lose.
A defeated Ukraine would suffer far worse than they are now, as retribution for defending themselves and embarassing Russia in the process. Ukrainians would inevitably be conscripted to fight in Russia's next attempt at conquest anyway.
Dude I am just teasing out exciting (well as exciting as war can be, which is horrific) scenarios, not drawing up fucking battle plans and speaking with Zelenskyy personally. Back off.
Imagine if somebody said “they should wipe out half their bomber fleet in one fell swoop,“ I bet you would’ve been a shithead about that too.Well look, they just did it to 40% of them in one day. None of us are experts, and that includes you. So shouting me down for talking about how dumb Russia has been about all this and throwing out totally theoretical scenarios for fun Isn’t helping anybody. I don’t even know what you want from all of this. What do you want? More solemnity? Do you want us to not cheer for Ukraine? I mean what the hell is your goal? We’re just a bunch of assholes on a website shooting the shit.
If you were to apply this same logic during various points during the world wars, you'd have been calling for the allies to surrender.
Imagine if people had listened at the start of WW1 and stopped the fighting before Germany, Russia, and France were in trench warfare melee.
How awful would that have been? What would a world without The Battle For The Somme even look like today? Presumably much worse.
This is just the Iraq-Iran War on steroids. Two countries absolutely butchering their youth in a vainglorious attempt to claim hegemony over a minefield.
What are you even talking about?
There are no "two countries butchering". There is no symmetry.
There is a bandit state which invaded their neighbour (like many other neighbours they invaded before) and are murdering civilians, commiting war crimes and kidnapping children.
Pre-shellshocked?
My idea was to show that because said Russian soldier probably played Black Ops 2 (or even the 2023 Modern Warfare III) and saw a Swarm scorestreak on that game, he'd have instant flashbacks triggered by seeing the drone swarm lol
