I promise that Russia will lose the war tomorrow.
Exactly 24hrs later. You were right! Can I have next week’s lottery numbers, please?
I’m from the future, can confirm they lost.
We’re talking about The China Bad Times Expanded Universe canon right?
I have it on good authority that they spent their last bit of ammo destroying the Challenger.
The sad thing is all these whiplash fast reversals of propaganda still have no meaningful impact on the western propagandized mind. They don’t notice despite being months apart, the contradictions never reach them. They just go from one thing to the next, from smirking to seething without beginning to question whether hmm maybe the media is lying to them. It’s just incredible. Because it used to be a process that took years from falsehood to truth reveal. Incredible and incredibly saddening too.
I’m still moderately hopeful that when reality really hits it’ll be soon enough that the bubble will pop for some people, at least momentarily. I think a decent comparison is the Afghanistan withdrawal and immediate collapse of the U.S. puppet government, but one big difference is Afghanistan had been on the media’s back burner for years at that point.
Aren’t they still pretending the Afghanistan withdrawal was organised (or the fault of Trump)? Plus I vaguely recall the libs coping for a while by wanking the ousted president’s son (?) who was supposedly leading some militia?
What’s particularly funny here is that this is literally the first recorded instance of a challenger in action. The very first tank that crawled out of hiding got immediately taken out. 😂
In action in Ukraine or worldwide? Asking because I’m pretty sure there were videos circulating of a Challenger being hit twice allegedly by an RPG-7. Which was usually cited if the tank’s professed invincibility was brought to question
Challenger 2 is the worst western tank.
The Abrams is probably giving that a run for their money, what with requiring a constant supply of jet fuel to even idle (since jet turbines can’t idle) and a heat signature visible from low orbit.
Definitely worth it poisoning the breadbasket of Europe with depleted uranium so that this wonderwaffle of a tank can have ammo.
I wish every slavaboo a very pleasant death by liquid nitrogen
British-made tanks are about to sweep Putin’s conscripts aside
Yay, our war machines will kill more people. But we’ll call them “Putin’s conscripts”, as if they are inanimate units controlled by the evil Putin personally, and not real people.
“NPC” rhetoric and its consequences.

You can’t. Those are specially crafted arcane showels from top secret Soviet closed cities. They’re forged from pure Stalinium, tempered with atomic bombs and quenched with the blood of Ukrainian peasants. Even Russia doesn’t have an unlimited supply of them, so only one in each three soldiers gets the shovel!
some impressive brain rot in that thread, here’s another banger thread https://lemmy.ml/post/4384049
I see world news on lemmy.ml is indistinguishable from reddit now
Yeah, unless something make to the top feed on hexbear and they join, it’s cesspool identical to r/worldnews
I got front row seats at watching that community just degrade into full reddit lib territory. I remember when I first joined lemmy, and if I said I was a socialist over there it was taken mostly in stride. Now it’s just reddit.
For a period of time I kept a secondary lemmy account on .ml , mostly for posting on things we were defederated from, but I have more or less abandoned that account. It was bad for my blood pressure.
One of the top comments is talking about how much corruption there must be in the Russian military to waste so much of their budget.
They must think the entirety of the US military budget is used for exactly the things it is earmarked for.
Oh hey, I was just wondering about those the other day! We’ve seen Leo’s getting blown, but not these.
But don’t worry, they’ll just move the goalposts, as always. “Never been destroyed by enemy fire!” This happens “Akschually this was artillery, we meant never been destroyed by enemy tank fire!” Five minutes later “Yeah well at least it can shrug off RPGs!” Five minutes later “Yeah well at least the crew survived so take that, tankie! I’m not owned! I’m not owned!!!111”
Or, you know, just pretend it didn’t happen.
Today the Challenger, tomorrow the F16.
Assuming F16s ever make it there.
If they make it there and they have an airfield functional enough that they are able to deploy it from.
