Offside (General Discussion)

Kyle Campbell4 said:The vast majority who fled were women and children, and my impression is that their numbers are actually quite substantial. On the contrary, I believe the defenders are fueled by a fierce patriotism and national fervor reminiscent of our own veterans from the early 90s—a factor the Russians clearly failed to account for. That is precisely why they have stalled near the major cities. There is also a significant number of civilians who have taken up arms to participate in the defense. If the Russians launch a full-scale assault on Kyiv, it will be a total slaughterhouse. The city has been transformed into a fortress where they will fight for every single street and building. Meanwhile, Mariupol is being crushed daily by whatever means they have at their disposal, yet they cannot break the defenders despite the city being completely surrounded. They will hold out as long as they have ammunition. Just imagine trying to conquer a city like Kyiv. Midget is already counting on Chinese assistance regarding armor and projectiles. They are utterly unprepared for a protracted, bloody war that incurs such massive daily costs.

That’s just how it works. You always fight harder for your own backyard than you ever would for some foreign street.

I mean, does some random Russian soldier actually care about a random street in Kyiv? Not really. Once the fighting starts heading his way, he's either going to surrender or run for it. From what I'm seeing on Reddit and Twitter, that happens all the time. It looks like they've even had to bring in Chechen units to handle the Russians who are trying to retreat.

To be honest, you see plenty of men of military age fleeing too. These situations can spiral out of control incredibly fast and turn into total chaos—it’s a mess when things get that desperate.

There goes the former President on CNN 🤣

Aviation expert.

From the drawing board

Moët & Chandon is pulling their champagne from shelves because it's been contaminated with ecstasy. So far, there’s been one death and seven cases of poisoning reported.

Oof. Good luck to whoever actually grabbed those bottles. They might just strike it rich in a few years—if they don't kick the bucket first. 🎉

You’re trying to separate national identity from hating communism, but you've got it totally wrong. Most of these people are "patriotic" only in terms of their roots, but they're still stuck in a communist headspace. They claim to be against communism because that's what the mainstream narrative demands now, but deep down? Their whole vibe is pure Red.

You have to realize that the right-wingers here would actually support the old ways if it meant staying under the old system.😁

It couldn't be more accurate 👍

They even dragged Nixon and Joe out of retirement... 😂

Joe is a total joke compared to someone at the level of Banožić 😵

After all this nonsense—was it actually 120 kg or just 40 kg of explosives that went off underground?
It feels like the Department of Defense is just guessing at this point—honestly, where do they even find these idiots to back up such theories?
An underground blast involving 120 kg of explosives would have been picked up by a seismograph—not to mention, some part of the local utility infrastructure would probably be trashed.
And then there’s the Governor—still acting like a complete fool, just wearing that uniform to try and make his stupidity look official.
But I suppose spinning windmills and arguing over rainbow flags is easier than paying these clowns—and having to deal with fellow citizens who actually vote for them.

Where did Benny get the idea to go wandering around in a military uniform? He’s a civilian, not a member of the armed forces! 🙄

And just like that, ☕

Zoki on Benny, looking like he just stepped out of a hunting lodge with a jug of moonshine and a camo cap 🤣

Hey, was that noise buzzing around Washington, D.C. just now actually scheduled?

What kind of nonsense are those Frenchmen pulling now?

Here comes another one, or is it just the same old 🙏

What on earth is flying over Washington, D.C. right now?
Those definitely aren't Mig fighters; the engine note is completely different.

Alright, sweet

They probably showed up to collect those 250 pounds of explosives we owe them.
