The first solider aims his weapon, saying: “I have a dream. I want to buy an apartment there. When the war is over and we recapture Kyiv, I will move my family there.”
War? Wasn’t it a special military operation? They forgot to use this language in the ad?
Also, if I want to move somewhere, I look for work there, move there, period.
Only thing keeping Russians from moving to Kyiv is their own government.
If they are upstanding people that can function in a civil society, Ukraine isn’t going to turn them away.
But no, Russians are this weird sort that hate their home, go enjoy being free somewhere else, then aid their home country in turning the place they actually enjoy, into another shithole.
It’s so fucking bizarre.
the ad is so weird. They show the soldiers suffering in the trench, daydreaming and shooting blindly to the other side. Dreaming to get a better place to live, implying that living in their own country sucks. The other soldier dreams of moving to Odessa, the sea is nice. Why not just move to Sochi then, it’s in Russia and it’s the same sea.
Usually the ads for the army (any country) are more like “become an hero, serve your nation, become glory” not “come here to suffer and die hoping for a better future”
Someday I’d like to retire to Spain. Better start working on a casus beli!
Don’t just go, invade!
These tourism board commercials are getting aggressive.
That Iberian clan chief refused to pay tribute to the Republic and sent our envoy’s head to the senate.
Maybe convert to paganism to make it easier!
special military operations dont last 576+ days…
It’s VERY special
A VERY Special Operation for VERY Special People.
Have they been at war for over a year already!? Time flies…!!
recapture
Also, recapture. Of course.
Nono, it’s only an operation against Nazis.
But… They’re there just to free their neighbours from oppressive Nazi leadership and return them to the rule of the people, right? Wasn’t that the whole reason they conducted their special three day military operation?
Right guys?
72 hours no more no less…a few washing machines and toilets too. It’s fine.
So, the take away is Russia is so shitty they’ll fight to get out of it?
Yes
I watched the ad on that Xitter post… is it really real? You can see bullets hit the trench a few cm to his head meaning “you could be dead easily as this” and it ends showing a hanging name tag necklace, like “this is could just be left of you”.
Seems really weird, almost a parody
When you attack a country and want to live there because yours sucks ass in comparison…
But then they find that by occupying that country their new home is no longer any better than their old home, so then they have to attack another country to find a better home.
Ah, Lebensraum (in the west in this case). Something Nazi Germany already sold to their population.
‘Sasha, comrade, I had a dream to take Bachmut and move my family there. That dream is coming true!’
Moves entire family to a bomb-crater.
Into mass grave*
How do you say “Lebensraum” in Russian?
Amazing they’re trying to sell that in one of the most sparsely populated countries in the world.
Accounting for useability it becomes quite different quickly. Most people would take 40 hectars of prime black soil over 5 square kilometres of unuseable swamp.
Also just because Russia is thinly populated doesn’t mean all the good land isn’t already taken (of course it is). The promise of good land to settle on for the survivng soldiers is as old as humans invading other places.
I think the word you’re looking for is “Rossiya” (Россия) /s
But if for real, we don’t have a substitute for the word.
Also expansism isn’t exactly popular, people just don’t care and want to be left alone. Government officials have some really outlandish views, which sometimes leaves you wondering just where in the world could they have heard something like that. Srsly, I’ve never ever heard the words that sometimes come out of their mouths anywhere else. They live in some sort of their own bubble where everybody’s after them and any disobedience is Europe’s commision. Also they treat ex-USSR territories as being unfairly taken from them. It’s nuts.
Lebensraum
Seeing the mobicks turned into ditch meat and so many dead russians that they litter the battlefields, one could almost feel sorry for the average russian enlisted… then you read shit like this and all that goes away.
The world please don’t move to capital we are to many people and to few homes.
Russia we advertise that by invading other countries you can move far away from the capital.
