I know that America would send troops and help. And so do most people, I'm just saying there still might be a bit of nervousness. among eastern europe. We know that the situation in the modern day is diffrent from what happened after ww2. But still it is remembered and subconsciously there might be doubt.

Not really.
Again, the simple fact we are welcomed and they love to work with us says enough.
I know people who went to Poland. They are loved or indifferent of US there. They are ready.

Hell, we have 101st in Romania... 1CD in Poland.

Of course we are liked because they want us there, we haven't oppressed them like Russia. But there is always a bit of fear well what if a conflict happens and America decides it's not worth risking New York in exchange for Bucharest, or Warsaw. America most likely will honor it's commitment probably a 95% chance it will but there is that 5% chance it won't that gives doubt.

New York will always be a target no matter what.
Because eventually we will get invovled in a co flict in Europe. So take us out would be thier best bet

In the last 30 years I have seen a lot of propaganda cringe, but this one takes the cake. With billions they spend on propaganda you would think they could find someone half decent to handle their social media, instead of braindead intern with gender studies diploma, whose understanding of the term epic is the movies he saw on netflix in the last week or two.

 

[Zachowon]

When even NCD is calling out the cringe and basically every human om both sides is face slapping.

This gives off "Hello, fellow kids" energy

 

[Lord Sovereign]

It’s rather daft, isn’t it?

I personally find the whole “our lives for Holy Ukraine“ thing to be a bit more compelling than “we’re all Gryffindors, yayyyyyyyy!!!!”

Yeah....someone or several need to get fired for something this cringe inducing.

Seconded.

The first tweet was great, the follow on was definitely cringe and 'hello fellow kids' energy is way that feels like it undoes the great message of the first tweet.

Can NATO just officiall hand over PR work to NAFO, they do a less cringe job most of the time.

 

[Carrot of Truth]

I think I just had a near death experience from the cringe overload caused by that post.

Ukrainian time the war has been going on for a year

 

[Husky_Khan]

Hard to believe it's already been a year...

 

[Husky_Khan]

Apparently more than a few popular accounts on Twitter have decided to go with the talking point that there is a Fake War in Ukraine due to lack of reporting, journalists present, war footage and so forth. 🤷‍♀️

 

[Captain X]

Wow, are they nucking futs? Plus, there actually have been plenty of pictures and videos from the troops themselves, as well as from some foreign journalists even very early on in this invasion. I specifically remember a British group getting shot at and being forced to abandon the car they were in to hoof it on foot.

 

[Zachowon]

CNN was in Hostimal when the VDV landed and were recording them.

 

[Jormungandr]

"The War is fake news!"

These people are fucking idiots on par with Flat Earthers and anti-vaxxers believing (non-Pfizer COVID) vaccines cause autism and poisonings. smh

 

[Husky_Khan]

Putin still has domestic support according to the polls, but that don't mean they will hang around in a freezing stadium if the freebies run out.



Apparently closing the stadium doors was only a temporary solution.

 

[Lord Sovereign]

Sometimes I wonder if Russians are a touch like East Asians. Don’t go against the state, keep your head down, but they are capable of breathtaking levels of passive aggressiveness and malicious compliance.

Would that be right?

These people are either willingly ignorant, or complete fools, if they think the whole war has been 'faked'.

Like, that's a whole new level of detachment from reality.

Pretty much, they had the Tsars followed by the communists their whole attitude has always been keep your head down and do not get noticed like typical peasants.

That Putin's becoming so desperate that he needs to literally give away free food and tea to drum up "support" is telling in itself. This isn't even bread and circuses at this point.
