    Obligatory US troop copypasta


    You see american choppers in the bright blue sky, hundreds and hundreds of screaming american soldiers drop from it, you look across the field and see the tanks rolling in. You hear a loud explosion and realise that the shrine you have protected for thousands of years with tooth and nail is destroyed by the empire, you come to the realisation that this is very probably the end of your people who’ve struggled to survive all these centuries.You realise that very soon there is going to be a river of blood of your people here; white phosphorus and depleted uranium will be shot very soon, deforming babies for decades to come, and millions of your people are gonna be killed. Your millennia old language and religion will be wiped out, you’re very likely the last of your kind.

    Suddenly, an American soldier kicks you down, puts his foot on your neck and aims his standard ar-15 on the side of your head all while screaming; you realise you’re gonna die, and you won’t have to see the destruction of your community that you fostered so carefully all these centuries for.

    Just before he pulls the trigger, you think to yourself, “To be fair to him, he probably had a low GPA in highschool and didnt have a health-care, those are notoriously hard to get in America”.

    Honestly, most good (Anti) War Movies i know are set in Vietnam.

    When i think of movies in the middle east, it´s US Slopaganda like Jarhead, Blackhawk Down and American Sniper

          Y’all are always going on and on about Russian bots but you can’t read Russia in any context for any reason without dusting off the canned hate

            I’m Finnish. Might know a thing or two about what they’re up to both short and long term.

            I might even read passable russian since it’s something that’s pretty important in the area I live in, about an hour from the border.

            My grandfather was 'naded in the continuation war too, but please do continue to act like you’re the expert here.

              I wouldn’t go bragging about my Nazi ancestors as proof of my bloodline being impervious to propaganda but then again I’m not a w*sterner

                That same grandfather fought on the red side of our civil war. You’re writing about things you know fuck all about. Russia attacked us, we struck them back worse. Twice. Then we fought the Germans right after that for good measure, and kicked those out too.

                Westerner or not at least get your fuckin facts straight before spouting off.
