Exactly, we don't have any information, so why make assumptions?

Or were the sticks used to throw at drones?

"What you never take with a pinch of salt is reports that confirm your bias...and it shows and makes you look like a silly ignorant sycophant."

Insults now, is it?

I have better things to do on a Friday evening so, be seeing you.

That is how your actions make you appear...if you take it as an insult that's on you...I dont make you a hypocrite you do. I have no control over how you act think or respond...I just call it like I see it.

More importantly, when contemplating matters of war, why didn’t he take issue with the stick.

Must be Ukrainian ‘special’ forces.

As an aside a friend growing up had gimpy legs and used crutches. No one called him special within throwing range of those sticks and apparently supporting your body weight with your arms and back your whole life makes you a capital crutch thrower.

I’m sure he would have been just as accurate with a less specialised ‘stick’

Still, that mofo ain’t running 980m/s 🤷🏽‍♂️

Pretty sure they hated the Russian invaders two years ago and they still hate them today. I doubt that changed.

Both faces actually because....assumptions.

– But why don’t you rename anything?!

You do remember the country of Ukraine was created out of peace, right? There were no current issues with Russia outside of some long hate due to what Russia did to the population there back in the 30s, but that aside there was no reason to change things.

Moving forward maybe they will have reason now to pretty much wipe ever bit of Russian stink off the country.

Another use for sticks on the front lines:

OK Comrade, what country do you actually agree with?

You mean a us lead western backed color revolution and coup didn't play into this at all?!?! You can't be serious...meanwhile you think ukraine is capable of wiping anything shows you are either completely ignorant on the subject or you are purposely pushing propaganda for your side.

What do you think honestly...that the guy in your video was issued a rifle and used the stick for that purpose or issued the stick and no rifle and told to obtain a rifle in combat?

However, I can't argue the fact that they will take special needs persons who can function well in certain positions. It's just common sense to me considering their desperation for troops.

There are a vast more jobs in support than actual fighting. What was the guy's job? Maybe his job was as a runner for food etc. People are quick to suggest that is where Ukraine is at in the war, but then that is also suggesting Russia is getting their butts waxed by special needs...lol

How about reports that Russia is going down to age 16 and past 60 along with women and begging China for troops?

Obviously if we are to believe these videos then Ukrainian soldiers do indeed use sticks for different purposes. As for your video with the guy given the stick, he obviously accepted it as something that was needed. What do you think?

How do we know he didn't need the stick to use as a crutch? Are crutches available on the front lines by the paramedics?

And using North Korean munitions.

Who is to say he is even a combat soldier? A ton of support rolls he can do just find.

I don't agree or disagree with either...I dont care. I dont care how many people from corrupt country A dies fighting corrupt country B and vise versa. I do at least try to objectively look at this topic and speak about it objectively...which is probably why I butt heads in these threads...because most of you are rah rahing a side like braindead cheerleaders while a small few people are actually having a reality based conversation.

At the end of the day I see the US a having caused the whole thing trying to nation build and puppet Ukraine's government right on Russia's doorstep. If anyone tried that on the US we would probably do much worse than russia has.

Okay, so if that's true then it shows me which side is more desperate.

Well, I guess if China NK gets involved with troops and equipment then that kind of opens the door on the other side too. Can Putin really handle another 500k loss?
