Two Volga-Germans were arrested on terrorism charges, because they wanted to attack the Grafenwöhr Training Area. Those useless bastards are licking Vlad's ball sweat living in a 1st class country can shove off to Mother Fucking Russia.

Speaking exclusively to Euronews in September, Estonia's foreign minister Margus Tsahkna warned of Moscow sending migrants across their 300km long border as a form of hybrid attack.

Incoming hurt tankie feelings…

[–] [email protected] 0 points 5 months ago

The whole basis of NATO's alarm here is actually hurt feelings, look at what 'hybrid activity' consists of? We literally played "made you look" with a terror alert that expired weeks before the Ukraine-linked Crocus Hall attack, then tried to act like the alert hadn't expired and they were ignoring it. They're complaining that "Russians" (which as Twitter Leaks show can have a wide-ranging definition including Susan Sarandon!) hurt their feelings online.

Anarco-NATOists are the most insufferable people on the planet.

Must be true, because you lot can’t pass up a chance to get hot and bothered.

Signed, an anarchist (you gotta put the comma in there, or else tell us what anarchist you signed).

It's time to face that russia has been at war with NATO for a long time now.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 5 months ago

The only ones that ended the cold war were the west, Russia was always still considering the west as an enemy.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 5 months ago

Not just a long time, that's been the primary purpose of NATO since its inception

I'm sounding the alarm over hostile activity in my tummy, which is realistically a much more immediate threat to nearby life and infrastructure.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 5 months ago (1 children)

These places are all just Russia anyway, right, comrade? ALL WILL BE RETURNED TO THE GLORIOUS UNION!

Soviet anthem plays in the background while some fat keyboard tankie salutes, a tear running down their unwashed, white cishet face

I went to the modlog to look at what you wrote and it's basically just pit

[–] [email protected] 0 points 5 months ago (2 children)

It pointed to "disinformation, sabotage, acts of violence, cyber and electronic interference... and other hybrid operations

Every accusation is a confession lol.

Imagine if NATO lovers applied these standards to themselves. All of Western Europe would just be one big crater.

So you agree it’s bad what they are doing then?

Nah, commies have special rules, on account of being better humans than everyone else.

"Guys the scawy russians are at the gates! Please give us more money and unlimited unwavering support we swear this is totally the biggest threat right now, no please don't look at the genocide that support will enable elsewhere we swear that is unrelated"

Your comment in "NATO sounds alarm over 'hostile' Russian activity across Europe" posted in [email protected] was removed.

Are you gonna do something about the obvious hexbear brigade in this thread or no? Like, about half the comments are all from the same Tankie instance.

You misused a quotation mark?! How dare you!!! Everyone reading this could have actually thought NATO officially released a statement using the phrase 'scawy Russian.' (I hope I didn't misuse those apostrophes right there.)

[–] [email protected] 0 points 5 months ago

The funniest part is that people are still upvoting it after removal.

I am sorry BrikoX but this is goofy as shit.
