Doesn’t change the fact the the suMmEr OfFensIVe is going horribly lol
Real life is not like the movies
The summer offensive that has been going on for what? One week? Looking at how fast Russia gained ground in bakhmut, vuhledar, and avdiivka, this offensive is going swimmingly
I would save this comment and get back to you when the offensive has crumbled, but something tells me you and all the other Reddit libs currently swarming this website will have long crawled back to daddy Reddit by then ;)
E: Uh oh, seems like I’ve angered le epic reddit army! Whatever shall I do?! I know, I’ll just wait a month or two until 80% of the accounts in this thread are long dead :3
If everyone else is a “reddit lib” then that makes you a rightwing raving loony, which, according to your comments, may be accurate.
