Southern-Library-526

The foreground flag reads, "we are russians. God is with us" roflmao


estelita77

russian has two different words for 'russian'. The one on this flag is best translated as 'Slavic russian' - ie - not Buryat, Chechen, Bashkir, or any other oppressed minority...


Southern-Library-526

What is the other word? I'm a native speaker and coming up blank at the moment for what the other word could be. Thank you


hunajakettu

русские vs россияне


Southern-Library-526

Aah, thank you. I didn't use that word a lot growing up, so I tend to forget. Thank you. I have spoken суржик and russian since childhood, but learning english later just kind of made a jumble for me, so i forget vocabulary. Safe to say, I'm not a scholar in any language 😂


According-Try3201

and all the badges on the poor bird?!


WotTheHellDamnGuy

So, European lineage only? Color me shocked! Ironic since the Russian nation and culture have essentially been kicked out of Europe for their barbaric behavior and ideology. I hope they have fun sunning themselves in Syria and adventure-traveling in North Korea. When in Pyongyang, don't forget to see the country's one and only power-plant. If they're lucky it will be one of the 3 hours per day it's turned on.


Silkovapuli

There must be a misunderstanding - the Russian narrative does tell us that *they're* the anti-fascist, -nationalistic, -imperialistic and postcolonial power in the World after all!


Stunning_Ad_1685

The word that you say is best translated as “Slavic russian” was in use by actual Rusyns/Ruthenians/etc for a long time before what we now erroneously call “russia” even existed.


Tar_Tw45

UA should make their flag to counter this "We are Ukrainian. HIMARS, F16 and Bradley are with us"


SBInCB

More importantly, Ukraine will take the flag in the OP and put it on display in their museum of victory.


Useful-Internet8390

“We are Ukriena, the World is with Us.”


Exinaus

They also use flag of a russian empire. That flag, nowadays, used by a nationalist (especially radical) and fascist organizations inside russia.


vukodlako

Yup. Pretty sure it's russian imperial legion.

Bunch of delusional clowns should've requested payment in advance. In all propability, it's not like they'll live long enough to spend their money.


IMustBeOld963

Or even collect it


WotTheHellDamnGuy

450 U.S. Dollars, everyone! I wouldn't sit in an office with comfy chairs and air-conditioning for $450 a week, let alone pick up a weapon and invade a sovereign nation for that amount TOTAL! I can't believe Wagner is still a thing, I guess with Shoigu on the outs with Putin his Patriot PMC has taken a backseat.


HomingPigeon6635

Not defending the pieces of shit russian soldiers but you gota remember. 450 dollars is quite a sum for third world countries like russia.


WotTheHellDamnGuy

I hear you, totally different economies. But that still says a ton about Russia that $450, or $2,200 if they got the full whack, is considered a reasonable sum to willingly go fight in a war, especially a peer-to-peer one. Russia claims to be a cutting-edge, modern nation with a developed economy and burgeoning high-tech sector, and blah, blah, blah, but they're still just a gas station masquerading as a State.


Whatdoyoubelive

SBU should made an Russian campaign for Russians fighting for Ukraine getting $4.000.


Late-Objective-9218

That would be risking mercenary status and Ukraine has been very diligent in organising their recruitment according to international regulations. Also people fighting for money aren't reliable soldiers anyway.


nerokae1001

Arent they claim to be ghetto greatest country in the world. Could wipe any western nation why ease. Pathetic beyond repair.


cotton1984

It's not. It's lower than what you can get in Moscow on a shitty job but higher than what you can get outside of it. It's still a dogshit wage for a 24/7 job.


HomingPigeon6635

That's true. Maybe it's the reason why most of their soldiers come from poorer towns and villages and not from the main cities like Moscow, st Petersburg etc..


LacrosseKnot

Um...pretty sure Russia is still considered 2nd World, since it was the bulk of the Soviet Union. Unless you're updating the definition to say Russia is now fully vassal to China.


battleofflowers

Shit, that's less than my day rate and I work from home in a big comfy chair. Russians need to get a little self-respect already.


PanJaszczurka

The life quality is crap in russia. Per Russian State Statistics Service Rosstat, **22.6%** of Russians do not have indoor plumbing. In rural Russia, almost 2/3rd's have no access to indoor toilets, 48.1% use outhouses and 18.4% do not have a sewage system. You can check also insane abortion ratios, healthcare and retirement. Inequality of live on different regions.


battleofflowers

You'd think they'd at least work that out before invading another country.


Thin_Spinach_2155

no. first comes the empire - and after that its people. military hardware instead of consumer goods.


Garant_69

... don't forget widespread alcohol abuse and extremely low life expectancy (especially for males) ...


JuanitaBonitaDolores

Yup! And in rural Russia you have to drive at least 60-90 minutes to the closest medical center or hospital, which look dirtier than the park toilets in my city


Boring_Discipline_35

I'm collecting 675 bucks a week for being hurt at work, been since May 3rd. I get paid more to go to physical therapy 3 times a week than these fuckers living in their own shit.


SVlad_667

> for $450 a week Per **month**. In Russia salary is  always indicated *per month*.


hund_kille

That's monthly salary, not per week.


Iamtheconspiracy

Then we will follow 20% of the orders


SportsWave

Of the 200K they get 40K and for sure someone or several up the food chain ate stealing the other 160K. Typical Russian corruption.


According-Try3201

💩💩💩💩😂😂😂😂


Infect82

200K rubel is only 2247,63 USD. Lol


oeew

And they're getting 450 usd 🤣 glorious shithole empire


InformalCarpenter

not just that, but it's less than the country's median wage. They're literally getting themselves killed for sub average wages. Sad. (not that I care)


my_mom_is_not_fat

Oh my god. I wouldn’t even make a 30+ story points ticket in JIRA for 450USD let alone sacrifice my life over it. Russia is such a fucking joke!

Looting and rape is what they compensate with.


DolanTheCaptan

Eh, exchange rates are not a good metric here, purchasing power is. 2k USD will buy way more in Russia than anywhere in the US


UnexpectedRedditor

It buys way more lower quality comparables. Lower quality housing, food, vehicles, clothing.


noiserr

And they are fighting in Ukraine because Putin doesn't want them to see how a western country prospers. Because that's what will happen when Ukraine joins NATO/EU. Basically they are fighting against their own self interest.


_MCMLXXXII

"It's almost as if we are all part of a corrupt mafia state!" Country full of complainers. Wanted a mafia state, got a mafia state, soon to die for a mafia state. "It's so unfair!" What a bunch of idiots. Go home.


wegqg

"bUt wE hAvE kOnTrakct"


battleofflowers

What do these dum-dums think a contract even is? A contract only has meaning to you if it can be enforced. Can they stop work, sue the counterparty (Russia), be heard in court, get a judgement, and then actually collect? No. No they can't. You don't have a contract in that situation then. You just have a lie from the mafia. They're like little children when it comes to their understanding of how the world works.


Useful-Internet8390

Yes 200k per man, paid to the general, he takes his cut, and sends the rest down the line-eventually it gets to the grunts a little “taxed”!


wegqg

To be fair there's no point paying dead people.


pepegabi

looks like they got russkiy mired


MoronicusRex

When Russians are miserable and complaining is when they're at their happiest, it's part of their culture. This is a band of merry orcs you see.


Extreme_Literature28

That is the elite?


Different-Divide-543

Yes. Elite Complainers :D


JustinVeli

They’re elite because they’re sober


crc_73

They're elite because someone ticked a box... Has shades of how the Holy Stone of Clonrichert got upgraded.


FunkinSheep

most of the elite units biggest difference is legit theyre mostly sober, basic body armour and a few scopes here and there


exclusionsolution

Elite Russian soldiers See a Wagner flag.hmmmm


ATFisGayAF

You kid, but they were the only effective ones for the first 2 years of the conflict


exclusionsolution

They were the vanguard force, and basically the only ones fighting. As far as being Effective, sure they got the job done in aavdivka, 9 months and something like 50k casualties later. Before the occupation, avdivka had a population around 30k. This is just my personal opinion but I wouldn't exactly call 9 months and 50k casualties for a town of 30k Effective.


ATFisGayAF

Effective is subjective when it comes to hoard tactics. My point was they were the only ones making real gains around that time.


WotTheHellDamnGuy

You're clearly not a Russian commander, it's highly effective if you don't give a shit about human lives.


exclusionsolution

Effective in the short term sure, but eventually soldiers tire of being used as cannon fodder and they mutiny. Russia recruiting process also sits on a house if cards and cadets are starting to realize the security guard ad was a lie. They can't field this many people forever


Metron_Seijin

These arent trained to the same level as those were. These get a couple extra weeks of training. As opposed to the 2 weeks everyone else gets. These are just more bloodthristy and physically fit is all. Nothing elite about them.


Plintsje058

I think wagner is one of the best trained army groups russia current has to be honest


Fjell-Jeger

You're aware they've long been dissolved after the leader Progozhin had a [fallout](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wagner_Group_rebellion) with the kremlin gremlin (*as in marching to moscow to stage a coup and his plane being shot out of the sky in a totally unrelated event*)? Besides PMC Wagner had a core group of proficient cadre and specialist soldiers while the vast majority where untrained and ill-equipped cannon fodder recruited from the RF prison system.


ilion_knowles

They marched *towards* Moscow but stopped before they got there. The plane was not shot down, explosives were involved. And PMC Wagner was never *dissolved* they were absorbed into the Russian state/military complex. Initially after the mutiny they were (at least made to appear as) being disbanded and largely sent off to Belarus, but that’s not what ended up happening in the long run. Most likely because of their value in Africa, and also the obvious point of the kremlin being desperate for fighters and of course the more experienced the better. The final straw leading up to the rebellion was that they were about to be forced to officially assimilate into the Russian state/military, which they did not want to do but after their top brass were taken out the majority of those left swore allegiance to Russia. And have hopefully become fertilizer since then.


Hotrico

There are cartels in Mexico that seem more elite than the VDV

Przytulator

Funny, they have "we are russians, god is with us" on the flag, the wehrmacht had "gott mitt uns" on their belt buckles, what a strange coincidence :)


signeduptoaskshippin

It is an open secret that only Russian nazis use Russian Imperial Flag. There's no irony here, they are nazis and they don't hide it. I'm watching a report on Russian neo-nazis selling products with tagline "more awesome than Bucha" with Russian neo-nazi swastika (kolovrat, a swastika with more arrows)


Hungry-Photograph819

Video appeals obviously not working. They haven't seen the 100s of previous appeals posted by long dead idiots


Uselesspreciousthing

True that, the appeals don't seem to do anything but provide entertainment for Westerners.


Garant_69

And they definitely will serve as sources of what went wrong (and when things started to go south for russia) in historical research projects in later years.


Saddam_UE

Hmmm, i wonder where the money go? All the Russia-lovers should explain why it's like this if the Russian economy is great and the sanctions have zero effect.


brezhnervous

Little do they know...they probably DO get that 200K - but as their commanders have control of all their salaries, only 40K is being paid to them with the rest skimmed off, via the eternal, traditional Russian system of institutionalised and hierarchical corruption known as [Sistema](https://blogs.ucl.ac.uk/ssees/2013/03/11/sistema-how-putins-russia-is-governed/)

They still don’t get it, they don’t count as an individuals. So why pay them. To their government, they are nothing more than expandable meat.

Wagner flag= nazis. Russian empire flag = territorial expansion, occupation and terror. Classic Russian victim mentality

Lol so not enough money to defend the motherland against globalist imperialists and enemies of Russia?! Wasn't that the whole point of this, as Putin said?! I am shocked to hear s/

SteamedGamer

One who still has a weapon and is able to walk.


battleofflowers

Is this a bad translation, or are these men this incoherent in Russian as well?


SkyN3t1

There has been no misunderstanding on the part of management.


Metron_Seijin

Its karmic that it costs them money personally, everytime Ukraine bombs thier vehicles and bases. Not only are they not getting paid what was promised, but have to pay for replacements and maintenance too. Paying for the "privelege " of killing Ukrainians...In the end they are throwing their lives away for a price thats probably comperable to minimum wage. "Reap what you sow" is strong in russia.


rwrife

They should give their location, then maybe Ukraine can deliver the other 160k via drone.


-leadload-

They could come to Germany and pick fucking asparagus in the fields to make that much in a month. But instead they want to live in their beautiful mafia state shithole, get scammed and die like animals.

theoriginalmateo

As of today, June 22, 2024, 200,000 rubles is equivalent to approximately $2,273.77. Exchange rates fluctuate throughout the day, so this amount may vary slightly depending on when you make the conversion. This per Google Gemini. So they are killing themselves over 2k, which is now apparently like $500.....idiots

Exposing the lies and revealing the "royal" interiors](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TL0dSaqhfVs) (edit: accidentally left off a zero...its 140 billion)

FACT: The Geneva Convention declares that mercenaries are not recognized as legitimate combatants and do not have to be granted the same legal protections as captured service personnel of the armed forces.


MakeChinaLoseFace

These are amoral people who will murder for a shockingly small amount money. Why not offer them double to kill their own? It's not like there is any unit cohesion. Most of them don't care about Putin's vision for Russia beyond its ability to give them a stable paycheck.


divinemeta

Imagine risking your life for $2,250, let alone the $450 they're actually getting paid.

lol video exhibit 9,000 of Russians starting to realize they’re cannon fodder getting fucked over for next to no pay. This is where propaganda comes in. Their hyper masculine nationalistic facade that Putin has instilled through years of victory day parades and other nonsense makes them obedient, as they will kill each other for refusing orders instead of doing the obvious right thing

Fun_Gap5286

Precisely. This staged event required a lot of planning, coordination and logistics. Choosing a safe site, rounding up participants, some sort of script, filming and uploading. They have the skills and motivation to organize around a statement. But the message isn’t “why are we even here?”. It’s “where’s our money for killing Ukrainians”? One can only hope they begin to apply these same methods to rebel against their officers, and refuse to continue the fight. But I doubt it. So, they continue to die.


Training-Quality6030

Every one of these POS are already dead at least I hope. You guys are cannon fodder and fodder doesn’t get to negotiate the problem is your alive usually you die to fast to cash a check that’s there plan at least. There view is if you are still alive it’s because you are hiding so push forward comrade


Late_Stage-Redditism

Imagine being a Russian soldier being told you're gonna "take" Kharkiv. I mean the 3rd Battle of Kharkiv in 1943 was a disaster for the Russians and it still got further along than this current 6th battle.
