(75,398 posts)From what I have read Putin’s war is a meat grinder. Something like 1 out of 3 North Korean
troops end up as a casualty. Oh well move to Russia and join their army doesn’t seem like
good life choices.

(26,865 posts)In Russian, the informal way to say "whatever" can be translated as "короче" (koroche), "всё равно" (vsyo ravno), or "пофиг" (pofig), depending on the context and level of formality. "Koroche" is a versatile term, often used to shorten a conversation or dismiss something, similar to saying "anyway" or "in short". "Vsyo ravno" translates directly to "it's all the same" or "it doesn't matter," while "pofig" is a more vulgar expression meaning "I don't care" or "I spit on it".

(25,745 posts)If I had wanted to say "sure, whatever" in Russian in that post, I would have been much more likely to say ну вообще.
Fuck AI.

(5,782 posts)"The wife of Derek Huffman, who earlier this year relocated his family from Texas to Russia to escape “LGBT indoctrination”—and was sent last month into active duty fighting in Ukraine—has released an update on her husband’s combat experience.
In the comment section of a July 15 YouTube video updating viewers about her family’s life in Russia, DeAnna Huffman said that her husband is alive and healthy.
“He’s not missing. Or ever was,” DeAnna wrote, responding to rumors that he was missing in action. She said that she spoke to him on the phone the night before the video was posted."

I don't trust the OP/The Maltese Herald article in the least, but that Yahoo/Daily Beast article doesn't really contradict the claim that the man was recently killed
The Daily Beast article is dated yesterday, but the their source for the claim that the man is still alive is based on a YouTube comment, purportedly from his wife, on a video posted on July 15.
On edit:
I don't know the date of the comment. The article doesn't say or provide a link to the video or comment.
On edit, 2:
There is a post from his wife on their YouTube channel from 3 days ago that says her husband is alive and well. I don't think that's the same as the comment referenced in the article.

Even LBN is not immune. I know of two LBN threads in the last two weeks about things that did not happen.
The OP was told, but that didn’t make any difference. The threads weren’t deleted. The important part apparently is that the OPs said things that we wanted to happen. That’s all that counts anymore.
That forum needs some rule changes.

Response to Swede (Original post)
Renew Deal This message was self-deleted by its author.
If true, that was quick, the product of the meat grinder strategy Putin has put in place. Putin gives no value to his men in the field, even less I imagine for a duped American.
His wife and children will continue to pay the price for the man's Russia delusions.
Another Big Lie gone wrong.

Probably super right religeous. How can those people be so stupid? They probably thought God spoke to them and told them to go. And they believed it. And thought they were special, and God would protect them.
