Soviet mothers were grieving, rebelling and protesting when the USSR "only" lost 15,000 troops over its 10 year-long involvement in Afghanistan (they managed to occupy the capital then, too). Mood was low, people were returning to churches en masse including apparatchiks & it was one of the contributors of the Fall of Communism & collapse of the USSR. And the USSR's population was nearly 290 million (larger than the US)Now in 140 million Russia over 300,000 troops were killed in 3.5 years of fighting in Ukraine (160K dead are confirmed, named and buried!) AND they didnt even capture shit, and... nothingIt's crazy how they take it just like that and are actually more cucked and have less dignity than Soviet people. Actually insane
>>524148012that shows the current russian government is a lot stronger than the USSR was right before its collapse, the people are a lot more motivated and willing to fighteither that or they just have better propaganda
>>524148012soviet ppl did not believe a word their gov told them, soviet ppl where pretty good educated and could thing for themselfbtw what happend to this cutie?
The difference is that people couldn't leave the USSR back then, same as all the countries behind the iron curtain. This prevents the humiliation of population flight to the enemy, but also creates a pressure cooker. After the Cold War, the age of ideology ended and dictators stopped caring about population flight to the West, instead seeing it as a source of remittences and spies and also security: all the dissidents and potential revolutionaries flee the country and only the niggercattle remain.This is why Putin is now free to meatgrind forever and not worry at all about the reaction of the Russian public. He rules a broken slave race.
>>524148012not fan of ziggers but 300k is too unrealistic
>>524148012No one cares about men dying in 2025, grim. Women don't mourn men, they just open Onlyfans , get new boyfriend and move on.
>>524148012ukraine is an existential war of survivalafghanistan was the same as our adventure there, the folly of a fading empire
My mom wrote letters to two dudes when she was like 20 who were stationed in Afghanistan and they found out about her cuz they were in the same bunks kek
>>524148012USSR sent conscripts to Afghanistan, not volunteers.
>>524148012I just hope the cute girl in your picrel married a good Roumanian man.. that is all.
>>524148012And NATO thinks they can bleed them White.
>>524148012Jesus that girl is fucking beautiful. Only BBC could satisfy a white woman that gorgeous.
>>524148012Go back and hop in the van anytime, piglet.
>>524148012Soviet women were social and politically empowered to effect positive change in their country.Russian women are gold-diggers angling to be black widows and collect their dead husband's benefitsThey are not the same
>>524148012Russians may love misery and suffering but the subjugated nations surely didin`t.
>>524148146>that shows the current russian government is a lot stronger than the USSR was right before its collapse,i heard that in Putin's Russia there's actually more political prisoners now, than in Brezhnev's USSR (which was more populous, too)
>>524148604
>>524148012weird innit
>>524148012The difference is that the soldiers getting killed aren't from the big cities, they are mostly from poor deprived rural ethnic regions that nobody really gives a shit about. Putin has been very careful to keep the impact of the war as low as possible in Russia proper.
in unrelated news
>>524148292>all the dissidents and potential revolutionaries flee the country and only the niggercattle remainthis is a decent take, all the contrariens fled since theres no way to oposse putin from russia itself other than working with ukranian glowies (good luck with that)
>>524148012Much more Ukrainians than Russians have been killed. Ukraine will soon run out of men.Also Russians know this is a righteous war worth sacrifices.
>>524148627yeah i heard of that, apparently russian roasties who are angry at & tired of their partners/husbands nag and pressure them to go fight, and the equally miserable and despondent husband may even find that prospect more attractive than staying with an aggressive hag screeching at him 24/7, at dinner, in bed etc.grim>>524148604>Jesus that girl is fucking beautiful.because she looks like a little girl??seriously tho she looks about 88/10 and 8 years old
They thought things should be better back then. Now nobody has hope, everyone is fucked up
>>524148012Isn't Russia just removing a bunch of undesirables in this war? Afghanistan had a sort of Vietnam war feel to it, where young Russian men across the racial and social stratum were being sent to die in an unjust war.Either normal Russians don't give a fuck about the soldiers on the front, or they think this war is justified. I think it'd be different conscripted soldiers were dying jn drone attacks.
>>524148784actually apparently they started conscripting people from the Moscow region too, and Petersburg>>524148940>Much more Ukrainians than Russians have been killed.source? with russia's de-mechanized meat wave assault conduct, i'm pretty sure the attacker is suffering higher casualties here. also their north korean shells are defective and inaccurate, heard russian soldiers saying theyre a bigger danger to themselves than to the enemy kek
>>524149073I was under the impression that drafted soldiers are near the borders in reserve, but not actually fighting at the front.
what a little seething tranny you are
>>5241492072nd thread isnt mine and not even about russia4th thread is by pic related, retarded 90iq grok-brained autistic pathologically lying literal faggot who went from simping for America (hence his nickname Atlanta on the now-defunct krautchan) to being a zigger because he has no brain of his own, no real opinions or spine & just regurgitates what his skewed disinfo twitter feed currently presents to him
>>524148012life in USSR had price, now in russia it is worthless
>>524148012Afghanistan wasn't openly proclaiming itself as an entity existing solely to conquer Russia while being on constant life supports from a bunch of openly hostile countries. Afghanistan war was unjust and retarded, it served nobody any good. It contributed to the ultimate collapse of commies, same way Vietnam war shifted American perception of their government.
>>524149536>Afghanistan wasn't openly proclaiming itself as an entity existing solely to conquer Russiahas anyone? this doesn't even make sense to me
>>524149396as was saidwhat a seething little tranny (You) are
>>524149425ohaio troon 2 50/50
>>524149643
>>524148012Who is this cutie
>>524149536>while being on constant life supports from a bunch of openly hostile countrieslol America only openly assisted the brave and gallant mujahideen warriors of afghanistan
I think that you would see the same happen if america went to war. Men are considered worthless villains more than ever. Ukraine was supposed to be the giant meat grinder that killed ten million incels.
>>524149872you pedo?
>>524149829seems like you can't explain what you mean either...oh well. it's late their and you're drunk i suppose
>>524149829just think they are still tying to figure out a way to take out loans using Russian assets as collatteral they never managed to capture because..well.. the plan said "nato wins!" and they have no other script
>>524148012You are retarded. Afghanistan was seen as pointless political stunt, where conscripts had to die for nothing. While the current war is seen as holy defending motherland from nazi gay piggers, which is done by volunteers who get good money for it.
>>524149066I mean these day I consider any zog bot still in-service and loyal to their handlers as a traitor and am glad when they die these days. I also have no respect for the military. I was not like this 20 years ago. It could very well be due to the confidence collapse in institutions.
>>524149981>ukraine was supposed to be the giant meat grinder that killed ten million incels.this was supposed to be "cool" to us "fellow nazis"
>>524150137"volunteers" lol"oh so you arrived for the routine health checkup young man. now sign this contract as a 'volunteer' or sit on a bottle!"
>>524149885So was Soviets in Vietnam. The deal is, Afghanistan wasn't forcefully throwing millions of its citizens on behalf of foreign entities. Ukraine is willing to kill all of its citizens if it harms us somehow, you can't simply walk away from that.
>>524148012>300,000 troopsActually if you look at the insurance data for deaths and disabilities including the state payouts, it's just above 1.1m.
>>524150327>ukraine is willing to kill all of its citizens if it harms us somehow, you can't simply walk away from that.
>>524150327>The deal is, Afghanistan wasn't forcefully throwing millions of its citizensretard, as many as 2 MILLION Afghans mostly civilians perished in the 10 year Soviet-Afghanistan waryour troops were absolutely brutal and nazi-tier when it came to retributions for soviet troops killed by IEDs etc. whole villages were rounded up and murdered
>>524152530total casualties, yeah, but im talking about the killed only
>>524152530Yes total casualties true. I had read that from the death vs. disability payouts it was 300k living and 800k dead? But seems your data has it the other way around?
Is this the Russian outside of Russia thread?
>>524150286Spot on. Muppets, all of them.>>524150137Ahem:>https://www.reuters.com/world/europe/south-africans-dragged-into-russias-war-ukraine-dig-trenches-dodge-bullets-2025-12-22/
>>524148012>They didnt even capture shitLike 25% of ukraine + crimea
>>524148012Thats means you cant do shit and russia will fuck you up. No more subversive cia activity to cause soviet division, russia is nationalist and its over for you butthurter.
>>524148627i would die for a russian angel's fifth property
>>524148604Thats a man. Looks at the hands.
>>524148012Good fucking gravy, keep this eternal slavshit posting in /uhg/
>>524148012Many disgusting turkish scumbag will be killed for the crappy nonsense you attempt to spout.FUCK THE DISGUSTING turkish SCUMBAG
>>524150327>>524148012 (OP) #Many disgusting turkish scumbag will be killed for the crappy nonsense you attempt to spout.FUCK THE DISGUSTING turkish SCUMBAG
>>524148012Late USSR was unironically pretty good, human life mattered above all else and there was plenty of effort to make the system less oppressive and more politically diverse, sadly this meant that what was once a strong union became infiltrated and thus ended divides, modern Russia Is the contrary practically a totalitarian regime where all dissidents are cut, this makes modern Russia a lot less free but also 100x more politically stable
>>524155050>Late USSR was unironically pretty good,lmfao
>>524148012Different time, different war, retard.
>>524148012>georgian militias vs war against NATOpoles truly astonish with their iq
Putin defeating NATO with x amount of troops is the most significant thing in human history since I don't even know what. Only sure thing is it isn't whatever amount of Russians were lost in fucken Afghanistan.
