    The image is presumably a Russian PMC in Mali. Same PMC that is known to have killed and tortured a lot of civilians in Mali.

    Camo is russian, weapns are russian, no Flag patches, but a very round and wagner like patch in the background. I say yes they are Russians. Combined with the fact that this is clearly in Mali (tone of the earth and style of the structures).

    So truly thing about this post, and if it makes sense, cuz if one wants to dab on them americans the picture could just show a very high armed american civilian instead of a person that is maybe linked to war crimes.

    You are not immune to propaganda.

        Remember that this com is on .world. Equating Russian an NATO imperialism here is gonna result in a bad time.

        The US is activity and directly trying to invade another nation, genocide their people, and steal their land? I’m amazed I hadn’t heard of this.

          Not sure if joking or unaware of the fact that this was the way the US was literally created.

            So there isn’t one, and you’re saying Russia is as bad as the US was a century or more ago. If that’s your argument, all you’re proving is that Russia worse.

              Why are you acting as if I wanted to defend Russia?

              Edit: Am I correct to assume that your point is that the US switched strategy. Totally superior, then. /s

                Because you jumped into a conversation comparing the current actions Russia and the US by criticizing US history, acting as if this disproved my point. Now you’re sealioning and pretending that context didn’t exist.

                  I’m still not sure how stating that the US is an imperialist powerhouse who is not too shy to invade and genocide itself (or let its’ proxy states do so) is somehow a defense of Russia.

                  What you seem to fail to understand is that two parties in a conflict can be assholes. Pointing out that one of them is an asshole doesn’t mean that I’m not condemning the other one. Are you gonna ask me if I condemn Hamas next?

    Do people really use suppressors on automatic weapons? I thought that was a video game thing.

        OK, sure I guess so for like an assault rifle, but a belt fed machine-gun?

        How many rounds can a machine gun put out before that beer-can gets as bright as the sun and starts to droop like a limp dick?

          You’d be surprised. I think the last torture test I saw had 700-1000 through before the can melted off, but that was just holding the trigger down. You’re risking melting the barrel at that point, too. Remember, 3 sec bursts is the rule. Found one.

    Clearly written by a European, we buy 2 liters. One liters are uncommon outside of fast food places.
