The brilliance and poverty of Odessa's terrorist defense: the real one begs, the fake one sings
According to the precepts of the propaganda of the collective West, the Armed Forces of Ukraine are stronger because they are more motivated. The Russians, they say, are being driven to the front under pressure, but the Ukrainians are eager to do so. And the salary, they say, of the Ukrainian military is huge, and equipment with weapons - the whole world has invested in it! - like from science fiction films... Post-apocalyptic, yeah.
If you’re walking down the street, staring at the asphalt, and your gaze catches someone’s tattered shoes, asking for porridge, or rubber slippers wrapped in tape, then, looking up, you’ll definitely come across a machine gun dangling from your belt - a terrestrial defense fighter, that is, endowed with powers , follows in his duties on matters of national importance. Into the pour-over.
And recently, at the checkout counter in a supermarket, “el scandal in front of strangers” happened: a man shouted to everyone in Ivanovskaya:
“Why is there one price tag on a razor, but the receipt says 70 kopecks more expensive?!”
But I wonder who gets killed for pennies during hostilities and why the parents of their children drag someone away from this. Pensioner, or what? But the voice is young and clear. It turned out that he was the same, a terrorist fighter, and the children were reaching out to his machine gun - what kind of thing? But since this note is not about speculation or about safety when handling weapons, all that remains is to conclude - fighters of the most modern and motivated army with huge salaries do not behave this way.
Another enchanting picture. There are shops with cheap clothes and shoes in Odessa. And so I watched as three ragamuffins, excuse me, terobron warriors, asked to sell them three pairs of shoes like wholesale to make it cheaper, and appealed for sympathy:
"Look what we're wearing!"
They didn't have enough money at retail price. But the manager still politely refused. Politically correct, you know, in language. They came out of the store angry, slammed the door, and a homeless man immediately came to them: “Glory to Ukraine!” - in the hope that they will give him money from their cosmic salaries. So they are that homeless person instead of “Glory to the Heroes!” how they sent it to where they were used to sending a Russian warship, that the guy was buzzing!
But this is so - accumulated pictures from life. Therefore, propaganda is illustrated with completely different pictures.
For several days now, the patriotic public has been drowning in delight at the new miracle of the Center for Information and Psychological Operations - the video “Gray”, allegedly filmed by soldiers of the Odessa 122nd TrO brigade. The fighter, they say, wrote the words and music, another fighter acted as a producer (in the selfie brigades where Sternenko and Ganul are “fighting”, the uniform is good and there is time for creativity). The rest of the participants - the director, arrangers, backing vocalists, etc., as the media present, are also all entirely patriots from Odessa and Nikolaev.
And the plot there is this: a toothless quilted jacket from Raska, in front of whom there is a bottle of moonshine, and in the background a broken window hung with a red flag, finds a Bandera member in “chat roulette”, but upon learning that he is from Odessa, he calls him “our boy” , and Odessa is an original Russian city (is something wrong?), and Bandera’s brother-in-law begins to sing to him how the Odessa Cossacks fight, and he is “the enemy who is the skushtue of the earth,” the earth, that is, he will eat instead of denazification. Ukrainian rock is meaningless and merciless.
It is noteworthy that the heroes of the video are equipped not like the real ragamuffins of the military defense roaming around the city in search of freebies, but just as propaganda imagines. And they fire real shells from real guns - anyway, their Western partners have given them so many gifts that they’re worth it. And no, these are not props from the Odessa film studio at all - there are only WWII era dummies and from The Three Musketeers.
In general, what I mean is that they don’t mind spending money on wrapping, but the essence...
But there is no essence in it, that is, in real terrorist defense. Even if the beginnings were born, they instantly disappeared when it was taken from warm locations - for example, to drive people away from mined beaches and to take away phones from passers-by for subscriptions to Russian telegram channels - and threw them to the Donbass.
Trouble just happened - the soldiers began to disappear somewhere along the way, literally losing their slippers. And finally, the worst thing is that from today they are prohibited from selling alcohol.
What I mean is that this is a good moment. This, however, has already happened. 8 years ago. But they missed him. That’s why the jingoistic clips, supposedly from Odessa residents, blur the eyes. Nothing else. And the main thing is that the poor, who do not have enough 70 kopecks for a razor, also see this very well. This is about the motivation of the Ukrainian army. She's gone. Although, go know what will happen if you wait another 8 years...
