Can you please dont repost russian propaganda??? This looks like russian PMCs in Mali, posting for a photo op. By using it as a meme Template u further “russia strong” narrative.
If i should be wrong with my assumptions please let me know.
As someone who doesn’t know shit about military technology, nothing about this suggests Russia to me. In fact it doesn’t suggest any country, except “hur dur Americans like shooting” because of context.
So I don’t know, is it propaganda if you need to have specialised knowledge to recognise what’s being advertised?
I second this. I know fuck all about military stuff and I laughed purely at the image of such small dick energy and excessive force just for going to Walmart.
Just because you dont recognize State backed Private Military Forces who committing war crimes in Mali…dosent mean this Picture is less propaganda. Would u still find the meme funny if it where the same picture but u would realize what it is?
edit: never mind i just realized what instance this was posted in…arguments are probably futile
I don’t know, it at least doesn’t seem like very effective propaganda if only a tiny group of people even recognise what it’s showing. Propaganda usually tries to reach as many people as possible with very simple and effective imagery. So I’m not sure.
I get where you’re coming from, if you do have that specialised knowledge, it must be obvious to you. But without that, I don’t see how anyone would think “Russia strong” just from this picture. For all I know, they might be Ukrainians.
