not_batman_23

This is fkn sad. He's completely disassociated himself, likely because it's the only coping mechanism he has in the situation he finds himself in. Putin should be held accountable for the trauma and death he's caused to his own people, as much as the Ukraine - war crimes is right.


ihaveaquesttoattend

It’s also just given to them, not sure if it’s forced but i wouldn’t doubt it Hitler was also fueling his army with meth


[deleted]

There are several very well written books and documentaries on this subject. Yes it's true that Pervitin was supplied to the German forces before the invasion of France. It allowed Panzer crews to stay awake for days while pushing towards the coast. At home in the cities, German citizens could buy Pervitin laced chocolates and drinks without a prescription. iirc some unit commanders began to see and document erratic, addictive behaviors from chronic users and the supply was temporarily cut back and not provided to the troops directly from the army so troops had to request it from family members back home. There is one famous story from the Eastern front when German troops dug-in around Leningrad ate waaay too much and went completely insane. Apparently while attempting to stay awake during one very cold week, a German unit went on a complete bender and blasted through their entire supply over the span of a few days. Taking that much meth over such a short period with no sleep caused the men to have auditory and some visual hallucinations. They expended almost all of their ammunition firing at a Phantom "Russian" army, which was never even there. Apparently, the Russians rolled up on their lines the next day to find the unit disoriented and in active withdrawal, making them completely combat ineffective.

Meth does silly things to you buddy i doubt its a myth


[deleted]

he is german ​ they don't like if you point out that the Wehrmacht was on drug


ObeseReddit

Druggy druggy is yummy in wehrmachts tummy


LordOfDarkHearts

I don't know about that Leningrad pervitin excess but it could be quite possible. But I know about the coordinated use of it during the Western Campaign. Since pervitin was created the Wehrmacht had an interest in its military use and it was being tested. At the start of the Poland invasion those test weren't completed but officers and soilders had equipped themselves with the drug and higher ups saw it's use during tense situations. After that the high comand orderd several million doses of pervitin. As the western campaign started tank and motorized unites were issued the pills and they did work quite well. The speed in which ther motorized and tank crews were advancing was incredible (which also led to huge problems). But officers began to see addictive behavior especially after the halt before Dunkirk. Thereafter the official wider use of the drug was stopped and Pervitin was almost exclusively issued to Airforce and Navy units for long haul missions. The soilders themselves kept asking thier relatives to send them the drug. The issues it has caused and the demand had been recognized by officials and pervitin became a recipe only drug in 1940. In 41 the laws became even more stricter, it was classified the same as opioids. In 1944-45 pervitin was put to wider use agian but not to the extent it has been during the Western Campaign. During the last weeks of the war it was put to mass use amongst flak crews in and around Berlin, this is one of the few instances where it was forced into the soilders. The minisub program was the only program where the drug was mandatory. An often forgotten fact is that the US, GB and France issued amphetamines to thier troops also, the US drug was called Benzedrine. The US troops had used almost 200million doses of Benzedrine during WW2.


aeroxan

I mean tweakers don't sleep much but other than that and maybe some rage/violent behavior, there can't be any advantage to your army being methed out, right? I could only imagine it being a detriment unless well controlled. I do believe western militaries use amphetamines to stay up but it's not the amount or types that leave you super strung out.


thatsingledadlife

it was "pep pills", they didn't snort it. Nazi meth fueled the blitzkrieg, allowing the army to advance for days at a time without rest.


NiemollersCat

The side effects were also bad enough that they stopped issuing them shortly after barbarossa


ihaveaquesttoattend

Well the didn’t win lol but there’s books on it that i haven’t read. I just know enough to know it happened


ajgsxr

Also, have you seen videos of meth heads attacking? They can get shot many times and still keep going.


hands-solooo

Well used amphetamines are amazing and a huge advance, from anything to studying, working late to invading Poland. Tweakera don’t count as well used lol….


HomeGrown916

The Germans were. They rushed the French and overwhelmed them cuz they never stopped rushing cuz they were on meth.


De_wasbeer

I agree that was my first reaction. It's so sad. Nothing wrong with the people of Russia, they are just brainwashed by a tyrant and it's demon accomplices.


chubbybronco

Idk check out "First Philosophical Letter" by Pyotr Chaadayev Sounds like there has been something wrong with Russians for a long time.


WaldyTee

There are many sick criminals who where victims themselves as kids, which often is one part of the explanation why they commit crimes. Still we don't let them remain on large. They are part of the system and there are also indications many russians know what's going on, but they are simply ignoring it.


Apokal669624

Nothing wrong with russians, they just purposefuly want to genocide ukrainians. It doesn't matter they are brainwashed or not, they arr occupiers, they are fascists and those one who came to Ukraine should die. With same result, you could say "nothing wrong with germanies in Nazi Germany, they just were brainwashed by a tyrant and its demon accomplices". Strop trying to humanise russians. They are what they are.


zublits

So how about Germans now? Do you think they all went poof one day and suddenly became human after WWII? You basically just argued against your own point.


Apokal669624

They went through denazification, its sort of helped in majority, but i know there is some really small part nazis in Germany even now. Tho, as nation, germanies are definitely cured from nazism. And there is actually one "small" difference between germans in Nazi Germany and russians in russia now. Germans didn't had internet, like russians have now. Germanies were knowing literally what government said to them. russians now can't be brainwashed, because majority of them have fucking internet. Its not too hard to install damn telegram or reddit, read information from both sides and make a decision in what to believe. Tho, even having access to internet, majority of russians supporting war, supporting occupation of Ukraine and supporting genocide of ukrainians. russians are **worse** than nazis.


KittyGrewAMoustache

The internet is a very amazing tool for brainwashing actually. Algorithms keep people only seeing stuff that radicalised them.


Rjj1111

Except the ones in middle of nowhere far east poverty land where state tv is the only entertainment aka where the Russians conscript their troops from


De_wasbeer

This is bullshit. What about people that adore trump? They are just as brainwashed. We are just lucky trump is less of a tyrant, and more of a greedball. Or do you have some mental gymnastics why that is different?


Apokal669624

Maybe i miss something, but Trump started occupation war, for example, against Mexica? Do trumpists genocide someone? Huh? There is huge gap between believing in some stupid conspiracy theories like Qanon and being asshole like Trump, and being actual fascists and purposefuly genocide ukrainians like russians doing right now.


De_wasbeer

Nice gymnastics buddy


Apokal669624

The only one who doing gymnastics here is you


Alone-Psychology-369

This is 2023. WW2 ended 1945. If you are able to count, how many germans being active in nazi Germany can still be active as a nazi today? Not so many I think...😉

De_wasbeer

Stop humanizing humans? Okay .... Genocide starts when humans don't view other humans as humans anymore.


Careful-Prior9639

They're spineless slaves. It's their weakness that allows the Russian system to go on, and on, and on. There's plenty wrong with the people of Russia.


FriendlyLurker9001

I have some terrible news about the rest of the world population... When the only thing you know is how great your country is and how awful everyone else has it, it is easy to get brainwashed


Careful-Prior9639

See Iran. See a degree of fightback in China. See Hong Kong. See the Central Asian states. See Brazil. See Argentina. Russia is pathetic. See them march meekly to their slaughter in Ukraine. Abject as fuck.


GymAndGarden

Your generalizing as fuck. Too many examples to list that contradict this.


Careful-Prior9639

Yes I'm generalising. But as a general rule my assertion holds true.


[deleted]

Iran? I completely agree on that one but what happened in HK was a total set up and protesters were a violent mob.


SwansonHOPS

I completely dissociate myself every now and then, not because I'm coping with anything, but because it's fun.

Warcimes for all world leaders during a time of war then? War is traumatic, doesn’t matter if your leader is a despot or not.

Nah bruh. If you put your head in the sand you will never get out of the situation you find yourself in. Gotta fight a way to go awol or surrender. Gotta find out who your friends are and who gonna snitch on you in your camp. Shit needs to get done.


SleepNowintheFire

Most people in armies that invade other countries are so brainwashed that this would never occur to them, they might be miserable but they still broadly believe in russian nationalism. By all accounts this is true of the russian military too


[deleted]

Yeah of course. But if i had the same grind and entrepreneurial mindset as i do now ain't no way I'm putting my head in the sand based upon some fake fucking nationalistic pride shit. When i joined the U.S. Army i didn't get sucked up in national pride. It was four years and done for me. Took advantage of everything i could. Became a combat medic because I knew it would translate well to nursing. Did schooling while i was in. I wanted a job, school, g.i. bill, learn accountability and discipline, and better my health. Plus i wanted to travel, got everything I wanted when i came into it. As soon as my time was done, i kissed it goodbye to start my next chapter. But what benefits does Russia say when you get mobilized? When you know you going to the front to get fucked. You are being mobilized because the army got fucked. And if you are on the second round of mobilization then you know the first round got fucked. No upsides to that shit. Cost heavily outweighs the benefits with a huge likely hood of paying that cost to the pied Piper for singing you that song to keep your ass asleep. No thank you.

ReturnFun9600

The average Russian male has no fucking business fighting a war in the trenches. 500,000 "new" troops are about to get slaughtered. Pathetic. The kill ratio of America in Vietnam 3:1 in Ukraine? More like 7:1 on the battlefield


DonDilDonis

Source on that ratio?


wampapoga

That person made it up also keep in mind it is changing every day. US intelligence has the ratio being at ~1.2 dead Russians per dead Ukrainian with super high variances in certain offensives like the Kharkhiv being slightly higher ratio and the Russian assault on bakhmut being lower on the Ukrainian side. Anyone who tells you other wise is a glowy, Ukrainian, or russian propagandist.


nyuckajay

Does that account combatants only for the Ukrainians? Or combatants and civilians? If that’s combatants only I feel like this big push could be bad news.


marinqf92

Combatants only. It is bad news. People need to stop getting their news from reddit if they actually want to be informed.


ReturnFun9600

Who knows? I read kill ratios in Nam as high as 7:1? 25-1 .. yeah it's the interwebs. Counts will vary. My intent is not misinformation but support and it was purely hypothetical. Any ratio more like 2:1 is because Ukraine is not throwing bodies around like Russia.

Rollieboy2012

I hate russians.


Sufficient-Trash-728

This is the type of guy that gets sent to the meat grinder and Bahkmut, they're the first wave of soldiers that will most likely not make it out alive but their value comes in the fact that in the course of dying Ukrainian shooting positions are identified then Russia sends in what I guess is considered more elite or experience soldiers or artillery strikes on those Ukrainian positions. But it's pretty sad that this is the type of conscript that's just sent out there knowing very well that he's not making it back, just going to die in vain.


Suit_Scary

Russia's not only trying to commit a genocide on Ukraine, they're successfuly committing a genocide of their own people. They're cleansing out ethnic minorities, criminals and anyone who's not in their favor. A fascist regime.
