How pathetic does Russia have to be to be bringing NORTH KOREAN troops into the war. It would be laughable if it wasn't so tragic.

What's pathetic about it? Cannon fodder is cannon fodder. They can hold a rifle just as well as any other person, and they can use it to kill. Acting like getting foreign troops helping you is somehow beneath you in a war is insane

Sadly, this.

Fictional, but

ONE OUT OF TWO GETS RIFLE. THE ONE WITHOUT, FOLLOWS HIM! WHEN THE ONE WITH THE RIFLE GETS KILLED, THE ONE WHO IS FOLLOWING PICKS UP THE RIFLE AND SHOOTS!

Is this fictional? I thought that this was actually true from the Social Union in WWII. Maybe in the battle of Stalingrad?

Probably my third favorite Jude Law roll.

1 and 2 are?

I would say his character in A.I. would be my second favorite. Maybe not the greatest film, but he did a great job in his role. #1 would definitely be I ♡ Huckabees. Such a great movie, and great cast too.

I'm just saying there isn't anything further down in the barrel.

Its TAU TACTICS!

LIKE KROOT! with significantly less survival rates and effectiveness which is damn impressive

Also the Norks cant eat their enemies and gain their traits, at least I think they cant. Can I setup a test site? I just need a Nork, a MAGA, and a hacksaw.

You don't want that. A MAGA Nork would become he next Republican nominee

Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.

Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
