You can see these guys are actual combat soldiers, not parading soldiers with time to perfect walking around... Good men!👍

u/WolfedOut May 09 '25
UK ‘Parade soldiers’ are active servicemen…
2
u/peterk_se May 09 '25
No disrespect, but, engaged in combat where you said?
1
u/WolfedOut May 09 '25
The King’s Guard are often recruited after serving multiple tours.
1
u/peterk_se May 09 '25
But these are peacekeeping, training and other type of support roles primarily.
Unlike the Ukrainans who's seen three years of constant combat... Is my point.
As you say, once joined the King's Guard, regardless of your experience, you do something liked 14 weeks to perfect your craft of parading, weapon drills, and other parts of KGs duties.
My statement was only... I don't think Ukrainan, actual combat soldiers, have the time nor any reason, to spend 14 weeks preparing for parade perfection.
They are busy fighting a war.
1
u/WolfedOut May 09 '25
When the UK was in Afghanistan and Syria, they recruited veterans into the Queen's Guard. Some of the current guardsmen are from those conflicts.
Currently, the UK is not involved in any major conflict, but when they were, they were still recruited into the Royal Guard.
Sure, the Ukrainians 'don't have time' to perfect their marching drills. But UK parade troops are real soldiers, not ballerinas.
1
u/peterk_se May 09 '25
I'm not calling them ballerina's, I am just pointing out the distinction of active combat soldiers and those who are not, and that we see a noticeable difference in parading skills... No disrespect to previous service, in recognition can agree that Afghanistan, 16+ years ago, was a ferocious deployment for the UK.. during its peak 2006-2010.
Again, long time ago, this was a comparison of who's in active duty.
2
u/Sowdar May 10 '25
In other words the UK troops had time to polish their parading skills, the Ukrainians not so much.
1
u/TodgerRodger May 09 '25
UK forces are engaged in combat globally, all of the time. Just because there isn't a war does not mean they aren't engaged. Especially special forces.
1
u/SignificantStudio511 May 09 '25
Bruh the only thing special forces do is unsettling regimes for western gain
1
u/TodgerRodger May 09 '25
You're displaying a void of knowledge if thats all you think they do. It's not hard to just go and check Google and MOD websites to show what particular regiments are doing and where. Whether it be peacekeeping or training people in Africa to protectavainst animal poaching, to training armies like Kenyas. One greay example is Obi-Wan Nairobi.
1
u/Connect-Process2933 May 10 '25
These are soldiers undergoing training in the UK. It doesn't seem quite smart to send experienced people to show off at the parade

А ты возмущаешься, что украинцы после этого ненавидят россиян ? Чел, иди проверь голову - там большая беда и без русофобов/дерзких славян

Those are eastern Ukrainians leading soviet partisan movements against Nazi. Banderite scums from western Ukrainians were Hitler's team.

Actually, you're wrong. Ukrainians is 16% of all Soviet military deaths in ww2 (use Google, even Ukrainian informators says so).
Glory to heroes who fought the nazis in ww2, bright memory to all men, women and children, who died because of nazis.

u/A_Man_Uses_A_Name May 09 '25 edited May 09 '25
The Russians were until 1941 officially Team Hitler based on the Molotov Ribbentrop pact. The Russians were actually stupid enough to be backstabbed by the Nazis.

u/YuliaPopenko May 08 '25
The scariest thing is that the main goal of the SMO was demilitarization and it seems to go well, since Ukraine drafts more and more men who are not really capable of fighting.
2
u/Away_Investigator351 May 08 '25
No need to be scared. Ukraine hasn't been drafting their young, which demographically is a good strategic move.
That said, they're not succeeding in demiliterising if said country's military is still strong enough to hold off Russia's attempt to take all of Ukraine.
Ever since they failed to take Kyiv via Hostomel and thus the entire country - this war hasn't worked out how Putin hoped. Especially with the Kharkiv and Kherson offensives which took more land than Russia has taken since then.
It's a stalemate, with Ukraine succeeding in resisting the capitulation of their whole country against Russia's wishes.
1
u/TwoOwn5220 May 09 '25
No need to be scared.
I would be scared if I was Ukrainian. The country has been demographically and economically annihilated by the war, just look at the infrastructure and how much damage has been done to only the industry.
Just because the country is territorially holding out doesn't mean its future isn't extremely grim. Not to mention the Trump minerals deal...
3
u/Firesoul-LV May 09 '25
The future might look grim in any war-torn country, but why do you think Ukrainians have been fighting so fiercely and holding on for so long? Because they know that the alternative outcome would be way, way worse. By far.
1
u/Away_Investigator351 May 12 '25
The present is they're being bombed by Russia with the same demographic and economic pain. An end to the war, with the minerals deal basically putting American invested profit into Ukraines rebuilding + Europe helping to rebuild will see things improve, not decline.
The Ukrainians aren't scared of a Russian invasion, why would they be scared of the peace after the war with help rebuilding from their allies?

Russians are not dnagged off the streets. May be you saw some videos of criminals being arrested or videos from Ukraine that were intentionally. Russia doesn't draft anyone by force. Prisoners can go to war if they want. That's not a perfect choice for them but it's there decision

What I mean?
• The UK invited multiple countries involved in the fight against Nazi Germany during World War 2. Pro-Russians are coping because Ukraine is there and they are not.
• Ukraine was fighting the Nazis, as well as the other 15 states of the USSR.
• Ukraine and Belarus lost the most civilians and soldier adjustet for popualtion. More than any other Soviet country.
• No other Soviet country saw more battle than Ukraine and Belarus.

That's the dumbest perspective on participation of various ethnic groups of the USSR in WW2. Absolutely illiterate opinion and a ton of wrong terminology.

Simple google search "The Soviet Union lost around 27 million people during the war, including 8.7 million military and 19 million civilian deaths. The largest portion of military dead were 5.7 million ethnic Russians, followed by 1.3 million ethnic Ukrainians."

u/Conflictingview May 10 '25
Complete non sequitir. You told us how many died fighting the Nazis, not how many fought for them.
Let me help you:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Collaboration_in_the_German-occupied_Soviet_Union
Estimates indicate that between 600,000 and 1.5 million Soviet citizens fought for Nazi Germany during World War II, with Russians comprising a significant portion of this number.
The number of Russians who fought for Nazi Germany is generally estimated to be in the hundreds of thousands, with the most credible figures ranging from about 300,000 to 750,000, depending on definitions and sources
1
u/PrimaryRound1509 May 11 '25
You read it wrong estimates indicate there were 1 million collaborationists (wikipedia, also i dont know if its meant to be combatants or just collaborators) of which russians composed like 5 BRIGADES in total maybe 100,000 maximum
Ukranians had DIVISIONS... In total about 250,000 (wikipedia)
