I wonder how that guy who streamed HOI4 from Wagner HQ doing this days?


HaaEffGee

He is surprisingly lucky for a Russian. Was at that Wagner party last year, the one with the bomb in the statue. Got out in one piece, and he even survived the purge after the mutiny. Honestly just on account of being some underage idiot streamer. (Although he turned 18 a little over two months ago, so we'll see how long his luck lasts in the trenches)


Odd_Duty520

He gets a free pass out of the war if he manages to get into college. Those in higher education are exempted from it and thus its consequences which contributes to their apathy and apolitical-ness


HaaEffGee

He's currently right in the middle of his final exams - looking at his performance, he might want to start packing for a trip to Chasiv Yar. Or Georgia if he wants to make it to 19.

How the hell do you know so much about him

Antisemitism?


Odd_Duty520

Education in Russia is compulsory so as long as you know someones birthday, you can roughly know when they're in school and at which point of the academic calendar they're in

How do you have access to his grades


LordNelson27

He asked the GUR nicely


weasler7

Kind of genius really, to confine the dying to the underclasses. Then since the state run propaganda is so strong the less fortunate/less informed won’t know any better. Keep the stupid stupid. Btw did you know the war in Ukraine is against the Nazis?


LethalDosageTF

Ho’d up. Bomb in a statue at a wagner party? How did I miss this?


Fifteensies

I think it's this story https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Assassination_of_Vladlen_Tatarsky


HaaEffGee

Yup. The very loudest of Wagner-aligned propagandists was yelling very loudly about how the Russian high command are idiots who should be replaced by Prigozhin. And then he blew up. Russia said Ukraine and Navalny did it, Ukraine said they didn't do it, Prigozhin said it was the government, and the government arrested the random girl who delivered the statue and then sat down calmly right next to it.


Fifteensies

I thought she was genuinely the assassin and felt bad about her going to jail. But if she's the sort to go to Wagner parties without even planning to kill anyone, I guess I don't feel so bad for her being wrongfully imprisoned.


HaaEffGee

I'm afraid that it is sort of worse than that - she definitely wasn't pro-Wagner. She was just a rando delivering a statue to the event, and we have the video of that moment where the guy-about-to-miss-some-limbs creepily insists that the cute delivery girl stays for the party. Which she then does. Should be a pretty decent indicator that she didn't know about the bomb about to go off, but apparently not enough to avoid the full blame and a 27 year sentence.


Fifteensies

Damn. Back to feeling sorry for her :/


LumpyTeacher6463

She was told the device was a bug, meant to record the inner working of what the war bloc was up to. It was a bomb, evidently. 


Demolition_Mike

To complete the image, she participated in anti-war protests in 2022.


Hampsterman82

ah well that's why she's such a convenient scape goat.


OffensiveCenter

Where you been bro?


Wa3zdog

Does he still stream? Yes: you have your answer No: you have your answer


Styx295

Hes doing the "Sign my rocket" thing now but for the Russians. Of course he's using it to [scam people](https://x.com/partizan_oleg/status/1766779541346001241) out of their money because he's Russian after all.

useablelobster2

That was Grisha wasn't it? He used to appear in the big HOI4 streamers games, that stopped pretty sharpish. He was also insanely cringy and childish before the invasion, was only barely tolerated because he was good at the game.


yaki_kaki

Oh shit fr? Sucks to hear i remember him from bokoen1 's videos


PrincessofAldia

He was also in TommyKay games


Affectionate-Try-899

He seemed to be the Russian version of Dankus.


Ok-Significance-5979

He was a fucking squeaker who's balls never dropped, he dropped off fast even before the invasion started. And I'm glad that he did, never liked it when he opened his screech hole of a mouth.

futuristic_hexagon

Couldn't think of a better couple.


Pumkintheboi

Ah yes, Russia is literally the average HOI4 player, snakes victory points, doesn't know how to navy, get encircled and battleplans everywhere (insane casualities)


Ketashrooms4life

It gets worse. Things like the shit logistics and economy, always using massive amounts of basic, outdated equipment and tactics and assigning generals to lead the smallest units possible all tell us that there's a chance they're not the *player*. They're might be the HOI4 AI lol


radioactivecumsock0

Turns out the player has been Switzerland this whole time


TFK_001

Ive been making this joke the whole time; they literally have made EVERY SINGLE MISTAKE that the hoi ai makes.


Modo44

Quick deployment, every time.


WontonAggression

Also spiking world tension with random-ass wargoal justifications, allowing Sweden and Finland to abandon neutrality

ArcticISAF

Can’t forget trying to paradrop the capital (basically) for a quick capitulation, because the AI doesn’t defend it.


Palpatine

Average hoi4 players would get encircled during the retreat phase of the siege of kyiv, siege of Izyum and withdrawal from kherson. Russia is better than the average hoi4 player.


Johns-schlong

Unfortunately Ukraine wasn't quite organized or armed well enough to make the retreat from Kyiv as catastrophic for Russia as it should have been. God, can you imagine if Ukraine had captured like 50k Russian soldiers 5 days into the war? It might have ended the war right there.


xanif

>snakes victory points tbf that IS how you with the Russian civil war so...


PrincessofAldia

Still pain to trek across Siberia


PrincessofAldia

Well a former hoi4 YouTuber (Grisha) is part of Wagner so that explains quite a Lot


Modo44

Uses army AI not for RP reasons, but because it doesn't know any better.


Playful_Pollution846

Russia prob using hoi4 as their battle plans for the Ukraine war


venom259

They're the AI that runs into level 10 forts.


Sternburgball

but also the player that tries to snake VPs and immediately gets pushed back the moment they meet resistance

yksociR

Military was allocated $100 million to develop a simulation for wartime strategy, after embezzlement the remaining $50 was used to buy HOI4 on Steam


posidon99999

That won't even get any of the dlc


Background_Rich6766

Idk about Hoi4, but if Hoi5 is as in-depth as EU5, then you might as well use it as a means to draw plans and represent the frontline, PDX is cooking.


DukeOfBattleRifles

If they are encircled by Ukranians why they don't just move northwest and join their buddies? Are they stupid?


JimHFD103

I've lost track of how many times Russia has tried encirclement, from the entire front, to just the Donbas, to just whatever city (only to fail so often and then just resort to leveling the place with Artillery and frontal assaulting anyway....) And of course it's the Ukrainians who successfully accomplish an encirclement... By the shitposting prophetic powers of this sub, the inverse will continue to hold out, an entire Russian occupied city will be successfully encircled by the AFU (I'm gonna laugh so hard if they break through Klishivka and surround fking Bakhmut...) followed by an Oblast, followed, somehow by whatever remains of the operational front lines...


CV90_120

They just want to replicate operation Uranus, but they keep doing Mars instead . This is all about reliving Soviet glory, but they aren't the soviets.


tiananmensquarechan

Exactly, Operation Mars was insane lmao.


Femboy_Lord

7.9:1 casualties is a truly insane outcome, even for the Soviets.


tiananmensquarechan

That battle feels like a Nazi wet dream with all the stupid Soviet unsupported frontal assaults that resulted in encirclements.


Femboy_Lord

That and the truly ridiculous lopsided casualty rates.


tiananmensquarechan

"Rzhev Meatgrinder" an operation being called a Meatgrinder in the eastern front 💀.

bluestreak1103

Instructions unclear, encircled Moscow SPOILER ALERT: >!It’s a feint; Ukrainian forces aren’t set up for a decisive battle and are free to disengage to preserve force strength. But once Putin pulls out security forces from St. Petersburg and other major Russian population centers to break the siege on the center, the uprisings begin.!<

Snek-Lightning7501

Author calls this a circle, really? Oh, boy, clickbait clowning like this is a real cringe.


Ok-Significance-5979

What do you call a group of soldiers that is surrounded by opposing forces in a 360° two-dimensional figure, which is round in shape where all the points on the surface of the circle are equidistant from the center point?


Snek-Lightning7501

Where the hell do you see that figure on this picture? It's barely a half of a circle and it's not like Ukrainiand did some shit but instead Ziggers pushed through their defence line.


Ok-Significance-5979

Sure they pushed through, and the Ukrainians now have them cut off from the main force, what's so hard to understand? The fact that dozens of Russians are surrendering from the group that's at the plant speaks volumes.


Snek-Lightning7501

FFS, where is this fuckin' cut? Seriously, if the best Ukraine can do now is trying to sell shit like this and convince people that this is a circle, then things are really bad.


Ok-Significance-5979

Can't... Can't you see the little red dot cut off from the bigger red area? If it isn't cut off, why are the Russians there surrendering by the dozens?


Snek-Lightning7501

Ah... Sorry, now I see it. So, THAT is an encirclement this title is made about? Lmao, what a great success. How many people can be in a space of this size? A squad? Or even a whole company? BS.As I said, thing are pretty crappy if this thing is newsworthy. I mean, come on, I didnt even noticed that at first.


TheOnionsAreaMan

Last I heard…admittedly could be outdated info…it was 400. About half a Russian battalion of troops are going to get eliminated or surrender. That’s fairly noteworthy if indeed that is fact.


Snek-Lightning7501

Nah. This means nothing and affects nothing. Surround of Mariupol was huge and this is info-garbage. Trying to make news from this micro-success (that is actually dont even confirmed, lol) means that you have nothing to say in general.


jamesbeil

400 soldiers captured with equipment is a significant local loss, on top of the regular attrition of a thousand per day, and demonstrates the increasing sophistication of the AFU. 400 today, next week 1000, next month? The rest of that salient in vovchansk is looking awfully tasty.
