Ukraine invasion memes and viral content

[HAL9000]

This is what happens when you don't use Ukrainian electronics...



The resupply rocket had a radar system which allowed it to dock with the Mir space station, it was called Kurs (docking navigation system)

Kurs (docking navigation system) - Wikipedia

en.wikipedia.org

It was made in Ukraine and Russian didn't want to pay for it, so they tried deleting the system and use something called TORU. You can see the end result.

Spoiler: more detail

Michael Foale was on board the Mir space station when a resupply vessel crashed into it.

Well done Dandred, definitely what we need is more memes likening Ukraine to Israel/Palestine! Can you squeeze some Nazi imagery in there for the full house?

This invasion has really brought home how fucking dogshit the politics of certain lefties is. The half-assed whataboutery on twitter/facey is astonishing. Funny how half of them also fail to mention Syria - that's obviously good old Russian imperialism. Anyway, back to doom scrolling

well there's this, ironically enough from the guardian, does this count?

Nothing makes liberals abandon their values, or their courage, like mentioning Palestine | Arwa Mahdawi

Like Gigi Hadid, my dad is a Palestinian refugee, and I’ve been harassed for suggesting Palestinians deserve human rights

I may have missed something on a brief read, but I think that article is broadly OK.

There's a massive difference between someone with a direct Palestinian connection saying they are against what's happening in Ukraine but that the way it's reported etc is different to the way the Palestine situation tends to be reported, to someone with no real connection to Palestine effectively saying fuck what's happening in Ukraine now, because of the way what's happened/happening in Palestine is often ignored.

Yep I posted it a bit tongue in cheek sorry.

Yeah pointing out the hypocrisy is OK (but should not be the main focus) but some of the stuff I see has a distinct tone of screw the Ukrainians.

I'm maybe being oversensitive but the tone seems to be to level down rather than up I think.

Never realised how well spoken dear Jackie was, but she’s here amongst the other cranks moaning about RT being banned, double standards, media bias etc



Birds of a feather?
