Ukraine invasion memes and viral content

[Fez909]

Not about this war, but found this amusing in a thread about Russia incompetence:

During winter war soviet general hears someone shouting from wood - "One finnish soldier is better than ten soviet". Angry general sends ten man to deal with annoying Finn. After short period of shots and dying soviets screams, comes another shout - "One finnish soldier is better than hundred soviet". General sends hundred soldier and again none of them comes back. Then general hears third shout - "One finnish soldier is better than thousand soviets". Furious general sends thousand man to deal with him. This time one of his soldiers manage to survive and reports to general - "Sir, please don't send more our troops, it's a trap, there's two of them".

Fake Kim Jong Un and fake Putin help fake Zelensky flee Ukraine.

How this fake Kim Jong Un helped a Zelenskyy impersonator to flee Ukraine, with the help of pretend Putin

While the real Kim Jong Un heightened international tensions with an apparent ballistic missile test, his impersonator has been doing intercontinental humanitarian work, including helping the Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy's lookalike flee the Russian invaders.

George Galloway is not very happy with twitter.

Spoiler: Screen grab for those that don't see tweets appear.

Totally. But people should have the option I believe.

Especially as sometimes kids may be looking over shoulders.

Pink Floyd release first new song in 28 years to benefit Ukraine: Stream

"Hey, Hey Rise Up!", featuring vocals from Andriy Khlyvnyuk, will be released on Friday.

Nice one.

Here is the official video for 'Hey Hey Rise Up', Pink Floyd’s new Ukraine fundraiser feat Andriy Khlyvnyuk of Boombox. Stream / download from midnight at http://pinkfloyd.lnk.to/HeyHeyRiseUp 'Hey Hey Rise Up', released in support of the people of Ukraine, sees David Gilmour and Nick Mason joined by long time Pink Floyd bass player Guy Pratt and Nitin Sawhney on keyboards, all accompanying an extraordinary vocal by Andriy Khlyvnyuk of Ukrainian band Boombox. All proceeds go to Ukrainian Humanitarian Relief.

The track uses Andriy’s vocals taken from his Instagram post of him in Kyiv’s Sofiyskaya Square singing ‘Oh, The Red Viburnum In The Meadow’, a rousing Ukrainian folk protest song written during the first world war. The title of the Pink Floyd track is taken from the last line of the song which translates as ‘Hey, hey, rise up and rejoice’. The video for ‘Hey Hey Rise Up' was filmed by acclaimed director Mat Whitecross and shot on the same day as the track was recorded, with Andriy singing on the screen while the band played.

Gilmour, who has a Ukrainian daughter-in-law and grandchildren says: “We, like so many, have been feeling the fury and the frustration of this vile act of an independent, peaceful democratic country being invaded and having its people murdered by one of the world's major powers”. Speaking about his hopes for the track Gilmour says, “I hope it will receive wide support and publicity. We want to raise funds and morale. We want to show our support for Ukraine and in that way, show that most of the world thinks that it is totally wrong for a superpower to invade the independent democratic country that Ukraine has become.

The artwork for the track features a painting of the national flower of Ukraine, the sunflower, by the Cuban artist, Yosan Leon. The cover of the single is a direct reference to the woman who was seen around the world giving sunflower seeds to Russian soldiers and telling them to carry them in their pockets so that when they die, sunflowers will grow.

After threats of legal action, Twitter have removed "Russia state-affiliated media" from Galloway's profile and updated accordingly.
