Why are Ukrainian cats cuter than normal

Is she carrying a pair of combat scissors?

[–] jumperalex@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Came here to ask the same-ish thing. I'm guessing field medic? Only reason to need scissors at the ready I can think of.

Either that, or the Russians are using some shitty razor wire.

It's just painted string.

[–] jumperalex@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Well if it's just painted string then who needs scissors? You have a cat!

It works in combination with the combat kitty.

Stop utilizing animals for war propaganda. There are lots of animals on both sides and they are all victims of what humans are doing.

It's just a cat pic, guy.

Hypocrite! I checked your account history and found that you have been regularly posting Ukrainian war propaganda. Stop pretending, it´s simply ridiculous. Blocked you for being a liar and a shill.

[–] PugJesus@kbin.social 0 points 1 year ago

You would think if I was trying to make a propaganda campaign out of something I wouldn't have freely admitted to finding them in my 'Ukrainian War' folder, and would have more than three to share. But have it your way - useful idiots always do.

[+] Nacktmull@lemm.ee -16 points 1 year ago (2 children)

It is much more than that. It is very obviously an attempt to use cute animals to raise sympathy for the Ukrainian Army. Everybody likes pictures of cute animals so that is being exploited. For months hundreds of pictures like this have been posted on reddit systematically. If you don´t see the pattern and think that is not an organized propaganda campaign you are simply being naive.

As long as it damages any Russian efforts to justify their unilateral genocide... Bring on the cat pics.

"Organized propaganda campaign"

My guy hanging with animals, pets or former strays, is what bored soldiers do, all the way back to antiquity. Or at least is one of the more family-friendly things bored soldiers do.

[–] damnfinecoffee@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

it's almost like soldiers are human beings just like us, huh wild

[–] Nacktmull@lemm.ee -5 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Nothing wrong with that, I have respect for everyone who is taking care of animals in horrible situations as war. Using photos of it for means of propaganda is a whole different topic though.
