Vesper 30,301 Posted February 26, 2022 Share Posted February 26, 2022 Ukraine has been taking down street signs and direction markers to potentially confuse Russian invaders. Their digital signs are reading “Go Fuck Yourselves”. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vesper 30,301 Posted February 26, 2022 Share Posted February 26, 2022 (edited) Reply of the Zaporozhian Cossacks https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reply_of_the_Zaporozhian_Cossacks Reply of the Zaporozhian Cossacks depicts a supposedly historical tableau, set in 1676, and based on the legend of Cossacks sending an insulting reply to an ultimatum from the Sultan of the Ottoman Empire, Mehmed IV. According to the story, the Zaporozhian Cossacks (from "beyond the rapids", Ukrainian: za porohamy), inhabiting the lands around the lower Dnieper River in Ukraine, had defeated Ottoman Empire forces in battle. However, Mehmed demanded that the Cossacks submit to Ottoman rule. The Cossacks, led by Ivan Sirko, replied in a characteristic manner; they wrote a letter, replete with insults and profanities. The painting exhibits the Cossacks' pleasure at striving to come up with ever more base vulgarities. Mehmed IV, Ottoman Sultan 1648–1687 Sultan Mehmed IV to the Zaporozhian Cossacks: As the Sultan; son of Muhammad; brother of the sun and moon; grandson and viceroy of God; ruler of the kingdoms of Macedonia, Babylon, Jerusalem, Upper and Lower Egypt; emperor of emperors; sovereign of sovereigns; extraordinary knight, never defeated; steadfast guardian of the tomb of Jesus Christ; trustee chosen by God Himself; the hope and comfort of Muslims; confounder and great defender of Christians – I command you, the Zaporogian Cossacks, to submit to me voluntarily and without any resistance, and to desist from troubling me with your attacks. — Turkish Sultan Mehmed IV The Cossacks' reply came as a stream of invective and vulgar rhymes: Zaporozhian Cossacks to the Turkish Sultan! O sultan, Turkish devil and damned devil's kith and kin, secretary to Lucifer himself. What the devil kind of knight are thou, that canst not slay a hedgehog with your naked arse? The devil shits, and your army eats. Thou shalt not, thou son of a whore, make subjects of Christian sons. We have no fear of your army; by land and by sea we will battle with thee. Fuck thy mother. Thou Babylonian scullion, Macedonian wheelwright, brewer of Jerusalem, goat-fucker of Alexandria, swineherd of Greater and Lesser Egypt, pig of Armenia, Podolian thief, catamite of Tartary, hangman of Kamyanets, and fool of all the world and underworld, an idiot before God, grandson of the Serpent, and the crick in our dick. Pig's snout, mare's arse, slaughterhouse cur, unchristened brow. Screw thine own mother! So the Zaporozhians declare, you lowlife. You won't even be herding pigs for the Christians. Now we'll conclude, for we don't know the date and don't own a calendar; the moon's in the sky, the year with the Lord. The day's the same over here as it is over there; for this kiss our arse! — Koshovyi otaman Ivan Sirko, with the whole Zaporozhian Host Shoulder sleeve insignia of the Ukrainian Army's 55th Artillery Brigade "Zaporozhian Sich" Edited February 27, 2022 by Vesper lucio 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DH1988 1,353 Posted February 26, 2022 Share Posted February 26, 2022 Read this, read that, left, right, Ukraine good, Russia bad. Not enough knowledge on any of it to form an opinion on who is right or wrong in the grander scale.. not that war is right of course.. and you might day well only one side is invading, so I have my answer, I do wonder about the detail though.

NikkiCFC 8,372 Posted February 27, 2022 Share Posted February 27, 2022 (edited) I am afraid this will escalate. Russians bringing TOS-1 and Ukrainians getting 700 Stingers. It will get nasty even more... Edited February 27, 2022 by NikkiCFC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
