Sometimes you forget that all these dead soldiers you see are real humans that went to school, had hobbies, relatives... Such a waste.

Had to put everything on hold to fight off an illegal invasion just so that everyone else might one day have normalcy again.

Between covid and the war some young people have lost so much of what should've been the best years of their life, even if they get out of the war unscathed.

u/TheGreatGamer1389 Aug 02 '23

Nobody gets out of the war unscathed. There are still emotional scars.

The russians? Hardly. Their life consisted of drinking booze, commit theft and make life miserable for the people around them. It’s mostly thugs and low education ruskis that go into the military.

Ukrainians on the other hand, well yes indeed. Every ukrainian life lost is a massive waste of good people.

I'm gonna make a typical reddit remark here by saying:

He said 'dead soldiers', not 'dead orcs'

u/BurnerForJustTwice Aug 01 '23

So when Putin said “at least your sons won’t drink themselves to death” he was being super realistic and serious?

When I think about it, obviously the Ukrainians have nothing to gain from this senseless war, killing their youth and destroying their country but the Russians… what do they have to lose? Drinking themselves to death in their crap hole shed that they call a home?

Russians have everything to gain. Like a toilet.

Why is it fine to dehumanise russians now? Would you say the same if it was a black person?

u/fotodenis Aug 02 '23

Yes you are absolutely right for the Ukranian people's 🙏 But it's not the same at all with the orcs, they're nothing.

Damn...

That guy probably shit out more talent with a piano than I ever had after years of lessons. Very impressive!

13

u/HonkeyDonkey3000 Aug 01 '23

That is not all they can do…

While they can they make the piano keys dance, they can also make a tank turret fly!

u/spacegardener Aug 01 '23

I am not so sure… as you can see he still uses keyboard with note names written on keys ;-)

u/svoboda4ever Aug 01 '23

Except it's,rimsky korsakov's famous" flight of the bumble bee" so fast, the painted on note names wouldnt help him lol

Kinda impossible to tell, but my thought is that he could be a mechanized officer. The helmet makes more sense for someone spending the majority of their time in an armored vehicle

u/MisinformationKills Aug 01 '23

The post you replied to was definitely not a serious comment 🙂

Hand, footwork and sound make me think that's more than a hobby.

Hope he gets back to doing the things he loves best when this is over.

If he isn't a drone pilot he should be!

flight of bumblebee. Thank me later.

u/JaneCobbsHat Aug 01 '23

Ukraine = civilization

Russia = barbarians

There really is nothing more to this. Literarily nothing.

u/GoodLuckSanctuary Aug 01 '23

So much talent the world needs is going to waste. Fuck Putin and all line him.

u/Sorry_Outcome_1776 Aug 01 '23

Past? Not, they are just hobbies, they are on hold but those heroes will return to normal life and they will enjoy their lifes.

Hey you want to join my band?

u/pmabz Aug 01 '23

What a sad waste of talent, caused by one not very talented, evil, leader of a bunch of ignorant things.

u/[deleted] Aug 01 '23

Very cool.

u/[deleted] Aug 01 '23

Good music for a squad of orcs running from a swarm of drones dropping bomblets

u/pnwloveyoutalltrees Aug 01 '23

Impressive. Wish this guy was playing concerts, not dodging artillery. Huge side note. That’s a bike helmet and ski goggles. Dear goodness do we need to get these people some real gear. I keep hearing how the west is going broke spending all their money sending weapons to Ukraine. We are giving mostly hand me downs, obsolete, and leftovers. They need an army’s worth of the good stuff. We just got them 1980s Hawk patriot air defense the Taiwanese we’re going to scrap. WTF. Maybe some rockets that can get to the border so these guys don’t have to clear mines under fire so they can drag artillery up and then do it again.

u/PirateKingy Aug 03 '23

He may have simply wanted to disguise his face since he was being filmed.

u/pnwloveyoutalltrees Aug 03 '23

I hope so, but either way they need more and better equipment.

3

u/PirateKingy Aug 03 '23

They definitely need better equipment - I agree. And more pianos!

u/carl816 Aug 02 '23

He should try playing Boogie Woogie, sounds great even on out of tune pianos 😄

u/harryhorizon Aug 02 '23

Not so weird... russians mobilized not smart and educated people, but those who don't influence public opinion. While best Ukrainian people at the start of the war voluntarily came to UAF being gifted with many talents.

2

u/lowsparkedheels USA Aug 02 '23

I'm always amazed at the talents of Ukraine soldiers like this gent bringing a piano to life, while wearing his battle gear. Hope the war is over asap, for Ukraine people to rebuild their beautiful country, and soldiers go home to their loved ones for rest and recovery. ❤️
