Russia has dropped a new social media campaign to recruit more men into its military. The ad appears to mock men into leaving their everyday jobs to become 'real men' by joining the military. CNN's Clare Sebastian has more details. #CNN #News
‘Be a real man’: New Russian ad appears to mock men into joining Putin’s military
Yea while the leaders hide in bunkers
@E L Δ T E nope definitely not zelenski! He’s REAL.
Exactly Putin hiding
“be a real man… accept your death without dignity. you won’t get trained well or have the best equipment, but it’ll make dear leader happy!”
@Nick Broughton * supreme leader, gonna have to report you to the fsb for that slip up comrade😂
American soldier died without dignity in lot of wars they got into
Vietnam, Iraq, Kuwait, Afghanistan
If u were drafted, you would know, u soft m/f
Reminds me of a friend who smoked Camel cigarettes. He used to say anyone can quit smoking. Real men fight cancer! Same logic.
Be a real man. Hunker down in a bunker in the Kremlin, sit behind 40ft tables, and only visit troops with no notice, like a thief in the night, or even use a body double.
Good one
You forgot “ride on an armored train” becuz you’re scared of being attacked while traveling
Russian Advert for recruitment “Be a real dead Man, join the Russian Military”
And the American military recruitment ad is be a man by becoming a woman
@mas0ncain well, that’s creative.
@Mas0n Cain do you have a link for a video like that. Or is this something you are just making up? It’s not that hard to find out what American military recruitment videos are like.
Lots of people in here saying this is great recruiting would never sign up for the military themselves. I’d bet my life savings on it.
@Ver Coda I commented on this like 10 minutes after they uploaded it. Those comments are surely buried.
@Green Bay Fair. Very fair. Why not join them? I don’t want to fight in a war also not from Ukraine, not my country.
How to scream desperation into the sky, without actually screaming desperation into the sky.😂
Russia’s definition of Real Men = Cannon Fodder 😎
@John Doelol nothing like Iraq.
Reminds me of a friend who smoked Camel cigarettes. He used to say anyone can quit smoking. Real men fight cancer! Same logic.
Ukraina is Superman like US cannot dead because Rusia weapon 😁😁😁
It is more apply to ukrainian army they send in fight people after only few days training. That is really cannon fodder. And that is why troops loses ratio is about 1 to 4-5 in favor of russian side.
You sound like you have 2 dads and your name is Emma 😂😂😂😂
I saw that recruitment advertisement differently. I read that as, regardless of occupation… you will be mobilized.
@Просто я Yea, so what about this video? Oh, it’s not mobilisation? Okay? I don’t really know, but in all honesty wouldn’t be surprised if Volodya decides to start mobilising again, if this ad campaign doesn’t do wonders. Tho, are there any people left to mobilise, especially kids?
@Просто я round 1 ended in October*
I’m here to comfort wives of Russian taxi drivers, if need be.
Reminds me of a friend who smoked Camel cigarettes. He used to say anyone can quit smoking. Real men fight cancer! Same logic.
@Просто я correct. Around two is coming up very quick. You and your friends will be called up in this around lol
Real men can’t be made to feel obligated to kill or die for anyone.
@William Springer yeah those were weak-minded men (except for the ones force-conscripted)
Reminds me of a friend who smoked Camel cigarettes. He used to say anyone can quit smoking. Real men fight cancer! Same logic.
I’m pretty sure they don’t care whether they recruit real men or not. As long as their flesh and bones can stop a bullet or two so they can advance another couple of feet.
Real men sacrifice.
Wouldve been funny if the guy threw down a Bud Light & marched to the local recruiting office😂😂😂
My husband likes your name brah.
@Gene Reniker And quiche!
😂
LMAO
The sad thing is, a lot of Russian men will no doubt think to themselves “they’re right!”…
Most Americans would too
@Mike Wehr lmao yeah the rural kind no doubt
The only true measure of a man dying over a pointless war.
A real man loves his neighbor. Nothing good comes out of war and killing others.
You should have seen the Wagner PMC ad from a few months ago. “Contract with the Company. Contract with the Motherland…We know we are going to Hell, but in Hell we will be the best.” Heck, with a line like that I’d have probably signed up 25 years ago…
Yeah that is a preeetty good line I have to admit.
he didn’t say “Be a real man”… he said “Are you a man – be one”
What makes me concerned about the “real man” ad is how well it might actually work.
I find myself thinking about stories like _The Four Feathers,_ a British novel from 1902, where the main character was essentially peer-pressured to go to war. From what I understand, in the novel, things work out in the end, but that’s not the world in which we live, is it?
It’s worth noting that this happened in real life quite a lot during this time period, and the shaming feathers were doled out primarily by women (Jessie Pope being a famous one who encouraged the practice, and the famous poem Dulce et Decorum Est was written as a direct response to her.) It is a sad but rarely acknowledged fact that toxic masculinity wouldn’t be nearly so common if it weren’t in such high demand by a certain subset of the female population. Most guys care about impressing women far more than they do other guys.
@Vigil AnteIn the novel The Four Feathers, the protagonist Harry Feversham is censured (for refusing to go to war) by three of his comrades who give him white feathers as a symbol of cowardice, and one white feather from his fiancee, I don’t know if the movie version changed this, ultimately in the story he is redeemed and proven worthy and wise, its just a story though. Nothing to do with the negative effect of female influence, just a device to prove how he even won back his fiancees love coz he was so cool.
I see these all the time for our U.S. Air Force, Navy, National guard, Marines. Every other time I scroll on my phone there’s some kind of join the military ad so kinda cringe they’re even trying to poke at it. This specific case though for this specific military operation they might as well transform into a melted clump of bones and skin.
0:18 Real men also bench more!! than almost “just the bar” that the Russian guy is lifting 😂
The world is loving this!! 🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦
As an American, I find it hilarious that other westerners are trying mocking this out of fear lol.
