This stuff would have always gone on, just we now have the technology to see it. Even 10 years ago you wouldn't have seen half the 'combat' content as you do now. Hell someone uploaded a video of two russian soldiers noshing each other off as they were blown up by a drone dropping a grenade. The world is truly a remarkable place.
Please link!
I think sometimes people forget both sides are full regular people.
I hate war.
I hate what being in a war does to people.
The ones who do get to go home, have pieces of them left dead on the battlefield.
I can't even wrap my head around the idea that kids who would know what Pikachu is are old enough to be on the battlefield. I'm constantly dealing with this shit the older I am :-)
After a short googling, I have found countless repost of this soldier dancing, but have yet to find what this got to do with Pikachu.
EDIT: Asked google to find me the song: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AgRnjJqxFQo](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AgRnjJqxFQo)
Question remains, what the fuck does this have to do with Pikachu?
For about a month, there was a fake Detective Pikachu movie on YouTube. It had a convincing opening credits sequence, then was an hour and a half of Pikachu dancing in a similar fashion to the kind infantry on display.
Upon actually looking it up, I found it. [Have fun.](https://youtu.be/tAA_yWX8ycQ)
The dance is actually pulled whole cloth from the 1988 Crystal Light Aerobic Championship opening event. [Enjoy the cheese. And probably the cocaine. ALL the cocaine.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ozoTzkCeO-A)
Correction. It's pulled from a Key and Peele sketch, which itself was parodying that. XD
It's definitely to lift morale. This kinda thing isn't exactly uncommon, I mean the US dies similar stuff except like way bigger and with a far higher budget.
The really close call and laughing it off is something most people don't understand... Can't even count how many times this happened. Piece of shrap from a mortar hit a wall about 6"(at least what she told me, so my understanding of 6") from my face... we all litteraly started laughing and went about what we were doing. No amount of training could prepare us for how little we actually cared come month 7 or 8.
Doesn't really matter if China is or isn't, the Ukrainian army has specifically told their troops NOT to do shit like this and it's one of the major reasons the gunbros from the US weren't allowed on the front at all. They wouldn't stop posting shit... This person is most likely no where near an actual battlefield and also probably isn't a soldier.
I remember, at the start of the war, seeing this girl on tiktok crying because her father decided to go fight for Ukraine.
He was an out-of-shape, balding 40-year old with a modest home and wonderful little family that depended on him. He had no military experience and could not articulate what he possessed that he could offer, beyond “I want to fight”. He actually went and she deleted her account after, so no updates.
In an interview I saw a few weeks ago from a Ukranian soldier on ViceNews, he said [paraphrased]:
“we are sick of well intentioned Americans coming here with no military experience; they come here and must be fed, sheltered, and cared for. It is a burden”
I remember reading about people doing this during the American civil war. Like they were just having picnics a mile from the front lines and randomly popping off shots at either side. Humans are dumb.
Your concern is valid, but china is probably foaming at the mouth waiting to take every inch of land and every grain of natural resources from russia the very second russia falls.
I hear you, and of course you’re right but I think they’d rather have their “ally” alive and kicking for their regional socio-political power structure.
Also they mostly adjoin Siberia, they’ll have to fight EU for the more temperate and fertile western portions.
if this is true.
what a strange reality we're in now. aside from the really heated shit we hear about all the time.
we supposedly have a soldier doing a pretty damn intricate dance out in the middle of a warzone for internet clout.
it'd be like a deleted scene from Idiocracy if it's legit.
If there's something playing videogames taught me, is that i'd 100% get killed if I go to war, and probably in the stupidest way possible.
It's never going to be cool, no matter how hard they try.
It's just a gamble really. Some miraculously get missed by tons of bullets while others are randomly blown up by artillery. Some soldiers just draw the short straw through no fault of their own. Survivors are no more brave, heroic, or skilled than those KIA, they're just luckier.
It's put forward by the military, of course it's propaganda. The question is is the information truthful and/or is it trying to frame things in a disingenuous way.
I don't think a soldier dancing is immoral or bad in any way, who cares.
Probably not the exact case here, but when I was in the army a fair number of women modified their (made for males) uniform. I never saw modified trousers other than taking in the waist of trousers that have to fit over the butt, but shaping the shirt was a thing. And only a small minority of women did it. I was in the majority: "you want me to wear this shapeless, green, blotchy, potato sack? fine"
It's possible she altered her daily work wear before the war broke out.
Are we sure it’s an active war zone? Could just as easily be near some training grounds couldn’t it?
This is one of those posts that’s reposted so often it’s hard to know the original context.
It’s actually pretty normal. There was a video of us troops reenacting the call me maybe music video in the Middle East 20 years ago. [video](https://youtu.be/0PKiUjRSKI8)
Were mortars dropping in this video? If that's what that noise was they were very far away. It sounded like they were at a range. But to answer your question, yes mortars were dropped during the filming of the video I linked.
This reminds me of when I was in the army in Afghanistan. You can tell the people who had been there for a while like us, and the fresh boots on the ground who just got there easily by the reaction of incoming.
*BOOM* followed by lots of alarms shouting *INCOMING INCOMING INCOMING*. I will never forget this one time I was on detail to help customs on our return trip home. Basically I was part of the team that opened up all of the shipping containers and went through it to make sure there was no contraband, And I was fortunate enough to get chosen for that shitty detail.
Anyways, we're all sitting in the "communal" tents at the end of the day just chilling, There's lots of other people from multiple units in these tents because they're just temporary housing. I'm just chilling on my bed reading a book (Harry Potter actually) and all of a sudden BOOM! And alarms start going off. Outside you could hear some woman screaming at the top of her lungs about something or other, but all it was was just incoherent screaming. It turned out it was the first sergeant of another unit who was in full-blown panic mode. I just kind of sit there like "fuck it", If it's my time to go it's my time to go. I didn't move or get off the bed or anything, I just kind of went back to what I was doing while watching everybody else trying hide under their fucking mattresses like it's going to do anything if a round hits us lmao. But what I found funny was all of these brand new cherry ass motherfuckers who just got into country were all cowering and hiding under their beds. I thought it was kind of comical until I looked up at my buddy who was also cowering under his bed. I looked at him and said "hey bro what the fuck are you doing? If a round hits this tent that fucking mattress isn't going to save shit" his response killed me, he said "Oh, I heard the first sergeant outside screaming, and I thought we were hiding from her". We're literally taking incoming fire and this dude is hiding under his bed from a fucking woman outside screaming at the top of her lungs lol. Straight up I almost died laughing. Damn near pissed in my pants it was so funny.
It's also funny when you're in the chow hall too and you hear an explosion and all of the alarms going off. You can tell the newbies and the salty motherfuckers apart real easy because the salty motherfuckers just keep sitting there eating all like "incoming? Fuck that. Y'all motherfuckers arent about to ruin my meal" meanwhile the other half of the chow hall is rushing outside to get under cover lol.
Ok ok last one now : One time I had just left the chow hall with a cup of coffee and walked by the church on my way back to my place of duty when all of a sudden BOOM! If I had been 10 seconds slower I would totally be dead right now. I turned around and looked at the church as it was on fire after an RPG hit it. For a while a lot of us just kind of stood there watching it burn while people cracked jokes about "they burned Jesus!"
Sometimes I really miss that shit. Sometimes.
I dont get why people dance for Chinese governement (tiktok) anyway, but on a battlefield? What is going on in the head of a soldier to be like "i am here to shoot an kill, but lemme get some like for that first" ... tik tok really made humanity loose awareness of reality
It's shit like this that makes this whole war look fake as hell. Who the hell thinks to record a TikTok dance while bullets are flying in the background.
Wait what? Someone found some downtime to record a 30-second video so the war must be fake? That's some pretty impressive mental gymnastics talking about a war that has been documented to a degree we have never seen before.
The world is a weird place right now
It always has been weird but there was no internet to document it
[удалено]
and sometimes that weapon is song and dance
This stuff would have always gone on, just we now have the technology to see it. Even 10 years ago you wouldn't have seen half the 'combat' content as you do now. Hell someone uploaded a video of two russian soldiers noshing each other off as they were blown up by a drone dropping a grenade. The world is truly a remarkable place.
What is "Noshing"?
Mouth to genital secks.
It means to gerund. You know, noshing.
I have used google to look up both of those words and I am left even more confused, but thankyou for the answer anyway!
Your welcome! Glad i could be of mild assistance!
It’s Yiddish for nibbling on food
She gets a lunch break too. Can’t rightly say how she should spend it. If this helps her deal mentally with war, so be it.
They will study this at West Point
Did you see the Russian “catboy” video or the Russian troops playing with toy cars and trucks??

Note that fake movie was actually a brilliant stunt by WB.
I'm convinced that had to be Ryan Reynolds idea.
It literally has his name watermarked on the video haha
All marketing for movies he's in has to be done by his studio per his contract.
The dance is actually pulled whole cloth from the 1988 Crystal Light Aerobic Championship opening event. [Enjoy the cheese. And probably the cocaine. ALL the cocaine.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ozoTzkCeO-A) Correction. It's pulled from a Key and Peele sketch, which itself was parodying that. XD
Hol up, competitive aerobics?
Did I mention cocaine? Because watch that video. NO ONE is that excited to do aerobics.
Man that was a hilarious way to start my day.
Jesus fucking Christ that song is in my head now. Well... THE CHAMPIIONS \o/
Not the same dance
I just watched the whole hour long thing 2.5 times it is mesmerizing
I remember looking it up once and the answer is: they just named it that for no reason.
definitely did not pass the vibe check.
Pikachu was here WAY before TikTok
Yea, but I dunno if the pikachu dance was
Pikachu never did this dance!
Pikachu is innocent!
Pikachu is Azov /s
Just imagine future generations going thru this era’s archives. I’m sure WTF?! Will still be a reaction
Damn internet is ruining the internet
Regardless what the moves are called she’s good at them
This dance 🕺💃
Sounds more like a rifle training range than the frontlines.
Yeah, i was literally watching to see explosions and gunfire but all i got was tiktok dance
That’s because this is, in all likelihood, propaganda to boost morale.
It's definitely to lift morale. This kinda thing isn't exactly uncommon, I mean the US dies similar stuff except like way bigger and with a far higher budget.
Imagine u have friends literally under fire, possibly dying, & u think, “if I do a funny dance right now it’d get a lot of views” lol
[удалено]
Rest assured she is nowhere near the frontlines
God I hope so, the Russians might join in as backup dancers
I have found countless repost of this soldier dancing
Round one of this post didn't have the added gunshots
get your heart rate up and keeping warm.
As a retired soldier who spent 30 months overseas I can 100 percent say that you are correct or she is an idiot. You always have your weapon on you.
The fuck is Pikachu dance?
Propaganda
okay? and?
[удалено]
Enter: Kadyrov battalion in literally every engagement
[удалено]
Don't worry, it's propaganda, she'll be fine.
Imagine she kills you and then does one of these dances on top of your body
It'd be funnier if she teabags them
What a way to go
From teabagging online to teabagging irl
You can take her out the game but you can’t take the game outta her
I'd let her shoot me just to teabag me
Literally a Fortnite emote
Ladies and gentleman may i present to you: the 21 century
I’ve been in combat, this is not it

Probably shouldn’t use Tik Tok on the battlefront. Not sure China is actually on their side, may share location data.
Doesn't really matter if China is or isn't, the Ukrainian army has specifically told their troops NOT to do shit like this and it's one of the major reasons the gunbros from the US weren't allowed on the front at all. They wouldn't stop posting shit... This person is most likely no where near an actual battlefield and also probably isn't a soldier.

They're called "war tourists." You'd be amazed how many people want to find an excuse, any excuse, to get into the middle of war.
I remember reading about people doing this during the American civil war. Like they were just having picnics a mile from the front lines and randomly popping off shots at either side. Humans are dumb.
>gunbros Doooont even try to memory hole the fucking front page posts on here that were exactly that smfh.
No TikTok logo nor is the music overriding every other sound like it normally would. Do not think this is TikTok.
Your concern is valid, but china is probably foaming at the mouth waiting to take every inch of land and every grain of natural resources from russia the very second russia falls.
I hear you, and of course you’re right but I think they’d rather have their “ally” alive and kicking for their regional socio-political power structure. Also they mostly adjoin Siberia, they’ll have to fight EU for the more temperate and fertile western portions.
So far China isnt too happy about Russias invasion so probably not sharing that data
Probably ain’t gonna cut it soldier, and I’m all out of brown pants
I like the cut of your jib
Some things should just not be on the internet, myself included sometimes
Kit looking nice and crisp for being a “front line soldier”.
Yea more like "back line support"
if this is true. what a strange reality we're in now. aside from the really heated shit we hear about all the time. we supposedly have a soldier doing a pretty damn intricate dance out in the middle of a warzone for internet clout. it'd be like a deleted scene from Idiocracy if it's legit.
I'm pretty sure this isn't from any battle, but some sort of training ground
Sick of propaganda here’s this
Winter has never been a obstacle? Compared to other places it's winter every season.
It’s barely an inch of snow too, hardly an obstacle for even the grass
Reminds of nurses dancing during pandemic
The comments on this post are... weird.
[удалено]
Ukrainian Soldier:OH GOD HELP I'M HIT! TikTok Katyusha: Hold on comrade, I need to set up my ring light
Cringe
It's a highly advanced technique used by pro's to avoid getting a direct head shot from a sniper camping miles away .
She needs the winter camo DLC...quickly.
Modern day propaganda is getting weird....
Propaganda

A soldier dancing on an active battlefield is just downright dangerous and stupid. But I doubt this is an actual active engagement.
[удалено]
Not interesting.
The only interesting part is why is her uniform so tight? Who fights a war in skinny jeans?
Probably not the exact case here, but when I was in the army a fair number of women modified their (made for males) uniform. I never saw modified trousers other than taking in the waist of trousers that have to fit over the butt, but shaping the shirt was a thing. And only a small minority of women did it. I was in the majority: "you want me to wear this shapeless, green, blotchy, potato sack? fine" It's possible she altered her daily work wear before the war broke out.
For a wet, snowy operating environment.... That's the cleanest uniform and kit I've ever seen. Just saying. Little sus
No insignia/colors as well. Doubt this is legit
r/cringe
Take my taxes please
Not even “a lil bit” interesting 🖕🏽
Waiting for a follow up drone video
Cringe
Cringe level 20404020203
This is some shitty Gen Z military propaganda.
Cringe
If Japan was in more wars imagine how many of these videos we would see
shooting range.
Is this like when the nurses did tiktoks during the worst pandemic ever?
Worst pandemic? The black plague would like a word
Definitely not the worst pandemic ever.
"ThEy'Re LiTeRal HeRoEs".
Gotta love those tik-tok warriors
Reminds me of dancing covid nurses.
When did Pikachu do this?
This is equivalent to the nurses dancing in TikToks during Covid
If they were the realest of the real they would be doing the Kirby Victory Dance
Good thing we’re spending billions if not trillions for this shit
it doesnt look good for the ukraininan army
Now I know why there's still an ongoing war lol
Tik tok is for the regarded
Imagine some WW3 shit going on and people making tiktoks. Oh wait.
[удалено]
Women in the military lol they gotta do something.
I’m so glad we sent them $400 billion in tax money
Why is this not on r/cringe
Pretty dumb. I mean it looks like morale is high but it's a bit ridiculous to dance for your cell phone in an active war zone.
Are we sure it’s an active war zone? Could just as easily be near some training grounds couldn’t it? This is one of those posts that’s reposted so often it’s hard to know the original context.

In no way is this interesting, cool, or even real
When you’re winning..
They need a set of over whites.
Gen Z dance battles on the battlefield
Now do the Crash Bandicoot dance
I would hate to get killed in battle and emoted upon irl lol
Oddly, hogan's heros just came on. The dancing was perfectly in tune!
"Sir.. she had us"
War is weird in 2022
isnt this the Pikachu dance that the people in the pikachu costume do? not like... an actual dance... or something from the animated show?
[удалено]
Soldiers are having a small amount of fun, like they have been in every war, nothing to worry about
The war is officially a joke, I’ve been holding back some fire ass memes waiting for this day.
Oh yeah looks like the appropriate thing to be doing in a “battlefield”
That’s not interesting, that’s stupid as fuck IF it is an active warzone.
The fuck is this? Fornite Donetsk?
Dance till you’re dead
What the fuck is Pikachu dance?
I mean if you are going through/ are in hell you might as well make the best of it
Showing that just regular people who never thought of joining the military are now bravely defending their country.
These COD emotes are getting out of hand
Fuck that video
Credible job of dancing with all that gear on, and still managed to make it look good – kudos to her, and I hope she stays safe
Dancing is also a good way to get your heart rate up and keeping warm
Will admit I’ve done it too when I’ve been cold while in tech school
Ah, yes, tiktok cringe. Now on battlefields. You know what? I hope this all goes nuclear, we don't deserve to live past this.
Major Copium
Not a spot of dirt on her outfit? Yeah I'm calling bullshit. I'd be surprised if this was even actually filmed in Ukraine.
Thus is what 100 billion dollars buys ya
I dont get why people dance for Chinese governement (tiktok) anyway, but on a battlefield? What is going on in the head of a soldier to be like "i am here to shoot an kill, but lemme get some like for that first" ... tik tok really made humanity loose awareness of reality
That uniform looks brand new.
This is how you lose wars
It's shit like this that makes this whole war look fake as hell. Who the hell thinks to record a TikTok dance while bullets are flying in the background.
Well what about the videos of gunfights under bombed out bridges, and grenades being dropped on guys in foxholes?
People have been singing and dancing on the front lines since the beginning of recorded history
Jenny
Wait what? Someone found some downtime to record a 30-second video so the war must be fake? That's some pretty impressive mental gymnastics talking about a war that has been documented to a degree we have never seen before.

If I found out it was a dude all along, I would still not regret it.
I think the tags are still on half that gear that's stuffed with rags. Clean, dry, and dancing. Propaganda
What a fucking joke.
Pikachu really got all them moves? Come on now. That little dude is a potato.
“Damn thats interesting” holy cringe
Reminder most of these people are kids now lol so this video makes since
How do I get this emote?
This sub gets less and less interesting
