The translation has been intentionally skewed to depict it as though its purpose is to entice vulnerable taxi drivers into a deadly conflict against the Ukrainian army. The accurate translations are as follows: 1. Scene with the guard in the grocery store - "Is this truly the image of a defender you had envisioned for yourself?" 2. Scene at the gym with a bodybuilder ensuring you don't injure yourself while lifting minimal weight - "Is this truly the extent of your strength?" 3. Scene with the nighttime taxi driver - "Is this really the path you had aspired to choose?" 4. Scene of leading the squad in full army gear - "You appear to be a man. Therefore, be a man."

[@Lobos222]

They have the Z symbol. That is post Ukraine war so cut the crap.

[@Temerator1]

What war? Are you referring to a special military operation? A war typically aims to obliterate another nation, much like what Ukraine, Joe Biden and NATO seem to pursue. Russia has deployed 690,000 contractors in Donbas to counter what they perceive as NATO's expansion by converting all Ukraine's regions into anti Russian establishment with Western values, such GMO Monsanto, Westinghouse Electric nuclear fuel stations, Black water, BlackRock and LGBTQAI. One may say "Oh, its their right to choose". Well not in Ukraine which consists out of Russian lands and Slavic brothers. Before 2022, Donbas stood alone in resisting Kiev's Nazism, which sought to impose Ukrainian identity through figures like Bandera while enforcing a ban on the Russian language and eliomination of Russian held businesses including land ownership and seize of property. If this was indeed a war, it might resemble the Israel-Gaza conflict. Their profound animosity stems from having nothing in common, resulting in Israel showing little mercy in civilian casualties, unlike the situation in Donbas. For Russians, this doesn't align with their concept of war. However, for the Kiev bunker clown and his loyalists it feels like a dire conflict, with the threat of opposition forces looming large. Zelenski, born in Krivij Rih (Crooked Horn), claims Jewish heritage but was never converted and predominantly spoke Russian throughout his life, but now acting as if he is a true Ukrainian. Acting is all that he learned to do.
