Look at how thrilled they are to receive their reminder that their sons were sent into a metaphorical meat grinder.

Assuming this is real, this just adds one more thing for Russia to be ashamed of

Near as I can tell, TVPWorld is not a parody news site. It should probably have been posted to NottheOnion instead.

[–] heavydust@sh.itjust.works 11 points 2 months ago

I'm not Polish but I do remember that TVP is a regular TV station.

And people say the Kremlin doesn't have a sense of humor.

[–] Redfox8@mander.xyz 7 points 2 months ago

Just like Netinyahooo gifting Tump a golden pager...bags of laughs them lot!

[–] AmidFuror@fedia.io 32 points 2 months ago (2 children)

Besides asking if it is real, shouldn't we be asking if "meat grinder" carries the same connotation in the Russian language?

[–] Cephalotrocity@biglemmowski.win 32 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

In the articles it describes how the russian politicians responsible are getting flak and trying to backpeddle/cover up the issue so clearly language works here.

Shortly after the start of the conflict, Chechen leader Ramzan Kadyrov gave the families of deceased servicemen sacks of potatoes and onions, along with a bottle of oil.

These Russian politicians look at "those plebs" exactly like how ceos look at workers. Amazing.

[–] doo@sh.itjust.works 6 points 2 months ago

Yes, the word is used for both meanings. I doubt ruskies are using it to describe their tactics, though.

[–] gravitas_deficiency@sh.itjust.works 14 points 2 months ago

Fucking LOL. Holy shit. That’s incredible.

Do not worry. Though we send your husband to meat grinder, we will give you meat grinder as compensation.

[–] Naevermix@lemmy.world 10 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Sounds like bullshit but I believe it.

[–] henfredemars@infosec.pub 3 points 2 months ago

I understand they’re lucky to know the whereabouts at all.

[–] thegr8goldfish@startrek.website 7 points 2 months ago

In former Soviet Russia, gift gets you!

[–] Raijou@lemm.ee 6 points 2 months ago

Satire is dead. What a timeline...

[–] GregorGizeh@lemmy.zip 6 points 2 months ago (2 children)

Guys in the comments: this is a cross post from the onion.

[–] gressen@lemm.ee 12 points 2 months ago (1 children)

The link is from a serious site. If anything it should be posted to c/nottheonion

[–] GregorGizeh@lemmy.zip 5 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Weird that it was posted to the onion then

[–] zabadoh@ani.social 2 points 2 months ago

OP ate the Not The Onion?

[–] TheLowestStone@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

TVP World is a real Polish news organization.

[–] neidu3@sh.itjust.works 4 points 2 months ago

This is only half a degree removed from the mobik cube meme a while back.

[–] tomenzgg@midwest.social 3 points 2 months ago

Thought that was Ellie Kemper in the preview images and was really confused.

[–] ladicius@lemmy.world -3 points 2 months ago

Did trump or musk hand out these trophies?
