USA: Meet Emma and her two moms - Karen and Emily.
Russia: Meet Yuri and his two moms - his mother and motherland.

Better than the US military's ads 1000%

No gays or transgenders.
Well this actually looks like a military recruitment ad, unlike crap from US...

I served in the russian army when I was 19 years old. That was in 2014. Best time of my life. I have never been so physically strong and mentally calm.

[sipioc]

I feel more inspired to join with this kind of recruitment over the “two mom’s” cartoon.

[Azzam_Alqudsi]

honestly still better than the US's recruitment ads

[overhaul]

Better than US ads that's for sure

[Richard-ilnu]

Not even Russian and that made me want to join them.

[braudygonzalez]

If I was Russian I would join the army after watching that advertisement.

[johnkolody]

Way better than the WOKE recruitment ads.

[Insertnamehereplz]

Compared to Americans military commercials this is good

[kalajari]

This goes hard. Russia's got the best military ads

In Russia, even people with non-traditional orientation are treated normally. Putin said it bluntly. Only propaganda is prohibited, the imposition of this on others, and people who have a non-traditional orientation are treated completely normally if they behave adequately. And this is right, because even if you have a traditional orientation and behave inappropriately, then you will not be treated normally. In Russia, they do not divide into categories, division into categories is the way to conflicts

This advert makes me want to join the Russian military, and I'm Ukrainian.

[amonamon]

This ad is absolutely great! It inspires a sense of duty and responsibility. When I watch it, I want to enlist immediately. Definitely way more better than the latest ridiculous cartoon from the US forces!!!

The obvious response by this administration would be to get Dylan to make a TikTok video ad.

[darkhorsegolfgaming]

I hate to say it but it's a good ad for what it is lol
