    It’s probably in reference to NATO countries supplying Ukraine with weapons on the provision they are not used in Russian territory. This meme is potentially implying that NATO shouldn’t care about a direct war with Russia.

    The reason it would be using LOTR is because DAE Ruzzians is orcs?

    But don’t worry, this time the racism against the enemy is justified since they are inherently different, and not even european. They have a completely different outlook on death, and don’t value their own or each other’s lives. Also the same with China.

        Maybe, but this meme is clearly in reference to the restrictions on supplied weapons to Ukraine. The LOTR link I might be reading into a bit much, but the prevalence of the term orc and the trotting out of the Asiatic horde trope made me primed to see it in this.

      That’s not true, they value the life of a Russian to the equivalent value of a Lada.
