We must awaken the Zombeavers to join their ranks. Their destined day has come.
(Hilarious B movie on Netflix, if you want really bad horror)
Can’t believe the Beaver Nation has officially begun sending aid to Ukraine. >

Oregon sends their very best. >

Canada sends a cease and desist letter. >

The Beaver Coalition supports all avenues of support for Ukraine. We are all beavers on this blessed day >

If a division of hokey players take back a village we can only assume Canada is an active participant in the war. >

That sounds like the plot of a made for Canadian TV action movie >

Yes please.
I don't care how bad it is, I'll still watch it. >

You'd think the russian military would know about swampy ground better than most. >

All we thought we knew about the mighty russian military crumbled in the last 11 months. >

I keep hearing this and I want to believe it, but how much longer can they throw citizens at a wall of bullets? >

Well the crazy thing is Putin days could be numbered. He could lose his power base by showering Russia in defeat after defeat in Ukraine. I'm not saying it will happen but if this continues he could be ousted within the year.
But Russia can throw many more I think. We have yet to see any offensive from the partial mobilisation last fall. >

They're using the untrained conscripts as Ukrainian location detectors. Then sending in the trained troops. >

Ukraine has the manpower and willpower to do the meat grinder approach too (at least for a time), as long as the west keeps backing Ukraine i reckon there's basically nothing putin can do short of total war to win. >

Putin was hoping for a red tide in the midterms in America. Now he's hoping he can last until the next elections or somehow find more moles in the dems to vote to end Ukrainian support. Sadly the longer this war is drawn out the more Ukrainians suffer and die. Massive support needs to be piled on Ukraine so that a big move can be made to hopefully end this rather than draw it out. >

Luckily for Ukraine the US isn’t the only one sending weapons. Sure they’re leading, but I’m sure Germany, UK, France, etc would step up even more in that case >

They're not just leading, they're supplying more than the rest of the west combined, including most of the gamechangers (Javelin, HIMARS, soon to be Patriot, etc). It would take a MASSIVE increase in commitment from the rest of NATO to make up for the shortfall if America pulled its support >

I know comparatively Poland has only been a small amount of the aid provided to Ukraine, but when you take the percentage of their national budget being spent to help Ukraine, they lead the pack.
NATO has been way too reliant on the US for too long, so the US ends up doing the vastly larger portion of this kind of stuff, but I always want to acknowledge just how awesome Poland is being through all of this.
And their fellowship towards refugees has been absolutely amazing. >

It’s crazy to think that there is an animal that sees running water and just thinks “well we can’t have that on my watch” >

Actually, beavers have really poor eyesight, so they find running water by sound. If you play a speaker with running water somewhere near a beaver dam, they'll come and pile wood on it until you turn it off. >

So you're saying if I need firewood I can play a water stream sound and they'll bring it to me??? >

As Microtic sat back contemplating his Beaver work force, like a movie running on his eyelids, a smile started to spread over his face. >

"did you build a beaver dam around the sewage treatment plant?" Dumbledore asked calmly. >

Beavers are awesome critters.
A few years ago when Colorado had those massive wildfires. They did some aerial pictures of the affected areas. In the middle of the black trees and ashes were these pockets of green. There were the areas the beavers had settled. 
Because they had damned up the creeks, it caused all those areas to get marshy and resist the fires that raged around them. >

That was so bad. I moved to northern CO two weeks before the Cameron Peak fire started. It got within 4 miles of us at the end. The sky would be almost pitch black in the middle of the afternoon from smoke. For those out of the loop, this was Colorado's largest recorded wildfire at almost 220,000 acres. The only thing that stopped it was a freak, massive early season snowstorm. It was the most apocalyptic looking thing I've ever seen in my life
Edit:  Here are some pics I took of it.  Both were snapped sometime in the middle of the afternoon.  Pic1.  Pic2 >

I live in Southern Oregon and we get some terrible wildfires here too. When they are really close and really big, it looks like Modor outside. The sky is dark at  noon, smoke gets in everywhere, there is an orange glow at night and burning embers fall from the sky.   Most mornings you wake up and your car looks like it snowed but its a thick layer of ash. >

The fuck going on up there in Oregon? Crazy to hear others talk about what would seem like the end of the world for my region so nonchalantly. >

Because wildfires are a yearly thing and 90% of the time, its just smoke in the valleys that looks like fog, smells like a camp fire and its not that big of a big deal. LOL  You just get used to wildfires in the summers. Unless you are in the evac zones for a fire, they are just a minor inconvenience. >

We slap our tails in salute to you, Beaver. >


Shoot the beavers.
Putin >

First they came for the raccoons and I said nothing, because I was not a raccoon. >

Then the L'otters were shoot on sight and I said nothing, because I was not a L'otter. >

Then they started hunting weasels and I said nothing, because I'm not a weasel. >

When they came for the beavers, I was alone with no one left to speak for me. >

If they hurt the Bucees beaver I think we should retaliate with nuclear annihilation >

I was WAITING for this comment. LMAO >

So, the list of military powers in this war looks like this now (in descending order):
1. The AFU
2. Joint Mechanized Farmer Brigade
3. Old ladies with sunflower seeds
4. Beaver corps
5. Russian army (formerly known as 2nd strongest in the world) >

This is starting to turn Ukraine into freaking Pandora. 
Tomorrow’s headline: packs of Ukrainian wolves maul and kill dozens of Russian invaders, sparing nearby Ukrainian soldiers. 
Next day: Ukrainian eagles mysteriously attack Russian/Iranian drones. >

There was already a report of Ukrainian bees disarming a mine by building a hive in it and filling with wax and sap. >

They're soldiers alright >

Beavers are fucking amazing animals that don’t get talked about enough. The fact that an herbivorous rodent is effectively a keystone species is insane.
I really like beavers. >

Thats no where near as insane as their buttholes smelling like vanilla. >

Excuse me? >

Beaver musk is also known as castoreum, and is an additive in a lot of stuff >

I wish you didn't tell me that. Now I have to go throw out all my groceries in the refrigerator. >

... you do know what sausage casing is traditionally made out of right? >


I've always been fascinated by sausages. It's almost mythological
to kill an animal and then mock it by sticking it in its own intestine.
Can you imagine anything worse than being stuck up your own ass?
...
That's one of our small pleasures >

IIRC, it was considered respectful to do so.
Because you use everything instead of just select parts. >

The notion that this was historically out of respect is most likely a myth. It was done because for most of history, food was fucking precious and you didn’t ever throw away anything that you could possibly gain nourishment from. The idea that you should find a way to use every part of an animal out of respect is really a kind of luxury that comes out of the abundance afforded by modern society. 
And don’t get me wrong, I’m absolutely all about that, because I love animals and the only thing I think is worse than eating meat is not using ALL of what we kill. But that moral philosophy is, again, only possible in modern times. 
Our ancestors were just hungry yo. “Shit we ate it all. What are we gonna do?” “Fuck man, let’s boil the damn bones for a couple hours. Maybe we can get something out of them.” “Mfw I just invented broth.” >

The ingenuity of it amazes me, how did we look at effectively some sort of grass seed, and end up turning it into bread!! >

I speak for the beavers.
Beaver noises
They say fuck Putin >

My beaver brethren have spoken. They are on the side of good and just. Behold their consequences
