By that logic we need to hand them 100 tlams to pound Moscow.
We should do that anyway though.
The joke is Russia, and the punchline is that the world feared them for as long as they have.
The hardest part is trying to tell the difference between the pictures of Russia before and after a destructive war hits it.
I’m joking, they’re always the same picture.
Russian residents reported on Telegram that after the attack by the Ukrainian drones, the military airfield looked like footage from an apocalypse movie. “It’s a serious tragedy, folks. This is serious stuff. It’s all fucking on fire. And it’s fucking smoke. It’s all fucking exploding. That’s it,” said one Russian while filming the scene.
None of those airframes are replaceable, Russia is surviving on its inheritance from the USSR, their entire defense industry is crippled by corruption.
But I’m sure all those t-34s should make a difference, who needs modern technology?
Putin, after 10 days of Kursk catastrophe, summons Stalin’s ghost
Stalin: “What’s happened?”
Putin: “Nazis are at Kursk! My army is beaten! What should I do?”
Stalin: “Do like me 1943. Send best Ukrainian tropps to the front, and ask the US for arms”
As are the czars who united Russia.
I’m sorry, you’ll have to speak up, I can’t hear you over the sound of Russia being invaded by the country it tried to invade.
Says the one defending this: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Izium_mass_graves
No wait, I know, it’s what they get for fighting back, like when a woman makes her husband beat her.
One holodomor isn’t enough, the Russians deserve the chance to do another?
They never paid for the first, the Ukrainians should make them.
This is a response, and the only rational one.
Honestly though, our clandestine services would save a lot of lives by simply removing the problem from the top.
NATO is growing stronger, Poland is growing an army that’s honestly terrifying.
As this continues, Ukraine will continue to get better weapons while Russia keeps digging deeper and deeper into their cold war reserves.
They’ve already given up on their t-14s and haven’t seen the su-57s lately.
I look forward to the t-34s coming back into service.
Yeah ok, this is just sad.
The only ethnic cleansing Ukraine did was clearing all the Russian scrap trash from the Black Sea.
Not that it needed much help, the Russian navy is famous for turning their cruisers into submarines and their submarines into permanent submarines themselves.
The Ukrainians were always the intelligent ones in the Russian empire and later the Soviet Union, without them Russia can’t keep lost of their tech going.
The west needs to move further though, Finland and Sweden simply isn’t enough, we need to build up Georgia as well, and Armenia now that they’ve realized how useless an ally Russia is.
We let russia go too far for too long, it’s finally time to end this nuisance so we can focus on problems that actually matter.

“Europe does not have a developed [early warning system],” he added. “In this sense they are more or less defenceless.”
So, to which parts of the world might Russia deploy its missiles?
“Wherever we think it is necessary, we’re definitely going to put them. As President Putin made clear, we’ll investigate this question,” Vladimir Solovyov, one of Russian state TV’s most prominent hosts, tells me.
They had one, they elected zelensky.
It’s not genocide, freeing all those poor, oppressed minorities under the Russian Empire.
It’s liberation, the freedom they deserve.
You must be too young to remember when gorbechev offered Ukraine to stay in the new federation and they clearly said no.
Who in their right mind would voluntarily want to be Russian?
Most countries have something in their past to be proud of, Russia just has humiliation after humiliation after humiliation, all self_inflicted.
Or inflicted on others, like the holodomor or all the purges.
But seriously though, we owe them. They managed to unite the west with their invasion, they grew NATO and made Xi give up on taking Taiwan. Without their help we might have actually had to do something.
Russia as an enemy is the greatest ally anyone can have.
I don’t know, what was the special military operation supposed to achieve? Because it seems to have failed.
What does it tell you that they hate Russia so much (everyone does), that they’re happy to run to Russia’s worst enemy?
None of this matters, Russia won’t be a country in 10-15 years anyway, between us supporting all their internal ethnic groups which will break away into their own “stans” and otherwise arming everyone who hates them, they’ll be shattered just like in the 90s, and this time we’ll keep them that way.
We should give Ukraine their nukes back just so they don’t have to suffer through this period.
It’s their country.
Russia could surrender Moscow too.
Would actually turn out better for Russians, liberate them from their gangster kakistocracy.
That’s not the whole US, just mostly the south.
Can you tell me why Hitler was a bad person? Don’t use the holocaust.
