President Vladimir Putin said Tuesday that there would be “serious consequences” if Western countries allowed Ukraine to use their weapons to strike targets in Russia, as sought by Kyiv.

    How fucking dumb. They’re actively at war with Ukraine and really the rest of the Western world, they’ve made themselves a legitimate target, they’re attacking inside of Kyiv on a daily basis. Fuck them and let Kyiv attack them anywhere they need to.

      Товарищ, that’s not a war, just a Special Military Operation, we haven’t even started to put any effort at all!

      WW2 tank rolls in and dies on a mine

      That is… We don’t put out our best troops to such operations. It would be silly, wouldn’t it?

      Tank team covered in fire leaves the vehicle and tries to set off the flames by rolling in the mud.

      That’s the NATO. The NATO we prepare for. And we save our bestest troops and tech for the final show.

    Then stop striking Ukrainian targets from within Russia. What an asswipe.

        No, you’ve just got some of those classic .ml brainworms.

        I recommend a full dose of antiparasitics.

              Who else is doing it?

              Russia is striking Ukrainian targets from Ukrainian territory which, according to the used phrasing, is fine.

                Artillery wise yes, but a lot of russian aviation striking ukrainian targets are based well within pre feb 2022 russian controlled borders

                If you read that comment and thought they were saying that it’s fine when Russia attacks Ukraine, so long as it’s done from within Ukraine using shorter range missiles, then you need to touch some grass, speak face to face with some actual humans, and discover how people talk, because any normal person wouldn’t interpret that comment that way.

                I’m following just fine. Who else is firing into Ukraine?

                It only makes sense to take issue with only telling Russia not to do it if others are doing it too.

                Perhaps you should work on your ability to follow conversations, and also to be less condescending, fuckwit. 😘

                  No, you’re not.

                  The implication - whether or not it was intentional - is that it’s fine to fire on Ukraine from within Ukraine.

    No, you see, what Ukraine is meant to do is bunker up so Russia can just send in the meat grinders and win by attrition. It’s not fair if they fight back.

      I don’t think the Kremlin can win by attrition like they have in the past. They’re burning through USSR stockpiles and not replacing them, they’re in the middle of a demographic crunch even without the war, and the last mobilization was deeply unpopular.

      This isn’t the USSR, it’s just a corrupt, isolated, shrinking Russia being dragged into a barbaric war by their Mafia leaders in the Kremlin.

      Show Russia and China that we aren’t scared of their total of a dozen nukes. I say this as someone that will get nuked if either country turns their “arsenal” against the US
