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.

And are these "consequences" here in the room with us?

Putin: "it is, and it's looking serious."

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

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.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 months ago

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
