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.
Don’t start nothin, won’t be nothin.
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.

That seems like a harmful act that is meant to instill fear.
I suggest the rational response is to proportionally inspire more fear in 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.
I think we need to do both, there is no reason to hold back on any front.
Break the country, then we can figure out how to move forward properly.
We tried the kind and gentle approach after the ussr, which was the right thing then, but they don’t respond well, they considered it weakness.
That only leaves the other extreme.
You’re missing the settlers and their ultranationalist allies.
They’re basically the mirror to Hamas.
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.
It absolutely does, no better way to end terrorism than to make the terrorists afraid of committing acts due to the retaliation.
Lot of afghans still look up in fear when they hear a noise on a clear day.
This is absolutely true .
Which is why the Russians were so foolish as to commit blatant terrorism while leaving their calling cards.
We made an example of Nazi Germany and imperial Japan, those lessons held. The same is needed here to imprint the lesson.

“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.
