Russia on brink of ... NOPE! Russia INVADES Ukraine!

[skyking]

nip this in the butt

'nip this in the bud'
This is the proper term, as in snipping off a flower before it blooms, before that branch bears fruit, etc.

"nip this in the butt"?

Oh yea, gang up on the non native speaker here... typical libs.

Macron sure is saying all the right things -- it's almost as if he's a politician.

I know right? Lots of ‘tough talk’ but no real action. Reminds me of Erdogan, saying all the right things regarding Palestine while selling Israel oil and various commodities.

But some here lap it all up like Macron is the next George Washington lol, because that’s what they have been conditioned to do.

At the end of the day, he will say something like ‘well I tried sending soldiers but no one else wanted to’…All too predictable.

Hes also pissed that the Russians booted the French out of west Africa, which is where France got the majority of its uranium from for its nuclear reactors.

I didn't know mancs called gum chuddy!

So at times I'm just as clueless as you on idioms when visiting Man-JEST-ah!

Mike Johnson Suddenly Seems Ready to Stick a Shiv in MAGA

The House speaker is open to a stand-alone vote on Ukraine aid. Marjorie Taylor Greene isn’t going to like that one bit.

Well until it happens it is another day delay and more pain to Ukraine (i.e, more unneeded deaths). Maybe MAGA should visit the front line and see for themselves the damage they are causing.

I've been wanting Mike Johnson to go visit some Ukrainians hospitals for months. Maybe include some tours of orphanages, also public places Putin has attacked at peak hours to increase civilians casualties. What does this "family man" think of Russians kidnapping Ukrainian children?

Giving the vote a chance? I'm cautiously optimistic, will believe it when I see it.

Let's go Mike. You've got summer in your eyes and winter in your hair, but if you don't get a little spring in your ass we'll be here till fall. Continue to suck Trump's treasonous ass, or be on the right side of history for once? Decisions decisions...


Edit: there! bah!

 

[Perknose]

...places Putin has attacked at peek hours to increase civilians casualties.

And here I thought you were American!

The WARMATE loitering munition is another great piece of gear the Ukrainians have, thanks to Poland. Over an hour of run time, can do 90mph, and that pick-a-flavor warhead comes with a cool feature, a visual target lock ability. Once locked, Russian cel/INS/GPS jamming doesn't matter. It loses it's connection and it defaults to charging the target at best speed. Lightweight, tube launched. Only takes a single person to deploy and control. Costs roughly $30k US.

There's even a fuel air explosive version

They've been used to take out Russian AD a few times already, I wonder how long the AFU have had them

I could give you a run for your money in Spanish, but you could probably school me in several others. I just thought you'd like to know the etymology that explains the spelling.

 

[RnR_au]

So this is getting a little serious for Russia. Ukraine has continued to launch long range drones at Russia's oil refineries;

The 64 MT is 64 million tonnes of product per year. Obviously not the entire refinery in the hits would be destroyed, so the 64MT is an upper bound, but there are plenty of targets and old targets can be revisited at will.

Russia's soft underbelly will get smashed again and again over summer. This pleases me

Seriously I do appreciate that, it’s exactly those places I get lost in translation.

This is the video I couldn't find yesterday.

US leaving NATO doesn't fix the problem here.

However, a core alliance of European powers with a credible record against Russia may crop up.

Something like Bulgaria, Croatia, Czechia, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany (audible groaning, but you really want them in), Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Slovakia, Sweden, Ukraine, UK perhaps.

Without Greece, Romania and Türkiye ? No Southern flank ? No Black Sea /Aegean domination ?

Turkey got what, 300.000 deployable troops? I feel like Russia would consider that a declaration of nuclear. Somehow we need to grind Russia down to the point of change in leadership without it resulting in a giant mushroom cloud. - That at least seems to be the current strategy.

 

[kage69]

Look at all the people in Russia giving Putin and his pathetic, rigged fake election the middle finger, wow. Putin hears everyone laughing, doesn't appreciate what it does to his feels.

He just told a youth forum in Sochi "We will no longer tolerate criticism of our democracy. Our democracy is the best."





"Russian democracy" is like saying "maga patriotism." It's a self defeating contradiction that relies on delusion for acceptance, a figment of diseased minds.

 

[zinfamous]

I fully endorse MAGATs everywhere volunteering their bodies to fight for their chosen side. Good way to clean up the two largest problems in the world right now.

No reason this destruction cannot continue until the end of the war.
Make Russia beg for gas.

Imagine Ted Cruz saying "We no longer tolerate criticism of our DEI training in Texas. Texas has the best diversity, equity and inclusion."

It's a similar level of detached, cult like wtf

There we go. Romania does not exist.
Russia's excuse if/when they clear Ukraine and reach Moldova.

Russia is not stopping its Genocidal invasion unless we stop Russia by force.
Kill. More. Orcs.

Odd - @Young Grasshopper told me Russia only wants peace and that western aggression was the cause of this war.

It’s almost like Russia is a degenerate society that doesn’t want to make their lives better but just wants to bring everyone else down to them.

 

[kage69]

Pickled midget Medvedev has his eye on that successor position. Continuously talking shit to those uppity euros is what he thinks will keep his name in the running. This is the guy who thinks novorussiya is going to stretch "all the way to Lisbon." Life is just one vodka soaked blur to him, clearly.

If Romania isn't a country and instead just a "way of life," then Russia is a contagious disease that results in poverty, misery, near pathological lying. The cultural equivalent of a norovirus strain, carried by the winds of politics and war. Mostly war.

Good thing Romania's been vaccinated with NATO. Shit works.
