They pull 70 years old tanks out of storage all the time, they have used rare nuke-safe tanks on the battlefield, they have to beg North Korea (!) for help and more.

This just screams stock and command problems.

They are losing so they are getting desperate and thus does tries stupid things.

What Russia wants us to think:

"O no, allowing Ukraine to fire atacms into Russia was to much escalation! We must back down!"

What we actually think:

"Russia ran out of missiles and has to reach deep down its soviet arsenal to fire the last thing it's got. Next, they'll fire an R7"

Russia declares US missile base in Poland a target

uh... that would get all of NATO involved, wouldn't it?

[–] Valmond@lemmy.world 7 points 5 hours ago

Declaring it? No.

Firing on it? Yes!

Yes, an attack on a NATO member would immedialy invoke article 5 (which has only been done once in history - 9/11)

ruzzia is running out of everything and using its last reserves.

EU and NATO need to pool together every resource to bankrupt this rotten state and drive it from Ukrainian soil. The defeat has to be so harsh that the ruzzkis won't be able to cross any border forever. Confine them to their own country, period.

[–] Valmond@lemmy.world 3 points 5 hours ago

And denuclearise them.

As seen they cannot behave.

America here.....heh. We're gonna be useless come January!

Actually we might even be working against the cause. It would not surprise me to see trumps cabinet do shitty things like sending russia weapons and money.

In fact, I'm basically expecting it.

Just know that it's not ALL America. Just like 52% of us......or, I should say 52% of the 2024 voting public.

No. I hold those who didn't vote accountable too.

Pretty sure they did this as nuclear sabre rattling in response to the ATACMS and Storm Shadow attacks, not because of resource constraints.

Well, I'm sure the US military complex is excited to test whether they can swat these out of the sky with their expensive toys. Now they have a chance to try.

And the more Russia launches, surely that technology will improve

[–] copd@lemmy.world 7 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

Why would Trump want to fight Russia? He loves russia

He's a big narcissist so having capabilities is probably going to flatter his ego.

[–] x00z@lemmy.world 22 points 1 day ago

Well I guess we should be giving Ukraine some ICBM's next. Or would that not be fair? :')
