Russia says Ukraine targeted Moscow with drones on Sunday, the latest in a series of attacks that have brought the Ukraine war to Russia’s capital.

    They’re the ones doing the genociding and supporting the genociding. They’re the ones supporting the butchers of Bucha and the siege of Mariupol. They’re the ones taking selfies in the ruins of Ukrainian homes for aesthetics.

    What would you have done when the Nazis invaded Poland? Would you have wrung hands at the bombing of Dresden and Tokyo?

    I made my choice. I joined the strategic nuclear fleet as an SSBN sailor. Sometimes the only language a nation will understand is force.

      I’m claustrophobic so picked jumping out of planes instead but same idea. It’s fuckin wild to me that we spent 40 years arming up to fight Ivan and now half the country wants to hand them the keys to the football just to own the libs. They fucked around and are finding out that our old dusty shit off the shelf is eating them alive in properly motivated hands. Oh well

        Hooyah Airborne! You’re braver than me, jumping out of a perfectly functional airplane. I’d rather get turned to plasma faster than I can register than plummet as my chute fails to deploy, but different strokes for different folks. Salute to your bravery. Good luck out in the field.

        Heroyam Slava!

      Yes I absolutely would have wrung hands at the bombing of Dresden and Tokyo. I also absolutely oppose the nukes that were dropped, completely unnecessary and monstrous loss of life. I don’t quite know what you’re getting at with Poland, that could have been prevented if the French and English had accepted the Soviet offer to stop it pre-emptively.

      We don’t need to advocate for the murder of civilians. It’s just obscene barbarism, and all it will lead to is more murder of civilians in response.

      Ahh I see. That adequately explains bloodthirsty fashy barbarism and desire to murder civilians then.

        So you’re saying you’re in support of appeasement of Nazis. How did that work out for Europe last time?

        Sometimes the only way to get a fascist nation to stop is to bomb the ever living shit out of them until they stand the fuck down.

        If you like Russia so much, why don’t you move there? I’m sure the FSB will welcome you with open arms.

          I didn’t say either of those things. It’s wild how much this community rags on twitter for outrage and assuming the worst possible position of anyone that is responding while that seems to be what this community does constantly.

          Murdering civilians is not in fact how the nazis were stopped. Vastly out-producing them and outnumbering them in terms of armour was. I don’t know why you think killing civilians is in any way strategically beneficial. Its main effective use is as a terror action against an occupied population.

          This is just really disgusting bloodthirsty shit. The civilians have no less choice in this war than you did in Iraq or Afghanistan. But judging by your character I reckon I can assume you’re actually proud of the 2million you killed there.

            Strategically the term is “countervalue”. In purely military terms, it removes the ability of the enemy to continue regenerating its troops or keep its war economy and industry functioning. That destruction of industrial ability was the primary purpose of the bombing of Dresden and Tokyo, as well as the primary purpose that Hiroshima and Nagasaki were on the list of targets.

            The occupation of Iraq and Afghanistan were pointless. The former as it destabilized the region and had no real strategic value besides oil which was already procured from the Saudis, and the latter because anyone we were actually trying to target could have been taken out with long distance strikes instead of trying to occupy and create a clearly unwanted government for the inhabitants.

              No it fucking wasn’t lmao.

              “Were”, maybe wanna check on that whole past tense thing because you’re still there. Against the will of the people.

              Pretending not to be in Syria while still being in Syria too… Stealing the oil.

          Let me tell you about fascism. The name comes from latin word Fasces, which is the name for a bunch of sticks wrapped around an axe, a tool used in ancient Rome to beat and execute those civilians who dare to stand against the government’s imperial ambitions.

          Then, it was adopted by fascist Italian government as a symbol of national unity by means of beating and executing those who stand against it. We know what happened then - they’ve tried to conquer the world.

          Now, you’re calling for bombing of the cities, and, therefore, causing deaths of innocent civilians in an attempt intimidate those who stand against your government’s imperial ambitions.

          Think about it, are you’re saying that you should go fascist to beat fascists?
