  1. France is not afraid. Time to stand up to the bully Russia.

  2. Don’t fuck with France, they have *Warning Nuclear Strikes*. **WARNING**

  3. Putin’s plan to put fear into west by using pre-production ballistic missile backfired as western missiles are now going to target multiple Russian targets. 😛

  5. Now is the time for Germany to step up and actually SEND it’s missiles

  7. Too little, too late. Ukraine is being overrun by Russia right now…

  8. If this war of attrition continues the way it is.. this is going to go on for many years. Quite surreal to watch a Modern War over the internet.

    I really believe after everything I’ve seen so far that this is very tamed for what could really be happening. (Even though it’s still quite discomposing). Especially with NATO allowing these deep strikes into Russia. The technology allowance to Ukraine just seems to be gradually better by the month. One by one, each bigger NATO country contributing for longer, deadlier strikes into Russia.

    End goal for The West would clearly be more than just having Ukraine “win” and getting rid of Putin’s administration; rather, the entire dissolution of the current Russian Federation.

    End goal for Russia seems to be ANY sort of “win” without losing anything conquered & the west “owing them one”. In it this far, absolutely NO WAY they will bow out or stop without massive gains/outright winning to the bitter end conventionally. (Everyone would hope nuclear engagement will not happen).

    By the display of the ICBM/IRBM missiles lately, I would say that Putin really could Nuclearize this conflict at any given time.

    How would the West *truly* respond to that? NOBODY wants complete nuclear exchange. Will it be like WW2 and everyone jumps on the bandwagon completely and guns for Russia’s throat?

    Just such a surreal time to be living through as a mid/late 20 year old, when it seemed like “general world peace” was going to last much longer than it did until February 2022. I understand/believe Russia truly initially invaded Ukraine in 2014, then decided it was either “now or never” because Ukraine was being bolstered immensely from what it was.

    I don’t have anyone to talk about this with at home so I needed to dump this here lol.

    *End of word dump*

    TL;DR thought dumping how insane a modern war is against peer to peer countries (albeit one backed by many). Thought general world peace was going to last much longer, but alas there seems to be a bad breaking point coming very soon. Interesting to see what happens on the third year anniversary of this War of Attrition.

  9. The restrictions should have never been there in the first place.

  10. According to wiki, the missile has a range of 550km. I bet there’s more than a few high value targets within range of these beasts.
