Escalation? YOU are the ones who for the past 3 years have been trying to destroy Ukraine. What should have been a 2 week "special military operation" has now become a 3 year embarassment, and total collapse of your military, your countrys resources, and your young male population for generations to come. Essentially putin, YOU have now gone down in history as russias biggest embarassment. You crippled your own country. And the worst part (for you) is that all of this is because you wanted a lasting legacy. And if you had just done nothing, you'd have gone down as the guy who rebuilt russias economy after the post cold war fallout years. If you just did nothing, you would be in a decent position today. And the rest of the world would still think your military is far stronger than it is/was.

Instead, you pulled back the curtain, showed the whole world how weak you are. You lashed out, issued empty threats, had no way to follow through with your threats, and now you expect us to believe you have the balls to nuke anyone?

You nuke Ukraine, or anyone for that matter, and ALL countries reign down upon you. That nuke would instantly be the end of russia, which has stood for over 1000 years. You would be the cause of it's permanent end.

Then again, you ARE known to be very stupid, and make the dumbest choices.

Loser.

WELL HE'S NOT ON MYSPACE!!! (joking)

[-] Empricorn@feddit.nl 2 points 10 months ago

Despite this mad truth, it's still not too late. GTFO of Ukraine, return all people you stole, submit to international criminal courts, pay reparations. Peace can be profitable, everyone will eventually drop sanctions; your country can not just survive but thrive!

They are doing very well striking the oil infrastructure with homegrown solutions, so they would actually want the tomahawk for the tougher military targets, like command and control, airfields, supply bunkers etc.

Airstrip strikes are a waste of money. They are quick and cheap to repair.

[-] Tar_alcaran@sh.itjust.works 22 points 10 months ago

You're confusing "Airfield" and "Runway". One is a strip of asphalt/concrete, the other is a giant collection of expensive stuff like planes, fueling facilities, ammo stores, workshops, etc etc.

It depends how big and extensive the craters are, there is a reason the UK spent so much effort bombing fastjet airstrips in the Falklands War with a globe spanning Avro Vulcan bomber strikes.

edit there is more controversy over the effectiveness of this than I thought vs. it being a glorified PR program for the air force... which it clearly was to a large degree.

"How many Orcs can I kill today?

Too many to count, don't get in my way

I shoot a mofo in the throat with my bow

Tomahawk chop is my death blow!"

[-] lightnsfw@reddthat.com 1 points 10 months ago

I'm going to continue interpreting it that way because it is very funny.

[-] astropenguin5@lemmy.world 11 points 10 months ago

Hopefully we should see some flamingos doin stuff soon

I have a hankering for Swan Lake.

[-] Linktank@lemmy.today 11 points 10 months ago

Kremlin is a military target right?

[-] supersquirrel@sopuli.xyz 6 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

No I would not consider it a military target, a top military building HQ could be considered a target but I would think the international community would deem the literal capital of the country a non-military target.

[-] lysol@lemmy.world 4 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

Nope, politicians are not military targets. And that makes sense. Nobody would ever talk and try to settle things diplomatically if they could be legally assassinated while doing so.

Also, you can't have a Nuremberg-style trial with the responsible people if you kill them. The military are following orders and doing what they are told (well, hopefully). The politicians are the ones with the highest responsibility for an invading army. An army serving the state won't invade unless politicians tell them to.

[-] x00z@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago

What about Putin, who's not a politician but a dictator warlord?

[-] Linktank@lemmy.today 3 points 10 months ago

All I'm hearing is "Yes, in fact it's one of the most important ones!"

[-] unphazed@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago

I'm sure the fact that politicians tend to come from wealthy backgrounds has no factor whatsoever...

[-] YtA4QCam2A9j7EfTgHrH@infosec.pub 5 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

I think he should continue using other weapons too. I doubt there are enough tomahawks to only use them.

Edit: maybe he is only personally going to use tomahawks now. This makes more sense. I’d only use the best too if I was at the top.

[-] ArcaneSlime@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 10 months ago

I thought the same thing, then I realized "I think they mean they won't use them for civilians (duh) or infrastructure (less duh)."

"Only" as in "not for other targets" not "exclusively using THs."

[-] eurisko@lemmy.ca 3 points 10 months ago

And you know he means it.
