All the russian troops should surrender and tell putin if he wants Ukraine he'll have to take it himself.

who needs tanks when you have a bear

 

[tay1]

The longer this goes on for Russia, the worse the ramifications. Seems like he went into this expecting an easy takeover.

I feel like all these companies barring russian business is just social media cancel culture x10 and really isnt doing anything significant, certainly not to the folks in power. Meanwhile the US and europe continue to buy russian oil and nat gas. In 6 months when everyone removes the ukraine flag from their profile pic it will be back to business as usual.

 

[iheartboost]

Haha! How do you tell a 40mile convoy to back up? Also some of those tanks ran out of gas too

You can write this ****, , pure comical!

Russian military heading towards another nuke plant. These idiots really are playing stupid games aren’t they.

 

[shogun]

At this point a few dozen countries need to tell putin he stops now or they start bombing moscow to hell.

If we start bombing Moscow, Nuclear silos all over Russia starts to get activated, and they have thousands.

to the country with the most nukes?

 

[shogun]

They have that many? Maybe nuke them first.

 

[danikerhino]

Their Nukes are scattered across Russia in undisclosed(top secret) sites and also in Russian subs around the world. That would be suicide for either side and would leave a crippled world. Anything involving Nukes are out of the question.

Edit: here's a well thought out scenario.

 

[fluid hips]

They survived. Only 1 person got hurt

 

[shogun]

So they just gonna keep targeting nuclear sites and nothing can be done except hope Ukrainian forces keep stopping them? That sucks.

 

[fluid hips]

All this could've been avoided if NATO told Ukraine they can't join for the time being

Putin is getting desperate. The country didn’t fold at the number of troops he flashed in their face. Now he has take to violating all the rules of war. Killing civilians, bombing civilian targets attack the Nuke plants.

Yeah, these Nukes keep the world's powers in check, yet because of this, all of the countries with Nukes are hesitant to have direct conflict with one another.

well today in Brussels Jens Stoletenberg who is the leader of NATO said they will not be joining in on this fight and refusing to make Ukraine a no fly zone and refusing to put NATO troops on the ground.

“We’ve agreed that we should not have NATO planes operating over Ukrainian airspace or NATO troops on Ukrainian territory,” Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg said at a news conference in Brussels.

No-fly zone over Ukraine not being considered by NATO, Stoltenberg says

Russia has ramped up assaults on key Ukrainian cities, as President Zelensky pleads for more international assistance and a second round of talks between Ukraine and Russia are set to take place. Follow here for live news updates from on the ground in Ukraine.

but i agree no one has assured Putin that Ukraine will not join its like its still on the table for the future. They just waiting to see how bad this gets. Because NATO out here posturing up the furthest they can go to the east if it spreads into a NATO country

Someone I know said nukes are all for show and no country will use them and we should attack Russia and call their bluff

In his address to the Russian people on Feb. 24, 2022, Putin said the purpose was to “protect people” who had been “subjected to bullying and genocide … for the last eight years. And for this we will strive for the demilitarization and denazification of Ukraine.”

President Vladimir Putin ordered his defence ministry to despatch Russian forces to "perform peacekeeping functions" in eastern Ukraine's two breakaway regions, according to a decree published early on Tuesday after he said Moscow would recognise their independence.

Idk, this seemed like an inevitable move in his mind based on whatever angle he wanted to give

I think there is both the threat of them destroying the plant and releasing the radiation or just turning power off country wide. EBasically just like Russia they are going to turn the Ukraine into a country of rubble and install some puppet to rule over the debris.

Putin can’t die soon enough. Though who knows what ,ouster takes over after him. I think the only thing he didn’t expect from for Russia to get cut out of the global economy. If he knew that was going to happen I expect he just doesn’t do this.

Please school them.

Doubt it.

thats the thing NATO has warned Putin time and time again after his last invasion of Ukraine if he did it again he would pay by sanctions. I think he knew this was going to be the hand we play because it was no secret.
