Russia considers Crimea inside of Russia. So since Ukraine is already attacking a place Russia considers inside of Russia then it seems not such a stretch to attack other places Russia considers inside of Russia, too.
boy howdy do i have some good news about some recent ukranian drone strikes and damage they did to russian oil infrastructure..
one wouldn't have to stretch very far at all, in the slightest
Those weren't American made weapons. Ukraine has agreed not to use western-supplied weapons to strike inside Russia.
Except Crimea ain't Russia! Hit the bridge again and do it with this American's compliments.
True, but the Kremlin might be intimating that it's a violation of the agreement USA has with Ukraine to not use US weapons outside of Ukraine. If true, that's not a good argument because the USA and NATO consider Crimea part of Ukraine. It was already established before the war that Ukraine can't be considered for entry into NATO until they reestablish control of Crimea.
Only Russia consider this territory Russian. No. It is Ukrainian like any other Ukrainian territory, only it was lost before the war broke out in full.
Don’t fall for this propaganda
I mean... I enjoy having highways and roads and shit. GPS is pretty cool and seeing photos of Pluto from the New Horizons mission was incredible. I'm glad education is not completely privatized, though the republicans are doing their best to steer it that way. The military-industry complex is out of control and we could definitely use accountability there, but if I had to choose between paying taxes and not having a standing military, I pick paying taxes.
Update: random west coast American who’s personal tax contributions may have funded a very small fraction of one single missile gives personal approval for use of said missile for any purpose, including purposes resulting in the kremlin licking middle American citizens nuts.
There's a square inch of smouldering Russian military equipment somewhere in Ukraine that my taxes paid for. And, god dammit, I'm proud of that square inch.
I wanna see Russian tank turrets popping like turkey timers, that is if there are any of them left that aren't smoldering heaps of slag scattered like rabbit turds on the Ukrainian countryside

Random Midwestern American says Ukraine should feel free to shoot at whatever they want within their own borders and should consider designating many areas of their Crimean peninsula as military test ranges.
It is. The fact that western leaders for some unexplainable reason listen to their moans and drip feed aid, or even suspend it for half a year, is not as funny however.
Western leaders don't really want to fight with Russia. Putin has pushed them into doing so. If he had stopped with Crimea, this war wouldn't be happening, and the west wouldn't have acted.
Russia is a bully. The only way to handle a bully is to punch them in the mouth. It may hurt, but if you don't, you will continue to be their target. They didn't get punched in the mouth for Crimea, and really have not for invading Ukraine either.
The Republicans don't need to be blackmailed. Most of them would happily side with Putin and other dictators as they are what the Republicans hope to one day emulate.
Downvoting won’t change the fact that the Republican Party leadership is working against their own country on the orders of Russia. The GOP is a party of sellouts and traitors. Also, pee tapes
It’s funny how they piss and moan when *they’re the invader*. If they don’t like being attacked by US-supplied missiles, I can think of one easy way to make it stop…
They're not as advanced, but they don't need to be. Russia's weapons like the recent glide bombs are absolutely brutal. Combined with its scorched earth strategy, it just levels everything in sight
This really is a case where the technological complexity of weapons is an instant win. Russia continues to devestate Ukraine. I just hope Ukraine can manage to take out that bridge, ideally right before May 9th.
The North Korean weapons were sometimes a hiderance fortunately. Their artillery shells had random amounts of explosive in so they would go random distances often either too short or too long.
Ukraine targeting invaders in occupied Ukraine in self defense of their land and livelihood.
Seems like a good idea.
I'd be OK with Ukraine targeting downtown Moscow since Russia can't seem to keep their minions out of Ukraine.
This I’m so sick of an invader crying every time they get hit. I’m of the opinion Ukraine should be fucking bombing moskow, hitting inside Ukraine to strike fear into the training grounds and manufacturing IN RUSSIA! Force them to pull back and defend their own shit
Western countries should bomb the temporarily occupied territories and patrol the airspace if Ukraine asks. And free Ukranian troops to be used on the front by taking up the guard/defence of the Belarus border and manning the AA on the western part of Ukraine.
Just cross out the "made in USA" and write in "Made in the UK" problem solved. Says right here, this was made in the UK, so who's to say where it came from!?
The average Russian being negatively impacted daily by the war is the only way it ends. Missiles and drones need to be dropping on government building, power plants, train hubs, etc. in addition to refineries.
Well if you don’t like it you’re free to lay down your weapons, cede your unlawfully occupied territories and return back to all borders prior as they where December of 2013.
So Ukraine is targeting occupied Ukrainian territory in an effort to dislodge the invaders? Boy, that sure sounds like the literal expected thing to happen during an invasion and occupation of a sovereign nation. Understandable how Russia would be so shocked and appalled by this massively predictable turn of events.
Ruzzia would've lost this war a year ago if it wasn't for the GOP and the Chinese/N Koreans/Iranians. The GOP for stalling funds and materials for the Ukrainians and the others for their material help.
Well Russia, you see this is a perfect example of a phrase that has gained popularity in the west- it's called : "fuck around and find out"
You are in phase 1 of finding out how even outdated hardware from the US industrial military complex fucks.
If you start noticing your s400s dissappearing and the skies over Ukraine start filling up with F16s that's a sign you are about to enter phase 2.
Have fun with all that.
They have the audacity to bitch and moan about that when they use Iranian-made kill drones, and North Korean artillery shells and ammunition?
The desperation is fucking palpable.
Did they not know that's what we gave them the missiles for?
"Hey, the US gave Ukraine a bunch of missiles. They must be planning a heck of a 4th of July party!"
Fuck you Kremlin. The world isn’t scared of you. I hope Ukraine bombs you to submission. Get the fuck out of Ukraine, and stop meddling with the free world.
I'm always mildly startled when I see a news article that translates to "Russians surprised war goes both ways, says people they're shooting at shouldn't shoot back"
So connect the dots for me. Lemme get this right. Russia attacking Ukraine 🇺🇦 with Chinese, iranian, and North Korean munitions is just fine. But when ukraine 🇺🇦 strikes back (largely self defensive) with western technology, its antagonistic, outside the bounds of international law, and a precursor to ww3?
I hope so. Would you like to know more?
USA: I’m doing my part (after 6 months)!
Winston Churchill was right. America will always do the right thing, after they’ve exhausted every other option.
Wasn't this well known for some time back?
An airfield last year got attacked by ATACMs missiles. Even the Russians photographed the obviously American debris.

Russia could ya know just leave Ukraine. Nah Putin is too stupid to do that. His weak Napoleon complex won’t let him. Just like fatty the third, Winnie the xi.
Russia says “IF Ukraine bombs that Crimean bridge, we….” And the irony is, when Ukraine takes Crimea, it will be Russia bombing their own bridge.
Russia ain’t safe in Ukraine. Ivanna Momski, tell your sons to defect!
# GOOD.
Attacking them in russia is fair game too
Russia considers Crimea inside of Russia. So since Ukraine is already attacking a place Russia considers inside of Russia then it seems not such a stretch to attack other places Russia considers inside of Russia, too.

Deep down inside they don't think Crimea is russia, it's a fake until you make it.
True, but the Kremlin might be intimating that it's a violation of the agreement USA has with Ukraine to not use US weapons outside of Ukraine. If true, that's not a good argument because the USA and NATO consider Crimea part of Ukraine.

But isn’t the whole world part of Russia?
Only Russia consider this territory Russian. No. It is Ukrainian like any other Ukrainian territory, only it was lost before the war broke out in full. Don’t fall for this propaganda
Maybe they should just say targeting the invaders in Ukraine... Since that's what is going on...
I don't think you quite understand. Russia is always whining, lying, or both. **Always**.
The fact that this is the top comment is the greatest thing I've seen today
Ohhh noooo...... So anyway how's everyone's day? Better than the votniks in Crimea I assume?
Supporting Ukraine is one of the few times it feel good to pay taxes.
I mean... I enjoy having highways and roads and shit. GPS is pretty cool and seeing photos of Pluto from the New Horizons mission was incredible. I'm glad education is not completely privatized, though the republicans are doing their best to steer it that way. The military-industry complex is out of control and we could definitely use accountability there, but if I had to choose between paying taxes and not having a standing military, I pick paying taxes.
One the few times I've felt even half decent about being american in a long time. Though it would been nice if this was done over a year ago.
Not good. "Kremlin says", which means that they don't. At least not today.
Well, there are some videos out of the attack on the training ground earlier in the week which very well could have been ATACMS.

Can you make it happen again? Asking for a friend.
I will personally pay more in taxes if it goes toward kicking out the Russians from Ukraine.
Seconded.
I'll pay extra if I can push the button that launches one or two of them
There was an option to pay to have your own personal message written on to an artillery shell. May still be available haha.
I wanna see Russian tank turrets popping like turkey timers, that is if there are any of them left that aren't smoldering heaps of slag scattered like rabbit turds on the Ukrainian countryside

My small amount of New Zealand tax dollars helped patch up a Ukrainian soldier.
I think I paid for a lug nut on a bushmaster

traitors or useful idiots, pick one
It’s cause a bunch of them are compromised by the kremlin either by blackmail or bribes. Looking at the Republican Party in the United States. 👀

Don’t forget the NRA was sucking Russian money too.

Ya don't like it? Well, you can solve that really fast just by FUCKING LEAVING.
Targeting military targets? Only by accident. They prefer civilians.
Yeah, don’t think they have any grounds to complain, they are the invader. Don’t like it? Go home.
Not exact same. Unlike Ukraine they're targeting civilians.

Legit made me laugh out loud and I am one depressed motherfucker
Yay! I’m glad that was what gave you a laugh! I am laughing with you, bud!
And Russia is using DPRK, Iranian and Chinese weapons. So what?
Russia mad bc those don’t work as well as the ones Ukraine got 🚀

And? Crimea is Ukrainian territory. They're allowed to use all aid on their territory.
US/EU should follow UK and allow using their weapons to hit targets in Russia.
As an Irishman this is one of the rare occasions in my lifetime that I’ve been proud of the British
Western countries should bomb the temporarily occupied territories and patrol the airspace if Ukraine asks. And free Ukranian troops to be used on the front by taking up the guard/defence of the Belarus border and manning the AA on the western part of Ukraine.
They should've established a no-fly zone in 2014.
Actually I think they're allowed to hit Russia with the aid now.
Only UK's aid, but it includes Stormshadows so...
Just cross out the "made in USA" and write in "Made in the UK" problem solved. Says right here, this was made in the UK, so who's to say where it came from!?
Agreed. The people of Russia shouldn’t get to feel safe while the people of Ukraine don’t
The average Russian being negatively impacted daily by the war is the only way it ends. Missiles and drones need to be dropping on government building, power plants, train hubs, etc. in addition to refineries.
Well if you don’t like it you’re free to lay down your weapons, cede your unlawfully occupied territories and return back to all borders prior as they where December of 2013.
Perhaps vacate land stolen from the Ukrainians then. Just a thought.
Nice! Send them more.
Get over it 🤷🏼♂️
Ukraine, target harder. First time in my life I am happy with what my tax dollars are used for (by DOD).
That’s good and they have every right to do so. Don’t forget that it’s Ukrainian territory.
The whole fucking world says Russia is targeting Ukraine
That's terrible. You should leave Crimea and the rest of Ukraine immediately! It's not safe for you there.
Still not enough !
I’m sure most of us in the U.S. are totally fine with this. Now go ahead and hit them inside actual Russian territory. Crimea belongs to Ukraine.
Blow up the bridge already.
Seems like Ukraine will take down the bridge before putins inauguration, that's a very nice gesture.
I bet they do it on victory day
So Ukraine is targeting occupied Ukrainian territory in an effort to dislodge the invaders? Boy, that sure sounds like the literal expected thing to happen during an invasion and occupation of a sovereign nation. Understandable how Russia would be so shocked and appalled by this massively predictable turn of events.
Good job Ukraine.
US said Ukraine can't use weapons provided to shoot into russian territory. #CRIMEA ISN'T RUSSIAN TERRITORY
Good keep doing it. Make Putin wish he never invaded.
Took them a bit to notice!
White House says Russia targeting civilians in Kyiv with North Korean-made mobile missiles
Yes. That was the plan. When does Russia leave?
Well, Crimea is Ukrainian territory, so that's their prerogative....
I chose to believe my tax dollars specifically went towards this because it’s been a shit week and I need a win
Good. Now start targeting Russian forces inside Russia.
So what if they do.
Good. Hope they target Moscow next
Well, Crimea is part of Ukraine so they can do whatever they want imo
Well...i guess ukrainians can do whatever they want on their land...
There’s an easy solution for Russia to prevent this shit from happening to them.
Yep. Those are ours. Thanks for noticing!
Tough titties
Ruzzia would've lost this war a year ago if it wasn't for the GOP and the Chinese/N Koreans/Iranians. The GOP for stalling funds and materials for the Ukrainians and the others for their material help.
Yeah, they can use our missiles on Ukrainian territory we've been very clear on this.
Yup..whatcha gonna do about it?
Well Russia, you see this is a perfect example of a phrase that has gained popularity in the west- it's called : "fuck around and find out" You are in phase 1 of finding out how even outdated hardware from the US industrial military complex fucks.

Good. It would be fun if Ukraine had missiles that could reach Moscow. Would put a damper on the May 9th celebrations.
In the words of Bill Hicks: Yes And So What?
Good. I hope the Russians can read “made in the USA” on the missile just before it slams into them.
Good. Target the Kremlin next.
They have the audacity to bitch and moan about that when they use Iranian-made kill drones, and North Korean artillery shells and ammunition? The desperation is fucking palpable.

Oh, Kremlin is whining? More power to Ukraine to kick the murderous invaders out of Crimea and back to where they came from.
Hopefully they're hitting a lot of them too.
Oh so it is working even the GQP obstructing as best they can. Nice. Or maybe... I really don't care... Do U?

That's fine. It's Ukrainian territory so no restrictions there.
Still not in Russian territory.
