Fuck Russia.

Good. I hope there is a deep painful fear in their hearts.
Even though it is projection, it is their brutalized army that revels in committing atrocities as it invades. Fucking savages.

ELI5, What is going on?

Ukraine decided to walk into Russia at a place where the border is not protected very well

[-] ceenote@lemmy.world 52 points 3 months ago

Oh no! What if Russia retaliates? /s

Poland and Baltics roll eyes at the speed of sound

My theory is they plan to flank the entire front line by going through Russian territory. Then use the occupied territory as leverage to get reparations from Russia, as well as a peace treaty obviously.

I doubt it. If I were in their position I'd just try to disrupt the supply of logistics to the front and do as much damage to the economy as possible. Once the oligarchs start suffering then they just get to sit back and watch the chaos. Doing a large push is needlessly risky. They have the advantage and the initiative, and they should take it, but there's no way they have the logistics to the rear to seriously push.

Yes, destroy train lines, oil, gas, and petrol stations, loot and burn police stations, fortify highway overpasses so Russia has to bomb their own infrastructure or lose large amounts of men. Burn factories connected to rusdian war effort. All while infiltrating hundreds of saboteurs into the general population to instigate smoking accidents all across the federation.

I'm thinking Ukraine is going to do a hostage swap Kursk Nuclear Power Plant for the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant.

@partial_accumen @Ilovethebomb That's a possibility. Only I'd make sure to 'liberate' some of the equipment first which you know good and well the Ruskies have done to theirs.

@Ilovethebomb @LaFinlandia that or just plain walk into Moscow and St. Petersburg and tell Vladimir that they're running the place now. From what I can tell about the Russian economy, he's not doing a great job and they might go for that. Who knows. I don't pretend to understand Russian politics.
