~~in show of force~~ to escape Ukrainian drones.
"Show of force"
We've been watching your show of force for few years now and it's been unremarkable to say the least. A country without a navy has sunk your Black Sea fleet with modified jet skis. Just imagine what a country with navy could do.
Show of "force".
Our freedom of navigation exercises, their thuggish displays of intimidation
The sheer force of will to keep those leaky bastards topside...
You mean to show how fast they can run away?
TIL running away means going right up in to your enemy's face
Running away is how you capture territory in war? 🧐
Good.
I hope they took the opportunity to bring some supplies made scarce by the blockade
How those prisoners in gitmo getting along by the way? Goin on 30 years, no habius corpus, no trial, many 'scheduled' for release?
Anyway here's to the rules based international order
Showing support to a nation embargoed and impoverished by US aggression.
Lol, they literally illegally invaded a sovereign nation a year ago!
They joined a civil war in progress on the morally correct side
Wow, they actually made it, well done russkies! Next, try to get the aircraft carrier work at least a week. That will put the fear into the hearts of every westerner.
Can be sunk with an RC boat with firecrackers taped to it...scary scary.
Maybe they're looking for their missing sub too?
Looks like it’s time for Ukrainian Special Forces to go to work.
Work where? The war crimes division of Nazi HQ?
Relax buddy, people are allowed to work together. Even if you don't like a particular country.
Is that located inside the Kremlin?
Bruh so funny. I'm not sure I could have come up with a quip so succinct, yet so useless.
Facts:
There is a worrying amount of Nazi sympathy among Ukrainian forces
The Russian economy is doing surprisingly well (signalling that the west no longer holds complete control over world trade)
Fuck Russia for invading a sovereign nation
Fuck the west for blocking peace talks
Good luck to all peoples in their fights of liberation from their oppressors. The leadership of the west and it's oligarchs, the Russian oligarchs, and all leaders sympathetic to the American empire would be better used as pig feed.
None of us are free unless we are all free.
There. Now that you know where I stand, it should be easier to construct an intelligent response.
It doesn't matter where you stand. We're all just cogs in the machine.
Lol they can't even protect their own ships next to Crimea. Homemade ski-do torpedos get the job done.
Meanwhile they're rocking a small flotilla geographically near the US?
"Oh but they could have nukes" the Russians already have ICBMs, like who tf cares? At this point all they can really do is threaten undersea cables or underwater gas pipelines
Boromir: One does not simply walk into Mordor
Russia: swaggers into Mordor
Hoo boy the orcs and goblins are going to be hooting and hollering.
Picture: man showing his willie out of pants
lol
since this has no obvious strategic benefit, I'm starting the rumor that Putin is secretly on board and is going to Cuba for cancer treatment.
Steady hands.
