btw this got removed on reddit, fuck censorship
They put it back about an hour later
Thanks, Republicans. Because of GOP delays, there is insufficient air defense now. Great job, you fuckin fascist supporting assholes.
You can drop the “supporting” part of the fascist supporting assholes.
They are fascists, and they didn't delay for the fuck of it. They don't even hide their support of Russia. They are all sedititious fucks.
They 100% have blood on their hands.
Zelenskyy vs Putin, 1v1, let's see how strong and manly this russian sack of lard really is.
EDIT: Yes, he knows Judo and various other martial arts, but:
Zelenskyy vs Putin, 1v1
If only every war was decided by the two most pompous shitbags slapping each other around, rather than tens of thousands of 20-year-olds getting slaughtered with high explosives.
And everyone he has ever sparred with knew about the dangers of upper floor windows.
Love to see Zelenskyy pull an Indiana Jones and/or Ip Man on his ass.
Counterpoint: he may not be tough, but he definitely knows how to fucking cheat. We should probably have him fight a polar bear just to be safe.
Comrade, why would I put Novichok in your underpants?
Besides, your Polonium tea is getting cold.
Me too buddy, me too.
I understand Zelenskyy here.
He's being quite restrained here, I think. I've been wishing someone would take 'one for the team' and try knocking him off for years (along with most of the twats we have riddling our news cycle with their insecurities, like trump, musk, etc...)
Be the change you want to see in the world.
Hell, I haven't seen any children die and have a strong moral opposition to killing, but I'd take the shot if I had it.
I'm surprised Putin's villa hasn't been destroyed yet
I was thinking this today. One of those Cessnas with a fab 500 would do nicely.
I wonder if he has air defense or if they've been sent to the front as well
I don't see anything wrong here, I feel the same
Yeah me too
I guess it would be cool if nation leaders fought in a ring with their fists instead of sending their people to die, and bombing shit. Putin vs Zelensky, Netanyahu vs Hamas guy. Etc.
You can do eet!
Ukraine should have reestablished their nuclear weapons program and received supplies/support from allies after Crimea and again after Putin's 3 day war was repelled and the nonproliferation treaty under the Budapest Memorandum was violated by Russia. The only language dictators care to understand is violence or the threat of violence.
Ukraine should have reestablished their nuclear weapons program and received supplies/support from allies after Crimea
The country was ten types of broke before the war even started. You want them to invest billions they didn't have in a race to enrich uranium they couldn't access so they could kick off a nuclear war with a country directly on their border?
Fuck it, give em one of our old ones. I'm sure we've got some nukes from the 80s laying around.
We'll just have to track them down, first...
Good news! They're already in Russia
I'm not even joking, give them a hundred nukes we don't use. It'll be a lot cheaper for everyone.
Except Russia if they don't run away. And the world, but, honestly, this place has seen better days.
If the only point you'd contest is the after Crimea part Ukraine being too poor to do it I'd suggest allies that also signed the memorandum should be helping provide supplies and technical support. I don't believe any further Russian invasion would have happened under a nuclear armed Ukraine preventing the current conventional war. I don't think Ukraine owning nuclear weapons would result in a nuclear war because it's the same deterrent preventing Russia from using them themselves today.
Nuclear proliferation is certainly not the answer
It's not proliferation if we give them ones we aren't using.
It's reliferation, they used to have some.
It is proliferation because they currently have none and would now have more. Even if not, which nuclear bombs are we "using" right now?
I'm sure sending nukes to a war-torn country will do nothing to resolve the conflict or stabilize the region. Israel is constantly in conflict despite having nukes and other WMD goodies. How could this possibly help? Do you imagine they'd use them? MAD only ensures that nukes don't get launched. Putins "operation" in Ukraine could continue completely unimpeded
