Maybe he can take just little off the top like they did with the storage tank.

wait, the round thing wasn't a reflection in the window?

[–] Itdidnttrickledown@lemmy.world 8 points 17 hours ago

That hit was from a AA missile that missed.

There is a video of it in this thread.

There is also a video with sound somewhere.

Valid but just have to say you can't support Zelensky's take here and also pretend Iran has no reason for its attacks on the gulf states.

[–] Quokka@quokk.au 8 points 15 hours ago

People take issue with Iran attacking them?

[–] SpaceCowboy@lemmy.ca 4 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

By that logic you also can't pretend Israel had no reason to attack Iran, given that Hamas is Iran's proxy and Hamas attacked Israel.

Or maybe we shouldn't go back to pre-WWI logic and think that all conflicts are exactly the same and every conflict is automatically justified by flimsy reasoning. That kind of logic didn't work out so well in the past, see WWI.

[–] Diurnambule@jlai.lu 4 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

Or that Hamas is justified to attack Israel since israel attacked Palestinian first. And is killing them since at least 20 years. This kind of logic can be used in all directions too. When you look into it it is always the Epstein class and it is equivalent in each country the issue. These fucker always decided to burn the world instead of sharing their just share.

[–] SpaceCowboy@lemmy.ca 1 points 34 minutes ago

Israel was justified in Attacking Egypt and Jordan (the countries that previously occupied Palestine) because they attacked Israel. Do we continue on until we get back to whichever caveman thtrew a stone at another cavemen?

Or maybe we should accept the more modern sensibilities that all wars are bad, escalating wars is bad, "moral justification" for war is stupid because war is never a moral act.

I doubt anybody's going to try that here.

I saw the precision strike on the refinery. I'm thinking UA can take out those relays very cleanly.

[–] altphoto@lemmy.today 23 points 23 hours ago (1 children)

Oops! And was that a big ass fuel depot? Sorry! Thought it was a relay.

[–] shittydwarf@piefed.ca 13 points 23 hours ago (1 children)

I mean if they wanna fuck around so much they should find out a little bit

[–] sidebro@lemmy.zip 12 points 22 hours ago

I like the way you think, shitty dwarf

Take that Extra-russian state

[–] GreenKnight23@lemmy.world 3 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

I worked with some Belarusians a few years ago.

about eight months before Russia invaded Ukraine their contract miraculously ended and we cut off their access within an hour before they were notified.

funny how that works.

They were wonderfully nice people though.

[–] FundMECFS@piefed.zip 1 points 2 hours ago

Every single Belarussian I’ve met was absolutely a lovable person.

Shit government ≠ shit people.

[–] Grumpus_Maximus@thelemmy.club 2 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

They won't remove drone relays.
It's an allowed tactic. just like Russia can't remove starlink.

[–] NotMyOldRedditName@lemmy.world 4 points 15 hours ago

Ones used by the world for all sorts of uses, including the war.

One is solely used to terrorize and kill civilians.

[–] bedwyr@piefed.ca 8 points 23 hours ago

BitchofRussia more like it.

[–] 4am@lemmy.zip 5 points 22 hours ago

Bellend Ruse in shambles

[–] orbitz@lemmy.ca 3 points 20 hours ago

Didn't that Russian cockholster of a leader just say they weren't enemies of Ukraine too? Or something similar. Funny how that works....oh no you're awesome I'd never hurt you motions to friends hurry up and get that shit ready when no one is looking

I imagine this time it was drone relays while he made that public statement. Like Russia even cares about them or their leader.

Hah that was the leader saying how awesome it's be a Russian Colonel too if I recall. Least something that sounded as odd....unless you're one of Putin's cockholsters that is. Mean to each their own but I doubt the citizens care too much for his submission.
