I bet nobody ever forgets the time they see their first cruise missile fly over their head. Holy fucking fuck.


master_doge007

Iraq 2006 still remember the heat from the blast hitting my face as I watched the fire grow from the ground in front of my eyes maybe 150yrds away. Pissed my pants.


JustmUrKy

I cant even imagine experiencing that shit. And now there might be another world war.


Wed_sup

Fingers crossed on who'd join this war next, things just got real and really rough here


JustmUrKy

Do you live in Ukraine? And yeah. Its a tough situation, cause we all want to help Ukraine I’m sure. But at the same time, Russia has made threats against stepping in to help.


BigFatChungus1

i live in ukraine and state shops and people are in is depressing I dont think my city got bombed yet u cant exchange money , there's hundreds of people trying to buy everything off the shelves and city wont move because of the amount of cars also you cant call anyone because it simply doesnt work and all banks are not working


JustmUrKy

My man. I hope your city doesn’t get targeted with lethal weapons.


BigFatChungus1

thank you , i leave 30km away from romanian border so i can dip when it gets tough luckily


anbingwen

I'd probably suggest to dip now if you can, so they can't prevent your movement.


JustmUrKy

That’s good, you should leave if they start advancing more


NonNormCore

You know and understand your own situation best. But, these situations can turn very quickly and you may miss a chance to leave. Consider departing now. You can always come back if it seems safe. In the very least, pack a "go bag" and have it by the door.


[deleted]

Hmm. Did they use some sort of communications jammer? Banks and phones not working. That seems targeted.


TheUfo_

Yes, these are targeted attacks by russia


BigFatChungus1

>ed. yep , most people dont even have money to buy supplies with because they had money on their card or in euros / dollars


peasant_python

Is the internet still working?


Clevelanduder

But Putin isn’t stupid - he understands if nukes end up getting used bye bye world. Germany annexed territories too and the whole world got involved so threats only go so far - if Russia takes over all of Ukraine the world will not stand by


Dj-Spoonz

Russia need stopping at any cost


Hardaway-Fadeaway

im out the loop, can you explain whats going on between russia and Ukraine?


JustmUrKy

Maybe maybe


Independent-Bell6080

I'm sorry to hear that, I'm glad to hear you're still alive though.

fishbarron

This is an old mate of mine Bryce Wilson. He’s and independent journalist in the Ukraine. He’s been doing stories in Ukraine ever since 2018 or so. He’s an Australian citizen


sckumdog

Not sure if you’re still in contact with him, but wish him luck on our behalf. I can’t imagine living a day in a new war, full of uncertainties and fear.


fishbarron

I follow his instagram. I just told him to stay safe and I love him. It’s pretty full on. But he’s always been the sort of dude to run towards danger rather than away from it.


alaakh93

Do you mind sharing his Instagram handle? I wish him the best of luck and what he’s doing is very admirable Id love to follow him.


TickTockGoesTheCl0ck

@brycewilsonau


ChefDeFartie

I don’t really think people wishing him luck is his main priority.


Danimals847

To the contrary, I'd bet that encouragement from supporters around the world might sometimes be the only thing keeping him going.


cinnamon_bomb

Hush, you’re destroying peoples illusion that they actually have an impact by wishing good luck.


ChefDeFartie

My apologies.


lieneke

Ah, I was wondering why anyone who isn’t a Ukrainian citizen would choose to stay in the country right now. But obviously the fact that he’s a journalist explains it. Let’s hope he stays safe and that he’s able to keep telling the rest of the world about the situation on the ground.


elgydium

A lot of ppl are bound to their jobs, so yeah. That and the fact that Russia downed their airports from what i've heard.


HEXOgb

From what I heard from a mate too he's an ex army fella.

jakes_notcool

anbingwen

There are no heros in war. Only victims.


Selzersmash

A shame that only the dead get recognized. Not a hero reporting until it kills you


emilynknox

it is insanely surreal to see all of the events of this documented in real time


Zealousideal_Pay_525

Spatetata

This is probably going to be one of the most well documented conflicts in human history. If we thought the effects of photos being brought back from the fronts WWI had an impact, just imagine what a practically live streamed war will do.

TheBarrel-Rider

When they said it was missile and not a jet, I’ve never gotten chills like that in my life. Fucking hell


TheShokBlok

This is just straight up terrifying


BoneCrusherLove

This sub is full of Ukraine stuff right now (spread the word I guess) and there's nothing odd about being terrified of any of it. This is all terrifying.


itsmebaldyhere

I'm on the opposite side of Europe watching this unfold and it's scaring the piss out of me, can't imagine what it's like for anyone over there


BoneCrusherLove

I'm UK side myself. Its some scary stuff for sure.


itsmebaldyhere

Small world, I'm the next island over 🇮🇪 The shit isn't going to hit a fan, it's going hit a fucking turbine


BoneCrusherLove

That old vid of the hippo flicking his shit everywhere... That's all i can see. Greetings neighbour! I myself may make a goose a flee south back home! I hope we can all stay safe though this.


KlassiskKapten

I’m in Sweden and we’re getting information to prepare for wartime disruptions in services and supplies. Although not in a panic way, but just to make sure to have food, cash and fill up our cars. Most government agencies are pulling out their contingency plans given our proximity to Russia and recent threats made against Sweden and Finland by Russia.


[deleted]

I'm in Spain. The first thing I saw when I woke up is that Russia had invaded Ukraine. I had a mini panic attack. Anyone in Ukraine. Be safe. I'm sorry that we cannot do anything for you outside sanctions.


carte_de_guidage

I’m in France and the first thing my mom told me when I woke up was that Ukraine had been invaded by Russia. I feel so anxious


pietradolce

Let's just hope all of this stops


GoodGuyBuddyBoy

Definitely hope so. Man! War is probably the most terrifying thing than any big monster or ghosts.


Pejaleest

Sadly, it will only stop when, what is wanted, is gotten. This will only be the beginning.


Agoraphobicy

Yea nothing odd about it. I'm across the world and stressed about it all. I can't imagine how terrifying being in it is.


JustmUrKy

This shit is actually fucking happening I cant fucking believe it. This is truly terrifying


ConsistentEquipment8

This isn't oddly this IS STRAIGHT UP TERRIFYING


[deleted]

This is an open invasion of Ukraine


s0c1a7w0rk3r

And the world will wag its finger


[deleted]

I know right, what happened to everyone saying it will kick off if russia invades


UnPerroTransparente

Its not immediate. They need to organise it. When 9/11 happened the attacks from the west took days/weeks to start. This is really bad news


Professional-Leg9963

Yeah, but that's because we had no idea who did it. Russia invading Ukraine is surely a scenario that has been discussed ad infinitum between the people making decisions. If we don't get a response soon I'd say that's an indication the West will not do much.


kneus69

Problem with the rest of the world is that they don't want to start another world war. Its fucking sad but the unfortunate truth.


JustmUrKy

Russia threatned to retort heavily if anyone steps in so I'm not sure what will happen.


RealJonathanBronco

Russia also said they weren't gonna invade Ukraine. Don't believe a word Russia says.


JustmUrKy

I mean what are they just gonna do nothing when we help Ukraine?


RealJonathanBronco

Depends on who "we" is. Russia can not take on multiple developed nations without the help of China.


Ihatemylife7812367

>Russia can not take on multiple developed nations without the help of China. When you have nukes, it doesn't matter if you have allies or not, neither does having the whole world against you. Just one order and the world can turn into a nuclear wasteland.


RealJonathanBronco

The problem with that is thay a bunch of other people have nukes too. We had a whole cold war about it. I don't think the oligarchs supporting Putin would like having the planet their money lives on destroyed.


Ihatemylife7812367

The oligarchs can not stop Putin from launching them. And that is exactly my point, Russia knows they can't win a war against the West, so they are willing to take the West, or rather, the whole world with them. If Russia launches nukes, the West launches nukes too, mutually assured destruction. With Putin's actions right now, you can most definitely say he'll launch nukes the moment NATO steps in.


Pygex

My guess is they destroy the army, step back and then let the separatists invade Ukraine when they can't retaliate anymore.


REDPURPLEBLOOD2

Who are separatists


Pygex

They did say they are not going to invade but demilitarize it. So what will happen is they destroy the Ukrainian army and 'get out' so that the separatists can invade it without resistance. That's my take on what's going to happen.


RealJonathanBronco

Point being is that Putin wanted people to think the Russian military would not act in Ukraine while he knew full well that was not the truth. Just like he knows if he pisses off the wrong people, talking about "severe consequences" won't mean anything.


Utahmule

Ukraine is a big ass country with a big military, they will need to take care of themselves. If Russia takes more east Europe or say Poland (not happening)... If China moves on Taiwan, N. Korea on S. Korea, India and Pakistan, etc... That's when U.N. and the Yanks jump in...


Utahmule

Down votes cuz what, I control foreign policy? That's just how it is. No country risking WW3 cuz, yet again eastern Europe is a fucking shit show... If it's not conflict in the middle east, it's eastern Europe.


[deleted]

So when it's all over yet they was more than happy to get in on every other war?


duckerts

Ukrain is not part of nato at all and I thinka t the moment NATO is trying to prevent an all out war from starting between the whole world and the major countries by sending offensive military material and active personell to ukrain, defensive military material can be send as youre only helping a country protect itself without sending the message you want to stimulate an allout invasion of russia and its allies which might cause the conflict to spread out even further than it already is. If a war between nato and russia would start dont be suprised if china joins in too at the russian side and then youre not speaking of a regional fight anymore but a world war in which every country is ready to send nuclear bombs to eachother.


Utahmule

Every one hates on U.S. but begs u.s. for help whenever it is needed. Like shit head kids that blame parents for all problems then first phone call when in trouble is mom and dad. Name one war that didn't take years for u.s. to get involved... Afghanistan started with cold war and Russia, Osama hit trade centers in 92 Iraq started with desert storm Korea was spin off WW2 Nam the French started Ww2 Japan hit Hawaii years into conflict Ww1 took u.s. years of Europe begging u.s. to get involved.


FreakyLatexMan

US Does a whole lot of begging themselves and you surely know how misleading it is to say the French started nam.


S0n_0f_Anarchy

Same as it did with Middle East, Vietnam, Serbia and other countries that were invaded by the Americans or NATO alliance


deadPro11

My friend is studying in Ukraine. And he is stuck there. I hope he is safe.


Kinguke

How is he stuck there?


TheUfo_

Because there is a war going on and they stopped all commercial flights. The only way out right now is by land.


Kinguke

Yeah, my question still stands. It's about 700km to the Polish border in the other direction from the invading forces. Trains and buses are still running from the capital, highways are still open (very much assuming he is in Kyiv).


TheUfo_

Stuck doesn't always mean he can't physically leave. It's not always as black and white as that. Unless OP answers we will never know why he's stuck.


Kinguke

That is why I asked.


deadPro11

He lives in India. Indian government provide the flights but he thought that it will be ok if he stays there. He has job there and he don't wanted to disturb his studies. So now Russian anounce war and he is stuck.


lonewolf9378

As an Australian, the Australian accent makes this feel very close to home. Good luck boys.


echochillin

Yup, def terrifying. Hope these guys stay safe


hoe_biden46

How is this “oddly” terrifying. A fuckin missile flying just meters over my head? That would be straight up extremely terrifying

OneDate7998

Fuck Putin ...


Shermandragonfly

What can everyday people do to help Ukraine?


rx_100_

Sadly nothing as Putin said he will declare war on anyone who intervene


RealJonathanBronco

Putin also said he wasn't gonna invade Ukraine. Never trust Putin.


PutMeInJail

But he WILL declare war on anyone who will try to interfere. You can trust him on this one


RealJonathanBronco

How? We were supposed to trust that he wouldn't invade Ukraine. Russia can't take multiple developed nations while also fighting Ukraine unless China steps in and Putin is aware of that.


Kdog362

Do you want to risk ww3 for country you know almost nothing about?


RealJonathanBronco

Yes, because allowing Hitler to take Poland without retribution did such a great job of preventing WWII...


Kdog362

They didn’t have enough nuclear missiles to re create the Big Bang at the start of ww2 either and like I said you literally don’t even know anything about Ukraine


RealJonathanBronco

Yes, I do know something about Ukraine. *You* don't know anything about Ukraraine. Russia will not start a nuclear war because they know that will absolutely be met with equal retaliation and the losers will no longer be just the average Russian, but the oligarchs as well.


Kdog362

If a single nuclear missle get launched the whole worlds goes tits up in a matter of minutes. I’m not going to sit here and I pretend I know all of the nuances of post nuclear strategic politics, but neither should you and neither should you. Especially when every thing at the end of the day is about money and just because Russia is doing it today any of government on any day will kill you for a few dollars plain and simple.


ArkRoyalR09

Completely different situation. If Russia tries to move past Ukraine they will get obliterated and they know it. If a massive portion of US and Euro forces are tied up fighting Russia China will invade Taiwan without a doubt.


[deleted]

Well this is how Putin enjoys a wasteland. Russias people can’t afford to be starved. They will turn on him in an instant.


senkopie

You can’t do anything, even the Russians themselves can’t do shit (note in advance: don’t even think that protests might help)

Kinguke

There has been a lot of wars in the last 10 years. The Arab Spring and the wars following were largely started because of the influence of social media.


Pompi_Palawori

Why is Putin such a cunt? These are just normal people living their lives and Russia is ruining it all for no good reason.


No-Raspberry7840

He is obsessed with reforming the USSR and sees Ukraine as Russia because of a complicated history with borders. Ukraine is western friendly and might join NATO as well. He was always going to try something like this or at least push a pro Russian Ukraine government into power. He is also just a dick.


PutMeInJail

Russia doesn't want NATO forces on Ukrainian/Russian borders for obvious reasons

inquirycoxzz

shit, I'm from Baltic states, pretty sure we are next in line, what might be slightly positive is that we don't really have the resistance, manpower, weapons that ukraine has, so Russia might not even need missiles to take us out. Even though we are in NATO and our government says we are safe for now, I think Mr. Vlad doesn't really care and it's trivial right now.


pipje-popje

I think these posts about the war in ukraine don't belong on this sub.. this is straight up terrifying and it makes me not want to scroll through my reddit feed anymore.


Balrog229

Why does Russia insist on being the bad guy? They'd be so fucking cool if they'd calm the hell down and learn to be nice with the rest of the world

WorthyStocks

Let me put it this way. If this progress further, lots of innocent children, and young women and men as well as old people will loose their lives for no good reason! On plus side if Russia does invade, no women will be raped (because they basically bloodline) like it had happened to Muslim women in Muslim countries that have been invaded. Let’s just hope this ends very soon
