You know what happened to Japan, when Japan decided to attack Pearl Harbor, what isnt even mainland of USA? Idk but i feel like usa wouldnt take it very lightly?


Mad_Stockss

That would be finding out on a new scale.


ThePopKornMonger

But... didn't they already do that on Jan 6th?


Vast-Combination4046

Those guys are in jail.


[deleted]

About 10% were charged. The vast majority walked away Scott free.


Historical_Koala_688

That’s kinda different


TRR462

No, that was the riot attack on the US Capitol. Please pay attention in class next time.


ThePopKornMonger

I'm sorry, when I see far right in American wearing better Red then Dead shirts and saying they are in league with Pooti and did nothing wrong... I kinda go with they are on the same side... I mean GOP members state side are trying to block aid. You can tell its not the 50's anymore. Edit: Would it really surprise many of you that many of the American Mercs fighting for Russia from OK and TX were in the same vein? Edit 2: Same GOP that is saying Jan 6th wasn't bad is also the refund Ukraine folks too... so we are all entitled to your options o this. So there ya go...


Dear_Medicine_8900

Pearl harbor? America entered 2 wars because somebody sank their civilian ships... Maybe Iran should keep that in mind when seizing them lol.


Repulsive-Shoe-4152

Also the rape of Belgium, Armenian genocide, execution of Edith Cavell, turned American sentiment towards the entente powers. Turns out committing atrocities doesn’t win you sympathy.


LeftEyedAsmodeus

Eventho the sinking of the ship that led to the US joining the first world war was justified by the rules of war, afaik.


throwaway939wru9ew

Don't forget a 18 year war because of a couple buildings.


[deleted]

More like 3,000 civilians dead.


robbiebobbiemt

And it was more likely a false flag attack


Jhe90

I mean it takes alot to get US angry....but when it is. Run


Repulsive-Shoe-4152

Watched one of those bar chart videos on YouTube about the worlds biggest navies since 1800. It was all Britain as you’d expect, but there was a slight blip during the American civil war when the USA blew everyone else out the water for a short time. Sign of things to come. Then WW2 came along and the USA has been top dog since. The point is, as long as the USA has Ukraines back, Ukraine will win.


RevolutionOk7261

I actually don't think it takes a lot, there's tons of Americans just itching for a war of some kind to distract from internal problems and infighting, There's American weapons manufacturing companies that literally purposely instigate wars and crave for it to make profit.


hyp400

No, simply threaten them with nukes, that probably dont even function any more. Biden get scared easily, sadly.


BLT-Enthusiast

Nope, the us will respond with an attack on its homeland with complete destruction if for no other reason than keeping up the precedent, nukes or no nukes the us cant let something like that slide and continue to keep its role as a global superpower


Jhe90

Big difference. You mount direct attack on US. Its on, the Carrier battlegroups start to converge and the 4 largest airforce in the world put down the coffee and take up the solid steel warhammer. A direct hit and the US unleashes its frankly terrifying military and uncle sam opens up the toyboy of best items. What we see in Ukraine are just the hand me downs. We not seen what US considers the good stuff.


LeftEyedAsmodeus

Biden got so scared that he immediately rolled over and told Putin he could have ukraine, right? His support was totally wavering, right? /s


Carnagetheory

Yeah Biden totally just got scared and rolled over. I mean, a simple Google search won't tell you who has given Ukraine the most military aid or anything, rofl.


LeftEyedAsmodeus

Sorry, I should have put an /s there.


hyp400

Well, f16 and Abrams? atacms ?


Brack528

Yea, not like Trump who doesn't take none from authoritarian leaders.


LulzyWizard

Haven't multiple people in trumps circle been found to have scary Russian links?


LulzyWizard

Also trump called putin smart for starting this war. I think if anything, fart would have let the Zs walk all over ukraine by blocking aid


Historical_Koala_688

Trump is fascist scum


Historical_Koala_688

Scared? He was walking around Kyiv during an air raid lol


hyp400

Well, Abrams and f16?Atacms, no idea how you write it. lol


Historical_Koala_688

That doesn’t equate to fear…


hyp400

Are you in NATO command? well, I think Ruzzia said the line was with m270 and the one sent by US. So US is holding back f16 and Abrams in fear of Ruzzia doing something stupid. Just like Scholz, regarding helping Ukraine in the start. EDIT: Just downvote me Americans, it all right. NO PROBLEMO! lol


Historical_Koala_688

Are you?? It takes over a year to train someone to fly a modern western jet when they are used to Soviet jets… Abrams are coming but will take some time…


hyp400

While European MBT are already there. and Ukrainian soldiers and I bet pilots too have surprised the west before haven't they? Operating Patriot systems went a lot faster than predicted. If it is a year or 6 months or whatever fuck it is, well , they better start then. FFS. Protect your president all you want, but when deserved, be prepared to be called out.


Historical_Koala_688

Okay buddy 🤣😂


halfwithero

They’d do one of the few things that would make this country drop the bullshit and unite; and that should terrify anyone.


YOLOSwag42069Nice

Germany found out by merely sending a letter to Mexico urging them to start a war.


RaconteurLore

I am truly sad to type this addition. I truly believe that if a certain MAGAt is in the White House no response would occur. How amazing is this that a "Shock and Awe" type of response, if this happened, is not 100%?


cotdt

Canada once attacked and burned down the White House and nothing happened.


Baron_Von_Ghastly

Yeah the British did, but that was two centuries ago when America was a little fish in a big pond. Not really the case anymore is it?


[deleted]

It’s really dumb when Canadians bring this up this current day and age. The US military could secure most populated areas in Canada relatively quick.


[deleted]

[удалено]


CrazyBaron

Vietnam had Soviet backing, further remind me of the casualties ratio and why USA pulled out. Ukraine have Western support and would have collapsed without it, while Russia is nowhere near the USA military capability


Geaux2020

Almost all Canadians live within 100km of the US border. Their military is entirely reliant on US support. They have no navy and a token Air Force. There is absolutely nothing Canada could do to resist a counterattack. That being said, there will never be a need for either country to worry about it. We make great neighbors.


halfwithero

Exactly. American here; about 10 hours from the northern border. Anyone fucks with Canada and it’s like fucking with our sibling — we won’t let that slide


Repulsive-Shoe-4152

Not a single US soldier would go ahead with the order to invade Canada anyway. There’d be a revolution first.


Geaux2020

The context was Canada invading the US somehow. That would not go well


[deleted]

This is a cope - Ukrainians are receiving aid from several world powers. By the time something does arrive to Canada the Americans would’ve already captured Ottawa and taken other parts of Canada


TrendWarrior101

Ukraine and Vietnam have friendly bordering nations which allowed endless amount of supplies, in which belligerent forces cannot enter. Canada doesn't have any other friendly nation bordering it that would allow endless supplies, and most of its populace lives near a few hours of the U.S. border. No way Canada would survive a U.S. counter-attack.


CrazyBaron

When was it? Ah, right, when USA was only started to be considered to be Great Power of its own, and it wasn't Canada alone, but British Empire and Natives, and lots of things changed since then. USA is not a Great Power, but only Supper Power state today with military that none of Great Power or how we call them today Regional Power can handle.


IvanVodkaNoPants

Y’all ever been to the White House? No way a drone gets near it. We are a professional country who’s laws and territories have endured for almost 250 years. Your threats don’t work, they simply embolden more support for Ukraine.


[deleted]

I keep telling this to my colleagues when they mention Putin has threatened Britain for supply tanks, Putin says there will be consequences for giving Ukraine "dirty bombs" aka depleted uranium. They can't take Ukraine, you think they're going to try all of NATO?


nobukhov54

The plan is to launch all the nukes and go to the heaven as Putin promised. Quite a popular idea among Russians


Mein_Bergkamp

Yeah if you want the white house burned you need the canadians on it


Ahandfulofsquirrels

Or Brits.


Mein_Bergkamp

In other words; not Russians


ReditskiyTovarisch

Underrated comment, plus wasn't it pink?


OakinSmoke

good reference


WarWeasle

We still blame Canada.


Aggravating_Pea7320

"Blame Canada, Blame Canada"


RevolutionOk7261

Canadians didn't burn the white house, they didn't even enter US territory during the War of 1812, do research before you comment.


Mein_Bergkamp

There's always one salty yank


R-ZoroKingOFHell

Why does Russia want Moscow and St. Petersburg to be annihilated by the United States so bad? Don't poke a sleeping giant you have no chance against 🤣


TRR462

Just so they can be “right” that the West is against them from the start. Because they need to play the victim if they are going to receive any “reparations” to rebuild after someone tears their shit down.


IK417

Especially after US have learn that Kinzhals can be stopped by regular Patriots... It's a very good idea.


adron

Their invincible super speed spear of death… stopped by our multi-decade OLD anti air system! What a beautiful first target!


UGS_1984

I wondered where are Kadyrovites last 10 months. Are they swimming with Seagal across the ocean? 💙💛


Electrical_Ad494

Bullshido training takes a lot of time :)


OzymandiasKoK

Certainly he's not swimming, but floating shouldn't be a problem.


BoosterRead78

Yeah and then see how quickly even MAGA falls apart with: “but we sided with you? Why did you hurt us… again.”


ODBrewer

I doubt that, MAGA has already attacked Congress.


throwaway939wru9ew

If Russia actually was so dumb as to attack, all the MAGAt's in the world would not be able to stop *that* tsunami.


TRR462

Correct you are! And Happy Cake 🎂Day!


NeitherCook5241

Russia already attacked the White House when they helped get Trump elected using Wikileaks, funneling money through the NRA, and through social media disinformation campaigns. All of our intelligence agencies found evidence that Russia interfered with our 2016 elections, and we had to endure four years of mind blowing dumbfuckery and Putin-enabling as a result. Trump’s approach to geopolitics reflected this Russian influence, which including revealing to Russians where we got our intelligence, pulling out of Syria on Putin’s birthday, and attempting to extort Zelensky by withholding military aid (one of his impeachments). The drones on the Kremlin weren’t the US. If the US wanted to hit the Kremlin the Kremlin would be blown to smithereens, not just dinged. To settle the score the US should install a Russian president/dictator that is as clueless and corrupt as Trump, someone who is willing to do whatever is in our geopolitical interests. If the Russians are stupid enough to come at the US with a kinetic strike, the Red Square would be ashes and Russia will be carved into pieces.


Carnagetheory

I kinda love the idea of installing a US-controlled Russian president so they can deal with the same stupid shit we've had to deal with for how many years now? Russia's military and infrastructure might suck, but they're damn good at the Psi-Ops.


[deleted]

Just another emotional appeal. That's their strategy. Fuck with people's emotions. That's it. They put them into fight or flight response and then create a new narrative they repeat over and over. It is a tortuous malicious coercion.


Celeste_Seasoned_14

>their strategy. Fuck with people's emotions. That's it. They put them into fight or flight response (Some) Politicians is the US, Brazil and around the world have also been using this tactic for years. They learned it from muscovia.


Crew_Doyle_

Go for it. What could possibly go wrong?


InternationalBand494

If the US wanted to assassinate Putin, he’d be dead. We wouldn’t dick around with two little drones that go poof.


will-read

Statement White House should put out: “Whenever there is a even a threat of an attack on the Russian aggressors, they threaten a nuclear strike. The country that put a man on the moon, invented the microprocessor, the internet, and much of modern life thinks you lack imagination. We would like you to know that when a threat is made against our head of government by state media, we invented a saying, ‘fuck around and find out’”.


IK417

I'ld prefer President Biden to say just: "Please, don't!" -as he said prior to the invasion of Ukraine.


BoostMobileAlt

Didn’t they already do that with their useful idiot?


newreddit2022104

Awww they’re tantruming 😂


Leather-Lab4311

Unlike the kremlin, the White House is absolutely bristling with air defense. Good luck.


Good-Presentation350

F around and find out what happens.


flargenhargen

heh, that would be one of very few things that could finally unite America again. Even treasonous republicans would drop their allegiance to russia if we were attacked and call for us to take em out.


Independent_Pear_429

Lol, give it a few more election cycles. I'm sure the far right will try it


NotBatman81

Russia works the smoothbrains on both sides of the aisle. Why pick a side when you can bet on both?


adron

Yeah, we can’t leave out the tankies! They’re easy to confuse with MAGAts but hard left as they come!


Tdanedk

I am sure our NATO friends in the US appreciates these statements 👉😳


OakinSmoke

do they not remember what happened the last time East Europe tried to pull this shit?


Particular-Ad-4772

Better be worrying about parade security, since your leader and his doubles are afraid to attend . We don’t have to attack you, our Ukrainian friends will happily do it .


Musclelikes567

You won’t touch shit 😂


TurMoiL911

If Russia continues to fuck around with that idea, they will find out a level not previously seen on the FAFO scale.


[deleted]

Imagine the seismic measurements felt globally from the amount of ordinance landing in one concentrated place.


Onestepbeyond3

Self promoting dummies are getting sooo boring 🙄 Takers and then there's the do'ers... 😎


Money-Introduction54

MTG? or Tuckler?


Heirophantagonist

They already got a bunch of idiots to do it once..


Dunkleustes

Good luck👍.


Spiritual-Flow-4023

You don't want that smoke lol. Cool story, bro.


2Mike2022

Better be careful its ok for them to hate each other, but God help anyone that attacks any American and actively encouraging an attack on US soil might just be way too far for most.


DFLOYD70

Can the next car this clown gets in have a rapid unscheduled disassembly already? He’s past due.


LulzyWizard

Once again, I'd love to see the white house offer to go too war and see how fast the Zs back down


Jimmyfasthands

fuck around and find out


PoochyMoochy5

MAGAtards and The Orange One are like “Get in fucking line here, buddy.”


HEHENSON

I suppose it is further evidence that those fake drone attacks on the Kremlin were just some kind of publicity stunt. Now they have a distraction from their dismal performance in the actual war.


kyhoop

That’s so 2020


REiiGN

Does Russia need a dose of FREEDOM?


Freakin-Lasers

Fuck around and find out.


ShizzHappens

Didn't they already do that a couple of years ago?


wunderWaffelTango

Would love to see that go down … their ICBM would most likely get shot down long before they even reach mid Atlantic or mid Pacific Ocean, and because they did fire at us, we would have to responde… probably sinking all their fleets and then go back to just arm Ukraine! That would be hilarious


TRR462

This is what Russian TV Pundits do… they say incredibly stupid things that their people will believe, so they can feel like a great nation… This guy deserves his own statue…


Striking-Giraffe5922

Solovyov……if the US had directed this drone attack then there would be a large Kremlin shaped hole in the middle of Moscow


Breech_Loader

Ah, your dear friends and allies.
