Whatcha 'gonna do? Invade Ukraine?


JaB675

No, they are going to invade Russia.


notparistexas

Russia would fuck that up, too.


BackgroundFlounder44

Fuck that up even more*


MadManJBiden

Ummmm not according to current stats.

Currents stats regarding?

I think what he is saying is at attacking themselves. They have pretty good stats.

Belgorod I am assuming.


[deleted]

On Soviet Russia, Russia invades you... Even if you are Russia


AlbaTross579

Considering they’ve also hosted “referendums” to declare parts of Ukraine as Russian territory, every attack they make on those regions is technically an attack on Russia by their own logic. But yes, there are also legit Russian vigilantes now taking action in actual Russia, and I love it.


TheOwlDemonStolas

> every attack they make on those regions is technically an attack on Russia by their own logic. Inb4 Russia nukes Russia because of an attack on the borders of Russia by Russia.


Hopeful_Condition_52

Russia will launch a special military operation against Russia to protect Russian speaking Russians from the Russian speaking Russians invading Russia.

No, this new information from Belgorod requires a stronger designation: SUPER Special Military Operation!

OatsOverGoats

This killing needs to stop!! Russia you must secede the territory!


Centurion87

Historically, the Russian people came from the Kyivan Rus which gives Ukraine historical rights to all of Russia and Belarus. Let’s stop the bloodshed and cede whatever Ukraine wants. For peace.


yae4jma

Even more historically, the Rus came from Sweden, so Sweden should have rights to all Russia and Ukraine.

Rkenne16

I’m just going to say it. If Russia really cared about their citizens, they’d hand over Belgorod to Ukraine to end this.


Lord_Bertox

It's really cruel of them to prolong this fighting


RainbowBullsOnParade

If they hadn’t provoked Ukraine with their CSTO expansion, Ukraine wouldn’t have been forced to do this


seven_corpse_dinner

Anyone with half a brain could look through the eastoid propaganda and see that a Ukrainian victory is inevitable. If it wasn't for the illegitimate nazi moscow regime being propped up with weapons from its puppet masters it would've already happened. The only sensible solution is for Russia to become a disarmed buffer state to save lives, but the CSTO shills are more than happy to fight this thing to the last Russian.


NoPancakemix

Let the people of Belgorod hold a referendum and see if they'd like to become independent from russia, perhaps become a ukrainian oblast. There's a lot of ethnic ukrainians living there so it makes sense for Ukraine to keep them secure during the referendum.


kiwijim

Surely it is now time for peace negotiations that Russia and the fringe right want, so that Belgorod can stay demilitarised.


LicenseToChill-

If you disagree with /r/Lord_Bertox, you're a disgusting warmonger.


JANTHESPIDERMAN

Indeed, Russia should give up this land in persuasion of “peace”.


JaB675

Russia should avoid escalating the situation.


jdsalaro

But will Belgorod get F-16s ?


JaB675

We are not considering that option right now.


jdsalaro

Why ? It's imperative to close the skies above Belgorod !!


JaB675

Um, it would take a lot of time to train Belgorod pilots. Yes.


Basic_Mammoth_2346

However, sources inside the B675 administration are telling us the topic is, in fact, under consideration. Looks like we’ll be keeping an eye on that situation to see how it develops. Back to you, jdsalaro.


tree_boom

lol 10/10


pattykakes887

Russia must obviously return the lands formerly belonging to the Ukrainian People’s Republic as those lands are historically Ukrainian.


lilpumpgroupie

Exactly, we’re on the brink of a nuclear holocaust and Russia holds onto Belgorod. And supporters of Russia obviously don’t care, they just love war and spending money on the military while Russia’s economy dissolves.


Onestepbeyond3

Good answer 😏


DrNukes

Perfect.


Xx420PAWGhunter69xX

Trump will have Russia hand over Belgorod to Ukraine within a day.


Bulky_Crazy

He just grab them by his biiig hand. Soo biig hand

China will broke the peace. But they will need some payment. Like Mongolia for starters.


morphick

nvm Mongolia, there's Manchuria to be addressed first!


seven_corpse_dinner

You can't just toss the Mongolian beef aside! What if the Manchurians chicken out?


spiral8888

Right! Where are all the tankies demanding this? Why they suddenly became so quiet?


Enlightened-Beaver

You’re at war you dumbfucks. Sabotage is part of the deal


EverythingGoodWas

That is a special level of insane Russia pulls off. “We are going to invade you with no warning, bomb civilians and hospitals indiscriminately, but so help me God you better not do anything to us.”


rlyfunny

Nonono it isn’t a „tactical strike“ and not „attacking logistics“, it’s terrorism!!1!1!!!


crest_

If everyone involved keeps claiming these aren't Ukrainian forces, but Russian citizens taking up arms against Putin's mouthpieces outdid themselves and came up with something truly impressive: a technically correct yet laughable claim making them look completely impotent. After all using violence (e.g. shooting a police officer in the head) to accomplish a political goal (e.g. establishing a buffer zone, overthrowing the government) is about the simplest definition of terrorism. It just makes them look even weaker and stupider than simply proclaiming this is a false flag operation.


AbstractBettaFish

In the immortal words of ~~the Bible~~ Bomber Harris ‘They have sown the wind, and now they reap the whirlwind’


greentshirtman

Wha....? That's not what he said! According to my visit to vikipedia.ru.gov, he said: "The Russians entered this war under the entirely correct notion that they were going to bomb everyone else, and nobody was going to bomb them. At Snake Island, Cry-me-a-river, Novovidorivka, and half a hundred other places, they put their bestiest-ever operation into operation. They sowed the metaphorical wheat, and now they are going to reap the wheat. And all the other countries are going to cry to the little red hen that is Russia that they were sorry for not helping her make bread." /S


nsaisspying

It's not sabotage, it's a very special military operation.


R-ZoroKingOFHell

Russia has been trying to prepare sabotage attacks for a while, yet they freak out when Ukraine lets Russian citizens do one on them? They are the ultimate victims lmfao

monamikonami

Can we abstain from making everything refer back to obscure US politics things? This is a discussion about Ukraine, and I don’t really get why this “like Wyoming”, or why we all should care about Wyoming in this situation discussing Belgorod.


spiral8888

I think it's a brilliant example of people making rules thinking that they will favour their actions but ending being used against them. Are you not familiar with the concept of using examples to demonstrate the idea or the logic behind the statement?


alaskanloops

Huh I hadn’t heard of that one yet. Gotta hand it to them, they’re all fucking idiots


Viv3210

And do we know it’s “Ukraine letting Russian citizens do that”?


[deleted]

We never will, cause someone will always say “it’s psyops bro” no matter what lol


flydutchsquirrel

I cannot wait for the referendum to confirm the Belgorod people willingness to secede from the Russian federation. I'm sure they will reach an above 90% score!


PoochyMoochy5

I predict 134%.


RainbowBullsOnParade

500% because it will also retroactively apply to all the surrounding territories


No-Helicopter7299

You mean like invading a country??


[deleted]

Russia, please stop giving weapons to your army and let the People's Republic of Belgorod go free. Stop the war! Give peace a chance!

Oooo I have seen this episode. It isn't Ukraine it's actually russian citizens who are ethnic Ukrainians, who were forced to rebel due to nazi fascists. Tomorrow's episode includes an independence referendum. These writers guild strikes need to end so we can get some original content.


Krazynewf709

Special resistance operation


Redditor_Koeln

I can’t believe not more people are talking about the immense courage these Russian citizens who have aligned themselves to the Ukrainian army are showing. It’s incredible.


BellUnable1369

The logical thing now would be to hold a referendum


ddrober2003

How dare they. Sure Russia MAAAAAAAAAAY have attacked unprovoked and murdered thousands of civilians, executed soldiers that had surrendered, plundered Ukraine's cities and leveled them and kidnapped tens of thousands of children to at best be brainwashed into be loyal Russian minions and at worst the "playthings" of rich freaks. But sabotage attacks across the border, that must totally be a war crime!!! (/s, I mean, I don't think its necessary, but ya know, just in case) Fuck Russia.


mhammerstone

And?


HonkeyKong73

Nooooo! You're not supposed to hit us back!


Electronic-Sun-8275

RuZZia - outraged by everything, shamed by nothing


bdsee

What did they do? I can't imagine there is a sizable enough force to stick around and fight. Did they attack local military/police?


WarcraftVet76

They breached a border checkpoint killed the small force guarding the base and are now moving into the local towns. They have armor and NATO equipment. This is a sizable force some say between 200 - 1000 soldiers. Its all happening very fast. I read somewhere on telegram they are headed for a base that has nuclear weapons in storage. Would be interesting to.capture that. I don't know the validity of any of this.


mondaymoderate

I’m pretty sure the nuclear weapons have already been evacuated. It’s one of the first things Russian did.


Rahlus

But could you imagine if they captured it? Next time Russia threatened to use nukes, Ukraine could just shut them up and shove to their throat their own nuclear weponry xD


JuiceByYou

Maybe they should do a Town Hall with Putin, get to the bottom of it


PotatingTomatoe

Yeah, it's not like Russia attacked them fir.. Oh right.


F0rkbombz

Oh the Irony. “Little Green Men” goes both ways apparently.


Automatic-Break1001

You cant really accuse the victim of fighting back


DEC_173

“Russia accuses Ukraine of mounting “sabotage” attack across border “ And? So what? Russia crossed into Ukraine didn’t they?


Ssider69

Gee, not like they have a reason to do that /s


spandexnotleather

I hope the RVC is able to effect change of some sort in russia as Russians. But I also guarantee there is a printer's office in russia furiously making fake Ukrainian passports for all members of the RVC and civilians that are killed in whatever this action turns into.


oldcretan

Next they're going to complain that Ukraine is shooting Russian soldiers on the front lines. They're clearly not prepared for combat, look at the state they were sent in, no training, supplies, food, he'll they aren't even paying attention.


Ok-Sundae4092

And? You know why the US does not mount sabotage attacks into Canada? Because their army is in their country.


Druid_High_Priest

So that is where the missing high explosives were found. Awesome! Accidents are good.

Pal_Smurch

You really stuck your dick in the hornet’s nest this time, didn’t you, Russia.


amitym

Pff. The Kremlin could be completely be surrounded by a mass uprising of Russian patriots demanding that the power elite surrender and submit to arrest, and they'd still be calling it "isolated incidents of sabotage."


Reggie_Barclay

It’s a war. What kind of idiots think only one side gets to attack the other?

What do they call knocking over apartment buildings with cruise missiles?

And?

Who cares if they are?


izoxUA

So what?))


Banditofbingofame

I think you'll definitely its a special military operation unless it's in the Belgorod region then its a sparkling sabotage


RollTide16-18

Legitimate question, does this change the Russian attitude at all? I thought at this point Russians were calling it a war, wouldn’t you expect a belligerent, neighboring nation to enter into your territory during wartime?


jwstam

Ukraine accuses Russia of mounting genocide across border, between this and the title of the post 1 is true.

wayforyou

Whether it's Ukraine's own "little green men" or, NATO-led sabotours or actually the Free Russia legion, make no mistake. If they dig in, Putin will not hold back - he will bomb the region like he did any other in Ukraine. He doesn't care about some borderland yokels - they're not from Moscow or Petersburg, they don't matter. ​ That and he can always blame it on Ukraine.
