I wish more German soldiers were punished for shooting Polish people [finger of the monkey's paw curls]

The only way to remove it is with an 'exile' effect

*NATO *10 years ago

It was a joke...

Saint Petersburg

Where's that? Is it near Leningrad?

Russia and Ukraine have a long and bloody history

No they fucking don't! They have an extremely short history of conflict, this shit kicked off literally just ten years ago!!

In 2014, the US launched a coup against Ukraine to replace the democratically elected government with Nazis (and I don't mean that hyperbolically, I mean actual Hitler-worshipping Nazis) who immediately started persecuting the minority of Russian-speaking Ukrainians. After eight fucking years of doing nothing as the Ukrainian Nazis constantly escalated, Putin finally got it through his thick skull that the west was never going to treat them as an equal and launched an incredibly restrained military action to knock the coupists out of the Ukrainian government and protect the now-autonomous Russian-speaking regions.

The result is this:

When a peace deal was about to be signed in April 2022, Boris Johnson personally flew to Kiev and through a combination of lies and threats convinced Zelensky to tear up the deal and continue fighting.

The unfathomable devastation, the destruction of enormous swathes of infrastructure and the catastrophic death toll of Ukrainian men are squarely the fault of the Nazi regime in Kiev and their western - let's not beat around the bush - their US handlers. Ukraine had a peaceful and beneficial relationship with Russia from independence all the way up to the moment the US took direct control of it and suicided it into Russia for their own geopolitical gain.

No, they're right, Xi would be helpless trying to explain dialectical materialism to a reader of the Wall Street Journal

No, and we probably never will for sure, but it ran away and really that's embarrassing enough.

Damn, cause from here it seems kinda like all their Nazi shock troopers got smoked

What do you mean? Now the brave Ukrainian resistance can use those ~~Schutz Staffel~~ Storm Shadows or whatever the fuck to not only blow up grocery stores in downtown Donetsk, but also blow up grocery stores in downtown Belgorod too!

There was another post somewhere with the calculation of the actual explosive warhead mass converted into TNT equivalent, and it was around 6kT total, just over a third of Little Boy which was 15kT. Which is still absolutely fucking insane.
