Kyiv subways are usually warm in the winter and that's where most of the shelters are. But yeah, I get it; can't imagine living there under constant threat.

Sadly some people might take the warning lightly and not go to shelters. Zelensky even said in his Letterman interview that people are getting used to air raid sirens =/

Fuck Putin the Terrorist

Well... there is a few options that are close, blood eagle, scaphism, brazen bull.

Huh. I knew the Moscow subway was built deep to double as a blast shelter. Kyiv's is 21 meters lower at its deepest, at 105 meters.

Meh, id just go with amazon gummy bears.

I would like to say that everyone in your life you consider close will be happy when you’re gone, but the reality is most of them won’t even notice.

How will Russia afford it?

He did it, he ended the war

They were supposed to win the first time they tried to attack Kyiv and got stuck in the mud. Not a single thing has gone to Russia's supposed plan, and Ukrainian winter just started.

It's like Putin hadn't learned anything from the Germans' attempted invasion of Stalingrad.

Didn't Russia sue for peace after the fall of Sevestapol and lose the Crimean War?

How do the Russians suddenly have so many missiles? Could the sanctions buster be getting around sanctions to get chips for the missiles?

Hammer time

Smart architects.

That’s because the smartest and most qualified people in the USSR came from Ukraine.

They're burning through their reserves yes, IIRC Russia is converting anti air missiles to surface ones, but yes there is no shortage of rogue nations/companies willing to overlook embargoes to keep delivering to Russia.

>so cold

no. it's ok now. thnx

Wasn’t that sub, the Moskova, built in Ukraine?

Russia tried to take all of Ukraine and was defeated by Ukraine.

So to save face Russia then tried to target the main cities in Ukraine forming long convoy lines that got totally destroyed and forced Russia to retreat again.

To save Face Russia said they only want a region at their borders as they invaded. Ukraine is currently making more and more gains, liberating more and more cities. And even got major ones.

Now Russia is throwing a tantrum and bombing civilians because they realized they don't have the military capabilities to take any Ukraine land, or even defend against Ukraine liberating the cities.

One thing is certain. Ukraine will win. Every day Ukraine is getting stronger with better weapon systems. First it was Howitzers. Then HIMARS. Now they are getting the Patriot Missiles. What will they be getting next?

And Everyday Russia is getting weaker. And more Desperate. The only question is how many more Russian lives with Putin send to their deaths before finally giving up.

Well the real question is will Putin give back Ukrainian land peacefully to ease up some of the sanctions. Or will he hold out until Ukraine forces them completely out and then Russia will be sanctioned for the foreseeable future like Cuba was.

Either way Russia has lost by any count.

The west hasn't even arrived yet lol

Example makes no sense, considering Russia lost the Crimean War.

Fuck Russia. I think it’s time I volunteer to go fight. I’ve had enough of this shit. Russian boys I’m coming for you.

These poor people. I can no longer sit by and watch! Time to contact the NYC embassy..

>Putin can't die quickly or painfully enough.

don't you mean, slowly?

Not some, but the vast majority. We just keep on living, being hit by a rocket is basically the same probability as being hit by car in an accident.

If you don't have combat experience you're fucked.

Btw, you don't want that smoke...... Just something to think about.

Yeah I don’t want the winter. But I do want that smoke. I have combat experience. These people need help.. it hurts to sit by and watch that I can give my time and presence to help at least 1 person.

Yes a long time ago, then the Russians stole it.

If you go they treat the foreign fighters as cannon fodder, just an FYI.

Ah really? Maybe I’ll wait until it’s warm.

is that you, Bob Newhart?

It could be that a lot of what we read is actually biased and alot of what Russians read is actually biased.

They already had a massive stockpile and are probably producing more domestically.

no sugar ones....for sure

They made for a consistent Alarm clock in the morning.

I dunno, that dude who dated Taylor Swift seemed okay after he came back

Have been listening to this for a year now almost... They have been on reserves since may... Are we sure this intel is correct?

Truth. A Chinese guy went full ji ping on me the other month and I just let it wash over me and said to myself “hes been drinking their Kool aid since as soon as he could absorb propaganda and so have I and they are alternate programs” so I didn’t bother to debate him on it. I just didn’t hang out with him again.

I’m wondering if they’re building them faster due to shenanigans with sanctions.

Uh Oh, you weren't supposed to bring this up in reddit.

This must have happened in Richmond, BC

After seeing the front combat videos, I just don’t understand what Russia hope to even archive. This is terrible but nothing to compare with real combat, Ukraine endured war and this is supposed to break them?

Boston ma. Several times.

Yes, he drank the Kool aid. Unlike you, who is immune to propaganda and is definitely hearing the truth.
Which is also why you're surprised by what is actually happening on the ground even though your informed, unbiased, non-kool-aid sources told you Russia has no more missiles...

fucking lol

Lmaaaaooo. You won’t do it.

Yeah app already filled out and submitted.

Post proof

I’ll respond to this when I get a response from my app. Problem is I have no passport.

Sorry brother but I’m calling bullshit on this one. 😜

[deleted]

> so have I

You just can't read.

Fucking lol indeed. WHY ARE YOU SO ANGRY!

...Are you replying to the person who said

>“hes been drinking their Kool aid since as soon as he could absorb propaganda and so have I and they are alternate programs”

...? Because they're explicitly not claiming to be immune to propaganda.

Just FYI, your name is visible at the top.

[removed]

I added up the numbers in the Ukrainian (!) claim about Russia's missile shortage and even ignoring the S-300 it added up to something like 1000 missiles (of different types).

Friendly reminder as to what people like these do to working families the second they can turn brother on brother over private equity.

The Russians are going to live in infamy forever

Kind of reminds me of drone attacks before the war in Ukraine

The West has made a lot of enemies in the past century

Are you open to the fact that you may also be biased? That's what the person you're replying to suggested

No, but see. Everyone I disagree with is necessarily drinking the Kool Aid, and I'm the smartest and most unbiased person in the known universe. That's how this works, okay?

Okay?

It's not really clear, to be honest. They should focus on speaking clearly before consuming propaganda

Ok and?

You're clearly looking for a reason to criticize and get fired up. Chill and read the text before you comment on it, you make yourself out to be a jerk. "fucking lol" really put it over the top.

It’s all good. A story as old as time. Literally!

Propaganda on both sides of a conflict goes way back!

Fog of war is very real

I wonder why such events are still a thing to deserve its own news title. We have them pretty much every day, they've become routine part of life, but this is how media work, I suppose.

Yes I was thinking "they must fire the last rocket soon", so something must have changed since may?

It confirms that the often-repeated "they're running out of missiles" is questionable even based on Ukrainian data, as a specific example confirming what you said.

Ahhh sorry I am slow as they come! Now I understand. Plz take an upvote

Motherfucker is on borrowed-time. Still, it can't happen quick enough!

God that’s just awful. They’ve been under attack and duress so long it doesn’t even phase them anymore.....

This is entirely my point. We as random internet ppl have no real idea. We can only see in real time that Russia is non stop bombing Ukraine with missiles

Built and sank.

“Moskva” is “Slava” class cruiser and they were built in Mykolaiv. 2 of them are still in russian navy, just not in Black Sea fleet. There’s also unfinished cruiser which is in Mykolaiv port

With that being said, if you've been prior service infantry, best of luck brother!

If you haven't already, watch a few of those foreign legion interviews they got good info on the fighting, equipment and lack of leadership.

Godspeed

My man just acted like his bleeding heart called him into battle but then decided to go to war during better weather conditions

So your saying Ukraine could sink two more subs yet? Neat!

Sorry Kyiv, we are too scared to help you.

If you look at his history, he is clearly a veteran or atleast has put months and months of work into this and research. There is all kinds of people on reddit.. vets being one.

Edit: point is, it's not super unlikely he is telling the truth. Atleast about being a war veteran.

[deleted]

I’m not immune to propaganda. I realize the pledge of allegiance from 6 on, Boy Scouts, a lot of history classes taught American exceptionalism.

Elementary school they told us America was the only free country in the world. My friend was English and she insisted it was a democracy and the teachers are like “oh no they aren’t free they have a monarchy”.

Also before the fall of the Berlin Wall the maps were all the wrong size. They showed the us Canada and Western Europe to be bigger than the Soviet Union… Soviet Union fell and we got regular maps and I wondered why they bothered to lie to us about the size of the country.

One map the continental us was bigger than russia.

So yeah I recognize he’s had his and I have had mine and we have counteracting programming, so I admit I have been programmed by America to be pro US and anti china basically and he’s anti America (despite living here, being poor in china, and rich here), and I knew not to bother.

Another guy wanted me to agree to all these Chinese state talking points (9 dash line, etc) and agree freedom of navigation should be illegal bc it says china on the South China Sea… it’s like I believe in freedom of navigation, international law, free hong kong, free Tibet. He stopped talking to me.

Maybe his electric maga hat stock is dropping like it’s hot but it’s not.

I admit it in my post. “He… absorbed propaganda… and so did I”

Yes I’m aware I even mention it.

It’s also called a rhetorical question. Like if I have been getting this info than why do they still have a lot? I’m questioning the source in my question and I’m admitting to being programmed by American propaganda at the same time as the Chinese guy was so I realized it wasn’t worth debating.

I’m not sure if you understood what I said. Big words and all.

So has russia. We were both in Afghanistan and both did the satellite country espionage thing and had our intelligence services all over foreign democracies trying to get a fair shake.

I think people just underestimated their stockpiles. Its A LOT. They did waste a good half of it, but another half still remains. And ukranian officials constantly assuring that "russians are about to run out of missiles" are not helping. I would rather believe, that they are about to run out of army itself, than missiles.

Yeah it seemed like they slowed down missile attacks for a time and focused on drones and then suddenly a ton of missiles again. Had there been a time with less missile strikes or am I remembering that wrong?

Jesus! Puto is still at it. He thinks he's going to live until 150? Not! I think he'll be toast in 2023

[deleted]

The thing is why tf you bragging on Reddit about it, just fucking do it. The people who are the loudest about are often the ones that won’t do a single fucking thing. If they cared that much they’d be getting their passport in order getting gear and planning a flight not arguing on Reddit about it.

How long will the world stand by and let Russia commit war crimes by targeting Ukrainian civilians?

Americans should send millions of cans of Crisco in protest to Putin and the FSB... To make sure Russians know what the rest of the world expects Putin’s demise to look like.

[deleted]

Ghadaffi was sodomized by his troops after his death.

Does Russia even have any missiles left?

Firstly that are 100% getting around sanctions, not too the quantities they truly need but that definitely are. Secondly, Russia has stepped up production and is now able to produce missiles faster than they're using them.

I'm fully aware of map projections and the Mercator issues but there is absolutely no real world map that shows the US bigger than the USSR or Russia. Perhaps you counted Canada and considered North America as a whole.

I recall so much Western experts saying Russia could only afford to have this army out for 2 weeks. Here we are almost a year later. I think it's safe to say we can't trust any source reliably right now.

At this point I would skip the quick and painful section and jump straight ahead to the dying part.

How is this change possible and what can be done?

Or I last saw it in 1993 when I was like ten.

Keep giving Ukraine weapons. Their missiles are low precision and don't really affect Ukraine's army that much. Therefore Russia is just wasting money at this point.

Yeah, the whole thing is a waste, and horrible.

I guess more Patriot missile systems are needed now?

We should raise them up not try and call them out, that's bitch mentality.

Good on him and thank you for caring about the people of Ukraine.

I said I got a different kind of kool aid in my post. I’m not sure why you’re angry, but perhaps work on reading comprehension or your adhd?

My supposition was that they were getting around sanctions more effectively recently, and I asked a rhetorical question based on that to elicit a response.

Is English not your first language?

Fuck that scumbag putin and russia! 🇺🇦🌻❤

As with Putin and Ukraine. The default setting of people is to tear down and humiliate.

Maybe he is venting. He was hardly bragging about it. Just sounds like jealousy. Why does anyone post or say what they say on reddit. Seriously.

The true Chinatown in BC. I couldn't believe how many places had no English or French on signage anywhere.

Facts.

Looks like I interpreted sth into your statement that wasn't there, my bad.
I was just going off of the general approach I always see in these Russia-related posts. English is my third language.

Yes, there was

So what changed?

Oh I hope they go bankrupt from the cost of the damage and the death they did in Ukraine and that they try all the war criminals and see them sentenced in The Hague, where they’re building a case right now. They have been forensically collecting data from everywhere liberate like a modern crime scene. Volunteers around the world have archived every tweet and telegram and other video posted by Russians media and Ukraine and has sorted it so there will be a big expensive trial. Until then they’ll keep ramping up sanctions and figuring out how the Russians manage to get stuff still.

[removed]

They got butthurt over succesful Ukranian attacks.

Yeah they’re gonna be really hurting when we don’t drop the sanctions until they pay to repair the country and pay pensions for the killed and injured. I hope they never drop sanctions and let Russia turn into North Korea.

F em.
