Dont forget the double taps...

u/theaviationhistorian 16h ago

Only the cruelest countries and nonstate actors (like drug cartels) commit to double taps.

Israel got fugging dogged on at its inception. It's a big part of why they're such heartless bastards now - they know too well that their neighbours are just as bad.

They save those for women and children.

u/Significant-Trash632 16h ago

Did they learn that from the US or did the US learn that from Isreal?

u/The_Brain_FuckIer 15h ago

The US started doing it during WWII, though I think the British invented it? Dropping bombs with time delay fuses set to go off 30 minutes-24 hours after the bombing run

u/Can-i-Pet-Dat-Daaawg 18h ago

The bombings will continue until morale improves.

I secretly wish this would be your top awarded comment

u/smithers85 16h ago

Isn't that the US's Iran War strategy?

u/Gregarious_Grump 16h ago

It's working almost as well

u/quizat-haderach 14h ago

What strategy?

u/DrumsAndStuff18 14h ago

That's the joke.

u/elehim63 17h ago

Lolol.

u/Successful_Flow1329 9h ago

The morale of Ukrainians cannot improve beyond "never surrender"

Now is the winter of our discount tank

u/JezSq 16h ago

Not “will”, already does. Part of Odesa is without electricity.

u/masnart 15h ago

Something is telling me that this winter it's not gonna be a one way street anymore. Putin will make a Pikachu face again

1

u/covid-19map 4h ago

I’m sure they won’t. Because then Moscow will also end up without power this winter and that will be Putins deathbed.

u/Unpaid_Moderation 18h ago

Good, I wonder what country nearby Ukraine will actually help out

u/Meth_taboo 18h ago

Why don’t you go there and ask for yourself?

No one in the area wants conflict.

The polish people and neighboring countries have been attack from both sides east and west for nearly a thousand years. You don’t fight Russia. Russia shouldn’t fight its neighbors.

Yet here we are. When I lived in Poland it wasn’t uncommon for Russia to shut off gas deliveries in winter and the people have just become accustomed to it. I honestly don’t think it’s malicious it’s just Soviet area infrastructure being held together with 40 years of bandaids.

Don’t assume malice in what can otherwise be explained by incompetence

u/Unpaid_Moderation 18h ago

I'll see if north korea can send more military aged men up to help Russia

u/StrongBuy3494 18h ago

That’s very reminiscent of the Holodomor.

He's anything but an idiot. This speech is propaganda.
