You mean to show how fast they can run away?
Evilsandwichman@hexbear.net 5 months ago
TIL running away means going right up in to your enemy’s face

Run away is how you capture territory in war? 🧐

“Show of force”
We’ve been watching your show of force for few years now and it’s been unremarkable to say the least. A country without a navy has sunk your Black Sea fleet with modified jet skis. Just imagine what a country with navy could do.

I hope they took the opportunity to bring some supplies made scarce by the blockade

Wow, they actually made it, well done russkies! Next, try to get the aircraft carrier work at least a week. That will put the fear into the hearts of every westerner.

Looks like it’s time for Ukrainian Special Forces to go to work.

Work where? The war crimes division of Nazi HQ?
Relax buddy, people are allowed to work together. Even if you don’t like a particular country.

Is that located inside the Kremlin?

Maybe they’re looking for their missing sub too?
psmgx@lemmy.world 5 months ago
ol they can’t even protect their own ships next to Crimea. Homemade ski-do torpedo get the job done.
Meanwhile they’re rocking a small flotilla geographically near the US?
“Oh but they could have nukes” the Russians already have ICBMs, like who tf cares? At this point all they can really do is threaten undersea cables or underwater gas pipelines

Boromir: One does not simply walk into Mordor
Russia: swaggers into Mordor
Hoo boy the orcs and goblins are going to be hooting and hollering.
Num10ck@lemmy.world 5 months ago
since this has no obvious strategic benefit, I’m starting the rumor that Putin is secretly on board and is going to Cuba for cancer treatment.
Steady hands.
