Russia invades Ukraine

[Huntingwhale]

Hey guys, happy 10 days from now we will harshly sanction russia day! Today's the big day!

What's that? Putin and Trump want to hand over what the russians stole for a fake-ass ceasefire that benefits only russia? In other words, the Orc manager and literal pedophile president are deciding the fate of a sovereign nation without said nation's input?

TACO friday.

It's a little weird, because he's struck hard at India for buying Russian oil. That never really fit is M.O., so I suspect that is along the lines of the fentanyl excuse. They can legally justify the tariffs because India is breaking sanctions.


I didn't get the rationale right away, but it makes sense now.

"We did not want to go public with this one, but it seems to be the right time. Flamingo is the long-range cruise missile that can carry a 1,150 kilogram warhead and fly into Russia for 3,000 kilometers,” Iryna Terekh, the company's CEO and technical director, told POLITICO in an interview from her office.

"I would say there is some sort of big dick energy moment. You don’t need a scary name for a missile that can fly 3,000 kilometers," Terekh said of the missile's claimed range. "The main goal is for a missile to be effective.”

Fabian Hoffmann, a doctoral research fellow and missile expert at the University of Oslo, called the missile "Ukraine’s strongest security guarantee."

“People want results; they want to see Red Square on fire. But it’s important to understand we’re not terrorists like our neighbors,” Terekh said. “We founded our company in response to Russia's aggression, but we have no aggressive intentions; we’re ready to protect our sovereignty.”

Lots of hopium this week regarding the new Flamingo missile Ukraine has been developing recently. Let's hope that turns into a ####ton of copium for the russians when mass production is underway.

Well maybe not Red Square itself, but the Kremlin is definitely a legitimate target. Light it up.

Putin's palace on the black sea should be ashes already...

3,000 km is a pretty damn long way. Basically can hit any major Russian City west of Novosibirsk, which is the vast majority of major Russian cities/ developments. And a lot of their industrial base.

Can they reach his Tacky Palace in Sochi?

They could already glass that, but there's more valuable targets I am sure. Fun to think about though.
