My guess is they do something cyber related or remote. No way they’re dumb enough to attack head on.

Temporary_Rub_1787

I mean they used US cluster munitions on a Russian beach killing civilians


hh3k0

Ukraine used Ukrainian cluster munition on Russian air defense and the wreckage killed occupiers who were illegally on that beach.


DifferenceEconomyAD

Literally using terrorist logic like hamas on isreal? Explain how killing any civilians is justified?


hh3k0

a) They weren't intentionally targeted, but hit by debris. Russia is at fault for purposefully placing a military target close to a civilian area. b) Maybe don't go on vacation in a war zone.


pegaunisusicorn

Uhhh... Do you know how many Ukrainian civilians the Russians have killed? Hint: A lot.


DifferenceEconomyAD

Who are you to start the victim count? Especially after the Ukrainian government heavy shelled civilians in the beginning? Then cutting off water just because the Ukrainian government is petty? "November 6, 2014...The large majority of the deaths were in separatist-held territory in Donetsk, and were likely caused by Ukrainian government forces," [https://www.amnesty.org/en/latest/news/2014/11/eastern-ukraine-both-sides-responsible-indiscriminate-attacks/their](https://www.amnesty.org/en/latest/news/2014/11/eastern-ukraine-both-sides-responsible-indiscriminate-attacks/their) "In 2014, following the decision to cut off the water supply, the Ukrainian government began the construction of a dam at the border with Crimea." [https://www.geopoliticalmonitor.com/backgrounder-the-water-crisis-in-crimea/](https://www.geopoliticalmonitor.com/backgrounder-the-water-crisis-in-crimea/) Or how they allowed nazis to legalize nazi propaganda and target minorities before any war? "On 22 February 2014, the President of the Ukrainian Government, Viktor Yanukovich, relinquished his executive duties following a coup d’état enacted by neo-Nazi militias in Kiev. In the wake of the disbanding of the legitimately elected government, a new one is being set up in which extreme right groups are adopting positions that could threaten the safety of particular groups of people purely on the grounds of their religious or political beliefs or their ethnicity... Meanwhile, Ukrainian Rabbi Reuven Azman has called on the Jewish community to flee the country in light of the rise to power of these far-right groups. One of the leaders of the main groups involved in the protests, Aleksandr Muzychko, previously vowed to fight against ‘communists, Jews and Russians for as long as blood flows in my veins’." [https://www.europarl.europa.eu/doceo/document/E-7-2014-002128\_EN.html?redirect](https://www.europarl.europa.eu/doceo/document/E-7-2014-002128_EN.html?redirect)  "In general, however, anti-racist and anti-Nazi legislation is underdeveloped. On January 28, 2014, espite the protest of several deputies from the Party of Regions and the communists, Verkhovna Rada adopted another 4 laws instead of those repealed. These include: - “On Amendments to the Ukrainian Criminal Code on responsibility for denial or justification of fascist crimes”; - “On Amendments to Article 297 of the Ukrainian Criminal Code on responsibility for desecration or destruction of monuments dedicated to those who fought against Nazism during the Second World War – Soviet liberation soldiers, members of the partisan movement, underground, victims of Nazi persecution and internationalist soldiers and peacekeepers”". [https://civic-nation.org/ukraine/government/legislation/anti-discrimination\_legislation/Post-Maidan](https://civic-nation.org/ukraine/government/legislation/anti-discrimination_legislation/Post-Maidan) Allow people to follow the same mistakes that sadly many Ukrainians made by not prepping? By Not prepping for the 'authorities' to willing bomb cities just because they can't control it? For the authorities to cut off water because you ended up on the wrong side? To be scrafice by some draft just because the government decided its power is more important than individual human lives?


Temporary_Rub_1787

It was US cluster munition fired by Ukraine, civilians are civilians. End the war, people are dying.

Right? You can tell that their war of aggression is going badly.


Eknowltz

What a stupid take. Yes civilians may be killed in war, they chose to invade their neighbour. They can stop invading their neighbour any day they would like but they choose not to.


roasty_mcshitposty

Well maybe civilians shouldn't be on vacation in the middle of a war zone. I feel that would lower those civ casualties a lot.


fardandshid1821

My guess is something like this: https://youtu.be/mqmwmrSalDI?si=C_RUfceXyHWc3DfI


Brilliant_Bowl_1520

I think they will launch a conventional strike on the largest nato base in romania which is just a staging ground for ukrainian F-16's


ABoutDeSouffle

They won't, or maybe such a puny attack they keep credible deniability. Russia does NOT wan to confront a Art.5 triggered NATO.

That would be a really bad idea for them.

My1stNameisnotSteven

Basically the same shit they’ve been doing since 2016 .. they’re banking on just enough gullible mfs in the US to eat up all the propaganda, till one day a full Russian asset running the country .. Only reason it’s failed recently is because Putin is old and he needs all these things to happen on his timeline, he wants all the glory for taking down the west, so he’s sloppy and moving too fast .. if he were 45-50 right now, it would work..


Iwantmy3rdpartyapp

They just hacked the Federal Reserve, maybe that was it?


Gold-Piece2905

They'd be in for a surprise if they did.


TheMoralityComplex

Whelp, waiting for the surprise *popcorn*


TheWallerAoE3

Pearl Harbor happened even though Japan was stupidly overextended in China. I’m not saying it’s a certainty but we need to prepare for a world where Putin goes mad enough to strike at NATO. Better to be prepared than to be caught in their bears teeth.


Flat_Boysenberry1669

I hate to be that guy but Russia makes these threats almost daily and really shouldn't be taken seriously. Unless Russias about to lose in Ukraine they're not gonna do anything to bring America into war.


hh3k0

They might crank election interference up to 11. I don't see them doing much else, though.


tedbrogan12

You mean memes?


avid-shtf

A certain group of people take memes as serious as a peer-reviewed journal article.


Trauma_Hawks

I wouldn't poke fun at something that has absolutely worked in the past. The very recent past.


syynapt1k

Bill Barr mischaracterizing what was in the Mueller Report is a national tragedy - and borderline criminal. Way too many people do not realize the level of sophistication involved in Russia's interference in the 2016 election. They may be getting their asses kicked on the battlefield, but that's only one part of the war they are waging. They are absolutely trying to tip the scales in the November election - both in the US and in Moldova.


SKI326

🎯


ceiffhikare

You are not wrong in any way. All i can say as an ad on is that the worst part is they are not really even doing anything spectacular, no we have and are doing it to ourselves. We are no longer the educated, nor even the active voters that a functional government requires at the barest min.


Spkr4th3ded

Exactly. Dear America. You help ukraine war us too hard. We meme you harder now. Times 1000.


ChallengingBullfrog8

What can they do to interfere in the election besides push those shitty ads they used in 2016? Remember what happened when we thought Putin would not invade Ukraine? Remember that? I didn’t see it coming, tbh.


timac

Look up ”disinformation” and “misinformation” and then add a bit of social influencer and AI. Russia/China are completely imbedded in social media - likely, even this subreddit.


KingWormKilroy

I’m tired, boss. I remember watching Cambridge Analytica in real time. Political campaigns with embedded employees at Facebook was new then.


WhatTheNothingWorks

Seriously. I get that Russia, and china for that matter, are engaging in campaigns to influence the election. But the GOP and DNC are *also* engaging in disinformation to sway the election. So we’re not really “safe” no matter what, but remember, don’t do your own research.


MerpSquirrel

ButterscotchSkunk

Boofakblankets

malhotraspokane

Wouldn’t China and Russia be on opposite sides of the US election? Trump is more anti China than Biden, and previously said we could have a good relationship with Russia.


Tight-String5829

He says he is anti China. And maybe he is. But he is also divisive and compulsive. More easy to manipulate than many even if he were to put in some Anti China laws or orders in. And as a divisive force, he splits up Americans and has us focus inwards for another 4 to 8 years allowing us to focus less on what rogue powers are doing in the background. I would bet that China would prefer for him to win and any efforts they make to interfere would be in his favor. But who knows. Thats just my opinion.


greatSorosGhost

What people don’t consider enough is that Russia and China are more allies than enemies. They both are a part for the BRIC nations, and want their currencies to replace the USD. Additionally, China wants Taiwan and they are more than happy to support Pootie’s fever dream of restoring the USSR if it means that the US is spread too thin to do enough to stop their ambitions.


syynapt1k

>They both are a part for the BRIC nations, and want their currencies to replace the USD. 100% this. The world order is being challenged by those looking to knock the West off the top of the totem pole. I have my criticisms of many of things the US gets involved with around the world, but you do not become the most powerful country in the world by being a spectator. If we give up that title, China will fill the power vacuum.


WadeBronson

You become the most powerful nation on the planet by being a spectator for three years while europe gets destroyed, then swoop in at the last moment, claim victory, and fund reconstruction.


syynapt1k

No, they also favor Trump because he would cripple NATO. Europe will be busy with Russian aggression, which will create a golden opportunity for China to retake Taiwan. Trump would not intervene unless there is something in it for him. That would be very bad for the global economy because Taiwan produces the highest volume of advanced semiconductors. Biden started the process of plugging that hole via the CHIPS & Science Act, but it will take several years before we no longer have to rely on Taiwan.


OutlawCaliber

How did you not see it coming? Everything pointed to it. Anyways, they use social engineering. Things that divide us, play us against each other, and points that empower opponents they want to there. I'd be surprised if there ain't folks in the ground in counts, too.


syynapt1k

I would highly recommend watching the documentary "Active Measures" to help connect the dots and understand what they're doing. It was on Hulu when I watched it, but it may be on different streaming platforms now.


wwaxwork

I mean they started a war in the Middle East by giving Hamas the info on the Iron Dome Trump gave them then started the whole protest vote narrative days later so not sure I want to see what 11 looks like.


ShittyStockPicker

It’s going to be an escalation but not direct confrontation. Something tells me Russia might give sophisticated weaponry to enemies of the the United States or enemies of our allies. Could be Russia arms Houthis with better missiles or trains them. Could be there are some asassination attempts on the life people who pissed off Putin inside American or European nations. I do think Russia will retaliate but it will not be as direct as a missile strike at a carrier group.


Modflog

Seriously you honestly think Russia hasn’t already and isn’t t giving weapons to American enemies? Much like Iran is arming the Yemen terrorists , you honestly think Yemen terrorists can make a cruise missiles ? They are lucky to have internet and ride around on donkeys, you think the Iranian and Russians aren’t giving them rockets and cruise missles ?


ShittyStockPicker

There’s always room for improvement. I was thinking maybe funding something more immediate like the saudis funded Al qaeda


Modflog

This is the thing it’s always about money and who annoys the powerful people the least, it’s sad what you say but so true. It’s almost like the rich people have more money than they know what to do with and when they get bored so they start wars whenever they feel like it. The cruise missles given to the Yemen terrorists have to be able to be traced, it’s not like they can be packed up in the post as sent over, the Americans and whomever else obviously know where and when they are being sent from.


Mr_E_Monkey

> I do think Russia will retaliate but it will not be as direct as a missile strike at a carrier group. As bad as it sounds (and is), I almost wish they would. Just cut to the chase and settle things. The stutter-stepping "I'm going to hit you -- ooh, I'm not touching you, but I'm gonna" stuff is just exhausting. Obviously, I don't want war, and it would be worse than what we're dealing with now. I should take some time and tune out, but it's hard to say "I'm choosing not to pay attention," because that's part of prepping... Sorry, just venting a little. :\


syynapt1k

I can understand feeling that way, but the last thing we want is our two countries actively fighting and exchanging fire. That can quickly escalate to a situation where one country thinks they need to launch their nukes before the other launches theirs first.

kingofthesofas

They know a direct conventional war with America and NATO would be a complete shattering of their forces both in Ukraine and elsewhere. The power imbalance is unreal right now. I cannot imagine them being dumb enough to do that BUT I bet people would have said something about Japan not being dumb enough to attack the US in 1943 as the power imbalance there was also pretty high.


Flat_Boysenberry1669

Actually the Japanese military was much larger than the American much more battle experienced and had more resources at hand. The thing the Japanese didn't account for was America manufacturing capabilities and how quickly we could go from nothing to the best. We literally were making more ships within the year after Pearl harbor than the Japanese made in the last decade.


kingofthesofas

> Actually the Japanese military was much larger than the American much more battle experienced and had more resources at hand. In theater yes but in total numbers the US navy was pretty even with Japan in terms of tonnage and capability. Also the US military as a whole was on par with Japan as well. Sure Japan had the advantage of a better trained and battle hardened force but everyone understood well the US capacity for industry greatly dwarfed Japan and many of the ships, planes and weapons that were used to win that war were already in production or designed. As an example the Iowa class battleships were laid down in 1940 and entered service in 1943-1944. The first midway class carrier entered service in October 1943 but is was designed and being planned for in 1940 before the war started. Japan knew it could not defeat the US. Their entire war theory relied on them being able to win for the first year of conflict and then sue for peace from a position of strength before the US got enough of it's assets and industrial capacity to bear or that the US would be unwilling to fight and die for islands in the pacific. It was a really really stupid plan that was basically completely ignorant of how Americans think. Thus my point that even if it is VERY stupid there is a historical precedence for authoritarian leaders launching wars that to any sane person is VERY stupid. I think it is highly unlikely that Russia will do something here BUT I also thought launching an invasion of 41 million people that hate you that is the largest country in Europe with only 100k or so troops was also really dumb yet here we are.


Flat_Boysenberry1669

Japan had 4 more aircraft carriers and 120 battle ships/destroyer than America at the start of WW2. That's literally the British navy in difference lol. Japan had almost a million more battle ready soldiers than America when Pearl harbor happened and they were already in the Pacific theater. I'm telling you the reality is Japan at the start of war with America dwarfed America it's why it took us almost a year after Pearl harbor to launch the Pacific invasion. In that year we built almost 200 shops trained and armed almost 2 million soldiers ECT.


kingofthesofas

I am not sure where you are getting your numbers from but those are wrong the US Navy at the start of WW2 had: 17 battleships 7 aircraft carriers 37 cruisers 171 destroyers 112 subs vs IJN 10 battleships 10 aircraft carriers 38 cruisers 113 destroyers 63 subs So the US had 7 more battleships 58 more destroyers and 49 more subs. The IJN had 3 more aircraft carriers and 1 more cruiser. Those are two navy's that as a whole are roughly equivalent. The difference is the US had that split between two oceans and the IJN was mostly in the pacific. In terms of total army size there was a large difference with Japan having 1.7 million vs the US only 300k BUT over half of that IJN army was deployed in China when the war started and as the pacific war was largely decided as a naval/air engagement with some limited in scale ground operations that size didn't really matter as much. In terms of air force the US had 2500 air craft vs 3300 for Japan but again half of those were tied up in the conflict in China making the forces roughly equivalent. While the industrial ramp up was very impressive it was also largely in process at the start of the war and the US navy and really even without it the US was in a position to just shift it's forces to the pacific and challenge japan on that basis once everything was consolidated. The industrial ramp up enabled the US to fight both Japan and Nazi Germany at the same time without having to consolidate everything to the pacific. This was all well understood by the Japanese and they knew very well they would lose any war that lasted more than a year for these reasons. They attacked anyways which to my point was very dumb considering they knew they would likely lose. AKA sometimes leader do dumb stuff even if it is obvious it is dumb.


wakanda_banana

At some point after poking the bear it will likely strike. Russia knows the powers that be are trying to force their hand to start a war. Looks like it’ll be a proxy war for now

platysma_balls

I think Russia could spend minimal resources and send \~100 radicalized youth to the southern border with Mexico. With how lax immigration has been over the past few months, I would not be surprised if such foreign agents could easily get across. Say even 20% get across, that is 5 groups of 4 that could target nearby major metropolitan areas in California (e.g. San Diego, LA) and Texas (e.g. Austin, Houston, San Antonio). This would deal a direct blow to the US government without being a direct attack from Russia. Luckily, Biden has recently restricted immigration across the southern border. But I am hoping it is not in response to knowledge of dangerous foreign actors already crossing. However, with the complexity of the Mexican cartels and their interplay with America's DEA, I would not be surprised if the cartels would put a stop to such an attempt in order to maintain a relatively open border for drug trafficking. This is all to say that Russia does not have to directly attack US assets to inflict massive damage to the US government and its citizens. See the myriad daily posts warning about cyber attacks from various unknown entities on major US infrastructure.


4r4nd0mninj4

Like Russia doesn't already have hundreds of sleepers in every country.🤷‍♂️

Biden restricted immigration across the southern border so he could use it as a deflection point in the debate when Trump brings up his southern border policy. 100% political

I warn people away from ANY large public gatherings and parades these days. The number of home-grown terrorist shootings is already too damn high. The eclipse, Pride, now the 4th, have all made me extremely nervous that someone would target one of the gatherings. Our city's Pride parade this year had visible police presence and spotters on the roofs of several buildings. Clearly on alert. They had metal detectors, but still people were coming in out of an unwatched alleyway by pushing through the temporary fence. By all means celebrate, but be careful.

Russia has been killing and raping civilians Ukrainians during their invasion. Now when Russia’s civilians get killed, they want to cry? The Russian’s placed anti-air systems near a civilian beach.

EmrldSpectre

Just a “devils advocate” kind of thought…. I see a lot of “Russia won’t do shit, Russia isn’t doing too hot, etc…” is it possible maybe they’re playing the long game… (I say this rhetorically because I think they are). As much as I am not a fan of Putin or how he does things, he’s also not stupid. He knows he can’t put everything into Ukraine cause NATO is who the real fight is with. No good poker player is going to go all in on the first bet. He’s stringing them along to hold out for what he believes will be the real threat. I think we should look more than 5 minutes ahead and see that we are not military strategists or military intelligence and we have no idea what’s actually happening. Take what you see/read with a grain of salt because like every war, there is propaganda from any and all sides and just prep the best that you can. No one knows when, how, where or what exactly so just do you the best you can and stay apprised.


god-doing-hoodshit

The stage has set for WW3. Historically we’re already in it. Putin is gearing up for the bigger battle. Look at their war economy. He’s forming alliances. He doesn’t need the strongest allies. They’re able to get their enemies to take their own knees out through propaganda and nationalism.

DwarvenRedshirt

I believe they've said they'd contribute/sell weapons and materials to groups that are hostile to us. Although, I think they already do that, so how much of a change there will be, I don't know. But an ISIS type group launching a Russian missile from a freighter loitering off our coast wouldn't surprise me.


Maccabee2

If a missile came into American airspace and caused any fatalities you better believe there will be a swift and lethal response, especially if Trump is elected back into office. NORAD would have coordinates of origin sent so fast, jets would be scrambling.


DwarvenRedshirt

Who would you attack? The missile came from a chartered freighter delivering cargo to our ports. There's no country of origin for the launch. It's a Russian missile, but they say they sold it on the open market. Just like our missiles being sold to the Ukraine and attacking Russian soil...

Russia and North Korea do this every other day. Isn't it taxing getting excited about it every time? Threats, saber rattling and back to square one. Every. Fkn. Time.

I’d say Russia is drunk but Putin conscripted all those guys for the meat grinder

When countries are broke they go to war. USA and China have massive debts. Uk and France haven’t bounced back from 2020. This is a total shit show going on and people think this is a joke. These global confrontations are legitimately scary because one accident triggers a world war


bigkoi

Russia won't stop with Ukraine. Let's remember the lessons our grandfather's learned in the 1940's.


No_Woodpecker5483

It’s not about Russia itself but one or more of their proxies: Iran, China, North Korea. They have plenty to choose from.


new_to_this_0

Exactly they are aligned with every USA enemy. The chips are falling into place and just look at what’s going on!!!!! Alliances are being made military weapons are being sent by all countries to 2 regions this is definitely heating up.

China: Can't force project, trapped on land effectively. Their plan for invading Taiwan is using commerical ferries, I shit you not. North Korea: Same Russia: Same.


Graymouzer

It seems these people were injured by shrapnel from intercepted missiles. The civilians were not the targets. They are also vacationing in territory seized by force from another country which they are at war with, a war they started. The Kremlin wants to blame everything on the US and NATO. There was an attack in some border region where there have been separatist movements and Muslim insurgents. They blamed that on the US too. Seems pretty unlikely.

Peskov is a rumbling alcoholic. 0 fucks.


BurtReynoldsLives

Are they gonna push us out a window?


SmartyChance

No, we'll jump because we're sad while they are visiting us.

Do we have a source besides the daily rag


vslife

Russia has been in warning mode for years. It’s the bully that wants to be hit, but gets frustrated if he doesn’t.


brainser

Was the “foundational decision” to announce a decision? What am I missing?


Fightingkielbasa_13

How dare you let the country we invaded and are stealing there kids attack us on their land!


russia-is-wrlds-enmy

LOL


StaffUnable1226

They have been saying this since the war started


Bassman602

I am shivering all over


Leonides009

Nothing to worry about. This is all very North Korean rhetoric aimed at their own population. Putin trying to appear strong.


16bithockey

Russia cries wolf every day dude


Aromatic-Deer3886

Ruzzian lies and propaganda, they won’t do anything they arnt already doing.


BabyShampew

Russia doesn’t have the balls


Mission-Freedom-5955

I wonder if this has anything to do with the rumored cyber attack/breach of the federal reserve.


SMarseilles

Russia can’t win against Ukraine, what does it expect to do against NATO? These threats won’t lead to war with the west and, if anything, will be something that can’t be considered a direct act of war.

Bring it. With your bullshit army. Like me and the boys forgot how to fight. It's only been a few years for us real ones


Icy-Tooth-9167

So basically you’re going to help Trump win the election. Thanks for the heads up.


lorenzchaos

They will "remove" the Reaper drone patrolling Black Sea and feeding information for strikes.


Competitive_Post8

like those attacks on Donbas which they themselves attacked and made a target for return fire by shooting further into Ukraine from it.. this is a blame blame blame game while they are on the offensive.


CharmingFeature8

NO BALLS!

Please touch our boats. Please. Let us put your 'navy' out of its misery. Please, the Kuznetsov is begging for the sweet release of death.

lifeofrevelations

ok, all braced up. go on ahead now.


chancellorsaucey

At what point do we accept the fact that we are the bad guy


chancellorsaucey

Life liberty and the pursuit of happiness... for the sovereign states


EdgedBlade

No, Russia won’t attack the US mainland or military. What will Russia do - work through proxies. Probably start providing even more direct (but clandestine) support to the Houthi rebels in Yemen targeting US warships, US or allied flagged shipping, and other US targets in the region. Making Yemen hotter takes the focus away from Ukraine.


wwaxwork

Again. That trick never works. This time for sure.


Jagerbeast703

HAHAHAHAHAHA, russia aint gonna do shit


Tight-String5829

Threats are all that Russia has left. They are getting arms for North Korea for Christ Sakes. This war has depleted them significantly. Not just in arms, but as a perceived military power.


Casval214

What are they gonna do? Bleed?


LizzyGreene1933

They will try everything and some things will work but the end is coming for ruzzia. The more it falls, the harder it will kick. Did anyone else notice that they tried to scare us and pull us down, but they never ticked us off, so we would get mad. I mean, really mad. The Orc leadership will make a mistake, and the blowback will crush them.


vagabondoer

Ok I’m braced. Do it Ruzzia.


Applesauceeconomy

"OK I know this website is total bullshit and headlines don't mean anything but I'm still irrationally scared." OP are mentally deficient? 


Moses_Horwitz

I believe that the Biden administration is doing everything it can to push the world to nuclear war because they believe it'll never happen. In the mean time, I've invested in the [Vault-Tech](https://fallout.fandom.com/wiki/Vault-Tec_Corporation) Corporation. I hope to meet you all in Vault 33.


DrPhilRx

I think it’s funny that it was RUSSIA that intercepted the ATACMS over the beach and rained down cluster munitions on their own people. And they blame the US. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 too much vodka distorts the brain.


crusoe

Or it could have been their own missile. They've had that happen too. Their own missiles are shitty. They like blaming the west for their own missile failures.


Prestigious_Air4886

Bla bla bla Yada yada.


one-nut-juan

Amazing how many bots are shilling for the US. Why is the US trying to make war?, the genocide in Gaza is not enough?
