Forums - Politics Discussion - Russia and Ukraine flashpoint



Around the Network

Having been playing Metro Exodus lately and its ironic how some of the views expressed by Russia's current political leadership are expressed in that game, especially considering the game is made by a Ukrainian developer, is based on a book written by a Russian dissident and was released 3 years before this war began.



LOL. RIGHT?!

People who bring up the dumb argument of "NATO IS ON RUSSIA'S BORDERS! AMERICA WANTS TO BRING NUKES TO RUSSIA'S BORDER!" seems to think that nuclear capable missiles only have a range of 100km or some shit and as this Finnish Major General rightfully points out, the closer they are to the border, the easier targets they are.

“As Ukraine gains more capabilities for the long-range fight . . . its ability to continue deep operations will [increasingly] become a feature” of the war, Radakin said, adding: “they definitely have an effect”.

🤔🤔🤔

Many are interpreting this as UK saying they're okay with Ukraine striking inside of Russia, some are interpreting it as UK saying Ukraine can use Storm Shadow inside of Russia. I'm not sure I read it that way unless I'm missing some added context, Sky News Editor is reporting it that way though.

To me it could as easily be read as him saying Ukraine will develop their own capabilities and deep operations doesn't necessarily mean Russia but occupied Ukraine territory.



Guess we'll wait and see if a Storm Shadow ends up in Russia, Lol.

UK has often made the first move and I want them to here but I'm not expecting it.
