Uno reverse and invade Russia to get rid of the Nazis

Throw in Russia's busted attempt at a fabricated claim on Ukraine, this would probably go down well for Ukraine in Crusader Kings.

Sounds like a precursor to taking them back.

He played the Uno reverse card.

[-] Holyginz@lemmy.world 10 points 7 months ago

Not surprised. Russia does very much like claiming something was once theirs in the past and then doing its best to absorb it like and amoeba.

Sure buddy. Final victory is just one Steiner away.

[-] Welt@lazysoci.al 2 points 7 months ago

Reverse irredentism! Now what about historically German lands? From the Maas to the Memel...

Ukraine needs to give up it's pathetic and such a waste of life.

How many of your fellow citizens would you sacrifice to Putin if he decided to invade your county? That is what you are saying. Give over regions of Ukraine to an aggressive fascist state. Fuck that. I’d fight against that even if it was hopeless. Ukraine needs to be armed to win. The US could do this, if we wanted to.

Just ignore them. Russian troll. They are just salty that they're now stuck buying Borscht Cola or whatever the hell russians drink when they run out of vodka. Also, he'll probably be dead in a year when they lower the draft age to 10 or however old he is.

Borscht as is known all throughout most of the ex-USSR and the world is Ukrainian. The red beet version, that is. The more general term roots in Poland where (even much earlier) it meant a soup with hogweed (hence the name), then sour soups in general.

Kvass should be safe though, it's a generally east-Slavic thing, basically low to negligible ABV sour beer from rye. And yes that's exactly what Russians are drinking anyways, the cola craze after the fall of the USSR was short-lived.

And just to add injury to injury: Pelmeni aren't Russian, either. The name is Permic pointing straight to (near) Siberia, it's thought that Mongols brought the general idea of dumplings from China there on their adventures which also explains the pepper. OTOH that means that the stuff you see in supermarkets, frozen bags of them to throw in boiling water, is 110% traditional (modulo the plastic).

Great comment. Refreshing to see some intelligence here from time to time, like the nice sour bready tang of kvass!

Your assuming that he isn't Russian. Russia seems totally willing to sacrifice as many lives to Putin as Putin wants.

What's really pathetic about these call for Ukraine to give up is that Russia still wouldn't win. For a so-called superpower, the clash of armies should have been an easy win. The actual hard part is the occupation. Zelinski could sign the whole country over to Putin today, and it would just guarantee that the bloodshed continues for years or decades. Even in areas that leaned towards Russia, Ukrainians are of no mind to simply surrender.
