Remember when US intelligence announced ahead of the invasion that Russia was going to invade based on false pretenses?
Providing Ukraine with intelligence about the invasion literally predates the invasion.

So, let me get this straight.
Russia is upset that Ukraine's allies are acting like, well allies.
yep we did, now go and fuck yourself Russia.
They lost their navy to a country that doesn't have one.
They really should just pack up and go home.
They lost the flagship. The rest of the Black Sea fleet still needs to be destroyed.
I've read that those ATACMS they are about to receive can do just the trick too.
Current count is 5 patrol boats, 5 landing ships, 1 cruiser (Moskva), 1 sub, 1 corvette, 1 rescue tug and 1 minesweeper if Wikipedia is to be believed
it as up to date as any western source can be.
Wikipedia is how Russian command gets its intel, so...
A few more than that. Losses on both sides since 2014 which is a significant amount.
Yeah if they can get a target lock on the Ruzzian ships the ATACMS would definitely take them out.
So you're saying military aggression sucks, but only when it happens to you? Wow. You were so close to empathy.
I mean it was crimea so it technically was not even happening to them. I mean its not their land or water rights.
Awww, does the big bully not like that their victim has friends smarter than them?
If you don't want shit, don't start shit.
Yeah, Ukraine has better friends than you. Now fuck off home.
Yeah we did it.
So fucking what?
You gonna cry?
You gonna fuck around & find out what a 3-day war actually looks like?
OH! NO!
Anyway.
Fuckin a, I hope we help them sink russian shit.
Well yeah probably. Not exactly a secret that the United States and Europe help coordinate with Ukraine and help provide intel. Sounds like Russian soldiers may have been of assistance too in this specific case.
Yeah, so?
What the fuck are they going to do about it?
I dare them to declare war on a NATO country.
Came here to say this. Shit or get off the pot, Pootin'.
The chances of a Russian ICBM making it to any destination with effect is quite low. Aside from decades of black market stripping of parts and fuel, there are many who won't turn the key because they don't want to erase their own families (likely being unaware that other launches have been ordered).
Crimea river :D
Good job! Here's a cookie 🍪
I thought it wasn't a big deal since nothing happened at the headquater and nobody was injured or anything and if anything the great russian air defence surely caught all attempts to harm the headquaters
Well, duh.
Aww, it's so nice to be appreciated.
Does Moscow want to involve Article 5? Because it sure as hell sounds like Moscow wants to invoke Article 5.
Likeoscow
I should clearly proofread better
No. Don’t change. Never change. Likeoscow
Haven’t they been saying the whole time the west is involved, what’s the difference?
"Waaaah our enemies aren't rolling over when we demand them to waaaaah"
"Waaaaaaah our enemies have allies they use to win the war waaaaaah"
Stop crying, you started the war.
I hope we're guilty as accused.
Nato has been giving Ukraine intelligence since the "3 day special military operation" started
but...but..butbutthey shot down all the missiles, and they just fell onto the command center by accident!
I would certainly hope so! :o
Boo hoo.
A community for discussing events around the World
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
