Hungary, heavily reliant on Russian energy, called the pipeline attack a threat to its sovereignty.
You had fucking 3 years to look for alternatives.
These strikes help Hungary become more sovereign.
The biggest obstacle to Hungarian sovereignty is Victor Orban.

Waiting for Putin to claim Ukraine is crossing the line doing this. While he is perfectly OK with bombing Ukrainian Nuclear power plants and dams. Things that are actually clearly war crimes.
It's so cool that Ukraine has found a way to strike back, and they do it within international law!!
Fuck you Russia and fuck you Putin.
Your days are numbered!
So many of Moscow's 'Red Lines' have been crossed it's starting to look like a red carpet.

Man, a fuel shortage in Moscow is something Putin would struggle to downplay.
"See, I told you they are attacking us!" /s
"Extreme climate control measures. The decadent West is not taking responsibility for the climate change, so we must act radically to save the Earth."
I think Russians are so used to their government lying that no-one would even really care.
And Zelensky just announced they have flown a 1000km range missile this week. Kremlin is big mad.
Fuck Russia, fuck trump.
Keep going Ukraine
We are close to Russia having oil rationing
that's the only language russia understands
Schrödingers Russia is on the verge of collaps and about to conquer Europe for three years now
When you gear an entire economy to war, you simultaneously run the risk of economic collapse and conquering. It's what happened to the Soviet Union in '89, the economy was in shambles but militarily they were still a powerhouse.
womp womp.
i wonder how they did it without Elon knowing about it
Sounds great; anything that hinders Russia is cause for celebration.
Oh no... anyways.
This would be why Pootang is having a talk with his lapdog, Drumph, tomorrow! He usually doesn't act with such unseemly haste LOL. Hopefully, Ukraine will ignore whatever terms those two shitstains manage to come up with, WITHOUT any Ukrainian input.
I think given the current state of the Russian military, implementing Red Storm Rising is off the table.
I mean, that's literally what this invasion was supposed to be, and failed before they even left the old ussr.
It was supposed to be Russian dominance "from Vladivostok to Lisbon" as Putin's grand political philosopher put it and various Russian Politicians very publicly stated, and here we are 2 years after the "3 day Special Military Operation started" and Russia is still stuck in Donbas with almost 1 million casualties, their massive stocks of Soviet Unions weapons severely depleted and their enemy has developed their own advanced weapons and is increasingly destroying the Oil and Gas infrastructure they rely on to pay for the War and dominating the airspace near the front lines using drones.
Putin's Russia is like the obese guy who loudly claims "I'm in perfect shape", goes out "to run a marathon" and after about about 500m is already totally out of breath and barely moving.
This whole thing proved Russia's hard power was the emperor who had no clothes.
Otoh, the last decade has also proven their soft power is basically a world beater.
And their soft power is as great as it is because they know how to appeal to the absolute worst vile filth in every society, from their centuries of experience managing Russian culture.

Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
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.
