Rules:

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.

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.

They thought they could bomb everyone else without getting any scratch

Well for most of the war Ukraine was supplied with arms on the condition they only be used to defend.

UN/US/UK/UKnowwhoelse didn’t want to poke the nuclear armed bear. And I get it. I really do.

But that can only hold for so long.

I’m glad Ukraine is bringing the war to the Russian citizens feet, and not just the poor who are paying with their young males in the ground in the war, but to the city dwelling people who actually can start to grumble and make a difference if they don’t feel comfortable.

That's why they're using drones and sabotage instead of provided weapons.
