MicroWaveMoscow targeted again as Kyiv steps up drone attacks inside Russia
RaildrakePeople can turn away from supporting a war pretty quickly when it suddently reaches your doorstep.
Move to lemm.eeThat is not what has ever happened at any point in time historically. When war is on the doorstep support for your own side hardens massively.
The times where populations have turned against wars have always been when the troops are fighting far away from home in lands that the home population feels they shouldn’t be dying in.
This will only make people cling to support for the military because they rely on it for personal safety.
Then they can watch their entire country burn. FAFO. Slava Ukraini.
Mate you’re advocating for a genocide against civilians. That’s not acceptable.
They’re the ones doing the genociding and supporting the genociding. They’re the ones supporting the butchers of Bucha and the siege of Mariupol. They’re the ones taking selfies in the ruins of Ukrainian homes for aesthetics.
What would you have done when the Nazis invaded Poland? Would you have wrung hands at the bombing of Dresden and Tokyo?
I made my choice. I joined the strategic nuclear fleet as an SSBN sailor. Sometimes the only language a nation will understand is force.
Yes I absolutely would have wrung hands at the bombing of Dresden and Tokyo. I also absolutely oppose the nukes that were dropped, completely unnecessary and monstrous loss of life. I don’t quite know what you’re getting at with Poland, that could have been prevented if the French and English had accepted the Soviet offer to stop it pre-emptively.
We don’t need to advocate for the murder of civilians. It’s just obscene, and all it will lead to is more murder of civilians in response.
So you’re saying you’re in support of appeasement of Nazis. How did that work out for Europe last time?
Sometimes the only way to get a fascist nation to stop is to bomb the ever living shit out of them until they stand the fuck down.
I didn’t say either of those things. It’s wild how much this community rags on twitter for outrage and assuming the worst possible position of anyone that is responding while that seems to be what this community does constantly.

Murdering civilians is not in fact how the nazis were stopped. Vastly out-producing them and outnumbering them in terms of armour was. I don’t know why you think killing civilians is in any way strategically beneficial. Its main effective use is as a terror action against an occupied population.
Strategically the term is “countervalue”. In purely military terms, it removes the ability of the enemy to continue regenerating its troops or keep its war economy and industry functioning. That destruction of industrial ability was the primary purpose of the bombing of Dresden and Tokyo, as well as the primary purpose that Hiroshima and Nagasaki were on the list of targets.
The occupation of Iraq and Afghanistan were pointless. The former as it destabilized the region and had no real strategic value besides oil which was already procured from the Saudis, and the latter because anyone we were actually trying to target could have been taken out with long distance strikes instead of trying to occupy and create a clearly unwanted government for the inhabitants.

No it fucking wasn’t lmao.

“Were”, maybe wanna check on that whole past tense thing because you’re still there. Against the will of the people.
Pretending not to be in Syria while still being in Syria too… Stealing the oil.
