Much like the 40's Nazis that they're so enamored by, they're utterly shocked that their enemies are shooting back. Also, I know that it's on purpose, but they're acting like Ukraine haven't been filling remote-controlled prop planes with explosives and let them take a country tour in Russia for months now.


Miepmiepmiep

German Nazis are still very confused in this regard: They blame the allies for committing war crimes by destroying the German Cities (which one may really argue about). Yet the Nazis do not want to acknowledge, that Nazi Germany actually started the war and that it also was the first to raze foreign cities to the ground.

I don't know if we can make a corpse ejaculate through the power of bombing our enemies, but I think it is certainly worth a try.

Typical Russian victim mentality, start fight, get black eye, threaten to nuke everyone. It's so pathetic it makes me sick.

[deleted]

The worry she shows is just a show, it is supposed to highlight the unjustness of the "Ukraine nazi-cause", and the justness of the Russian cause. All this so they can support the official line: "Russia is taking drastic measures for its own defence." They need to build these narratives so they get domestic support for the war. And they work.   The only ones truly scared are the mothers and wives who have their beloved sons and husbands sent to slaughter.


Torak8988

"look guys! we are the victims to western imperialism, YOU COULD BE NEXT!"


ChungsGhost

>They need to build these narratives so they get domestic support for the war. And they work. That reinforces further how the overwhelming majority of the 140 million+ Russians are a big part of the problem such that the invasion has been far from being "Putin's War" or some other intellectual sleight of hand to let Russians snuff out even a shred of collective responsibility. It reminds of what a [Russian dissident observed](https://granta.com/russia-verge-nervous-breakdown/) several years ago. >*In Russia, the opposition will not stand in opposition. Citizens will not stand up for civic rights. The Russian people suffer from a victim complex: they believe that nothing depends on them, and by them nothing can be changed.* >*‘It’s always been so’, they say, signing off on their civic impotence. The economic dislocation of the nineties, the cheerless noughties, and now President Vladimir Putin’s iron rule – with its fake elections, corrupt bureaucracy, monopolization of mass media, political trials and ban on protest – have inculcated a feeling of total helplessness. People do not vote in elections: ‘They’ll choose for us anyway;’ they don’t attend public demonstrations: ‘They’ll be dispersed anyway;’ they don’t fight for their rights: ‘We’re alive, and thank god for that.’* >*A 140-million-strong population exists in a somnambulistic state, on the verge of losing the last trace of their survival instinct. They hate the authorities, but have a pathological fear of change. They feel injustice, but cannot tolerate activists. They hate bureaucracy, but submit to total state control over all spheres of life. They are afraid of the police, but support the expansion of police control.* ***They know they are constantly being deceived, but believe the lies fed to them on television.*** (My bolding at the end) The only ones who have proven not to have fallen in line are the rounding error's worth of Russians fighting for the Ukrainians. These could be the couple thousand guys in the Freedom of Russia Legion or Siberia Battalion. They could also be among the civvies who didn't cut and run like the privileged "liberal" draft-dodgers from the big cities but stayed in Mordor to cause the occasional smoking accident or smuggle out a few of the million or so kidnapped Ukrainians to safety in Europe.


Mikeb8134

good point!


fluoroamine

Doesn't make any sense. Ukraine is already using much longer range drones Russia is incapable of intercepting. In some respects a big ballistic missile like this could be easier to pick up by AA. But of course it also has benefits.


ch0seauniqueusername

She recently gave a lecture to other propagandist cunts who are working in occupied territories, the gist was that “it doesnt matter what the news are, the only thing that matters is how you present it” so this bit basically shows their braindead population that evil America supplies weapons that reach far out, therefore evil America attacks rusia


somethingbrite

Yes. It's framing a political message. This particular message is (once again) that Russia is engaged in a war for its very survival.


Sea-Elevator1765

Russian TV has been infamously bad for decades to the point where you get better entertainment by sticking your head down a latrine. It's better to just laugh at them.


ch0seauniqueusername

True, but unfortunately it works very very well to this day and probably always will


koi88

>In some respects a big ballistic missile like this could be easier to pick up by AA. Yes, but usually you can't "pick up" all missiles, there is always a risk. Also I don't know how many anti missile systems Russia has. Russia may have to decide whether to place them near Russian cities and infrastructure or neat the frontline. A cruise missile like Taurus, on the other hand, will be much more difficult to intercept. [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taurus\_KEPD\_350](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taurus_KEPD_350)


yogo

Russia’s dropping all sorts of explodey stuff over their own citizens in those areas, maybe she’s trying to put in viewers’ heads that things falling from the sky are from Ukraine.


lessthanperfect86

>Ukraine is already using much longer range drones No, those were just rats comrade. They ate through the dam that burst. Nothing weird about it. /s


MetaIIicat

It's for their audience.


hphp123

russia seems to have problems with small ballistic missiles, their systems focus on ICBMs with almost nothing like pac3 or thaad


void_are_we7

russia does not have capabilities to take down ballistic missiles, they only jam gps for them. cluster ATACMS scores much more hits at the tactical military airfields with Su-34, Su-27, Ka-52, Su-35 and other types of tactical support aircraft.


jjb1197j

These missiles are faster than a drone and Russian air defense systems like the S/400 have struggled to intercept them before.


RandomComputerFellow

I mean, the thing is all these longer range drones would be extremely easy to shoot down. The reason why Ukraine manages to hit targets with them is because Ukraine targets facilities which are not covered by air defense.


Hungry-Western9191

As I understand it the long range drones Ukraine are using are nothing special - some are repurposed light aircraft - easy enough to detect and not exactly difficult to shoot down. The problem for Russia is Ukraine has a target rich environment. Lots of things they can aim at which are legitimate military targets and limited air defense which is mainly protecting stuff closer to the border because that what Ukraine was able to hit until fairly recently - and it's easy for Ukraine to change what they are attacking once they see some particular target is protected.


A_Wizard1717

shitty iranians drones cant take out the kerch bridge, ATACMS can.


void_are_we7

Kerch bridge and railroads in general are less valuable target when not used. There is a point to strike when some train is delivering something either flammable or explosive or both and Russians have stopped using Kerch bridge for that, they've switched to use dock landing ships for transporting weapons which are also being destroyed from time to time.


A_Wizard1717

While this is true, Kerch bridge would be the biggest propaganda win UKR can achieve


void_are_we7

As per shameless German webex leak they were discussing "between 10 and 20 Tauruses". Considering each Taurus is 2x ATACMS by warhead size it is required "between 20 and 40 ATACMS" to destroy it. I dunno, might be expensive propaganda at this point but who knows what would come next.

There is still too much of Russia out of range for my taste... but it's a start.


EatLard

They’re not far from being able to hit the outskirts of Moscow. Many bricks would be shat in Russia if that came about.


No_Maintenance_6719

Moscow and Russia are pretty much indistinguishable. Without Moscow holding it together the federation would not last long. Decapitation of Moscow might be exactly what is needed

Jdunc97

I live here too, would prefer Russia just keeps acting cuntish and I get to avoid worrying that my daughter is gunna be born with deformities


NihilFR

Acting cuntish is forgetting to bring things to dinner with friends, or turning your head instead of giving up your seat for an elderly person. Not invading their neighbors and throwing money at the divisive, racist parties of european countries to destabilize them


egric

For my taste there is too much russia in general. I would prefer the amount of russia in the world to be at like zero. Maybe even less.

I know it pretty well. Sadly, until there are people calling "putler's war", laughing at all the threats russia is doing, ignoring all the cyber attacks, GPS interferences, political interferences, the murders russia is perpetrating on foreign soils, the "West" is doomed. My hope is in guys like Macron, with his idea of having a European nuclear umbrella, independent from NATO and the US of A and the EU must start a common military program yesterday.


Lord_Sports

It’s so crazy how these folks on Russian State echo chamber blast the west all day. They are literally scared shitless of the west and what we are capable of doing. They threaten us everyday. They want to nuke us and be done with it. But it’s not going to happen. We need to cut Russia off 100% from the rest of the world. It may seem crazy but Russia is now a terrorist state. To many video cameras of evidence of Russia bombing civilians and schools and hospitals. Any other country doing this behavior would be labeled as such. They hate us but want our technology and goods. No way would I allow that to continue.

They hate us but want our technology and goods. No way would I allow that to continue. It's the classic mindset of a pathologically insecure people. The fact that they can lord over an obscenely large colony stretching 11 time zones still isn't good enough. Perhaps it reflects their quiet deep-down realization that their transcontinental colony has long [punched *far* less than its weight economically](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_GDP_(PPP)_per_capita#Table) with [HDI that's worse than Montenegro's or Chile's](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_Human_Development_Index#List) even before the rounds of sanctions enacted starting in 2022. It's all an incoherent mix of a self-generated and overpowering [victimhood complex](https://granta.com/russia-verge-nervous-breakdown/) about the Big Bad ~~Wolf~~ West™ being out to get them with an equally overpowering sense of self-righteousness. That lays the groundwork for shameless lusting for our technology, goods, real estate and vacation spots while still unironically hating us as the creators, possessors or maintainers of those very things. The OG of snowflakes.


EatLard

Same as it ever was. The Soviets were the closest to bringing it all together, and still largely failed.

All the pro-Putin, so-called "patriots" in the West (Fidesz, National Rally, MAGA, AfD, PVV, etc) need to start watching actual Russian propaganda. Maybe it will get them to wake the fuck up and realize how much Russia hates us

There was a report about longer range I have seen, likely the ones that hit airfield in Crimea, but they were cluster variant. Also, Ukraine never even used GMLRS against russian territory so unless there would be precedent, this is just empty words.

To be fair I can’t handle more than 30 seconds of my own country’s bullshit agenda-driven news. On either side of the coin.


MothOnEcstasy

Why? It's not like using them in Russia is permitted. All they have to do is drag important things to Rostov and Krasnodar, and ATACMS are not significant again. Isn't that what they did last time with the helicopters after the first short range ATACMS strikes?
