Slava Ukraini!
I hate that the U.S. had to give Israel a bunch of money too, but at least Ukraine is going to have a chance!

-
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!
-
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.

Cool. I hope they can beat back Russia and retake Crimea, but it's not going to be easy.

All the shit we built to beat up Ivan is finally getting used, ya love to see it. Can’t wait till the F-16s show up and they can start lobbing NATO munitions from the air

ya love to see it
I mean, its a nightmare of death and destruction not scene since Vietnam. But other than that, yeah, very cool.
Oh it’s decidedly not cool, but they didn’t choose to be invaded. It’s good that we can give them a set of tools built expressly for this purpose and give them a chance against a much larger foe.
For the first time since the 1940s we are unironically delivering freedom and I think that actually is cool. Shit situation and the Israel bill is a horrible albatross but I’m happy for the UA grunts in the mud. Slava Ukraini

Once I watched this high school kid hang outside of a middle school with a bat waiting for a kid.
That kid came out, got the bat away from him and chased him off.
Ya love to see it.
They mean they love to see a brutal, illegal invasion being stopped.

The missiles were used for the first time by the Ukrainians on April 17, during an attack on the Russian Dzahnkoi Air Base in the Crimea. The next day they used them on a Russian mustering point in the Crimea.
On a somewhat unrelated note I have a Ukrainian classmate who had to return to Ukraine to renew his passport (they suspended consular services outside Ukraine). He has about 2 weeks before turning 18 and being legally banned from leaving the country. Hope the best for him
That's horrible. I wish the new supply could bring a sudden end to this somehow.
Get 'em!!
ATACMS is a beast. They look like rockets: https://mil.in.ua/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/Screenshot_3-10.jpg
I mean, they are rockets
Yes, but they look like one too.
Exactly. The ones that fit in the 6-pack look like missiles. These look like a real rocket.
To be fair, these are missiles too.
To be fair, my dog looks like a dog and my cat too....I mean my cat looks like a cat.
But do they look like projectiles?
Yes. Everyone knows a rocket must have a pointy end
Sad that Olaf Sholz continues to deny ~~Storm Shadow~~ Taurus missiles to Ukraine. They need all the long range strike capability they can get.
Aren't Storm Shadows the British missiles? And we already gave them to Ukraine ages ago. I think the German ones are called Taurus?
Oh you're right. Thanks, fixed. Got my long range missiles confused.
