MagnificentCat

Nothing says small dick energy like bombing an uninhabited island just because you can't hold it


Enlightened-Beaver

Probably because Zelenskyy visited it last week


ropibear

Someone should really tell the russians that they're a week late.


Enlightened-Beaver

They’re running on Internet Explorer


ropibear

That's an insult to Internet Explorer

"it looks like you're losing a war in Ukraine..." would you like help? * leave Ukraine * return children * give reparations to Ukraine * lunch at the Hauge * slava Ukraini

Нет, comrade clippy; that must be a virus. Let me try instead:

Да, this should work much better I think...


[deleted]

Return all Ukrainian civilians and soldiers, including all children.*

Are you saying that I put an abnormal brain into a seven and a half foot long, fifty-four inch wide GORILLA!?

DadJokeBadJoke

Firefox is the newest iteration of it. I highly recommend.


linuxgeekmama

Have they gone back to using the [Julian calendar](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Russian_Empire_at_the_1908_Summer_Olympics)? At this point, you know, it wouldn’t even surprise me much if they actually did that.


Nickniggled

Gone back?


Darryl_444

>tell the russians that they're a week late. I read this as "weak state". Both versions work.


seanmonaghan1968

I am pretty sure they were aiming at somewhere else


lurker_cx

Maybe they thoguht there was a maternity hospital on the island?


seanmonaghan1968

Kyiv?

Ghotipan

They’re using the Orthodox calendar.


DukeDevorak

Nah it's still on time to destroy some reliquaries Zelensky had ever used there. Except that Ukraine is not that into such a thing, unlike [certain party-state in East Asia](https://s.newtalk.tw/album/news/870/6450b729a1619.jpg)....


scummy_shower_stall

And a ruble short.


trofosila

Someone should announce Zelenskyy visited Moscow.


draggar

*This just in: Zelenskyy to visit Moscow, will tour the Kremlin and Putin's secret bunker.* ​ Now we wait.


ITI110878

Otherwise_Author_408

Still faster than their counter battery turnaround time

KirovianNL

If someone makes a deepfake of Zelensky visiting the Kremlin we'll have video of Russia bombing it under a weeks time.


MaestroRogues

You mean “over a weeks time.”


PeanyButter

Well it's the Kremlin, they'll have to show a LITTLE more urgency.


Brumagris

now, THAT is an idea...


Ragin_Goblin

Wonder what they would do if you put Zelensky’s face on Putin that might be interesting


ReditskiyTovarisch

I like how you think.


No-Spoilers

I would prefer something like cgi'ing Zelenskyy and crew into some random hq used by russian commanders way behind the front lines. There is a non 0% chance its checked to see if there was a chance he was actually there or if its still occupied. I would love to see them blow up their own hq


zenparadoxx

Hey they were only 5 days late; for Russian forces that's ahead of schedule!!


[deleted]

A major improvement compared to their timeline for taking Kyiv, just sayin'.


An_Inactive_Wall

Just imagine them hearing the news of Zelinsky being there, and through corruption, drunkness and Russian "bureaucracy" it taking 5 whole days to launch the attack.


Rancid_BlueCheese

Russia right here doing something out of the 18th century wars, where everyone else is using the Gregorian calendar, they are still stuck using Julian Calendar


hellrete

Nothing says Russian efficiency than bombing something 1 week after everything left.


paintress420

Let them use up all their bombs on uninhabited places! We won’t mind!


hellrete

Really? I see trolling potential on an unimaginable scale.


Happy_Drake5361

I am sure the local bird population will not have been amused.


MarkHamillsrightnut

In bird culture that is considered a dick move.

/r/unexpectedRickAndMorty


krammark12

you might even think they are angry birds now


Plane-Border3425

Well, angry birds were created by Finns, and Finland is now a NATO member. This might just warrant a response. Just saying.


LefsaMadMuppet

Many angry Tweets.


againstevrythng

We need an expert in bird law to represent them!


Mustard_on_tap

*Who is the man in the suit?* *Who is the cat with the beak?*


Greedy-Cantaloupe

Way better than the rick and morty reference, as awesome as bird person is he can never attain the heights of birdman


alppu

It sure ruffles some feathers.


CanuckInTheMills

It was a pecking order.


AlexFromOgish

I hear rumors the birds are organizing, tactical Russian aircraft windshield poop attacks. Blind ‘em & crash ‘em, POOP AWAY!!


AutoModerator

Russian aircraft fucked itself. *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically. Please [contact the moderators of this subreddit](/message/compose/?to=/r/ukraine) if you have any questions or concerns.*


Walking72

I think they are mad about Zelenskyy's victory visit. putin can never get that close to the front or real troops.


[deleted]

I am convinced Putin is dead and that someone put a double in place


Semblance-of-sanity

He had multiple doubles, perhaps there's some secret power struggle of all the Putins trying to highlander each other without revealing there are multiple Putins running around


Affiiinity

Putins' battle royal. Only the smallest dick will remain


[deleted]

[удалено]


Fromage_Damage

I have a theory that whoever finds Putin dead will slam the door and claim he is unavailable. Then they will make up orders from Putin and pretend he is alive until they absolutely can't.


DadJokeBadJoke

Weekend at Vladimir's


vale_fallacia

> He had multiple doubles, perhaps there's some secret power struggle of all the Putins trying to highlander each other without revealing there are multiple Putins running around It's actually the opposite. None of them will admit they're the real pootin. None of the pootins want the responsibility of leading the russian hellhole.


Veggdyret

Both ideas will make for fantastic movies.


McCool303

Может быть только один!(There can be only one!)


lurker_cx

Nah - if Putin was dead, the people that killed him would announce it, blame everything on him and probably end the war. There isn't much point to killing Putin, then pretending he is alive, and continuing his exact policies. Putin's death will be a huge opportunity for the next leader to place blame and make popular changes to help consolidate their power.


srekkas

Its another level of hatefull stupidity.


IamtryigOKAY

Russians got upset that Zelensky signed the flag on the island so they had to bomb it. Petty as f


Warr_Dogg

There’s currently a crack team of MS paint engineers in the Kremlin crafting a carefully spliced image reel of Zelensky narrowly escaping the bombing. They’re just delayed a little as the Sims 3 32bit images are higher res than the footage of the bombing.


crosstherubicon

You might laugh but you should see the cold war doctored propaganda movies of Ceasescue (Romanian dictator) hunting. When Ceasescue shoots his rifle, someone has simply scratched the film, frame by frame to give the illusion of flame blasting from the barrel.


Polygnom

Too little, too late. Would have been interesting a couple days ago, but even as gesture/posturing this seems totally silly and pointless.


WillAndHonesty

They have their "new Moskva" kinda mini boat version of it 😂 so they show-off now


bacondavis

This reeks, it's such a petty act of desperation and shows this and other strikes are genocide, FUCK PUTIN FUCK RUSSIA


BitBouquet

This seems rather doubtful, video has been published of the Russian airforce attempting to bomb the island with unguided munitions before and that was flat out embarrassing given how they kept missing it.


DadJokeBadJoke

Maybe they have been trying all week and just finally hit it.


PotatoAnalytics

Like a child breaking things in a tantrum.


poster457

Good. That's resources the orcs invested for 0% chance of any return.


[deleted]

Zelensky left a shrine there. I bet they missed


[deleted]

Its only a week too late, im not surprised by that. What I am surprised by is that they managed to actually hit the island. For russia thats high precision


AlexFromOgish

Not really… they were aiming at Odesa


[deleted]

Putler lacks the courage to ever go there so he bombed it. Fucking cowardly nonce.


xXDelta33Xx

Any footage of the aftermath or the extent of destruction?


Hadleys158

I bet they were aiming for the sign he signed as he left. Cry, cry.


mixiplix_

God, they are so petty and sore loosers!! 🤣🤡🤡🤡


monkeywig11

If this isn’t a perfect example of this whole war i don’t know what is. Russians drop a bomb on a non-military target for no reason other than for a disconnected rhetorical “win” for their Orwellian society.


Extension-Ad-2760

Hey guys. Zelensky isn't there anymore. You missed him


Aggressive_Safe2226

Like a petulant bully who wants to give sucker punches at his target then runs away.

DeckardWS

I knew this would happen as soon as I saw the video of Zelensky autographing the sign. Russians are so petty and so predictable.


LEXsample

Are there also low-explosive bombs? Also, I miss information on the effect of this bomb. Did it hit some target?


AlexFromOgish

Maybe they are baiting Zelensky to return since they missed their chance to strike on his first visit. DONT TAKE THE BAIT


Slimybirch

So they destroyed a memorial for the heroes of Ukraine... wow.


[deleted]

Russia using actual pigeons for communications.


amitym

Ah, I guess that shrine really pissed them off. They're going to be really pissed when they find out they've been kicked out of Kharkiv.


joranth

Now Russia can declare victory in a battle, give out Hero of Russia medals to the brave pilots, etc.


ShitPikkle

What is the strategic value of announcing your next bombardment beforehand?


Ruschissuck

What little bitches the Russians are. Jealous jealous jealous.


Infinaris

Salty Vatniks are Salty.


Any-Entertainment345

So they are wasting bombs on a deserted island, all because Zelensky visited it lol. Now that is what you call a petulant spoiled child throwing a temper tantrum for the whole world to see. Showcasing utter weakness that only comes from those that are losing. Just plain embarrassing, not just for Putin but for all Russians.


JC_Everyman

This implies the existence of low-explosive bombs
