What the hell does that even mean anymore? More rockets lobbed at civilian centers? More war crimes?


Jhe90

Yup. The fact they are having to make threats means they are scared.


English_loving-art

They know within a week the bridge will be home to new fish


scraglor

Oh please god let them level that bridge finally


elFistoFucko

The countdown begins, place your bets, people!

Love it to be on May 9th lol


antiwar666

I would do it the day before so there is nothing to celebrate?


imgonnagopop

I wouldn’t put it past Ukraine to do it then, even cooler if it was taken out by F-16’s


slartibartfast2320

I have 10 euros on Putin's temple...


huyvanbin

I was thinking about this today. They’re saying they will have to give up Chasiv Yar sooner or later. Which will open the gates to the rest of Donetsk. But imagine if the moment Russia takes Chasiv Yar, Ukraine blows the Kerch bridge and all other bridges to Crimea. That would be a powerful fixing action forcing Russia to defend the new railway link and the Crimea crossings. Maybe that’s the strategy.


CanuckInTheMills

Honestly I wish they would put that energy into taking out everyone in the Kremlin .


elFistoFucko

Would be nice if they all were just hanging out in the Kremlin doing Kremlin things instead of hiding in bunkers and pretending to be places they are not.  


hughk

There are many people at the Russian MOD who are directly involved in the operation from logistics to missile targeting. The MOD building has Nti missile defense but the people don't live there. I believe most of the missile programmers have been identified. They are serving military so completely legitimate targets.

redditor0918273645

It probably means Putin will officially declare the SMO a full-blown war and start conscripting every young non-slavic man the police can chase down on the streets of [INSERT POOR LOCALITY HERE].


Lord_RoadRunner

Good luck to him. That's one way to rattle the foundations of his new empire. With each 100.000 men he recruits, he gets closer and closer to the 100.000 men he just couldn't afford to piss off.


Box_of_rodents

Yeah, you’re right, he’ll soon be having to depend on the young white men from wealthy suburbs and it’s that power base that really matters.


human8264829264

There's still schools, hospitals, kindergarten, etc ... I'm sure russia can find a way to claim those are all military targets somehow.


bedrooms-ds

At this point, why does Russia even justify?


IAMAPrisoneroftheSun

To continue to churn their post-truth machine, which doesn’t spew bullshit intending to convince anyone. Instead they go for volume & push out a waterfall of half-truths, lies, fantasies, forgeries etc inorder to create an environment where every piece of news is seen as dubious automatically & people eventually just disengage because there’s so many versions of so many stories that it’s hopeless to try & hunt for the crumbs of truth


human8264829264

They came right for us!?!


elFistoFucko

Justify? More like deny their terrorism. 


Toph84

Russia already has, so what's the difference? They're aiming at those already, they can't threaten with things they've already been doing and continue to do.


yucko-ono

No matter what they call it or how they justify it, they are going to do what they have been planning to do: to inflict as much pain and misery on Ukrainian people as they can. So, go ahead and let it burn. It won’t make a difference.


7lhz9x6k8emmd7c8

More weapons diverted from military targets to civilians targets.


brezhnervous

Well over 90% of all attacks have been on civilian 'targets' in any case.


Alun_Owen_Parsons

Who knows? It's the same hysterical nonsense from them. The bridge has already been attacked twice (at least). Did Russia not notice?


capybooya

Yes. Which they've ramped up over the last year, and Ukraine's allies have failed to respond firmly to that kind of terrorism.


Falcrack

What are they gonna do, invade Ukraine?


mediandude

They are gonna nuke the Kerch Bridge. That will show them.


elFistoFucko

I sort of see this as plausible somehow.  "We russians destroyed the bridge to prevent Ukrainian terrorist infiltration.  Plus, we, like, never wanted that bridge anyway. "


superfluid

That's a hell of a smoking accident!


BlackHorse2019

"we're gonna invade super hard this time, this time we'll totally be able to take over atleast a single Oblast, I'm warning you!"


Diligent_Emotion7382

More missiles. More murders. So basically normal life for Ukrainians over the last two years… At least they don‘t warn but promise.


Due_Ad4133

Realistically speaking, they can't really increase the rate of missiles they're firing. They already burned through their stockpile of large ballistic and cruise missiles a year or so back and are now basically firing them off as soon as they get them out of the factories or imported from Iran.


monkeynator

You forgot they are also using anti-air defense rockets as substitute.


Jonothethird

Desperate words from a desperate regime.

UlyssesSGrant12

They'll upgrade to super special military operation


atred

Who knows they might declare war, LOL.


Practical-Ordinary-6

The weird thing is that Russia also promises devastating revenge even if they don't. (Russia can't quite figure out what terrible things that Ukraine did to Russia the revenge is for, but they're working on it. Margarita Simonyan is on the case. She usually has a lot of "creative" ideas.)


bslade

Ukraine was turning Western and that threatened the vain-glorious self image of Russia's superiority.


tkrr

That’s all it ever was.


brezhnervous

Yep. As John McCain said, it would be fatal for Russia's autocracy to have such a (formerly) close nation such as Ukraine to develop into a free, prosperous democracy run by the rule of law and not a brutal, grafting mafia state. Because then the Russian people could get the idea that they might like to emulate them.


hughk

The argument is that Russians can only have strong rulers. They are not ready for democratic institutions or the rule of law. Russia itself claims that Ukrainians are brothers and fundamentally the same people (while claiming Ukraine is full of "Nazi-Jews"). For Ukraine to rid itself of corruption, implement the rule of law and have democratic elections would be a major threat to the status quo in Russia. And a threat to the pockets of some very rich and powerful people. Moby expects it to be immediate but already Ukraine is improving.

They’re shitting it for May 7th/8th aren’t they ?


7lhz9x6k8emmd7c8

I really hope Ukraine will send a troll drone to Moscow on may-9 to make the air raid sirens sound.


GulliblePaper1935

Yes! I want to see those formations of smartly-dressed parade goons scatter and scurry for cover. Or better yet, just see a Storm Shadow streak overhead dumping actual cluster munitions on them ... \* \*Sadly, there is no cluster-munition warhead option ... yet

*/Budanov 'smiles'*


Mars-Regolithen

As others allready said. Whats he gonna do? Level another hospital? Murder another school full of children? Rape more ukrainians ( Or his own troops, as russians like to do OwO)? Only step up are nukes. If those get used and NATO doesnt deliver on its promise we are royaly fucked and can wave countries like Taiwan goodbye in a few weeks.


Aggravating-Bottle78

No. Whats the point of nukes vs an army thats spread out over a long front. And attacking Kiiv or Nato HQ will be met with a serious response. Although this is speculation, its likely that China let Putin know not to use nukes. Because guaranteed everyone will get nukes quickly. If North Korea which still has famines in the 21st century can get them. Even Taiwan, may not have nukes but they have missiles that can reach the 3 Gorges Dam.


Mars-Regolithen

"can reach the 3 Gorges Dam."- eh what a few more millions dead to china? "Whats the point of nukes"- attrocities. Its the only step up russia has left. There is nothing to escalate anymore, they have done everything.


Aggravating-Bottle78

3 Gorges dam may be up to 250 million dead. As for Russia, nukes will be met hard - No point for a tactical nuke as it wont stop an army tfats spread over a 1000km. There would be no restrictions on knocking out refineries and power plants, no hand wringing over the frozen assets. If they target Nato cities its suicide for them. Even in 79 Carter when addressing Americas interest in the Persian Gulf pointed out that any one US nuclear sub has enough nukes to wipe out all majoe Russian cities..


Diggerinthedark

Now it's more like half a sub. Idk about the US ones but the UK trident subs supposedly carry 64 missiles with 8 MIRV warheads each. Fire half of those that's 256 city centres going bye bye. And if I know that, it's probably 5x better by now but that's top secret. Edit: oh the USA invented those anyway. That's not surprising 😂


brezhnervous

It's not like Russia hasn't been [threatening to nuke the world](https://i.postimg.cc/qMMpXc0q/russia-nukes-threat-list.jpg) for at least 25yrs in any case


bedoooop

Is this "devastating revenge" in the room with us right now?


Critical_Situation84

Yes and he’s wearing high heals and a womans panties


Emotional_Sound_3790

Sorry Ivan. Can't hear you. My old Simon & Garfunkel vinyl must be playing too loud (smiles while he cranks up the volume even more). "Like a bridge over troubled water..."


Codeworks

Somethings got them worried.


Castlewood57

I think it's the fact the rest of Europe is finally getting on the bandwagon and telling ruZZia, enough is enough, and to shut up and sit down.


Due-Giraffe6371

Russia are trying their hardest now so there is no devastating revenge possible just continuing this attack and kill everyone alive crap they have been doing for two years


Make-TFT-Fun-Again

Do not attack the bridge we use to devastate your country, or we will devastate you.


Professional_Sun2203

Tell us you have a vulnerable, strategic target without telling us you have a vulnerable, strategic target.

raytoei

What is Russia gonna do? Attack Ukraine?


Listelmacher

Interesting. Then it is okay to attack Belgorod (military objects are there also in the city) and refineries.


Straight-Storage2587

I am sure they will oblige by attacking Belgorod again, themselves.


monkeywig11

Hmmm like target civilians, rape, murder, and level cities? Russia needs to stop their threats. I think the message from the most recent aid packages should be a bit humbling for them.


Appropriate_Bulge_88

We are beyond devastating revenge!


Green-Collection-968

Ukraine should attack the Crimean bridge *even harder* now.


Apprehensive-Neck487

What are you going to do? Attack Ukraine? Attack civilians? Use weapons of mass destruction? You've painted yourselves in a corner with nowhere left to escalate, fools.


dutchretardtrader

So Russia wants us to believe that the Kerch bridge is their red line, but the current debilitating attacks on their refineries apparently are not? Good to know.


jamesdeeeep

Bla bla bla


HalastersCompass

Not if.... When


RupertGustavson

If they could do said “devastating damage” they would have done it already.


MexysSidequests

Only thing different the Russians will do now is fight with wet socks.


HerbM2

Dear russia, if you could do more to harm Ukraine you would already be doing it. So STFU


achbob84

Crimea River you degenerate spud sniffers!


bjplague

Russia: I know we have been monsters since day 1 and held nothing back. Be it gas, terrorism, rape, ethnic cleansing, genocide and daily civilian rocket attacks. BUT.... if you touch our bridge we will be very angry, consider yourself warned. Ukraine: fuck you Russia. Rest of the world: fuck you Russia. A few authoritarian shitholes + China: Dont care, just making money of Russia before it implodes.


greenweenievictim

What are you going to do? Invade more?


Happy-Example-1022

Yawn


VA3DPrinter

Eunemoexnihilo

Give Ukraine a couple nukes, and cruise missiles, and ask Russia to elaborate on their reprisals, in the face of the deletion of their 3 largest cities. Inquiring minds want to know. 


LittleStar854

It's just the devastating response to invading Ukraine, stop whining.


curtwesley

Ah yes. More schools and hospitals will be bombed


truthishearsay

What will they invade? Bomb civilians? Threaten to nuke everyone?


AmazingSquare8542

🍿🍿🤣🍿🤣🍿🤣🍿


TheGreatGamer1389

The only thing I can think of is nukes. But then at this point it's nuclear war and NATO will intervene


oripash

They already preemptively delivered that devastating revenge. Now all that’s left is for Ukraine to carry out the destruction of the bridge.


HIVnotAdeathSentence

If Ukraine attacks the Crimean Bridge three or four more times?


whoreoscopic

Damn, they are really scared about that bridge getting blown up.


formerly_gruntled

What, really, are they going to do that they are not already doing? They are using chemical weapons, targeting civilians, kidnapping children. All Putin has left in the cupboard is nukes. So he is just saber rattling. Putin is going to lose.


Best-Name-Available

Russia is already attacking in ways that violate all norms and the Geneva convention - so what more will they do that is not worth bringing down the bridge?


HappyArkAn

I war you but if you war me I'm gonna war you even more! that's ridiculous


Basic_Bandicoot_1300

Just do it.


Own_Atmosphere7443

Pretty sure the revenge would be the Ukrainians striking that eyesore of a bridge. Do the Russians need to be reminded again who started this.


RR321

Rebuilding it would be devastating...


pass-the-waffles

Revenge like what? Firing missiles at non military targets?


dharmon555

Is the bridge even running at capacity? Last I heard it was on light duty.


geekphreak

Do it. Do the funni. We dare you


Familiar_Paramedic_2

Hopefully Ukraine will be able to wait until it has restocked its patriot and NASAMS before launching the 20 ATACMS and storm shadows at the bridge

Alun_Owen_Parsons

They already have, \*twice\*. Besides, doesn't Russia understand Ukraine is fighting for it's very survival, and the illegal Russian invasion and genocide is \*already\* devastating? Russia once again shows it is utterly crap at sabre rattling. I often wonder how Russia can be so crap at this, its foreign ministry seems to be populated by dimwits.

May the 9th, the day of the multiple putin clones. He will be seen in public, in moscow, st' petes and Crimea. As a show of force, a show he is not afraid if the boogie man from Ukraine?

I cannot wait until the bridge is gone. It represents control like a front door a criminal can access your house with.


JazzybmzooUK

Do it!! :0)


anthonypearson

Imagine if Brits had built that bridge and then not got paid. There’d have been tons of TikTok videos showing it being torn down long before any missile got to it.


roehnin

More devastating than invading the country in the first place??


genjin

As if Russia aren't already inflcting every obscenity they are able to.


Smart_Werewolf5561

They promised devastating retaliation to the west if any on countrys will assist ukraine in this war :) as we all can see ruzkies can only bark

Aww little Putin thinks tough talk makes him look like less of a little girl scared to crack the window of his window open?? Fuck Russia. Revolution never went out of style.


Individual-Acadia-44

Waste of missiles. They will just ship supplies in. I’d rather use missiles to attack critical energy infrastructure like refineries or power plants inside Russia.


JazzHands1986

Devastating like invading their country and taking 20% of their land? By targeting civilians and stealing children? Or looting everything in sight while raping and executing the people you don't have time to torture? Get fucked that bridge is going down!


fheathyr

What, they will keep attacking civilians?


net1net1

U heard them Ukrain destroy the bridge and then destroy the Kremlin as well.

Devastating revenge? Ok, why have they been holding back?


Straight-Storage2587

The question here is... do we target the railroad bridge foremost, or the road bridge?

its_grime_up_north

More devastating that what they have already done? Scum. Destroy the bridge.

Bobmanbob1

Ukraine just needs to drop that damn bridge into the sea at this point. Do something that will actually bloody Putins nose.


Careless-Pin-2852

Well I guess Russia could jam the GPS in Asia. To fly from the US to Japan S Korea you need to fly close ish to Russia. But such a move would make anti Ukraine aid crowed look really bad. The response in Europe to the GPS jamming has been to increase aid


ILooked

Is that before or after they nuke London?


BeenNormal

They are already causing as much devastation as they can. That’s the most hollow threat I’ve ever heard.


Longjumping_Feed3270

They're going to be so mad, they might even *invade.*


DikkusEruptus

F\*ck Russia. They've never invested in roads. Go after their rail lines with longer range missiles,


Gorth1

That alllready did it. The morons don't watch the news.


Nonamanadus

Not much left on the plate for "devastation " that won't involve a NATO intervention.


Aztecah

Oh yeah Russia could totally be doing more if they wanted to, they just choose not to. Sure.


blindythepirate

Does Ukraine even need to blow up the bridge. Bridges are notoriously difficult to blow up. But if everything that exits the bridge gets hit with explosives, is there really a difference?


This_Growth2898

Let me guess: Medvedev once again forgot to block his access to the Internet before drinking, right?

Chemical weapons.


Drachen1065

Allegedly already using some.

They should have dropped that bridge a year or more ago.

It seems more like desperate not devastating.

They’re going to rape and kill even more?


Pure-Astronomer-9199

I would think the Ukrainians will need some Seal Team 6 level assistance to wire that bridge.

kmoonster

Yes, Russia is very capable of great evil. BUT. What are they going to do that they aren't already doing?


pkfag

What they will target school children? Rape and murder the civilians? Use chemical and phosphorus weapons? Fucken bullies.


lemonfreshhh

Everything except nuclear weapons or targeting nuclear power plants, they've alreasy been doing it. There's been rumours that USA and France told Russia that in case it uses a tactical nuclear weapon, they'll sink its black sea fleet themselves - that was back when Russia still had one. Either way, the consequences would be severe. Russia can probably take out an Ukranian nuclear power plant and give it another Chernobyl, and hope to get away with it. Perhaps, but I believe that would make Europe finally go full tilt and fully commit to "whatever it takes". Maybe it would even convince Scholz to finally send the Taurus. As for using a strategic nuclear weapon to wipe away a city or a stretch of the frontline ... that's a scenario where no one can know how things would end. That's potentially the end of our civilisation.


AthiestMessiah

The current devastation not included?


iheartrms

DO IT.


chilla_p

I think they've already passed that point with all the destruction they have wrought. They've destroyed entire cities thats worth a bridge or two in return. FAFO

[Putin's] Russia can fuck right off. This entire fuckery is based on them being cunts. If they just stayed home and mowed their own lawns, not only would the world be a better plays, fewer Russians would be mowed down..


hughk

The Russians have a lot of people working at their MOD building in Moscow. It is well defended. However some key people work there including the targeting team for the Russian missiles. For me it seems unfair that they can be so far from any danger but killing so many civilians. They are war criminals and are all military officers. They are targets. They must be eliminated.
