President Vladimir Putin said Tuesday that there would be “serious consequences” if Western countries allowed Ukraine to use their weapons to strike targets in Russia, as sought by Kyiv.

    Then stop striking Ukrainian targets from within Russia. What an asswipe.

              Who else is doing it?

              Russia is striking Ukrainian targets from Ukrainian territory which, according to the used phrasing, is fine.

                Artillery wise yes, but a lot of russian aviation striking ukrainian targets are based well within pre feb 2022 russian controlled borders

                If you read that comment and thought they were saying that it’s fine when Russia attacks Ukraine, so long as it’s done from within Ukraine using shorter range missiles, then you need to touch some grass, speak face to face with some actual humans, and discover how people talk, because any normal person wouldn’t interpret that comment that way.

              With a bit of practice you too will be able to follow conversations. :)

                I’m following just fine. Who else is firing into Ukraine?

                It only makes sense to take issue with only telling Russia not to do it if others are doing it too.

                Perhaps you should work on your ability to follow conversations, and also to be less condescending, fuckwit. 😘

                  No, you’re not.

                  The implication - whether or not it was intentional - is that it’s fine to fire on Ukraine from within Ukraine.

                    It really isn’t implied at all.

                    I genuinely don’t mean this in a nasty way: I think you need more experience in talking to actual human beings face to face. The misunderstanding you have here is probably down to rusty communication skills.
