~~in show of force~~ to escape Ukrainian drones.
Show of "force".
Our freedom of navigation exercises, their thuggish displays of intimidation
The sheer force of will to keep those leaky bastards topside...
You mean to show how fast they can run away?
TIL running away means going right up in to your enemy's face
Running away is how you capture territory in war? 🧐
"Show of force"
We've been watching your show of force for few years now and it's been unremarkable to say the least. A country without a navy has sunk your Black Sea fleet with modified jet skis. Just imagine what a country with navy could do.
Wow, they actually made it, well done russkies! Next, try to get the aircraft carrier work at least a week. That will put the fear into the hearts of every westerner.
Good.
I hope they took the opportunity to bring some supplies made scarce by the blockade
Showing support to a nation embargoed and impoverished by US aggression.
Lol, they literally illegally invaded a sovereign nation a year ago!
They joined a civil war in progress on the morally correct side
Looks like it’s time for Ukrainian Special Forces to go to work.
Can be sunk with an RC boat with firecrackers taped to it...scary scary.
Maybe they're looking for their missing sub too?
Lol they can't even protect their own ships next to Crimea. Homemade ski-do torpedos get the job done.
Meanwhile they're rocking a small flotilla geographically near the US?
"Oh but they could have nukes" the Russians already have ICBMs, like who tf cares? At this point all they can really do is threaten undersea cables or underwater gas pipelines
since this has no obvious strategic benefit, I'm starting the rumor that Putin is secretly on board and is going to Cuba for cancer treatment.
Steady hands.
Picture: man showing his willie out of pants
lol
Boromir: One does not simply walk into Mordor
Russia: swaggers into Mordor
Hoo boy the orcs and goblins are going to be hooting and hollering.
Since they're no longer able to do so in Ukraine
