Ukraine has fired long-range British Storm Shadow missiles into Russian territory for the first time, Bloomberg reported on Wednesday, citing an unnamed Western official. A spokesperson for Prime Minister Keir Starmer said his office would not be commenting on reports or operational matters. Britain had previously said Ukraine could use Storm Shadow cruise missiles within Ukrainian territory but the government has been pressing the United States for permission to allow their use to strike targets inside Russia for several months.

Reminder #1001 Russians can end this war at anytime by turning around and heading in north easterly direction

So could Ukraine, just sign a settlement. Obviously the terms won't be anywhere near as good as they could have been in the beginning of the war, but that's just how things are.

What if the west sends all its military might East for a couple of months and we can see how thing really are 😁
People rooting for Russia in this war are fascinating.
11systems11@reddit
I think people are rooting for peace more than they are for Russia. Do you have kids? Would you want them to go and fight?
Lost_Exp@reddit
That's a cheap cop out. Everyone wants peace, it's an empty sentiment.
I have kids. I have also lived in an soviet country.
I am willing to die so my kids don't live under Putin like regimes.
You have no clue if you think achieving peace by appeasing Putin is the way to go here.
There are hills people should be willing to die on and saving Ukraine from Russia is one of those hills. Just ask all the Ukrainians that have been putting their lives on the line to defend their country.
11systems11@reddit
Definitely not a hill I'd want my kids to die on, especially not being from Europe.
MayorWestt@reddit
Appeasement didn't work in ww2 and it won't work now. Letting russia win in ukraine is a sure fire way to make sure your kids die in a much broader European war
11systems11@reddit
So which is it, Russia isn't strong enough to take Ukraine, or they're going to take over all of Europe? Because that's what most are saying, and you can't have it both ways.
MayorWestt@reddit
I didn't say they were strong. But they are willing to fight and you aren't so who do you think would win?
11systems11@reddit
Our air force would win.
dontgoatsemebro@reddit
You're too scared to use your air force.
11systems11@reddit
Sure seems like the US really wants WW3, so...
MayorWestt@reddit
So your okay with someone making the sacrifice as long as it's not you or you're kids
11systems11@reddit
*your
11systems11@reddit
Sorry, still don't want my kids dying for Ukraine.

Do you want new Hitler? Cause that's how you get new Hitler...
11systems11@reddit
He had a much better army, if you know your history
Charlirnie@reddit
You are right but really so is Russia.... people forget countries are not a single entity. The people fighting and dying for Ukraine are innocent and have been sold out by the people in power. The US used Ukraine to create conflict with Russia they don't give a fuk about Ukrainians the top tier running the US has made fortunes already and would love to break Russia down and peace meal it. The US never does anything unless it benefits the few no matter the cost of themany.

I’m not dying nor is my family dying in a nuclear holocaust sorry
Lost_Exp@reddit
Let's all just coward under a table until we die of old age because some old KGB lunatic keeps threatening us.
You can't give in to the mafia boss in hopes he want treat you like one of his escorts.
We either punch him out or we will keep getting slapped around until we are too weak to resist.
MagickalFuckFrog@reddit
You might anyway, regardless of what the US does or doesn’t do.

Bro you’re a fat ass bald man posting on Reddit. Stfu
tactical-catnap@reddit
So if I invade your house, you'd be ok signing the deal that gives me your room?
Just sign the settlement
forkproof2500@reddit
Ah, the so-called two state solution?
that_guy124@reddit
Appeasment never works. This is an unprovoked war of territorial conquest. How naive are you to think that anything dickeater putin is willing to sign ist worth more than mustache mans munich agreement?

Great breakdown, armchair general. Pretty sure the people of Ukraine think your bullet points matter a whole lot.
TheEntosaur@reddit
Pretty sure it matters to Ukraine. Pretty sure it'd matter to you a whole lot if you were in the crosshairs today, and not just in a potential future scenario.

Is the uk production line for these still open? How many a month do they build?
EuroFederalist@reddit
Production line is open but quantaties aren't public information but looking at deliveries they can manufacture at least 150 each year. After 2022 UK ramped up production.
French make did make 400 SCALPs (their SH variant) each year before Russia invaded Ukraine.

Good way for British company to test it and charge government for it.
Military Industrial Complex at it again
Astrosurfing414@reddit
That’s awfully cynic. Arsenal of democracy at work, totalitarian imperialist regimes can go fuck themselves.

Military Industrial Complex
In the US the total market cap is less than a single stock, Apple.
Europe is learning the hard way that the peace dividend after the cold war ended is over.
Putin would be in Berlin if Europe had no resolve.
Semiotic_Weapons@reddit
It would be a waste to build the MIC and not use when necessary.
Ok_Connection_3234@reddit
Well, I’m certainly not fighting for Starmer he can fuck off. I will hunger strike and die before I am conscripted!
jolllyroger027@reddit
You show em chick pea.
Ok_Connection_3234@reddit
Why would I fight for a commie? 😆
jolllyroger027@reddit
You wouldn't. In both scenarios you're dead. starving to death will show em.
Ok_Connection_3234@reddit
Yes hence my point lol I would rather die of my own choice, than die fighting for commies!
jolllyroger027@reddit
The irony that your inadvertently siding with actual communists to escape the "commies" is impressive. Next time you touch grass apologize to the nearest tree for wasting all the oxygen it worked hard to produce.
Ok_Connection_3234@reddit
Do you have any idea about Joseph Starmer and what the man represents ? He’s taking part in a huge tax land grab, dragging us into wars abroad, destroying our national heritage & will certainly bring more folk in on dinghy boats by the thousand. So I’m good thanks, I’ll avoid fighting for that regime (and Russia before I’m called some sort of shill).
