... Russia has to be testing boundaries.

[-]

Concerned_Medic@reddit

Yeah, this harkens to Cuban missile crisis era cold war boundry testing and posturing on Russia's part. It'll be interesting to see the results of the NATO Article 4 meeting.

AntagonisticFetus@reddit

The Cuban Missile Crisis with a retarded Nixon at the helm.

[-]

Vricrolatious@reddit

Yes, but he's not now... right now we have the retarded Nixon.

[-]

maincoonpower@reddit

We do have a Kennedy in the current administration though

[-]

Honest_Persimmon_859@reddit

Can we swap Kennedys? I think the other one would still do better.

[-]

QHCprints@reddit

Even post Dallas-JFK would be better than current RFK.

[-]

Darkember556@reddit

Of course, even he would have more brains than the current Kennedy

[-]

Vricrolatious@reddit

It's a tough call, right? One is decaying and took a shot to the head. The other had his brain eaten by a worm. I think Zombie JFK wins though.

[-]

Grazedaze@reddit

Why did 3 people respond to OC by taking their joke and adding more clarity to it

[-]

Vricrolatious@reddit

We could have RFK Jr fight someone in a Chicken suit if you want? Maybe right on the White House lawn? That's a thing now, right?

[-]

ThirdEyeGroovin@reddit

Jesus Christ this was some dark humor I did not expect lmao

[-]

It’s kind of wild when you think about it, but between Rosemary getting lobotomized, JFK getting his head blown off, and RFK getting his brain eaten by worms, the universe seems to have a vendetta against Kennedy’s and their brains.

[-]

ThirdEyeGroovin@reddit

It really is. I’m a hippy and don’t trust all medical stuff, but holy crap is this dude nuts. I’ve seen the people drinking pee saying he’s nuts. If that doesn’t say something about the man it’s beyond me, and it blows because I’m currently being hit with multiple diseases at once lmao. Can’t just use voodoo science for serious crap

You get the Kennedy you deserve

Yes, I know, but Nixon ran against JFK in the 1960 election

Oof. Yeah.

[-]

melympia@reddit

Let's hope the result comes in before the Russians attack.

[-]

erbush1988@reddit

While I understand that they COULD attack -- why would they?

They've had their manpower reduced by a LOT in Ukraine, no? Obviously they could use unmanned vehicles and stuff, but still.

[-]

dplawrance@reddit

If Poland's Article 4 call only leads to NATO disarray, or a call for Article 5, which the US would likely veto, then it is probably a good time for Russia to claim the Suwaki Gap, the small strip of land separating Kaliningrad Oblast and Belarus, but belonging to Lithuania and Poland.

[-]

melympia@reddit

For the same reason they attackes Ukraine. Land. Power.

Also, it's rumored Putin wants to create a Russian empire - which includes all former members of the Warsaw Pact. Poland was a member...

[-]

Koraxtheghoul@reddit

Do you think this is a U2 incident type thing that blows over? I see it as likely.

[-]

Even_Routine1981@reddit

They're trying to provoke NATO to strike back as a means of justifying their security reasons for invading Ukraine.

[-]

HawaiianPunchaNazi@reddit

Or they're officially expanding their territory as they promised when putin gave the interview where he said they were going to reclaim all Russia's territory--either perceived purpose serves Putin's power grab purposes.

I think this was probably the 2024 Tucker Carlson interview with him, but not 100% sure.

[-]

Big_Fortune_4574@reddit

Why can’t they just come home an hour late like a normal teenager

[-]

Weak_Cheek8347@reddit

Apparently Russia sent Iranian drones into Poland

[-]

VorpalBlade-@reddit

Hopefully Putin keeps making bad decisions and forces some action and hard decisions from Republicans. We were pretty close to being Nazis in ww2 also until Pearl Harbor forced the issue. Obviously we don’t want something of that magnitude but a particularly egregious or stupid aggressive move by Russia might shake loose some of turnips coalition of the morons

[-]

TayWorGG@reddit

There was a nazi rally at Madison Square garden...

[-]

lorihamlit@reddit

Yep and our current presidents father attended that rally.

[-]

Ok_Sky8017@reddit

Presidents father? What is he like 120yrs old? Lol

[-]

lorihamlit@reddit

Wait are we talking about the rally from the 1920s? 😂 oh my lord I’m dumb ass

[-]

lukadelic@reddit

Yes, but people forget to mention the anti-Nazi protest going on at the same time and how they were driven outta town

[-]

oxfordcircumstances@reddit

100,000 counter protesters. Reddit trots out the Madison Square Garden rally like it's a gotcha moment while completely ignoring the absolutely hostile reception the Bund received. Leaders were jailed or deported. The House Un-American Activities committee investigated the Bund. The Bund was literally outlawed after pearl harbor.

Well that's good news. Let's run it back

AnbuGuardian@reddit

You do know they probably have super advanced tech too. George Knapp literally confirmed they have been studying anti gravitic tech for at least 40 years. Russia, China, and U.S. now have out of this world tech each one is saving only for conflict between any of these 3

You lost me at Republicans.

Conscious-Pickle-695@reddit

Timeline: Putin visits China for eastern dictator conference. Putin flies drones into Poland. Putin flies drones into Lithuania.

The bad guys had a chat and now they’re looking to press on borders. Get ready folks.

[-]

whatThePleb@reddit

Sadly this. It's the start for their braindead NWO.

[-]

JustNeedAnswers78@reddit

I really highly doubt that they would provoke an attack. Either they are incredibly stupid or they know something we don’t.

[-]

Academic_Win6060@reddit

Agree. What would it benefit Russia to provoke a NATO response? False flags?

[-]

rydorzirix9122@reddit

When Russia actually makes their move, China will jump into Taiwan, and North Korea will invade South. We'll either back down or go with nukes.

[-]

reality72@reddit

It’s twofold:

If Russia truly believes that conflict with the west is inevitable then this is them testing our response times and reaction
If Russia can convince even just one NATO member that the rest of the alliance will not come to their aid in the event of conflict with Russia then the entire alliance could fall apart, which would then give Russia a free pass to invade Europe.

[-]

Aimless_Alder@reddit

I think they are trying to normalize incursions so that NATO doesn't respond. Europe has shown itself to be very hesitant to engage militarily, and the US is increasingly isolationist. I think Putin believes that if he encroaches slowly enough, NATO will find justification not to defend Poland and the Baltics.

[-]

Prudent_Clothes_962@reddit

When the US doesn't enforce anything the alliance will disintegrate

[-]

imaim3@reddit

THIS.

Provoke enough to force a NATO softer response that will help understand where the good ole USofA lands.

I think you are on to something meaningful here - it's geo-political recon...test not just of NATO - but of the US commitment there of/to.

[-]

SmileAggravating9608@reddit

A number of benefits I can imagine for them. Including testing our response times, getting to know our capabilities. Also normalizing this, poking us. Maybe doing some occasional damage.

Also for the internal audience. They'll sit back and laugh at our inept politicians and dumb non-response.

[-]

salesmunn@reddit

Fully intentional

[-]

MountainMapleMI@reddit

Capability testing.

[-]

Frequent_Can117@reddit

Laughable of Russia to test our capabilities when they can’t even fight themselves out of a paper bag.

[-]

The-Copilot@reddit

The overt response to this will be sanctions against Russia.

The covert response will be handing Ukraine a shit ton of long-range missiles with all the targeting data to strike high value targets in Russia.

This is how the West has been handling Russian aggression since the war started. There is no need for the West to be the ones pulling the trigger when they can hand the loaded gun to Ukraine and let them pull the trigger. This gives the West a veil of plausible deniability and distancing from the kinetic action.

This makes the West look weak from a PR perspective but also allows the West to take actions that, if they did directly, would lead to escalation and direct conflict.

massive poland W invoking article 4. I hope the result is just "increased cooperation on anti-air capabilities, and shoot down any goddamn object that enters our airspace"

[-]

Shooting down any unknown object is a very easy way to wind up with another IranAir Flight 655

weather balloons...of course

Hmmm two guesses as to who is responsible

[-]

thedeathllama@reddit

I know nothing about this area of the world, but I read an article last week about how apparently Russia is holding its "war games" this week and it was expected that they'd test boundaries during them and that Poland and a few other countries are on high alert? It's wild watching it play out that way in real time. Scary stuff.

[-]

spikeyTrike@reddit

Last time they held war games was February of 2022

Oh yikes 😳

PatochiDesu@reddit

what should they do?

[-]

meralakrits@reddit

Attack the launch sites

[-]

twarrr@reddit

That's the only option, considering it's wholy cost ineffective to just defend.

I guess there's the ol' classic of spys pushing radical organizations to get more radical, but this calls for direct, unified public response.

[-]

bsproutsy@reddit

What a dumb fucking question

[-]

PatochiDesu@reddit

no.

[-]

iKorewo@reddit

Shoot the fucking drones down?

[-]

qlohengrin@reddit

More arms for Ukraine.

[-]

KJHagen@reddit

On September 12th Russia will be kicking off the “Zapad 2025” military exercise. This involves the (simulated) use of nuclear weapons. Belarus plays an important role in this exercise.

It’s also important to note that Zapad involves Russian conscripts. Conscripts aren’t supposed to be in combat in Ukraine, but they aren’t restricted to other areas.

Please stop invading us uwu~ If you keep going we'll be vewwy sad :(
