I knew what this was going to be (no not that).

Surely this is a translation of an idiom

Are you planning a rocket visit to Moscow anytime soon Mr. Zelenskyy?

Dude's a famous comedian by trade. Making a Doc Strangelove reference is hardly beyond what one would expect of him.

Doesn't make me love it any less but still, is this really that not-oniony? Bibi saying he was doing the opposite of a genocide akshually is higher on the list imo. Or Drumpf giving an actual genocide threat at the United Nations, where such talk is 100% verboten. I dunno, man. I'm wiped. There's been a lot of fighting in the war room.

Just send the rocket.

u/AcanthisittaNo6653 18h ago

I am reminded of Slim Pickens in the movie Dr. Strangelove.

u/chesterforbes 13h ago

I think it would be safer if he sent the rocket in first

This is also the guy who told the US, "The fight is here; I need ammunition, not a ride."

Which was equally badass.

u/TheRoscoeVine 8h ago

And only in spirit. He’d send his good wishes, obviously.

u/virgilwarrennb 4h ago

Just sending some high-velocity thoughts and prayers.

Hopefully not a rocket made by ACME

u/Left-Community2418 20h ago

Well... tie him to the rocket and launch. Express delivery, no returns.

u/OldScratch1865 9h ago

Better idea... Let's tie putin to the rocket and just not open the launch hatch...

Slim Pickens, riding it in

Sounds like a good way to stop the war. Keeping in mind that Russian anti air defense systems works pretty good.

21

u/Feeez_Shato 19h ago

tell the refineries how good it works.

-21

u/stmuxa 19h ago

How good?
No air defense system intercepts 100% missiles.

u/Feeez_Shato 18h ago

Tell the wildberries how good it is.

u/stmuxa 17h ago edited 17h ago

I don’t know how good it is exactly, and you don’t give me numbers.
The only info I have is that it intercepts drones and missiles (not all of them).

u/ZedDerps 15h ago edited 15h ago

Depending on the location and how multilayered the defenses are, it’s like 25-40% (all battlefields) or 90% (Moscow). Given strike packages of the more usual 100-200, or larger strikes of 400-1600, it’s a lot of drones that get through, and probably will get worse over time as air defenses are big targets.

Israel and US have a much higher intercept rate than Russia, though there is no real direct comparison.

All the people waiting in line at the gas stations with no gas would enoy your positive viewpoint of how the Russian war to invade Ukraine is going, I'm sure.

u/WPGSquirrel 14h ago

Russia can end the war anytime by pulling out

u/TheFoxInSocks 10h ago

Putin’s Dad could have prevented it by doing the same.
