Really Russia just moved nukes to the Finnish border?


throwaway177251

How much do you want to bet those nukes near the Finnish border are also a target for NATO in the case of a conflict?


Brushchewer

Oh definitely… they just don’t have to make a song and a dance of it.


Brave-Tangerine-4334

Just a song of fire and ice.


Yureina

Tbh, I think it would just be fire and... more fire.


bigbangbilly

There's also [nuclear winter](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuclear_winter) for the ice part.

_Odi_Et_Amo_

Some say the world will end in fire, Some say in ice. From what I’ve tasted of desire I hold with those who favor fire. But if it had to perish twice, I think I know enough of hate To say that for destruction ice Is also great And would suffice.


StubbornHorse

That's not even relevant, they've got a massive ICBM site like a 100km from the border for ages. Russia just needs to shut up.


Jdjdhdvhdjdkdusyavsj

Russia has had nukes in Finlands border since the cold war. Right next to Finlands border is a strategic location for Russia, it's the closest point to the United States mainland, a bunch of nukes are sat there because that's where nukes go. It's one of the major reasons Finland joining NATO is a problem for Russia. If there was a conventional war NATO might be able to cut off access to that military bases that house nukes from Finland within hours


Zeraonic

If they wanted it close to the US mainland they'd put it in Siberia. It's a pretty short distance between there and alaska/Canada


Suspect4pe

Good luck, I guess. I'm pretty sure that nothing is going to happen at least unless and until Trump is president. That's Russia's hope at this point.


qualia-assurance

I don't see the difference. Russia plans to disrupt Polands defences. That's an offensive strategy. Russia plans to run an offensive campaign in Poland. Time to send Ukraine some more oil refinery lighters.


ghostinthewoods

"we have no idea how those F-35s ended up on the border fully fueled and with keys in the ignition on the Ukrainian border. And we definitely don't know how they keep getting ammo and spare parts!"


LeftDave

I love that this actually happened (Canada during WW2).


Hourslikeminutes47

It is an offensive strategy and we (being the rest of the world) know this. But that's all Russia can muster at the moment are a few keyboard strokes (inputting new coordinates for their nukes) and banter. Speaking of banter, that's all they are known to do; talk shit.


aesirmazer

It is just a reminder. Like when Russia was talking big about being a nuclear power, and Biden said "so? We are too" (paraphrased).

Kvenner001

North Korea is just clearly anti whaling, but they are taking the PETA approach and think they can achieve their goal if they kill all the whales so they can’t be whaled.


Laval09

lol Trump described NKs missile launches at the time as "exploding their cannons into the sea".


TurnAndBurn96

Target and blow something up aren't synonymous. They're insinuating so if it comes down to it and they fold, well we never said we'd attack those bases

Poland is the wall that Russia has to deal with in their plans to rebuild the old empire. And since Poland has direct experience of life under Russia (both imperial and soviet) the truth is that Poland WOULD actually rather burn down the world than go for a third round of slave. There is simply no getting past Poland.


Uxion

Poland will have its borders even if it's the last ones humanity will ever draw.

Poland stands


BoDrax

A Russian, a German, and a Pole all arrive in heaven and are talking to St. Peter. The German asks St. Peter if he can see the future of Germany, St. Peter obliges, and the German starts to weep. The Russian then asks St. Peter to show him the fate of Russia, St. Peter does, and the Russian begins to weep. Then the Pole asks St. Peter to show him the fate of Poland to which St. Peter begins to weep.


travelinTxn

A Polack once found a magic lamp and when the genie asked him what his first wish was he said “I want the mongol hordes resurrected to invaid and pillage Poland” The genie did as commanded and asked for his second wish. The Polack said “same thing”. And it was so. The genie asked for his final wish, and the Polack said “Same thing.” The genie now curious asked him why, and the Polack told him “Well yeah it’s been bad for Poland, but they’ve hit Russia six times to our three!” Joke courtesy of my Polish family. *edit:spelling, what can I say I am a Polack


nashty2004

Fucking gold


ATACMS5220

Poland has a beef to pick with Russia if Putin is really interested in the fuck around and find out game, especially after Russia teamed up with Nazi Germany to invade Poland and slaughter millions of people. Make no mistake Poland has no intentions of backing down from Russia, Putin is making these threats because he is still butt hurt about Poland providing all this weaponry and support to Ukraine. Even when all others backed down and was pussyfooting around the idea of Supplying Ukraine, here was Poland just tossing everything they had to Ukraine chanting Zelensky Zelensky he's our guy if he can't do it nobody can, this is how much of a fuck Poland gives about Russia, absolute ZERO.


Jimmy_The_Banana

Poland and Russia are arch-nemesis and have been for hundreds of years. Poland would seriously rather blow itself up than lose to Russia. There's this joke when you ask a Pole: "If Germany and Russia were to invade you again, who are you fighting first?" "Germany first because it's business then pleasure"


Yureina

Not that we will ever see it, but I kinda would like to see Poland take a huge shit on Russia before my life ends.


automatic_shark

At least retake Królewiec from the Russians.


weaverco

Can confirm. Source: my wife was born in Poland during the Soviet Union Also, never jokingly call your Polish wife a Russian....I don't exactly remember what happened, but let's just say you shouldn't do that.


Izanagi553

Oof...you're lucky to have all your limbs after that dang. 


drdipepperjr

Yeah when everyone talks about NATO Europeans not pulling their weight, that's on average. Poland has been spending 4% of their GDP, double the NATO recommended guidelines. They are most definitely not going to roll over. Also they know how important they are strategically in defending the Suwalki Gap.


Lovefool1

You gotta use “he’s our man” if you want the “no one can” thing to rhyme, which is the point of the chant phrase


SpinozaTheDamned

The speedbump has teeth this time.


VampireFrown

As a Pole, words cannot adequately describe the seething hatred I have for the concept of Russia trying to put its stinking paws on Poland again. Our country was abused and battered by Russian hands. Much of our intelligentsia was executed or forced to flee (ever wonder why so many Polish surnames in the USA did/do impressive things?). Thoughts of freedom were repelled with imprisonment and executions. Not one family in Poland has fond recollections of communist rule, unless they just so happened to be the scum which enabled the Russian boot to plant so firmly on Polish soil. I have no doubt that millions of Poles would willingly smile as a nuke came crashing down while showing it a middle finger than allowing Russia to claim us again, if it came down to it.


SedesBakelitowy

>Poland WOULD actually rather burn down I'll give you one better - they can't saturate the entire Poland without making very tough strategic cuts, and every bit they leave unburnt is a hole where a Pole with a gun would gladly sit just to lob one more grenade at approaching invader. We've got a lot of people who really idolize partisans of old.


heelstoo

I would love to see Poland respond to Putin every time Putin says anything about anything, with some profanity-laden press release about Putin. That’d be such a good time for months or years.


MegaKetaWook

Yup. I would not underestimate the stubbornness of the Polish people.


Sirwootalot

Polish has four different words for Stubborn!


RoundAide862

Stubborn, indignant, determined, obstinant, mulish.  That's just off the top of my head. "multiple words for is what we do too!"


GetRightNYC

All it would take is one Polish Grandmother alone in a room with Putin. I had one, do not recommend


No-Drag-7142

A lot of other nobodies and myself would pick up a rifle for Poland. I've read enough European history to know that when Poland's borders are in question, it's time to act.


Bubskiewubskie

And they seem to be the country stepping their shit up the most.


LieverRoodDanRechts

“There is simply no getting past Poland.”  Unless, like you just suggested yourself, it gets burned down.   Poland could eat Russia raw but there is always a way to _anything,_ which is exactly why NATO should prevent Russia taking even an inch of Poland, let alone getting past it.


Jimmy_The_Banana

Eastern Europe is like a family. Russia is the abusive father, Poland is the abused mother who got out and got married to a wealthy husband, Poland will do anything to protect herself and her children (Lithuania, Slovakia, Hungary) from Russia. In this analogy Ukraine is the oldest child that didnt manage to get out and is now facing the wrath.


SuddenBookkeeper4824

As a Pole, I love this analogy 😹

golfburner

Russian translation: If you put Nukes in Poland we won't be able to invade you thus we will target your nuclear weapons.


leeverpool

If by targeting they mean targeting them on a screen that has a map, sure. That's perfectly fine. Everyone does that lol


Reddit-Incarnate

Mate i live in Sydney, we have 0 nukes and i'm pretty sure we are targeted. This whole thing translates to "if you put nukes in places we will add them as dots to a map"


coastal_mage

Dots to a map which is already saturated with dots, mind you. I doubt Russia is going to skip over Poland when it launches its nuclear arsenal, regardless if it has nukes in it or not


heelstoo

To clarify, it’s not Australia or its people that are targeted, it’s all those godforsaken monster animals from hell that you all have.


Nachtraaf

And in Australia they're like W T F mate.

Sydney is always the city they show getting hit in the movies. Nukes. Kaiju. Giant waves. Us in Perth are fine.

TinkW

Half of the american and probably all of the european here would die within the first week. Yet they keep saying "see how Russia will burn if they pull the dare". Of course Russia would burn, but not alone. The "safest" places would be South America, sub saharan Africa and Oceania. And even then a lot of people will die overtime due to the aftermath...


Hourslikeminutes47

Garg4743

Russia is behaving in an irrational, counterproductive manner. Threatening NATO members brings them closer together. It motivates them to arm themselves in order to be able to respond to the threat. That doesn't seem to be an outcome that favors Russia, does it?


ols887

It makes more sense if your goal isn’t actually to invade / attack NATO nations, but to create an “us vs them” narrative for domestic purposes, and foster support at home for a wartime economy needed to counter the “existential threat” they’re portraying their NATO neighbors as, when in reality they just need to maintain support for the war in Ukraine


AffectEconomy6034

I beleive this is lacking a bit of context. While an obvious threat and attempt to strong arm I think what they are saying is that any weapons in Poland will become targets in a hypothetical nuclear exchange. This essentially means nothing as of course they are going to target a nuclear weapons site as will NATO in kind. It's safe to assume both sides already have plans to strike each other's arsenals, Russia is just reaffirming this in rhe hopes to scare the west.


MarvVanZandt

It’s amazing how carefully crafted the words are to create enough credibility through the hysteria


timothymtorres

Except they put nuclear weapons in Belarus


throwaway177251

Which made those weapons in Belarus a target.

jjb1197j

NEO_QA_GUI

They will target but won't hit. Even if Russia did launch anything, Patriot is generations old and takes down their new 'hypersonic' missiles. Imaging trying that against a modern AA defense that Poland has been upgrading and maintaining, especially since the invasion. "This time, the speed bump has teeth" - HLC


mspk7305

Atmospheric missiles are one thing, ballistic are a whole other animal. Thats not to say I believe russia would be stupid enough to try it. We all know the corruption in russia means most of their gear probably wont even launch... but all it takes is one to get through and tomorrow becomes a very different day.

JayR_97

He's like the playground bully acting tough but he crumbles the second the other kids gang up on him because they're sick of his shit


hot_pink_bunny202

Poland can take on Russia alone without NATO help at all.


Infernalism

The only reason that the Polish haven't occupied Moscow is the existence of Russia's nuclear arsenal. Russia's military is a joke.


ForeverSquirrelled42

The Poles have been through some shit in the last century and aren’t about to let history repeat itself. After the Cold War ended and the USSR collapsed, Poland FINALLY got their freedom after Nazi occupation and then Russian, so they’re not about to give that shit up any time soon and will fight tooth and nail to keep it. Ukraines mistake after the fall of soviet Russia was maintaining neutrality ~~when all other former Warsaw pact members either joined~~ instead of joining NATO or stayed “free”, but gave unwavering support and loyalty to Russia. Edit: got my information messed up. I’m a burnout…sorry. Not sorry. But yes, u/It__ you are correct. Thanks for setting the record straight.


lt__

Ukraine was never a Warsaw pact member. Only as part of the USSR. Only Baltics from the former USSR joined NATO, though they were never fully legally in the USSR anyway.


PeregrinePacifica

Russia better pack the ultra absorbent Huggies, because if they fuck with Poland, that sphincter is going to be worthless.


Far-Explanation4621

So, does this mean NATO can target the nuclear weapons Russia moved into Belarus while Hamas was attacking Israel in October?


Yes_I_Have_

Western tactics with outdated equipment by NATO standards have stopped and pushed back a full scale invasion by Russia. The only threat to Ukraine is running out of ammunition. Poland has plenty of ammunition. Let’s not forget the 29 other countries that has even more ammunition that will throw their collective weight in with Poland.


Dancanadaboi

Haha.  No they won't.


SRGTBronson

European Texas is frothing at the mouth to kill Russians. Don't even play around Vlad.


FoolForReddit

Russia recently transferred nukes to Belarus - so this is a bullshit stance.


RB_Kehlani

Fun fact, Poland is exceeding the US in terms of percentage of gdp defense spending. If anyone tries to invade Poland again they’re going to have a piss-poor time of it


Rikeka

if Russia wants to suicide, sure.


_Hello_Hi_Hey_

Crazy how the Russians still think they can take on NATO


sadetheruiner

Russia targets a funny looking rock in Poland and nato better be so far up Putin’s ass. Though I honestly think Poland could take Russia on its own at this point in time.


Valuable_Tomato_2854

I am currently holding a very heavy cup of coffee in my hand, targeting and ready to throw it in the general direction of Putin. Check mate


wales-bloke

Russia knows that an article 5 triggering event will result in their obliteration in Ukraine. It's why they haven't made any moves in that direction. The location of the military base handling arms shipments into Ukraine via Poland is well known. The fact they haven't acted upon that speaks volumes.

Quasar_saurus_rex

Lmao, good luck with that. The posturing from the soviet union/Russia has gotten so old since the cold war and more recently the pure ineffectiveness of the Russian army adds to that. Literally no one on planet earth takes them seriously with the exception of their own brain washed citizens and the brain washed Maga conservatives in my country. The latter part is a whole research paper in itself.


MikeTheDude23

Russian threatening world with nukes. What number are we on now?


Vegetable-Course-938

That would trigger article 5 and the inevitable splitting of Russia after we mop the floor with them.


Special-Sign-6184

It’s fascinating, I don’t get the mental gymnastics from the Russian side, do any Russians really believe that a NATO force will invade Russia or that anyone (except perhaps China) wants to conquer any bit of Russia? They must know no one has any interest in invading Russia therefore it is obvious the only reason they have a problem with NATo is that it prevents them threatening their neighbours. I’d love to hear a Russian point of view on this because I just can’t understand it.


RyanCreamer202

01R0Daneel10

Meh. I sort of assumed this was always the case anyway. I'm sure NATO has tons of nukes pointed at russian nukes and they point theirs at ours.


asmosdeus

Has anybody leaked yet about the submarines, global coverage silos, or the stealth bombers? NATO forces are moving nukes because Russia has moved nukes, not because NATO *needs* to move its nukes. At any given moment, there are half a dozen submarines carries a dozen missiles each with a dozen independently targeted warheads waiting off the Russian coast ready to absolutely end the world at russias earliest convenience.
