It's always the worst people in the world, in charge of the worst possible decisions, at the worst possible time
The EU seem to think other wise. Let's see what happen wed since there will be a meeting in Paris between Russia and Ukraine, don't think anything will happen since Russia already got Crimea, their objective is pretty much accomplish.
Sigh, Missile crisis 2: Capitalist Russia boogaloo, its was the second boogaloo joke in this thread, am I really that unoriginal?
Honestly, i was on the first word when you deleted it and wanted to see what you said lol
Eastern Europe found out after 2014 caused a migration wave from the Ukraine, that exploiting foreigners for cheap labour is profitable :yea:, especially Poland. Which is why that country is so eager to overthrow Belarus for example
Let me be clear, #Ukraine is our ally. If there is war, we are ready to offer a refuge to their woman and children.
Certain kinds of refugee
:libertarian-approaching:
if I’m wrong I’ll fuckin enlist lol
So will I, but for whoever the US is fighting.
Kwame Ture (paraphrased from memory) from the Kwame Ture Speaks youtube video:
So when the US declared war on Baghdad, I called up Saddam and told him “I’m with you”
What’s funny is I’m like 95% sure that’s true, apparently Kwame Ture was a little like Noam Chomsky in that he’d correspond with anyone who honestly cared about the same stuff he did and reached out to him. But for Saddam, I imagine he’d send the call out lol
Telling the draft doctor I have a rare illness that makes me kill commanding officers
No no, how are you supposed to frag your officer and defect if you're rejected?
Yeah who has ever heard of an unpopular president starting a war shortly before reelection
Edit: but yeah agreed, if it happens, I'll see you at Pendleton
There’s not going to be a direct war between the US and Russia.
Just a proxy war between Ukraine and Belarus that happens to have US and Russian soldiers "advising in a kinetic capacity" on either end.
Yeah, infant really see it going beyond saber rattling. Not a great time for starting even an easy war for either of them right now let alone WW3
NATO has been encroaching via soft power for the last 2 decades. I wrote a paper in college in 2004 about how we were in a brief cooling period between relations with USA/Russia because both sides were using violent Islamism as a means to pursue geopolitical aims and both sides were willing to look the other way while they publicly were fighting a "mutual foe"
Seems all that shit's at an end.
It's wild to me they built up for a new cold war with China, tarriffs warfare, new red scare, new yellow peril, "human rights", wall to wall media consensus; and now this?
China is a stronger and more stable enemy for the yankkk government. Russia is a safe bet, and it builds upon a century of propaganda instead of 15 years
Russia was supposed to be defeated after the collapse of the USSR and subsequent neoliberal looting under Yeltsin. What pisses off people like Hillary Clinton and Joe Biden is seeing all of their "hard work" winning the Great Game go to waste as Russia reasserts itself as part of a multipolar world rather than just spiraling into a black hole.
I guess the using temperature to describe foreign relations is more ambiguous than I thought...
yeah I would've phrased it as "a brief period of detente" or even "brief detente
what my (trotskist) history teacher told me is that Paraguay was being able to develop itself into the first regional power in South America. England didn't like that and pushed their vassal states (Brazil especially) into war against them to halt their progress.
All the dipshits baited Paraguay, it wasn't an expansionist move, they made a move in the Uruguay civil war after Brazil had made a move.
And even if it was an expansionist move, it would have been great if they succeded, the Paraguay government wanted to industrialize the region, fucking Paraguay had the most industry at the time including their own fucking railways. But industries are a big no-no for the liberals ruling Argentina, Uruguay and Brazil, cuz that would made their masters (UK and France) upset.
They say the rebels in Iraq still fight for Saddam
But that's bullshit, I'll show you why it's totally wrong
'Cause if another country invaded the hood tonight
It'd be warfare through Harlem and Washington Heights
I wouldn't be fightin' for Bush or White America's dream
I'd be fightin' for my people's survival and self-esteem
I wouldn't fight for racist churches from the South, my removed
I'd be fightin' to keep the occupation out, my removed
You ever clock someone who talk shit or look at you wrong?
Imagine if they shot at you and was rapin' your momsthat said, :xi-plz:
Eh, the idea of a foreign, or at least extra-continental military invading the U.S. has been pretty much a libidinal fantasy since like the Gadsden Purchase. The U.S. is just too goddamn big and its population centers too disparate for a land invasion to have sticking power.
Hell even Lincoln recognized this:
"All the armies of Europe and Asia...could not by force take a drink from the Ohio River or make a track on the Blue Ridge in the trial of a thousand years. No, if destruction be our lot we must ourselves be its author and finisher. As a nation of free men we will live forever or die by suicide."

When Europe erupts in war, Poland tends to not have a good time...
To be fair Poland usually deserves it for whatever dumb shit they were doing prior to not having s good time
Because that's how you liquidate the poors before they start rioting.
Ukraine’s NSC Sec. Danilov tells @BBC_ua he doesn’t expect an imminent invasion and doesn’t share “the panic,” which he connects to “geopolitical and domestic” processes in the West: “The buildup of Russian troops [at the Ukrainian border] isn’t as rapid as some claim”

This basically confirms it's NATO that wants war, with the Ukrainian president just pandering to the fash
It's a balancing act between getting that NATO money and placating the Nazis with aggressive talk on one side, and preventing a massive exodus and further economic collapse on the other.
