Dude don't need to invade wack ass Europe. He just has to monopolize the oil and gas that comes to Europe.
As soon as we announced we were arming rebels, we should've arranged for an "incident" and used that as an excuse to deploy troops in Syria to oust Assad. Now Pac done signed with Death Row.
Good read from so many years agoArticle is from 5 months ago, but very relevant given the happenings today between Russia and Turkey/NATO (not saying that will lead to World War III, but it demonstrates the risks in the current geopolitical environment). Excellent analysis IMO

after the past week and definitely today I don't think it's a game
It's only possible to me because Putin doesn't seem at all stable. USA would not want to start a war with Putin under any circumstances, but who knows what could happen if he just starts wantonly invading NATO countries or even straight launches a nuke out of nowhere.
WTH would Putin take Syria? Assad is already his lackey there, do you really think Russia wants those kinda problems of trying to run that shyt himself against a rebelling populace?

I pray that if Putin did order a nuclear strike, that we'd have someone like Colonel Stanislav Petrov that would just disobey the order (Stanislav Petrov - Wikipedia)
It would be a funnier picture if they were actually next to each other. Obama is 6'2". Putin claims 5'7" but insiders say he's more like 5'4". Wears lifts in his shoes and still ends up looking like a hobbit when official state media isn't setting up the shot.
I thought about that, but what if he just orders a bunch of strikes? I They ain't all going to disobey, half the militant fukkheads are going to obey Dear Leader and push that button.

Yeah....yeah you're right

Precise and cold hearted
Putin testing the waters. Seeing how shyt can go. China chilling in the cut like the sleeping giant we once were. We may see world War 3 in our lifetime.
China will eat in a serious way after a wwiii fallout.

using a nuclear weapon and world war III aren't the same thing. because russia is so weak militarily and would have no allies who would want to even join in with them (you really think china is looking at russia and is thinking "we could take the west if we joined forces with russia"?) they are more likely to to try and use the nukes (if they work), but then they'll be wiped off the map. where is the world war in that scenario?
