The entire Cold War...

Oh, wow. I didn’t know that we had the same technology and number of nukes during The Cold War. I was also unaware the the planet’s geopolitics never changed are also exactly the same as they were then.

oh shut up

People like you will be the first to go if nukes get launched though. You’ll be the first ones praying and calling on God.

Hilary didn't win. Trump did. You think it's coincidence that Putin pulled what he did in 2014 and then he just magically gets a pro russia president from 16 to 20 . That shyt just magically happened out of per happenstance huh . I could have sworn there was all this evidence of Russia trying to influence that election cycle. It's almost like Putin waited until 2014 to do what he did, cause he knew there was a pro Russia candidate to be president, and THEN he put a lot of effort into getting said pro russia candidate elected, and then wouldn't you know it, the pro russia candidate won . Crazy how it all just perfectly worked out that way for him that way

Then why didn’t he invade Ukraine when trump was president?

these countries that don’t have the military to hang with the big dogs just need to be on their guerilla war/afghanistan shyt.

Stop wasting money on Korean War era jets and those rinky-dink tanks I keep seeing . Just build tunnels on some Vietnam shyt and do that hit and run shyt.

The tactics utilized against us in falljuah were extremely effective. Take a page outta that book. Might as well, they're gonna shell the buildings regardless, make em earn every inch

Seems very planned out so far to me

It's planned tactically but not strategically. What is Russia actually gaining by invading all of Ukraine vs. what it stands to lose with sanctions? Russia is not a fundamentally well-running country. Its economy is ppoorly diversified, it's people have bad living standards and aren't having children at population replacement rates, and you're spending (young) blood and treasure to invade and possibly occupy a full country? When you probably could have just annexed a portion with way less trouble?

This reeks of miscalculation.

You said to name another time when the world faced global scale annihilation. I named one. Now comes the pivot.

The media is going nuts

How did The Ukraine react?

oh believe this is needed

Controlling public opinion is major in war

The picture needs to be painted first before we judge

 

[YaThreadTrashB!]

Because ultimately that wasn't going to stop Putin and only hurts the optics/PR with Russian sympathizers. They nixed the gas pipeline from Russia as a warning shot, but Putin painted himself into a corner with all the chest thumping he's done. An upfront slap of full sanctions could be perceived as an escalation by the US, but Putin has gotten outmaneuvered here severely. Russia looks like dikkheads to the entire world paying any attention because they are behaving like dikkheads. They pulled the 1940s playbook out in 2022 and thought the US & NATO would backdown when they heard the book hit the table. But they didn't.

That's actually what makes me most nervous about all this...it's clear Russia doesn't have actually have a plan now. It's all reaction. And their head honcho Putin is on some heavy macho shyt, potentially has a terminal illness, and is emotional.

But he does have a plan. He has been preparing this since after the crimea sanctions. They aren’t dependent on the Us like they used to be

 

[Rev Leon Lonnie Love]

Are regular Ukrainians able to make a run for it and flee to neighboring countries? Or is it too late?

 

[Insensitive]

History in the making.

Now you know this shyt is just a training video

There's going to be alot of fake news from here on out. Folks posting videos from years ago confusing people. Alot of these political pundits and news organizations don't give a fukk about the truth. They just want to be first and get their numbers up.

What is Putin gaining? You're talking about how they plan to absorb negative consequences - what do they gain?
