Cao Ni Ma posted:None of the NATO nations would actually put boots on the ground on ukraine if russia attacked. Hell, even something like airspace would probably be an issue, it looked like Germany straight up said they couldn't use their airspace to transport weapons to ukraine. Idk how mad are the Poles at Russia for giving them their only non fascist government?

I'm not sure the blob ever wants actual warfare. They just want tensions to get clicks/views and to rally for more defense spending. If we actually started fighting who knows how many toys we've spent billions on don't actually work when they have to be properly used and not just shown off in carefully controlled tests. Easier to just build and build and hype tensions for more contracts, more strategy conferences, more think tanks, etc.

If they've been just as callous as everyone else about letting the poor die I'd plague go keep capitalism going I don't see why they wouldn't let a bunch of poor people freeze to death to score some Nationalist revenge points. They probably wouldn't, but if anyone was going to pull the trigger that's not the US, I'd bet on Poland 0

Feldegast42 posted:yeah attacking an old hated enemy is the oldest trick in the book when you are facing dissent at home Eh, I haven’t noticed that much active dissent for a while to be honest. Navalny and his movement have been wiped for nearly a year. This is entirely about NATO and where the “lines of control” are and yes, it does seem NATO is pretty divided at this point. (It has pretty stupid for Finland to speak up about membership all things considered.) The “blob” just wants to call Russia’s bluff and continue the Eastward push.

The whole Biden response is something. I don't know what order these were given, but these are two separate responses on it. https://twitter.com/RiegerReport/status/1483919997042929666?s=20 https://twitter.com/atrupar/status/1483917489079824387?s=20 "He's never seen sanctions like the one's I've promised...their banks will not be able to deal in dollars," and promising that the Ukrainians will fight hard against an invasion. "He's trying to find his place between China and the West...I'm not so sure [Putin] is certain what he is going to do. My guess is he will move in, he has to do something." It's very funny to compare the US saying a Russian march on Kyiv is imminent while Ukraine says the situation is unchanged https://twitter.com/ChristopherJM/status/1483876785758605314?s=20

I live in LA and a house near me sold for 600k over asking price of 1.5 million a month or two ago it was a 2000sqft normal house edit: I can find several dozen that fit that description just clicking through recently sold. this one is listed $1,499,000.

Malleum posted:if it happens at all, it's going to be georgia 2.0, where the vaunted Elite Super Special American-Trained forces fold like wet paper to the first russian advance, retreat to cities to get shelled and bombed for a few days, and then everyone goes home. all the sweaty nerds jacking off over afghanistan style quagmires and millions of zinc coffins are projecting. Yeah, though there is the outside chance that the Turkish drones they bought will clown all over the Russian forces. I don't think we have had any legit test if the Russian air defense is good against those and I suspect there are a lot of NATO goons who are ready to fight to the last Ukrainian to find that out. Lostconfused posted:There's like three sides at least to this Ukraine poo poo. If Russia does a Georgia in Ukraine Northstream 2 is probably dead. Which is great for US shale gas and might fluff some semblance of life back into NATO for a few years. I keep coming back to the fact that preserving US hegemony is pretty expensive for European capital. Dumb sanctions without the easier access to waivers that US companies get. All that Chinese money. The governments they can call permanently getting owned. The submarines. But in a real crisis they'd all have to salute and get in line.

The idea that Russia "has to do something" is totally unfounded. The geography of Donbas funnels attacks from the west into what would be a massive killzone for Russian artillery. All they have to do is wait for Kiev to make the first move. At this point they've already made NATO flinch by moving some military units around, which means they've won. Putin called our bluff.

As bad as things can get, there are many self-correcting mechanisms that eventually curb the worst of the excesses. Cold comfort for those who lose their lives literally or metaphorically I know but when was the last time China had such a soul-searching moment? The day the CCP comes out and acknowledges shitstorms like Tiananmen was a mistake and that those responsible, if still alive should be punished; the day they allow independent media to examine the mass persecution of Falun Gong and unearth those who are responsible and let Falun Gong victims sue the CCP for recompense, I'll be onbard with you. Until then, I see a giant canyon between CCP led China and Western nations, USA in all its gory injustices included.
