No seriously what the gently caress is happening :psyduck:
For those who remember, is this how the USSR fall felt?

This is how the armed coup and bombing the parliament felt. But that ended faster.

Trying to imagine a U.S. army mutiny driving towards Washington with the stated goal of overthrowing the Pentagon and going 12 hours with only a couple helicopters poking at it one or two at a time.

The full version would be:

- US suddenly decided to invade Mexico.
- Mexico holds it own, turns out US army only has 1/10th working tanks and air.
- US out of soldiers and prisoners, hires Blackwater to go in.
- Blackwater goes in, gets owned by Mexico
- Blackwater requests more ammo and supplies.
- Biden goes 'lol no'
- US Generals finger point Blackwater CEO as reason why Mexico not conquered yet.
- CEO goes 'gently caress it, 180 lads, we're heading to the White House'.
- Biden shits pants. US Generals poo poo pants and ask CEO to play fair on Twitter

Threats to the existence of the sate and nuclear deterrent are the two scenarios where russia always said they'll do a nuclear first strike.

The longer this plays out not only are Russian logistics going to be more turbo hosed, troops will get pulled from Ukraine and Russian command will be in complete disarray. So just root for maximum chaos

I'm not cheering for anyone. War is terrible and nothing to cheer at, even if it's Russians fighting Russians.

But I am watching with fascination as our Eastern neighbours start a civil war on Midsummer and hoping that out of this comes Russia's withdrawal from Ukraine and the end of that illegal war as well.
