so is this Ukraine thing gonna be the end to the nuclear armageddon edging we've been building up to for the last 80 years or what UPDATED RULES: Hello posting pals, As we all know, Russia invaded Ukraine in the last couple of days. As such, we, the moderators of GBS, want to lay down some ground rules for discussing this situation, in order to make sure that GBS remains itself and to ensure it doesn't turn into The Tankie Terror Tribunal. OFFICIAL THREAD: The official GBS thread can be found here: https://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3993948 This is not D&D: Normal GBS rules still apply. Some people may shitpost, some people may post interesting information, some may just be wondering what the hell is going on. These are all valid ways of posting. We're not going to be enforcing D&D style rules here. You can go over to that forum if you'd like that. Be respectful to your fellow poster: This is a fraught time for a lot of people. Some people may have relatives in the Ukraine, some may actually be in an active war zone. As such, emotions are running high. Please be mindful of other people's situations, because you may not know what they're feeling to relative to this war. No slapfighting: We want to point out this one rule specifically. Because emotions are running high, and because this is the internet, minor disagreements may turn into major blowouts. Just because someone disagrees with you doesn't mean that they're a tankie/being paid by Putin/has a membership at Mar-a-Lago. We'd ask that you take personal stock and see if you're getting way too invested in an online argument. If so, please step back for a bit. The thread will still be there when you cool down. Conversely, if someone does step back, cools down and comes back to the thread, do not renew the argument. You will get a probation for that. NWS images: This is a tough one, because this is probably the first major conflict that's taking place in the internet/TikTok/Instagram era. As such, there may be disturbing images that proliferate online. If you're going to post something like that, please consider the following: 1) Is this newsworthy? 2) Why am I posting this? 3) Does this advance the conversation in any way? 4) Has this been posted in the last few pages? Also, make sure you mark it and give a description of what's going on so people are aware (i.e. " shows a house being destroyed, possible blood). Make use of the report button: We mods can't police every thread. With what's going on in the world, along with our personal and professional lives, we can't sit in threads and every minute of every day to make sure it's on track. We count on the community to help us out in this. We do take every report into consideration, and we would encourage you to use it if you think rules are being violated. Also, please don't report people who disagree with you. That's just petty and dumb. These rules are subject to change, so please check back every so often. We want GBS to be a great community, even in the midst of all that's going on. Also, because I know this is going to come up someday, if there is a conflict with these rules or the main rules thread, the main rules thread supersedes all others. If you have any questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to reach out to us. E: my name is teen witch and I’m here to say, we added and adjusted some rules on this day (1st March) teen witch posted:greetings from the omnipresent mod and IK league of the gibbis combine CommieGIR posted:This thread is for providing relief for Ukraine and possible Charities you can donate to given that Putin has now declared war on Ukraine. KitEdit 4/11/2022: Seth Pecksniff posted:Hey folks, KitEdit 7/28/2022: Adding this since a video of Russian soldiers torturing a Ukrainian POW is currently making the rounds on twitter. Videos of torture/mutilation are not to be posted or linked in the thread at any time for any reason. If you do you will be taking a long posting break and maybe paying 10 dollars. This applies to any forthcoming torture videos on either side. News articles/government publications discussing same are OK but must have a content warning included in the post.

Seems half of Russia's troops are right on the border ready to invade. Just bomb the Russian front. War over. Russia's upset, but their soldiers are dead anyway.

Russia will probably invade part or all of Ukraine. The US and NATO will not intervene militarily. Crippling sanctions will hit Russia. Then it becomes a question of whether the sanctions make the occupation and Russian domestic unrest untenable and Russia withdraws or NATO blinks or fractures over maintaining sanctions and NATO is forced to accept the situation. Wildcard option: Ukraine kicks Russia’s rear end and Putin is deposed in a coup within a month. Not likely but stranger things have happened.
