War in Ukraine

Just some context..the US does not abide either.

Convention on Cluster Munitions – UNODA

“Hive mind” that’s a damn good description of most of the world right now. I think the Hive Mind greatly underestimated the potential cost of escalating hostilities with Russia.

What a load of ...Russia savagely invaded their small poor neighbor just because they didn't want to be under the Russian thumb.

I don't understand you people.

 

[NorthDallas40]

Very true and it would not be an Article 5 situation since Poland entered the war as a co-belligerent and was not attacked.

And I’m gonna guess that little nit picking point will be ignored and NATO will gleefully wade in. THAT is why this is bad.

Chances of having attended January 6th insurrection and riot? Probably 80%.

I suspect this all started with him responding to one of those ads for dating a Russian chick.

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

Couple of years ago all you Trump followers were advocating the disbanding of NATO and now it is a bad idea. Are you ever consistent?


It was a bad idea then and it's a bad idea now.

I thought it was a bad idea and I am a conservative. I did want to force them to actually carry a bigger part of the load and cost...what the hell is wrong with that?

SIAP. That was fast.

This could cause major problems.

Indeed

Well, after reading this interview with Fiona Hill, we should all be worried. He will most likely go full retard. There’s a damn good chance we see nuclear strikes from this.
‘Yes, He Would’: Fiona Hill on Putin and Nukes

This is one of the most sobering articles I've read in my (fairly long) life. I urge everyone here to read this. It gives me the same feeling in the pit of my stomach I experienced as a teenager in October 1962.

 

[KB5252]

So how soon will Zelenskyy have to decide when to order the Ukrainian units in the east to start a fighting withdrawal and cede territory to keep them in the fight? They can not allow them to be cut off and destroyed in the east.

But if they go into the open they are ideal targets for Russian fighter/bombers no?

No easy choices.

Wrong war dude. Read the email chain again. We were talking about WW1/Austria-Hungary. Again, people don't read.

Umm you brought up the Nazis predicting the Great Depression and I answered your Austrian Empire question, are you feeling ok?

They are being continuously supplied and the un has activated 40,000 troops. Get it? This is why we have the un.

 

[Hunerwadel]

Truth...

Well, look who surfaced from under Vlad's sheets for some air. It must be getting a little ripe under there.

You are smoking crack if you think those 40k troops are going to see combat

Remember how the gun nuts had the hots for her? Fun times.

They will not have to, but are available if necessary.

No doubt, I bet the Cameroon military is striking fear in Putin

 

[landscapingvol]

You hate to see it

 

[Rasputin_Vol]

I think @AM64 meant the historical Rasputin in this case.

As for our Rasputin, he's been passionately pleading his case and enjoying the fruits of disagreeing with the hive mind.

That is an interesting take. I find myself on the opposite side of a lot of positions. That isn't by design, however. I just realize that we are being herded to see the world through a common narrative.

 

[IluvdoubleD's]

everyone he is surrounded by does not want him there. He is on his own. I suspect if push came to shove one of his own would end it. We are not the aggressor.
