War in Ukraine

NOONE IS GOING TO ATTACK RUSSIA.

Sit back and wait for the inevitable.

 

[OrangeTsar]

Certainly India too.

Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, India, Australia

Those are the big 5 that need to come together over there and present a unified Political, Economic, & Military front to the Chinese.

But Japan is the true Pacific Tiger - they need to lead.

Australia is a slave colony. I want nothing to ever do with those folks. They are basically an English speaking subsidiary of Beijing already

Sit back and wait for the inevitable.

That statement is functionaly obvious and therefore meaningless

Putin is not going to survive. Stop the insanity now. Surrender with the condition that after putin you can have your entire country back, including Crimea. how hard is this?

Of course he will, no one is going to seriously punish Russia because they are afraid of nuclear war. The sanctions aren't nearly as damaging as some want to think. It is primarily just window dressing

George W. Bush mocks Putin for 'deciding to be with a gymnast 30 years younger' and jokes about meeting his enormous dog - and suggests US could create 'an alliance of convenience' with China against Russia

Former President George W. Bush recalled some of his memorable interactions with Russian President Vladimir Putin, while discussing how the Russian president miscalculated the invasion of Ukraine at an event Tuesday night in Chicago.

'I introduced Vladimir Putin to Barney, our Scottish terrier, and [Putin] dissed him. A year later, Laura and I go visit Vladimir and his wife - this was before he decided to be with a gymnast 30 years younger - and he says, "I want you to meet my dog,"' Bush recalled, according to Politico.

I don’t dislike W as much as it is that I dislike some of his decisions that are still with us, but I remember him standing there with Putin at some press conference, post 9/11 and him looking right at Putin and saying, “Thank you, friend!” My how times have changed.

I care not what Australia does to its own citizens within its own borders. That’s their problem.

I only care that Australia ensures its 8 Virginia class subs are operational, deployed, and communicating with allies in the Pacific.

Any country that brutalizes its own citizenry is not a dependable ally. IMO

If Ukraine surrenders at this point, Putin will very much survive. And that pipe dream of conceding Crimea back to Ukraine would have to go through Putin and that ain’t happening.

Is Russian oil bought with the ruble or USD?

are you asking who pays for the gas that flows through the nord stream? Nobody right now. Letters of credit are being issued because banks wont process payments to pay for the oil. So right now, Russia isn't making jack sh*t from EU domiciled banks.

Look, I'm all for cutting off Russia completely - just don't conflate the drip of money they're (theoretically supposed to be making) off of Nord Stream as a way to make up for the rest of the tidal wave of sanctions in the other direction.

So when did Australia acquire nuclear powered subs from the US? They just recently broke an agreement with France for several diesel powered subs. Seems to me you're blowing smoke.

Unfortunately that is the truth but it shouldn't be that way, Germany, Poland, France, England, and Italy have more than enough firepower to stop the slaughter but they won't. They will sit back and release powerless proclamations how it is a disgrace to freedom for all people then proceed to ignore it. It's a shame the US is the only nation in the World willing to step up to the plate but we can't. It would lead to WW3 and nobody wants that so at this point the World will watch and do nothing.

It's the only reason at this point to possess nuclear weapons. MAD.

A nuclear holocaust could still occur, but it would be because of an accident/misunderstanding. If a nuclear war was ever intentionally initiated, it would be in response to a false signal that the other side had launched.

You know who the first world leader to call Bush after 9/11 was? Putin.

Not exactly who you'd expect at the time, and absolutely not in hindsight.

India is not trust worthy and, per my rankings, the WORSE performing nation militarily in history.

India has practically been conquered by anyone that invaded them and to my knowledge never had a successful war outside of their own subcontinent.

They got conquered by a British Company (yes Company, not the full British Nation).

To be fair, often those powers weren’t conquering “India,” they were conquering some group of people from the Indian sub continent with the help of another group of people from the Indian sub continent.

Looks like Putin is taking a page out of Lil Rocket Man's playbook and using them as an offensive tool. If your opponent thinks you are not worried about MAD, then them having them for deterrence is a worthless gambit.

@IluvdoubleD's heres your chance

I'm going to collect.

 

[IluvdoubleD's]

Meet with Ukraines President (is he still in Ukraine or at UN?) I haven't been keeping up, but meet with him and offer a CONDITIONAL SURRENDER. We will give it all back to you after Putin. Make sure you evac that guy first.

A Nuclear Submarine is not necessarily a Submarine with Nuclear Weapons aboard it, it is actually a term for Nuclear-Powered Submarines.

NOONE IS GOING TO ATTACK RUSSIA.

Regardless of the pretense, virtually every war is economic; keeping your shite or trying to take someone else's.
Russia is already under attack.

He said nuclear powered.

 

[IluvdoubleD's]

Don't get it twisted, Russia has been attacking us since he installed himself.

 

[Dirty Vol]

We're our biggest problem.

Sure we are.In terms of ??? Humanity in general or from a political stand point and our politicians or other??

But China is absolutely enemy #1. Their number one goal is to surpass and over take the US in essentially every key category. Military and economy being at the top.

Communism socialism and authoritarianism have no place in the world

Meh, we all know politicians are all about image, and do whatever helps their image at that particular time. Future and past actions/opinions be darned.
