Unless they plan to drop some bombs over our heads I don’t see how WW3 with the US involved would result in better accomodations for the ruzzians.

I’m a lazy gunless asshole typing away from my couch. But if some grade a asshole from ruzzia came to bother me, I probably could easily run downstairs and grab any one of many power tools capable of removing ruzzians body parts.

I believe the Ukrainian defense is going to kick ruzzians ass pretty good. Hopefully soon we’ll see putin coming out of a smokey hole in the ground on a grainy YouTube video. putin is the real reason for the war. Removing him might bring up a few more people like him, but those can be removed since the public won’t be behind them.

    “We are now confirming once again that playing with fire—and they are like small children playing with matches—is a very dangerous thing for grown-up uncles and aunts who are entrusted with nuclear weapons in one or another Western country.”

    So countries with nuclear capabilities should be more responsible and perhaps not invade their neighboring countries? 🤔

    Well, a direct invasion of the US is a bad option and the world knows this.

    The problem is with Russia is state controlled media. If Putin was eliminated, the world probably wouldn’t know for at least a week and that would give their media enough time to tell the public who else they should like instead. It wouldn’t surprise me if there is a pre-recorded video of Putin “stepping down” or “retiring”.

    If you have ever watched Russian state media, you will see they are probably worse than the Ministry of Truth. Their panel discussions are disgusting, actually. Four or five different people, with four or five different “views” that all converge on the same exact points: West evil, Putin god, Russia war machine invinsible, Russians have the best society on earth, everyone else is a nazi.

    (I don’t want to exclude the rest of the worlds media either. Most major outlets have their own agendas for sure, but Russians probably get the most blatant version. They don’t even hide it.)

      Russia state media sounds exactly like China’s state media lol

      My grands really loves this show on China central television called Cross-Strait (海峽兩岸) that they will invite “unbiased” Taiwan experts how bad the current Taiwan Government is, how bad US is, how China has better military power to Taiwan, and how close the reunion is getting

    The Russian economy is very soon going to completely collapse. They have nothing to prevent this. All indicators are pointing to this. Massive inflation, Ruble and Trade isolation on the world market. No one wants anything to do with them and they are pretty much broke. Soon. I just saw a video of a captured Russian Veteran soldier talking about all of the contraband AK guns being wrapped up in the body bags to be sent back. It’s all about making money on the black market, so the reversion to Soviet times is becoming real again. The crime wave after the war is going to be bad. On top of internal social degradation, they will be isolated and will prey upon themselves to survive and exploit the carcass of what is left for the remaining future. I believe that, as a foreign power, they are done.

    Given how completely dogshit the rest of ruzzian military is, I wouldn’t be surprised if their arsenal of nuclear weapons was shit too. I can confidently bet that before a single nuke was fired from them, they would be completely obliterated.

    It’s just the usual shit talking, small dick energy saber rattling. Russia likes mind games, they wouldn’t engage in disinformation campaigns otherwise.

    The only gun problem we have in the US is not enough of them.

    An armed society is a polite society.

        The secret is to not let the state have a monopoly on violence. We can’t recognize a problem with the police AND let them be the only ones with the means to enact change…
