Terry Green3 said:So, what’s our "braggart neighbor" actually doing to prep for the vote on kicking Russia out of the UN Security Council?
Terry Green3 said:Only one small thing. We in Europe, North America, and Russia aren't the entire world. Those three sides would be completely wiped out.
But Africa, South America, and most of Asia would survive.
The whole world doesn't revolve around us Westerners. The Fallout would be horrific, but groups of people in remote areas would make it through.
Maybe it's finally time, after WWI and WWII, for us to just finish the job and destroy ourselves once and for all, giving the rest of the world a chance to breathe outside the grip of the Indo-European warrior culture.
wearycanyon29 said:The West’s predictions about not using nukes actually make some sense if you think about it. But the other side? They aren't playing by our rules; they're following a different kind of logic entirely. Honestly, sending troops into Ukraine would have been a total non-starter anyway. Everyone saw that coming.
How much can anyone really think about their country's future when their own life is on the line? Especially when they've got a button that decides whether everything survives or goes up in smoke.
rowdytiger13 said:Everyone was surprised except for the Americans. They pretty much called the invasion before it even started. Actually, they didn't just guess; they knew. They went public with the fact that they’d been warning Ukrainians to gear up for an attack for a year, but people only started listening once the maniac began massing troops. It's a good thing they did, otherwise Kyiv would have fallen. When the US starts warning that Russia might use nuclear weapons, you should probably pay attention.
Leaks are happening all over The Kremlin.
wearycanyon29 said:Fair enough, wearycanyon29. If you're really convinced America has everything under control.
But let's be real—they aren't perfect. They botched their last two major interventions and basically left some of their allies out to dry.
If they made a mistake like that here, it could be fatal for a lot of people in Europe.
I don't fully trust them, mostly because they're so far away, and honestly, isn't it just human nature to look out for yourself first?

wearycanyon29 said:People are dying in droves over there. If the lives—or maybe even the freedom—of the main players are on the line, they'll definitely take the risk and go nuclear. At that point, who cares how China reacts? Blah blah blah...
They saw what happened to Gaddafi...
jadetinker85 said:Now they’re out in the streets demanding parts of Ukraine be annexed. 🤷 At this rate, they might start asking for chunks of the Moon or specific plots of the Milky Way. I wonder which country would even bother giving them a permit for their luggage there.
electricstag9 said:Flags featuring portraits of Chechen leaders are being waved right in the middle of Moscow ☕—it’s nothing more than a staged performance where the regime shuttles buses full of people in just to manufacture support for the government. This is exactly what Putin has been doing for years, using the same old playbook that Maddox used back in the 90s in Mexico.
