The Political Thread

[Ricky Smarks]

but then again Smark, I'd have said gtfo of Ukraine or we're sending our tanks to Moscow.

You and me, both. Shit long overdue. It ain’t cold no mo.

The primary issue when it comes to these "promises" made with Russia is that:

1.) There was never any written treatise or agreement.
2.) That "agreement" became null and void the minute Russia began occupying territory in Georgia, because it was an agreement that NATO nor Russia would aggressively expand, and yet Russia flagrantly began conquering territory for itself.

So many war hawks itt.

Aww well, send the nukes.....we been going on too long as a species.

also an example of why you dont make deals with Russia

Russia was in a defensive pact with Ukraine lol

Russia broke their own agreement first? I’m shocked.

I prefer Neocon.

And nah, no one’s stupid enough to use nukes.

Of course he is, though. He clearly just want so reform the Soviet Union but as the Russian Federation.

He wants to make the Russian Federation into the Russian Empire.

I live somewhere that won't feel the nukes.

I will survive.

It would be quite the feat. Last Empire was the Ottomans that died out due to the First World War. Similar to when Russia had its revolution. Would be an ironic full circle.

Our drone army alone could end Russia’s troops. Send the whole fleet over there. Just warn Ukraine troops.

Not necessarily true as France and England still had colonies post-World War II, so technically they still counted as "Empires".

Technically, when you think about it, the UK is an Empire as well, since it's multi-national and consists of four states.

Sure worked on the terrorists....oh wait.

Terrorists are rooted in more than the Russian troops.

Also, we killed most of the terrorists we were after. You just can’t kill an ideology that easily. It changes shape.

Like Halloween.

I mean I guess it depends on you define things. You could easily make the case the US is an empire. We have territories everywhere and bases on every continent.

 

[Deezy]

US considers dramatic training expansion for Ukranian forces......why? Haven't won a war in almost a 100 years.
