Russia-Ukraine war and related tensions Megathread

[Okay, maybe Mike Johnson is a competent parliamentarian.]

This is horrifying, I'm so scared. We must now all support the Ukrainian Army and people in their fight for freedom.

Spare us the pearl clutching. Why are you scared? You're not in Ukraine. This war will not touch the USA. Gas prices will go up a bit, that's all. You're really that upset that the grand American ploy to surround and contain Russia has failed?

Again, it's amazing that on a forum that is so politically aware, the vast majority drink the Kool-Aid and accept the Western "freedom and democracy" propaganda as the inalienable truth.

Go to hell, bootlicker.

You are a bad person and will go to hell.

And if Putin wants to go back to the Soviet Union days so badly, let's remind him what happened when they invaded Afghanistan in 1979. We shouldn't be putting boots on the ground, but do everything we can to make his life and the lives of his cronies as hard as possible.

Explosions in Borisopol, which is where the airport for Kiev is. Some transport planes from Turkey just landed there earlier, probably () for evacuating turkish diplomats or something?

And a ton of Ukrainians will die. Not that you care about them.

But God forbid you have to spend $55 to fill up the tank instead of $50.

Do you have any sense of empathy?

Holy sh**t, delete your account. You provide absolutely no value whatsoever to this forum. Honest to god you are so annoying, especially at a time like this.

Gunfire reported at Borispol airport (?paratrooper/spetsnaz attack???). If Turkey is trying to evacuate diplomats from there, that would be bad.

Well, American intel was 100% on the money.  4 AM exactly.

Explosions reported in Vinnytsia, that is also in western Ukraine not too far from Poland, further making it clear this is not geographically limited at all.

That's his purpose. Promote whatever the CCP orders him to promote while demoralizing westerners as much as possible. It's important to keep him around because he's a direct window into Beijing.

[Ferguson97]

Not directly. But it is possible that we are living in a period that future history books will cover under a chapter called "Road to World War 3".

Then again, you could say that the “Road to WWIII” started in the early 2000s, the way the road to WW2 started with the March on Rome. The question is if this is 1924 or 1938.

If we’re gonna go that far might as well call 9/11 the catalyst.

Germany 1939: Defending itself by invading Poland.

Russia 2022: Defending itself by invading Ukraine.

How do you manage to have the most braindead and least empathetic viewpoint on every single political issue?

Russia has no allies other than Belarus. China and Russia are friendly, but they are not allies. At the worst it would be a regional European war.

Kazakhstan isn't an ally?

What the actual f**k is wrong with you?

[It’s so Joever]

How will China respond?

[Thunder98 🇮🇱 🤝 🇵🇸]

I really hope Аndriу is doing okay. I'm very concerned about his safety.

That’s probably what people will be saying 2122.

How will China respond?

They've been tepid in their response so far.
