Oh this is exactly what is happening. Inflation is running rampant, gas prices are surging like crazy and only going to get worse when Russia gets hit with sanctions, the cost of food is getting to be insane, going to get even worse since we import nearly a billion dollars worth of fertilizer from Russia. The markets have been crazy for a few months now but we are about to see interest rates increased in the next few weeks. They fucked with the job's numbers for December and last month and it did nothing for Biden's polling. They know it is going to get really bad and they are trying to do the ultimate spin job and it is going to fail miserably.
Don't even have to wait for the sanctions, didn't Russia cut us off from fertilizer this week? I know it's new to all of us, but other countries can economically fuck with us too, especially when they're as big as Russia/China/etc.

Why aren't Russia the good guys here? If all they do is have regions that are pro Russian be recognized as independent nations what's the problem here?
Imagine that in parts of southern US that are 90% spic immigrants, Mexico moves in mercenaries posing as locals, and they declare indepence (And assuming USA does not have military capability to stop it outright, obviously). would that be ok?

That happened already. That's why Biden doesn't do anything about the border.
 
Putin doesn't care about just having ethnic Russians or just Slavs, he will take anyone with a connection to Russia at this point. Russia is going to end up just like the US, with a Slavic minority ruled by an Asian majority. Russian media is already pushing the "Russia as a multi-ethnic state" talking point.
Russia has been talking about this for many, many years. As has China. The difference between Russia and China's multiethnic policy and the West's multiculturalism is that in the end your minority group has to conform with the Muscovite or Han way. Though Russian regions in the wastes don't really have to bother and have a large amount of autonomy because who cares about them. It is also a multiethnic status that has existed for centuries due to conquest of Siberia, Central Asia and the Caucuses for the Russians and various Barbarians states and other, smaller Asian nations for China. There is nothing really like that for the West except maybe natives in countries like Australia and the US, who are entirely ignored due to their tiny sizes.

Western multiculturalism is a delusional theory that all cultures and groups from across the globe can co-exist in one nation-state and retain the values of their origin.

No wonder Elon Musk acts like your weird anime loving cousin from the 90s, even if libs and kikes fucking hate him, they keep making his companies worth more and more. An Energy crisis and a gas crisis, its like they want him to be the first trillionaire, Next they'll require all rocket company ceos to be fluent in Afrikaans.

Remember a decade ago when gas finally took a nosedive and all the Tesla shorters said the cars are only a good option when gas is over $3/gal, well we're about to see $4 by St.Patricks, and $5 before Memeoriole's Day. Musk betting jack up the price for his fucking cars. Because we're close to the point where the monthly car payment will be roughly the same as one fucking fill up.
 
Genuine question for the pundits out there.

If shit goes south, and a conflict really breaks, does that help Biden and the dems politically, as in in a extreme time of war the voters will help the president party to retain the houses so a more concise effort will be made towards the conflict?

Or will this potential war only worse Biden's approval for a perceived missguided interference and the subsequent rise in gas prices that it will come?

In short, will this save Biden's presidency and the Dems control, or will it doom it? Or it will be a nothing burger?
To give a bit more of a formal response.

This is going to hurt them. A lot. Regardless of what the outcome is at this point.

A war doesn't automatically unite the people. Two factors need to be in place, if one is missing it will be a net negative and god help you if both are.

1: The people need to believe in the strength of their leader.
2: People need to believe the war is justified and morally righteous.

Neither applies to Ukraine.

There's a major third.

People need to believe in the competence and skill of the military leadership.

That ain't there either.

They've lost the whole trifecta.

All checks out. Not to mention the prospect of record-breaking gas prices already implanted in peoples' heads, which is gonna be exacerbated by Ukraine. Nobody sane is going to want to fight a war when the economy at home is in the absolute shitter in this information age.
 
I don't remmber the Ukraine drama being Six mouths long. Does anyone else? I really hope normie don't fall for it.
I believe their foresight is some of the most genius political thinking ever and is the only reason the US hasn't descended even further politically. They were just men and knew the new government was imperfect but they did a damn good job all things considered.
Extremely grateful and their work cannot be understated.

That said they'd all wretch at the modern government but it's not near as bad as it could be... yet.
See you nailed it. They knew they weren't perfect unlike Lefties who believe everything must be perfect.
Seriously this logic is very flaw. Just point to the fact that under Trump Putin didn't do any of this shit even when democrats said it would totally happen under Trump. Really at this point lefties are just coping.
I really hope normies don't fall for this.

It's what we did with Texas and it's what's currently happening in Southern California.
dunno, did US govt sent mercs to mexico to declare independence from Mexico? not a history pro so genuine question
When Texas was apart of Mexico yes, granted the difference could be argued on settlers vs mercs but there really isn't that big a difference between the two categories because they lead to the same thing. When enough people move to a new place that new place becomes the old place that group of people came from.

Na. We sent in colonists (who wound up taking Mexican citizenship as opposed to American citizenship, actually) who got pissed when Mexico tried to take their guns and leave them at the mercy of the natives. See, Mexico feared an armed uprising since the federal government was on a big power grab and they figured they'd just snatch everything just to be sure. You know, like that asshole Governor of Boston the King appointed. Wound up working out just as well for them, since half the country wound up in armed rebellion. The Yucatan wound up seceding in the aftermath, too.

When we sent in people actually working for Uncle Sam that was the Mexican-American War and it ended just a bit more decisively than whatever the fuck's going on in Ukraine.

Jesus christ you're a sped. Ethnic Russians have been the majority in the Donbas for at least 100 years. The mercs moving in were Russian mercs/soldiers sent to prop up the rebel governments before they were crushed by Kiev. This is nothing like Texas/California in the 19th Century
