The autistic armchair Colonel takes gotta stop. 90% of posters in this thread sound straight up retarded and are showing just how little they know about the world. What we're seeing is one of the most complex events of the 21st century. We can compare to other wars fought in the last few decades, and even to Crimea, but it makes no sense. Information travels with renewed rapidity each year, and the technologies available to governments and intelligence agencies grow ever more capable. This is the first time we've seen a fully developed nation go and attack another one this century; each one has equal capability to manipulate the information that is released.
The armchair geopolitical experts are so fucking annoying. Your shitty extrapolations about how this will affect other countries are wrong and you're operating off of information you didn't even bother to verify or research. I keep seeing so many shit takes that would be refuted by the most basic understanding of a given country's politics.
Why can't you faggots discuss something reasonable about the facts at hand? Why do you gotta make shit up on the spot?
