Ah, the duality of bugmen.

The schadenfreude I will feel about the financial ruin that is about to rain down on these dumbfucks will be of at least some solace as I watch all my money evaporate alongside theirs in the coming months.

Jokes on the bank it's their money anyway, I just have to outlast them and I'm golden....

 

[L50LasPak]

Rules.. Rules for a thread.
This is how it starts.
Next I won't even be allowed to fat shame.

Don't worry, I hate fat people too.

I'll be doubly laughing as my porfolio jumps while unbacked kike-coin dies.

Filled up my car yesterday. Don't recommend it. It's cool how this war will be used to push the great reset though, because soon nobody will be able to afford to run their own petrol vehicle anymore and will be forced to rent an electric, just you wait

The Russian Army has a disproportionate number of Central Asian Moslems whose legal status is unclear. Perhaps blackmail, perhaps earning their papers. Anyhow Russia has always had a notable Moslem majority, particularly Tatars, but obviously Chechens and others of that Caucasus region. White Russians emigrate and Moslem migrants replace them. RT throws shade on France at times over rioting or criminal Maghbrebi, but Russia has a bigger Moslem majority. If the Patriarch became a Moslem, he wouldn't need 50 hats, and if Iran is any guide, he could live in degenerate luxury.

The difference is the Eurasian Muslims and Christians have been living side-by-side for centuries, if not nearly a thousand years at this point. It isn't a case of some wildly foreign population suddenly injected into an otherwise homogenous group.

If Russian commanders were taking greater risks, we'd see something happening on the battlefield, either them pushing deeper into Ukraine or a large amount of dead Russian soldiers.

I always thought the old Warsaw Pact way was to treat military initiative as a crime. The late WW2 dash appears to be in the past. Ukie use of militias appears to be of some help - Russians have them, but rely far less on them. It has been claimed the Russkies lack adequate secure comms, but the armies so many non US countries have that issue.

be forced to rent an electric

Implying anyone can afford electricity anymore. We're heading for the elite few having cars while the plebs have to get on public transport (needing a pass that gets taken away for wrong think of course).

People forget that Russia's military could be made up of, in it's entirety, 20 bisexual Orangutans that spend all day sniffing paint and jerking each other off and Putin still would be able to end the world on a whim via nuclear war.

Just because Russia's invasion isn't 20,000 Doom Guys rocket jumping around and hitting 360 noscopes while in a full sprint towards Kyiv dosent mean it's a good idea to escalate war with Russia.

My bad. That's my fault for being so relentlessly optimistic

On the contrary, this would justify the war in its entirety.

If Vlad decides enough is enough and gets Zelensky to agree to the Cede Donbass/Luhansk/No NATO deal, Ukraine will probably plunge into civil war in the coming years, with all the undisciplined gun owners walking around. UN peacekeepers could actually be useful for once if Vlad allowed it.

Zelensky's antics may drive more and more people into Russia's arms in the long run.
Should the Kike of Kiev finally get the mayhem he's been seeding, people will look for stability and protection elsewhere.
And neither Kiev, nor NATO have shown themselves willing or capable of providing that.

That’s because the urban bugman uses subsidized transit to get around so they don’t pay for gas for transportation. No city in the world will raise their fares because the price of diesel went up. However, they notice when their hipster restaurants start charging more. They will be really mad when their Doordash fees go up, but they’ll blame ”greedy capitalists” instead of themselves and their dumbass leaders.

Forever, they will claim Ukraine didn't want Crimea, Donetsk or Luhansk anyway and getting rid of them was a huge victory.

Honestly if I was Ukraine I'd be surrendering and giving up those regions. They've been de facto controlled by Russia anyway and we don't need this shit in Kyiv or Odessa.

Quinnipiac poll asking Americans about whether or not they'd stay and fight or flee the country if the US got invaded like Ukraine. Unsurprisingly, niggers are literally the most likely to leave and the least likely to stay and fight. Almost makes an invasion worthwhile.

I was watching the video of Tucker that was shared early and he showed a clip from a UFC fighter from Kentucky sharing his opinion on the current situation and i think most people (and i don't consider people who use twitter people) would agree with what he said

Even if he himself admits he doesn't have a full picture of what the fuck is going on he is still very well aware of the fact that his government is not caring to explain anything about the situation yet wants him to care about and even go fight a war on the other side of the world for a country that's not even considered part of the EU.
And if a Kentucky redneck can point at the geopolitical elephant in the room then the twitter "people" have no excuse.

Too bad America isn't a country worth fighting for. Note that scrotum driller here says he'll stay in Arkansas and fight, which implies state loyalty over Fed loyalty. So what I'm wondering is if White Republicans really mean fighting for their homes and immediate communities, but not much further than that.

I miss the old thread. I don't like cancer*

Okay seriously. How does autocorrect replace "change" with "cancer"

Obama's slogan was Hope and Cancer.

I have always wondered how something like this would play out in the West. In usury and debt-based economies Imagine if China invaded and said all your credit cards, loans, student loans, medical bills, mortgages, etc.. were all going to be wiped. People would probably join the invading force instantly. In prior wars things weren't like this, and the 'financialization' of the economy and the economic slavery the average peasant suffers in the West today creates an instability an enemy could easily exploit.

Huh, didn't think about it that way. Someone else posted that the Dems already did that with BLM and Bernie voters... except they never followed through to cynically use them again as stormtroopers in the next election.

What about Chechnya, and the bit Russia nibbled off of Georgia? Insurgencies have a better chance of success when your occupier is half a world away and labors under the delusion that it can transform your entire society simply by propping up a tiny urban elite and shooting enough "bad guys".

The Russians officially state 5,500 military deaths in the First Chechen Insurgency. And Chechnya wasn't like the US invasion of Iraq. It would've been more like the US invasion of Arizona. It's literally part of Russia. They had highways and railroads leading into the region and still suffered those casualties.

US lost around 4500 in Iraq, half a world away, over a much longer timeframe.

Ofc the US used the Iraqi Army as cannon fodder and many more died. But the Russians suffered casualties amongst allied militias in Chechnya too.

I sure as shit wouldn't be fighting my way to DC to liberate Nancy Pelosi or Mitch McConnell.

Fan art is getting rapey.

Spoiler: Really rapey.

Clearly, the real answer to the problem is just to invite Russia to join NATO.

People have been prophesizing the decline of the so-called "American Empire" (for they always confuse hegemony with "empire") for literal generations now. And yet America still endures, sometimes weaker, other times stronger. American cultural (especially in regards to popular, internet, and "meme" culture), linguistic, economic, scientific, military, and even intellectual influence, for better or worse, is still extremely high (although not as high as it's ever been). America, no matter what, will always remain, at minimum, a great power.

There is the outward appearance of strength, but on the inside there is considerable rot. Much of America's "power" these days is imported from the outside. The country imports people in the same way it imports goods. And for many of the same reasons. Because it cannot produce what it needs in terms of humans or skills internally.

- The "scientific" power of the United States is mostly imported from elsewhere and bought on the open market.
- American popular culture is very often these days shaped by Chinese needs and Chinese censorship. This is especially true in films. But more broadly. John Cena had to humiliate himself for daring to offend the Chinese because if he did not, he would no longer have a career.
- The US military is not what it was. Its been in decline for years. Afghanistan was a show of part of the rot. But it goes beyond that. We have made a firm decision as a country that the marine corps and the marine soldier is something we no longer want as a country. (see the marine corps reorganization in progress). Then there is the rise of General Milley who was in a crisis more loyal to his Chinese friends than this own country.
- The American higher education system has switched its focus from educating Americans to educating foreigners. They have done this because foreigners come better educated and pay way more money than American students.
- America's intellectual influence exists I guess. But not in a good or useful way. What we export today is bad ideas and intellectually bankrupt concepts. Our influence is partially sustained only because the rest of the world is equally intellectually bankrupt.
- America's economic power has a big problem in that it now inevitably serves the needs of the "empire" outside the United States rather than the interests of itself. The economics of the United States are just one part of the economics of the "dollar zone". The rise of China is also year by year eroding US control and influence of international economic institutions.

America will remain a "great power". But the rot on the inside (moral, intellectual and spiritual) is gradually eroding it away into nothing. Its facing the historic problem of all empires. That the power needed to maintain the empire comes at the expense of the nation. That the needs of the empire come before the needs of the nation. The elite in America views the the United States today - not as a country - but as something like a multi-level marketing scheme. Rather than being a country, they say that America is an "idea". That rather than America having borders, its borders are the borders of "freedom" in the world. They fret among themselves that unworthy Americans can get citizenship through birth when there are so many good people in other places who want to be Americans bring more value to the table.
