Russian Invasion of Ukraine Megathread

[Vesperus]

Its being widely reported that the Saudis refuse to even take calls from Biden. So the Biden Administration is now supposedly planning on an uninvited trip by Biden to Saudi Arabia to personally BEG the saudis to help them. Kind of similar to how they sent senior administration officials to Afghanistan to beg for help from the Taliban during the the collapse.

My take on this is that the rise in oil prices is now completely out of control. That Biden now sees a total economic crisis on the horizon that he has no ability to deal with. And that Biden is running around the world begging anyone he can find - friends or enemies - to solve his problems for him.
Welcome to the first stage of an economic crisis. And there isn't one competent leader in the entire western world.

So here we are.
Turn out Nazis really are the end of the Western hegemony - not because they are fighting us, but because we are so desperate to support them (for the sake of Hunter's piggy bank) that we just shot ourselves in both feet and the dick. And hardly anyone is paying attention because Orange Man Bad, Red Man Badder.

Gentlemen, it's been an honour shitposting with you. Smoke 'em if you've got 'em.

My take is that nothing ever happens and we've been doomsaying financial collapse since 2001 with our dick in our hands waiting for a money shot that will never come because our economy is bullshit and our money is fake and the average person is niggercattle.

The Polish jets are so shitty the US turned them down

It would not surprise me in the least if Poland pulled out of NATO & the EU and signed a treaty of alliance with Russia based on this news.
This is an insult to Poland that cannot stand. The only possible response is something egotistical, stupid and self-destructive.

 

[The Nothingness]

I've just received word that Joe Biden is standing outside the Saudi capitol with a boombox over his head blaring a Peter Gabriel song.

Sorry, Brandon, the Arabs won't let you touch their glowing orb.

They’re all great, I’m just wondering why you used the English version.

They're both great, but we've more English speakers than German speakers. Also, it's American Neo-Cons who are screaming for WW3 and Nuclear Annihilation, and that deserves the less good version.

True, but that gravy train can only go so far.

I think they just assume (rightly) that most people are gullible knaves who won't hold them accountable.

As much as I hope this shitshow blows up in the Cathedral's face, I must remind everyone with great pain that virtually nobody responsible for GWOT or 2008 saw so much as a slap on the wrist.

Even if America enters its equivalent of Weimar/Yeltsin years, don't expect the guillotines to come out. Most people will simply keep sitting around with their thumbs up their asses and wallowing in denial of their misery.

Please, We're already hurtling into the worst aspects of Weimar BS rn with Trannies and disguised molestation camps. https://www.sexysexed.org/

 

[Meat Target]

To be fair during the Yeltsin regime there was an attempt to hold him accountable and it brought together communists, fascists, tsarists, republicans, and all sorts of agitators. Unfortunately, TPTB and Russian oligarchs kept their puppet from being deposed.

"We hang the petty criminals and elect the master criminals to public office."

Martha Stewart did some insider trading, and Eddie Gallagher killed an ISIS POW for the lulz, but heaven forbid anyone step on the toes of Rumsfeld, Powell, Cheney, Dubya, or Goldman Sachs.

OPEC+ truce after the oil price wars.

Russia's Diamond Discoveries and the ‘Silver Bears’

"By the 70s Mir should have been producing smaller and smaller quantities but they were increasing the gem quality diamonds for sale to De Beers London, these were all of uniform size and shape and known as 'Silver Bears'. De Beers were mystified how they were producing these diamonds but nevertheless were forced into buying them in fear of them being dumped onto and flooding the market. The secrets behind the Mir mine will never be known to western officials. The rapid progress of Mir was a massive concern to De Beers who had controlled the distribution of most of the world’s diamonds at that time. De Beers were forced to buy the soviet diamonds to control the market price. "

Basically, Russia is comfortable dealing with these types of cartels.

That's fine for random bullshit like MBSes causing a financial crisis in 2008, but when there's a lack of actual product for that money to buy shit gets real and that monopoly money can't fix that.

Bro, if I went outside six months ago without a mask a cop would shoot me in the head for my own safety and then niggers would rob my corpse and burn down my house. Reality has been an authoritarian shithole no matter where you've lived the last few years.

Even still, living under a regime that’d disappear me for just a picture of a harmless yellow bear and probably harvest my organs…ain’t worth it just so I don’t have to listen to someone with bright blue hair who calls themselves “a celestial being” go on about BTS while taking a break from “adulting during their human experience”, or some chick talk about being “too gay to be around men”.

You triggered him by talking about troons being harvested for their organs (which is a bad idea since they're full of chemicals and AIDS).

eta: See what I mean? Troons gonna troon.

I'm not going to worry about this escalating outside of Russia and Ukraine until a no-fly zone is declared. I'm convinced that most of the idiots supporting the idea think it means there would just be a magical barrier in the sky.

If a house is built on sand, and constructed from corncobs, paper, and spit, a storm isn't gonna care if you say it's built out of brick.

You can only bullshit so much before you get Chernobyl. Lying and cheating have consequences.

Feels like that, but if you logically think about it, you can't just keep an economy running on giving niggers KFC and having Jews move money around. That has to come to a head at some point. To me, the US economy kind of comes off as the housing bubble in that it kept going on for longer because no one wanted it to fail, but it eventually did have to. Likewise, there are some other factors at play this time around because now you have countries that actually make shit wondering if they wouldn't be better off without the US existing.
