It's no problem for him. You, and/or your sons, daughters, brothers, and sisters, will get sent into the meat grinder, while he sits at the Pentagon stuffing his face with donuts.

>Strategic partner
>Not part of the EU
>Not part of NATO
>You already have nukes pointing at Moscow from Lithuania, Estonia and Latvia
I'm sorry but what's the "strategy" here?
own every country that borders Russia?

 

[Matt Damon]

Norton and Avast are fucking off.

Oh no, the poor Russians.

 

[Toothpaste]

How will they get those tanks, F-35 jets and NATO troops if they don't control their own airspace, seaports and border crossings?

You would have to de facto occupy the country to do that. You can't expect the local population to simply accept Russian military occupation with no issues. Remember that it was the maintenance of the Soviet empire through the Warsaw Pact that ruined the Soviet Union. Trying to maintain the indefinite military occupation of a country with 1/3 the population of yours is not really feasible in the long term. You will gain nothing from Ukraine while spending a huge amount of resources and manpower to maintain your control over it.

Just in its current form, Russia's "special military operation" is costing them an estimated 5 billion USD/day. They can keep up that spending for maybe another month or two before the national budget becomes insolvent and they will default on all their debts.

Apparently this is a classic from the Donbass war but it's the first time I see it so if somebody could enlighten me.

Yeah it's old. Saw it on YouTube in 2017 or soemthing.

Actually he is a hero because he hates Trump or something.

 

[Lards and Lasses]

The problem with the conservative, is that he wants to go to the same parties that degenerate liberals hang out that.

This is true, but buddy, you have no business calling anyone else a degenerate.

Is occupying Ukraine actually going to be that hard though? These aren't goatherders in Iraq whose infrastructure got wrecked. They're practically cousins and they're giving them tax cuts to put their life together.

Russia has defacto control over all of Ukraine's seaports and airspace, and can shut down resupply to the Ukraine army as much as they want.

Their objectives are met. They don't need to control all the land, but as long as they have air superiority on a long term basis, Ukraine will not have a military.

Yeah, that's why I've been seeing so much shelling footage around the first week in multiple cities. With an uncontested air force, you can destroy supply buildings and demoralize the garrisons.

Currently, I'm seeing lots of Russian convoys popping up, as well as footage of occupations in places like the Energodar city hall, which is a sign that the Rus military softened Ukrainian ground forces to a level that allowed the Russian army to go in without resistance.

"dude just let them occupy you haha its not a big deal lmao" is not a convincing argument to real people

I'll be honest, I disagree with your takes, but I understand your perspective through the lens of you being Finnish.

Spoiler: Average Finn

But seriously, I get it. Living directly next to Russia without NATO status and without friendly relations to Russia is a ballsy move. I hope Finland gets to join NATO. I know you said that you see the war being like the winter war, but I think it's going to end up like the continuation war. A long slog that ultimately concludes in Ukraine ceding the strategic and oil+gas resource rich eastern areas to Russia.

Trump and others could join Gab, inb4 muh shitty alternative, and keep on posting from there.

But the reason isn't because liberals crying racist or Big Tech fucking them up the ass, its because the ADL cries "oy vey, muh 6 gorrilion, bad goy" and boom, they stick to getting beaten like battered housewives to Big Tech mainstream websites.

The Texas GOP has cucked for the past two years on the border being open by showing little to no resistance towards Biden. But those cunts found the time to hold a fucking vote on deleting their Gab account lol.

Twitter and Facebook are lost causes and pretty much the propaganda arms of the uniparty sitting in DC.

I disagree. Social media is the digital public square. Conservatives retreating to alt-tech ghettoes is letting liberals win. Nobody takes places like BitChute seriously because it's also where loons like David Icke hang out.

The Right needs to fight for every inch of ground it can keep.

I didn't ask anyone to do anything. I'm just wondering if it would actually be difficult to annex.

Definitely difficult. You're going to need tons of resources and manpower to pacify and rebuild the regions. And Russia doesn't have that much money left

No capital punishment in Russia though. It's probably going to be go turn big rocks into smaller rocks in Siberia.

The Constitutional Court reaffirmed the moratorium contingent on Russia's membership in the Council of Europe. Russia got tempkicked from the C of E, after which Dmitry Medvedev (Putin's Castling counterpart and a political nobody) said "death penalty fuck yeah".

About half of Russians want the death penalty back. It is currently a punishment for aggravated murder, genocide, plus politician-, judge- and cop-killing attempts. If the bullshit is cut, keeping only (successful) aggravated murder, support will moon. Recently, two male homosexuals kidnapped, raped, tortured, and murdered a 5-year-old girl; people want death for them, and it can happen.

Turning big rocks into smaller rocks isn't much of a reprieve. There are places in Siberia which give convicts terminal cancer in a year or so.

I watched a couple prison documentaries about Russian prisons years back. The death penalty is more humane than Russian prison, by a lot.

"These aren't goatherders in Iraq whose infrastructure got wrecked. They're practically cousins and they're giving them tax cuts to put their life together."
their infrastructure is currently getting turbo wrecked in real time by rocket artillery all over the place, millions of them are driven from their homes and have to flee the country, unknown numbers killed and injured - the whole "they're practically cousins" schtick goes out the window completely in the face of this situation

I think we just identified the fatal divergence into Clown World Timeline.

I know this is an old post but Swat Kats probably caused some furries.

 

[Hüftpriester]

Glenn Greenwald just released a video regarding the biolabs story. To give the full context on how GAE can't be trusted with anything they say, he spent a lot of time talking about how the anthrax attacks were a MASSIVE glow-op used to gaslight the population into supporting the Iraq War. We're coming up on the 19 year anniversary and it feels like the spooks are running with a lot of the same talking points. Very concerning.

 

[Wash away the rain]

You know with the examples of the volunteers so far for Ukraine that we know of they seem like a good group to find new cows in that British” medic “ and Canadian psycho are allready pretty good candidates but imagine some of the ones we might not know about yet.
