I think it depends on who's shipping in weapons. How are these weapon shipments carried out? Because I think Russia is going to start targeting them. Because if it turns out a member of NATO dies driving these shipments even on Ukrainian soil we're going to have an incident.
It's very symbolic of V2 and the errors and heresies which followed in its wake.
Imagine protesting over not getting McDonalds dog shit food like this is beyond fucking parody.
If you look at the chart you would see that, according to Spengler, this is wrong. Each civilization has their Caesar, Socrates, Charlemagne etc. at around the same time in their lifecycle. That is exactly why he compared the warring states period to European civilization between 1815-1945
It becomes infinitely funnier when you start gaming out that some American getting paid 9k a year to manage some podunk MUSTARD museum typed that up, staged it, thought about it, staged it differently, closed the case, walked in front of said case and went "Damn, I really did my part today! For Ukraine!" held up a paper-thin-skin covered fist, and walked off smugly to get their cellphone and take a picture.....THEN they posted it on the internet for asspats.
On a tread about a war ran by two men and their male backers, I find your comments very* misogynistic* good sir.
Wait we did this one two hundred thousand posts ago. Kamala Harris beat us to it.
I disagree with this theory, I think the similarities are superficial. How do you explain societies that haven't had homologs? It's a neat thought exercise but what do I know, I'm an internet retard.
Being an Instagram thot is merely crass and tasteless. Bing a nuclear warmonger in a position of power is a threat to all life on earth. Just this once, they don't suck "equally".
DC faggots have promised that sanctions "work" since forever. Actual evidence of them "working" by way of changing the targeted regime are almost non-existent. But they do "work" to make poor people in poor countries' lives even poorer and shittier, so I guess that's a kind of "working".
I'm pretty sure the reason a nuclear holocaust will happen is because of e thots and their constant selling of bath water and other means of making civilization too degenerate to allow it to survive.
While I think Russia has been driven into a corner sphere of influence wise, I do think NATO is just the Russian boogeyman in this case. As soon as Ukraine started to leave Russia's sphere of influence its fate was sealed.
There are a few examples of the Soviets playing economic hard ball with US companies, the one that comes to mind is the De Beers Diamond Cartel.No, not so much.
Cold War versions of this were like fighting with wiffle bats. We armed based freedom fighters in Asia and Africa, they armed cringe communists in those places. Even Afghanistan, which was roughly the Russian Vietnam, was never seen by the Kremlin as being of vital strategic importance to the continued existence of the USSR. They could tolerate eventually losing there. They don't see this fight in Ukraine in the same way, they think its importance is existential for Russia.
Economically, the West and the USSR didn't really compete at all. The latter was a closed system, though we did trade with them to some degree and Ford, Pepsi etc. did business in Russia. What we're saying now is different:
* This is a global economy
* We've just deplatformed you from the global economy and stolen all the assets you parked in the West
Cold War 2.0 is less stable and more dangerous because there's no detente, no mutual understanding of the other side having legitimate spheres of influence, and the economic order that allowed the USSR to just ignore Western banks, sanctions etc. no longer exists.
Also there was no mainstream voice in Western politics calling for us to bomb Russia. When Regan said it as a mic test, it was a punchline. Now there's a substantial number of influential people in the policy making class who are openly demanding a "no fly zone", which would lead to the same outcome. They're not joking, and it's possible they will get their wish.
The Soviet Union had originally been hunting for diamonds for industrial use, but found enough gem quality stones to be a threat to De Beers.
NATO will just show up and stand idly by watching people die in a besieged city.
No, you're wrong on this one.
Perhaps the Pope just really likes Dark Souls.
Right, right my bad.
The job she has is literally bullshitting for the president how is this not common knowledge? People only quote press secretaries to make fun of them.
