Was it really an overreaction? Did the Bidens have nearly as much money at stake in Iraq as in Ukraine?
Putting it that way, it makes more sense. Biden does have a lot at stake in Ukraine in terms of dirty deals. The average American though, not so much unless they have family/friends from Ukraine or are from Ukraine themselves. The war is being pushed hardest by the elites.
 
Since 2 or 3 weeks Russia is also focusing on destroying fuel depots.
Imo this will be devastating for the Ukrainian army but also for farmers since the seeding season started in Ukraine.
You reminded me of a video that appeared shortly after the conflict. A Ukrainian farmer describes the unenviable situation he found himself in.

Friends, yesterday I was in the Kherson region, including communicating with farmers on sowing. The situation is worse than I expected:


1. There will be no sowing.


2. Before the war, farmers handed over the last harvest of grain and sunflowers to the Mykolaiv region. They were not paid.


3. Before the war, farmers paid for diesel fuel. They had been duped; there was no diesel fuel and no money.


4. No one understands how to continue living.


5. The Ukrainian people have been abandoned.All the support of the film's actor, Zelensky, is only on the Internet in words.


6. My opinion is that the Ukrainian authorities are deliberately disrupting the sowing season in order to cause famine.


In the video, the farmer's appeal. He has 350 hectares of sunflower and 550 hectares of winter wheat. To start the sowing campaign, he needs 5 tons of diesel fuel.

 
Strange, Google "real time" results is giving me this.

Having nukes would honestly make Ukraine more of a threat to Russia and less prone to invasion. It’s a good deal, if you ask me.
I'm completely fine with Ukraine not having a nuclear weapon because they have proven themselves to be Scum but especially they're elites and government officials like zelensky. Let Russia have it all
 
And there is also an awful lot of ammo and weapons that's been missing.
We've seen a few funny vids of farmers with tanks and a Z-Lada with 2 MANPADS on top of the roof but there are also vids from Kiev where they just
hand out AKs and mags to anybody who wants one. No questions asked, no registration necessary.
A few days ago the Ukrainian army left a village and they left a shitload of weapons + ammo behind: machine guns, hand grenades and manpads.

What will happen with these weapons after the war?
Both sides have a few autistic and radical spergers who might be unhappy of how things went and decide to take the terrorist path.
It's not that difficult to imagine what such groups are capable of with a bunch of stingers and manpads.
I can definitely see azov battalion rejects committing terrorist acts in central and Western Europe in 5 years.

This, un-ironically. They wanted a ☢️No-Fly Zone.☢️ Best let Vlad just clip their wings and call it a day.
 
Real life is not an anime. You seem to forget Russia is still a nuclear power, even if they are driven out of Ukraine somehow. Yelling isn't gonna scare them.
First of, retard, nobody is saying invade Russia, burn Moscow to the ground and hang the entire Kremlin by their balls. NATO doesn't even need to send in troops. Ukraine is doing fine on that and the main goal is to completely kick them the fuck out.
Second, screaming isn't supposed to scare them, screaming is supposed to give them the clear idea to fuck off.
What the hell is it with you people and Russia? You literally have no idea what kind of a nation it is lol
I know that you’re a Euro and have special hatred for Russians.
This is absolutely not about hatred. I personally like Russians far more than the average euro, of who most truly do hate Russia and for very good reasons.
I don’t see a point in it. Euros need to uncuck themselves by cutting some of those social programs in exchange for a better funded military. Without the US, Euros wouldn’t be able to do much.
Now you're just rambling about how shit is shit and not peach perfect gold.
Me and many other have said it a million times already.
If the US wants to lock itself out of geopolitics after fucking around in it and taking the responsibility for fuck ups half the time, great, go and lock yourselves up.
America has far too many enemies who can fall back on slave labor and the blackest of black markets to resupply itself for whatever way they would push pressure on the west. You're asbolutely right that without the US, the rest of the western world would have to eat a lot of shit. Thing is, America alone isn't some power monopoly either and if it locks up, Putin, China, Iran and whatever other shithole power house rises up, they will without a fucking doubt come for America in the whatever distant future, because America is the final goal. It is the dumbest of shits for America to think it can back just back off and be unscathed. But you gotta be smart about how you want to fight.
