Categorically, 100%, the US puppeted Ukraine provoked the war, and idealizes a perpetual war on Russia to the last Ukrainian. Complete CIA captured politicians and media disinform you of Russia being in an offensive war. Even if you have a different false opinion, Russia agrees with my statement, and Russia’s opinion is all that is relevant to Russia policy.
-
It is stupid to wage war on Russia. You don’t win even without strategizing MAD as a victory of least destroyed. Inflation, and a Russian economic shift to support its own existence while casually pretending our own economies are fine.
-
There are plenty of nuclear scenarios where MAD is a US instigated choice. Nuclear strikes on any US global base, or Air carrier fleet is not a missile headed for US that requires launching 1000s in return.
-
Cheering on the US escallation, that was not used for any Ukrainian strategic advantage/survival such as a Kursk withdrawal, is cheering for your rulers to suicide you. US economy is on the edge of collapse and cannot survive a nuclear strike, terrorist act, or many more natural disasters. Forcing Russia to destroy US economy/sustainability is not good for you, and you need to remove head from ass in your celebrations.

ever thought about why ukraine is fine with being a “us puppet”?
also how did they start the war? russia anexed krimea in 2014, so they started it
Even if you have a different false opinion, Russia agrees with my statement
“everyone disagreeing with me is wrong”
also: russia investigates russia and finds out russia did nothing wrong
It is stupid to wage war on Russia
so if they’re gonna be destroyed anyway why not fight? also: should russia not fight back if let’s say sibiria was anexed by the us? I mean the us got the largest military in the world and the most allies, so why bother?
Inflation, and a Russian economic shift to support its own existence while casually pretending our own economies are fine.
the west may be doing badly, but we didn’t have to close the banks
Nuclear strikes on any US global base, or Air carrier fleet is not a missile headed for US that requires launching 1000s in return.
ok, what do you want to tell me with that? should russia be allowed to attack any country only because they allow the us to have military installations on their territory?
Cheering on the US escallation, that was not used for any Ukrainian strategic advantage/survival such as a Kursk withdrawal, is cheering for your rulers to suicide you.
war is always suicide for the individual, and you can’t really say they do strategic nonsense, because if they did ukraine wouldn’t exist anymore
US economy is on the edge of collapse
please elaborate, I’d like to know your basis for that assumption
Forcing Russia to destroy US economy/sustainability
you clearly overestimate russia my friend, also before that happens the us would either pull out, or send troops to russia, which would be the end of russia, not the us
Shut the fuck up vatnik go cry somewhere else
lol “false opinion”…post is irrelevant.
- Russia invades Ukraine
Tankies: how could the USA do this?!?!!!one!!1
It’s clearly Ukraine’s fault for dressing so provocatively.
Stupid sexy Ukraine.
Russia agrees with my statement, and Russia’s opinion is all that is relevant to Russia policy.
So even if Ukraine actually did instigate this war, which I firmly hold is total bullshit, it wouldn’t matter according to your logic because Russia was going to do whatever it wanted anyway. On that basis, either countries stand up to Russia at some point or Russia blackmails its way into owning the entire world.
Even if you think that Euromaidan was 100% CIA orchestrated and done directly to turn Ukraine against Russia - obviously not necessary since Ukraine was already favouring Europe, that’s what the entire drama was about - Russia didn’t think it was necessary to even see what the outcome was before deciding that Crimea looked awfully nice and undefended. If you think that Ukraine’s trade arrangements count as the opening move of an actual war, I don’t know what to say to you
It is stupid to wage war on Russia
Russia has lost plenty of wars. It lost WW1. It lost in Afghanistan when it was the much bigger and stronger Soviet Union. Twice. It lost against Japan. It lost the Crimean War. You know there’s more of history than WW2 and Napoleon, right?
And either way, it’s not like Russia left Ukraine with much of a choice, is it? Or are we falling back on round two of “Russia gets to blackmail anyone into anything”?

One day the fire of a thousand suns will cleans the world from good and evil alike and will bring true balance.
Nah. It’s gonna be bird flu.
Covid shut down the world with a death rate of like 1%.
Bird flu is 56%.
Don’t let the sink in. It’s coughing and looks like it’s got Bird flu.
fortunately the death rate of Bird flu is much lower. look at what’s going on in the US milk industry. there are hundreds of infections amongst workers, very few died.
Por que no los dos?
Bird flu pandemic + actual hot nuclear´war. This is doinh miracles for my mental health. I always felt as if nothing really ever mattered.
It doesn’t. We’ll be a tiny stain on an otherwise lifeless rock.
I think bird flu is deadly enough that people will actually take it seriously, the survival rate of Covid was high enough it was possible you would know multiple people who’ve had it and survived.
But if it does kick off, it’s going to kick off with absolutely the worst people in charge of managing it coupled with lunatics running podcasts who see everything as a conspiracy or are snakeoil salesman/women with a massive reach.
It’s going to rival the Black Death if it happens under Trumps administration.
no it won’t. plenty of infected people probably got under the radar because they thought it’s regular flu. covid initially had much higher fatality too
Thankfully, I’m nowhere near the USA, and my country has largely competent leaders, so I’ll be watching in horror from the other side of the world.
H5N1 has never left, there were outbreaks 20 years ago already
“I’ve seen this one before!”
And this time people know to get mad and deliberately cough on each other for freedom in advance, instead of just buying TP.
One can only hope.
In my experience who are against more Ukraine aid think that the dollar amount we send is actual cash that can be spent in other places, rather than pallets of munitions that don’t keep forever anyway.
This is the most obscene attempt to understate the US’s involvement in the war in Ukraine I’ve ever seen.
Da comrade, USA always fault. Very fault.
Not always, but it’s the fault of the USA far more than it should be. Like a pants shittingly stupid amount of the time. Almost as pants shittingly stupid as Americans who pretend that isn’t the case.
Eaglestan has been known to start weird unnecessary wars, but this is not one of them.
(I personally can’t really comment on surplus vs. new in detail, though)
It’s USA’s fault Russia annexed Crimea? and now attempting to annex more?
How’s that?
sponsoring a coup d’etat that threatens the russian Black Sea Fleet’s command center. but you know that.
Got any evidence… Of said sponsored elements involved in coup
The Department of TrustMeBro is immune to FOIA and rarely releases documents.
Even for new weapons and ammo it is usually just spending on the local weapons manufacturers so basically just supporting your own economy.
And a part of that is old stuff that would be decommissioned so the cash is to make the new products. Or do I have understood it.
And we’re also saving a bunch on disposal costs for the old stuff.
nah that’s right. we’ve sent ukraine a shit ton of basically decommissioned shit. and even then we’ve been weirdly stingy, and unresponsive to their non military aid requests (their biggest ask is glass)
Seems weird to ask the US for glass when they can get it from a lot closer, assuming we’re just talking about normal glass.
they’ve been asking literally all their allies for glass. it’s been a constant struggle for them to get aid, especially as the western countries they used to rely on shifted focus to helping Israel
Uhh… why glass?
Probably on account of every window in every city being broken by shockwaves from bombardments
also ukrainian winters are notably brutal
Wouldn’t plexiglass be a better thing to ask for during war time in that case?
I am guessing that outside of the frontlines bombings are still fairly rare events. Risk is low enough for installing proper windows, but high enough to ensure there are not enough.
Good point. Chuck Norris-style thumbs up.
It’s literal economic stimulus, US sends them old shit, and buys new and more expensive shit from local military suppliers. This is the “creating jobs” thing the right likes so much, except when it’s against Russian interests
Yes, but it is really inefficient. If we simply ignore the nuke threat it would probably take the US a month of bombing to restore pre 2014 borders.
Fox has been pumping up the Russophobia since Putin started saber-rattling, most likely to justify Trump’s incoming “peace negotiations” that will result in sacrificing Ukrainian territory.
If they take out Ukraine and only talk between Trump and Putin, then the war continues, the US just won’t be their shop… Plenty of countries need to update their weapons on Ukrainian money.
They need Biden to go easy on russia until the fat orange can get in power and come save daddy putin.
That’s exactly why Biden authorized Ukraine to use US missiles on Russian territory and supplied antipersonnel mines.
Not sure if we should tease a powerful dictator in the last third of his lifespan, who is slowly losing a war and his lifegoal of a reunited Russia. I know it’s fun to humiliate a bad guy, but if he decides “if I die, the world dies”, we’re doomed.
If we let him win do you know how many other wannabe world rulers are going to try the same thing? And how many other countries this particular asshole is going to try to invade?
I don’t want to let him win. There is s huge gray area between “okay, you win” and “go nuke us, coward”: Good old civilized diplomacy, Star Trek-style! It’s smart, elegant and everybody get’s his/her voice heard. It’s more difficult now than it was 2 or 5 or 10 years ago, and not as popular with voters. But I still hope the world is better than “let’s kill the bad guy!”
And how do you achieve anything with diplomacy with someone who explicitly broke the last few agreements related to the country in question to invade?
You’re in the wrong place
This is NCD. That’s precisely what we’re going to do.
What’s NDC?
if he decides “if I die, the world dies”, we’re doomed.
Unlikely, he’s got kids.
The tankies aren’t going to like this meme.
I take Putin very seriously.
Us military is on the same page.Weirdo nutjobs on the Internet create memes on how much everyone is wrong but them.
Visegradians, Viking-chans, and Baltics are taking kremlin far more seriously than the most of West. At the same time we cant take seriously yet another boo hoo we satan warsaw, we take berlin nazi and polands next after baltics.
Hell, we take kremlin mafia far more seriously than most of the tankies. We just want to either throw molotovs or piss bottles into their old babushka cursing at everyone window and be done with it.
Because Kremlin is an old Babushka bully. She will spit and yell at everyone, then play the victim. So you either ignore or drop kick it.
maybe ask someone professional for help.
Like assassin’s? 🤣
Okay but everyone else IS wrong but me
I can vouch for this one.
I wanted to argue but I got deterred.
Did you take him seriously when he said sending cruise missiles to Ukraine would be considered a nuclear attack? Or that sending f16s would be a nuclear attack? Or when he said Ukraine was planning to use a nuclear dirty bomb? He has every incentive to blow everything out of proportion, so we can’t go off of what he says.
I don’t care about Ukraine. Just don’t involve us into this crap.
If they browse NCD they’ll be mad a lot. People on here have the the normal take on whether the North Koreans are secret Wakanda good guys, and it comes up constantly.
Fuck em.
Man, I wonder if those Russian propaganda guys ever wish they had more non-bullshit to spew. Like, they have to keep up appearances, but it’s usually easy to tell which statements are for the public, and which ones they might actually mean (like the threat to do their own proxy wars), so it’s just a lot of wasted words.
Huh? Why was this redrawn? Was it for the hair?
Pay attention to my threats or I’ll… I’ll MaKe MoRe ThReAtS! I MeAn It! I’mN oT KiDdInG ArOuNd!! ! !!!
I believe he is 100% serious. And I still think it shouldn’t matter. The conflict will grow regardless, and the West shouldn’t concede a single inch to the psychopathic asshole.
Otherwise we might as well hand him all of Europe on a silver platter.
Otherwise we might as well hand him all of Europe on a silver platter.
And sadly I believe that a lot of Americans would prefer isolationism and are fine with this, as they’d get to cut military spending.
Of course, Europeans buy American goods and vice versa. If Russia ruled over all of Europe, Putin could just stop all trade with the US as a giant middle finger.
Except he can’t rule over all of Europe…
Oh they don’t want to cut military funding
Some at least pretend to. “If we didn’t have to police the world, we could save so much on military spending, Europe should get its’ own shit together”
And while I as an European agree about the last part, I still think NATO is a beneficial alliance to everyone involved.
Why are WE the ones afraid of consequences? Why should the so-called “mightiest nation on Earth” be the one that cowers whenever someone makes nuclear threats? Didn’t we used to lead the world in creating fear of our military and our nuclear weapons?
I don’t get how the right in particular treats the USA like a mighty jugger- nah I can’t even frame my rhetorical thought, we all know that Russia is deeply involved in shaping the opinions and attitudes of our country’s dumbest fuckwads.
The US military is a juggernaut in conventional war, but there’s no winners in nuclear war.
There can absolutely be a winner in a limited-scale nuclear exchange.
Fox news is desperately pushing this and signal boosting their true leader constantly.
Tankies: “Liberals are so blood-thirsty”
Le natoo is a warmongering countri intensifies.
My favourite was “inherently escalatory organization”.
Can someone explain to me why it’s ridiculous to take them seriously? Genuine question.
that’s because MAD still works and things like sending ATACMS are nowhere close to actual nuclear threshold, which would be nuclear attack or overwhelming conventional invasion threatening existence of country. nobody would be even thinking of nukes until Ukrainian tanks roll to Moscow lol. if you have a spare hour https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fWKGYnO0Jf4
But what about tactical nukes which wouldn’t trigger MAD?
There has been some debate over the response to tactical Nuclear weapons - notably NATO threatened a conventional response to the use of nukes (likely meant to be read as, “We will end this war, no nukes needed.”) but it would depend massively on their usage.
When your enemy has strategic nukes, the extreme ways to respond are:
A, not taking the nuclear threat seriously.
B, give up.
Saying we shouldn’t arm Ukraine because of nukes is close to option B.
Nukes may go off, but if arming Ukraine is the trigger, than we were likely to witness nuclear war because we wouldn’t accept option B, rather than any weapon system giving Ukraine an advantage. If that is the case, nuclear war has most likely already been decided.
The real game is to make those in Russia believe that backing down works towards their goals. If they hope in 20 years the US will fall apart, they may wait, or maybe someone will kill Putin and take over Russia, being rewarded by less sanctions.
Long story short, nuking Ukraine don’t benifit Russia more than it will hurt it.
I am not an expert
And where do you stop appeasement? Kyiv? Warschau? Berlin? Amsterdam? London?
USA should conquer Taiwan, Cuba and South America before somebody gives them nukes.
Opposing this would be blood thirsty war mongering, a direct cause of WW3.
So conquering other countries is wrong after all? Or are you being serious? Because that is precisely the Kremlin’s rationale for this war: Take out Ukraine before it joins the west and becomes too powerful to conquer.
No need to use them now that Trump will withdraw support.
