I’m not even sure if many of you know this, but the negotiations between the United States and Russia fell apart about three days ago.
Yesterday Russia tested one of their nuclear missiles 6,000 kilometers across the territory of Russia and the United States did the same thing in territory close to the United States.
You can basically see where this is going, but what do you think about the situation?
USA and Russia are on the same team, UK and France need to step up their nuclear program to deter against imperialism.
Normally I’d be against this but times have changed and Canada needs to let NATO station some up north as well. The US is no longer an ally.
What type of asanine response is this? Are you suggesting that the United States and Russia are going to fight against UK and France?
Also France and UK suck geopoliticially and are better off with less not more
standard low-effort anti-US “hot take” from the lemmy inteligentisia
The United States have been taken over by a Russian-Alligned authoritarian administration. I’m not sure about if the US would be directly siding with Russia, but EU countries should not expect the US to adhere to the nuclear umbrella agreements or NATO, and should plan as though the US is effectively going to betray NATO.
In fact, I’d say Australia should just ignore the NPT and get their own nukes to protect South Korea and Taiwan against PRC.
The US cannot be relied upon when it comes to diplomacy, especially when every 4 years is just a roll of dice to see how bad the administration could get, and I’m saying this as an American.
You have no idea what’s going on with the Shield politics. The fact that you think Australia needs to protect South Korea and Taiwan is asinine. They are a totally different country that’s not even Asian.
Russia doesn’t control any parts of America in great quantity. I don’t know if some oligarch thrives some politician here and there but they don’t control congress nor do they control any of the political movements that are already in place in the United States.
Have you even been to America? They are evil yes but they hate Russia
Nah, our president is definitely compromised by Russia. Every time the subject of Ukraine comes up you can just see it plain as day.
Because he knows direct war with Russia would result in defeat
lol. Lmao even.
The United States spends more on defense than any country in the world by far, including Russia.
It would not be particularly competitive.
More money doesn’t mean its better but like I said well see. The war is about to start because America can’t leave other nations alone
We stopped hating Russia about the same time the Berlin Wall came down. My high school girlfriend was learning Russian in a public school in 1987. It wasn’t common, of course, but it shows anecdotally that we never hated the Russian people other than they were communist.
You people are so delusional and detached from anything happening in reality it’s crazy. America is anti China and Russia in almost every way it can do it in
You people? I don’t even know what demographic you’re trying to cast me in. Whatever it is, I don’t conform to any group.
Sure you do. This is why you use the terminology we. When I was referencing Americans. You are indeed part of the group. Now back to reality I go 🦹🏻♀️
I think that some very old men in charge of both countries should find a safer way to feel masculine again.
I kinda disagree. I’d be happy with them doing unsafe things to feel masculine, so long as it’s only them in danger. That way we might not have to deal with them much longer
Do you have links to reputable sources? I can find news of Russia doing exercises (link below) but not the US responding in kind.
Sorry I meant to type several months ago with the USA
No you didn’t.
nothing. safety of people in nato is guaranteed by a several of icbms somewhere in wyoming or in some submarine with putin’s name on them. self-preservation is a mighty powerful instinct, and it worked for entire cold war. will easily work for a couple of decades more
I doubt they will do much against the new tech
is there something you don’t understand? it doesn’t fucking matter what russians claim to have tested, you as nato resident are protected by nato’s ability to evaporate moscow and moscow residents survival instinct, meaning that they won’t start shit if they want to remain not evaporated. it works in any number of ways between any number of nuclear states, and can’t be undone
Russia has the strongest military in the world that has technology that can eviscerate all NATO members within 20 minutes.
Some of their strategic argument doesn’t even need nuclear capabilities.
Not saying they’re invulnerable against attack, but they would be able to devastate all of NATO with their attacks.
That’s a lot of copium you’re huffing.
Russia’s military can’t even take Ukraine.
Lmao to be a westerner. Ukraine has lost all that land, over 1.7 million of their soldiers are neutralized and over 80% of the country has no power as all their The electrical grid has nearly been wiped out.
Russia is strategically taking back land on the front lines slowly and methodically because they are losing very little soldiers by doing so. If they went to they can accelerate the pace and completely finish off Ukraine. They are choosing to do this in a more subtle way for a negotiation room.
They basically have the same territory as they did a few years ago. They’re also hurting for troops.
You need to get better sources.
Damn. You aren’t getting it, you’ve been lied to by the west. Russia is kicking ass and taking names. Economy thriving, sanctions not doing anything to them but making them self sufficient. Strongest and most sophisticated missiles in the world. I’m just speaking facts look it up and see. They have millions of troops by the way
Hi, Ukrainian here. You’re making shit up both in regards to how much land russia occupies and how badly damaged the power grid is. If they could “accelerate the pace”, they would have done so in the first year of the war.
That report was straight from BBC news and they are pro Ukraine. I’m not making up anything. If you all weren’t getting electrical assistance from neighboring countries and gas from allies for generators on a municipality level you would have no power do you want the footage for power grids getting knocked offline by missiles just this week alone?
Russia has the strongest military in the world
Strongest military in the world LMFAO.
Even from a “anti-west” PoV, seriously? Forgot about China?
Even China could literally just take russia if russians didn’t have nukes. 🤣 If China invades (not saying that they would, but if they do), then Russian Army would be the 4th strongest in Russia, after China, Ukraine, Wagner. ROFL 🤣
I can’t try to prove it because it has to have real world applications for it to be seen. When the hot war starts in a few you’ll just learn from the history books of who wins
Looking forward to teaching Mandarin in China-Occupied Russia, 同志 😉
Chinese people have things to resolve in China before they’ll be doing anything on the lines of occupied. You have social credit score and dropping birth rates to worry about first
