International Russian invasion of Ukraine Megathread V1

I’m more concerned that Ukraine is going to get pressured into invading the separatist regions.

 

[Diogenes of Sinope]

Meh, let them fight and keep the US out of it. It's not our battle,

Like that ever stopped us before

 

[Zinger]

Meanwhile there are illegals being taken in by busses in the US and nobody gives a shit about borders

Fuck off.

Since she apparently had a meeting with the Baltic presidents 2 days ago as well. I wonder what shady deals did they make and what happens here in the future. We got tons of ethnic russians, and ideological conflicts here as well, you never know.

The fact that a handful of elites and corrupt politicians can wield this kind of power is crazy. Archaic, insane.

 

[CantCucktheTuck]

Because Russia has no right to invade a sovereign nation on the grounds that the US is antagonizing them.

You can always go to Ukraine and join the resistances.

Why do you love Putin so much?

Go to Ukraine Rambo.

It’s all about money and votes money for defense weapon contracts and lobbiest … votes coming from illegals eventually

And America is the arbitrator of what is good in the world. Is that what you are saying to me?

Nope

Why do you love Putin so much?

Because it suits his political tribalism at home... no matter how antithetical the majority of Putin's views and ambitions are to him and his ilk.

ermagerhd.

so now russia can't have their own troops at their own border? do you geniuses even listen to yourself? and now it's 200k?

shit, even IF another 50k just appeared... you know ukraine has ~255k, right? why would a SMALLER amount be some huge threat worthy of preemptive sanctions?

btw, this "imminent" invasion has been "imminent" for 11 days now.



eta: 'troops at sovereign nations border' is starting to sound a lot like 'crossed state lines' and etc in how i see this bs parroted everywhere as if it actually means something.

Honest question, are you just sympathetic to Russia and feel the West doesn't give it proper respect?

 

[Octavian]

Are you autistic or something?

I'm on your side here... but that's a little harsh

 

[The XL]

Pretty much nobody is sympathetic to Russia. We're apathetic to them, we don't give a shit, they don't matter to the lives of the average American. They're not a threat to us, our corrupt politicians are the psychotic elites who own them are.

Yeah - also a huge concern. Basically a staring contest at this point. Ukraine absolutely cannot be the one to blink first.

Ok - totally agree with the bolded part... but why are these things mutually exclusive?

It's mind blowing that any American or Westerner could think there's nothing to worry about with a right wing autocratic regime running Russia, basically the biggest / second larger nuclear power in the world. LOL - what makes you think Russia would just stop at Ukraine and not seek to push this further? Imagine for a moment, we were dealing with Russia placing nukes near the US again and the US having to cede diplomatic ground to get Russia to back off.

To think the US can just be isolationist at this point is nuts. It doesn't mean we can't deal with the poverty and issues at home though.

 

[The XL]

That would be so fun. Being a soldier was the best time of my life. Being put on alert was a fucking thrill. That's when you could see exactly who is who.

Civilian life is for feminists.

The US has the highest military spending in the world by many multiples. When is the last time we won a war?
