idk the market certainly is not reacting well to this

plus we can f*** w each other on gas/energy

i cant even see a friendship with russia being necessarily bad for elites

In short

For the sake of not increasing the chances of nuclear holocaust, let's not push for a country that's in a territorial dispute with one of the biggest nuclear powers on earth to join a military alliance with several other nuclear powers.. agree?

capitalism is competition. Western oligarchs are in competition with Russian oligarchs over influences over their own resources. There's no motivation for friendship when there's lots of room for economic opportunity. What we're seeing is simply the political manifestation of it

Russia + China vs. NATO huh

Rumbling when

Woulda been China vs NATO + Russia if the US empire wasn't so STOOPID

Look at the speech he gave ~30 minutes ago, he's thinking about expansion not defense

We really going to war for the most nationalistic country lol

Expanding where, Ukraine? They were soundly in the Russian sphere until 2014. Whatever he’s doing with them isn’t expansive in any realistic sense. He’s still attempting to establish border security

Not me tho ima be on my ali shyt

Does putins decision to acnowledge those republics change anything?

It's Ukraine vs Russia assuming anything does happen

US won't be fighting. We pulled all our troops out of Ukraine

Is that true though? Because I had seen Biden making threats and saying that if Russia invaded the US will act to decide the best course of action

It definitely raises tensions but nothing immediate

Which is just more sanctions

Man putin really going full madman smfh

Ah gotcha

Yeah Ukraine sorry fam but y’all gotta deal with this on y’all own

They’ve been crazy and have been itching to use their military so let them do whatever they want tbh

I just hope this doesnt escalate but the way these mfers been moving it screams that they want war

From what I've seen and idk much

The route for US UK and all of them is severe sanctions if this escalates further

Pulling the plug on Nord Stream 2 will be the biggest one that will f*** up both EU and Russia

I can just say I’m a communist to avoid my draft lol

COMMIE PRIVILEGE

Crimea was Sudetenland. Poland incoming.
Policy of appeasement all over again

Thats not what Ukraine thinks tho. Just like the Baltic states

Is it possible for citizens to just not go to war?

Like really who gives af about this in America?

Same for Russian troops. Do any of those guys want to die for Ukraine?
