Unless they plan to drop some bombs over our heads I don’t see how WW3 with the US involved would result in better accomodations for the ruzzians.
I’m a lazy gunless asshole typing away from my couch. But if some grade a asshole from ruzzia came to bother me, I probably could easily run downstairs and grab any one of many power tools capable of removing ruzzians body parts.
I believe the Ukrainian defense is going to kick ruzzians ass pretty good. Hopefully soon we’ll see putin coming out of a smokey hole in the ground on a grainy YouTube video. putin is the real reason for the war. Removing him might bring up a few more people like him, but those can be removed since the public won’t be behind them.
A few things
-
Nobody has the force projection necessary to invade the US, nobody even builds their military with that goal in mind.
-
WWIII doesn’t have to involve Russians going into your house for the US not to be unaffected, while we are a net food exporter, the majority of that is animal feed. We import most of the food you see in grocery stores, tons of parts for our power grid, refineries, and other vital infrastructure is imported too. The Yemen is managing to shut down US-aligned shipping off their coast with drones and missiles, despite getting indiscriminately bombed with US bombs and planes for a decade.
-
Occupations suck for the guys getting occupied. Iraq allowed 1 machine gun per family. Do you think the Iraqis had a good time when we occupied them?
-
Nukes.
Also nontraditional warfare that has technically been seen but not really (at least in an officially acknowledged way, maybe something like stuxnet?) like offensive cyber warfare. If things truly came to trading blows russia does have very talented cyber espionage folks and the us has shown many times that it has pretty shocking vulnerabilities on many critical points of cyber infrastructure. these probably haven’t been attacked because it would be a literal act of war to go after the power grid, weapons systems, water delivery systems, etc but if the gloves come off then you better believe these systems start getting attacked by state sponsored actors who will never come anywhere near american land

“We are now confirming once again that playing with fire—and they are like small children playing with matches—is a very dangerous thing for grown-up uncles and aunts who are entrusted with nuclear weapons in one or another Western country.”
So countries with nuclear capabilities should be more responsible and perhaps not invade their neighboring countries? 🤔
Well, a direct invasion of the US is a bad option and the world knows this.
The problem is with Russia is state controlled media. If Putin was eliminated, the world probably wouldn’t know for at least a week and that would give their media enough time to tell the public who else they should like instead. It wouldn’t surprise me if there is a pre-recorded video of Putin “stepping down” or “retiring”.
If you have ever watched Russian state media, you will see they are probably worse than the Ministry of Truth. Their panel discussions are disgusting, actually. Four or five different people, with four or five different “views” that all converge on the same exact points: West evil, Putin god, Russia war machine invinsible, Russians have the best society on earth, everyone else is a nazi.
(I don’t want to exclude the rest of the worlds media either. Most major outlets have their own agendas for sure, but Russians probably get the most blatant version. They don’t even hide it.)
Russia state media sounds exactly like China’s state media lol
My grands really loves this show on China central television called Cross-Strait (海峽兩岸) that they will invite “unbiased” Taiwan experts how bad the current Taiwan Government is, how bad US is, how China has better military power to Taiwan, and how close the reunion is getting
Everything except for the Taiwan reunification getting closer is pretty hard to disagree with though, the US might end up making it happen much sooner than expected, just not in a way that’s favorable to anyone involved.
In the long term, reunification is pretty inevitable; just by virtue of the US being a failing empire, china will eventually offer them a deal so much better than what the west can offer that it won’t be refused.
China won’t offer a deal; currently in China it is really heavily promoted on China’s own social media for a war towards Taiwan to “leave the island but no one will be survived” ( 留島不留人) while promoting to the foreign country that peace is the only way to handle conflict
I can only assume that is directed to American troops on Taiwan, since the Taiwan residents are still PRC citizens.
No, they are targeting on every Taiwanese people that includes normal citizens. And you said “Taiwan residents are PRC citizens”, lol do you even know Chinese/Taiwan politics?
That seems unlikely, what exactly are they trying to reunify with? A few rocks and beaches in the pacific ocean?
Resources. Also to Xi, this is a really important milestone that he actually wants to do while he is still at the place.
The Russian economy is very soon going to completely collapse. They have nothing to prevent this. All indicators are pointing to this. Massive inflation, Ruble and Trade isolation on the world market. No one wants anything to do with them and they are pretty much broke. Soon. I just saw a video of a captured Russian Veteran soldier talking about all of the contraband AK guns being wrapped up in the body bags to be sent back. It’s all about making money on the black market, so the reversion to Soviet times is becoming real again. The crime wave after the war is going to be bad. On top of internal social degradation, they will be isolated and will prey upon themselves to survive and exploit the carcass of what is left for the remaining future. I believe that, as a foreign power, they are done.
Perhaps Mad Max was just a future prediction of Russia.
Given how completely dogshit the rest of ruzzian military is, I wouldn’t be surprised if their arsenal of nuclear weapons was shit too. I can confidently bet that before a single nuke was fired from them, they would be completely obliterated.
Now sure if Russia + few shithole countries are really up for WW3, unless everybody lets nukes fly.
The only gun problem we have in the US is not enough of them.
An armed society is a polite society.
Uvalde had how many cops, idk if that’s really true.
The secret is to not let the state have a monopoly on violence. We can’t recognize a problem with the police AND let them be the only ones with the means to enact change…
It’s just the usual shit talking, small dick energy saber rattling. Russia likes mind games, they wouldn’t engage in disinformation campaigns otherwise.
