Biden is a lame duck president with NO PUBLIC MANDATE and subterranean approval rating, he got ousted by his own party before the election for being mentally incapacitated, his defense against a Justice Department inquiry is he’s too old and senile, his party just got BTFO in a national election. No NATO or NATO proxies have ever launched long range missiles into Russia in living memory. How is this guy fit for office
STOP EATING CRAYONS AND DO YOUR FUCKING JERB. “Senile old man sends young people to WW3 out of spite”
I can’t even imagine what any of them are thinking. Many of them lived through the entire Nuclear age. I can only assume they’re so high on their own supply they just can’t imagine Washington disappearing in a flash of hot light and hard radiation.
They’re calling Russia’s bluff. That’s what they’re thinking. They’re betting Russia wouldn’t dare to escalate into a nuclear war, and they’d be right (most of the time), because no sane country would want that.
Yeah well up until Russia stops being sane, like the gerontocratic West has. For example, by assassinating Putin and having someone far more extreme take power.
I don’t think we’re getting out of this one. This is the end of the line.
Well let’s see who will eventually win this bet: Biden or you.
Hate to say it but I genuinely suspect Biden might turn out to be right.
I fucking hope Biden is right considering what the alternative is.
Many of them lived through the entire Nuclear age.
That’s just it though, considering that they are the leaders of a giant death cult, many of them probably feel like they got shortchanged when the USSR fell without any nuclear armageddon, not even a little bit. This could be Biden’s last chance for the Christmas he always really wanted.
I’ve also wondered this. The generation that was promised they would all die in nuclear armageddon so they treated the planet and everyone and everything as if all life was going away anyway not being denied their just deserts.
This also makes the whole Huckabee choice much more foreboding…
I would be less worried if I lived in DC than if I lived in Poland or Germany or god-forbid Kiev. Ukraine manages to get a big bomb into Krusk and Russia retaliates with a fuck-off armed ballistic missile into one of those guys.
“Since Biden is a lame duck and the Republicans are about to take control anyway, I sure wish he’d just use his power to solve global warming once and for all!”
Monkey’s Paw curls
If we have nuclear winter and wipe out humanity global warming will be solved
Sentinel Island Natives full on
Unfortunately they’re definitely fucked, there’s already been decades of overfishing in the Andaman Islands
Sorry but the Parliamentarian said no, so we’re getting WWIII.
This is like the assholes who made their guys fight to the last minute before the armistice in wwi
That was actually good, according to the very serious “anarchists” and “leftists” in this thread

Andross from Star Fox is our president

Brat nuclear winter, baby!
Bro is beseeching the legislature 😭
What would happen if in responce Russia blew up some trucks at an IDF base.
please god let this happen it would be so fucking funny
You have to understand, Joe just really likes genocide and nuclear annihilation is the biggest genocide there is
congress is doing its job: making money off of military company insider trading
Are they trying to escalate it so much that Trump can’t withdraw? Not that Trump would even get to decide one way or the other. Or that he even wants to.
Who cares.
It’s a weapon that Ukraine has, they’re at war, it’s not a nuke, it ethically doesn’t matter whether they made it themselves or received it as a gift*, of course they’re going to shoot it at a target in the country that destroyed their infrastructure and turned part of their countryside into a no-man’s-land and is occupying places they lived just 3 years ago.
If you wanna get mad at American weapons being used overseas in illegal wars, there are plenty being dropped on defenseless people, out of Israeli aircraft, every single day.
The weapons require command and control by NATO personnel, and guidance by NATO satellites. NATO is actively participating in an attack on Russian soil, using Ukraine as a buffer. This is a massive deal for anyone that does not want to die in nuclear hellfire. Russia has responded to this escalation by unveiling a previously not known to exist Conventional Prompt Strike (CPS) weapon, in an Intermediate Range Ballistic Missile called “Oreshnik”, with Multiple Re-entry Vehicle and/or cluster warheads that can strike all of Europe, striking a weapons factory in Ukraine with this weapon yesterday. Again, this is a big deal for anyone that does not want to live in Posadas’ version of the future.
The modern Holocaust the US government is committing in Gaza doesn’t have anything to do with whether the Banderite neonazi regime they installed in Ukraine is bad.
Before this war kicked off properly they were regularly shelling and sending Nazi death squads after civilians, why would you not be mad at that? Why would you want them to be able to remotely bomb civilians in Russia?
Posting any Russia related news outside the news mega really brings out all the chauvinist shitheads on this site don’t it?
Don’t you have a cave to crawl back to from last year or so, where you can celebrate bloodshed of civilians without contagion?
Talk about bad faith. whatever you need to tel yourself as you fail your revolutionary defeatism and fall into imperialist intrigue
It just falls into the rest of the umbrella of “war is war” to me. There’s nothing wrong with a war being two-sided.
Ukrainians are already the victims of weapons like this. Russian authorities have already targeted apartment buildings and other civilian targets, including knocking out water and electricity for millions. Half or more of the Ukrainian people are going to be plunged into poverty for decades, because of geopolical forces they can’t control.
Sure, defending the Donbass is good. But that doesn’t make this a black-and-white conflict, and certainly doesn’t mean 20 million people should suffer because the pro-peace candidate they supported (cf. Poroshenko) was twisted onto the warpath.
So your response is to support the actions of the imperialists? This is where you ultras always go fully off the rails. You get so wrapped up in your purity you somehow manage to spin it around to support the US again, what a coincidence
I’m not supporting the actions of the imperialists, I’m downplaying how important they are and how big of a deal should be made of them.
It would be foolish to believe that weapons transfer was not part of the calculation.
Social chauvinist
Ukraine isn’t using it, American personnel are. This is America shooting missiles directly at Russia, qualitatively changing the conflict from a proxy war to a direct war.

Copying this out because you’re known to move the goalposts and ignore anytime it gets pointed out.
Ukrainian military personnel are not firing the missiles? American personnel deployed in Ukraine are? Or are American personnel firing the rockets from a NATO base? Either way, you’re saying that the article and its details are a total fabrication- no “authorization” would need to be given to Ukraine if it were American personnel firing the rockets.
Yes American personnel are the only ones who can operate this technology. It is Joe Biden pushing the button to launch a close range missile strike into Russia. Sorry you love imperialists so much you refuse to accurately describe them, but that’s a you problem.
NATO personnel are also operating Patriot SAMs and other NATO equipment throughout Ukraine. If you doubt this you are beyond naive

we need to ban the usage of ‘WW3’
[this user supports Russia but does not think they’re gonna start firing off nukes anytime soon - happy to be proved wrong but I don’t think anyone on Hexbear.net has their eyes on Putin’s nuclear briefcase]

How do you people find your way here?
The fediverse can be confusing, especially for people brain damaged enough to be liberal.
Why would you oppose telling a neoliberal to eat shit?
A liberal who is ranting off topic about Putler is who you wanna go to bat to defend eh?
I mean it’s war don’t pretend like there are rules. You invade someone they shoot whatever they have at you.
Yes, with your own capabilities, as Ukraine has done up until now with drone attacks, in which they are fully in control of. These long range NATO weapons, in ATACMS and Storm Shadow/SCALP, require NATO personnel to input the targeting information. In other words, NATO military members are directly particating in an attack against Russia within Russia’s internationally recognised borders. That is a massive escalation.
Why are you so pro-Ukrainian and pro-imperialist in the implications of your comments? Why don’t you say what you mean with your full chest instead of weaseling around the edges?
For someone who is beyond partisan, neutrality looks like bias
If you are so confident in your neutrality and correctness, why do you use an alt to post in controversial threads every couple weeks and that’s it? Why not post on main? I always post on main because I’m always on the correct side, the anti-imperialist side, and I have no shame and no need to conceal my views.
Some people have a life you know. Keep simping for your favorite neoliberal I guess
Your entire comment history is just shitheaded liberalism after shitheaded liberalism. Denying that the west genocides Muslims and Arabs, gleefully gloating over Palestinians mourning and Iranian leaders being assassinated, getting all riled up about Putler. It’s just a cavalcade of complete western NATOid nonsense and inappropriate disrespectful chauvinism. You are pathetic
Yes you are so above it all. Imperialism? Anti-imperialism? It’s all so beneath you, the one true western leftist who judges all mankind
