Better archive this one boys because I have a feeling this stuff will age like fine wine that Henry the VII had in his private reserve.
so ww3 it is…
So that means either trump or Putin will.
Nobody has any intention of building a wall
Trump is the same imperialist like Putin, U.S. is the same imperialist like Russia.
Putin is deranged but I thought even he knew he already bit more than he could chew when attacking Ukraine. But now the orange says this and I fear Putin will go full crash out on Europe.
Now we’re fucked
Russia is already attaching NATO with hybrid warfare. Russia wants to destabilize Europe as european countries are helping Ukraine defence against Russia.
Russia is not attaching Europe militarily, but attaching the European institutions to make Europe incapable to act, extend influence and defend itself. And China is helping as they have the same objective.
Trump: “Putin personally promised me that he wouldn’t attack NATO. And I believe him”
Putin: busy attacking NATO through assassinations, covert sabotage, armed drones and cyberwarfare
There are some interesting predictions from Metaculus, a prediction aggregation platform:
That thing is just a betting platform, isn’t it?
Not really. It’s a forecasting platform. It weights the forecasts based on previous success of forecasters. So when people have forecasted something well in past it is more probable that they will forecast it well also now.
It harnesses the wisdom of the crowds. Obviously not infallible, but that’s why the chances are percentages.
donald trump says a lot of shit. donald trump likes to talk.
I mean, has this man ever told a single lie?
now i am worried
Even if Russia attacks NATO, umm…what will Putin get out of it? He’s already preoccupied in Ukraine. He had to recall contingents of Russian mercenaries from Africa to fight in Ukraine. He has trouble keeping his vassal states from fighting each other because there are no Russian troops to keep them in line. His economy is starting to shake. The war is unpopular among Russians even if they don’t admit it openly. And of course, the mobilisation is a very delicate topic that will instantly turn any pro- or Putin tolerant Russians into vehemently anti-Putin ones. Needless to say, he will be stretching Russian resources and patience in vain attempt to stoke his ego.
Attacking NATO directly will accelerate Russian decline even further. So, even though I get that we should be prepared for any possibilities, it’s way stupider of Putin to even seriously consider attacking NATO.
Even if Russia attacks NATO, umm…what will Putin get out of it?
Return on investment. Russia hasn’t switched to war economy for nothing. War economy is unsustainable unless you invade and pillage rich countries, and Ukraine isn’t one
Even if Russia attacks NATO, umm…what will Putin get out of it?
It would be a big issue for EU. It’s economy is on the verge of recession and attack on any member would most likely cause EU wide disruptions and economic slowdown. Russia is very dependent on China now so the questions is: what would China get out of economic troubles in EU? And the answer is “a lot”.
He forgot to say which year of territory boundaries he meant. Can Trump remember the time after 1989 and does Putin want to remember it too?
That means they gonna totally do it guys
Sigh oookay, expecting to be recalled into service any day now…
