Oh yeah. I’ve seen this one. Classic episode.

I have been wondering since this war started, what’s preventing China from just taking ALL of Russia. Like, 2021? That’s Russia. 2025? That’s China now.

Russia would never threaten China with nukes, because 1) China ALSO has nukes, and 2) China has been the only thing keeping Russia afloat recently.

So what if something like 9,000,000 soldiers all collectively invaded Russia from one central entrypoint as far east as Chinas border is along Russias, thus splitting Russias military in a two way war.

The United States wouldn’t get involved because that would mean they’re helping Russia. But also, who else WOULD get involved? Putin is lucky that China doesn’t have ME as it’s head of state. Because from my perspective, it’s free real estate that nobody wants to defend, being occupied by a tiger army, and it’s land is full of resources that if China were to monopolize, would grant them a grip around the balls of the rest of the world.

But it would have to be a scorched earth kind of invasion. The kind that pisses off basically everyone, because it leaves every single Russian, military, or citizen, dead. They’d have to come in, take everything, and kill everything. Take the land. The only thing they have to make sure of, is that they DON’T fight Ukraine. They tell Ukraine “We won’t invade your space, but Russia is ours”. And Ukraine would probably take that deal.

But it seems China is very VERY averse to war right now. Which tells me, they aren’t ready for a war.

The SECOND Russia uses nukes, it’s OVER. Russia’s entire existence ceases to exist, as EVERY country will nuke Russia. It won’t be WWIII.

WWIII would imply two set of countries of roughly equal might, and each side has several countries fighting together.

This would be more like EVERYBODY vs Russia. And they wouldn’t last more than a few days.

Source is relevant.

Well…I took Biden at his word. I thought him having actual empathy meant he could empathize with Ukrainian mothers losing their sons. I thought the goal was to bring the war to an fnd without causing WWIII. I thought it was a balancing act.

But now I see no balancing act. I just see a never ending war, played like a game, with human lives as the game pieces. Thrown around like monopoly money. But these people are actual real people. Having their home invaded by a ruthless dictator who claims to be anti-nazi, but is legitimately the modern day hitler.

I guess I’m just disappointed in my country for treating war like a game, and ignoring the death tally.

I’m at a point where I’m starting to think USA doesn’t want Ukraine to “win” the war, just “fight the war indefinately”. They don’t want either side to lose, but they want Ukraine to look on top.

Is this like the time my mom said “Grandpa doesn’t have much time to live. LOL” because she thought it stood for “Lots Of Love”?

Stop making me sad with the truth.

Soooooooo, does it not then make sense to sanction India on selling oil? Make it essentially a net zero gain, and thus not worthwhile?

Yes…that was the joke.

I mean, sure. When you have the world by the balls because you produce nearly 100% of all the worlds goods, what are you going to do? Say no?

How about human rights? What’s their record with that?

"In a half mile, turn right…

At the MC Escher painting, take the next upside down left down the stairs."

“Ok guys, the theater war thats been happening for the past 23 years has finished the third act. Now we shift to the real deal.”

Thats my takeaway from that headline.

Great that you have a catch drive. I assume the data drive manages everything. So I’m going to call that the manager drive.

Now you just need:

A 1st base drive.

A 2nd base drive.

A 3rd base drive.

A shortstop drive.

A left Field drive.

A center field drive.

A right field drive.

About 3-4 starting drives

A half dozen reliever drives.

A closer drive.

A hittch coach drive

And a couple of base running coach drives!

Got yourself a baseball team!

See, I’m torn. I don’t want russia to have ANY money at all.

…but I DO also hate nestle.

Imagine how much the russian captives will wreck the russian culture. Here the general population is led to believe that Ukraine are the bad guys, and savage brutes, who kill and torture their POWs.

Then they come back, and claim to be treated better in captivity than they ever were living in russia in daily life. They get shown what western life is like. Then they come back to russia and get thrown back into daily life where the populace is exploited.

I don’t claim to know the future, but I wouldn’t be surprised if these former POWs were killed by their government for sharing truths, or alternatively, if some of these former POWs become revolutionaries in their own country seeking change for the common man. How sucsessful they are only time will tell.
