Thoughts about Ukraine?

[FoxtArt]

Politics are predatory. Russia has been testing the waters to make sure the response would be "nothing", and then attacked. They called our bluff.

What shouldve happened is we shouldve called their bluff. If we had inducted Ukraine into NATO in some emergency session, cleaved off the two separatist regions and let Russia have them, what would be the result? Some sabre rattling, but Russia wont risk a war vs. The world either, they wouldnt survive it. There would've been no war. Instead, Russia is using that principle to its advantage, not us, and nobody will intervene as Russia expands because they dont want a world war.

If it was apparent we would honor our word and our treaties, Russia would not invite its own doom either. An aggressive political posture often leads to more peace.

Outright announcing that you will 100% do nothing, does not. Predators attack prey that poses little to no risk of injury. A coyote wont attack a bull because it is likely to get fatally gored. They coexist peacefully.

Another note of interest, Russian trolling ops have specifically been trying to get trucker convoys started here. Any coincidence they start right as they invade the Ukraine? So many underestimate the scope of their influence in our social media.

RU is specifically targeting our supply chains. That is one if the easiest ways

Oh, nonsense. You're saying American truckers scheduled this based on when Russians told them to do it? I'm sure the Russians strategic plan certainly included "hey comrades, we should encourage a few dozen American truckers to drive cross country at the same time we invade Ukraine! Yeah, that'll increase our likelihood of total control two fold! It'll crush the Americans!" What an outlandish claim.

We don't underestimate their influence, you regularly give them WAY, WAY too much credit for the scope of influence they actually have. With zero evidence. How many of these groups do you actually follow on social media? Are you a member of any of these groups on social media? Are you on social media at all? You've seen sketchy social media accounts making posts in the social media groups egging them on?

There are Americans that have been working to get this going since the beginning of the pandemic. It didn't pick up steam until they saw what happened in Canada. Most of the convoys scheduled it to arrive in DC around the SOTU. Yup, those real Americans organizing these groups, giving radio and TV interviews, standing in front of the crowds at gathering points and giving speeches...they are Russian bots. Gotcha.

You've posted a lot of asinine shit over the years, but this one takes the cake. Sure, its a "coincidence" that a US trucker convoy got started here after one happened in Canada ... or are the Ruskies behind that one too?

Only thing missing out of that "theory" he posted is

So, are the truckers going to hire Russian prostitutes to pee on brandons bed? This is starting to get confusing...

The US could just gift Ukraine small portable nuclear weapons. The Russian armored columns heading to the capital city would definitely be halted by this countermeasure. There could be no argument that these nuclear weapons were offensive in nature. They are not ICBM's etc.

Wow. Don't know if ya'll have seen the video of a guy's car getting crushed by some sort of armored vehicle (APC or tank or something), but apparently he lived.
