I'm such a linear thinker that I always thought war was bad. Guess this is why I'm not in politics.

US is playing 4D chess, at least it seems at times. China opens up for foreign investment this year and Europe was going to be all in. Get Putin to invade Ukraine and China automatically side with Russkies and European investment plan stopped in matter of weeks. Never has seen all policies turn 180 that quick.

Then throw Xinjiang and Taiwan in to create more FUD. Raise rate and money flees and everyone is heading into a recession and all BRI allies have either failing or failed.
It's not about building a better world, it's about someone else having a bigger shithole than we do.

Let that sink in.
How many mOnKeYPoX does Ukraine have?
That's the new benchmark
Looks like NATO changing its tune, and conceding that Ukraine will lose territory to get peace. https://then24.com/2022/06/13/nato-s...ade-for-peace/
Interesting. Current CIA director William Burns told us this in 2008 https://wikileaks.org/plusd/cables/08MOSCOW265_a.html
USA now beginning to regret seizing Russian Billionaire yachts.
Just like seizing a horse, the maintenance on seizing a boat is astronomical in raw dollars maintenance. If not maintained, it pretty much rots to zero dollar value pretty quickly. Billionaires don't get yachts as assets, they are luxurious liabilities.
Surely they must have known by the hundreds of thousands of dollars needed to move an aircraft carrier one mile.

I'm not picking sides but the president of Ukraine doing propaganda video calls with UofC students?!

Looks like it was this was this morning.
Kind of strange that Zelensky speaks through a translator when he apparently speaks English.

This is how I see this going:
1) Russia continues to slowly make gains in the East. They may completely occupy the Donbass soon, after which time they will probably dig in the "border" defenses.
2) The rest of the military aid arrives, which will allow Ukraine to slow or stop the Russian advance any further - should Russia try.
3) With the help of the aid, Ukraine pummels the held Eastern regions resulting in even more attrition on both sides.
4) Over time, the world will become desensitized to the war and will not supply Ukraine with the weapons they need to keep the fight going.
5) Ukraine resorts to using guerilla tactics, and the area remains destabilized for years - while Russia tries to remove their troops and backfill with newly trained and equipped DPR and LPR forces.
I'm ahead of things as I've been desensitized all along.

There's no more aid. They need manpower. Their million man army (with reserves and people forced to fight) has been pummeled. Many don't want to fight at all, realizing that Ukraine right wing is the real enemy.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
Russian prison camps can only hold so many. Pretty soon "the west" will be forced to send aid to Russia to feed the tens of thousands of prisoners.

Man, they must have agreed to sell Turkey the GOOD shit if they went along with it. Turkey selling american arms to the chinese to reverse engineer is more of a threat then Russia is.

Have to bring NASA into this because all NASA facilities in the USA are primary nuke targets, along with aircraft carriers in the ocean.
NASA has its roots in Nazi, some say that the roots never ended and is still primarily a Nazi organization today. If Putins primary argument is pushing out Nazi, no doubt NASA is a primary target should and after he defeats Ukraine.
I get the feeling they have already been practicing nuke drills at many NASA facilities already. But there is really now way to know as an Asian. I'm still guessing that they are getting paid $150K per year to polish mirrors with Q-tips.
If Putin wants to nuke NASA, I'm pretty neutral on it - go right ahead. It definitely is possible they are creating some sort of StarWars death ray there.
Side note: There are some tin foil hats that say that the USA turned the scientific Nazis into indentured servant slaves to NASA. Take away their rocket factories (equivalent to Raytheon) put them in chains, with the only saving grace that they were allowed to live. If that is the true history, then I'm not sure were I would stand on nuking NASA - assuming it was simply a penal colony for the most heinous criminals in modern history.
