They’re heading for a defeat anyway… other than nuking Ukraine, declaring war and trying to swamp the defenders with conscripts is his last card.

Good luck to those conscripts, given the stuff I’ve read about how much active and useable weaponry and armour Russia has already committed to this shit show.

The veil from some of these tankies on twitter is so thin

It's easy to see where this is coming from after Iraq and Afghanistan. Those countries got tons of Western support and were supposed to have used it to build up a serious military but it crumbled instantly when faced with an enemy.
Russia also seemed to be way more powerful then it turned out to be, I remember the images from the Crimea takeover with the masked Russian troops with modern gear versus the helpless looking Ukrainian forces.

Add eight years of news on Russian military expansion, the only news from Ukraine being about corruption, a comedian elected president who seemed desperate to avoid conflict and it all seemed pretty hopeless for Ukraine. For some that was a reason for immense joy, another defeat for the West and what happened to the Ukrainians was completely irrelevant.

Some pro-Kremlin sites are still predicting a collapse of Ukraine is imminent, as it was on day one, but also whine about Western arms propping up their enemy who should have been defeated months ago.

Yeah its transparent. Its partisan politics bleeding into a black and white issue. It's ridiculous that politics are so divided these days that some idiots cannot even agree on something this simple.

Tankies started a channel on yt called the gravel institute in an attempt to counter prager, and they’re predicating putins lies about the war lol.

Why do both altrighters and tankies love Russia so much? I don’t get it.

It rather looks like those dead set against the west’s measured and pretty decent response to this war (especially a couple of countries in particular) are starting to get a bit desperate.

They think the "centrists" have won a victory on Twitter, so they have to counterattack viciously so as not to appear weak. As always, they are no marks who are playing themselves.

I would not like to be his surgeon. He have almost literally the future of humanity in his hands.

A lot of things could happen if something bad happens to Putin...

Russia is apparently going to try and use other CSTO countries to try and bypass the sanctions. I hope the west planned for something like this and have some kind of response in the works, any country that assists Russia needs to be isolated in the same way

Well, Well, well... Not saying something could happen to him during surgery, but from my understanding he will give the power to another guy who is more crazy.

Putin to undergo cancer surgery soon, says unofficial sources

As much as I'd like to believe it, this one reeks too much of wishful thinking. There'll be plenty of rumors of this nature because people need to feel like there's some kind of karma or natural order that will resolve this mess rather than facing the current reality that a ego on a legacy building ego trip is in charge of a world super-power and a world ending supply of nukes.

Really long but good overview of the whole situation.

I don’t know which side that it going to be. If forced to guess, I’d probably pick whichever one still makes stuff more tangible than financial derivatives and isn’t run by a gerontocracy. But it’s hard to say. And besides, I think there is another very possible outcome to consider as an alternative scenario: that neither Leviathan nor Behemoth manages to “win” the next crisis. That instead each power center performs badly, and Nemesis butchers them all.

In this future the newly lopsided bipolar world precipitated by chance events in Eastern Europe doesn’t take off for long. Instead global economic crisis helps shatter the global order, fracturing everything from major international relationships, to internal social and political systems, to potentially even current national borders. Supranational and multinational organizations are largely discredited. Globalization goes well into reverse; Larry Fink deploys a golden parachute and retires. No country is left strong enough to play hegemon for some time, and we enter a century of struggle. Instead of a global order we end up with global chaos.

Aren't we rooting for something bad to happen? Also how do we know it is even true?



Too bad we lost a couple of the descendants of these chumps just recently, they were really adding new and important ideas to the conversation

funny these are actual people protesting Russia in the US. Look a lot like the left.

That was an excellent read, really thorough analysis of the geopolitical fuckup that was invading Ukraine and how it not only strengthen the west but also simultaneously fucked over China, he really should've listened to his old buddy Winnie the Poo
