Ukraine - Russia Conflict (Original Title: Things are heating up in the Donbass)

[Dr. Evil]

From Brandon March 13th:

"Before I took office, people were hurting and we had to act. We passed the American Rescue Plan without a single solitary Republican vote. Few pieces of legislation in our history have done more to lift the country out of a crisis."

Response:

Before you took office, gas prices were affordable.
Before you took office, we had an embassy in Afghanistan.
Before you took office, we weren't at war with Russia.
Before you took office, workers had jobs until your illegal vaccine mandate.
Life was better before you.

Historically once Ukrainian Nationalist leaders/politicians were gone, people lived peacefully together. Same culture, same religion and same language to the extent they understand each other no matter which language is spoken by them or to them.

They were living peacefully together just fine until Mr "The Soviet Union must rise again" got involved

Well companies still invest in China so….

When was the last time China nationalized the assets of a western company ?

The official word is they are in storage until the Biden administration arranges for transport to Ukraine. The administration refuses to comment.

"The weapons will be placed in storage "until we can get the American government to ship those weapons to the Ukraine," Blakeman said.

"We will collect them," he added. "President Biden, you get them there."

It’s unclear if shipping donated weapons to Ukraine will be possible. "

"The County has asked the Biden admin for help transporting," Blakeman's spokesman told Fox News Digital. "There are companies that can export weapons to foreign countries, but it takes a lot of time. That is why we have asked the president for help. We have not yet heard back."

So yeah. It's a safe bet.

The only thing Joe should be allowed to send them is a pile of shotguns with two rounds, each.

Guys.

Seriously.

Its for real. Stack it deep. Get what you can now. Prepare to the best of your abilities. Ww3 is a very real threat. I wasn't alive at the time but I genuinely would compare this to the cuban missile crisis. It's that real. It's one human error, screw up or idiotic politician away from a series of escalations that lead to WW3.

The decision has already been made. they have been moving in assets from across NATO. Its just a question of when.

China better check their shit, before they take on the world champions. I dont think they are any better than the Russians , maybe worse.

Way way worse when it comes to WW territory.

Their conventional forces might be able to hold off an invasion pretty well, and they might be able to do a better job taking Taiwain than the Russians are managing in Ukraine, but they do not have enough nukes for MAD.

They have enough to really really piss us off, but probably not enough to even fully collapse our government and economy.

Our response would be to completely depopulate their country.

I know doctrine is to only attack military targets, but if NY, LA, and DC got nuked, the American people would demand we erase any settlement larger than a hunting camp in their entire country, and there's nothing that could stop us.

Afghanistan harbored the guy who killed 3000 Americans, and we curb stomped their entire country for 2 decades. Imagine what we'd do over 50 million dead.

I was referencing that companies have invested in China only for China to steal their designs/intellectual property/technology/copyrights and then use it.

Pretty sure they steal that whether you invest or not.

From what I have been told that in order to do business in China you have to partner up with a Chinese company and share everything with them. Couple that with Chinese courts giving preference to Chinese companies when it comes to trademark infringement/copy right infringement/intellectual property etc. that’s why there’s so many Chinese knock offs of products, simply because it’s given to them and theirs no real penalties for doing so.

Before orange revolution and 2014 coup, both instigated by the West.

hey Nassau County Executive Bruce Blakeman .. in exchange can we get some 7.62x54R spam cans imported and some more M44's and 91/30's ??

Well, if they wipe the grift centers that gave us Biden and Hillary?

We might just thank them.

As long as FUAC, FUKH, FUJB, FUNP, FUCS, FUKH, etc. are in them at the time, I'll applaud and ask if Russia wants to have a party.

My fear is the Chinese simply don't care how many losses they take. History has shown communist dictatorships will gladly sacrifice millions of their own people in pursuit of political goals. This is especially true of china (great leap forward).

It can still be just a show of force--exactly what some people thought russia was doing before it invaded (obviously in that case it was not a bluff).

If Russia sees a six digit troop build up on the border and it knows a nato troop is equal to ten russian maybe it thinks long and hard about expending even more of its dwindling resources on this idiotic invasion.

Russia blames the west for everything but then cries when the west pulls its companies and money out. Don't worry, there is still plenty of vodka and onions to eat. Mother Russia will provide!

There is an entire military unit in China tasked with just that. Hacking into and stealing intellectual property.

They are not our friends, never have been. China isn't even China's friend and thinks nothing about imprisoning people for whatever the hell it wants. If they treat their own citizens like shit imagine how they see us. They have concentration camps right now. In 2022.

There's blood in the water. They smell weakness. They're looking for Any excuse. I think they are hoping/waiting for a Russian coup if possible where they can negotiate a Russian withdraw , without to much trouble. But if things get much worse for Ukraine they most likely will find a reason . Time is not on Russia's side.

This isn't even really a joke. Has anybody here seen Mad Max Fury Road and, if so, do you not see the similarities between Immorten Joe and Putin? In Mad Max Joe is a sickly despot who oversees his little empire of dirt. Many of his people live in horrific conditions. He does not care about them, and lies to them. But relishes their worship nonetheless. He cherishes what he sees as his property, and when that property (people) decide to leave he is so angry over it that he commits all of his fighters to a doomed quest. Along the way he gets himself and his allies caught in a literal quagmire and, at the end, dies.

POLAND sells out of consumer firearms and ammo after Russia invades Ukraine. (An interesting lesson)​

Guns are a bit of a sensitive topic in this sub but I thought I would share this anyway.

I currently live in Poland (have for the last 5 years) I've been patiently waiting to get my firearms license here but you need to be a permanent resident to do so. In July I would have been able to get a license and acquire firearms as my prerequisites would have been met. For the record, I have some firearms back in my home country and have always been pro-gun.

In preparation for getting my license, I created online accounts for just about all the online firearms stores that exist here, so I could see what they have on offer and keep up with pricing. Over the last 8 months, prices have gone up between 40-50% on all products, rifles, handguns, ammo, you name it.
