Fuck that. He can get out of any corner he’s put into by simply ceasing aggression. But as long as he’s the aggressor, he should be met with great vengeance, and furious anger.

So if America had threatened Vietnam or Afghanistan wth nukes, everyone should have just let America do what it wants?

Nuclear states must not allow other nuclear states to conduct nuclear blackmail. If they do, everyone now needs nukes and nonproliferation is dead.

They’re hardly in a corner. They could stop invading and broker a peace deal at any time.

• Russia invades Ukraine

Tankies: how could the USA do this?!?!!!one!!1

Go cry somewhere else vatnik

Categorically, 100%, the US puppeted Ukraine provoked the war

ever thought about why ukraine is fine with being a “us puppet”?

also how did they start the war? russia anexed krimea in 2014, so they started it

Even if you have a different false opinion, Russia agrees with my statement

“everyone disagreeing with me is wrong”

also: russia investigates russia and finds out russia did nothing wrong

It is stupid to wage war on Russia

so if they’re gonna be destroyed anyway why not fight? also: should russia not fight back if let’s say sibiria was anexed by the us? I mean the us got the largest military in the world and the most allies, so why bother?

Inflation, and a Russian economic shift to support its own existence while casually pretending our own economies are fine.

the west may be doing badly, but we didn’t have to close the banks

Nuclear strikes on any US global base, or Air carrier fleet is not a missile headed for US that requires launching 1000s in return.

ok, what do you want to tell me with that? should russia be allowed to attack any country only because they allow the us to have military installations on their territory?

Cheering on the US escallation, that was not used for any Ukrainian strategic advantage/survival such as a Kursk withdrawal, is cheering for your rulers to suicide you.

war is always suicide for the individual, and you can’t really say they do strategic nonsense, because if they did ukraine wouldn’t exist anymore

US economy is on the edge of collapse

please elaborate, I’d like to know your basis for that assumption

Forcing Russia to destroy US economy/sustainability

you clearly overestimate russia my friend, also before that happens the us would either pull out, or send troops to russia, which would be the end of russia, not the us

lol “false opinion”…post is irrelevant.

Russia agrees with my statement, and Russia’s opinion is all that is relevant to Russia policy.

So even if Ukraine actually did instigate this war, which I firmly hold is total bullshit, it wouldn’t matter according to your logic because Russia was going to do whatever it wanted anyway. On that basis, either countries stand up to Russia at some point or Russia blackmails its way into owning the entire world.

Even if you think that Euromaidan was 100% CIA orchestrated and done directly to turn Ukraine against Russia - obviously not necessary since Ukraine was already favouring Europe, that’s what the entire drama was about - Russia didn’t think it was necessary to even see what the outcome was before deciding that Crimea looked awfully nice and undefended. If you think that Ukraine’s trade arrangements count as the opening move of an actual war, I don’t know what to say to you

It is stupid to wage war on Russia

Russia has lost plenty of wars. It lost WW1. It lost in Afghanistan when it was the much bigger and stronger Soviet Union. Twice. It lost against Japan. It lost the Crimean War. You know there’s more of history than WW2 and Napoleon, right?

And either way, it’s not like Russia left Ukraine with much of a choice, is it? Or are we falling back on round two of “Russia gets to blackmail anyone into anything”?

1. Citation Needed
2. Who is waging war on Russia? I thought this was a special military operation initiated by Russia?
3. When did the US threaten to initiate a nuclear strike in response to a non-nuclear event?
4. 11/10 score for a perfect landing in the mental gymnastics category.

Why are WE the ones afraid of consequences? Why should the so-called “mightiest nation on Earth” be the one that cowers whenever someone makes nuclear threats? Didn’t we used to lead the world in creating fear of our military and our nuclear weapons?

I don’t get how the right in particular treats the USA like a mighty jugger- nah I can’t even frame my rhetorical thought, we all know that Russia is deeply involved in shaping the opinions and attitudes of our country’s dumbest fuckwads.

Otherwise we might as well hand him all of Europe on a silver platter.

And sadly I believe that a lot of Americans would prefer isolationism and are fine with this, as they’d get to cut military spending.

Of course, Europeans buy American goods and vice versa. If Russia ruled over all of Europe, Putin could just stop all trade with the US as a giant middle finger.
