couldnt care less
People are dying
People have been dying for a whole lot less
On average, 1.8 people die every second. So yes, people are indeed dying.
.
I have family in both countries so it’s hard to not care for me personally.
I just hope you realize that your indifference does not make you cool or aloof. It just shows how much you take for granted living in the west never having faced an existential threat in your life.
It's designed to not be a war. I think it's dirty, but it's smart realpolitik. It's ambiguous enough to be excusable. The plugged in people will know, the rest of the world won't care.
What makes you think it's ambiguous? It seems like Russian troops are everywhere now and they're not holding back.
I think China may invade Taiwan in the upcoming months depending on how NATO / US respond to the Russian invasion.
I personally don't think we'll see a 3rd World War anytime soon but this can be a catalyst for a 2nd Cold War.
I'm hoping the US military isn't called in to get involved on the ground but as we saw in the Cold War, we couldn't help ourselves but get involved in a long bloody Vietnam War in which we knew we had no chance at winning.
I just want to make it known, WSO took down the original post on this, my post, with 100+ comments and good discussion. They said it violated the guidelines. I asked why and still haven’t heard back. Disappointed in WSO for that. Censorship of war talk?
I tried finding your thread and when I did it said Unauthorized access smh
Yup, all of a sudden last night it froze on me and gave me the same screen error message. Than I check my inbox and wso gave me some bullshit that it violated guidelines but didn’t tell me why. I thought we were safe on here for candid open discussions but I guess we’re not. It’s disappointing, I really enjoyed this blog
I saw that too. The mods took down my post a week back asking people what they thought Russia would ultimately do
No response. Makes 0 sense
I’m about to make a thread just calling out Pat, I don’t understand how that violated guidelines or why that was taken down
If Biden acts weak, China will take over Taiwan, which will be the end of democracy because all of our talk about freedom will be bs when we bow down and let them control our speech so that we can buy cheap shit
There are two options as it stands, either sanctions and support to Ukraine/Taiwan or boots on the ground, and the second one is extremely risky. Do we really want a full on conventional war with a nuclear power?
Broad sanctions don't work. It's just PR. G7 need to freeze Putins bank accounts and assets globally. Putin has billions hidden in trading companies.
The only way we can counter China is to create an America's New Deal from Canada to South America for resource exploration and manufacturing. We'll at the mercy of bad state actors until we get our act together
Short of that, you'll witness the end to freedom and democracy as the US let China take over Asia and force us to bowdown just so we buy cheap shit from them.
Force all businesses that want to sell to the US to diversify their supply chain away from China!
Please comment on the thread I made public condemning and asking for questions as to why my original thread was taken down
LOL typical 20 year old who consumes too much junk media. WSO censors, Russia invades, but blame CHYna lol.
Current understanding of the situation -
Chernobyl is lost.
We cannot invoke Article 5 of NATO - they are not part of it.
We have troops in Poland (therefore we can intervene if touched).
Considerations -
1. How will the market react?
2. What will happen to the Global Supply Chain?
3. How will the International Monetary Fund (IMF) respond to this?
Personal opinions - Sanctions have at all fallen on deaf ears. Vlad. Putin could care less. Yes, people are dying, and yes it is devastating to watch. My heart goes out to the families and lives lost in this.
Hope Russia wins
