It's stupidly simplistic but I honestly believe Russia was waiting for Olympics to be over. They value that shit just about more than any other country out there. Wouldn't be surprised if they invade within 48 hours.

something typically russian would be to engineer circumstances where they win either way.

- if they invade, they will saturate the american narrative with 'of course they invaded, biden is weak and was propping up the ukrainian terrorist regime' arguments

- if they pull back, they will saturate the american narrative with 'of course they didnt invade, biden is weak and the american intelligence community are paranoid warmongers' arguments

what i find myself considering is what intelligence they possess regarding our response posture that made this action so attractive to them. and how they got it. suffice to say i have some ideas.

but yeah russia was never going to stop wanting odessa back under its full control, and if we gave a shit we surely could have done more to stop this from coming to pass over the last couple of decades.

I have to say it's nice to post on a forum that has sensible discussions. Apparently for the other sites 10 year anniversary they've decided to go full alt right. No idea why Druff let them ruin the site but I'll be limiting my posting there moving forward.

The simpletons who red rep'd me do not realize the difference between protesting and an illegal occupation. I fully support people protesting whatever they want......just do not block borders or cities.

in fairness if they cant see themselves as someones victims, they run out of excuses for their own catastrophic bad decisions / lives. plus there's the whole 'back the blue' cult factor where they go into fight or flight mode the second 'the blue' doesnt back them on principle. also splitthis (and others) legitimately have long covid brain damage so theres that to factor in.

if china capers into taiwan after we start seeing wagner forces shooting tiktoks from kiev, i think we should invade mexico to stabilize the avacado market.

one of the hidden gems of this situation is Ames & Taibbi being finally and utterly exposed as kremlin fanboy frauds.

China laid a sanction on my Raytheon and it read like a Goldman sell recommendation. I so pleased
