With my anxiety in complete overdrive and the fact that I know I shouldn't do this I'm going to ask anyway.  How do we see this playing out? Does Russia attack North America? Ukraine surrender relatively quickly and become neutral like Finland?
Nuclear attack? 

None of those.  Putin attempts to hold Kyiv with a puppet govt. I don't think he can.  He will try to negotiate for Ukraine to never be allowed in NATO as well.  

Meanwhile the sanctions take their toll,  ruble crashes,  Russia is cut off from SWIFT while Ukraine guerrillas make life difficult.  I think he retreats to the two breakaway oblasts and stays there. 

When will you wake up?

Well as a man who is 50% Ukrainian,  I have a strong belief in the national pride of Ukraine and their commitment to fight.  And we're seeing it already 

What is your educated opinion?

I am with you on this. What I’m saddened about is the general naïveté that has existed on this forum for years. I was talking about this shit pre-trump. I said that this was coming and that the world is sleep walking towards disaster. I do not doubt that the Ukrainian’s are committed to fight but I doubt the West is willing or even able to support them. This is a forum that believes western civilization is inherently evil. Rot is everywhere. The barbarians are at the gates. They know we are weak. China will move next. Then Iran. There will be no Putin retreat. There will be no European tour.

China may move to Taiwan but that's it. And we've expected that for years. 

Man is inherently evil, not the West. To steal a phrase from the founding fathers,  the West is the worst culture,  except for all the rest.  

Your Iran prediction is way off, as is your statement regarding the west being weak.  The Japanese thought we were weak,  as did the Germans.  And they were right until they weren't.  The fundamentals haven't changed regarding our capacity. 

Trump tried to do Putins work by undermining NATO at every turn.  But he failed.  Only Putin didn't realize it until now,  when he sees even the Germans uniting against him.

This isn’t 1940. The average westerner is spoiled, soft and fat. Capacity means nothing when there is no heart. We tear down statues. We erase our histories. We kneel. Apologies and reckonings with our past are ok but we are way past that. We no longer believe in our sense of purpose. Your sense of optimism is appreciated but the fundamentals that count aren’t in our collective favour.

Dicks also fuck assholes.

Vaxxed and against mandates: I guess that makes me a proud member of the minority of the fringe minority.

our resident trump thumper has returned, no doubt to extoll the hypothetical virtues of a president who would be the savior of the planet had the election not been stolen from him. 

You just can’t quit him.

He's the king maker in the party right now.  He's not finger painting in Texas staying out of the light. 

How do you feel about this?  Russian state TV using an American president as propaganda. 

My first thought is why is it all in English?

Because it's foreign propaganda. 

Have you guys never watched RT? It has domestic stations here.

Oh my god, they're not kidding. They actually think it's fake news.

Not that I don’t think they would play something like that. But that doesn’t even look like TV screenshot to me. Looks like a website. So just saying looks odd that a picture of Russia TV looks like a website all in English. But I know nothing about RT, so maybe that’s normal. I don’t know.
Should be nothing wrong with asking a question. That’s how we learn. Don’t need to chastise anyone for it.

But if that is what the Russia state tv is showing, wouldn’t there be some Russian in there?

This isn’t their domestic website that’s in Russian.  This is their propaganda one.  There’s a second one called Sputnik.
