Turns out that months of brinksmanship only works if you’re willing to commit an army to back it up.

That said, I don’t see the EU agreeing to be NATO’s battleground over this, and I don’t see how the US could intervene and fight a war with Russia without heavy, heavy use of conscription. The western front alone would be 5,000 kilometers long.

Here’s a livestream, although of course it’s 90% speculation and pictures of fires in various cities. https://www.youtube.com/watch?app=desktop&v=jNZM_H6q1rY

Things would go nuclear long before we’re talking about conscripting US citizens

Are we owned for insisting that the US intel about Putin’s imminent attack was fake?

“I’m not owned! I’m not owned!” I cry as the siege of Kiev goes on for another week. Tomorrow I will meet my fate at the hands of a 152mm shell, but until then I am adamant that Putin will not invade and this is just Biden posturing to distract from covid.

I mean there were videos of massive military buildup. Disregarding US Intel, Russia was preparing for any course of action

Yeah but it’s not going to stop me in the future calling bullshit on any of the other war mongering. This particular situation is especially ridiculous but this world a really ridiculous place :shrug-outta-hecks:

i dont think the position of leftists has been diluted in any meaningful way. perhaps aesthestically to people who use politics as aesthetics, but the leftist position was still the right one to take. there is no place for nato or us imperialism here.

very very sad to see, and i am sad that the seemingly obvious material answer to this has been incorrect this time, but i still believe the analysis was correct.
