Yeah, huge propaganda coup. How can you blow up a Russia tank despite being a barista? We’ll tell ya!
I believe the term is ‘Tankies’. I think they are a mix of ideologies, opportunists and the deranged .
Please.
Do not say anything that might induce the Taiwanese to start playing around with landmines and booby traps.
Just don’t
To me this shows he is getting more desperate to make a point, but also shows help is needed and fast. Can we give a few Ukrainian gamers some drones based from Germany, i’m sure they would pick it up pretty fast, and they would be classed as Ukrainian combatants.
I watched his videos, but I find it hard to agree with everything that he said. To “avoid” provoking Putin means granting Putin rights to veto Ukraine’s foreign policies. How in the world would the West agree to that or even has rights to agree to that over the will of the Ukrainian people?
In the end, Putin is justifying his invasion by the West’s denying his outrageous demands. Demands Putin knew full well no one could agree to. The only way to avoid the war would be for Russian to continue successfully meddle with Ukrainian elections and place Pro-Russian politicians into key positions.
I actually find TLDR’s take on Mearsheimer’s paper much more balanced.
If China were training Canada’s troops, we’d invade Canada.
Then maybe instead of invading your neighbors, the key is not to piss them off by claiming their countries territory as your own.
Taiwan sending 27 tones of medical supplies
This is how we need to deal with any possible Chinese invasion. IED triggered by cell phones, trip wires, mines, etc. Make those Chinese momma boys regret trying to come here.
Any country that shows up with a military in the Americas, we invade. It’s the Monroe Doctrine.
That didn’t exactly work out well for the US in the 60s, and it certainly is still hurting the US even now.
Why not. You think Russian missiles in Cuba is a good thing?
What he ignores is that great powers only follow rules when it suits their interests.
I’m saying the best way to stop Soviet nukes on Cuba, i.e. the way of minimizing any risk of war, was for the US to have treated Cuba fairly and not have exploited Cuba as if it was a US colony.
Yeah, and that’s why we have been trying to build an world order to discourage such things since WW2. If just because great powers would like to flex their powers to get anything they want, we should see it as the norm and just shrug and give into their whims, and countries can use “the West did it first” as an excuse for any invasion, then the rest of the world better buckle up, because China has a 200 year grudge with the entire world.
Yeah, they would side with Hitler if he was alive today if it meant opposing the US.
Whatever the circumstances–whether defeat, victory, or something in between–I hope the Russian soldiers turn around and go home, and I hope Russia finds someone else to lead it.
Edited to add: I also hope the Ukrainians can successfully defend themselves without involving my country militarily.
I see that pretty frequently. I think boarder is the new border.
It’s not nice to refer to our Southern neighbors that way.
