The Brink of War?

[cdnmatt]

Yeah, I'm just assuming Sweden will drop into NATO as well during this process. Finland is the big one though, as it shares a border with Russia, and it looks like they will join. A while back, NATO already said due to how much cooperation there already is between the governments and militaries, they'll be able to fast track their membreship into NATO.

I'm sure Putin is pounding his fist on his desk over this one, but good, because fuck him.

BTW it is useless against hypersonic weapon.

All those hypersonic weapons that so quick;y took over Kiev?

Just for fun, checked it out, and comparison of NATO vs. Russia militaries:

https://www.statista.com/statistics/...ry-comparison/

NATO has 5.4 million soldiers versus Russia's 1.3 million. NATO has 20,700 aircraft versus Russia's 4700. I guess Russia does happen to have more tanks than NATO, but considering we now know that Russian military communication technology relies on stolen cell phones from Ukrainian civilians, and Russian generals have to head to the front lines to see what's happening, then, yeah...

Plus both Finland and Sweden have very capable militaries, and looks like they'll be shortly added to those numbers. And that's just NATO, and excludes the various other Western allies we can rely on including folks such as Australia, New Zealand, Japan, South Korea, and more.

China will never back Russia militarily in a fight. China knows full well that it economically implodes without the West, and they've already seen the sanctions the West levied onto Russia. In a week Russia became the most sanctioned country in history, and China isn't going to risk the same fate. Plus look at the news, and China is already struggling with a myriad of its own economic woes. They want nothing more than for this war to go away, so they can get back to business as usual.

Sure Russia has nukes, but so does the West. We called their bluff back during the cold war, and looks like we're going to have to do it again. At any given moment, the US has three nuclear submarines floating around each armed with a dozen triple tipped Trident nuclear missiles, ready to hit any location on the globe. If a pleb like me knows this, then I'm sure the Russian military does as well.

Not to mention other cool shit like in the West, we actually provide our soldiers with food.

When you will want to compare it in reality - it will means WWIII already started

No. It was used only once: and whole international freelancers base has been destroyed near Lviv. About 150 fatalities within foreign sodiers of fortune, rest ran to Poland, whole base destroyed.

That was simply you guys being dicks, and sending a message to the West of, "hey, look at us and our cool new missiles". I can promise you, the West isn't impressed.

Well, yeah... your dear leader started it. We know full well that Putin has no intention of stopping at Ukraine. He has every intention of continuing on into Moldova, Romania, Poland, the Baltic states, et al.

The West is just kind of hoping we send so much support and weapons to Ukraine, that Russia gets bogged down there and stopped. We under no illusion though that it will probably eventually fail, and Russia will continue with it's plans of taking more countries.

Have you not been watching the news? The West is quite obviously mobilizing and preparing for an eventual war with Russia. Can't wait for your military commanders to spend the rest of their days in the Hagur for the war crimes you're currently commiting.

Then your dear leader actually has the balls to get on national TV, and give a speech about how his heart is with the Ukrainian people, and that shit. What a joke.

Surely it’s obvious by now that Matt & reality are complete strangers

surely they only had one

It was just a message to the West. They've only used one so far, and they made sure to use it in Leviv right beside the Polish border.
