  1. ..... America is an absolute mess right now. No Canadian provinces will seced. I'm starting to think the opposite might happen.

  3. ​ @playea123 not until Germany pay's its 2%. ...freeloaders. Also don't forget about America's love of Polish video games. I joke, but the tech industry is booming in Poland. They could be a contender in the tech world in a decade.

  4. ​ @robbiekop7 Haiti isn't a major oil and food producer. Venezuela is collapsing whilst sitting on top of a piggy bank. It's the purest case of government mismanagement.

  8. I think Russia should settle these "refugees" in Russia.

  9. ​ @the_real_glabnurb "Russia". A lot of Lithuanians, Poles and Germans would disagree. I think that area will want to be independent once Russia proper inevitably implodes and collapses

  11. ​ @touger9759  Are you familiar with King Pyrrhus of Epirus? This war is Lose, Lose.

  12. Using migrants as weapons should be a war crime. Belarus is doing the same to Poland. Russia isn't making friends lately.

  13. Yeah. Poland would thump them without NATO at this point. But it's nice to have friends.

  14. Ugg, can Russia stop spreading misery and chaos for like 5 mins.?

  15. ​ @NotThereJustGone if Russia uses a "tactical nuke" in Ukraine, NATO decimates every Russian military target in the disputed territories with conventional weapons.. whilst whistling "Karma Police" by Radiohead.

  16.  @antpoo  no we don't.

  17. Ukraine proved their worth. I think everyone will have a facsimile soon.

  19.  @blackcatdungeonmastersfami5311  a slow moving Ukrainian "Cessna" packed with explosives just remotely flew slowly into an oil refiner deep inside Russia. It doesn't matter how "top rate" their air defense is, if it's spread too thin over too much area.

  20.  @Notrusbot  Finland's GDP per Capita is $56.16k a year. Russia's GDP per Capita is $13.06k a year. They on average make over 3X a Russian on average. YOU ARE POOR AND PROUD! Go thank your Tsar.

  22.  @MerioM  that was when the rail was deep behind enemy lines, and required saboteurs and explosives. Ukraine could just arty those hypothetical railway lines from their territory relatively risk free.

  26.  @oveidasinclair982  * secession. And slavery was a major factor. I've watched all 9 million hours of Ken Burns civil war. I'm very familiar.

  27. Poland has dedicated 4% gdp to defense spending. bought the next 500 HIMARS systems built. Bought 1000 South Korean tanks, and the export versions of Bradley's and Abrams. Increased domestic production, Not to mention all the NATO assets currently stationed in Poland. Within five years Poland will easily be the biggest military power in Europe. Meanwhile Russia will be a skeleton crew.

  28. Poland doesn't want Moscow. Waaaay too many Russians there. Eww. The tanks are for defense. You said it yourself, porous borders. Also 500 HIMARS gets no mention?
    2
  29.  @Notrusbot  they mostly come from middle eastern dictatorships. And they're currently stuck in a Russian dictatorship. I have a lot of sympathy for them. And Russia exploiting their misfortune to be used as a weapon against Finland/Poland is petty and evil. Once these wars are over, I imagine many Russian politicians will be defending their policies including this one at the Hague.

  34. ​ @eerohorila1109 let's remember Putin gave Handy's for information in Berlin before becoming president.

  35. It's not a phobia. All of Russia's neighbors have a very real and healthy fear of Russian invasion. Thanks to Russia's 500 year history of invading them.

  42.  @personzorz  Ukraine is already on their third generation of the sea baby in 7 months. AI implementation is already being tested. And their tech pails in comparison to the largest high end microchip manufacturer in the world. I have no doubt Taiwan is building some nasty devices.

  43. Did the Moskva sink from a smoking accident Ivan? The black sea seems a little less vodka addled these days.

  44.  @NotThereJustGone  then they'll receive tit for tat. Or worse....grim trigger. Nuclear blackmail stops working once someone uses a nuke.

  45.  @NotThereJustGone  tit-for-tat if they're lucky. Grim-trigger if we are feeling less charitable.

  46. ​ @TheSyndicate09 Russia also said they wouldn't invade Ukraine. They even had treaty. Russia LIES.

  47. ​ @NotThereJustGone  no. Russia does. It threatens using nukes every Tuesday. And every time they do, the more obvious the tactic is.
    1
  48.  @NotThereJustGone  acquiescing to belligerent dictators emboldens them to do more of the same. Calling their bluff deters them.
    1
  49.  @NotThereJustGone  I'm not avoiding the question. Tit-For-Tat. an equal and proportional response. Acquiescing and Appeasement does not work with expansionist dictators.

  50.  @NotThereJustGone  Russia has better options than "destroy the world including themselves" . For example they could just.....leave Ukraine. I'm not going to fall for the "act crazy to get what I want" tactic.

  51.  @NotThereJustGone  if Putin uses them, we retaliate in kind. Otherwise we should just pull down our pants, grab our ankles and let dictators do what they will with us.

  56. ​ @canopus_reborn fyi, Russia stole billions from India in undelivered military contacts. Also Russia sent Indian international workers to the frontlines to die in "meat" assaults. Your weird boner for Russia is weird.

  58. Its not a new concept. There were some "funny" shermans that were used for mine clearing in a similar fashion. A dedicated vehicle to just absorb mine hits is a good concept in theory....i wouldnt want to rife in though. I foresee unmanned varients in the near future.

  60. ​ @jmfana9154 These terms like "Latinx" aren't there to denote meaning. It's a method to denote fealty to their progressive tribe. Once you realize that, all their nonsense starts to make a little more sense.

  61. It keeps them from hitting Odessa and open grain trading corridors.

  62. Your theory is wrong. Georgia is on the other side of those natural barrier mountains, and Russia is constantly messing with them. Russia is just a greedy expansionist. They want resources and serfs from their neighbors. end of.

  63. Targeting food and agriculture, would be a large escalation. Videos of starving Ukrainians on the internet would be the impetus to Tit that Tat with copious amounts of longer range weapons and more targets within mainland Russia. I hope for everyone's sake you are wrong.

  68. ....yes Putin turning Finland from neutral to adversarial and getting Finland to join NATO thus giving NATO a much larger border with Russia was a "masterful chess move" /s

  69.  @guncoservicesllc6921  who are you kidding? Finland and Sweden joining NATO is antithetical to the entire reason Putin invaded Ukraine. Your entire comment reeks of cope. Putin isn't a chess player. Weirdly he's a poker player, and I think it's obvious to anyone with an IQ above a turnip that he overplayed his hand.

  70.  @guncoservicesllc6921  I think we are on the same side here bud. Russia sucks, Putin sucks. But Finland joining NATO was not Putin's plan.

  72. ​ @none3763 those "skidos" are partially submerged. They move with choppy waters at night, and have denied access to most of the black sea to the Russian Navy or at least pushed them back to ports. Like their aerial cousins, They seem to be quite the game changer.

  81. So your solution is..."don't do drugs" They tried that Pete...it didn't work. We need to shore up both the Supply and the Demand sides of this problem. You should talk to Michael Shellenberger about the demand side. He's done a lot of research on the correct policies to implement. As for the demand side, we need to empower and incentivize the Mexican government to crack down on the cartels with both carrots and sticks, The same way Guatemala is cracking down on MS13 recently.
