  1. As the old soviet joke put it: whatever goes wrong, blame the Amerikanskys and everything will be fine.

  2. The US fought a two front war against Japan and Germany, successfully.

  3. 3:19 France will remind Russia that the "Force de Frappe" exists for this exact scenario.

  7. Nuclear Fallout will go eastward

  20.  @jusmeetsingh1907  again bad analogie, supporting the selfdefense of Ukraine (or Taiwan) is certainly not oposed by the locals. And conviniently stops likely rivals long before they get realy dangerous for the US (like helping the Allies in WW II).

  22. The smart move for any country would be to Flip flop around on the issue and get as much cash as possible.

  23. @jim and that's a good choice, however as long as the CCP is stupid enough for notional recognition any country could still declare for Taiwan and then demand money to switch back to the Mainland (or just extort it by threatening to switch to Taiwan).

  43.  @rogerwilco2  traditionaly it's called "sudden heart failure" (and yes i stole the joke from Taleyrand).

  47. Given the general competence, or lack thereof, of the german Government (i.e. attempting to quit nuclear and coal during a gas shortage) i'll better prepare for a war, by looking for my old membership card, of the east german comunist youth Organisation 😂

  61. So the Russians realised they're overstretched?
    1
  62. The worrying thing about the German coalition is that it will probably benefit from it's own inaptitude. Reason beeing that given the likely election results, the only way to form a stable coalition would require the same parties to participate. Leading to outcomes like in Lower-Saxony, Saxony or (worst) Thuringia, where election loss leads to "reelection".

  63.  @protorhinocerator142  that was an effect of the Bretton Woods system. Except that also hurt the US Economy, because it lead to an overvalueated Dollar (thus making made in US more expensive). And therefor Nixon had to quit the System in 1973.

  90. @osric1730  because the mushroom cloud of a nuclear weapon (unlike a reactor) lifts the nuclear fallout straight to the stratosphere, where the jetstream does actualy allways blows eastward (because of the coriolis force and unless Putin can make the earth rotate backwards that wont change)
