    Honestly I've taken to mentally replacing half of news articles with just the words "BE AFRAID!!!" in big letters

    What is this guy expecting? That Russia's gonna blaze through the European Plain and then cross the channel? That Russia's gonna send its navy over Norway and surround Northern Ireland to make sure we stay in the Star Trek timeline?

      Never said the ground war was going to be in Britain.

      This has strong hints of "have to defend our freedoms by going and fighting a ground war in eastern europe"

        I hear "Russia is going to take Northern Europe" and my mind gets kinda lost in an elaborate fantasy where the Soviets got further south than Finnmark, and I start to feel a little funny tbh

      Check my comment history and you’ll see me arguing with A LOT of people who think Russia really plans on invading all of Europe and conquering the world in a new Mongol Khanate or something… So yeah…
