Welp there goes my fucking sleep for tonight. I wish Washington and Langley alone would somehow disappear off the face of the earth and solve half the problems in the world overnight.
Why the fuck does the rest of the world have to risk a nuclear extinction (and a climate one, honestly) just because the US are too fucking stupid and greedy to let go of a single cent in the world.
This instance is hilarious.
Russia makes threats with nukes, because a country they attacked dares to defend itself
lemmy.ml: Why would the US do this?
The notion that Russia doesn't need to invade or make nuclear threats is completely unthinkable around these parts.
If you just analyze the 1000 most recent posts on the local worldnews, it's pretty openly a propaganda channel.
So many incredibly stupid takes in comments. This is not a game. This is not a fucking Netflix special. The escalation ladder is so easy to go up, but so hard to climb down. This is a terrifying development.
This should be delivered to Putin, How exactly should the world deal with a fanatic armed with nukes?
You misspelled America
I won't bother listing the countries the US has bombed invaded or overthrown governments in the last oh I dunno 100 years
Maybe the US shouldn't have made such an obvious and stupid choice to escalate the conflict by allowing Ukraine to use their weapons?
Maybe Iran and North Korea shouldn't have made such an obvious and stupid choice to escalate the conflict by allowing Russia to use their weapons?
North Korea could not have been forced to use their troops to attack Ukraine if Kim Jong Un did not want them too. Iran I'm guessing did not care which hospital their weapons landed in.
You people talk like you think you're at the strategy table in game of thrones, and not one of us mud-covered peasants. I'm willing to bet you know less than nothing about the causes of this war and the dynamics between it's participants.
Iran I'm guessing did not care which hospital their weapons landed in.
Naked projection, your side has been bombing hospitals for a year in Palestine and a century everywhere else.
North Korea could not have been forced to use their troops to attack Ukraine if Kim Jong Un did not want them too.
Truly brilliant. Also there is no evidence the DPRK is deploying troops to attack Ukraine.
Yes there is. Way more than your imagined threat to "russian" speakers in ukraine.
Show it then? It would be much more effective than “yes there is.”

Regardless of this, I do not think we should escalate things with a nuclear power.
Serious question here, but how exactly do you think the world should deal with a dictator armed with nukes? Capitulate at every single threat?
I don’t know how the world should deal with Biden, truly. Russia is not the power that is issuing threats. NATO did exactly what they recognized for decades would push Russia to invade. Ask how Russia should deal with a foreign power covertly manipulating their neighbor’s politics to elevate Nazis who would go on to bomb Russian speakers.
"NATO did exactly what they recognized for decades would push Russia to invade." Which is nothing.
"Ask how Russia should deal with a foreign power covertly manipulating their neighbor’s politics to elevate Nazis who would go on to bomb Russian speakers." LOL Now you are into delusional crackpot territory.

We should pick our battles. Do you want to get nuked for Ukraine of all places?
You do understand this is circular logic right? Why should Russia capitulate to every US or NATO threat?
yeah we lost 90% of the world's population from global nuclear hellfire and the resulting fallout, but for a brief moment there we really showed Putin who's boss!!
Who cares
Seriously
Would you rather you and your whole family gets killed or the lines on the map say Russia? You still don't own the means of production so same shit different asshole.
There is no bourgeois capitalist cause that's worth the death of a single civilian
Your ideology has zero explanatory power in the real world. “Fanatic” means nothing now.
