      USA actually has a way to defeat its cold war nemesis without losing a single soldier

        Liberals come over here and say that we’re the ones who hate the Ukrainian people, yet it’s the US that’s shown that it’s willing to fight the war down to the last Ukrainian.

      Love seeing domino theory from modern day libs lmao

      Wonder how US foreign policy has turned out under that particular paranoia. Surely there isn’t a massive, hundred year long wake of total destruction and mass murder? I wouldn’t know because I’ve never read books like Killing Hope, Washington Bullets, or The Jakarta Method, but I assume they have something to say on the subject.

      This is just the domino theory except “trust me bro, it’ll totally happen this time because BBC said so.”

      I don’t think you realize the importance of this war on a global scale.

      I don’t think you realize how little most of the human population cares about which flavor of white people gets to be in charge of Europe. Also, how many people in Asia, India, Africa, etc would probably prefer Russia to win because at least Russia doesn’t have a centuries long history of being absolute dicks to them.

          You seek an asia-russia alliance. The world seeks the EU-US alliance. If ruzzians occupied your country I doubt you would defend them.

          When you say the world, you mean these guys right?

              No, fewer Marvel movies would be a good thing. I’m saying a Russian occupied America wouldn’t be different. In fact they’d probably stop school shootings, so that would be a positive.

          There are a few glaring problems with this narrative of yours. First, Russia and Ukraine coexisted perfectly fine until the west decided to coup the democratically elected government in Ukraine and install the current regime. Second, is that Russia continues to coexist with its neighbours in the east and it’s not invading any of them. It would be far easier for Russia to do that than to push west against NATO.

          Finally, Stoltenberg let the cat out of the bag and admitted that the reason the war happened was due to NATO expansion and not because Russia is trying to take over Europe:

          Then lastly on Sweden. First of all, it is historic that now Finland is member of the Alliance. And we have to remember the background. The background was that President Putin declared in the autumn of 2021, and actually sent a draft treaty that they wanted NATO to sign, to promise no more NATO enlargement. That was what he sent us. And was a pre-condition for not invade Ukraine. Of course we didn’t sign that.

          The opposite happened. He wanted us to sign that promise, never to enlarge NATO. He wanted us to remove our military infrastructure in all Allies that have joined NATO since 1997, meaning half of NATO, all the Central and Eastern Europe, we should remove NATO from that part of our Alliance, introducing some kind of B, or second class membership. We rejected that.

          That’s what Russia is especially looking for - easy targets.

          In that case, Russia needs to have a word with whoever decided Ukraine was an easy target.

          It doesn’t take long to realize that imperialism is having a comeback in the 20’s and it must be stopped.

          Comeback suggests it went away.

      Every $ donated to Ukraine gives them support and a better chance to end the war

      Yes, just like every $ donated to Marianne Williamson helps her take one step closer to the presidency. Surely there are no institutional barriers preventing this from every realistically happening. Surely these elections, and the Ukraine war, are not just empty political theater meant to manufacture consent for the oligarch-owned military industrial complex.

      There has never been a point during that conflict where Ukraine ever had a chance against Russia. There is no positive outcome for Ukraine. More money just means more death.

        The US didn’t defeat the USSR. The bourgeoisie in the USSR worked for 3 decades to reassert their dominance and it culminated in the internal dismantling of the USSR. After it was dismantled, Russia brought in the USA to help liberalize the Russian economy. The USA implemented economic shock therapy under the theories of Friedman and that shock therapy killed millions of Russians - a death toll so staggering it was equivalent to a war.

        The USA outlasted the USSR. The USA outperformed the liberalized economy of the USSR. But the USSR dismantled itself.

        The Russian Federation has no intention of taking and holding Ukraine, let alone taking and holding all of Europe. The RF intends only to prevent the North Atlantic from completing their border fence of nuclear first strike capabilities and neutralizing all of Russia’s national security.

        BRICS is a far more powerful economic coalition than the North Atlantic. The USA needs to discipline the EU to prevent any of them from switching their allegiance to BRICS, but ultimately BRICS will be inexorable because most of European riches come from their dominance of the Global South. As that dominance breaks down, Europe will be left with very little choice but to choose between the USA and the rest of the world. Individual countries will try to break rank and they will be disciplined for it, but eventually the West will break.

      “defeat”

      In what world does Ukraine have a chance of actually reclaiming their territory? Even by the most optimistic estimates, Ukraine’s recent counteroffensive has lost tens of thousands of soldiers to claim… A rural village.
