I think most of us realized, and posted as such, this would inevitably happen after that incredible show of weakness and ineptitude. You just got a bit far with it. Lol

It’s just the endgame, man. I didn’t see what happened to Afghanistan coming, but I do understand that island off the coast of China. Ukraine threads I won’t freak out as much in the Afghanistan threads since I’ve resigned myself to this, but when China invades Taiwan I will be inconsolable.

I warned everyone if Biden is elected that China would invade Taiwan and almost all my friends were “It’s a small island off of the coast of China. Who cares?” Everyone is going to be made to care about that island. 95% of people have no idea what’s ahead if the Ukrainians don’t successfully fend off the Russians. It’s in the South China Sea we should be looking.

Counterpoint: You don’t, especially when your thought process is identical to a tumbler teenager circa 2014.

Tumbler teenagers are Woke. I am not.

Arming civilians was smart. A civilian is no less lethal than your common infantryman and he has no one to answer to or rules of engagement to follow

I just saw a video of some Ukrainian soldiers standing in the back ground of an interview on Sky TV and one of them dropped his mag

I posted this in the video thread.

Yeah I was commenting on the catastrophizing and splitting. It’s like you have Borderline except about geopolitics. It’s very weird, and frankly, reads like someone has repeatedly shot you in the dick with an arrow full of amphetamines and estrogen.

Lots of questions about how the illuminati is selecting the banks.

I suspect it'll be the 5 or so smaller banks that first faced sanctions in this - ties directly to Putin and the inner circle. Will be shocked if this includes VTB and Sberbank due to the global financial implications of cutting them off.

Parents divorced post puberty
First kid with armpit hair and absolute unit on the peewee fields but once everyone else caught up the glory faded and even though in your own mind you worked harder than everyone else you were passed up by those that barely had to put any effort in to become star athletes. The glory faded and so did the presence of your dad. 100% I’m sorry you had to deal with that.
No worries though - you got into a state college thanks to that 3.5 GPA, you were ready to prove yourself. Unfortunately all success in your life was a result of coddling and the real world hit you in the face hard. Still at (guessing here) 28-35 you’ve worked for 8 different companies, each time you leave because your talent just isn’t being recognized. You see those underperforming pupils you grew up with flaunting their kids their hot wives ad their boats and you search for something that sets you apart. A Reddit community becomes your family, you live in an echo chamber and find strength behind a keyboard in the 3/3 apartment you share with your mom. You have peaked, life is good, if only these idiots would realize they are being played by MSM. Regardless If you are right or wrong, this is your Everest.

Just a guess. Apologies for derailing and GN - if an ounce of that is right, go talk to someone in person not on a computer screen. Your life will get better.
