Only reason China attack on Taiwan isn’t is the Winter Olympics next year. Once those pass or enough Western (and for that matter Eastern) countries withdraw from it then they’ll start lining up troops on the SE shore. Thinking it through I don’t think we should withdraw yet just so Japan can have a full and profit inducing Olympics only to pull the rug out from under China a week after the Summer Olympics. It would specifically piss them off if the Japanese of all countries got to host an Olympics less than a year before them and all the West and East pull out of their Olympics and leave them with their dicks in their hands. Unfortunately Beijing hosting the Olympics would have been the cheapest Olympics ever since they already largely had the infrastructure in place I guess except for cross country, but it’d be fricking hilarious to do this to them and give Japan hundreds of billions of dollars.

Correct me if I'm wrong, But I dont think I am. Crimea is already under Russia's control.

They are speaking of Russia attacking the Ukraine itself.

The Chinese could just use the Olympics as their TET offensive and snatch up Taiwan right in the middle of it.

Actually it would be a master blow as they control all media and the world would only get what they wanted it to get.

No liberals in China just Maoist...

Culturally speaking this would be great for us. A big problem we have right now is that we can't rally around a common enemy.

All those innocent civilians, the elderly, the children, will die. Caught in the crossfire of two opposing armies. I hope some can escape to safety. War is hell.

There in the middle of all that insanity? Our American soldiers. Some sons, fathers, husbands will not be coming home.

For those who are about to die, we pray.

The external fuel tanks are removed for combat and it is common to have a blade like that in the front. Secondly, a tank's purpose and design was to breach enemy fortifications way back in ww1.

*that said it's completely irresponsible for the Biden admin to allow the peace deal to expire, however, russia knows we have a limp dick and whore in the white house so they don't give a shite. Biden is so weak.

Correct. Things are heating up in the east in the Luhansk and Donetsk Oblasts.

That unity bullshite ship has sailed. Russia isn’t my enemy. And I wouldn’t piss on a Biden voter if they were burning a box of Trump ballots.

Biden calls Putin a murderer, and Putin knows Biden's family is neck deep in the Ukraine run businesses. Elections have consequences

When Trump was in office, a bunch of Russian contacted troops built up and prepared to cross the Euphrates River in Syria. We bombed the shite out of them and they backed off.

NATO needs to intervene. That's what they're there for.

time for Special Envoy Hunter Biden to take care of it - he has a special relationship to the Ukrainian people from his expertise in their oil business.

How many of these did Trump sell to Ukraine?


A LOT more than the ZERO that OBozo sent to them.

If the Russians attack, they will suffer a lot of tank losses.

Not at all. This seems like Europe's problem if anyone's at all to me. Just curious what it means for the geopolitical landscape.

In 1989, 25.8% of residents were Ukrainian.

In 2001, that number had dropped ever so slightly to 24%.

Russians made up 67% of the population in 1989, and 60% in 2001.

Sevastopol is major strategic asset for the Russians, and they couldn't afford to let it go. But I don't think their plan would have worked if it wasn't a Russian majority province. Demographics made the takeover possible.
