Biden is a lame duck president with NO PUBLIC MANDATE and subterranean approval rating, he got ousted by his own party before the election for being mentally incapacitated, his defense against a Justice Department inquiry is he’s too old and senile, his party just got BTFO in a national election. No NATO or NATO proxies have ever launched long range missiles into Russia in living memory. How is this guy fit for office

now with added North Korean soldiers sent by their dictator

  1. Kim Jong Un is not a dictator. Again you show that you have no clue. Just vibes.

  2. No statement by the DPRK or Russia regarding the matter. You base your assessment on rumors spread by the ukrainian government. The ones who made up the Ghost of Kiev. Told the world that the seperatists were shelling themselves. That Russia shelled itself in a nuclear plant. That Russia had lost 500000 soldiers and was sending in human waves armed with shovels.

You never stopped and thought: “Wait, that is not a reliable source!”

Western press told you that was the truth, so you took their word for it. Because when was the last time the west lied? Aside from Iraq, Lybia, Syria, Xinjiang region, Vietnam, Korea, the USSR, China in general, Communism in general, Ukraine, Palestine, etc.

claims that firing ballistic missiles somehow escalates this conflict aren’t well thought out

It escalates the conflict because under Russian law it puts Russia directly at war with NATO and opens up more spheres of conflict. The Russians will most certainly retaliate, likely by sending weapons to anti-western groups.

without World War 3 breaking out

Yes, I doubt this will on its own cause ww3. But playing with fire is dangerous either way.

they’ve been firing those at high value targets in Russia from day one of getting invaded

Russia is already at ear with Ukraine. The Ukrainians firing at Russia with their own weapons is thus not an escalation.

since Russia is still attempting to conquer Ukraine

No it is not and it never was. Everybody knew from day 1 that conquering and holding to all of Ukraine would be infeasible and the war was actually about NATO expansion.

North Korean soldiers sent by their dictator

Pure ideology. Just speculation. It wouldn’t even be an escalation if this were happening because the western fascists have been sending over their mercenaries and troops to Ukraine for the past 10 years.

I find that doubtful. They went for Kyiv during the first month of war. If you go for the largest city and the capital, that typically is a conquest.

Yes they went for Kiev to topple the government of Ukraine and force a quick surrender, as has been their stated aim. It does not mean there would be any possibility of conquering Ukraine and holding it by the Russians.

The prevailing opinion seems to be that Ukraine was attacked by Russia in 2022 and before that, parts of Ukraine were seized by Russia in 2014.

You appear to be forgetting about the maidan coup, the shelling of donbass and the arming of Ukraine by nato, all of which the Russians have said threaten their national security since Ukraine is literally at their border.

imaginary bunch of “western fascists”.

Y’all are commiting a livestreamed genocide in gaza and have slaughtered tens of millions of people at the altars of capitalism since the end of ww2. No need to imagine western fascism.

hard boiled imperialist

When will liberals learn what imperialism is? When we say “we oppose imperialism” we mean that we want to destroy the transnational system of capitalist superexploitation of the world’s natural resources and labour by a handful of “first world” nations. Not “we want to reify nations and nation states”.

He decided that Ukraine must be under Russia’s control.

As opposed to the Americans, who don’t want Ukraine under American control, who haven’t been buying up Ukrainian capital assets for dirt cheap for 30 years now.

The revolution which Yanukovich accidentally provoked was inconvenient to him, so he decided to start military action. Seeing that the West was using toothless sanctions and harsh words, he decided to go all in - but miscalculated. His yes-men said they could do it, but they couldn’t.

I bet my left testicle on you not having read even a single word that came out of the mouth of any member of the Russian leadership and instead just making up all of this headcannon and fan fiction based on nothing.

I can’t even imagine what any of them are thinking. Many of them lived through the entire Nuclear age. I can only assume they’re so high on their own supply they just can’t imagine Washington disappearing in a flash of hot light and hard radiation.

They’re calling Russia’s bluff. That’s what they’re thinking. They’re betting Russia wouldn’t dare to escalate into a nuclear war, and they’d be right (most of the time), because no sane country would want that.

Russia won’t escalate to nuclear, but it will have to escalate, which is going to ruin the rest of Ukraine all for a chance of getting more intelligence on Russian capabilities.

small price to pay for the US. Not like anyone in Ukraine can complain. Not like any westerner ever sees anything about the consequences. Not like the lackeys “in charge” in Ukraine will say anything about it. The US will just pay off their most loyal puppets and move on to the next country to destroy.

How will Russia escalate further? They are already doing almost everything they can, including deploying troops in Ukraine from other countries like NK, and indiscriminate bombing of civilian centers in Ukraine.

Russia has no capability to escalate the war besides nukes, which they won’t use. It’s amusing y’all think this is a big deal, it’s not and nothing will happen. The US should have approved these strikes the minute we supplied the weapons in the first place.

Yeah well up until Russia stops being sane, like the gerontocratic West has. For example, by assassinating Putin and having someone far more extreme take power.

I don’t think we’re getting out of this one. This is the end of the line.

Well let’s see who will eventually win this bet: Biden or you.

Hate to say it but I genuinely suspect Biden might turn out to be right.

Many of them lived through the entire Nuclear age.

That’s just it though, considering that they are the leaders of a giant death cult, many of them probably feel like they got shortchanged when the USSR fell without any nuclear armageddon, not even a little bit. This could be Biden’s last chance for the Christmas he always really wanted.

I’ve also wondered this. The generation that was promised they would all die in nuclear armageddon so they treated the planet and everyone and everything as if all life was going away anyway not being denied their just deserts.

This also makes the whole Huckabee choice much more foreboding…

I would be less worried if I lived in DC than if I lived in Poland or Germany or god-forbid Kiev. Ukraine manages to get a big bomb into Krusk and Russia retaliates with a fuck-off armed ballistic missile into one of those guys.
