Russian invasion of Ukraine

[YUPPIE]

Short answer: No.

Long answer: there's this country in the way...what was it called again? Ah, yes, Ukraine.

a lot of people have cited moldova and kazakhstan as being too weak to repel Russia if push comes to shove.

Ukraine is kind of a golden goose. No one else begging for weapons and supplies will get the equal treatment they have.

Before russia can get to Moldova they'll need to go THROUGH Ukraine, Moldova is, currently, somewhat safe. Kazakhstan has literally just signed a treaty with China which amounts to: "Fuck around and find out russia.". Individually they are weak, yes, but before russia can actually come for them it needs to untangle itself from Ukraine.

Maybe you should spend less time fearmongering and more time in reality, it's healthy, I promise.

Moldova is, currently, somewhat safe.

also with the fact you acknowledged individually that, yes they are weak, it acknowledges they are not assuredly safe from Russian imperialism.

Moldova, if mostly safe from the terrain advantage you mentioned, would not be worried.

You know who would be weak against Russian invasion? Aruba. They have like NO army.

They’re so stupid for not being worried about a Russian invasion…. Jeesh…

If the Russians try to pull anything out of their transnistria occupation, you can be sure the Ukrainians are standing by to help Moldova out with that.

Of course Aruba *is* part of the Kingdom of the Netherlands...I'm not sure if that means NATO would get involved but the European part of the the Kingdom, in other words: The Netherlands, would definitely get involved.

Well, a few years ago Aruba became an independent within the Kingdom of the Netherlands. It's kinda comparable to the countries within the Commonwealth.

Not really, it's more akin to the UK, as a constituent country within the Kingdom

russia doesn't care about the scope or strength of whom they will invade or attack.

I mean, they planned on attacking Japan in 2021.

Sure they did, considering US of A is the one defending Japan from an attack of a 3rd party...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Treaty...nd_Japan#Terms

Article 5 commits the United States to defend Japan if it is attacked by a third party.

You are the perfect, what they call a "useful idiot" (I didn't create the term, mods forgive me) for Kremlin. You swallow anything they vomit and without question, take it seriously enough to fearmonger about it here. If Russia said they would nuke the entire world if the world doesn't submit under russian rule...You would post here doomsaying that we must comply or else face annihilation.

At least you don't care if you are not taken seriously. Ignorance is a bliss?

[YUPPIE]

For reference/citation on Russia's planned attack on Japan - the "why" and how - from something that isn't somewhere like Newsweek.

https://www.republicworld.com/world-...ticleshow.html

It's a lot to take in to just blindly paste here for those interested. But it's interesting to note Putin allegedly wanted to do what he did to Ukraine now to Japan before just settling on the former. It was not just one of the many little nations Russia threatens today via words.

And as always, you entirely ignore the fact that Russia keeps saying wild shit that doesn't mean anything, like if we help Ukraine, we escalate the war.

BUT A DIRECT WAR AGAINST THE UNITED STATES AND JAPAN COMBINED AT VERY LEAST SURELY IS A GRAND IDEA AND NOT A COLOSSAL ESCALATION THAT WOULD RESULT IN RUSSIA'S UTTER, COMPLETE DESTRUCTION???

Yeah, keep ignoring everyone who disprove and discredit you each and every time you doompost, that's your modus operandi indeed. Can't call you a troll, but there's probably a reason most here outright ignore your posts (but can't they block you, or this thread becomes invisible as you did your only clever ploy by creating this thread)...

Also lul, your "source":

A cherry on top, failed fact checks from the very same website:

But but YUPPIE got that from reddit, which is a very credible "news" source.

I take any threat Russia makes to another nation seriously, if it is one specifically within their geopolitical agendas or sphere. Japan is actually within this grid since WW2.

Before the Ukraine 2022 war even happened, Russia has committed innumerable assassinations and espionage attacks on the soil of other nations, a lot of whom are casually documented on Wikipedia. And that's not even getting into the big shit like Syria and Jihadist movements.

Russia is a vestigial threat to the world and should not be underestimated or viewed in the same league as North Korea, which is what most people draw comparisons to with Kim's own escalating threats to the South in 2022.

As Kissinger stated: the world at large is mostly seeing Russia as some ineffectual baboon due to the media's coverage of their most humiliating losses in Ukraine, which is a grave mistake.

I thought Reddit was a very credible "nudes" source.

[Corvus]

Russia has threatened pretty much everyone by now and followed through on not a single threat.

Meanwhile, while pootie stays as far away as possible from his war, Zelensky pays a visit to Bakhmut.

And once again, you take a what, 99 year old has-been seriously in current modern times, as a source of absolute truth.

But gotcha, you believe anything and everything Russia says. Good for Russia. At least if you post the stuff you post here, elsewhere where larger audience of gullible people roam. With your biased, bad sources. While ignoring anything that discredits your doomposting. Cus Russia is totally gonna take on USA and Japan, but cus they said so (...according to your biased, bad source), it must be true!

[Kallisto]

If this is true then

Putin: Join war pls?
Luka: hmmm nah

When Belarus tells russia to GTFO I think it's kind of a wrap. putin seems to have gambled and lost.

The thing about "strongman" dictators is that they have no respect for other "strongmen" who show weakness. Putin's comically bad "three day invasion" is a major blow to him in the eyes of his fellow autocrats.
