If you don't think russia is making shit up, just consider how the molotov cocktail got its name:
1930s Finland. Winter War.
The Soviets are dropping cluster bombs in Finland
Vyacheslav Molotov, the Soviet Minister of Foreign Affairs, claimed these bombs were "humanitarian food drops"
The Finns nicknamed the cluster bombs "Molotov Bread Baskets."
So they made the Molotov cocktail as "a drink to go with the food."
This thread, like every other thread on any forum, shows that this type of communication does not work. Either you get so focused on the 1 person out of everyone and make a delayed response to them ignoring everyone else or you are a god and can take in and respond to everyone. I see no gods here.
Russia conquering like this is just the start. China is already invading Taiwan air space, if it even looks like Russia will win this Taiwan is next, and when you have about a 1/4 to 1/3 of the land mass and its governments doing this the question becomes how and what are you going to do to stop them?
That is what will set the course of humanity for the next 100 years.
Been busy and I see the thread has moved like 50 pages over the past 2 days and I am betting a lot of that was feeding pigeons who were allowed to get away with shitting on the thread for a good deal of it.
Outside of them invading while claiming they weren’t, the Germans blocking NordStream, Putin trying to air a prerecorded meeting over it and the Biden’s sanctions, anything new?
Since we can't call out Trolls and Bad Faith posters and the Ignore function doesn't actually ignore it. Add
"mmo-champion.com##li.postbitignored"
to your ublock or adblock filter to actually ignore ignored posters. Now just need a way to ignore responses to them as well.
China does not have the capability to invade Taiwan.
Like. The physical capability. They just don't have the number of troop transport to do so in a meaningful way.
Plus unlike Ukraine, all Taiwan has to do is point a gun to their semiconductor production facilities and use that as leverage.

It looks like the pro-Russian MPs in Ukraine are starting to taste their ascension to power and asking Zelensky to start negotiations with Putin, and are mulling to form a delegation to start negotiations with Russian parliament.
Anti-War protests already underway in Russia.
Of course the Putin police is arresting as many of the protestors as possible, but I'm hopeful it's the start of bigger anti-Putin movement. With 150K+ troops away, I'm curious to see how what's left would handle mass protest.
@Slant maybe you germans should start pressuring your politicians for this shit: https://twitter.com/AmichaiStein1/st...5Es1_&ref_url=
There's also Cyprus as well I think with their dependence on corrupt russian olgiarch money.Amichai Stein

EU officials tell me: At this point Germany and Italy are the main opponents for disconnecting russia from swift and this "key to decision" depends on them. And they are pressured to agree.

That will go nowhere, because the reason Russia did this is because it has the EU in a vice grip over energy, just like they planned. Why do you think over the last few months the EU states started approving nuclear power plants and such? The thing is they started way too late for any type of energy independence from Russia.
It is easy to shut down a pipeline like Nord 2 that is not up and running, it is much harder to shutdown what powers their nation right now.
