@Ifallalot isn’t your Proud Boi slogan something like the “West Is the Best” or some sh!t like that? Have you noticed that pretty much the entire western world is supporting Ukraine in this conflict? How does that make you FEELZ?

The US would crush Russian forces.

US Navy has seven fleets, made up of 11 aircraft carriers, 92 cruisers and destroyers and 59 small surface combatants and combat logistics ships, 50 attack submarines, 14 ballistic missile submarines and four cruise missile submarines.

And in the air we have over 3000 fighter jets, 150 bombers, and crazy amount of drones and support aircraft.

Military complex, 'Murica! fvvk yah! :jamon:
That's why we beat the NVA and the Taliban. :rolleyes:

Seems like there's a huge Gell-Mann amnesia in this thread. This is our current state of readiness to fight Russia. The situation has only gotten worse since the publication of this. We're not going to do it.

The Narrative on TV is that this is good vs. evil, but the reality is we steadily added NATO countries eastward after the collapse of the USSR after promising we wouldn't. Finally, we fomented a rainbow revolution in the Ukraine in 2014 and then discussed Ukraine joining NATO which Putin has been clear is his line in the sand. It was only after this that Putin started the wars in Eastern Ukraine, just like he didn't invade South Ossetia until Georgia indicated they were going to join NATO In 2008.

We could easily avoid this by telling Ukraine to sign a treaty with Russia that they won't join NATO and stop meddling there.

The people on TV are chronic liars about all this stuff and most work for defense companies. Few have been outside DC.

Military might don't mean sh!t if we start lobbing nukes at each other. That's the end for everybody.

Kinda conflicts with "Russia is our friend" Or being Western Chauvinist and multi cultural at the same time?
Like most of ifailalot's word definitions, "Western" means something else to him.

I can't remember now but I know he counts bunch of non-western nations as Western.

Funny thing is, much of Russian culture leans heavily towards that of Europe.

The media is already trying to spin the Ukraine issue as being an excuse for the Biden Inflation Explosion. Beyond being a dishonest and lame thing to do it ignores Biden's direct role in causing the Ukraine situation.
What was Biden's direct role? Answer the question don't ghost like usual.

It's not a NATO member. It's actually part of the BRICS along with Russia and China :rolleyes: .
Yep. The BRICs are actually moving closer together.
Everyone but the US sees the US as a rapidly-declining power. Of course, reforms can avert collapse, but our elites refuse to see anything wrong with anything they do.
