OT: Hrricanes Lounge XLVII: The return to obeying Rhules

[Negan4Coach]

This site misses a sad and angry agreement reaction.

Thing is I don’t think there is much done about Petrostate’s most efficient weapon - their information war.

…

What’s the point of messing up Russia’s demographics if there are so many traitors who’d sooner fight for Russia than for their own country, because they could get back at “THEM”.

information war aside- there were many of us advising against expanding NATO to Russia's border ever since Boris Yeltsin was running around drunk in his tighty-whities in the middle of the night in DC chasing hookers.

Imagine an alternate timeline where the US lost the cold war and broke apart. And then the Warsaw Pact expanded to include all of western europe, then Canada, then Mexico. And then tried to get Texas to join. Whomever was the US president at that point would make Putin seem like a lightweight.

IDK where we go from here, but maybe the EU should just raise its own army and find the 2nd coming of Napoleon to lead it.

It’s the least insane option.

You still think like an American. They don’t think like that.

Again, human beings are not meant to dive into the deep depths of the ocean in little submersibles.

RANDOM URGE TO TALK ABOUT AINU PEOPLE. AND THEIR PLIGHT CAUSED BY YAMATO.

Again, human beings are not meant to dive into the deep depths of the ocean in little submersibles.

HUMANS WERE NOT MEANT TO DO MANY ACTS THEY DO REGULARLY WITH IMPUNITY AND HUBRIS OF BIBLICAL PROPORTIONS. FOR BETTER OR WORSE.

Yeah, and if the US had invaded and occupied Mexico and Canada and Texas, leveling entire cities in the process, and then run them as puppet regimes, Mexico and and Texas would be all super f***ing ready to jump right into the Warsaw Pact, and the US would deserve it.

Countries don't randomly join military alliances. They join because they're threatened. "Russia" f***ed Moldova, they f***ed Georgia, they f***ed Syria, and they f***ed Chechnya, and now they've tried to f*** Ukraine twice -- only now they're paying for it. Good. It's not exactly a mystery why the most strident members of NATO are the members who were previously occupied by the Muscovy Empire.

If the US wants to walk away, fine. Europe will find its strength soon enough.

 

[MrazeksVengeance]

I hope. We are prone to put our heads in our arses.

wonder if someone would be shallow enough to find all of the juke boxes in canada that you can remote buy songs, and order them all the play freebird at 8pm tomorrow night.

It's almost like your boy Zelenski read my post before he gave his speech!

But really, if the EU is completely bent on the diktats of the technocratic elite in Belgium being enforced throughout the continent and will tolerate no deviation from them (ie, Hungary, Romania) then it should raise its own army and enforce their will. Because clearly, it isn't a road we are interested in going down with you guys

Hopefully, pursuing regime change via military force works out better for y'all then it did for us.

No, I get it. I'm just saying- given the aggressiveness of our foreign military adventurism far from our shores since the end of the Cold War, during the "Pax Americana" I just have to wonder how violent and aggressive we would have been if we had LOST the cold war and we had several states break away, and there were communist "color revolutions" in them sponsored by the KGB. I don't even think we'd have let it get that far, quite frankly. President Pat Buchanan would have launched the nukes as soon as Canada and Mexico went commie.

Well maybe… y’all spent couple of years talking to Ukrainian shadow government.

Who and in what manner?

 

[MrazeksVengeance]

I meant that Zelensky said the same thing, because I control him.

 

[MrazeksVengeance]

EUrope should start sending troops to the Baltics.

Like… right now.

The US is offering a protection racket; what else does Ukraine need?!

Oh my, they've found the surface of the ocean!

Less punishing racket than post-Versailles Germany.
