Awesome. Canada next.
Time to protect yourselves from Putin and his puppet.
Ursula Von Der Leyen, head of the UE commission, have been indicted in multiple case of corruption and is notoriously in bed with the weapons industry and big pharma. She’s as rotten as Putin.
I think Ukraine should definitely join, but right now we desperately need to reform the veto system before taking any more members
That’s just messaging from leadership on future direction.
Unfortunately, Orban has not magically stopped being Putin’s toadie.
Maybe Trump shitting on everything and making Europe realize they don’t need the approval of the US to breathe was the best thing that could have happened to Ukraine.
the best thing that could have happened to Ukraine.
And therefore the world
I think we’re in for some rocky times over the next few years, but I think the world will be better off with the USA knocked down a few pegs. They are too large and their general population is too easily swayed by nonsense.
The question is, will the population learn anything by being starved out or will they continue to blame anything but their own hubris?
Good question. Germany only “learned” by being forced to change after military defeat (and even so, the AfD has been making progress). That’s not going to happen here - it will have to be the harder way, total societal collapse.
we are, today, russia 15 years ago. i’m putting in as much work as i can to not be russia as it is now in 15 years.
I fear we are well on the path as was described by Robert Heinlein a while back:
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/"If_This_Goes_On—"
Unfortunately I don’t expect things to go well I’m the states. I really hope I’m wrong in that…
Trump does shake shit up and sometimes, good things come out of it. It’s not worth the cost of the bad things though, because it’s usually everyone below the 1% that suffer.
Yeah now when the ukrainian kids will be kidnapped and sent to the frontline they will have brand new FAL.
I think the world is starting to wake up that maybe we don’t actually need America, at all. People will go where the jobs and economy is. America might not be that soon enough.
BRICS is already eating their lunch. The US is floundering badly.
I think that’s Putin’s plan with Trump. I’m not sure they have something on him more than he’s just a complete moron that will destabilize the USA from inside.
The US coup’ed the USSR in 1990 and the eastern block had nothing to eat for ten years.
I was thinking one of the best things that could come out of this is if the US split into multiple countries
That’s exactly what Russia has wanted since the cold war “ended”. That said, I honestly don’t know how we heal from this. A third of the country is bat shit crazy, and the sane among us are never going to join in their fascism. I think Balkanization is, for better or worse, in our future.
Assuming we don’t all blow ourselves up first.
That’s exactly what Russia has wanted since the cold war “ended”.
No shit. Americans empowered ultranationalist to balkanize the USSR. Have a taste of your own medecine.
That’s what scares the shit out of me. I’m in a VERY red state, surrounded by red states, in a blue pocket of urban.
And lets be honest, civil war is not off the table, and much of it will be religious. If you’ve lived in the South, the Southern Baptist Church has been wanting a chance to turn the country into a full Christian cult whether you like it or not. And would be happy to get rid of the “Mary worshippers” (Catholics). And weirdly I’m side eyeing the Mormons because I’m actually relatively close to their holy land in Missouri and I’m sure it’s not forgotten the state had Missouri Executive Order 44 (the Mormon Extermination Order). Doesn’t help the Salt Lake of Salt Lake City is disappearing and spreading toxic dust.
It’s gonna be fun!
I’m in a blue city in a blue state, though we have plenty of red. But we’re where the proud boys and other majestically brain-dead champions of mediocrity love to come and cause trouble while the cops protect them. So yeah, it’s all going to suck, and probably sooner than later 😮💨
I would feel better about this if America didn’t have so many nukes…
Yaaa…
Unfortunately the division this time is more rural/urban which would make the logistics of that nearly impossible. If you offered a time for people to move it’d also be vastly lopsided, not to mention things like house prices would crater in some places while skyrocketing in others.
I didn’t necessarily mean best for Americans, any way you put it they’re cooked.
Oh no, house prices, one of the thing that totally works under today’s oligarchy I mean free market
All it took was a fifth columnist takeover and both sides of my family and my wife’s being disconnected from their roots for more than an entire generation… 🥳
Ukraine first and hopefully Canada soon after.
And US, in the end, we need to help them. We should write down a list of reforms for them, they got people shooting at themselves, living in tents along the streets, they’re full of drugs addicted, obesity, low quality education, and so on. Let them apply too
It’s so funny that even the altruistic Americans don’t ever see the benefits of support deals, only that they’re either helping or taking.
It’s funny that in the end it’s a question of oil and gas
