A couple of points. Like the Crimea "invasion," this one involved no shots being fired other than the firecrackers of celebration going off as the "invaded" were liberated from eight years of terror. So invasion is not a word I'll be using.Tsar wrote: ↑February 23rd, 2022, 5:27 amI would love to see the European Union really suffer the most for being the worst collective lapdog of the United States when they have the power to align with Russia and China and other powers to force the United States to change it's behavior! I wonder how soon Europe will fold if people begin rioting and how much it damages the long-term alignment with the United States.gsjackson wrote: ↑February 23rd, 2022, 3:59 amWhoops, there goes the Biden-staring-down-the-Bear narrative. Russia has occupied the Donbass, and there is not a damn thing that can or should be done about it.
A lot of people think the world changed dramatically on 2/22/22. Putin has been biding his Sun Tsu time through years of (((western provocations))), and now it's time to fight back. We can hope it's true.
Russia probably stockpiled a decade's worth of spare chips and will soon revive their own high-tech industries damaged after the Soviet Union dissolved. They likely knew the United States would implement extreme sanctions, and the lapdogs EU, UK, Canada, Australia, and NZ would all go along. And that while seeking neutrality, Japan, South Korea, and Switzerland would also go along with some level of sanctions to appease the United States.
I knew Putin would invade before February was over because it's the perfect time and there likely wouldn't ever be a more perfect opportunity. Everyone in the United States and the European Union can enjoy their higher food and energy prices, but especially in Western Europe. Certain Eastern European nations should be fine.
Hopefully I read about riots in Western Europe which will definitely experience most of the negative effects and the worst negative effects. I also will smile at Britain getting higher energy bills. The United States getting a Financial Crisis if Europe is lucky enough to get a European Union Financial Crisis.
Russia will triumph like they did over Napoleon and Hitler. China will see it's geopolitical power increase because Russia has the resources it needs and Russia can act while China continues to keep it's own hands clean and use Russia as a glimpse into what China could do if provoked. Japan and South Korea should be fine but obviously appease the US but with less sanctions because they're more neutral, sane nations that want diplomacy and to avoid conflict. India would probably lean towards neutrality. Iran can look forward to closer relations with Russia. The United Kingdom's peasants can look forward to drinking tea for two meals a day because of their inflation which will get worse! The United States shouldn't really be effected. Russia is reclaiming the breadbasket region of Europe!
It's the European Union that will pay the greatest price for appeasing the United States and not abandoning US-led NATO and NATO-expansionism. I hope the Euro reaches parity with the dollar and Western European Eurozone nations have the worst economic crisis in modern history.
As for Russia reclaiming "Europe's breadbasket," let's see if Russia, which is claiming the right to go anywhere in Ukraine, starts to get rid of all the GMO seedings the U.S. brought in after the 2014 coup. That would be telling. As would Russian special forces actually arresting Kolomoisky and other murderous thugs and bringing them to trial, as Putin also promised.
This could be the best thing that's happened to the world in a long time. And yes, may the EU enjoy double double toil and trouble, for their part in the scamdemic as well as being disgusting lackeys to the empire. Well, what am I saying -- the EU is a major part of the empire. So, life should be very interesting -- and I hope not too stressing -- in Poland for the near future. The country might get back Lviv and much of western "Ukraine."
