it would be a very short thread indeedHope we don't need a subthread for WW3.
It is mad how we 'know' so much about it via social media, news, flight radars etc compared to previous conflicts.

I've got a wife, teenage children and my brother and his family. If I have to stand in front of a Russian onslaught to try to keep them safe then I'd do it for them, not for the unequal society. I'd be terrified. I probably wouldn't be of much use as I'm in my mid 50's now. I wouldn't want to do it and I wouldn't expect to survive. But as the saying goes, all that is needed for evil to triumph is for good men to do nothing.As I've said for a long time, stuff that there's no way I'll be putting my life on the line to preserve this massively unequal society. I'll let the ones with the most to lose do the fighting.
America need us?UK will be Americas special friend again now they need us, unlike when we wanted a trade deal
Not really been following this as I generally avoid the news if I can help it, but as expected a whole load of noise being made about nothing.
Perhaps some of you should try weaning off it for awhile. Sure you may get some form of withdrawal symptoms, but in the long run your be healthier for it.
You can’t avoid it completely it’s rammed down your throats all day everyday.
But it like deja vu I swear we had this same ‘crisis’ a few years ago. Russian army amassed on Ukrainian border preparing to invade imminently. Yawn.
They are on there own land. Free to run military training exercises.
If they invade I’ll eat humble pie. If they don’t… Well I like pie![]()
Dude c’mon the crimea situation had a little bit more involved with it than merely an unprovoked invasion. Like I said if Russia is going to invade let me know when it happens…. For real though
But it’s all speculation though. As I said Russia are not fools they know how the west would react no amount of posturing and threats from west would change that.
It’s not going to happen not before not now. It was supposed to happen last night, now it’s after the olympics. Then when the next blood moon? Someone I suspect was closest when they said it’s just postering by tow high school jocks. Sorry
Any military training exercises cost money. It will be costing other to react too obviously.
What do they benefit in going to war with the west? Because that’s what invasion will entail and that hasn’t changed since 2014 or post cold war
Then come find me when the invasion finally starts and I’ll give a big dollop of humble pie. Until then…
How was I wrong? And when did I claim to be forecaster of the future?I was sure I saw someone rubbishing the forecasts of invasion. Can anyone help? Was Doobedoo the poorest forecaster in this thread, or was it someone else?...
I believe if this does go to nato countries there are enough nukes around to make this a binary outcome.
I wouldn't want to be alive for the Aftermath of that.
It’s not usually a choice if you know how conscripting worksAs I've said for a long time, stuff that there's no way I'll be putting my life on the line to preserve this massively unequal society. I'll let the ones with the most to lose do the fighting.
Mm surely after a first strike its 'everyone for themselves' and a volley of nukes would fly towards Russia...
There's always a choice.It’s not usually a choice if you know how conscripting works
Russia would be much worse off but even 1 nuke landing in NATO territory would be too much.Mm surely after a first strike its 'everyone for themselves' and a volley of nukes would fly towards Russia...
After reading those posts I'd just do an impression of that Homer Simpson backing into a bush if I were you.How was I wrong? And when did I claim to be forecaster of the future?
A little cryptic…There's always a choice.

Wow, delusion factor 100%.How was I wrong? And when did I claim to be forecaster of the future?
