and I think Blackwater is full of pieces of shit and the part of the government that paid them to do horrible things are also pieces of shit and they were only kept on the dole so they could do terrible things with plausible deniability (i.e. out of convenience)

So what's your point?

Russia losing. Remind everyone they have nukes. Pathetic really.

144 million Russians. The world really doesn't give a fuck what you want.

Choose the hill you want to die on already.

Sounds like clickbait, where journalists manufacture the news.

Isnt this already the beginning of Cold War 2.0? Nuke or no nuke, the threats have been made and for the first time ever in my life i'm actually concerned i could see a news headline on a nuclear detonation in war. No other post-Cold-War conflict insofar has ever spawned rhetoric like this by nuclear states.

tend to agree with this.

Not yet.

From my superficial view if Russia use a tactical on Ukraine.
I take it as the West will sanction anyone who trades with Russia.

We will have to see the response of these countries.

Shanghai Cooperation.
Asean
Mid East
India
Some Nations in Africa.
South America ( Mainly Brazil , Argentina and Venezuela )

In the East Which I am familiar.
Japan / Taiwan will follow suit.

South Korea will be put into a very very difficult position.
Singapore my country ( might also be put into a difficult position )

The rest of Asean might sway towards China and Russia.

So we need to see, this is the first time that I actually see that quite a number of countries are not exactly toeing America's stance on Russia. Did majority of the world condemn Russia's actions? Yes.
But did all of them follow suit to sanction Russia? Not really.

You can take a reference for this map.

Not on forbes, also killing anyone who works with Russians or agreed to collaborate is the usual routine for DPR. They even assassinated pro Russian streamers.

I'm going strictly off the headline of the link, which I didn't click: US *reportedly thinks* that Ukraine authorized killing a Russian oligarch.

Why is "what the US 'reportedly thinks'" a news story?

So much for the Russian false flag killing their own journalist.
