Peter Zeihan is like reddit if it were a person


He's the Mearsheimer for people who aren't closeted simps for autocratic strongman types.

Ukraine would be the obvious choice. The border of Belgorod Oblast is literally wide open.

Conjecture at best and irrelevant at worst.

Where else would CIA agents try to escape?

sorry are we living in the twilight zone here? Ukraine have basically said they would do it, the USA told them not to do it, they did it anyway and then basically admitted to it. what am I missing here ?

also, I dont see anything right or wrong with this, Ukraine's armed forces are wrecked so they are carrying out terrorist activities in the hopes of getting a result. This is no different then any other war in history where a smaller country tries its best against a larger country. One man's terrorist is another's freedom fighter. Leaving morals at the door here. The US would not do this, it does not serve their purpose. I dont understand all this deflection. be real here, this is normal based on the situation presented.

also I dont see anything right or wrong with the Russian response, its war time, shit happens.

lol wut

It's clear there are Russian defensive lines a short distance from the border, look at the maps.

The Russians can react immediately (which is why the incursions that you were cheerleading resulted in heavy Ukrainian losses).

What you're missing is the same thing you're always missing. Evidence.

Alot of worrying rhetoric in your posts recently. It used to come across as moderate and balanced.

Important to add that while nothing has changed even Russia accepts they are at war. As if they have been all along.

However you chop it up Putin is bringing war to Europe on a scale not seen for generations.

Will you simps wake up yet?

War in europe, and in many parts of the world is inevitable. We are seeing it in large parts of central and north africa, and soon it will expand to asia as well. it is a consequence of human nature, when an established world order is disrupted it will indisputably lead to balance of power conflicts..

If you are going to look at a singular catalyst that broke the status quo, it isn´t russia, really China broke the world order. What we as individuals can hope for is that a new world order, the faster it is established the better and less bloodshed will happen. It has nothing to do with simping.

the crazy thing is, russia was isolationist and this "disruption" to "world order" was expressly done by the US to increase their global footprint (in Ukraine). shoving Russia in to China's arms, or rather, forcing Russia to defend itself, upgrade its arsenal and army, has to go down in history as one of the dumbest things the US government has ever done.
