Already a topic. Only people downplaying the seriousness of the situation are recent JSP spawns. Likely Putin simps or pro Russian bots.

Do you have shit in your eyes? Better wipe it out so you can have a clear view of the situation

uk is playing both sides. the prime minister is harsh in discourse while the foreign affairs minister is preparing to visit the kremlin.

I live in ireland, where my government is Pro-Chinese, Pro-American and broadly, being a part of the EU, Anti-Russian.

China: Little news ever released, typically only positive things told about China. England on the other hand is not Pro-Chinese so we indirectly hear about the persecution of ethnic minorities, religion, and human rights abuses etc.
America: More news released, but broadly not much. Typically both the good and the bad, i.e. mass shootings, Elections and what not. America does not care what anyone reports, freedom of speech and all that I guess?
Russia: We broadly get nothing about Russia [ or only negatives, taken from the EU position]. so currently, Ukraine on the news.

However, as a sane person, with an open mind, I read from news sites in America, Ireland, England, Europe, The Middle East, Russia, China and Japan.
But if it opens your mind that includes reading from https://tass.com/ (Yes I appreciate it is biased but every country has biased media)



It is clear to me that the EU is the aggressor here. The EU has driven Russia into a corner and its a question of who blinks first. I would argue that Ukraine is in Russia's sphere of influence and they do not want to lose this influence or reduce the "map" of influence. Putin's mindset is to protect what he has (he is not expansionist, unlike the EU). To be clear, I am EU, I understand the logic, we want another big trade partner, nato etc. but we (EU) should have taken the long view on this and been more friendly with Russia before simply diving into making Ukraine switch sides. Very few western bodies take the long view on alot of things (Why China will be long term successful if they continue to do what they do - taking the long view).

European powers expecting a blitzkrieg in the Ukrainian capital. First domino on the eastern bloc.

Not the first time Germany and Russia have created a non aggression pact with each other regarding invading democratic states between them.

Russia is demanding that NATO leave Georgia and Belarus. Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania are looking nervous.

I love Russia, love Russians I meet, but am glad I'm not their neighbor lol.

Who had WW3 on their 2022 BINGO card?

You can't be serious, no one in their right mind is starting WW3 with the amount of nukes involved or Russian expansion in Europe for that matter.

This whole thing is about NATO creeping up to their doorstep and if you think about it you know they're right. US was prepared to go to war when Soviets were installing missiles on Cuba. Well, NATO has craploads of weaponry in countries like Poland and Baltic states including missile defense systems. Bad move because it made the Russians develop a whole range of hypersonic missiles that defeat those systems and now this Ukraine crisis. I'm not necessary pro Russian but this shit is just plain dumb.

Ukraine is run by a bunch of fascists and they deserve to lose some of their land to mother Russia.

Nice logic. Now go play with your Barbie dolls.
