I was listening to a military expert this morning, and he believes that there's a 90% chance that Joey will get us into a full on war with Russia?

Were Trump's mean Tweets really all that bad?

Establishment politicians like Joey do whatever the shadow government tells them to do. Anyone with a brain knows that Joey isn't the real president. The shadow government LOVES war, because it's a big money maker for the military industrial complex. And as long as it's not YOUR arms and legs getting blown off, it's awesome!

The left says that the right are warmongers. That's not true. The shadow government is the warmonger, and all they need to make it happen is a brainless puppet.

I will never understand why you leftists chose the brain-dead sociopath over Tulsi.

Well, let's hope that is not true.

It doesn't have to be. Ukraine is fighting for their homeland... it is their fight, not ours. I know Russia is peeved we are giving them weapons... that is how it has always been... the U. S. S. R. gave weapons and support to North Korea, Vietnam against us. We gave weapons to the fighters in Afghanistan when the U. S. S. R. invaded them.

But, unless they go psycho and just start launching nuclear weapons... the Russians are really weak now. So much of their equipment has already been destroyed, so many of their soldiers have died, the moral is awful, their fighting capability and ability to project power out into the world is really low now.

Where will this war take place? Why would we go to Russia ever? Why would Russia ever attempt to come here?

The Ukranians are fighting in Ukraine. I, personally, don't see such a war.

[Stacey55666]

The war will be fought in Ukraine, and thus it would be a ground war. In the Afghanistan and Iraq war, we mostly bombed the shit out of them from the air. We can't do that in Ukraine, so I think it will be a ground war. Some are saying that could mean that the draft gets reinstated.

Maybe Russia is getting depleted, but China and Iran could come to their aid. And I'm sure North Korea would be glad to help.
Trump offered to broker a peace deal between the two countries, but Biden didn't want that. And Biden hasn't made an effort to negotiate a peace deal. Biden is doing his part to make this war happen.

@Miristheiss I am sorry to say this but you get into a dirty fight with a major technical power like Russia and their options for retaliating against us are vast. They don't need to risk a nuclear exchange when they could simply 'lose' on of their nukes to a party hostile to us willing to use it.

They don't even need to risk 'losing' a nuke they could also 'lose' anyone of countless virus they have in their inventory to cripple our economy. Many of which have very high death rates like smallpox and would kill hundreds of millions before we could produce enough vaccines to stop it. While Russia like China gets to claim innocents.

Indeed even if we could trace the infection back to their lab (we couldn't if they just released it clandestinely) Russia could always claim innocence, say the sanctions undermined their ability to secure theses facilities.

What exactly would we do about that? Technically they are right, this war is compromising Russia's ability to secure all of it very dangerous weapons, while giving corrupt factions within Russia a good reason to sell them.

Im sorry to say but we really shouldn't be concerned about a nuclear war with Russia, Putin isn't that stupid and he has far better options.

[worldscolide]

Yeah Biden has presided over the destruction of our economy, and I can guarantee he will spark WW3

[Stacey55666]

Putin has warned him many times to stay out of the Russia/Ukraine war. Trump didn't start a war for four years, so I guess we are due for a war. But this next one will probably be the last one.

[monorprise]

Russia is more likely to retaliate for all the military aid being used by NATO against their country using a unconventional weapon that can be hard to trace back to them such as any number of a wide range of bio-weapons Russia has access to.

This would cripple our industry as COVID-19 did while allowing Russia to claim innocent and superior tecnoligy as they amazingly come up with a vaccine first.

Russia has no need to get into a unwinnable conflict with the west to hurt us badly, and undermine our ability to aid their enemies as a military necessity. Frankly some of the stuff we know for a fact they have access to is very scary and would make COVID look like nothing.

Smallpox for example is known to be in the Russian inventory, and even if they didn't even bother to modify it at all, it would still kill hundreds of millions if released while Russia would be unharmed having previously created a supply of the vaccine for their own people and china's to be released promptly.
