Global Events & Politics Überthread

They internalized this Russia stuff. They anticipate Trump will support Russia. It makes sense. Trump wants the US to be like Russia with him in the Putin role.

Man, it’s been great stepping away from the stupid **** the three stooges are still posting here

Shocker the haters of democracy are siding with Putin. They and their orange cult leader admire Putin


Hopefully Ukraine can prevail and the other western democracies can back channel or directly help

Man you're an idiot. Can you point to the post I or others as "siding with Putin"

(This is the part where you won't answer)

He and his ****ing cult are calling Putin savvy. Never thought I’d see the day where the so called republicans and self proclaimed Reagan lovers would be giddy to support Russia instead of democratic countries


They really are just following the same steps and talking points as the last time “America first” had this much support. Weird that another war in Europe was happening then too with a strong leader who invaded countries unprovoked etc

This has got a lot of "if you don't support the Iraq war then you are not a patriotic American" vibes
 
Looks like Dumb and Dumber are playing games of misdirection after watching Biden utterly fail on the world stage.
 
I'm really curious what Putin's end game is here. A complete takeover of Ukraine would result in crippling sanctions that would basically collapse the Russian economy. Their stock market and financial system are already taking massive hits. Being cut off from technology and western finance is devastating this day in age.

If he decides to occupy and annex the "breakaway regions" but stops there and lets things quiet back down, I could see the west easing sanctions wanting Russian oil and gas to flow freely. But what damage will the Russian economy take before it gets to that point? Even this, which is probably the best case scenario for Putin, is a massive gamble. If the Russian oligarchs get their pocket books squeezed too hard they might decide there's a better leader to back than Putin. That wont end well for Putin.

The rhetoric by Putin has me concerned. The nonsense about cleansing Nazism from Ukraine hints at a takeover and either regime change or else annexation of the entirety of Ukraine. That's a concerning development from a guy who has said the fall of the Berlin Wall was the most traumatic event of his life.
